"Zhuang Zhuang, who is this?" The grandma's eyes did not look too good. She squinted for a long time, but could not find the right direction.
The robust man lowered his head and looked at his grandma before replying seriously, "The village chief said that guests will come from afar today and that they are now coming to our house."
The old granny suddenly realized something and nodded. "Then Zhuang Zhuang, quickly pour some tea for my aunt and uncle. Let them sit down."
The strong man jumped down from the brick bed, and just as he was about to fill the kettle, Chu Liang said, "No need, thank you."
The strong man raised his head and looked at Chu Liang. Chu Liang bent down and rubbed his small head, saying in a soft voice, "We've already eaten, so we don't drink tea."
Mighty turned his head and glanced at his grandma, then decided to boil the water.
Chu Liang walked in the direction of his grandma and asked in a soft voice, "Grandmother, can you let us stay here for the night?"
Fu Jinchen glanced at Chu Liang in surprise, only to find that her eyes were filled with seriousness.
The old granny looked at Chu Liang in surprise and sighed, "My house is dirty and messy, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain the distinguished guests."
"It doesn't matter." The corners of Chu Liang's mouth curved into a faint smile. He turned his head to look at Fu Jinchen and said, "We're not afraid of dirt."
The Village Chief walked over and told the old granny a few things. Because he was worried, he even specially brought two quilts from the neighboring house.
"This is the house of the strong parents, so I'll have to trouble you to stay here today."
Chu Liang and Fu Jinchen exchanged a glance. Fu Jinchen opened his mouth, "It's alright."
Mighty Grandmother specially made a blanket for them before she turned around and left.
Chu Liang and the others' luggage were also brought over. After she opened the box, she saw the chocolates inside.
Chu Liang's recently weakened physique could occasionally feel hypoglycemia. She picked up the chocolate, glanced at Fu Jinchen, and said, "Here, let's eat this for Zhuang Zhuang."
Before Fu Jinchen could say anything, Chu Liang walked out with a box of chocolates.
"Mighty." Chu Liang finally saw the strong man washing the dishes in front of his house. He squatted down in front of him and said with a smile, "Here's some chocolate for you."
"Chocolate?" His large eyes revealed a hint of doubt, then he saw the heart-shaped box in Chu Liang's hand. Inside was a chocolate box wrapped in gold foil, his eyes were filled with excitement.
"Can I really eat?" The strong man was a bit uncertain, so he asked again. Chu Liang nodded and touched his strong hair, "I'll give it all to you to eat."
After the strong man was done cleaning up, he returned to his room and excitedly shared the fun with his grandmother while pointing at Chu Liang, "It was aunty who gave this strong man a chance."
"Did you thank him?" The strong grandma touched the strong guy. Only then did the strong guy remember. He ran in front of Chu Liang and seriously bowed, "Thank you Auntie."
Chu Liang smiled lightly and returned to his room. Seeing Fu Jinchen taking off his clothes, he coughed and turned his head away. "Are you ready to sleep?"
Fu Jinchen acknowledged with a "hmm". In the house of the strong parents, there was only a broken television and no signal. After they entered the mountain, their phones were all disabled.
Chu Liang picked up his pajamas and hesitated for a moment. He felt a little embarrassed to change his clothes in front of Fu Jinchen.
Fu Jinchen glanced at Chu Liang and frowned, "What are you thinking about?"
Chu Liang regained his composure and blushed. He tried his best to speak in a natural tone, "It's nothing."
"If you really feel uncomfortable, I'll go out."
After he finished speaking, Fu Jinchen stood up and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
When Chu Liang saw this, he could not help but feel warm in his heart. Fu Jinchen was still the same as before, always taking care of his own feelings.
Chu Liang quickly changed into his pajamas, and after a while, he walked out of the house. He saw the strong man in the yard again.
"Auntie, do you want to take a bath?" The robust man raised his head and looked at his aunt, then pointed at the simple temporary room. "The water here is limited and can only be washed occasionally."
Chu Liang thought for a while and nodded her head, but in her heart she was thinking about how difficult the conditions were. After washing up on the first day, she would try her best to hold on for the next few days.
After Fu Jinchen finished washing the words, he walked out with his upper body bare. When he saw Chu Liang, he smiled with a hint of incomprehension. "Hurry up."
Chu Liang's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Fu Jinchen in astonishment. He lowered his voice and asked, "Are you sure you want to be here? There are still children …"
Before Chu Liang could finish his words, Fu Jinchen pressed his index finger to his lips. With a helpless smile, he said, "I was just teasing you."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the house. Chu Liang stared blankly at Fu Jinchen's back, his face turning even redder.
When Chu Liang regained his senses, he was slightly vexed. He was already an old man yet he was still being played around by Fu Jinchen.
Chu Liang quickly took a shower and washed his dirty shoes before leaving them at the door to dry.
Very soon, the sky darkened as well. Chu Liang returned to his room and saw Fu Jinchen holding his phone, reading something.
Chu Liang wiped his hair and walked to his side, "There's a signal?"
Fu Jinchen tilted his head and glanced at Chu Liang. "No."
"Then what are you looking at?" Chu Liang looked at the mirror on the cabinet. Although he couldn't see anything clearly, he could vaguely make out a shadow.
Fu Jinchen put away his phone and glanced at Chu Liang. "I was thinking that apart from the news, I don't seem to have a photo with you."
Chu Liang paused for a moment. Then, Fu Jinchen grabbed Chu Liang from behind and took a picture with his phone.
While Chu Liang was still in a daze, he had already loosened his grip and lowered his head to admire the photo.
Chu Liang also took a glance and noticed that his expression wasn't very good. He frowned, "What kind of direct camera technique is this?"
"What?" Fu Jinchen frowned slightly. Chu Liang pursed his lips into a smile, took his phone, and pressed his face close to Fu Jinchen.
"When I say 123, put on an expression."
Chu Liang's voice was calm. After that, he started the countdown. When he counted to three, Fu Jinchen suddenly turned his head and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Chu Liang was stunned, but he still subconsciously pressed down on the photo.
This scene was preserved in Fu Jinchen's phone.
Fu Jinchen glanced at the photo and put away his phone with satisfaction, "Alright, let's go to sleep."
Fu Jinchen crawled into the blanket and felt that it was slightly damp due to the long and gloomy rain. Chu Liang also felt the same way when he crawled into the blanket.
Suddenly, his blanket was lifted and Chu Liang raised his head to meet Fu Jinchen's eyes. He looked at Chu Liang and the corner of his lips curled up slightly. With a matter-of-fact tone, he said,
"Since it's so cold, let's sleep together and get warm."
