Chapter 235 I am the chief disciple of the Goddess of Fertility, and that orchard was a gift from he
After washing my face, brushing my teeth, and taking a bath in the bathroom, I wrapped myself in a towel, feeling fragrant, and snuggled sweetly with my wife.
Qiao Manman was a little breathless from the kisses. She pushed hard against his chest, saying, "That's enough!"
Lu Yuan was utterly aggrieved. A month or two had passed since their wedding, and he'd only ever had meat broth. Was there anyone in the world more pathetic than him?!
Taking a few deep breaths, he got off Qiao Manman, looking aggrieved, and said, "You don't love me!"
Qiao Manman rolled her eyes and straightened her clothes: "Don't you feel guilty saying that?"
Realizing he had misspoke, Lu Yuan hugged Qiao Manman tightly and said, "Wife, I was wrong. I just wanted to be a little affectionate with you and make you love me more!"
Qiao Manman snorted: "With your temperament, if you lived in ancient times, you would definitely be a seductress who bewitches the emperor."
She reached out and lifted his chin, gently stroking it: "From now on, the king will no longer hold morning court!"
"I do hope to be able to bewitch my wife completely!"
Qiao Manman smiled and took out a box of scar removal cream from her space. She scooped out a fingertip and applied it to Lu Yuan's face.
Looking at the faint marks on Qiao Manman's face, Lu Yuan recalled what his boss had told him, and said tenderly, "Wife, you've worked so hard!"
"Good to know! Does your head still hurt? You came back from the brink of death, so your injuries can't heal too quickly. While you were unconscious yesterday, the leader came to visit and brought a lot of good things."
Lu Yuan hummed in agreement, indicating that he understood.
I raised my hand to touch my scalp; the tearing sensation was gone. Only...
"My head feels cold, like it's getting chilled!"
"After soaking in sub-zero temperatures for days and nights, it's no wonder you're freezing! You're lucky you haven't frozen to death!"
Qiao Manman took out half a bottle of water from last night, which had been diluted with the Rejuvenation Pill, and made Lu Yuan drink it. She then picked a bunch of bright red loquats from the orchard in the space-mutated area.
"These can ward off the cold, eat them all!"
Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony. He peeled off the skin just like Qiao Manman and gently bit into the flesh. The soft, sweet taste made his eyes widen.
"What kind of fruit is this? It tastes delicious!"
"Have you had loquat before?"
Lu Yuan nodded, then shook his head: "I ate some loquats there when I passed through Yuhang on a mission before. But they were yellow, unlike these!"
"Of course, this was stolen from the orchard of the Goddess of Fertility!"
Lu Yuan immediately tensed up: "Wife, you'd better send it back quickly! Don't let the Goddess of Fertility find out and blame you!"
Qiao Manman chuckled, "Do you think the Goddess of Fertility is just a freeloader? Since she asked me to bring it out, it means she agreed. So just eat it without worry!"
Lu Yuan picked up a pill, hesitated for a long time, then put it down: "I still won't..."
"Eat up, eat up, it's mine, my own garden!"
Qiao Manman put her hands on her hips: "I am the chief disciple of the Goddess of Fertility. That orchard was given to me by the Goddess, so that I could spread blessings in the human world and help people give birth to healthy boys and girls!"
Lu Yuan believed it and sincerely praised, "My wife is really amazing!"
He finished eating all the loquats, feeling a warm sensation that gradually turned into a burning sensation, as if a fire was scorching his body.
A wisp of cold air drifted out from the still-healing wound and vanished without a trace. Lu Yuan was covered in sweat, but felt refreshed.
Qiao Manman went to the bathroom and prepared a basin of bathwater for him. She thought it would be great if the female lead could go to a supply and marketing cooperative or something. She could then take Lu Yuan into her spatial hot spring.
Unlike now, where the water is changed repeatedly.
However, one should be content. Qiao Manman quickly tidied herself up and went to make breakfast.
There was millet porridge and chicken soup in the room. Qiao Manman took out a bag of frozen buns and put them in a pot to steam. She also took out a cabbage and two sheets of bean curd skin, chopped them up, and made a cold salad.
Once everything was settled, Lu Yuan came out. He was wearing loose thermal underwear and was drying his hair as he walked.
Qiao Manman served millet porridge, and an overwhelming aroma instantly filled the entire building.
Qiao Manman was startled for a moment, then quickly took out the array plate that she had redeemed from the system shop, which could isolate smells and sounds, and activated it with spirit stones.
The fragrance instantly filled the 60-square-meter room, and the neighbors sniffed, wondering if they were delirious.
Qiao Manman listened carefully to the sounds coming from upstairs and downstairs. Seeing that nothing was amiss, she patted her chest.
"Hurry up and eat!" She handed the millet porridge to Lu Yuan and drank the chicken soup herself.
"You can eat meat again when you feel better."
Lu Yuan nodded: "I'll listen to my wife!"
He picked up a steamed bun and took a big bite. The warm, soft texture brought tears to his eyes.
God knows how he survived all that time, drinking snow water and eating raw meat. He's incredibly lucky to have come back alive.
Lu Yuan wolfed down his food, finishing the buns in just a few minutes. Qiao Manman, worried he wouldn't have enough, brought out some bread.
Lu Yuan didn't move, but drank half a pot of millet porridge from the bowl. When his stomach felt a little full, he licked his lips and said, "Delicious!"
Qiao Manman didn't say anything, put away the array plate, and told Lu Yuan to get up and walk around to help with digestion.
Lu Yuan took the initiative to clean up the dishes and utensils, washing them thoroughly before tidying up the room.
Qiao Manman put his dirty clothes into her spatial storage and put them in the washing machine to rinse. Half an hour later, she took them out and hung them on the balcony to dry.
After that, the two stayed quietly together, one reading a book and the other making fertility pills, getting along harmoniously.
Around noon, someone knocked on the door. Qiao Manman put away the medicinal herbs and opened the door to check on the situation.
"Commander He, please come in!"
"I've come to check on Comrade Lu. Is he awake?"
"She's awake, she's inside!"
Inside the room, Lu Yuan pretended to be weak. Hearing the noise, he threw off the covers and got out of bed, but was stopped by Brigade Commander He who rushed in.
"Don't move, don't move, lie down! I just came to check if you have a fever, and if you need to be taken to the hospital!"
"I'm much better now, thank you for your concern, boss!"
Commander He sat down on a chair next to him, first informing Lu Yuan about the situation of the three wounded soldiers, then discussing the details of the mission and the current situation of the team.
Qiao Manman hid in the kitchen, with no intention of eavesdropping at all.
After the two finished talking, they were about to invite Brigade Commander He to stay for dinner when he said, "No, I have a lot of official business to attend to. Let Lu Yuan rest well and return to the unit after the New Year, depending on his physical condition."
"Okay, thank you, boss!"
Qiao Manman saw the other person off, and the moment she closed the door, Lu Yuan jumped out of bed.
With such vigor and strength, how could there be the slightest weakness?
Qiao Manman smiled and shook her head, stewing pork ribs on the stove. Lu Yuan and she chatted casually, the atmosphere warm and harmonious, until they started talking about Meng Peiyu.
"Lu Yuan, it's not that I'm stirring things up, Meng Peiyu is acting strangely!"
Lu Yuan frowned: "Tell me more details!"
Qiao Manman took out the big-flowered hen: "Not long after you went on your mission, Sister Chen brought over a piece of salted meat. I fed it to Da Hua, just two pieces, and look how wilted it is!"
