The General's Darling Is Delicate

Moreover, she’s not facing away from him, you know!

That charming little face, adorable even in her sleep, snuggled towards him. Her doll-like face unwittingly brushed against his fingertips.

It reminded him so much of the little white cat he had snatched from his mother.

So cute... he almost wanted to take a bite!

However, Yelyu Lie couldn’t bear to do so, and instead planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Afterward, he picked up the oil lamp and walked over to the large wooden chest originally filled with all sorts of daggers.

Below the window ledge, the cabinet held a pile of black objects, resembling horse dung balls, numbering more than twenty.

The surface, with its rough texture... looked just like the skin of a leprosy patient.

These... these things seem to be potatoes?

Can you eat them?

Is this edible?

Yelyu Lie shivered, unsure why the little darling kept these things at home.

Oh, inside the wooden chest, amid a bunch of green leaves, were some beautifully red fruits.

Yelyu Lie sneaked a glance at the sweetly sleeping little darling on the couch, plucked one red fruit, rubbed it on his cloak, and popped it into his mouth.

The taste sensation upon entry... how to describe it?

He didn’t find them very delicious!

Why did this little wife keep mentioning that she would prepare a sumptuous feast for him tomorrow?

Yelyu Lie held the tomato in one hand, looking around the room, the curve of his lips growing wider.

Previously, this room was like an inn or a warehouse to him.

Now it’s different, filled everywhere with the sweet scent of the little darling, with traces of her everywhere.

Yelyu Lie raised his head, looking at the heap of skulls hanging from the ceiling.

He began to remove his cloak, throwing it aside, and kickstarted a grand renovation of the room!

The little darling never despised these things, but now he couldn’t bear them anymore.

This room needed a major overhaul, as the soft little Princess couldn’t possibly live in such a terrifying room.

That night, Yelyu Lie didn’t sleep a wink, fiddling with it until dawn, the room already appearing... ’new’... right?

He heard footsteps outside, so he tiptoed over.

Pushing the door open, he saw Aunt Ye yawning, holding spring couplets ready to stick them on the door.

Seeing the tall man, she jumped.

She was about to speak but saw him gesture ’shh’ at his lips.

Then he waved, taking all the couplets and window paper from her hands.

Aunt Ye inadvertently glanced inside through the open door crack and was utterly stunned!

On such a grand New Year, was she seeing things through old eyes?

The General’s room...

Aunt Ye was just surprised when the man who had just taken the couplets from her at the door widened the gap.

"Is it nice?"

Aunt Ye: "..."

Oh, this...

Should she tell the truth, or...

Aunt Ye squeezed out a smile, "Nice! The General is really amazing!"

Yelyu Lie also thought he was quite amazing!

Therefore, over the next two hours, he put in even more effort.

After arranging all the layouts inside, sticking all the window paper, he went outside to put up curtain paper.

Suddenly, he heard a scream from inside the room.

Yelyu Lie’s hand shook, dropping even the paste in his hand, and he rushed in, "Nuannuan, what’s wrong? Having a nightmare?"

Yun Chunnuan, initially still groggy from sleep, forced a smile when she saw the ’brand new’ room, "Did you do this?"

The Barbarian General nodded, eagerly seeking praise, "How is it? Do you like it? Before it was all skulls, and I didn’t think about switching them out sooner, my bad, I scared my wife."

In the morning, she awoke with a strand of hair falling by her lips, her sleepy eyes enchanting Yelyu Lie, reluctant to look away.

He leaned in, daringly stealing a kiss, feeling overjoyed, "Nuannuan looks nice, doesn’t she?"

How to put it...

This room, with his pair of ’skillful’ hands, was decorated colorfully...

Those dangling ornaments folded into flowers, or cloth strips hanging everywhere, Yun Chunnuan recognized as materials from the large chest he had prepared for her.

But, couldn’t the colors be a tad nicer, goodness?

Bright red paired with bright green...

However, one mustn’t hurt the fiery heart of an innocent young man.

"Ahem." Yun Chunnuan pursed her lips, two sweet dimples appearing at the corners of her mouth, "Nice! Husband is truly amazing~~"

Yet, this smile only lasted around three seconds before disappearing, "Don’t tell me you spent the whole night decorating?"

The man’s wheat-colored skin did not show any dark circles, looking full of spirit.

Yet upon seeing the traces of blood on his fingertips and the array of scissors and sewing materials on the flower-patterned cloth-covered table, she quickly understood.

"Darling, Happy New Year, I wanted to give you a surprise, this is the kind of room a little Princess should live in!"

Yelyu Lie, with his straightforward aesthetic, was quite satisfied with his creation.

Yun Chunnuan helplessly held her forehead, just about to rise from the bed, but he beat her to it, retrieving the cloak hung by the bed and draping it over her shoulders, "It’s cold, don’t let my darling catch a chill! Tonight, we still have to enter the palace and outshine everyone!"

Yun Chunnuan’s porcelain-white little face blushed, sweetened inside by this silly Barbarian’s coaxing, how could she feel cold?

"Silly, to you, your wife is just a heavenly fairy exactly in your eyes! Hurry up and sleep, I’ll prepare New Year’s Eve lunch, we’ll eat and then go to the palace."

Yelyu Lie’s tall figure was forcibly seated on the bedside by the little darling pressing down his shoulders.

She even squatted down to help remove his shoes.

As Yelyu Lie tried to stop her, she had already risen, tossing the blanket edge onto his face, "Sleep quickly, otherwise, you won’t be having lunch later!"

"Are you still tired?"

His eyes gleamed, holding the little darling’s soft hand, like a child playfully refusing.
