The next day, I lingered in bed again. Last night, Shen Yulin seemed particularly fierce and not gentle at all. When I woke up, I felt completely unable to move my lower body. I stared blankly at the ceiling, and Shen Yulin was nowhere to be found by my side. My stomach growled with hunger, so I slowly moved my body, supporting myself against the wall as I made my way to the bathroom to wash up. After washing up and coming out, Shen Yulin had returned. He smiled when he saw I was awake and said, "You must be hungry." I nodded. "Change your clothes; I'll take you out to eat. Aunt Guo saved a breakfast for you."
As we stepped into the small hall outside the room, I saw a group of people sitting at the dining table having breakfast. I found a corner seat and sat down. "I'll go get your breakfast," Shen Yulin said as he quickly walked into the kitchen. In no time, he came back with a tray of food in his hands, followed by Meili, who for some reason had a flushed face, with a noticeable red mark on her neck. My gaze shifted between the two of them, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. At that moment, Shen Yulin placed the tray in front of me and smiled, "Go ahead and eat; these are your favorite soup dumplings." I looked down at the tray and noticed that besides the soup dumplings, there was also a bowl of porridge and some side dishes—all of which were my favorites. I quietly ate my breakfast without saying a word. Shen Yulin sat beside me, occasionally picking food for me with his chopsticks, his eyes filled with tenderness and care.
Meili sat across from me with her breakfast, and everyone at the table exchanged glances when they saw her come out of the kitchen with Shen Yulin. Meili flirtatiously tossed glances at him while eating. "Hey there, are you going skiing today?" Shen Yulin ignored her. Undeterred, Meili continued, "Are you going to soak in the hot springs today?" Her vague words led everyone to imagine various scenarios. Unable to bear it any longer, I picked up a soup dumpling and held it up to Shen Yulin's mouth. "Honey, you should try this too. Aunt Guo's cooking is really good!" Shen Yulin took a bite of the soup dumpling and then looked at me with a smirk that resembled a sly fox. "Oh, little girl, you're up?" Aunt Guo came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, and looked at me lovingly. "Your partner came to the kitchen early this morning to ask me to save breakfast for you." The others at the table finally reacted and whispered among themselves, "So they are a couple? That woman isn't trying to interfere, is she?" "It's possible; just look at those alluring eyes."
Upon hearing this, Meili's face turned red and pale; she quickly finished her breakfast and got up to return to her room.
After breakfast, Shen Yulin took me out for a walk. We strolled along a path as the morning sun warmed us pleasantly. Shen Yulin gently took my hand, causing my heart to race involuntarily. "Are you still feeling unwell? I'm sorry if I was too harsh," he suddenly said. I looked up at him in embarrassment and annoyance, covering his mouth with my hands. "Don't say that; we're outside!" Shen Yulin caught my hands and kissed them on his lips. "I want to tie you up in our room every day."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" I stomped my foot in anger, breaking free from his grasp as I walked ahead quickly.
We continued along the winding path lined with quaint shops on either side. Entering one shop after another filled with an array of handicrafts was overwhelming yet exciting. There were exquisitely woven bamboo baskets where each piece of bamboo was carefully selected and polished; colorful folding fans adorned with traditional patterns like peonies and phoenixes were vividly painted; there were also crystal-clear ice sculptures that were intricately carved—truly masterpieces.
I eagerly moved between stalls selecting souvenirs while chatting with shopkeepers about each item's story and unique crafting techniques. The shopkeepers warmly shared their knowledge while Shen Yulin quietly accompanied me, his gaze filled with endless tenderness and affection.
Before long, Shen Yulin's hands were filled with various gifts yet he felt deeply satisfied inside. After bringing our purchases back to our lodging for a short rest, Shen Yulin took my hand again and led me toward another side of the inn.
On that side was a river crossed by several ancient stone bridges; at this time of day, there weren't many people on the bridge. We stood there gazing into the distance while soaking in the tranquility and beauty around us. The water flowed gently beneath us; last night's light snow had left small ice crystals drifting downstream toward the horizon. A gentle breeze swept by carrying fresh scents that lifted our spirits immensely.
