No one noticed Xie Qingxiao's abnormality, and their attention was on Lin Xiangyi.
"I said it must be nothing," Aunt Xie said with a smile, "I went to the county town for nothing. The sun is very strong. Did you get sunburned? Your face is red. Go back and drink some water."
"Okay," Lin Xiangyi smiled and walked into the house surrounded by Xie's mother and Aunt Xie.
Everyone was talking one after another. While Lin Xiangyi was responding, he still kept an eye on Xie Qingxiao's movements.
Xie Qingxiao went into the kitchen, took out a packet of Chinese medicine, took out a clay pot, cleaned it, and put it on the stove to boil.
Then he walked out.
Lin Xiangyi thought he was going to take care of the braised food, but he looked at her with his dark pupils and said, "Are you hungry? Shall I make you some noodles?"
Before, she and Xie Qingxiao met someone selling finished noodles in the county town. This thing is a rare food nowadays. Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were not short of money, so they bought a few kilograms.
"...Okay," Lin Xiangyi replied quickly.
Xie Qingxiao turned around and went to make noodles.
Mother Xie and Aunt Xie chatted with Lin Xiangyi for a while, let her have a good rest, and then went about their own business.
Xie Qingxiao quickly prepared the noodles. Since Xie's father and mother had already had lunch, he did not make any noodles for them and only made two bowls.
Lin Xiangyi had one bowl and he had one bowl.
He scooped out the meat and placed it in front of Lin Xiangyi. Lin Xiangyi took a look and saw that her bowl had a lot of meat, while Xie Qingxiao's bowl had less.
"Thank you," Lin Xiangyi thanked him subconsciously, and his tone was quite polite.
Xie Qingxiao raised his eyes and glanced at her.
Lin Xiangyi realized that she was affected by Xie Qingxiao's attitude today and became a little polite to him, so she cleared her throat and said, "Why did you give me so much meat? Eat more."
As she spoke, she picked up the chopsticks and put the meat into Xie Qingxiao's bowl.
"That's enough," Xie Qingxiao let her put two pieces of meat into his bowl, then spoke out to stop her.
"Give me another piece," Lin Xiangyi deliberately stretched out her voice, sounding like she was acting coquettishly, and then quickly put another piece into Xie Qingxiao's bowl.
"You can finish the rest. You need more nutrition than I do," said Xie Qingxiao.
"Okay," Lin Xiangyi responded, looking at him eagerly. Is that it?
Before, if she acted coquettishly with him, he would smile, and even if he didn't smile, his expression would be much softer.
Why no response this time?
Xie Qingxiao looked very calm, lowering his head and slurping noodles.
Lin Xiangyi didn't know what to say, so she just lowered her head and ate her noodles in silence.
Xie Qingxiao ate very quickly and finished a bowl of noodles in two minutes. Seeing that she was still chewing slowly, he took her cup, poured her a glass of water and placed it next to her, then got up and went to the kitchen.
Lin Xiangyi followed him with his eyes, watching him enter the kitchen, open the earthenware jar for boiling medicine and take a look, adjust the fire, and then go to the yard to help prepare the braised food.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Xiangyi finished eating and was about to clean up the dishes when Xie Qingxiao strode over and said, "I'll clean up. You go back and rest. The medicine will take a while to get ready. I'll let it cool down and bring it to your room."
All right.
Lin Xiangyi glanced at the yard and saw that the braised food was almost done.
She listened to Xie Qingxiao and went into the house to rest.
Xie Qingxiao cleaned up the dishes and continued to work on the braised food.
Lin Xiangyi went back to her room, changed her clothes, and lay down on the bed, falling asleep. She didn't know how long it had been before Xie Qingxiao woke her up. His tone was gentle: "Take the medicine."
Lin Xiangyi's mood was not very stable due to her pregnancy. She was woken up when she was sleeping well, so she was inevitably a little angry.
"Don't disturb me," Lin Xiangyi said, pushing Xie Qingxiao's hand away, turning over and wanting to continue sleeping.
"Get up and take the medicine before going back to sleep," Xie Qingxiao patted her shoulder tirelessly, his voice coaxing.
Lin Xiangyi's mind gradually became clear. Thinking of Xie Qingxiao's abnormal attitude before going to bed, she thought he finally figured it out.
She turned over with a smile on her face, not looking at all grumpy after waking up.
Xie Qingxiao handed her the cooled medicine.
The smell of Chinese medicine was extremely unpleasant, and Lin Xiangyi found it difficult to drink it, but she also wanted to coax Xie Qingxiao, so she took the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp.
After drinking, she handed the bowl to Xie Qingxiao, who handed her the water he had prepared: "Rinse your mouth."
Lin Xiangyi took the water with a bitter face and rinsed her mouth. The smell of this Chinese medicine was really bad.
After rinsing his mouth, Xie Qingxiao took the cup of water, looked at her wrinkled face, and asked, "Do you want candy?"
"No need," Lin Xiangyi recovered and looked at Xie Qingxiao with a smile. He should not be in a bad mood anymore, right?
Xie Qingxiao stood up, his expression as calm as before: "Then you should have a good rest. Pengfei and I will go to deliver the goods and will be back later."
Lin Xiangyi: "..." You're so angry? And it hasn't subsided yet?
She said that couples should have some independent space. Is it so hard for him to accept that?
Lin Xiangyi also got angry and didn't want to coax her anymore. She turned around and went back to sleep. Her attitude changed 180 degrees and she said coldly, "I know."
Xie Qingxiao glanced at her, turned around and walked out.
Lin Xiangyi: “…” She was a carefree person. She sulked for a while and then fell asleep again.
After delivering the goods, Xie Qingxiao came back and went straight to the west room. He walked in quietly and went to the bed.
Lin Xiangyi was still sleeping, her long hair casually scattered on the pillow, her chest gently rising and falling with her breathing, and her eyelashes drooping lightly, casting a faint shadow on her eyelids.
Under the light and shadow reflected in the window, her peaceful and beautiful sleeping face made the whole room warm and peaceful.
Xie Qingxiao couldn't help but stop and watch for a while, then prepared to leave.
As a result, Lin Xiangyi woke up at this time.
Xie Qingxiao paused, sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at her.
Lin Xiangyi opened her eyes dazedly, saw Xie Qingxiao's face, yawned, and asked lightly: "Are you back?"
Xie Qingxiao: “…” Is she still angry with him?
He uttered a concise "hmm".
Seeing this, Lin Xiangyi fell silent, closed her eyes, and seemed to want to continue sleeping.
"I'm going to the back of the house to see how the master's house is being built. Do you want to go?" Xie Qingxiao said a little stiffly.
Lin Xiangyi didn't even open her eyes and said cleanly, "No."
Xie Qingxiao stared at her in silence for five seconds, then turned and left.
Lin Xiangyi didn't hear any noise. She opened her eyes and saw Xie Qingxiao went out and considerately closed the door for her.
Although she was still a little sleepy, she probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep at night, so she sat up, changed her clothes and went out.
It's already half past five, and I guess Mr. and Mrs. Xie have gone to the fields.
Lin Xiangyi prepares to cook.
Xie Qingxiao came back half an hour later and saw Lin Xiangyi squatting by the sink washing vegetables.
"I'll do it," Xie Qingxiao said as he walked over.
Lin Xiangyi dodged his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm just pregnant. I'm not disabled. I can still wash the vegetables."
"..."Xie Qingxiao stared at her solemnly.
