Chapter 90 Lulu...
After getting drunk, you can drink yogurt, milk, honey water, hangover soup, strong tea, etc. to help you sober up.
We didn't have any of the first few things at home, but we could have a cup of strong tea. When I went to the countryside to buy chestnuts during the Qingming Festival, an aunt gave me some tea leaves. They were fragrant, sweet, and slightly astringent.
It can help with hangovers.
Bai Lu rummaged through the bags in the main house and found some tea leaves, put them in a cup, and then poured hot water from the thermos on the table.
Carrying it gently, I walked back to my room.
I swirl the cup until the tender tea leaves unfurl and the plain water gradually turns a pale greenish-yellow before placing it on the table.
He walked toward the large bed, which was already made up with blankets.
As soon as I reached the bedside, someone hugged me from behind.
The familiar, crisp scent lingered on her back, but the broad chest pressed against her was icy cold. The large hands that held hers in front of her were also cold, as if she were being embraced by a block of ancient ice. Bai Lu suddenly shivered.
She suspected that Xiao Cheng wanted to freeze her into an ice sculpture.
"There's some tea on the table that can help with hangovers. It's freshly brewed and still steaming. Drink it and it'll warm you up."
The man's breath, still slightly tinged with the smell of alcohol, brushed against her ear: "I don't want to drink."
"What would you like to drink?" Bai Lu thought the child was a bit difficult to deal with, so how about just a cup of maltose syrup?
The moment the thought arose, the arms around her waist tightened, as if trying to knead her into her very bones.
Bai Lu took a deep breath and said, "Never mind, I won't say anything more."
The boss after getting drunk is a completely different version from before he got drunk; he's both a child and a stubborn maniac, making him difficult to deal with.
Xiao Cheng leaned forward, his cool, broad chest completely enveloping Bai Lu. His warm breath spread from behind her to her fair and slender neck. Like a tiger sniffing a rose, he cautiously approached, greedily inhaling her unique scent.
Let the breath permeate the skin, every sensory cell, every nerve, and seep into the flesh and bone marrow.
Even if it meant cutting flesh and bones, they couldn't separate; even if there was a bottomless abyss ahead, they would willingly jump in with their eyes open.
"Lulu..."
Xiao Cheng gently rested his chin on Bai Lu's shoulder. Under the dim light, his incomparably handsome face was pressed against her neck, and his firm nose pressed against her throbbing neck pulse.
The faint smell of alcohol emanating from his breath filled the small space, leaving no escape or avoidance.
Bai Lu's heartbeat suddenly stopped.
My mind went blank, and I lost the ability to think. It wasn't because of anything else, but because of... those two words.
"Lulu..."
He called it again.
The voice was deep, mellow, and gentle, silently opening the door to another world in the quiet of the night.
Lulu, did you make this cake for Mommy? It's so pretty and sweet! Mommy loves it... Lulu got perfect scores in all her subjects again this semester! That's amazing! Lulu is Mommy's pride and joy. Mommy will take you to the amusement park tomorrow...
Lulu, there is not only beauty in this world, but also darkness. Go with Dad to look at some high-level case files to broaden your understanding. In the future, you won't just judge people by appearances, and you won't be so easily deceived by bad people...
Lulu, do you want to see the J-20 fighter jet dominate the air force during exercises? Do you want to see tanks pressing in? Do you want to see the people's heroes in military uniforms, holding machine guns, training to defend our country? Come on, let's go to the army with Grandpa...
Lulu, having read ten thousand books and traveled ten thousand miles, having seen the vast ocean, you won't care about petty squabbles in a pond. Go with Grandma to the Wanshulou (Bookstore) to read and practice calligraphy...
Lulu, the long arm of the law will eventually catch up with you. No matter how powerful or how far out of the country someone is, they cannot escape legal punishment even if they commit a heinous crime. The state will act as the plaintiff and send them to the Supreme Court. Grandpa will show you...
Lulu, the rose bushes at Grandma's are in bloom! Come take your mom over for a picture. They've also developed lots of new varieties of fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden, come check them out!
Lulu, when you grow up, do you want to go into business? Come visit a factory with your aunt! Do you want to know the historical price increases for various items? Your aunt will take you there…
Lulu, Uncle failed again today. Quickly go to the fish tank, scoop out a goldfish and throw it down to apologize to Uncle when he gets home, otherwise your aunt will kick him out of the house again...
Memories buried deep within surged into my mind, scene after scene crashing into my brain.
Bai Lu's eyes welled up with tears. Only her family, her loved ones, those who loved her most would call her Lulu.
Call her Lulu in the gentlest voice.
Bai Lu undoubtedly misses home, but she keeps suppressing and controlling her emotions, not letting them show.
"Lulu..."
The man's soft call came again in her ear.
The large hand that was wrapped around his front also held her hand tightly, and gradually moved to her stomach.
Bai Lu snapped back to reality in an instant. The back of her hand was warmed by the large hand that was tightly holding hers, but her palm felt icy cold.
"W-what's wrong?"
"Your stomach..."
Xiao Cheng paused for a moment, then inserted his thumb into his cool palm, while slightly curling his other four fingers together.
The voice, deep and resonant, slowly descended, completely enveloping the girl's small hand: "Very small."
Bai Lu was suddenly startled, her heart stopped beating, and she froze from head to toe, her breathing becoming so light that she almost stopped.
Is he suspicious... or has he discovered something?
It should be, probably, maybe it's just a suspicion?
If I find out, I will definitely expose her, or I will use other methods to test her and confirm before exposing her.
These past few days, he hasn't looked at her belly, even though she's been digesting her food in the yard with her belly protruding.
They must have suspected it long ago...
Is this a test?
Bai Lu's mind raced, calculating the pros and cons of confessing the truth now, as well as its feasibility.
The money I made selling roasted chestnuts during this period, plus the money I earned the first time, brought my net profit to over 7,800 yuan.
Today I bought over 9,300 jin of chestnuts, which cost me over 1,800 yuan. Now I only have 6,000 yuan left.
We are still 24,000 yuan short of 30,000 yuan. Even if we offset the cost of chestnuts, we are still more than 22,000 yuan short.
You definitely can't earn that much in a day.
Despite their remarkable achievements, the relationship between Xiao Wei and Xiao Cheng has only recently improved to the point where they can still talk and communicate.
Xiao Cheng's kindness towards her is only based on the fact that she is pregnant with his child. He might turn on her if he finds out it's a false pregnancy. It's unreliable to place all your hopes on someone else.
If Xiao Cheng finds out she faked her pregnancy, takes back all the money, and kicks her out of the house, where will she live?
If he went home, Li Xuelan would definitely not let him in.
We need to stay at a hotel; there aren't any in town.
There are hotels in the city, but it's a four- or five-hour walk away. Taking a motorcycle is faster, but it costs money, and she doesn't have any.
The most important thing right now is money, or else... I could make a fortune selling the recipe for roasted chestnuts?
Oh right, sell it to Xiao Cheng. Xiao Cheng secretly learned how to make sugar-roasted chestnuts, so I'll just give him 30,000 yuan to offset the cost.
Hmm... this method works.
Bai Lu's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down, and she cleared her throat.
She spoke with great confidence: "I..." "Be good."
What the heck?!
Suddenly interrupted by the big shot!
“My stomach…” “Lulu.” The boss interrupted again.
Bai Lu: "..."
Just as she was about to speak again, a large hand around her waist turned her around, so that she was facing Xiao Cheng. What she saw was his slightly reddened eyes, staring at her intently without blinking.
It seems like there's something to say.
