”Aren't you cold? Why aren't you coming up?”
The man was in the midst of slowly tidying his clothes on top of the wooden mat. When he heard her words, he smiled and said with interest, ”It's still deep into the night. My wife, don't be anxious.”
Su Zhi cursed under her breath and fell asleep on her own.
After Xiao Qian Xiu was strong enough to get on the bed, he pressed her body against the bed.
”How is your husband?”
”Not bad.”
She narrowed her eyes and deliberately ignored the throbbing in her heart.
”Is that all?”
Otherwise? When did Xiao Qian's hoof become so slutty?
Men were indeed the same!
Su Zhi harrumphed, ”What else can we do?”
He replied shamelessly, ”Perhaps the lights are too dim, you can't really feel it. Otherwise, feel it?”
Su Zhi's face turned red from his teasing. She reached out to push him, ”I'm going to sleep if you don't. Get out!”
Xiao Qian pinched her nose, flipped over, and pulled her into his embrace.
”Tomorrow I will go to the western suburbs and camp. Before I leave, I will tell Grandmother about this matter. She isn't such an unreasonable person, she only favored the Southern Zhenren and hoped that I would marry Anyang.”
”En, it's up to you. In any case, I'll just say those unsightly words first. Don't regret marrying me into your family then, I'm not going to give up.”
He smiled and kissed the woman's forehead. ”I regret that I didn't meet you earlier.”
Su Zhi smiled shyly and sighed as she laid in his arms. ”Then, are Little Dou and A Jin going to belong to the Xiao family tree from now on?”
The man was obviously shocked. He remained silent for a while and then slowly said, ”There's nothing wrong with the Soybean Bag. A Jin, he …”
”Hmm? What happened to A Jin? ”
He didn't answer her directly, but asked her instead, ”Ah Zhi, can you really not remember everything that happened in the past? ”Even a little bit?”
Su Zhi shook her head, confused. ”I can't remember anything. I knocked my brains out in Peace Village. I can't even remember A Jin's birthdate.”
Xiao Qian tightened his arms as a complicated expression appeared on his face.
”A Zhi, did you know that there was a family in Beijing with the surname Su?”
She nodded calmly, ”I know. I've heard Brother Li speak of it before. It seems that his fate is somewhat miserable.”
But what did it have to do with her?
”Why did you mention this?”
Xiao Qian shook his head. ”No, nothing. I just suddenly remembered.”
Su Zhi nodded softly. In her mind, she thought back to the woman who had admitted her wrong and that young man.
Xiao Qian had once said that he might be the Crown Prince.
As if he had sensed her absent-mindedness, Xiao Qian stroked her hair and patted her shoulder with his rough hand. ”Go to sleep. You've been tired enough these past few days.”
Since Su Zhi had something on her mind, she did not say much.
The two of them lay side by side, their thoughts different.
At dawn the next day, the crowing of chickens came from outside the courtyard.
The rain had stopped in the middle of the night, and the mist of dawn hung far off in the distance.
Su Zhi turned over and subconsciously looked to her side, only to find that the man beside her had already left.
She recalled that Xiao Qian had said last night that he would go and reveal his skills to Madam Xiao. She didn't know if everything would go smoothly.
Thinking about all this in the morning, Su Zhi shook her head and took a deep breath before sitting up and putting on her clothes to clean herself.
These few days, the store's business was in a bad mood, so he had to think of a way to drain the water as soon as possible.
”Madam, it rained yesterday. The road is slippery, so be careful when you go out.”
”Before General Ding left, he specially instructed me to ask you to wait at home for good news. Don't come back too late, it's easy to get tired.”
”Mm, I understand. Please go back.”
Su Zhi liked this kind of warm feeling. When people always thought of you when you were outside, you were no longer alone. You were always warm in your heart.
