When Xu Sanlang saw Cheng Xi propping herself up with a thoughtful expression, he reached out and pulled him towards the washstand, "What are you so worried about, the water is almost cold, go and wash up."
Cheng Xi glared at Xu Sanlang, "Aren't I thinking for your sake? These are all your family, I hope there are a few good ones, so that you can have a few true relatives."
Xu Sanlang pushed Cheng Xi to the side and said, "Didn't I already have you? As long as I have you as my family. "
Cheng Xi answered as if it was a matter of course, "I won't always be with you, I will also have my own life in the future."
Xu Sanlang's face instantly darkened, and he pushed Cheng Xi who had succeeded in turning around to face himself, "You're actually thinking of leaving this entire time? So the things you said this afternoon were all lies? "
Seeing Xu Sanlang's injured expression, Cheng Xi thought of the conversation she had with Xu Sanlang in the afternoon and felt somewhat conflicted. She had dreamed that her life with Xu Sanlang would become better and better in the afternoon, as if she had forgotten that she was only living together with him. However, deep in her heart, she still believed that there would be a day when she would be separated from Xu Sanlang, and then, they would each live the lives they wanted.
But after hearing what Xu Sanlang said, Cheng Xi's thoughts became a little blurry, what kind of life did she want? Was it the life that Xu Sanlang and he had yearned for in the afternoon?
Cheng Xi who could see through everything, was actually completely clueless about matters of the heart. After being asked by Xu Sanlang in such a manner and seeing his injured expression on his face, he started to be conflicted.
Whenever Cheng Xi couldn't figure out what was going on, she would impatiently pat his head. Seeing that Cheng Xi had actually slapped his own head until it made crackling noises after she finished speaking, how could Xu Sanlang dare to continue questioning Cheng Xi about leaving? She only grabbed onto Cheng Xi's hand that was currently slapping his own head blindly, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is it my head again? "
Seeing that Cheng Xi was frowning and not saying a word, Xu Sanlang tried her best to hide her sadness and tried to keep her voice calm, but she still said with a slightly trembling voice: "Don't be like that.
With his last sentence, Xu Sanlang almost said it through gritted teeth. He finally experienced the feeling of having family, finally experienced the warmth of someone's concern. In the end, he still had to lose it, no matter how sad he was.
Cheng Xi's heart also ached a little. She raised her head and looked at Xu Sanlang seriously, and said honestly, "Actually, I don't know either, we've supported each other for over half a year, and let us go our separate ways. I think I'll be very sad too, but I don't think that in the future, we'll be husband and wife.
A hint of secret joy flashed through Xu Sanlang's heart. At least, Cheng Xi still couldn't bear to leave him, so she hurriedly replied, "Alright."
He could not force Cheng Xi any further, but he was inwardly ridiculing him for being too naive. He knew that Cheng Xi was a little girl who had not grown up, who had already slept with him for half a year and was still her big brother. In the end, she was still her wife.
The atmosphere between the two of them had finally calmed down, and Xu Sanlang continued to push Cheng Xi over to wash up, "It's getting late, hurry up and wash up and rest."
After this day, coupled with the tormenting at night, Cheng Xi was indeed a little tired. She obediently went to wash up, and laid on the bed to sleep.
With someone she was familiar with by her side, Cheng Xi did not recognize her bed at all and slept soundly. She slept until the sun rose and only woke when there was a knock on the door outside.
Xu Sanlang had already woken up, but he did not get up. He only put on his outer clothes and sat on the bed, flipping through the books that the Fourth Uncle had given him yesterday. When he heard the knock on the door, he had no choice but to get dressed and go open the door.
Cheng Xi rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked vaguely: "Who is it?"
Lady Ma's voice came from outside, "It's me, I'll bring you breakfast."
Xu Sanlang opened the door, and saw Lady Ma standing there with a tray, smiling as she said to him, "It's breakfast time now, since you guys haven't come, let me send it over."
Cheng Xi, who was in the room, twitched her mouth, thinking that this old lady was afraid that if she continued to sit at their table, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.
Xu Sanlang took the tray and replied, "Thank you, Eldest Aunt." He then turned around and carried the tray into the house. He had no intention to call Lady Ma in at all.
Lady Ma embarrassedly stood at the door, but she still forced herself to step in, and asked, "Why didn't you see Xi?"
Seeing that Lady Ma had come in just like that, while she herself was still lying on the bed, she sat up uncomfortably and donned her coat as she replied, "I slept a bit late last night, so I slept for a bit in the morning. Eldest Aunt is sitting, I'll wake up immediately."
Seeing that Cheng Xi had not gotten up from bed yet, Lady Ma did not want to stay any longer. Although she had something to ask, she could only hold it in, and turned around to leave. After that, he quickly left.
Cheng Xi got up and washed her face. Looking at the steaming hot porridge on the table, she felt that it was a pity that she was not able to sit at the same table as Xu Family Member.
