Phi-Fic Chapter 21 Shian Society Death
Chapter 21 Shian Society Death
The wind outside was a bit chilly, and Shi An unconsciously leaned against Chu Ci.
Chu Ci felt a warm glow in her heart as she sensed Shi An's dependence on her.
Having a husband is so great, it's better than being alone.
Chu Ci took Shi An home, put him on the bed, and covered him with a blanket.
Seeing Shi An's drunken state, Chu Ci couldn't help but smile, finding him quite adorable.
After watching for a while, she brought a basin of water, soaked a towel, and gently wiped Shi'an's cheeks.
Shi An kept his eyes tightly closed, muttering some words.
Chu Ci leaned closer to listen and heard the boy repeatedly calling out "My Lady".
"I'm here, I'm here," Chu Ci said gently, stroking Shi An's hair. "Get some sleep and have sweet dreams."
Just as she was about to get up, she heard a noise behind her.
Looking back, Shi An had vomited.
Chu Ci was startled and quickly helped the man up to prevent him from choking.
Fortunately, Shi An didn't eat much that night, he just drank alcohol, so most of what he vomited was liquid.
Chu Ci fetched water to wash Shi An and changed the soiled blankets and sheets. She didn't return to her own room until midnight.
Perhaps because she was too tired today, Chu Ci soon fell asleep as well.
In her dream, she saw Shi An.
The man, dressed in white, walked towards her with a smile amidst a beautiful sea of flowers.
Chu Ci reached out, wanting to touch Shi An's face.
However, just as she was about to touch Shi An, the sea of flowers suddenly disappeared, replaced by darkness. No matter how she called out, Shi An would not appear again.
Chu Ci woke up with a start, sat up, and felt uneasy.
She didn't know what the dream meant, but she decided that no matter what happened, she would protect Shi An.
The next morning, Shi An woke up with a splitting headache.
He felt a pang of regret as he recalled what had happened at the restaurant the day before.
I shouldn't have drunk so much yesterday. Will Chu Ci think I'm being frivolous?
Shi An frowned, enduring the headache, and got out of bed to open the window.
After taking a few breaths of fresh air, he felt much better.
Shi An looked outside and saw Chu Ci washing clothes under the big tree in the courtyard.
Shi An was somewhat puzzled; what clothes was his wife washing so early in the morning...?
Wait a minute, that looks like his undershirt.
[Note: In matriarchal societies, a man's undergarment is similar to a woman's bodice and is considered a very private item.]
Shi An's face turned bright red, and she almost lost her balance.
Only then did he realize that his clothes had been changed, and that Chu Ci was washing the undershirt he had worn yesterday.
After a long pause, Shi An hurriedly put on her coat, opened the door, and rushed out to retrieve her undergarments.
Although I don't remember what happened yesterday, it's still too embarrassing to make my wife wash my underwear.
Shi An ran to the tree, snatched her undergarment from Chu Ci's hand, and ran back to the house with a blush on her face, almost tripping and falling on the way.
Chu Ci stared at Shi An's retreating figure with a bewildered expression, not understanding what was wrong with him.
Shi An hid in the house, her heart pounding for a long time.
He secretly resolved that he would never drink so much again, as it was causing too much trouble.
Just then, footsteps approached, and Chu Ci came in carrying a bowl of hangover soup.
"Here, drink this hangover soup."
Shi An didn't dare to look at Chu Ci. She lowered her head, took the soup, and drank it in small sips. Then she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Thank you, my wife."
"Don't drink so fast next time; you threw up when you got back yesterday."
Shi An was utterly shocked. "I...I threw up?!?"
Chu Ci nodded seriously, "Yes, if I hadn't helped you up in time, you would have choked."
Shi An felt as if struck by lightning; he had actually vomited in front of his wife!
Chu Ci actually witnessed such a pathetic scene, and he suddenly felt like dying.
Seeing that the person opposite him was completely petrified, Chu Ci knew he was embarrassed, so he didn't say anything and left with the empty bowl.
After she left, Shi An buried herself in the blankets and refused to get up again.
He actually vomited in front of his wife!!
What a shame! !
Shi An lay idly for a while, not moving at all like a salted fish.
However, he got up again soon after, because he was worried that Chu Ci hadn't eaten breakfast yet.
When Shi An finally dawdled into the kitchen, he found that breakfast was already prepared, with a bowl of fragrant vegetable porridge and an egg placed in the center of the table.
Chu Ci was nowhere to be seen; it seemed he had gone up the mountain. The cleaned sheets and quilts were drying in the yard, fluttering in the wind.
Shi An watched quietly for a while, and at that moment she suddenly missed the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu).
The person had just left.
Why do I miss you so much...?
When Chu Ci entered the mountain, he found Zhang Quan waiting at the foot of the mountain.
She frowned instinctively; was this woman going to cause trouble again?
"What are you here for?"
Zhang Quan scratched his head. "I've come to apologize to you."
"Oh?" Chu Ci asked, somewhat surprised. "What did you do wrong?"
"I...I was rude to you before. You're an expert. I was too arrogant."
Chu Ci observed his expression for a while, and when she was sure he wasn't lying, she nodded.
"I see."
Seeing that Chu Ci didn't make things difficult for him, Zhang Quan breathed a sigh of relief and took out a dagger from his pocket.
"This... consider it my apology."
Chu Ci looked at the dagger. It had a simple design, but the blade gleamed with a cold light, clearly indicating that it was extremely sharp.
"What do you mean by this?" Chu Ci asked.
"I know you like hunting, so I'm giving you this dagger as a small token of my appreciation."
Chu Ci hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the dagger.
"Okay, I accept your apology, but don't bother me again in the future."
"Definitely! I'll be going now." Zhang Quan said, then turned and left without daring to linger.
Chu Ci watched his retreating figure, blinked, and turned to walk into the forest.
She searched for prey in the mountains and forests, and with great agility, she caught several rabbits and squirrels in no time.
In the evening, she carried the rabbit home, but when she got home, she found that Shi An was not in the house.
Just as she was about to go out to look for someone, she saw Shi An walk in from outside, holding a bunch of wildflowers in her hand.
"My lady, you're back!" Shi An said with a smile. "Look, aren't the flowers I picked pretty?"
Chu Ci looked at the flower, a thought struck her, and she stepped forward to take it, saying, "It's very beautiful, you can put it in a vase."
Shi An hummed in agreement, looking quite embarrassed. "My lady, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I'll definitely be more careful in the future."
Chu Ci smiled, seemingly lost in thought, "It's alright, as long as you're alright."
Shi An's face fell. "I will never drink again."
This is incredibly embarrassing.
