Feng Lihen quickly added firewood.
He was actually staring at a woman, completely absorbed.
This realization made him feel very uncomfortable.
Feng Lihen lowered his head, no longer daring to look at Bei Yutang.
When Daixiang arrived in the kitchen, she saw Bei Yutang quickly rolling out dough, while the other person was intently watching the fire.
Neither of them spoke; the kitchen was eerily quiet, yet there was no awkwardness.
Daixiang’s appearance broke the previous atmosphere.
“Sister Yutang, you’re awake! That’s wonderful!”
After what happened last time, she easily accepted Bei Yutang’s unconsciousness this time. However, this time, another person was also unconscious with her, namely the man in front of her.
However, compared to Sister Yutang’s unconsciousness, the man’s unconsciousness was entirely due to his injuries.
Now, seeing the two people who had been unconscious for a long time, waking up at the same time and being in the kitchen together, made Daixiang’s mind wander for a moment.
However, noticing the complete lack of eye contact between them, her secret speculation vanished.
“Sister Yutang, let me help you.” Daixiang said.
She rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands, and came over.
“No need. It’s almost done.”
Xiao Zimo stepped out of his room and heard noises coming from the kitchen. He faintly heard his mother’s voice. The excited little boy ran over happily.
Upon seeing the familiar figure in the kitchen, Xiao Zimo excitedly rushed in, calling out in his childish voice, “Mom!”
Bei Yutang’s hands were covered in flour, making it impossible for her to pick up the little guy, so she let him hug her legs.
The little guy tilted his head up, his bright black eyes blinking as he looked at her.
“Mom, Mo’er missed you.”
Bei Yutang knelt down and kissed his soft, white cheek: “Mom missed Mo’er too.”
Daixiang watched the interaction between the mother and son, already used to it.
However, it was only at times like this that the young master showed the typical childlike behavior. He usually had a serious expression on his face, especially when Sister Yutang was asleep; he was even more unsmiling.
Sometimes, she would forget his age and treat him like an adult.
“Alright, go wash up. Breakfast will be ready soon.”
Xiao Zimo nodded.
Watching the interaction between the mother and son, Feng Lihen belatedly realized that the woman before him was already married. For some reason, he felt a faint sense of loss.
Xiao Zimo turned around and glanced at Feng Lihen behind the stove.
“You’re awake?”
Feng Lihen looked at the little guy. Judging from his words, the little guy had completely ignored his presence from beginning to end.
“Yes.” Feng Lihen replied indifferently.
He thought that he would ask something, but the little guy simply left.
Feng Lihen stood there, watching the little figure’s departing back, feeling a sense of familiarity, as if he’d seen it somewhere before. When his gaze turned and fell upon Bei Yutang below the stove, he finally understood.
The little one looked very much like her mother; even his back view was similar.
Recalling the little one’s appearance just now, his expression was remarkably similar to his mother’s.
*****
The author has something to say:
Mo Ye understands the readers’ eagerness to see Bei Yutang and Feng Lihen reunite, but the [rules of the world] and the [order of the system] are not so easily broken or escaped.
Otherwise, why has Ming never seen any of it?
If Mo Ye simply wrote that they recognized each other at a glance, it would be too unreliable and unreasonable.
Only after meeting certain conditions can Feng Lihen and Bei Yutang hope to break the [rules of the world] and the [order of the system].
Only then will they recognize each other.
Mo Ye assures you, even if they don’t recognize each other, there will be absolutely no tragic elements, no melodramatic misidentification. Even if there are, well… hehe. [It’s a secret. No more spoilers.]

I will really appreciate it. ♥️♥️♥️

When he took two steps back from her I was like ‘ah as expected, they won’t recognise eshu other now’…
Though I understand the author’s view, I still can’t wait for it to happen soon!!!
Thank you for the chapters Orthez 🤍
