Chapter 82
By nine o'clock in the evening, the guests returned to their lodgings.
Their accommodations were a large courtyard, with each pair of guests staying in a separate room.
Lin Yi brought Huo Mianmian back to their room.
The houses here were all tiled-roof cottages. It was drizzling lightly, and water dripped steadily from the eaves, creating a serene and poetic atmosphere.
Lin Yi pushed open the wooden door of the house.
Compared to the damp chill outside, the inside was dry and warm, with a stove in the living room bubbling away with tea.
Lin Yi led Huo Mianmian inside.
The warm yellow light inside made the room bright and cozy.
Lin Yi found two clean cups and poured some of the hot liquid from the kettle for himself and Huo Mianmian.
Once it cooled down a bit, Lin Yi took a sip from his cup.
He realized it was ginger tea, sweet and warm, perfect for such a rainy night.
After a few sips, he felt his body warming up.
Huo Mianmian also took a small sip from his cup, his eyes lighting up as he found it delicious, and then he drank several more sips.
"Ah, I want some too! I'm rushing to the kitchen to make some ginger tea!"
"But I'm in bed now. I don't want to get up and go to the kitchen."
"Order some takeout; a milk tea is just as good. In a roundabout way, I'll be having the same thing as them."
"Good idea!"
After drinking the hot tea, Lin Yi and Huo Mianmian felt warm and cozy, and they went into their bedroom.
The bedroom wasn't large but was very tidy.
Especially the bed, which had a dry and comfortable quilt that seemed to carry the scent of sunshine, likely because it had been aired out on a sunny day.
Lin Yi sat on the bed and felt how soft and comfortable it was, perfect for sleeping.
After checking, he extended his hand to Huo Mianmian: "Come, darling, time for bed."
Before Huo Mianmian could react, the comments exploded.
"Ahhhh, my husband actually invited me to sleep with him?"
"Yes, he even opened his arms to me!!"
"Husband, wait for me, I'm coming right into your embrace."
"Tonight, I'm sleeping with Lin Yi's wife, so happy."
In reality, it was Huo Mianmian, the little bundle of joy, who ran to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi hugged the little one, and immediately a sweet milky scent filled his senses.
Yes, his child was sweet and fragrant, like a glutinous rice ball, soft and cuddly, perfect for hugging!
Lin Yi hugged the child and rolled around on the bed happily.
Huo Mianmian laughed non-stop, his laughter soft and sweet.
"Ahhh, not sure who to envy right now."
"I'm lying alone in bed, shedding tears of envy."
"It's okay. Seeing my husband and son so happy makes me happy too!"
Soon, Lin Yi and Huo Mianmian got up to wash up in the bathroom, then prepared to change into their pajamas.
