"Ah-choo!"
In the stationery factory, Qin Yao stood in the middle of the courtyard and fiercely sneezed under the scorching sun.
Liu Bai and Liu Fei, who were listening to her talk about the carriage drivers from nearby villages, looked at her in surprise.
Liu Fei asked with concern, "Third Sister-in-law, have you caught a heat cold?"
Heat cold referred to a summer cold.
Although Liu Fei thought the chances of his formidable third sister-in-law catching a heat cold were almost zero, he couldn't help but worry—what if?
Qin Yao waved a hand. "I'm fine, just a bit itchy in the nose; maybe some sawdust got in."
Qin Yao frowned slightly and instinctively covered her chest, her heart racing with an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
Just as she was about to suppress this inexplicable feeling, her ears suddenly twitched.
"Did you hear the sound of Old Huang's hooves from my house?" Qin Yao asked the two.
Liu Bai and Liu Fei shook their heads. No, they hadn't.
