Female Supreme: Population is in crisis, I have a fruit-bearing tree

Ji Qingyu’s small courtyard——Weirui Pavilion.

This was the original name of the courtyard. Ji Qingyu thought it sounded nice so he didn’t change it.

"Um--"

A heart-wrenching moan came from behind the curtain, followed by a fluttering of the body.

Ji Qingyu rubbed his eyes and got out of bed.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, a big day. In the past, his mother and father would call him to the living room to eat early in the morning. Most families do this, it is a custom.

Although there was no servant to wake him up this time, he remembered the date and instinctively did not want to miss the opportunity to have breakfast with Su Qinghe on the first day of the new year.

He hurriedly packed up and went out, only to find that the long-missing horizontal scroll appeared on the empty door edge.

"May all your wishes come true?"

He moved his mouth and whispered four words.

Looking at the four large characters on the horizontal scroll that didn't fit in with the couplet, Ji Qingyu showed a puzzled expression.

This was obviously not written by Su Qinghe. Looking at the handwriting... it is somewhat similar to my brother's. Could it be that my brother understood the meaning of this couplet?

He stared straight at the four big, round characters, wishing his wish would come true...

What he wants most now is to become Su Qinghe's next husband...

He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his face suddenly turned red even on a cold winter day.

Is this really what she meant? But what if my brother misunderstood?

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Qingyu shook his head vigorously.

"No matter, since my brother has understood it this way, I will just assume that's what she meant. I'm so stupid, it won't be embarrassing if I really misunderstand!"

His face was red, and he looked like he had given up.

He looked up at the four big words again, recited them silently in his mind several times, turned around and walked quickly towards the dining hall.

Seeing that the building was getting closer and closer, Ji Qingyu couldn't help but widen the smile on his face.

He quickened his pace with great interest, but found that there was not even a cleaning servant inside, let alone Su Qinghe, whom he had been thinking about all the time.

The whole hall was very deserted, the tables were empty, and there was not a single plate of food.

He stood there in a daze, not reacting for a moment.

Just when he was at a loss, footsteps were heard at the door.

He turned his head happily. This time was usually when Su Qinghe finished her morning exercise.

"Manager Zhang?"

When he saw the person's face clearly, the smile on his lips instantly collapsed.

Zhang Fu was also stunned when he saw Ji Qingyu.

"Young Master Ji." She bowed respectfully.

"Manager Zhang, why are you alone today? Where are the other servants? And why haven't you prepared breakfast at this hour?"

Ji Qingyu asked all the confusion in his heart at once, staring at her intently, and couldn't wait to know the answer.

Zhang Fu looked surprised.

"Don't you know, young master?"

"The head of the family went home last night and gave instructions that no one needs to get up early or prepare breakfast today. On the first day of the new year, everyone can sleep in."

"What?"

Hearing this answer, Ji Qingyu was so dumbfounded that he couldn't believe it.

Zhang Fu spoke again.

"I remember that the young master went to the toilet, and the master said he would tell you personally when he came back."

Ji Qingyu opened his mouth but said nothing.

He remembered that he had diarrhea after coming back from the lantern festival last night and stayed in the toilet for a long time. When he came back, Su Qinghe and the others were already preparing to go back to rest, and no one told him about it!

The grievances in his heart surged like a tide, and Ji Qingyu felt his eyes sore. He quickly lowered his head, not wanting to be seen by Zhang Fu.

"She did tell me, but I forgot it when I got up."

"In that case, I will go back to sleep. Thank you, Manager Zhang!"

He pretended to suddenly understand something, thanked Zhang Fu, and walked away quickly.

He didn't want others to know that Su Qinghe had forgotten him, as that would only make them feel that he had no place in Su Qinghe's heart.

Even if it was fake, he didn't want it.

A man hurried back to Weirui Pavilion. Ji Qingyu was so cold that he couldn't stop shaking all over.

