1645 Lose Sleep Over Missing Me

“It’s fine. This is good enough.” Kong Ming suddenly smiled at her while he said this.

Bao Yu was surprised. By the time she processed what had happened, Kong Ming had already re-entered the room with the new clothes.

“You’re amazing, Bao Yu. You’ve even made clothes for him,” Yaoyao said teasingly. “What I’m curious about is, how did you know his size?”

Bao Yu was used to her behavior by now and was not afraid of any teasing. She replied honestly, “I’ve washed his clothes for him before and carried him before. I estimated his size during those times and managed to get a good grasp on it.”

“You’ve carried him before?” Yaoyao looked at her in astonishment.

Bao Yu coughed lightly and explained, “When he was almost sold off to the male brothel, he passed out due to hunger. He was so small and skinny, and I thought he was younger than I am, so I carried him.”

Yaoyao laughed out loud. “Oh my, Bao Yu. This is a new side of you that I’m seeing!”

Bao Yu’s shoulders sagged. “Stop making fun of me, Big Sis Yaoyao.”

“I…I’m not making fun of you.” Yaoyao stopped laughing and said seriously, “I just think that you are someone who has her own opinions and a unique perspective. This boy, Kong Ming, might look skinny and weak, but he’s not stupid. Take good care of him and he will grow up big and strong. It’s nice for your family to have an adopted son-in-law like him.”

Bao Yu smiled widely. “Do you really think it’s a good idea?”

“Of course. Getting an adopted son-in-law for a husband is much better than being married into another family. Unfortunately for me, Big Brother Beitang is the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom. Otherwise, I would have gotten him to become the royal family’s son-in-law. That way, I would not need to leave my parents’ side,” Yaoyao said somewhat wistfully.

Bao Yu said consolingly, “The most important thing is that person’s personality. Everything will be fine if he is a good person.”

Yaoyao nodded. “You’re right.”

The day passed very quickly.

Just as Beitang You had said, he did not come to North Garden to see Yaoyao that night.

Yaoyao could not bear to leave at the thought of them journeying back to Great Shang the next day. However, it would not be long before she would be able to spend the rest of her life with Beitang You, and this thought helped her feel better about the whole situation.

Big Brother Beitang would come to Great Shang to see her when she came of age.

She hid under the covers and slept exceptionally well that night.

The next day.

Beitang You postponed the imperial court’s morning session and came to North Garden to see Long Yin and the others out of the city.

Yaoyao blinked when she saw the dark circles under his eyes. “Why are there dark rings under your eyes? Didn’t you sleep last night?”

Beitang You sighed in his heart when he saw the energetic girl.

That girl must have had a good night’s rest and did not lose any sleep over the fact that they were about to be separated.

He looked at her unhappily at the thought of this.

“You seemed to have slept well.”

Yaoyao may be slow, but even she could tell the unhappiness in his tone and she could not help chuckling. She poked him in the arm. “You didn’t lose sleep over missing me, did you?”

“What do you think?” Beitang You grabbed her hand and asked with a raised eyebrow.

Yaoyao bit her lip. “What are you going to do during the time I’m away from here?”

Beitang You said nothing, but turned to Chen Jin and instructed, “Bring it over.”

“Yes, Master,” Chen Jin replied and brought forward a birdcage.

Yaoyao was astonished to see two grey pigeons jumping around inside the cage. “Pigeons?” She paused and later said jokingly, “You aren’t giving them to me to be grilled and eaten on my way home, are you?”

The corner of Beitang You’s eyes twitched and he raised his hand to knock her on the head. He warned, “These pigeons are homing pigeons. We can use them to write letters to each other. Don’t you dare lose them.”
