《Alluring Smile (Yāoráo De Wéixiào)》Chapter 7.1 "The Morning of A Wife"
Advertisement
The night ended, and the sun started to appear. The day was still early, the soothing wind blew gently passed the small house, and the sky wasn't turned blue yet. Jia Wan Wan who was sleeping on the table started to wake up. She slowly rubbed her eyes and sat. The first thing she saw was Ah Fei sleeping so calmly on the terrace pillar. She let out a small yawn and looked at the scenery outside. Jia Wan Wan looked at the position of the sun and moon and looked at the colour of the sky.
“It already passes Chou Hour (04:00 - 06:00) I need to start....”
Just when the thought of training appeared, she realized that she got a patient at home that needed to be taken care of, she thought to herself.
"No... today I should pass my morning training..."
She then stood up and quickly went to the kitchen. Jia Wan Wan had stock enough fruit, herbs, and water, but only for 1 person. She was a little bit worried that she might don't have enough food to feed both of them. she looked at her food stocks and mumbled
"Hmm... I should go to town to buy more food and herbs, I can only make a bowl of medicine soup for Ah Fei, and it seems I have to gather fruits from the mountain too..."
That morning, Jia Wan Wan prepared a bowl of soup, a bowl of fruits and a cup of water for Ah Fei. She put all of them near Ah Fei who was still sleeping calmly on her terrace.
She felt a comforting warm feeling in her heart, taking care of Ah Fei felt quite nice. She let out a gentle smile and started writing a note.
Going to the town to buy stuff,
Please eat this medicine when you’re awake, and here are some fruits for you to eat
Sick people need to eat healthy food, so even though it tastes bad, please finish all of it
-Jia Wan Wan-
She put the letter near him. She then opened her wooden cabinet and looked at her saving and grabbed all of it. She knew that she was not that rich, but she hoped that her saving will be enough for 2 people. Jia Wan Wan didn't know what exactly to buy in the town, so, she was bringing all of her saving for preparation.

She looked at Ah Fei for one last time, smiled, and quickly went to town.
Jia Wan Wan didn’t usually go to town this early in the morning. Normally, she would train on the mountain until noon, but now, she got a patient to tend to, so she had to change her routine. When Jia Wan Wan arrived at the market, she was surprised, she realized that there are many women and housewife buying groceries this early in the morning. all of them were busy chatting, negotiating, and shopping, the market which was not usually this crowded, now become such a merry place for women. She saw the Aunty of Hua Jun inn and also Xiao Hua mother, she called her from far away.
“Aunt Qing! Good morning!”
Aunt Qing heard a familiar voice, she turned her gaze at Jia Wan Wan, and happily ran towards her with her bag of groceries, she asked her.
“Xiao Wan, is rare to see you this early on town, how are you?’
“I’m good... Aunty, I never saw so many women in the market before? Do they usually buy groceries at these time of day?”
Aunt Qing laughed a little, Jia Wan Wan who dedicated herself in cultivation, was still young. Although she was a smart girl with high moral, it looked like she didn't know about the daily life of a housewife.
“Xiao Wan, in early mornings like this, Housewives and Mothers like to buy food and groceries for their Husbands and Sons. Morning is the best time to prepare everything for the day, because in the afternoon until evening, we as housewives have to tend the house"
“Oh.... I see”
Aunt Qing looked at Jia Wan Wan, she noticed that she only brought a grocery bag on her, and not her paintings.
"Xiao Wan I see you are not carrying your paintings today..."
Aunt Qing gently smiled at Jia Wan Wan.
"You’re shining with warmness today, you look like a young wife, who is trying to take care of her husband... ”
“!?”
Shocked, Jia Wan Wan tried to put on a big smile, a glimpse of someone at home suddenly appeared on her mind, her face started to get red, and her smile started to get wider, aunt Qing with Jia Wan Wan with teasing looks.

"Is there somebody on your mind, Eh, Xiao Wan, Eh......."
Jia Wan Wan with an embarrassed face smiled and said
"No... I just want to restock my supply of food"
Aunt Qing laughed, saying
“Hihi, not only smart, beautiful and strong, you also have the talent to be a great wife!”
“Alright, alright, aunt Qing, maybe next time I should study from you.... umm, I got to go now”
And with that, Jia Wan Wan left Aunt Qing. Jia Wan Wan with red blushing faces looked at her surroundings. She saw the women carrying a bag of groceries and buying all kind of stuff, she then looked at herself and realized, she was not that different from them, she laughed a bit.
"Hah... I really look like a wife......."
She started to buy the things she needed.
“Boss, I want a large bag of this rice”
Said Jia Wan Wan in front of a rice shop, the shop owner saw Jia Wan Wan and said
“Xiao Wan, it’s rare to see you this morning”
Jia Wan Wan only smiled and nodded
“It’s unusual for you to buy a large bag of rice, is there a guest at your house?”
Jia Wan Wan smiled
“You can say that...”
After she bought the rice she continued to walks toward the herb shop, and buy a large sum of herbs. Usually Jia Wan Wan only bought some herbs to season her food, or to made medicine for light injury, but today she thought to herself
“I should buy these herbs to makes medicine for Ah Fei, and while at it I should buy some vegetables too”
She then walked toward a clothing store. She wanted to buy some clothes for Ah Fei to use because she only had limited clothes, and most of them, only girls could wear, besides, Ah Fei height was a bit taller than her, so she had to buy something for him. While checking the clothes, she asked herself, what kind of clothes that Ah Fei likes, he was from a great sect, so she didn't know what to pick. While looking she remembered Ah Fei half naked body from last night, She closed her eyes quickly, and shake her head trying to focus her mind on buying clothes.
After she bought some of the dark colour robes, she realized the time and chose to head back home. but as she was almost leaving the market, she remembered
"Injured person needs a lot of nutrition, I don’t think rice and vegetables are enough for him.... I don’t have any meat at home, and it takes a long time to hunt for animal in the forest”
She looked at the remaining money she had, she already spent more money than usual today and her saving was starting to run out, but she thought to herself
“Hmmm I don’t need a lot of money anyway, I better buy some meat for Ah Fei...”
Jia Wan Wan headed back to the market to buy some meat, after she got some of them, she hurried to get home. on her way back, she picked some fruits from the forest, after a while, when she got near her house, she thought to herself “Does Ah Fei already awake?” , "Does he finish all the things that I prepared", "Does he liked it?"
After some wondering and pondering, she quickly walked toward home. Just when Jia Wan Wan arrived on the terrace, Ah Fei quickly saw he and smiled, with a gentle voice, he welcomed Jia Wan Wan home.
“Welcome Back....”
Jia Wan Wan with a somewhat happy feeling smiled and nodded at Ah Fei. She walked inside the house and noticed Ah Fei has finished the food and drink that left by her. Suddenly joy and bliss rushed down to her heart. She didn't expect the simple bliss of taking care of someone would be this... overwhelming! A big smile was painted clearly on Jia Wan Wan joyful face, why did this simple act of kindness bring so much joy to her? But then she realized something,
“Umm Ah Fei, are you hungry?”
