Chapter 20 Love Talk

"You don't even pick the fruit, what are you looking at?"

Chen Xiangbei noticed his gaze and asked with a curled lip.

Liang Ziqiang was reluctant to look away. After all, he was going to marry his wife sooner or later, so why should he be allowed to look at her? He said in a high-sounding manner, "I'm afraid you'll fall off the stool, so I'll keep an eye on you!"

"You have so many excuses!" she said unhappily.

However, there are some things that really cannot be said casually. Just as the two of them finished talking, Chen Xiangbei went to reach a carambola that was high up. Because he stood on tiptoe too high, his body lost some weight and swayed, and he really lost his balance and fell down.

If he really fell to the ground, his face would probably be broken and bleeding.

Liang Ziqiang was behind her. He rushed over and hugged her from behind before she fell to the ground.

Both of them had sweat in their palms.

"See, it's a good thing I was watching!" Liang Ziqiang did not forget to make a hindsight comment.

Chen Xiangbei struggled instinctively: "It was your stinky mouth that said that!"

The key point is that it would have been fine if Chen Xiangbei didn't struggle, but as soon as her body started twisting, Liang Ziqiang suddenly felt that his life was about to end.

The blood was pumping rapidly. It was impossible to say that there was no reaction.

Chen Xiangbei seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with him, and her face, which had been red a second ago, was now almost bleeding.

She almost gritted her teeth and said, "It's all right, why don't you let go?"

His voice was almost trembling, and with his red face, Liang Ziqiang just thought his wife was too cute! Liang Ziqiang had originally planned to let her go, but seeing her cute appearance, he didn't want to let go.

He was also sure that everyone was walking separately, and his mother-in-law, sister-in-law and others were picking fruits somewhere else, some distance away from here.

After a quick thought, he suggested:

"I've picked almost all the fruits from this tree. The only fruits left are those at the top. You can't pick them even if you stand on a stool, right? I have a good idea. I'll hold you in my arms. I'm definitely much higher than standing on a stool. I can definitely pick the fruits at the top!"

Chen Xiangbei's instinctive reaction was to resist, but she herself didn't know what was going on in that instant, and she agreed to his suggestion...

So, not only was she not put down, but she was held up high by him, and his hands reached out to the star fruits high up.

After picking a dozen carambolas, she felt his head getting closer and closer to her waist, and his heavy breathing made her feel uneasy.

She began to regret her decision: "No more picking, put me down quickly, I'm going to my mom's place, she's still waiting for me to pick some dragon fruit!"

As soon as the words came out, Liang Ziqiang felt a strong familiar taste.

Every time he came to her house and they were alone together, she would use this escape trick without exception and slip away!

"Okay, if you don't want to pick it, then don't pick it."

Seeing that she said this, Liang Ziqiang couldn't bear to tease her anymore and let her go from his arms reluctantly.

The two planned to go to another orchard to pick dragon fruit.

The carambolas had already filled several baskets and were all poured into two large bamboo baskets. At this moment, Liang Ziqiang was carrying the bamboo baskets, swaying back and forth, with Chen Xiangbei following behind him.

He deliberately slowed down his pace and waited until Chen Xiangbei came forward, and then they walked side by side.

"Xiang Bei, does your so-called second aunt often come to your house to disgust people and mention her shitty nephew?"

It was a rare opportunity for the two of them to spend some quiet time together, and Liang Ziqiang decided to use this topic to have a good chat about their future private affairs.

In fact, he was 100% confident about Chen Xiangbei. In his previous life, he was imprisoned for two whole years. During those two years, there were many aunts and uncles who discouraged Chen Xiangbei and recommended various "nephews" to her.

Faced with such temptation, and her family's somewhat disappointment with Liang Ziqiang, she persisted under tremendous pressure, and waited until he was released, and was determined to marry him.

In this life, he is even less worried that Chen Xiangbei will be moved and change her mind because of Liu Mei's lobbying.

However, even though he was relieved, now that he had the chance, he still wanted to have a formal chat with her alone.

At least let her know that her persistence can be responded to by him. This time, she will not love so desperately alone without saying anything.

"I have mentioned it several times before." Chen Xiangbei seemed to feel that it was necessary to explain it to him, so she said:

"She said that her nephew passed by my house and saw me. However, I have no impression of him at all. I don't know him and I don't want to know him."

"Liu Mei really talked to you about this directly?"

"Yes, she told me at the beginning. Later, I avoided her and didn't want to see her. Whenever she came, I would close the door and go into the inner room. She couldn't talk to me, so she went to find my mother again. To be honest, sometimes I think my second aunt is quite annoying.

I didn’t find her so annoying before, but ever since she introduced that nephew over and over again, the more I see her, the more I think she’s so annoying.”

Chen Xiangbei usually doesn't talk much, but this time, in order to explain it clearly to him, she said so much in one breath.

Liang Ziqiang has been listening. The more she explains, the more it shows that she cares about him in her heart. "Xiangbei, in fact, it is also my own fault that those gossips came to your house to steal my girlfriend." He said earnestly.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Ah?" Chen Xiangbei panicked when he suddenly blamed himself, and couldn't figure out what he meant.

Liang Ziqiang continued:

“Really, I think I didn’t do well enough before.

My family is not well off, and you have known this since the first day of our blind date. For more than a year, I have been working hard to save money. I thought that once I had saved enough money, I could marry you in a dignified and glorious way, and everything would be fine.

But I overlooked something. In the past year or so, I should have told you about my money saving. But because I didn't know anything, I kept silent and didn't tell you in time. Besides, I was busy fishing and came to your house less often.

In this way, others may see it and take advantage of it!"

After listening to him speak seriously, Chen Xiangbei finally understood.

In fact, this was the second time she had heard similar words from him today. Liang Ziqiang had expressed similar ideas when he was communicating with her parents and brother at noon. At that time, she pretended to be serving dishes and rice, but she was actually listening carefully with her ears perked up! However, there were some words that she never seemed to get tired of hearing.

He told her in person how hard he worked to save money and how he planned to marry her. As she listened, she felt her mood suddenly become like the white cloud in the sky, which has no wings but can fly.

"Xiang Bei," Liang Ziqiang called her and said seriously, "In a few months at most, I will be almost ready. I will definitely come to marry you within this year!"

"Oh!" Chen Xiangbei didn't know whether she couldn't stand his direct gaze or his straightforward words. She turned her blushing cheeks away and ran forward quickly.

While running, she threw over a sentence: "Who said you're in a hurry to get married?"

Liang Ziqiang didn't care, he caught up with her carrying the fruit basket and whispered in her ear:

"In the months before we get married, I will come to your house every now and then to see you!"

Chen Xiangbei ran again and said in reply, "Who asked you to come and see me every few days? Aren't you afraid that Da Huang will chase you and bite you again?"

Looking at the slim figure running in front, Liang Ziqiang suddenly felt playful.

"It chases me and bites me, so I'll chase you and bite you!"

He barked at her twice, carrying the fruit basket and pulling the long vertical ropes at both ends of the carrying pole, and ran behind her. It seemed that the two baskets on his sides were not two baskets, but his two wings.
