Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 386 Tall and Capable Hunter vs. Lucky Beauty (21)

"Yes, she choked just now. She should be more careful when eating in the future, especially things that are round and slippery."

"Okay, thank you very much." Lin Xiujin bowed with his hands clasped in thanks.

"You're welcome." Shen Shuyi took Chu Yi's hand and was about to leave.

Lin Xiujin hurriedly said, "Miss Shen, we Lin family will definitely repay your great kindness. Please leave your address, so that my sister and I can visit you and your brother with fine gifts tomorrow."

Upon hearing his words, Chu Yi, who was standing next to Shen Shuyi, narrowed his eyes.

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, this is not my elder brother, but my husband."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the system's broadcast in her mind.

[Congratulations, host! Your target, Chu Yi, has reached a 90% affection level towards you. He is completely devoted to you and willing to die for you.]
Shen Shuyi secretly clicked her tongue in amazement; this man was truly generous.
She looked up at Chu Yi and saw that the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, which he couldn't suppress.

No, bro, you're still very handsome, but why do you look a bit like a loyal dog?
Lin Xiujin apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, it was my mistake."

Shen Shuyi waved her hand, "It's alright, saving your sister was just a favor, no need to be so polite."

This time, she really did grab Chu Yi's hand and leave.

Chu Yi grasped her hand in return.

It was late when they got home, but luckily they had bought a roast duck in the county town, so they just needed to steam some rice to eat.

After taking a shower, Shen Shuyi went to bed early, thinking about getting up early the next morning to get to work. She was really looking forward to the moment when she made the sugar!
Shen Shuyi was so excited she couldn't sleep. She turned around, hugged Chu Yi's neck, and said with a smile, "Husband, we'll be able to make a lot of money soon!"

“You work too hard hunting from dawn till dusk. If we had this source of income, our family would live a better life in the future, and you wouldn’t have to risk going up the mountain to hunt every day.”

Chu Yi's heart softened upon hearing this, and he recalled the young nobleman who had tried to curry favor with his wife by asking for her address earlier that day, and the way his infatuated gaze fell on her. He felt a pang of bitterness and pain in his heart.

Shuyi was truly wronged to marry him in this small mountain village.

He stroked Shen Shuyi's hair and then took out something he had prepared beforehand and handed it to her.

"My wife is the best."

"This is for you."

"What is it?" Shen Shuyi opened it and saw that it was a hairpin carved with white jade camellias.

Her eyes lit up. "So beautiful, I love it."

"Thank you, Brother Chu~"

Shen Shuyi hooked her arm around his neck and kissed him on the lips.

Then, deliberately glancing at him, she asked, "By the way, husband, where did you get your secret stash of money?"

Chu Yi blushed. "The money from selling the wild boar last time came back. I used some of it to buy this hairpin, and the rest of the money is here."

He handed the money bag to Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi didn't take it, saying, "Consider it pocket money for my husband."

"My husband is so thoughtful, this is a reward for you."

"I don't want money." Chu Yi only wanted to see her wearing beautiful clothes, adorned with exquisite hairpins, and using the finest handkerchiefs.

"Then what do you want?" Shen Shuyi gave him a coquettish look.

Chu Yi had broad shoulders and a strong, powerful back. His rough, calloused hands roamed around her waist.

"Yiyi, I only want you."

His aura was aggressive.

Shen Shuyi, like a captured animal, raised her snow-white neck, her soft body allowing the hunter to grasp her. "Hmph, you're just talking nonsense." Shen Shuyi pushed away his head that was buried in front of her.

Chu Yi pressed himself close to her body, his large hand sweeping over her bodice, and he lifted his head to peck her lips, coaxing softly, "Tomorrow I'll go up the mountain to dig up yellow clay and help you make sugar."

No longer giving her a chance to speak, Chu Yi pressed against her and sealed her lips with a kiss.

