Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Tan Shaoting also sat beside Su Yuanyuan.

Looking at the child on the kang with a flushed face, he suddenly thought that if Yuanyuan and he had a child, it would definitely be cuter, smarter, and more beautiful than any other child.

Tan Shaoting used to be quite silent outside. So even if he got lost in thought now, no one would notice.

The Zhao sisters also didn't have the mind to eat, so they just made some corn grits porridge.

Su Yuanyuan sat with her legs together beside the child. She noticed the child's breathing had stabilized a lot and was finally at ease.

When the two sisters finished eating and saw the child was much better, they finally felt at ease.

Only then did they have the mood to chat. "Xiao Tan, when did you come back? How long do you plan to stay at home?"

"I got home late last night. I can stay at home for twenty days."

"You'll have to leave again after twenty days, right?"

"Yes, I still have to leave." The more they asked, the more reluctant he felt to leave.

Once the child's breathing was even, Su Yuanyuan was at ease, letting Zhao Yanping put away the remaining medicine before leaving. As they passed the Li Family's house, they happened to meet Li Liyun coming out.

No time like the present. Today, let's have Tan Shaoting and the Li Family meet.

"Sister Yuan Yuan."

"Xiao Yun, is your grandfather at home?"

"Yes, come in quickly."

Before they got inside, Li Hongxiang came out to greet them.

"Yuanyuan, what brings you here?"

"Hai Yan wasn't feeling well earlier, so I went to check on her.

Mr. Li, this is my boyfriend, Tan Shaoting.

This is Mr. Li and also Li Liyun."

"Sister, and me too."

"Oh right. This is Li Shaoguang."

Tan Shaoting wore a graceful smile. "Thank you, Mr. Li, for taking care of Yuanyuan."

"No need to be polite, it's this girl who's been taking care of us grandparents. Xiao Tan, please come in."

Li Liyun followed behind Su Yuanyuan. "Sister Yuan Yuan, is this the brother-in-law?"

"Yes." Su Yuanyuan smiled; indeed, he was the brother-in-law.

"Sister Yuan Yuan, stay for dinner at my place today."

"No, we'll go home. Your brother-in-law can't stay long at home."

Tan Shaoting walked ahead, feeling elated as Su Yuanyuan acknowledged him as the brother-in-law.

They stayed at the Li Family's for a quarter-hour before leaving.

"Yuanyuan, I'm happy that Winter Melon acknowledged me in front of others."

Su Yuanyuan gave Tan Shaoting a sidelong glance, thinking that since the relationship was confirmed, wasn't acknowledgment normal? What's so special about it?

In fact, she didn't realize that because she didn't know how to express herself, in Tan Shaoting's eyes, she seemed indifferent, which made him uneasy as if she could abandon him at any moment.

When they got home, Tan Shaoting stuck to Su Yuanyuan like glue.

He felt time was too short, really too short, as if he'd have to leave her soon, unwilling to part.

Su Yuanyuan was annoyed by his clinginess. "Aren't you going to practice cultivation?"

"No, this is good. Being with you is enough."

Tan Shaoting hugged Su Yuanyuan without letting go, especially curious and yearning for things like these.

Su Yuanyuan felt that this was permissible between male and female friends, but it made Tan Shaoting somewhat overstep his bounds. His actions went a bit too far.

Su Yuanyuan, flustered by his kisses, felt his hand's position and gave him a slap. This guy was overstepping his bounds.

When a man has thoughts in this area, how could he hold back? So the entire afternoon, he took quite the advantage.

At night, Su Yuanyuan tried to shoo him to the other room, but he shamelessly stayed.

Watching the sweetly sleeping girl beside him, Tan Shaoting felt ablaze, enduring with difficulty.

He eventually snuck into Su Yuanyuan's bed, which was even more thrilling. During the day, both had worn thick cotton clothing, but now in thin garments, the feeling intensified.

Su Yuanyuan was stirred awake by him. "Go sleep in the west room."

"Yuanyuan, don't be like this, I really can't leave.

Yuanyuan, I'm so uncomfortable, I can't bear it anymore. I truly can't." Panting, he said, his hands moving more boldly.

Su Yuanyuan, having never experienced these things in her past life, was also lost in Tan Shaoting's teasing.

When both of their clothes were tossed aside, she felt Tan Shaoting's body was as hard as steel.

But she had no chance to think further. Tan Shaoting, driven by instinct, pleased Su Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, can I? Can I? I can't hold back anymore, will you give yourself to me?"

Though inexperienced, men talk about everything among themselves, and some were married. Plus he had seen the Dual Cultivation Method before, so he had some knowledge.

"Yuanyuan, will you give me a chance?"

Su Yuanyuan, hazy from emotion, was genuinely touched. Tan Shaoting's voice beside her was a catalyst.

Even though she hadn't experienced it in her past life, in that open world, she knew what it meant.

"Yuanyuan, my Yuanyuan, I am yours."

Su Yuanyuan, as if driven by fate, nodded.

Even a slight nod was noticed by Tan Shaoting.

It was like the sound of heaven to him, freeing him of any concerns.

At the moment the two came together, they both felt something had changed.

Their cultivation techniques started operating on their own. But who would care about that now?

"Yuanyuan, we truly belong to each other now."

Su Yuanyuan had no energy for thoughts, simply following Tan Shaoting's lead.

Though it was the first time, Tan Shaoting was in no hurry to finish.

Later, Su Yuanyuan felt exhausted. "I can't anymore, let me go."

Afterwards, Tan Shaoting, panting, turned Su Yuanyuan over, letting her lay on top of him, holding her tightly.

It was then they realized their long stagnant cultivation technique had broken through, instantly advancing to the fourth layer.

Tan Shaoting's hand lingered on her, "Yuanyuan, I reached the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer."

Su Yuanyuan also realized she reached the fourth layer too. But her body was really uncomfortable. Struggling, she lifted her arm, poured a glass of water, tilted her head to drink, and before she swallowed, Tan Shaoting's mouth came close.

Two glasses of water were shared this way, feeling the difference in their bodies simultaneously.

Images of Dual Cultivation techniques played in Tan Shaoting's mind.

"Yuanyuan, let's try the Dual Cultivation Method, I'll guide you."

Tan Shaoting didn't wait for Su Yuanyuan to refuse.

It was their first time experiencing the wonders of the Dual Cultivation Method.

Tan Shaoting couldn't get enough of it, showing no intention of stopping.

"Tan Shaoting, stop it. I'm too tired."
