Chapter 199 I'm Here
Xiao Wei's heart skipped a beat. He clenched his fingers and said weakly, "I saw it by accident when I went to the toilet."
Xiao Cheng glanced at him indifferently, remaining silent, his deep gaze making people afraid to look directly at him.
Xiao Wei's heart skipped a beat again. He lowered his head and pretended not to know anything; he wouldn't tell the truth.
In the past, my parents often argued and fought. After they fought, they would disappear and never come back.
Xiao Wei was afraid that Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu would also quarrel and fight, and eventually disappear.
Every time he heard a slightly loud noise outside, or the sound of a door opening, Xiao Wei would instinctively run outside and peek through a crack in the door.
Fortunately, my sister-in-law is a very gentle person. She never yells at my brother, nor does she argue or fight with him.
She would also coax her older brother like a child.
My sister-in-law is really nice.
Her hands, like her, are gentle as water, nourishing all things silently and radiating warmth at all times.
"My sister-in-law said she's not selling it."
If it were my parents, they would have been arguing non-stop by now.
Yes, my sister-in-law's cooking is really good.
Xiao Wei said in a very low voice, "You kissed your sister-in-law in front of everyone."
Before the false pregnancy was exposed, she called out to him several times in his arms, her voice filled with joy, happiness, relaxation, and longing.
Xiao Cheng looked at Bai Lu sleeping peacefully on the bed, slowly reached out and held her hand that was sticking out of the quilt.
Xiao Wei thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to answer the question in a way that would satisfy his elder brother.
Xiao Wei came home from school yesterday afternoon and was cutting grass in the backyard to feed the fish when he heard excited shouts of people rushing to buy things coming from the kitchen.
He was referring to the day his older brother celebrated his birthday, when everyone was eating together at the same table, and his older brother kissed his sister-in-law's hand.
The sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, but then Brother Sixteen, Brother Haozi, and Brother Dazhuang teased her, and she finally laughed.
It was the first time Xiao Cheng had seen Bai Lu cry, and he was a little at a loss. He raised his finger to wipe away the wetness from the corner of her eyes, but the second tear that fell burned his palm.
These words instantly triggered a long-dormant nerve in Xiao Cheng, and he stared intently at Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei mustered his courage and looked up, meeting Xiao Cheng's scrutinizing gaze: "Sister-in-law is really good to you."
He leaned back casually in his seat, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Continue."
Xiao Wei swallowed the last bite of wonton and slowly said, "Eating breakfast."
What was her reaction?
When she woke up, she didn't see that Li Xuelan had gone to see her.
Xiao Cheng knew that Bai Lu gave him his bald look, but he didn't know how he got it.
Xiao Wei had seen Bai Lu roast chestnuts many times, and Bai Lu never complained about the hardship or fatigue. Wang Cuihua, on the other hand, said she couldn't roast the chestnuts she sold herself, which was really too weak.
He returned to the bedside, took the girl's hand that was sticking out of the blanket again, and whispered, "Lulu."
Another hot tear fell from the person in his arms, burning Xiao Cheng's heart. He tightened his arms around her and pulled her closer.
Xiao Cheng paused.
Xiao Cheng gently closed the door.
"Alright, go back to sleep." The older brother gave him the order to leave, but his tone was unusually kind.
Xiao Wei's mood instantly improved. He silently picked up his textbooks and notebooks, and went back to his room to sleep under the moonlight.
My older brother and sister-in-law are husband and wife, so this little misunderstanding should be fine and doesn't need explaining.
He was so hot that he was flustered. He got into bed, hugged her trembling body, and gently patted her back to comfort her.
"Lulu, don't be afraid."
Xiao Wei hesitated whether he should explain.
Xiao Wei held up three fingers to assure her: "My sister-in-law really didn't react. She just paused for a moment, and then she laughed."
If I say I won't read books, then I won't.
"Your sister-in-law will shave it for you."
In the pitch-black night, the bright moon and stars were hidden behind the clouds, and only the increasingly gentle sound could be heard, one soothing sound after another.
Xiao Cheng frowned slightly, his gaze turning sharp.
If it were Chen Chunli, she would have started fighting long ago.
Xiao Wei was startled by his older brother's sudden, intense gaze. He was at a loss and weakly said, "No response."
As usual, the girl heard the call and her furrowed brows gradually relaxed, but what was different this time was...
"mom……"
A single tear fell from the corner of her tightly closed eyes.
As if afraid of being discovered, Wang Cuihua quickly glanced around the door and, finding no suspicious figures, whispered to Xiao Wei, "I've come to buy an electric chestnut roasting machine."
Soothe the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh tears, letting them sink back into the depths of your eyes.
Isn't it already great that my older brother can tolerate my unreasonable behavior? Why do you still ask, "How great is he?"
A soft, soothing voice: "It's alright, Lulu, be good..."
Xiao Cheng pushed open the door and walked in quietly. He saw the test paper filled with answers on the table by the window and sighed helplessly.
She keeps her word.
Xiao Wei couldn't answer that for a moment.
The warmth of their intertwined fingers traveled from their fingertips to his heart. Xiao Cheng held her hand for a long time before letting go of her hand and pulling the blanket up to cover himself.
Xiao Cheng knew, of course, that Bai Lu was very kind to him when he was drunk, but he didn't know the limits of tolerance.
The word the girl kept repeating echoed again, sounding particularly helpless in the empty room.
He got up and left.
There was a knock on the door early in the morning.
All I could do was recall the events and recount the facts: "On your birthday, you got drunk and asked your sister-in-law to shave your hair. She had never done it before and didn't know how, but you insisted and threw a tantrum."
They also heard that Bailu refused to sell.
...
How good is it?
"It's not even seven o'clock yet, why are you here so early?"
As Xiao Wei spoke, he touched the top of his head where a short hair had just grown out, and then dared to glance at the top of Xiao Cheng's head.
But now, the eldest brother, whose smile was seven times brighter than usual, seemed to have misunderstood.
Xiao Cheng was also stunned for a moment, then his lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled silently, his sharp gaze instantly vanishing.
The night was as still as water, and the wind was gentle.
"Aren't you done eating yet?" Wang Cuihua asked anxiously.
Xiao Wei felt that his older brother seemed to have misunderstood.
When Wang Cuihua saw that it was Xiao Wei who opened the door, she hurriedly asked, "Where are Brother Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu?"
Xiao Wei turned around unhurriedly, glanced at the clock in the main room, and announced at the appointed time: "Six thirty-five."
Wang Cuihua wanted to go in, but Xiao Wei blocked the door. She immediately looked pitiful and said, "Let me in so I can tell Brother Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu that roasting chestnuts is too hard and tiring. I'm not strong enough to roast that many."
"I'm here."
It's really necessary to give them a piece of my mind: "In the beginning, there was no electric chestnut roasting machine, so your sister-in-law roasted them by hand. She roasted several times more than you sell, and she never complained about how hard it was. You've only roasted a little bit and you're already complaining about how hard it is. If you're so hard-pressed, then don't sell them."
He speaks with the air of a big shot at such a young age.
Bai Lu, who had just finished breakfast, laughed when she heard this: "Xiao Wei is right. If you want to make money, how can you do it without putting in some effort? Sell as much as you can make."
As soon as Wang Cuihua saw Bai Lu, she immediately looked aggrieved: "I practiced for a long time last night, but the roasted chestnuts are still easy to burn. It's such a waste of chestnuts. The electric chestnut roasting machine will definitely not burn them. Before everyone arrives, Bai Lu, please sell me the electric roasting machine."
