Chapter 46 Running wild
Chen Tang looked at the bunch of wild flowers and liked them very much. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He found a ceramic vase and placed the bouquet of flowers in a prominent place in the room.
The combination of the simple pottery vase and the fluffy wild animal is quite charming.
As soon as Qi Huaijing came back, Shen Tang immediately grabbed him, his eyes seemed to be shining.
"Sanlang, guess who came to our house today?"
Qi Huaijing was very happy to see that she was in such good spirits after being ill for so many days. He looked around and saw the bouquet of flowers at a glance, and suddenly took a breath.
"It can't be... Lidong's wife..."
Chen Tang was stunned. He really didn't expect that he could guess so accurately.
"Hey, how did you know? Did Lidong tell you?"
"That's not the case..."
He plucked a small flower from the weeds with a hint of disdain.
"... Such a strange thing, it seems like something his wife could send."
He glanced at Shen Tang again.
"Only you can put it out there seriously."
Chen Tang cried out “Ouch” and slapped his hand that was pinching the flower.
"There are only a few flowers to begin with, stop picking them! Look, what beautiful flowers they are! This is a gift from someone to me."
Qi Huaijing looked disapproving.
"What's the point of being polite? There are gifts everywhere on the roadside. His wife must have picked some on the way here. I heard from Lidong that his wife never comes empty-handed whether she is seeing a doctor or meeting someone. She must give someone something - whether it's good or not is another matter, but there must be something."
"oh?"
Chen Tang immediately became curious, "Have you also met Doctor Feng?"
"Of course. They invited me to their wedding."
"So what did she give you?"
Qi Huaijing's expression suddenly became indescribable.
"You want to know?"
"think!"
Chen Tang could see that Feng Xi was a person who didn't care about anything, so he wanted to know what kind of gift she would give to Qi Huaijing, who was very particular about everything.
Qi Huaijing recalled some bad memories and his face became a little grim.
"A... toad."
"ah!!!"
Chen Tang's expression was hard to describe.
Qi Huaijing looked at her slightly twisted eyebrows and added while holding back his laughter.
"Alive."
"Eh!!!"
"She said it was an excellent medicinal herb and it was very nutritious to eat."
"Then then then...then you...do you have..."
Chen Tang looked at Qi Huaijing, who was so delicate and picky about food, and found it hard to imagine him eating a toad bite by bite.
Qi Huaijing reassured her.
"I didn't eat it. I gave it to Lidong at that time."
Shen Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked carefully again.
"Then Lidong...did he eat it?"
Qi Huaijing's expression became hard to describe again.
"He said he didn't eat it—he raised it."
“Aa ...
In addition to being surprised, Chen Tang suddenly felt a little relieved.
"Luckily, fortunately, she gave me such beautiful flowers, which are much better than some damn toad."
Qi Huaijing took another look at the messy flowers, his eyes full of disgust.
"What's so good about this flower? It's everywhere on the roadside."
Shen Tang remembered his idea and deliberately stretched out his voice slowly.
"Oh - really? It turns out it's such a common flower... but I've never seen it before."
Qi Huaijing was sitting on the kang, picking up the teacup and about to drink, but after hearing this, he looked at her in disbelief.
"I've never seen such a common flower. It grows in large patches in the wild outside the city. How could you have never seen it?"
Chen Tang sat down opposite him, propped his forehead with his hand, and sighed deeply again.
"You don't know my family yet? Daddy is very strict and old-fashioned. He rarely lets me go out. Sometimes when my wife visits relatives, like visiting your house, she takes us out. We always take a car when we go, and we are rarely allowed to look outside. We can only climb the mountains when we go to the temple to burn incense at the end of the year. It's winter now, and the mountains are bare. There's nothing to see."
Qi Huaijing couldn't bear to hear this and felt a little pity.
"Poor little girl, she has grown up staying in your yard."
Shen Tang frowned slightly and nodded aggrievedly.
"That's right! She even rode in a sedan chair on her wedding day. From our Shen family to your Qi family, we just moved to a bigger courtyard..."
She used a handkerchief to hide the non-existent tears in the corners of her eyes.
"…I am so pitiful. I have never been to any good places, and I have never seen any beautiful scenery."
Qi Huaijing had understood it a long time ago, but he deliberately held the cup and drank the tea slowly, watching her act coquettishly and try different tricks.
Chen Tang was waiting for him to finish his tea before talking, but he took his time, took a sip, then another sip, and then another sip...
She couldn't wait any longer, so she leaned over and took his teacup.
"Cousin, it's your turn to speak!"
There was a hint of puzzlement in Qi Huaijing's tone.
"Hmm? What did you say?"
"Just...just...humph! Don't you claim to be the one who can see through me the best? Now you don't know what to say?"
"Oh? I didn't see through it this time. What should I say?"
"……snort!"
Qi Huaijing looked at her cute and adorable face and couldn't help clapping and laughing, then he pulled her to sit in his arms.
"Why don't you just say you want to go out and play? Is it worth going through so much trouble?"
Chen Tang was confident.
"No, no, no, Doctor Xiao Feng said that I'm sick and need to go out more to get better."
Qi Huaijing still wanted to tease her, so he frowned and shook his head.
"No, no, no, I remember the previous doctor said that you need to rest for your illness, so you'd better not go out!"
Shen Tang immediately retorted.
"The doctors before were not as good as Dr. Xiao Feng! Dr. Xiao Feng not only treats people, but also horses. He is much better than those old men!"
Seeing that she was a little anxious, Qi Huaijing smiled and nodded.
"Well, since the doctor has said so - it's harvest time, so we should go to the farm. The sky is high and the road is long, so let's go and have some fun together."
This was exactly what Shen Tang wanted, her eyes lit up, she leaned over and kissed him, but she couldn't help but ask again.
"Really? Really? Are we really going?"
Qi Huaijing motioned for her to come closer and lowered his voice in her ear.
"It's fake. We won't go."
Chen Tang: “…”
Even though she knew he was teasing her, Shen Tang still played along and stood up in feigned anger.
"Humph, you big liar, if I had known I wouldn't have kissed you."
When she was about to get up, Qi Huaijing smiled and didn't let go, pulling her back into his arms.
"Well, I'll give it back to you."
As he said that, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
Ever since Chen Tang fell into the water and fell ill, the doctors said she needed to rest. He took the trouble to watch her take medicine and get dressed, fearing that she would catch a cold again. He had not dared to act recklessly for a long time.
It was rare to see her in such good spirits today, and the kiss became more and more passionate and he really wanted to let go.
