Raising a Husband at the Bun Shop

[A Short, Simple, Sweet Story]

Sharp-tongued, fierce bottom x Sturdy top who's slow-witted and awkward with words

There was a knock at the door. Yu Sui asked softly, "Who is it?"

It took a while for the person outside to introduce himself. It was the man he'd gone on a blind date with a few days ago.

They say a betrothed couple shouldn't meet before their wedding, so Yu Sui didn't open the door. Thinking the man had no manners, he asked irritably, "What do you want?"

Chen Xiaonian scratched his head and said in a muffled voice, "Matchmaker Sun said you agreed. I only found out yesterday that she hadn't told you everything. I can't keep it from you..."

Yu Sui frowned. "What is it?"

"I... I..." Chen Xiaonian was no longer young. He ought to be celebrating with gongs and drums that a young man was willing to marry him, but he couldn't bring himself to hide anything. Still, telling someone about his embarrassing secret was difficult. He stammered for a long time, choosing his words carefully. "I fell and hit my head when I was little. I'm not very bright..."

Sure enough, the room fell silent. Chen Xiaonian nervously pinched his sweaty hand, but before long the young man's laughter came from inside. "Oh, that? I already knew."

When Chen Xiaonian was little, he fell while gathering mushrooms in the mountains and injured his head. He wasn't very smart.

He didn't get married until he was twenty-six, when a young man finally agreed to marry him.

His mind wasn't quick, and all he had was a strong body. All he knew was to treat his husband well.

Everyone else laughed at Yu Sui for marrying a fool, but Yu Sui didn't think Chen Xiaonian was foolish at all. He was just a little simple and honest, and he was genuinely good to him.

Chen Xiaonian's parents knew he was slow and would have trouble making a living, so they taught him how to make noodles.

He couldn't keep the books straight and often lost money, but ever since his husband moved in, the accounts had been in order and their life had been getting better and better.

A simple, down-to-earth story about eating and cooking, filled with the warmth of everyday life.

I'll start posting once I have a few more saves~
