When Duan Changchuan woke up, it was already evening.

The chirping of birds could be heard outside. The sky seemed to have cleared up. The setting sun cast an orange-yellow light into the room, leaving a trace on the bed.

He moved his body … turned his head and found Bai Su was still asleep.

Alpha looked beautiful when she was asleep. Her long hair was scattered on the bed. When her eyes were closed, she looked less domineering than usual. Her whole person was beautiful and gentle.

He couldn’t help but stretch his neck and gently kiss the tip of her nose.

He liked her so much …

He couldn’t hold back … even just looking at her like this made his heart pound.

The teenager blinked and couldn’t help but nuzzle against Alpha’s body. He wished he could wrap himself up and stuff himself into the other party’s arms.

After lying down for a while, he couldn’t help but look up.

[Why hasn’t she woken up yet …]

Well … Bai Su didn’t do anything too excessive to him just now. She just kissed his lips and exchanged pheromones with him.

Later, she kissed the gland on the back of his neck, took off his clothes, and then hugged him and fell asleep.

Cough …

That’s right, she fell asleep.

After taking off all his clothes …

She fell asleep.

Although he remembered a lot now and finally had the feeling “that wasn’t a dream” … but this afternoon, things seemed to have been on the brink, right? Moreover, he was the one who initiated it. How did this person manage to undress him completely and then fall asleep hugging him like that?

Duan Changchuan curiously lifted the quilt. He wanted to see … Um, a certain part of her body.

The young man thought so, licked his lips … and reached out a hand, sneakily reaching down.

[Cough, I will touch a little … just a little, I won’t do anything else.]

[Who asked her to be so suspicious …]

However, the naughty hand hesitated for a long time at a distance of one centimeter and didn’t press down …

Hesitation and indecision…

A battle raged in his mind.

Suddenly, he was caught off guard and his wrist was directly grabbed.

Instantly, the fragrance of rouge and peony rushed over …

By the time he reacted, the other party had firmly pinned both his arms to his ears and her whole body was on top of him.

“What naughty things were you trying to do while I was asleep, hmm?” Alpha’s voice was full of laughter above his head.

The young man immediately blushed and whispered, “I wasn’t.”

The woman smiled at him. Only when he looked at her at such a close distance did he realize her eyelashes were very long and curly. Coupled with the fact that she had just woken up, she exuded a lazy sexiness.

Duan Changchuan suddenly remembered what Bai Su said in the afternoon, “I have someone I like, but that person has always been you.”

She was such a beautiful and nice sister, yet she said she had always liked him …

The young man blinked shyly and lowered his gaze in embarrassment.

Bai Su smiled and let him go. She leaned over and kissed his chin gently, “Are you so curious about your husband?”

“Uh … no …” The young man’s voice trembled as he spoke. His mouth was both soft yet firm.

Alpha took his hand and slowly reached down into the quilt.

“Be good, I will show you.”

–

They messed around on the bed for a while before getting up.

Because Chang Le suddenly knocked on the door and happily called out, “Your Majesty, Your Highness, are you awake? Quickly come out and see, there is a beautiful rainbow on our Ming Sheng Hall roof! Many people are kneeling, saying it is an auspicious sign from the heavens for our Datong!”

They looked at each other for a moment, then put on their clothes and went out together.

Because the rainbow was on the roof of the Ming Sheng Hall, they had to go from the backyard to the main hall in the front yard, then down the high stone steps before finally seeing the rainbow that everyone was talking about.

The people from various palaces had received the news, and the crowd was gathering here.

When they saw the Emperor and the Empress, they hurriedly knelt together, “Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Highness.”

The young man responded with “Please rise” and then he turned around excitedly.

Sure enough, he saw the ivory-white stone steps extending upwards. A seven-colored rainbow erected from the right side of the gold-plated roof of the emperor’s sleeping quarters, all the way up and disappeared into the clouds.

The light of the sunset fell on the open-mouthed dragon head on the eaves, as if it was receiving all the blessing from the heavens through the rainbow.

Even Duan Changchuan, who had already recalled most of his experiences from the modern era, couldn’t help but smile happily.

“That’s great, Bai Su! This is a good sign!” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Bai Su.

Although he knew the principle of the rainbow, that it was just a natural physical phenomenon, and was just a refraction between the light and the mist in the air, but being in such a moment where “his partner was about to leave to fight the pandemic, and he was pregnant with a little prince with an uncertain future”, it was like being fed a reassuring pill. It always felt like, even Heaven was on their side. They had nothing to fear.

So the moment he saw the rainbow, he almost immediately looked at Alpha, who was standing side by side. And Alpha also seemed to feel his gaze and looked at him. She smiled at him and held his hand.

“Yeah, that’s great.” She said, “Everything will go smoothly from now on … The plague will dissipate, and Datong will prosper.”

“Yes!”

[It will be fine. Everything will be fine.]

[It will go smoothly. Everything will go smoothly.]

The young man prayed silently in his heart and quietly held her hand tighter.

–

Duan Changchuan and Bai Su did not stay outside long before returning to the hall.

Dinner was eaten in the courtyard. It was already late spring. The weather was neither hot nor cold, and there weren’t many mosquitoes. It was a good time to dine outside.

The two sat facing each other at the table. Chang Le placed a candlestick on the table and lit the candles. Then, he brought a bowl of medicine for each of them.

“His Majesty’s medicine is still the same as before, but when Imperial Physician Huang heard that you got caught in the rain this afternoon, he added a few more cold-expelling herbs. specifically instructed you to drink the medicine while it’s hot. Your Highness’s medicine is also prepared by Imperial Physician Huang, he said it’s for expelling cold and replenishing Your Highness’s body, boosting resistance.”