Shen Shuyi sensed his strong desire to control her. Her breathing became heavier and heavier. In the moonlight, the white bed seemed to be covered with a layer of watery luster.
By the moonlight streaming through the window, Chu Yi could see the person in front of him without any obstruction—her snow-white skin and swaying waist.
……

……

Shen Shuyi fell asleep at some point. She had a dream in which she was on a small boat on the river. The boat was gently swaying on the waves when suddenly it was violently struck by a thunderstorm and crashed to the shore.

Then, she was tossed about in the boundless waves.
……

When Shen Shuyi woke up early in the morning, she opened her eyes and saw Chu Yi, a tall man, leaning over her, holding bottles and jars in his hands.

Seeing that she was awake, the man felt a little guilty. "Wife, let me apply the medicine for you."

Shen Shuyi glared at him, "What were you doing last night?"

Chu Yi had nothing to say. As a hunter, he had plenty of patience when ambushing prey in the forest, and he wouldn't budge even when bitten by mosquitoes.

But when he met his beloved Miss Shen, he lost all reason.

Only when passion takes over, do we charge recklessly.
Chu Yi scooped up some ointment and gently applied it under his wife's reproachful gaze. "It'll be better soon. I made you an egg pancake and some pumpkin porridge."

Shen Shuyi's expression softened slightly, but she quickly felt his mischievous fingers. She grabbed the man's wrist, "Hurry up!"

"Be good, it'll be over soon." Chu Yi's fingers were calloused from years of hunting, and even with the gentlest touch, one could still feel the calluses.

Fortunately, he was still thinking about his wife not having eaten breakfast yet, so he solemnly finished applying the ointment and then picked her up to wash up.

Shen Shuyi was thinking about making white sugar with yellow mud water, so she quickly finished her breakfast and then played in the mud in the yard.

Chu Yi went to the back mountain and dug up a large pile of yellow clay. Shen Shuyi taught him to grind the clumps of yellow clay into powder, add water, and stir it into mud.

Shen Shuyi started a fire in the kitchen. After Chu Yi mixed the yellow clay, he went in to help her add firewood. He watched curiously as she poured brown sugar into a large pot to boil. The heat was crucial when the brown sugar was cooked until it became thick and sticky. If it turned into caramel, it would be ruined.

"My lord, please help me fill the cleaned earthenware funnel with straw."

The rest is up to her; after all, with the lucky charm's blessing, her sugar-making will be even more successful.

Chu Yi stood aside, watching her pour the thickened syrup into a funnel, and then drizzle the stirred yellow mud water little by little onto the solidified brown sugar syrup.

"Wife, do you think you can get the frosting by doing this?"

Shen Shuyi nodded, "Yes, but this is very physically demanding; you have to stir it continuously for half an hour."

"Then I'll watch and learn so I can help you." Chu Yi watched even more intently, occasionally asking her what she needed to pay attention to during the process.

The two stared intently at the funnel filled with muddy water, and only slowly did they hear the dripping sound of water.

Shen Shuyi gripped Chu Yi's hand tightly as they watched the drops of black liquid fall into the wooden basin.

The water droplets sped up, and the sugar paste emerged from the water. Slowly, they saw that the sugar paste, which had been reddish-brown, turned pure white, standing out vividly in the muddy soup.

The two watched as the muddy water in the funnel disappeared, revealing pure white sugar, as clear and bright as sand and snow.

"Husband, we're done!" Shen Shuyi held Chu Yi's hand tightly, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him hard on the cheek.

"Shuyi is amazing! She even came up with such a brilliant method and made it work." Chu Yi felt that his wife was extraordinary; could she be a fairy descended from heaven?
Shen Shuyi slightly raised her chin, "Please, my husband, try the taste of white sugar."

Chu Yi washed his hands, dipped them in the sugar, and put them in his mouth. He immediately showed surprise, "It's very sweet, even smoother than brown sugar or black sugar."

“Of course, this is white sugar that costs one tael of silver per tael of sugar.” Shen Shuyi looked at Chu Yi with a charming smile.
