"What are you looking at me like that for?" Yuan Shu Huan felt quite uncomfortable under Pei Ming Xuan's gaze! If it was said that in the past few years, Pei Ming Xuan's eyes were fiery, they wouldn't be as profound as they are now. That head of white hair, although it makes people feel a bit heartbroken, actually adds to Pei Ming Xuan's elegance!
"It's just that I want to see!" Today's experience, Bae Myung-seon felt a bit unreal! So Bae Myung-seon wanted to take another look, at least he could clearly feel that he wasn't hallucinating. Such anxiety and unease made Bae Myung-seon feel bitter, but the person in front of him made him feel happy!
Yuan Shu Han wrapped her arms around Pei Ming Xuan's waist with a hint of helplessness, and actively nestled herself into his embrace. Although it had been five years since she last felt Pei Ming Xuan's presence, it was enough to calm Yuan Shu Han down entirely! She also sensed that Pei Ming Xuan's breathing was gradually calming down, and it turned out that they had unknowingly become each other's better half.
No matter who lost who, it would make the other feel painful. Only when two people are together can they feel complete. It turns out that Bae Myung-seon's influence on himself has been so great without knowing it? The spring breeze and rain for half a year made the two inseparable like mud and water. Although they had done more intimate things between them, at this moment, just such a simple hug was enough!
"I'll go make something for you to eat..." Yuan Shu Huan suddenly remembered that he hadn't done anything for Pei Ming Xuan in a long time, thinking that if he could just take good care of Pei Ming Xuan, it would be great!
"No." It's not being willful or throwing a tantrum, it's Pei Mingxuan can't bear to part with Yuan Shuhuan! The feeling at this moment is so warm, how can Pei Mingxuan bear to let go of Yuan Shuhuan like this? There are countless people who can cook and do chores for Pei Mingxuan, but the time spent with Yuan Shuhuan is so short! "Or I'll watch you do it!"
Bae Myung-seon came up with a compromise, and it's been a long time since he had a taste of Won Seo-hwan's cooking, thinking about it makes Bae Myung-seon feel nostalgic!
"Good! As long as you don't say that gentlemen avoid the kitchen, it's settled!" If it were like that, it wouldn't be a bad thing, probably similar to the legendary male farming and female weaving. It is said that such a life is simple and happy, but Yuan Shuhuan has never tried it before. However, they are not people who can farm and weave, at most they can just retreat from the world and pick chrysanthemums by the east fence, carefree and see the southern mountain!
"I'm not a gentleman!" Pei Mingxuan now no longer wants to be any kind of gentleman, he just wants to stay by Yuan Shuhuan's side and be Yuan Shuhuan's husband! Besides, it might still work if he just watched from the side, but for him to take action himself? That's absolutely impossible! It's not that Pei Mingxuan is unwilling, it's just that he really doesn't have any talent in this area!
Moreover, with the beauty in front of him and his own legitimate wife, he would be a fool to act like a gentleman or a Liu Xiahui. Unfortunately, Pei Mingxuan now feels that it's not quite right, although they have reunited after a long time and seeing Yuan Shuhuan again has forgiven himself, but Pei Mingxuan knows that everything still depends on whether he does well in the future.
Yuan Shu Han has already said that things won't go beyond three times, Pei Ming Xuan wouldn't be so stupid to continue trying such a thing, unless he really doesn't want a wife anymore.
Bae Myung-seon's house is also the same as Won Soo-hwan's, buying up the surrounding houses and connecting them one by one to expand to its current scale. In this courtyard where Bae Myung-seon lives, there is even a small kitchen with all kinds of dishes. Won Soo-hwan easily found the materials he needed, while Bae Myung-seon occasionally handed him something or chopped vegetables...
Looking at Yuan Shu Han's serious expression, Pei Ming Xuan felt that this was truly not bad! Perhaps in other people's eyes, these things might even be considered lowly, but when actually doing them, one would discover a kind of warmth within. A woman who washes your hands and cooks soup for you, two people busily working together on common tasks. Although it may not have that romantic, moving feeling, it has an added sense of peaceful tranquility that comes with the passing years!
"Still spacing out, time to wash hands and eat!" Yuan Shuheng was still not used to using words like "meal", but actually there was no need to get hung up on these things.
When Pei Mingxuan finished washing his hands and went over, Yuan Shuhan had already set up a table of dishes! It has to be said that Yuan Shuhan's speed is really not covered, in this short period of time, he has already arranged a table of dishes! Pei Mingxuan looked at it, similar to what he used to eat at Yuan Shuhan's house, and suddenly had a feeling of going back to the past!
After arriving in the capital, Yuan Shuheng was lazy and listless. These things also stopped for Pei Mingxuan! Thinking back, Pei Mingxuan still had some nostalgia for that time when several people lived in a small courtyard, although it was dull, but at least life was smooth sailing. After coming out, many things felt different, at least those leisurely days no longer existed!
