In truth, Xiao Liulang disliked New Year's Eve, because every New Year's Eve, he would always dream of boundless fire.
He tried not to fall asleep. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, he could strongly feel the despair within the sea of flames.
"Xiao Liulang, first of all, we are just a nominal married couple! Don’t try to do anything to me!" Gu Jiao said solemnly.
"Who's going to do anything to you?" Xiao Liulang turned his head away fretfully.
Gu Jiao brought a bowl of water and said, "Who can guarantee that? You men say one thing with your mouths, but do another thing behind people’s backs! In order to prevent you from doing bad things, I'll put a bowl of water here. If you dare to crawl over this bowl of water in the middle of the night, knocking it over, you are a beast!"
"Fine, if I come over there, I'm a beast!"
How could he possibly go there?
He never had the slightest idea about this woman!
When he woke up the next day, he looked complacently at the blanked Gu Jiao, as if to say, how about it? I'm just not interested in you, am I?
Who knew instead of being thankful, Gu Jiao’s trembling hand would land a slap on his face, "You’re not even as good as a beast!"
Xiao Liulang woke up with a start! [T/N: Lmao, his nightmare...]
He sat up then found that this wasn’t his own room. There were some crooked writings of blessing affixed to the walls and some paper-cutting decorations too ugly to look straight at.
They were all the masterpieces of the elderly woman and Gu Xiaoshun.
Xiao Liulang finally remembered where this was. He shifted his gaze to his side.
Gu Jiao was lying on his side and sleeping facing him. Her cheeks which now had some baby fats looked a bit chubby and her little mouth was pouting.
She had been holding his hand the whole night.
Xiao Liulang suddenly thought of that strange beast dream. His handsome little brows frowned and he coldly brushed away Gu Jiao's hand!
Being rejected in her sleep, Gu Jiao groaned discontentedly and grabbed his hand again.
Xiao Liulang brushed her hand away one more time, but it was futile as she still grabbed his hand again.
He didn’t know just how many times he struggled like that. In the end, he felt exhausted and fell asleep.
From the beginning till dawn, that nightmare about boundless fire didn't appear.
…...
Feng Lin stayed in Qingquan village for three days, thus Xiao Liulang also crashed into Gu Jiao’s room and slept together with her for three nights. Except for the first night Gu Jiao just held his hand, the following nights, she utilized both her hands and feet. Xiao Liulang would always wake up finding both of them wrapped together in the same quilt.
Xiao Liulang, short of breath, would ask her, "You... Are you doing it on purpose?"
"Hm?" But Gu Jiao would only look at him blankly.
For a moment, Xiao Liulang wasn’t sure who was sleeping dishonestly in the end. Perhaps it was actually him who abducted people into his quilt…
…...
Today, the stitches on Xiao Liulang had to be removed. In fact, Gu Jiao could also do it at home, but then she would be exposed. Moreover, they already ran out of medicinal ingredients for the elderly woman’s traditional medicine. It was time to buy new ones.
Don’t look at the fact that that prescription was only a supplementary treatment. With it, the curative effect became much better.
After breakfast, Gu Jiao, Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin took Second Uncle Luo's oxcart to the Rejuvenation Hall in town.
The staff had all returned home for the New Year, and there were only Second Owner, Shopkeeper Wang and the old physician, who had been pretending to be a famous physician for Xiao Liulang, in the Rejuvenation Hall at present.
The three people specially left their homes and came here in order to see what the effect would be after the stitches were removed.
Forget about them, even Gu Jiao herself was looking forward to it.
She made sure there were not a single mistake in the surgery, but how well he would recover depended on the final result.
The sutures were removed by the old physician. This bit of skill, he still had.
After it was removed, everyone's eyes tacitly fell on Xiao Liulang.
There were many things involved in this surgery. For instance, Second Owner still hadn’t given up the idea of treating the little marquis, even though he was scolded by his father when he returned to the capital for the New Year.
Shopkeeper Wang, as a man of conscience, was also looking forward to the success of this surgery. However, at the same time, he also hoped that the surgery would fail. After all, the prerequisite of being a man of conscience was that he must be a person first. When he died, he was just a ghost then.
And if they were to treat the little marquis, he would certainly die!
Xiao Liulang, sitting on the chair, slowly moved his foot, which had been freed from the stitches, to the ground. His crutch was just by his side, but he didn't reach for it.
He stood up holding the chair, first using his uninjured left foot. When he took the first step with his right foot, he felt that his foot was limp, and his whole person fell forward!
Gu Jiao swiftly went to support him, hugging him in her arms.
They were a young married couple, so others didn't say anything, but Xiao Liulang's ears were burning.
Gu Jiao didn't notice his abnormality. All her attention was on his ankle.
"Are you all right?" She asked, staring at his ankle.
Xiao Liulang shook his head and said, "I’m fine."
He had been injured for half a year now. For that long, he was just walking on a crutch, putting as little force as possible on his right foot. After all, every time he put strength to it, he would feel a heart-wrenching pain.
Just now, even though he was still unable to stand, it didn't seem to hurt anymore.
Xiao Liulang took the crutch and tried to take another step to make sure it really didn't hurt anymore.
He had always been expressionless all the time, but this time he had a little stupefied look on his face, as if he didn't expect that he could really be healed to this extent.
He thought he would be a lame for the rest of his life, always accompanied by that pain.
"Brother Xiao, in the end, are you healed or not ah!?" Feng Lin asked anxiously.
"I don’t feel the pain any more, I just don’t have the strength." Xiao Liulang said.
Feng Lin couldn't help asking, "That... Is that really good? Why don’t you have strength?"
The old physician explained slowly, "Young Gentleman Feng, do not worry. For Young Gentleman Xiao to not feel the pain anymore, it means that the surgery is very successful. But after all, he has been injured for a long time. Qi and blood stasis, muscle and bone weakness, ankle stiffness, all these still need careful recuperation and hard training."
"Can he still be the same as before?" Feng Lin asked worriedly.
The old physician looked at Gu Jiao unobtrusively and said with a smile, "So long as Young Gentleman Xiao is not afraid of hard work."

Everyone But Me Is Reborn
Her father is a coward and senselessly filial. Her mother is weak and gullible. Her elder brother is a wastrel.
When she married into the Wangfu, she suffered and was coldly treated. And by the time she was in labour, she was fated to die with the unborn child in her belly.
This was supposed to be Ning Nuan's life.
However this time, everyone but her is reborn.
Ning Nuan is at a loss. She felt that her dad has suddenly become the pillar of the family, her mother’s temper became fierce, and even her elder brother, who would only walk the dogs and play with birds all day, has begun picking up books and reading them carefully.
There is also that juvenile that shows up at the wall of her courtyard everyday, calling her “Ah Nuan, Ah Nuan” with an honest face.
