Chapter 60 Let's Keep Our Voices Down
This ghost who always loved to stare at people secretly loosened his hand slightly, and Chen Tang's soul swam back.
"You're so scary!"
"What are you doing standing at the door?"
"Let me see if it's snowing outside."
"Oh?" Qi Huaijing raised his eyebrows and peeked out through the crack in the door. "Is it snowing?"
"……No."
“Oh~”
The room was warm except for a cold wind blowing through the crack of the door. Qi Huaijing reached out to close the door, picked up the man by the waist with one hand, and walked straight to the bedroom.
"It's so cold, why don't you put on more clothes?"
Chen Tang was wearing pajamas, with her long hair hanging down, and was still struggling.
"Isn't it the same for you? Hey, let me go and let me go by myself..."
Qi Huaijing raised his hand and slapped her.
"Where are your shoes?"
“…”
Along the way, Chen Tang's black hair was disheveled by him, and when he was thrown onto the bed, his cheeks were slightly red, his slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he lay on the bright red cloud-patterned quilt, which was also very captivating.
It was such a beautiful spring day, but the ghost just looked at her with a frown, stuffed her into the still warm quilt, and turned away.
Chen Tang thought it was not good, this guy must have heard the noise and went to call for punishment. Just as he was about to go over to check it out, the brocade curtain flashed and he came back.
Qi Huaijing brought a Doucai lotus petal cup, half-knelt on the bed, and handed it to Chen Tang's lips.
"It's not hot, drink it directly."
Seeing that he looked normal, Chen Tang looked at him and took two sips of warm tea from his hand.
"Thank you very much."
"Still drinking?"
Chen Tang shook his head. Qi Huaijing tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. He threw the cup away, lifted the quilt and went to bed.
"Come on, go to sleep."
Seeing that he was calm and wanted to take a nap, Chen Tang guessed that he hadn't noticed the orchid yet, so he thought it would be best for him to sleep a little longer so that he could take advantage of the opportunity...
Just as I was thinking about it, the person next to me came over again.
"Stretch out your feet, I'll warm them up for you."
The room was covered with a thick brocade blanket. Chen Tang's feet were not too cold, but the coldest part was his body, which was blown by the cold wind outside the door. From his heart to his lower abdomen, he felt a chill all over.
Qi Huaijing naturally noticed it, so he held her in his arms and kept caressing her with his hands through her soft pajamas.
He had just woken up from a morning nap... He was pressed against her body, becoming more and more like a hot potato, so hot that it was frightening.
Chen Tang was rubbed so hard by him that her whole body became limp, and her ears soon turned red. She couldn't help but curl up her toes, holding his hand, and murmured softly.
"Husband, it's already daybreak, there's someone outside the door."
Qi Huaijing undressed her slowly, kissed her blushing ears gently, and reminded her in a low voice.
"Not only is there someone outside the door, but there are also cats in our house. Should we chase them out as well?"
“…”
Shen Tang let go and took the initiative to hug his neck.
"Let's keep our voices down. I think it'll be alright."
The man smiled to himself, lowered his head and bit her.
…
The sky brightened and the clouds dispersed over Gaotang.
The tent was quiet for the first time, and both of them were sweating. Chen Tang leaned on his shoulder in a daze for a long time. When he recovered a little, he forced himself to get up and get out of bed.
"I'll go get some water."
Qi Huaijing was leaning on the pillow with his clothes disheveled, and he pulled her lazily.
“No hurry.”
"I'm done washing and going to pay my respects to the back. Please don't keep me waiting..."
"Oh."
Qi Huaijing was unrestrained just now, with a rosy look in his eyes and eyebrows, and he seemed to be smiling.
"Take a break. It's past breakfast time."
“…”
You have to get up, the orchid pot is still lying on the ground.
"Then you take a break first, it's my turn to pour you some tea."
Qi Huaijing told her not to go and grabbed her calf, but she jumped and struggled to break free. Seeing that he couldn't hold her back, he told her the truth.
"It's okay. I slept well today... I don't want to drink cat soup yet."