However, Xu Sanlang was very satisfied that he did not have to sit at the same table as Xu Family Member.
As if they had calculated the time, after the two of them finished eating breakfast, Cheng Fang, who was carrying her daughter Niu Niu, who was two years old, came over. Seeing the two of them cleaning up the tableware, she placed her down beside the table and helped Niu Niu out, "I'll do it, help me look after Niu Niu.
Seeing Cheng Fang keep her chopsticks and bowl, she seemed to be looking forward to it.
As he inadvertently saw the clothes on Cheng Xi's body, he smiled and said, "You actually wear it much more properly than I do."
However, Cheng Xi said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, I stole Auntie's new clothes for New Year. I will make Auntie a new set of clothes in the future to compensate you."
Cheng Fang tidied up the things while replying with a gentle smile, "As long as you don't mind. You can call me Aunt, but I can't help you with anything, that's why I feel ashamed."
Cheng Xi liked the cute Niu Niu very much. After Cheng Fang cleaned up the dishes and sent them to the kitchen at the main courtyard, Cheng Xi picked up Niu Niu, who was sitting on the chair, staring with big watery eyes, and watched her mother leave.
Seeing that her own mother had disappeared around the corner, Niu Niu pursed her lips and stretched out her hand towards the direction Cheng Fang had left in, "Mother."
Cheng Xi kissed Niu Niu's soft cheeks and coaxed, "Niu Niu, be good. Mother is going to send chopsticks.
The tears that had originally come to the side of her eyes had been wiped away by her in a blink of an eye. That cute little look of hers made Cheng Xi's heart melt, and he couldn't help but kiss Little Dumpling on the face of this girl. It wasn't enough, he even reached out a hand and pinched her cheeks.
Seeing the little girl's tears flowing from Cheng Xi's pinching, Xu Sanlang could only open his mouth to stop his, "If you keep pinching his, he's going to cry."
Only then did Cheng Xi realize that his hand was a bit heavier than usual, so she immediately retracted his hand to apologize to the child, "Sorry, elder sister did not do it on purpose."
Niu Niu's pretty face finally escaped the calamity. Seeing Cheng Xi's face full of gentleness, as if she was her own mother, she hugged Cheng Xi's neck and said in a baby voice, "My face is in pain, huff."
Cheng Xi was confused, "Huu?"
Niu Niu hugged Cheng Xi's face and blew twice on Cheng Xi's face. Cheng Xi immediately understood, and lightly coaxed her while blowing on the little milk baby's cheeks that had become a little bit red, "Alright, sis will blow on Niu Niu's face, whooshing and it won't hurt anymore."
Cheng Fang, who was originally worried that Niuniu would leave him crying, returned with a bowl and chopsticks. The two of them were having fun together, not wanting to come back and see Niuniu cuddle in Cheng Xi's arms.
Seeing that Cheng Xi liked children so much, Cheng Fang was just about to say that she would be having one with Xu Sanlang, but she quickly retracted her words, ignoring the fact that Cheng Xi was not even 12 years old and was still a child. Even if she wanted to have children, she would have to wait until Cheng Xi turned 14.
Thinking about Cheng Xi's age, Cheng Fang started to associate it with him, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Cheng Xi became somewhat worried, as she really wanted to ask, but because Xu Sanlang was present, she couldn't say anything.
Waiting until they were out of the door, Xu Sanlang saw that it was quite strenuous for Cheng Xi to hug Niu Niu with his small body, so he took the initiative to go over and carry Niu Niu on his back.
Seeing Xu Sanlang carrying Niu Niu and walking in front, Cheng Fang pulled Cheng Xi a step back and whispered into Cheng Xi's ears, "Do you have a room with Xu Sanlang?"
Initially, Cheng Xi did not understand what she meant, but after being stunned for a while, she reacted, and immediately shook her head with a slightly flushed face.
Cheng Fang heaved a sigh of relief, and softly reminded her, "You are still young now, so you can't let Xu Sanlang touch you, okay? "I'll have to wait until I'm 14 years old at the very least. But sometimes this man … well, in the future, you'd better try to find a way to sleep in a different room with him."
All of a sudden, Cheng Xi was trying to popularize this knowledge. After living for two lifetimes, she was still an ignorant girl, and was a little shy. She was too embarrassed to say that she knew her, so she could only nod her head with a flushed face.
"Remember to take it to heart. This will affect your future heirs, if you become a concubine early and have a child, you are too young, it will be dangerous for you to give birth to a child, and the child will not be easy to raise. You will have to wait until you are at least fourteen, understand?"
Cheng Xi could only reply softly, "I will remember it."
Xu Sanlang walked in front, and seeing that no one was following them, he stopped and waited in front as well. Only then did the two end the conversation and quickened their pace.
Not long after, the group started to 'bump into' the people from the village again. They would always ask a few polite questions when they met them, and then get straight to the topic of gossip, causing them to be extremely annoyed. They didn't have time to react, so they could only quicken their pace, hoping to get there quickly.
