She didn’t expect that when they went back,

her grandmother had already prepared the hot water.

Bottles of hot water were neatly lined up in the kitchen.

Xia Yangyang took out the wooden tub for bathing.

The tub was very clean, the top layer was waxed, and it looked brand new.

But when Xia Yangyang started pouring the water into it, bottle by bottle, Gu Qichen couldn’t help but frown, “Are we really going to bathe in here?” Xia Yangyang nodded seriously, “Haven’t you watched ancient dramas? In those dramas, concubines bathe in wooden tubs. I will sprinkle some dried flower petals in there later – it’s like being a queen. How about that?” “And how were the emperors treated? Could they bathe with whoever concubines they fancied?”

When Xia Yangyang lifted her head, she saw Gu Qichen’s mischievous eyes.

She knew what he was about to say.

Xia Yangyang made a stopping gesture with her hand: “Stop dreaming, you’re not an emperor.”

After diligent arrangements, Xia Yangyang clapped her hands satisfactorily: “I’ll wait for you in the yard, enjoy it.”

Before Gu Qichen could say anything, Xia Yangyang slipped away.

If she did not leave quickly, Xia Yangyang was afraid she wouldn’t be able to get out the whole night.

The weather was excellent that day.

There was no moon, but the sky was filled with stars.

An old locust tree lay horizontally in the yard.

It was struck down by lightning not long ago. The branches and leaves had been chopped off, only leaving the robust trunk lying there. There was no time to clean up yet.

Xia Yangyang sat on the old locust tree, resting her cheek on her hand, staring into the starry sky.

The nights in the countryside were tranquil and dreamy.

The sky was dark blue, like the color in the depths of a peacock’s tail.

Xia Yangyang was daydreaming, remembering her mom once said that the stars in the sky were the eyes of the deceased.

Even if they were no longer with those they loved most, they would still be watching from above.

Xia Yangyang had grown up and knew this was just a beautiful fairy tale.

But she preferred to believe it was true.

This way, her mother was watching her from the sky.

Xia Yangyang suddenly felt sentimental.

Yes, she missed her mother.

To stop herself from overthinking, Xia Yangyang decided to find something to do.

She searched around in the yard.

Surprisingly, she found some sweet potatoes her grandmother had just dug up.

Xia Yangyang had a sudden whim.

She set up a small fire pit in the yard with small branches.

She buried the sweet potatoes inside.

She got several corn cobs and taro from the kitchen and threw them into the fire pit as well.

She then began to roast the fire.

When Gu Qichen came out of the house after his bath,

he saw Xia Yangyang pulling out some charred stuff from the fire.

Xia Yangyang spotted Gu Qichen and promptly waved at him excitedly, “Come over here, I have something cool to show you.”

Gu Qichen walked over with slightly furrowed brows, “What are you doing?” Xia Yangyang, with a smile across her face, took a sweet potato. It was so hot that she kept touching her ears, blowing on it for a while before breaking it open.

The inside revealed the golden flesh of the sweet potato, accompanied by an appealing smoky smell that almost made Xia Yangyang drool.

Xia Yangyang ripped it in half and handed it to Gu Qichen, “Roasted sweet potato. I bet you’ve never had it before. It was my favorite thing when I was a kid.”

Gu Qichen looked at the charred skin, frowning slightly, and didn’t reach out to take it, “Can you eat this?”

The next second, the half sweet potato was shoved into his hand, and her petite dirty hand pulled him into the freshly changed clothes and sat him on the trunk.

Gu Qichen said, “Hey, I just took a bath.”

Xia Yangyang casually replied, “Honey, it’s time to cure your obsession with cleanliness. After eating this sweet potato, I think you’ll be cured. Just give it a try, take a bite, I guarantee you won’t find it dirty..”