Bae Myung-seon now has a feeling of reliving old dreams and cherishes this time. Perhaps, compared to those seemingly intimate but actually estranged couples who treat each other like guests, they can be considered a truly married couple! Bae Myung-seon treasures his current life, but inadvertently catches sight of his white hair!
Originally, she was much older than Yuan Shuhuan, and now it seems that her age is even greater. However, Yuan Shuhuan had already served a bowl of soup for Pei Mingxuan and placed it in front of him, just like a obedient little wife to her husband.
"Drink some soup first, then worry about your white hair! Actually, you look pretty good like this, don't always think so much nonsense!" Yuan Shuhuan came from modern times and had seen many people dye their black hair white, so he didn't feel the same disgust towards white hair as ordinary people did. Moreover, with Bai Mingxuan's exceptionally handsome face paired with his white hair, it only added to his elegance!
Bae Myung-seon is not a person who likes to indulge in idle thoughts, and the entanglement just now was only fleeting. Moreover, Won Seo-hwan described his own white hair as "pretty good-looking", which made Bae Myung-seon even more indifferent! As for the gazes of others, Bae Myung-seon is even more indifferent. After all, due to his appearance, from childhood to adulthood, he has always been bathed in such gazes.
"Can we be considered as a couple who have grown old together, with white hair and never parting ways?" Pei Mingxuan suddenly asked with a smile. In the past, he had always thought this phrase was truly beautiful, but now he really could be considered to have white hair.
"Then it's settled! Wait till I'm also grey-haired, then it'll be even more settled!" Yuan Shu Huan thought to himself that one day he would also have a head full of white hair like Pei Ming Xuan, and at that time they would definitely not have the mood to care about these trivial matters. Yuan Shu Huan used the dagger hidden in his sleeve to cut off a strand of his own hair and Pei Ming Xuan's, and put them into the brocade pouch he wore on his person.
Pei Mingxuan stared blankly at Yuan Shuheng, remembering that he had done the same thing when they were newlyweds. The first time they tied their hair together, the black strands were entangled and could no longer be distinguished from each other. This time, however, the black and white hairs were clearly distinguishable, yet there was a sense of intertwining like water and milk.
"Can we eat in peace now?" Yuan Shu Huan knew that doing so might be a bit corny, but wearing the hair from the sachet on her body unexpectedly made her feel at ease. In fact, they didn't want much from each other, it's just that they used to not understand what it means to cherish.
Yu Shu Han knew that although Pei Ming Xuan was not entirely innocent, he would never wrong himself. However, his past self still chose to leave resolutely, precisely because he couldn't put down his pride and thought such things were laughable. Whoever heard someone call their newlywed husband "husband" would react with even more indignation than Yu Shu Han...
But perhaps the only one who can leave decisively like this is Yuan Shu Huan. When love is tired, when each other's personalities collide, leaving is just a way to escape pain!
Just like now Yuan Shu is not forgiving Pei Mingxuan, but feeling heartache and pity for him...
"That year, after you left, I killed that woman... " Pei Ming Xuan said. "I know this can't solve the problem, but I couldn't help hating the culprit who made us separate. Later, I realized that the problem wasn't with that woman, she was just someone I shouldn't have messed with."
"It's because we ourselves have problems, that woman is like a mirror to us, it's just a matter of time... I thought I was strong enough, but unexpectedly I'm still very fragile in such things! Perhaps it's precisely because we've never had it before, so we're even more afraid of losing it!"
"You two keep talking and the dishes will get cold!" This wasn't a voice from outside, it was Yu Tiancheng finally arriving! But seeing these two people being so affectionate with each other, Yu Tiancheng felt like he was going to be sick! And looking at this table of food, it was obvious that it wasn't cooked by a professional chef... Yuan Shuhuan's cooking Yu Tiancheng had eaten before...
After that incident, Pei Mingxuan became like a dead man. Yu Tiancheng went all over the world to help Pei Mingxuan find someone. No matter how he asked Pei Mingxuan, Pei Mingxuan only said it was his own fault! As for what exactly happened, no matter how An Qi and An Mo asked, they just shook their heads and sighed...
Yu Tiancheng was also helpless and sighed in the face of such a situation, but Pei Mingxuan's flying letter two days ago made Yu Tiancheng rush to this side with all due haste.
I didn't expect that these two not only wasted resources here, but also got to a certain level of corniness! The two of them were so affectionate with each other, looking quite happy, at least they wouldn't have to see Pei Mingxuan's expression of being unable to live on... Later, Yu Tiancheng received a fright!
"Mother!" This was the duet of Pei Hua and Mo Pei Hua, although they knew that Pei Ming Xuan was their father, but they just didn't get used to calling him that!
"Hua Miao, Hua Shuang is not obedient!" Yuan Shu Han's tone was a bit mischievous, reminding the two children that there was someone else beside them. These two kids should be quite well-behaved, why would they reject Pei Ming Xuan like this? Hua Shuang can be forgiven, but Hua Miao was saved by Pei Ming Xuan himself!
"Dad." This was Huamei's solo, and it still carried a hint of fear. The warmth of this dad's embrace, as well as the coldness of his back, were all etched in Huamei's heart!
