The noise around him was getting louder and louder. Xiaojie couldn't help but open his eyes and tried hard to suppress the itch in his throat.
He quietly reached out and touched his dry lips. It turned out that it was not an illusion. He thought he had become so perverted.
Retracting his finger, Xiao Jie had only one thought in his mind, 'He really deserves a beating'. Sang Bao was so young, and his thoughts were full of messes.
The fourteen-year-old boy's face was filled with shame and anger, and his anger had subsided a lot. Even though he was such a good-tempered person, he wanted to stand up and slap Sangsang's butt hard.
"Is this what you two siblings talked to me about in private?" Ningxia glared angrily.
Lin Yi shuddered, not understanding how the fire had reached him.
"It was him!" Sangsang pointed mercilessly, "He was the one who told me..."
"Sangsang!" Lin Yi stopped him with his eyes. If Xia Xia knew that he told Sangsang that Brother Tang wanted to be her brother-in-law, he would be finished tonight!
Sangsang got the signal, but she didn't say it out loud. The topic turned back to the couple's affairs. "Tell me! What did I do wrong? Isn't Brother Xiaojie my husband?"
She pouted, her face full of arrogance. Not only was she not afraid, but she became even more powerful. Judging from her posture, if Ningxia didn't give her an explanation, she would not give in.
"You still say that!" Ningxia raised her hand and slapped her on the butt, with a crisp and loud "slap".
"Why are you hitting me! Wow wow wow! What did I do wrong?!"
"Don't cry!"
Seeing Sangsang being beaten, Lin Yi felt relieved instead. It would rather my fellow Taoist die than let me die.
"Sister Xia Xia..." He hesitated and wanted to speak.
"Shut up! I'll deal with you later!" Ningxia said, raising her hand and slapping her again. The little girl looked at her stubbornly, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Sister Xia." A weak voice came from the bed.
"You shut up too!" Ningxia turned around again as if she had seen a ghost, "Xiao Jie? Are you awake?!"
It would be strange if you guys couldn’t wake me up after making so much noise, Lin Yi complained to himself.
"Ahem... um... Sister Xia, Sang Bao is ignorant..."
"Waaaaa...Brother Xiaojie...waaaaa...Xia Xia is unreasonable, she hit me...waaaaa..." Sangsang suddenly found her backbone, flew to the bed, held Xiaojie's head and cried sadly.
Seeing Sangsang's cute and lively features twisted into a ball, Xiaojie suppressed his smile and said, "Sister Xia, thank you for saving me..."
He calmly changed the subject. "Forget it, just give her a hand. She's just a child, so I'll just teach her slowly."
"You scared me to death! I'm glad you woke up! Wait, I'll get you a glass of water!"
"I'll go, Sister Xia Xia!" Lin Yi took over the topic, quickly turned over and got out of bed. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mu Yuanqing's hand about to raise to knock on the door.
"It's such a lively night!" Mu Yuanqing's face was still filled with a big smile.
Ningxia sat beside the bed and asked Xiaojie if he felt unwell. Seeing the visitor, she rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Are you awake, young man? Come and see your aunt. I want to see what's going on with Sangsang's husband."
As soon as these words came out, the three faces beside the bed turned to face her, their expressions were not friendly, and then a slipper came towards her.
She smiled and dodged, not caring at all. She softened her tone and said to Sangsang, "Come here, Sangsang. Auntie Qing will tell you a story, okay?"
Sangsang had stopped crying, her eyes and eyebrows were red, and she looked extremely pitiful. "Oh~"
She responded and was about to stand up and walk over, but she didn't know what she thought of. She turned to Xiaojie's pale face and her eyes fell on Xiaojie's dry lips. After thinking about it, she didn't dare to look, and her eyes lingered.
Xiao Jie looked at her and thought to himself that something was wrong. Before he could react, he felt a warm touch on his forehead, followed by a loud and heavy "bo" sound.
"Have a good rest, Mr. Brain!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran away. It was not until she saw a pair of small hands around Mu Yuanqing's thighs that she dared to look back at Ningxia provocatively.
"I'm not going to let you down, am I?! I'm going to beat you to death tonight!!" The fire in Ningxia's eyes seemed to have substance, burning people.
Xiao Jie hadn't recovered from the soft touch on his forehead yet, and he almost got his neck hurt when Ningxia suddenly stood up.
He closed his eyes in despair. Why should he wake up and meddle in other people's business? What's there to teach a child? Just beat him up.
"I'll talk to her! Calm down." Mu Yuanqing said quickly, "Okay, go to sleep. Don't scare us Qingtian."
When Liu Qingtian heard his own name, he said "ah" twice out of courtesy.
Mu Yuanqing took Sangsang to the sofa.
Ning Xia smoothed her hair and looked back to see Lin Yi still standing there. She was furious and said, "Didn't you go get some water?!"
"Oh, oh! I'll go right away." Lin Yi trotted out. It was really a fire in the city.
The room fell silent again.
"Sorry, Sister Xia...I just made that ring up for fun..."
"It's none of your business. The little bastard can't learn a few words in a day. He just thinks about nonsense." Ningxia suppressed her anger and reached out to straighten Xiaojie's quilt.
"How do you feel now?"
"It's okay...just a little sore in the back."
How could it not hurt without anesthesia? Ningxia felt pity for her, "It's okay! Just take some time to recover. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow."
"Excuse me, Sister Xia... How is Brother Liao?"
"He's fine, just a little injured in the arm. I guess he should be recuperating in the camp now!"
"That's good. You said you were the same. Why are you following me out here at such a young age?"
Xiao Jie smiled sheepishly, "Don't you have to join the military when you become an adult? I thought I'd do some work to save some time so that my naturalization process will go more smoothly."
Ningxia's eyes fell on the birthmark on the back of Xiaojie's neck. She wanted to ask something but couldn't open her mouth. Forget it, let's wait until he recovers from his injury. He will have to stay with her for two or three months anyway.
"Brother Jie, water!" Lin Yi considerately poured him a glass of honey water.
Ningxia gave him an approving look.
"I'll just drink plain water."
"Okay, don't be polite. We have plenty at home. Le Zheng sent a big bucket over a few days ago! You're already sick and eat bland food, so your mouth has no taste. It's good to drink something sweet."
"Thank you, Sister Xia." Xiao Jie was really thirsty, and drank half of the cup in one gulp.
"Go to sleep." The room became quiet again.
Ningxia actually regretted taking action. She was just angry at the girl's attitude.
After arguing for so long, it seems like she didn't teach me anything. The key is that she doesn't know how to say it. Raising a child is so difficult!
Just as I was thinking about it, the bedroom door opened quietly, and a small figure stood quietly at the head of Ningxia's bed.
Ningxia turned around suddenly and was almost scared to death, "What are you doing!"
Sangsang didn't answer.
"Aren't you cold standing there? Come in quickly."
"Oh~" Sangsang carefully crawled to the innermost part and lay down. Liu Qingtian was already fast asleep.
"Xia Xia, I'm sorry..." The room was silent for a while, and Sangsang suddenly spoke.
