Transmigrating as the Buddha-like Main Consort of a Power Minister

Chapter 26: Clothes - My child, why are you so unfortunate...

Early the next day, Ji Wan'er woke up at the usual time.

In a daze, she dressed and sat up, only to realize that Xiao Qingming was still asleep. Thinking about how hard Xiao Qingming worked studying on a regular basis, Ji Wan'er moved more quietly and slipped out of the house.

After selling the food in town, Ji Wan'er went to a ready-to-wear shop.

There weren't many choices for linen clothes, and the colors were limited. Ji Wan'er picked a light gray one and a dark blue one. After buying them, she glanced at Zi An.

Speaking of which, she had bought new clothes for both children last time. Later, she had altered her own clothes to fit Yun Shuang, leaving only Zi An without new clothes.

Ji Wan'er said, "Zi An, your elder brother's clothes are worn out and too small after wearing them for many years. We'll buy two new ones for him. Later, I'll alter his clothes to fit you."

She thought that most of Xiao Qingming's clothes were worn out at the cuffs, and some were simply too small. Altering them would make them suitable for Zi An.

"We don't have much money right now, but when we earn more in the future, we'll buy new clothes for you, alright?" Ji Wan'er added.

Although Zi An envied his older brother for having new clothes, he immediately became happy upon realizing that he could have some too. Regardless of whether the clothes were new or not, he would have a few more to wear, right?

"Okay."

Ji Wan'er looked at Zi An's contented expression and touched his head. She thought to herself, "What an understanding and obedient child."

After buying the clothes, the three of them returned home.

Upon returning, Ji Wan'er put down the cart and headed towards the courtyard. As soon as she entered, she noticed that Xiao Qingming was still asleep. Perhaps the sound of her opening the door was too loud, as Xiao Qingming furrowed his brow and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing that Xiao Qingming's complexion didn't look good, Ji Wan'er became somewhat worried and walked towards him.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

As Ji Wan'er approached, Xiao Qingming quickly sat up, his gaze towards her filled with complex emotions.

Ji Wan'er furrowed her brow and became increasingly convinced of her speculation. Xiao Qingming was acting very strange today, sleeping for an extra hour and his face seemed a bit flushed... Could he really be sick?

Ji Wan'er felt nervous and quickly crouched down, looking at Xiao Qingming. Being closer, she noticed that his face was even redder.

"Why is your face so red? Could you have a fever?"

Xiao Qingming pursed his lips, his gaze shifting, unable to look at Ji Wan'er.

The more Ji Wan'er looked, the more something seemed off. She reached out and touched Xiao Qingming's forehead.

Just as she made contact, Xiao Qingming moved away, saying, "You... what are you... doing?"

"Hmm?" Ji Wan'er was puzzled. "I'm checking if you have a fever. What's wrong with you?"

"I... I'm fine," Xiao Qingming nervously started to stutter.

This is what being fine looks like? Ji Wan'er didn't believe Xiao Qingming at all. She raised her hand again, trying to touch his forehead.

However, Xiao Qingming pushed her hand away and said, "Men and women shouldn't be so close."

After saying that, he quickly threw off the blanket and ran out.