Chen Tang was stunned and turned back to pinch his neck.
"Well, you, you clearly... just now you tricked me into coming... so embarrassing!"
Qi Huaijing tried to grab her hand while laughing, and after struggling for a while, he finally pinned her under him.
"It's my turn this time."
…
After dinner.
Chen Tang sat on the kang, sewing a bed for the kitten while discussing what to name it.
"Husband, we can't keep calling it cat-cat-cat. It will be no different from other cats."
Qi Huaijing turned over a page of the account book and responded casually.
"Just call him Chou'er - other people's cats are rarely this ugly."
"Don't say that about it, it's a female cat, a little girl."
Chen Tang picked up a ball of thread from the sewing basket and threw it at him. Qi Huaijing didn't even raise his head, but reached out to catch it.
He casually threw the ball of string on the ground. The clown cat who was playing on the ground saw it, jumped up immediately to catch it, and played with it by rolling it around.
Chen Tang didn't expect him to name the cat anymore, so he thought of several names in a row, but he always shook his head after listening to them.
"It sounds too good to be true."
“…”
Chen Tang thought for a while and asked again: "Huai Jing, your name is nice and suitable. Who gave it to you? Is it your uncle or your wife?"
Qi Huaijing shook his head.
"Neither. It was my grandfather who gave it to me."
Chen Tang had heard of his grandfather's reputation, but he was not very familiar with him, and Qi Huaijing rarely mentioned him.
"Oh ~ Jing means beautiful light of jade. He gave you this name... He must love you very much."
Qi Huaijing hadn't seen his grandfather for a long time. Thinking of the old man's love in the past, he felt a little sad.
"The old man had a jade seal that he loved very much. When I was three years old, he took me to the study to play, but he couldn't find it after a while. When I was taking a bath at night, he found that I had hidden the jade in my clothes for the whole day. The old man thought it was interesting and named me Huaijing."
"Then why not call me Huaiyu?"
Qi Huaijing put down the account book in his hand and frowned.
"…I am a boy, but I keep calling you 'Yu'er Yu'er' all day long, like a little girl. How ugly it is!"
"Oh...that makes sense. You were given a name when you were three. What did everyone call you before you were three?"
"Well……"
Qi Huaijing was always eloquent and hesitated for once.
Chen Tang raised his eyes to look at him, "Hmm?"
Qi Huaijing looked away, "... just yell casually."
Shen Tang put down his needle and thread, holding his chin and smiling.
"Then...what kind of casual method is that?"
"...That's right, the old man calls me grandson, and my mother calls me child. It's very casual, right?"
"Oh~ it's a bit casual."
Shen Tang didn’t quite believe it. Was Madam Yue someone who would raise a child casually?
She was just thinking about it when Qi Huaijing asked her again.
"Tangtang, who gave you your name?"
"Of course it's my father. In the 10th chapter of the Book of Songs, Xiaoya, there's a line that goes, 'The flowers of the Tangdi tree are so bright, and the flowers of the Tangdi tree are so bright...' Tangdi means brother. My father gave me and my younger brother the names in advance. He probably thought I was a boy."
Chen Tang sighed as he checked the cat bed he had just sewn.
"My mother is illiterate and has never been to school, let alone knowing this story. She even thought it sounded very nice. It was only after I learned to read and write that I vaguely realized it... Dad must have been very disappointed with me since I was born. Fortunately, my mother doesn't know about this."
After hearing this, Qi Huaijing didn't say anything for a long time. He just cursed in his heart, "That sour scholar father-in-law, he not only gave a name but also made trouble. He is used to hurting people's feelings!"
Chen Tang had long been accustomed to being the most trouble-free and amiable daughter among the family's flesh and blood. She didn't care about the name, but then she thought of something else.
"Grandfather loves you so much, but he didn't come to our wedding."
Chen Tang thought, maybe it was because Qi Huaijing married her.
Otherwise, if the grandson marries his granddaughter, it would be a true marriage between relatives.
Qi Huaijing snorted coldly and closed the account book.
"He didn't come because he was sick."
He pointed to his head.
"Here, there's something wrong."