The servants were all resting today and no one was boiling hot water for him, so he had no way of getting new hot water for the hot pack.

He took off his shoes and socks and got back on the bed. He wrapped himself tightly with the quilt and held a hot pack with only residual warmth in his arms, but his hands and feet were still cold after holding it for a long time.

His hands were fine, but his feet were numb from the cold.

As a last resort, he quickly got up, found a few pairs of socks to put on, and then crawled back into the quilt.

……

“Gurgle…”

Suddenly, in the originally silent inner room, a clear and audible sound of intestines came out. The sound was not loud, but it seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet atmosphere.

Su Qinghe frowned, reached out to lift the quilt off her body, then quickly turned over and got out of bed.

If she keeps lying in bed like this, she'll really starve to death.

Over the years, she had gotten used to eating breakfast. Now it was almost noon and had long passed the usual breakfast time. Her rumbling stomach had begun to protest strongly.

"...wife master..."

At this time, Lin Xi, who was sleeping beside him, slowly opened his eyes and woke up. He was also awakened by hunger.

"Are you awake? Hurry up, we are ready for lunch."

As Su Qinghe spoke, she walked to a clothes rack not far away, took out a piece of clothing, turned around and handed it to Lin Xi.

Wenzhu, who was usually responsible for helping Linxi wash and dress, did not enter the room today. This was something Su Qinghe had specifically instructed. As long as she was in the inner room, no matter it was at night or in the morning, there was no need for them to come in and serve her.

After they finished washing and dressing, they headed to the hall together. Halfway through the journey, they saw Ji Yuan walking in front of them from a distance.

Su Qinghe called them and the three of them walked into the hall together.

Since they didn't have breakfast, Su Qinghe asked them to have lunch earlier, so there were already some servants standing in the hall and Zhang Fu was waiting at the door.

After giving the order that the food could be served, several people sat at the table for a while.

"Has Yu'er not gotten up yet? It's only half an hour until noon." Ji Yuan muttered to himself while looking at the sun.

Time passed by, but Ji Qingyu still didn't show up. Ji Yuan was getting anxious waiting.

Did I oversleep?

At this moment, Zhang Fu came forward and whispered:

"Young Master Ji came here early this morning, but he seemed to have forgotten that he didn't have to get up early to eat, so he went back to sleep."

Hearing this, Su Qinghe stood up from her seat. Her eyes widened, her face full of regret - she actually forgot such an important thing!

"You guys eat first, I'll go call him!"

Without giving any time to explain, Su Qinghe hurriedly left like a gust of wind after saying a few words, leaving Lin Xi and Ji Yuan looking at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Ji Qingyu!"

Su Qinghe called softly and tapped on the door with her fingers, making a crisp sound.

However, there was silence in the room, and no one responded. She simply opened the door and walked in.

"Ji Qingyu?"

After entering the room, Su Qinghe looked around but did not see Ji Qingyu.

She walked towards the inner room while calling his name.

Finally, she reached the bed.

"Ji Qingyu, are you awake?"

Standing in front of the bed, Su Qinghe looked at the thin gauze curtain and asked again.

Still getting no response, she reached out and flung open the veil.

“Ji Qingyu!”

When Su Qinghe saw the scene on the bed clearly, her brows furrowed.

Ji Qingyu was seen curled up in a ball, his face as pale as paper.

She quickly stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, only to feel it was scorching hot, frighteningly hot.

Startled, Su Qinghe lifted the quilt without hesitation, quickly took off his outer robe, carefully hugged Ji Qingyu in his arms, then pulled up the quilt again and wrapped them both tightly.

Ji Qingyu seemed to have lost consciousness, and his body was still shaking slightly.

Su Qinghe touched his hands and feet, they were so cold!

She wrapped her entire body around him, circulating her inner energy and letting the heat spread through his body.

Slowly, the person in my arms stopped trembling, but remained motionless, as if frozen.

As his internal energy continued to be stimulated, Su Qinghe hugged the person tighter.
