Chapter 1051: Love for Husband
As the dance ended, Ying looked at the sweat on Katsina's forehead, squatted down, and praised her: "Little girl, what's your name? You dance very well!"
Katsina's cheeks flushed with praise. She curled her hair with her fingers at the back of her head and thanked her sweetly, "Thank you for the compliment, sister! My name is Katsina."
She secretly looked up at Ying's golden hair, and secretly thought that this sister was very friendly, just like Lord Kagami.
"Katsina," Ying repeated the name and praised, "It's a nice name!"
Not far away, Ayu was butting Potato Pancake's head with his head, and the two little dragons rolled into a ball. Potato Pancake's red silk scarf was dragging a crooked trail on the ground.
Katsina's attention was drawn to the little dragon. She pointed at the silk scarf on Potato Pancake's tail and asked, "Is this little dragon from my sister's family? The ribbon on its tail is so beautiful."
Ying nodded, with a hint of pride in her tone, and answered truthfully: "Yes, sister, I met this little dragon in a secret realm. It's very special, isn't it."
Katsina looked at the little dinosaur Potato Pancake playing with her little dinosaur and nodded in agreement, "Indeed!"
At this moment, Shao Yun, who came to look for Ying, Paimeng and his own little dragon, saw Ying and Kazina chatting.
I didn’t expect Ying to make friends so quickly?
"You made friends so quickly?" Shao Yun sighed as he walked over.
Ying stood up upon hearing the voice, turned around and waved to Shao Yun, shouting, "Hubby, you're finally here! It's so lively here."
"Mr. Shao Yun, you're back!" Katsina looked up and her eyes lit up when she saw Shao Yun.
But when the word "husband" entered her ears, Katsina was suddenly stunned. She looked at Ying with her mouth slightly open and said, "Oh! So you are Mr. Shao Yun's wife!"
Ying nodded, and looking at Katsina's wide-eyed, shocked face, she couldn't help but curl her lips and asked, "Hey? Do you know my husband?"
Katsina nodded her head, her tone full of undisguised admiration.
"Yes! He's our Nata's great hero! Although he's not very famous, Sister Xinoning told me privately that Mr. Shao Yun was very brave when he fought against the abyss!"
"He also saved me, and Sister Xinoning!"
When Shao Yun heard this, he lowered his head and gave Ying a light kiss on the cheek, then smiled self-deprecatingly.
"These are all old stories. They are not heroic and not worth mentioning."
Ying's cheeks were burning from his kiss. She was about to speak when she saw Shao Yun put his arms around her waist and turned to wink at Katsina.
"By the way, Katsina, do you think Ying is pretty?"
"Beautiful!" Katsina nodded vigorously without thinking.
This straightforward compliment made Ying blush instantly. She gently pushed Shao Yun and said coyly, "Don't tease the child, I will be shy..."
Shao Yun refused to let her go. He gently scratched her chin with his fingertips, a gentle smile in his eyes: "You must believe in your own charm."
Ying was already thin-skinned, and after hearing what he said, she shrank into his arms in embarrassment, reaching out and gently patting his arm.
Shao Yun looked at Ying's red ears and the way she snuggled into his arms, chuckled softly, and gently pinched her cheek with his fingertips.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
He turned to look at Katsina and said goodbye, "Haha, sorry, Katsina, we have to leave for now. After I finish my work at the ranch in a few days, I will bring Ying to see you dance."
Katsina immediately nodded obediently and waved her little hands vigorously.
"Well! Goodbye Mr. Shao Yun, goodbye Sister Ying, goodbye Sister Paimeng, and goodbye Potato Pancake!"
Paimeng, who was playing with two little dragons, saw Shao Yun asking him to go with the little dragons, and said to the little crested dragon "Ayu": "Well, Ayu, goodbye, we'll play again later."
Ayu shook his head and let out a childish "Wow!" from his throat, as if to say "Be careful on the road."
Seeing this, the potato pancakes from Shao Yun's family also raised their little heads, waved their little paws, and shouted "Wow" in the same tone as Ayu, with a soft and sticky voice.
……
On the way to Sinoning Workshop.
Shao Yun lowered his head and kicked the small stones at his feet, then said to Ying and Paimon beside him, "We will meet Mavica, the Fire Goddess of Nata, later. Please be prepared."
Paimon was floating in the air and asked curiously, "The God of Fire? She seems like a serious older sister."
"Quite the opposite," Shao Yun smiled and gave a vivid assessment, "Her personality is a bit like Captain Beidou's—very forthright and straightforward. You just need to treat her normally. No need to be overly polite."
Ying responded softly: "Well, then I feel relieved..."
She looked down at the potato pancake following her. The little guy was chasing his own shadow, and the red scarf on his tail swept across the ground, leaving a string of tiny scratches.
At this moment, in front of Sinoning's workshop.
When Mavica saw Shao Yun coming with Ying, she stood up and waved, but her eyes froze the moment they met Ying.
Ying's star-like golden hair sparkled with a charming luster in the sunlight and fell perfectly on her shoulders.
Her bright eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, and even she couldn't help but be attracted to them.
Her skin glowed lightly under the caress of the sun, like a princess from another world, with a clean and dazzling aura.
