“Let’s sleep the same way we did last night.” Su Qingyue suggested before climbing into bed.

Xiao Yuchuan covered his wife with his quilt and opportunistically leaned over her, making a pitiful plea, “Wife…allow me to share a quilt with you…”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yishan’s strong, dark face darkened further. Grabbing Xiao Yuchuan’s arm, he pulled him up, “Third brother, stop fooling around! Can’t you see you’re upsetting our wife?”

Being in bed, Su Qingyue couldn’t see what Xiao Yishan said because her view was blocked by Xiao Yuchuan. From the way he pulled Xiao Yuchuan away, she realized that their second brother was indeed a proper gentleman.

“Thank you, second brother,” she sincerely expressed her gratitude. Initially, she felt it was wrong for their second brother to stay in the same room, but now it seemed to be the right choice. Having a third wheel around prevented tne petty cat trom wreaking navoc.

Xiao Yishan’s face stiffened. He had only pulled the third brother away with the intention of asking his wife if he could share a quilt with her too. Her words of thanks put him in an awkward position, making it seem as though Yuchuan was lewd while he was the ideal gentleman. He was just a normal man who wanted his wife, in every sense of the word…

Recalling the night she had a fever, when he had to feed her medicine, he remembered her taste—the sweet, intoxicating aroma of her lips that felt so delicate and moist. The taste was so enticing it haunted him, even in his dreams.

Xiao Yuchuan glared at Xiao Yishan, “Second brother, don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming! Always on my case!”

“Go to bed!” Xiao Yishan ordered sternly.

Without seeing the exchange between the two brothers, Su Qinqyue closed her eyes to rest.

Seeing that his wife didn’t reject Xiao Yuchuan’s quilt, Xiao Yishan sighed internally, accepting it as tacit consent. Fine, it was just a quilt, and if it kept her third brother comfortable, then so be it.

With only two quilts for three people, he threw his own to Xiao Yuchuan, “Use this tonight.”

Xiao Yuchuan pulled out a thick coat from the cabinet, “I can cover myself with this coat at night, you keep the quilt.”

“It’s not that cold tonight, and our wife is frail. She needs a quilt. It doesn’t matter if we don’t use one,” Xiao Yishan announced before hitting the hay.

Yuchuan glanced at Su Qingyue, who had her eyes closed. He wanted to approach her, but seeing the warning look from the second brother, he understood that he won’t consent to them sharing a quilt. If he continued to insist, none of them would be able to sleep.

Better to respect his brother’s wishes. Su Qingyue was still healing from her injury, they shouldn’t force her to do anything until she’s fully recovered.

With the oil lamp burning, Xiao Yuchuan took out a needle and thread basket and a mound of cloth from the cabinet. He’d cut the cloth into proportions measured from his memory of Qingyue’s body size while she was sleeping earlier that day. He added a bit of extra allowance to each piece.

The clothes he’d make would be a bit loose because Qingyue was too thin at the moment. He planned to plump up his wife. If he tailored the clothes according to her current size, they’d be too tight once she gained weight. A bit of looseness would be just right later.

From the corner of her eye, Su Qingyue opened her eyes and watched Xiao Yuchuan practice his sewing under the dim glow of the oil lamp. He threaded the needle and deftly slipped it in and out of the fabric.

His eyes, bright as the stars, were filled with concentration..
