Chapter 307: Chapter 305: Marshmallow

Nian Shutong’s drunkenness was of the quiet variety; she didn’t make a fuss or a noise,

she just slept peacefully.

The next morning, around five o’clock, Nian Shutong awoke.

Her consciousness began to gather, with no gaps in memory; what she said and what she did yesterday were all clear in her mind.

It seemed that aside from teasing Fu Yunhe a little, she had been rather well-behaved.

However, this incident also reminded Nian Shutong that she really needed to work on her alcohol tolerance.

Sitting up in bed, Nian Shutong first thanked Daodao and told him to go back to rest.

Then she turned her gaze toward the door, where Fu Yunhe had been sitting all along, never having left even for a moment.

Was he really watching her with his eyes shut?

Or was she certain he wasn’t asleep?

"I didn’t fall asleep."

Fu Yunhe was indeed awake; he quickly sensed Nian Shutong’s gaze and opened with these words.

When he opened his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the smirk that Nian Shutong was just repressing.

"Awake? Do you want some water?"

Fu Yunhe, who had not slept the entire night, looked quite pale and even sounded out of breath speaking.

Nian Shutong got out of bed and walked to the door, taking one of Fu Yunhe’s hands to check his pulse.

"Thank you, but next time you need to pay attention to your own health."

"Don’t just think I slept soundly— you definitely didn’t."

Nian Shutong felt that there wasn’t anything too concerning as her recent medicinal baths were quite effective.

Nevertheless, she went ahead and did some adjustments.

Holding onto Fu Yunhe’s wrist, Nian Shutong said, "Don’t move or resist."

As she spoke, Fu Yunhe felt a familiar and comforting warmth flowing through his whole body.

He knew this was Nian Shutong rebalancing his body and relieving fatigue.

"Next time I’ll be the one watching over you—how can I trust anyone else around here with that?"

Fu Yunhe’s words caused a small smile to appear on Nian Shutong’s lips as she nodded in agreement, "That’s true, I appreciate your hard work."

Fu Yunhe had already started feeling much better, and he ventured cautiously, "Next time, maybe we won’t drink?"

"We’ll see."

With that ’we’ll see,’ Fu Yunhe knew the occurrence was bound to repeat.

Nian Shutong thought to herself that she didn’t have many hobbies, so why should she give this one up?

But next time, she reckoned she’d know her limits when drinking, unlike this time.

It appeared she could secretly work on her tolerance.

Finally, Nian Shutong released his hand and asked Fu Yunhe, "Are you hungry?"

Not initially feeling all that hungry, Fu Yunhe played along and said, "Yes, I’m starving."

Conveniently, his stomach growled right on cue.

Nian Shutong glanced at his stomach and remarked, "You’re that hungry?"

"Come on, let’s make something to eat."

Fu Yunhe stood up, gave a look at his belly, and thought to himself, you’re really in sync with the act.

The two headed to the kitchen, where Mr. Fan hadn’t gotten up yet, so there was no fire started.

Fu Yunhe took charge of cooking, boiling two bowls of noodles.

There was ready-made broth and even the noodles were pre-made; he added a few slices of stewed beef, and just like that, a bowl of fragrant beef noodles was prepared.

After both had eaten their fill, just as they were about to get up, they saw Ha Ha standing outside the kitchen.

Ha Ha was on his way to work, as he always did his work first and then came back for a meal.

He was very puzzled and asked, "Is there another meal at this time?"

After asking, Ha Ha pouted, eyes full of regret, and said, "Ha Ha missed so many meals."

Nian Shutong wanted to laugh, but she held back and explained to Ha Ha, "Ha Ha, there isn’t a meal at this time, but I was hungry last night after drinking, so I ate a little."

"Oh————"

Ha Ha nodded in understanding, and as he was about to start working, he heard Nian Shutong call him again.

"Ha Ha, if you’re hungry, have some food first to fill your stomach, don’t go to work on an empty stomach."

After saying that, Nian Shutong cut a big piece of beef and handed it to Ha Ha.

Ha Ha happily accepted it, giving Nian Shutong a simple, heartfelt smile.

"Good people are really nice, Ha Ha isn’t hungry, just craving."

After saying that, Ha Ha walked away with the beef jerky, heading to the mountain to continue clearing the fields.

"I’m done for, I always feel like I’ve started a new habit for Ha Ha."

"Don’t doubt it, you definitely have."

Fu Yunhe’s words just earned him a rolling eye from Nian Shutong.

It wasn’t long before Mr. Fan came out and lamented about waking up late when he saw the two of them eating noodles.

"It’s not late."

After Nian Shutong finished speaking, Mr. Fan started busily preparing breakfast.

She took Fu Yunhe with her to do some morning exercise, practicing boxing.

Now, Fu Yunhe had successfully climbed to the position of lead workout instructor, with the children following his moves.

Every day, boxing practice was the moment Fu Yunhe looked forward to the least; although he knew it was really good for his body, he just didn’t want to do it.

The children were now performing tiger fist with the proper form and had mastered the basic techniques.

Nian Shutong wasn’t in a hurry to teach the next set; at the very least, they needed to turn this set of moves into muscle memory first.

After boxing practice was over, the children went to the classroom for morning reading, and Fu Yunhe finally finished the most painful part of his day, drenched in a fine sweat.

Seeing Fu Yunhe ready to go back and clean up, Nian Shutong sparked with interest and said, "Xiao He did a good job, keep up the effort."

Fu Yunhe managed a forced and unsightly smile back at Nian Shutong.

When the children finished their morning reading, Nian Shutong was fiddling with a machine she had prepared yesterday but hadn’t used because she was drunk.

"Come over, come over, line up, one each, take it home first, only after you finish your breakfast can you eat it."

The children had no idea what Nian Shutong was distributing, but they obediently lined up.

Standing at the front, Nian Shutong added some white crystals into the machine and pressed a certain button, setting it into motion.

Following a few "Whirring" sounds, threads began to spray out of the center of the machine.

Nian Shutong took a thin stick and started swirling it around, making rounds around the machine.

The children could only watch as many threads wrapped around the stick, growing larger and larger.

After the first cotton candy was made, Nian Shutong gave it to the first child in line, reminding, "Eat it after your meal, and don’t let it get wet."

"We know, Boss. Thank you, Boss."

The child politely took the cotton candy, walking carefully as if to avoid letting the wind blow it away or accidentally dropping it on the ground, slowly heading back home.

Eventually, every child received a cotton candy, and by the end of the line, Dou Dou was the last child.

Because behind Dou Dou were Ji Sisi, along with Rubble and Ha Ha Ha.

Of course, Elder Hua could not be forgotten either.

These few people were really even more eager than the little kids.

Dou Dou took his cotton candy and stood to the side waiting for his mother; he wanted to store the cotton candy at home with her, to eat after the meal, following Auntie’s instruction.

After everyone had their cotton candies, Nian Shutong made one for herself and decided to make one for Fu Yunhe too.

As she was preparing to go have breakfast, Fu Yunhe stood up somewhat excitedly.

"Nian Shutong, someone is looking for you!"
