Chapter 203: Falling in Love
The second time was in the bathtub.
After it was over, Cen Xihuai came out holding the limp Xu Qingwu. She was now rosy-white and exuded a faint rose scent.
Just one look and he was ready to try again.
Xu Qingwu keenly noticed his change, crawled away from his arms, wrapped herself in the quilt and rolled to the other side, her voice hoarse: "No, I can't take another bath and my skin will be bald."
Cen Xihuai hugged her and the quilt together: "I am very good at being patient, don't worry, Madam."
What nonsense!
Just now in the bathroom, I don’t know who was doing it again and again without stopping.
If they had just gotten married, Xu Qingwu would have believed what he said, but now she is no longer as naive and gullible as she was before.
The cell phone on the bedside table vibrated. Xu Qingwu was still in the quilt like a silkworm cocoon. She asked Cen Xihuai to bring it to her.
Unexpectedly, when Cen Xihuai saw the phone interface, his face instantly turned dark.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qingwu wrapped herself in a quilt and struggled to come over.
"Your first love called you." There was so much jealousy in the words that the whole room was filled with sourness.
First love?
who?
Xu Qingwu looked at the phone screen in confusion, and then saw the two words "Zhong Kai".
The phone continued to ring. Xu Qingwu stretched out a bare arm from under the quilt, took the phone from Cen Xihuai, and swiped to answer it.
Zhong Kai looked for her just to confirm her safety. He was a little worried because he didn't receive a reply to the message he sent her before.
After ending the call, Xu Qingwu looked at the sulking man standing beside her.
I couldn't help but want to laugh.
The more I watched, the funnier it became, and then I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Cen Xihuai's face turned even darker. He lifted the quilt she was using to hide, squeezed in, and locked her hands and feet in his arms.
Very tight and fits perfectly.
He bit her small and delicate earlobe and asked sourly, "What are you talking about that makes you laugh so happily?"
Xu Qingwu was so itchy that she kept dodging: "No, I was just laughing at you."
"I?"
"Before, I saw that you didn't mind me working with Zhong Kai at all, so I thought you didn't like me."
Cen Xihuai leaned his head against her shoulder and said in a low voice, "I'm just pretending. I'm going crazy with jealousy."
"It seems you are really good at endurance~"
"Stop teasing me, wife."
Xu Qingwu moved in his arms until she was facing him. She felt that she needed to resolve any remaining issues with him first.
She likes things to be clear, not unclear.
"I don't like Zhong Kai, and he wasn't my first love."
Cen Xihuai asked, "Who is Z then?"
"What Z?"
"That dried flower book in your room has a sentence written on it that many people use to express their love. Isn't that what you wrote to your first love?"
When Xu Qingwu was making dried flowers that time, she saw that sentence, but she didn't expect Cen Xihuai to be so associative.
"When we were in our twenties, we all liked to pick out some good words and sentences. That day, I thought of the little brother who saved me at the beach. He was my first love. So, it seems that this is really written for my first love."
One less Zhong Kai, and one more little brother.
Cen Xihuai frowned and asked, "Does his name have a Z?"
Xu Qingwu nodded: "It should be his surname. I don't know his specific name, so I used Z to replace it."
"You didn't think of looking for him?"
"After so many years, I can't even remember what he looks like."
"Um."
Seeing that Cen Xihuai was still unhappy, Xu Qingwu sighed and came over to comfort him: "If he hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have a wife today. The past is in the past. I only like you now."
"Say that again."
"I like you. Xu Qingwu likes Cen Xihuai. I like you very much, especially, super much, the only one I like, and I will always like you."
Xu Qingwu repeated what he said word for word, hoping that he would not be so insecure.
Speaking of security...
Xu Qingwu remembered that she had sent a message to Cen Xihuai: "I sent you a WeChat message when I took Zhong Kai to the hospital. Didn't you see it?"
Cen Xihuai took his phone and unlocked it, and sure enough, there was an unread message.
It turned out that he was thinking too much.
He explained why he didn't read the message: "Xie Ying found the doll you wanted for Chi Chu. At that time, I was negotiating with him to let him give the doll to me."
"Chi Chu?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Then don't ask him for it. I collected that doll to give to Xiaoxiao as a birthday present. Chi Chu should have given it to Xiaoxiao as well."
Cen Xihuai was speechless for a moment: "I've got it, it's downstairs."
Xu Qingwu asked cautiously, "What conditions did you agree to?"
"A car."
Xu Qingwu: "..."
She knew it, this was a loser!
Forget it, he has a lot of cars, let him do what he wants.
Xu Qingwu recalled the day when the brothers got drunk at Zhuguang, and when she went to pick him up, he said: We are just getting married.
Cen Xihuai didn't quite remember what he said, but he absolutely couldn't say such a thing. As soon as he heard Xu Qingwu finish speaking, he went to find Xie Ying to check the surveillance.
"Forget it." Xu Qingwu quickly stopped him.
“It doesn’t count.”
Cen Xihuai was very determined to prove his innocence, so he called Xie Ying. Xie Ying was just dozing off after a tiring day when he was woken up by him.
Hearing that he wanted to adjust the surveillance, Xie Ying was almost annoyed: "It's already half past eleven, brother, can't we do it tomorrow?"
Cen Xihuai: “No.”
"I really admire you guys. None of you are normal." Xie Ying hung up the phone cursing and asked someone to retrieve the surveillance footage of that night and send it to Cen Xihuai's mobile phone.
The video progress bar dragged on for a long time before Xu Qingwu heard the complete words of Cen Xihuai.
"I like her. Who said we were just getting married..."
If someone says two words without saying them, the meaning will be completely different. Misunderstandings always happen like this.
It's actually like this.
If she had waited one less red light, she would have heard his drunken truth and wouldn't have to suffer alone for so long...
"Cen Xihuai, why didn't you tell me earlier that you liked me?"
Hearing her say this, Cen Xihuai felt even more wronged than Dou E. He told her about the day when Xu Qingwu got drunk and pretended to be a mushroom, and said that she wanted to fall in love with him slowly.
That was before she discovered that she liked Cen Xihuai...
Xu Qingwu was dumbfounded. The source of her troubles was actually that she was drunk.
It turns out that Cen Xihuai has liked her for a long time.
The person I like also likes me. This feeling is so wonderful and happy. Xu Qingwu feels so happy that she is about to float.
She looked at him with bright eyes and took the initiative to invite him: "Cen Xihuai, do you want to have a relationship with me?"
He said without hesitation: "Yes."
Although they are already married, it does not prevent them from falling in love again.
Get married first and then fall in love. This order has been explained to Cen Xihuai by kind-hearted netizens on the forum. They call it getting married first and then falling in love, which is quite popular.
Hearing his answer, Xu Qingwu smiled so much that her eyes almost curved into the moon: "Then today is our first day."
Cen Xihuai didn't understand: "What do you mean by first day?"
"It's the first day of love."
"no."
Xu Qingwu was very puzzled by his answer. He had already agreed to date her, and they had expressed their feelings to each other today. According to the normal process, today was the first day.
Xu Qingwu sat up from the bed, frowned, and asked him, "Why?!"