In fact, he was brewing a blood-replenishing soup for Bai Su, but the reason he used was appropriate and did not arouse Duan Changchuan’s suspicion.

The young man drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp, and then looked at Alpha without blinking.

Bai Su picked up the medicine bowl, sniffed it lightly, and then drank it sip by sip.

It was only after she finished drinking that she noticed a pair of clear, black eyes staring at her.

She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows, “Why are you staring at me like that?”

The young man pursed his lips and smiled, “Just curious, seeing that this is your first time drinking Chinese medicine. How does it feel? I thought you would spit it out because it’s so bitter.”

Bai Su chuckled, “It’s not that bitter … When you drink it, the bitterness is a bit like hot Americano, but the taste is very different. This is the smell of herbs, while coffee is the aroma of roasted coffee. The aftertaste is also different. Chinese medicine has a bitter aftertaste, while coffee has a fragrant aftertaste.”

Duan Changchuan, “…”

Ah … It’s fine to compare only the taste, but why does she have to compare the aftertaste as well? Was she afraid that the Chinese medicine wasn’t bitter enough?

“Should I ask Chang Le to put some milk next time and make you a traditional Chinese medicine latte?” The young man teased with a smile.

Bai Su raised her eyebrows at him, “Now you know everything, hmm?”

The young man’s eyes curved and nodded confidently, “Yep.”

[Pfft …]

Why was he so cute?

–

After the meal, the sun had completely set, and many stars were shining in the sky.

Duan Changchuan blew out the candles on the table, tilted his head back, and asked, “Bai Su, shall we go to the roof and watch the stars?”

Now that he had completely recalled the things in modern times, he suddenly learned a lot of things, and his thinking was also integrated with modern times. Now, looking at the stars he had seen since childhood, he felt that it was incomparably novel.

The Milky Way was so bright and so long. The Cowherd and Vega on both sides of the Milky Way were also very clear. Next to the Cowherd Star, there were indeed two small stars hanging on the left and right.

Compared to the brightly lit city, the starry sky here seemed to be pressing down on the earth … It was vast and awe-inspiring.

“Bai Su, shall we go to the roof?”

The young man turned around and looked at his Alpha. His dark eyes reflected the bright starry sky.

Bai Su said helplessly, “No. The roof is so high, and you’re heavier now, so it’s not good for you to climb up. Besides, what if you accidentally fall? I just told you this afternoon that you need to be more careful in the future, but it seems like it went in one ear and out the other, hmm?”

The child covered his stomach and pouted, “I didn’t …”

The next moment, he was carried to the table with a dumbfounded expression.

The young man looked at himself and then looked up at Bai Su, puzzled, “Why did you bring me up?”

Bai Su said, “Since we can’t sit on the roof, so I just let you sit a little higher.”

The young man looked at the roof which was three to four meters high, then looked at his ground that could be reached by stretching his legs …

He raised his little hand high and then gently put it down, ‘fiercely’ punching her, “You’re not serious.”

He was intimately embraced by his Alpha. In an empty courtyard, she kissed his forehead.

“Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. When the baby is born, I’ll accompany you to the roof to watch the stars.”

The young man obediently leaned on her chest, his two arms clutching her sleeves, and half of his face buried in her shoulder.

“You’re Alpha, you have to fulfill your promises …”

“Okay … I promise, I’ll definitely fulfill my promises.”

“You have to prepare protective gear. Aunt Feng Yao often wears a veiled hat that can cover her entire head when she travels. Tomorrow, I’ll ask her for a few …”

“No need, she has already given me a few. She also prepared a lot for Elder Sun and the others, and sent them all together.”

“In this era, anti-inflammatory and heat-clearing medicines seem to be fine … But without penicillin, I’m very worried …”

After the young man regained his memory, he was even more afraid of the plague here.

Previously, he was afraid of the unknown. He only felt that Bai Su’s future was uncertain, and he had always been afraid of uncertainty …

But now, he completely knew how dangerous it was. The more he knew, the more afraid he was, and so the fear became deeper.

Bai Su hugged him tightly and patted his back gently, comforting him, “Don’t be afraid, I asked Senior Huang if there were any herbs to be used after fermentation. I just gave him a brief description of the specific characteristics, and he immediately knew. It’s something called Fermented Mustard Brine. It’s said that if you put it in a large jar, it will grow green mold. I guess it should be this. With penicillin, the situation is much better.”

The young man sniffed and did not speak.

After a while, the little guy in her arms finally moved … The next moment, a soft and warm touch gently burned her neck.

“The baby and I will wait for you to come back …”

“You promised me …”

Omega’s voice was pleasant and soft, and her whole body was stuffed into her arms … Alpha’s heart was sour and soft, and couldn’t help but tighten her arms … and tighten again.

The night was deep. The sky was full of stars, and the lanterns on the palace walls were hanging high … The wind blew, and the smell of peony and gardenia lingered and intertwined.

Alpha lowered her head and kissed the young man’s hair, saying, “Baby, I will … I will be back soon. You wait for me here, and remember to take care of yourself and the baby, okay? Don’t be angry, and don’t put yourself and the baby in danger.”

Omega obediently lowered his head and snuggled against his hair affectionately, saying, “Okay …”

“Then, let’s pinky swear?”

“… Okay, let’s pinky swear.”

[Pinky swear, hang yourself. One hundred years, no change …]

[Whoever violates is a puppy …]

Okay?
