Chapter 1694: Chapter 1696: Do You Remember Our First Meeting?
Seeing that Yang Dong agreed, Xiaoxiao instructed, "Xiaoqiu, light a few more candles so we can see clearly later."
"Okay." Alu responded to the instructions and swiftly went to do it.
Soon, the room was brightly lit.
Then, Xiaoxiao lowered Li Chuntao’s hand, lifting the quilt and letting Li Chuntao lie flat.
Fortunately, it’s almost winter, and everyone is dressed warmly, so lifting the quilt was not an issue. Besides, other than Yang Dong, there were no other men in the room, only women. The male members of the family had left to wait in other rooms after noticing Li Chuntao hadn’t woken up.
Originally, waking up Li Chuntao could have been done at any time, not necessarily at night.
But during the day, the Li Family wouldn’t let Yang Dong get close.
Moreover, Li Chuntao had just started showing signs of consciousness in her fingers, so it might be the perfect time to call her name now.
So, despite the late hour, everyone was bustling with just one goal: to wake Li Chuntao.
"Alu, stay by my side and watch your lady’s face. Look for any movement on her forehead, eyebrows, eyelashes, or the corners of her mouth."
"Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, you two watch Li Chuntao’s hands."
"Mother and Xiaoqiu, keep an eye on Li Chuntao’s feet."
Xiaoxiao assigned each person their part to watch carefully, and everyone got onto the bed, their eyes fixed on their assigned area. This was a critical task, and no one dared be careless.
Once everyone was ready, Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Fourth Brother, try talking to her; we won’t disturb you."
Yang Dong never expected he would have to speak his heartfelt words to Li Chuntao in front of his family. He thought they would leave.
However, he understood what his third sister-in-law meant; they wanted to see if the calling would have any effect. If it did, they’d continue until Li Chuntao woke up.
In truth, Xiaoxiao was out of options. Unlike modern times, where medical equipment can indicate patient changes, they could only rely on their eyes here.
As for Yang Dong, he had already said he wouldn’t marry anyone but Li Chuntao in front of the family, so what more could he say?
Everyone fixed their eyes on Li Chuntao while listening intently to what Yang Dong would say, as everyone was genuinely curious.
Finally, Yang Dong spoke, "Do you remember the first time we met?"
Such a statement didn’t particularly surprise anyone; was he going to start from when they first met?
"At that teahouse."
This shocked everyone; their first meeting was at a teahouse? Wasn’t it supposed to be in their courtyard while de-kerneling corn?
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao was also confused. Wasn’t their first meeting during a return home trip?
But thinking more on it, they might have seen each other but didn’t speak, so it wasn’t considered a formal meeting. But what was the story about the teahouse?
So she perked her ears up to listen as well.
"At that time, I was on a blind date. You suddenly showed up, claiming to be on a blind date too, and scared me. You chased off the girl I was meeting, even pouring tea on her."
"In the midst of fighting off the other person so fiercely, looking fearless, you pulled me away bashfully when a crowd gathered to watch."