Ying's eyebrows and eyes are not particularly sharp, and her nose is not eye-catchingly high, but when they are combined together, there is an indescribable harmony.
It has the agility and liveliness of a girl, as well as the charm of a mature woman.
As I said, it is very attractive and you will never get tired of looking at it!
I have to admit that Shao Yun has really good vision.
Even Mavica would admit defeat in this regard.
As Shao Yun and his group approached her, Mavica came to her senses, stretched out her right hand towards Ying, and welcomed her:
"Hello, my name is Mavica, the current God of Fire. But don't be shy! I hope you will treat me as a friend."
Ying looked at the woman in front of her, whose smile was warmer than the sun. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would have been hard for her to imagine that a god of a country could have such a cheerful demeanor as Beidou.
She shook his hand and nodded politely, "Oh, hello, Miss Vulcan."
"Haha, just call me Mavica!" Mavica laughed heartily and patted Ying's arm again, with a moderate force that carried a sense of intimacy.
"God of Fire, God of Fire, that sounds strange."
Shao Yun gently patted Ying's shoulder from behind, leaned in close and whispered, "As I said just now, she is a very kind person."
Ying's eyes rolled, and she suddenly asked, "Um, Miss Mavica, I want to ask, has my husband caused any trouble for you?"
"Hey, do you think I'm a pushover in your eyes?" Shao Yun immediately reached out and scratched the tip of her nose.
Ying's nose felt itchy from being scratched by him, and she subconsciously pouted and her voice softened.
"Just to show some concern for you..." The ending tone was drawn out like a coquettish kitten.
Mavica put one hand on her hip and commented cheerfully, "Haha, your husband is a very good person, and he's also very reliable."
As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on her lips suddenly faded, with a hint of indescribable resentment, and her voice became deeper.
"That's right. Sometimes I'm too stubborn and always push myself too hard. Even ten of my scooters couldn't stop that stubborn temper."
"What?" Ying's heart suddenly tightened, and worry instantly appeared in her bright golden eyes.
"Why does he force himself?"
Mavica nodded heavily, and put her other hand on her waist. She stared at Shao Yun and revealed all his past "crimes".
"Everything I said is true! When Nata and Abyss were fighting the most fiercely, your husband didn't sleep for almost a week, riding his horse to wherever there was a cry for help."
She suddenly moved closer to Ying, her voice lowered, but with unquestionable seriousness.
"If I hadn't stopped him and said, 'If you collapse from exhaustion, what will happen to your wife and children? They will be so sad,' I don't know how long he would have stayed up."
"I estimate that it's possible to not sleep for a month!"
Shao Yun listened from the side, raised his hand to his forehead and smiled helplessly: "Okay, Mavica, I knew you were going to tell my wife about it..."
Mavica suddenly winked at him with her left eye, her tone a little childish and mischievous.
"Didn't I care about you back then? Exhausting yourself would be good for us. Back then, we Nata were counting on you, a great hero, to lend a hand now and then! Don't you understand the importance of combining work and rest?"
Ying's heart tightened when she heard this. She quietly leaned towards Shao Yun and asked softly, "Did you... really endure that long?"
Shao Yun's heart softened when he saw her look. He held her hand with his backhand and glanced at Mavica helplessly.
"It's not as exaggerated as she said...I just haven't slept for a week."
"Hey! What do you mean it's just a week without sleep?" Mavica interrupted, her hands on her hips again. "Anyone else would have fainted from exhaustion! Only you, fighting with yourself like it's your fate."
Although Shao Yun and Mavica both spoke with a joking tone when they mentioned what happened back then.
But when these words fell into Ying's ears, they aroused bitterness in her heart.
In Ying's mind, her husband was so reluctant, wasn't he just trying to save her? To save Nata, and then to save herself.
When Ying thought of this, she felt as if her heart was blocked by something, sore and swollen, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
"Wuwu..." Ying bit her lower lip tightly, trying to hold back her sobs, but her shoulders still trembled uncontrollably.
Shao Yun was just about to laugh and tease Mavica about "telling the truth" when he turned around and saw Ying crying. The smile on his face froze instantly and he reached out to wipe her tears in a panic.
"Oh, no, why are you crying? Weren't you fine just now?" His fingertips touched her warm tears, and his heart tightened.
"I just... I just feel sorry for you... wuah..." Ying's sobs became louder and louder, with a strong nasal tone, and her tears were like beads that had broken off the string and could not be wiped away.
"You must have had a hard time..."
When Shao Yun heard that his wife cared about him, he felt so warm in his heart. It was not in vain that he cared about Ying!
Then, Shao Yun took Ying into his arms and patted her back gently.
"I'm fine, right? I don't have any injuries at all."
Mavica, who was standing by, looked at Ying crying bitterly, rubbing her hands helplessly, like a child who had gotten into trouble.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Did I say something wrong? I shouldn't have brought up those old things..."
Ying wiped her tears in Shao Yun's arms, raised her head with sobs, and replied: "No, thank you for telling me this..."
She sniffed, her voice still trembling.
"It's just... When I think about how tired my husband was at that time, I feel so sad..."
Shao Yun looked at her red eyes and couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her forehead, saying lovingly, "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore, okay? If you cry again, you'll turn into a little cat."
