Chapter 33 Do you want to lie on my lap?
"Eat, aren't you hungry?"
Xu Qingwu picked up a piece of beef and put it into Zhou Zhou's bowl. Although she was smiling, Zhou Zhou naturally understood her 'death smile' after being her friend for so many years.
Zhou Zhou quickly said, "I'm just a talkative person, please don't mind it, Mr. Cen."
Cen Xihuai glanced at the beef in his bowl and said calmly, "Mr. Zhou is a true character, there's no need to be restrained."
The dishes came up one after another, and the atmosphere became much warmer with something to eat.
If Xu Qingwu and Cen Xihuai were in a relationship, Zhou Zhou wouldn't be at a loss for topics like he is now. After all, the topics that can be brought up with newlyweds are not all about past love affairs and newlywed feelings. However, these two people are in a marriage relationship and don't seem to be as familiar as him and Xu Qingwu. He didn't know what to say, and he was also afraid that he would get excited and say something out of turn like he did just now and cause trouble for Xu Qingwu.
So the topic turned to food.
Zhou Zhou cordially invited Xu Qingwu: "Hey, this brain flower looks quite smart, don't you want some?"
Xu Qingwu: "Eat more to nourish your brain."
Zhou Zhou picked up a large piece of meat and put it into the sauce. As he dipped it in the sauce, he said, "I really need to replenish my energy. You don't know what a hard life I've been through out there."
Xu Qingwu: "How can you live a hard life when you care so much about your own people?"
When Zhou Zhou talked about how he had trouble eating and sleeping abroad and was discriminated against by white people, Xu Qingwu listened to him quietly, adding a few words from time to time to prevent him from finishing his words.
Whether adding water, putting in dishes, or adding soup, neither of them needs to speak to each other, they can understand each other's meaning with just a glance or a gesture.
Zhou Zhou played his role in the meal, and although it was not lively, it was not dull either.
After the meeting, Cen Xihuai paid the bill and the three of them got off the elevator together.
When Zhou Zhou saw Cen Xihuai's Koenigsegg, he couldn't help but whistle: "Boss Cen, your car is so cool!"
"Mr. Zhou likes it?"
"I've only seen videos online before, but today really opened my eyes."
"We have a new one at home. I'll have someone deliver it to Mr. Zhou tomorrow."
"Ah?" Zhou Zhou was dumbfounded. Could this car worth tens of millions be given away just like that?
Cen Xihuai said calmly: "Just consider it as food money. Thank you for taking good care of my wife."
Zhou Zhou laughed awkwardly: "Haha... I was just kidding..."
Xu Qingwu: "..."
Zhou Zhou has to report to the hospital tomorrow, so the three of them said goodbye after dinner. Xu Qingwu and Cen Xihuai got on the car. The carriage was as silent as usual, and the car drove towards home.
Cen Xihuai suddenly asked: "Is that nanny still at the Shen family?"
"No more." Xu Qingwu said, "Then my brother came to our class to look for me and found out. He went home and made a scene, so my dad fired the nanny."
"Why haven't I heard the Shen family call you by your nickname?"
"I used to yell that when I was very young. Zhou Zhou yelled that on purpose because he hated me back then. Later, he got used to it and kept yelling that way."
"Why is it called that?"
"When I was little, I loved 100,000 Whys. My mom said I wanted to know everything, so she gave me this nickname."
“It sounds good.”
"Um?"
"Zhizhi, this nickname is very nice."
"Thanks…"
Xu Qingwu felt her face getting a little hot, so she lowered the car window to let the night breeze in.
After going to a hot pot restaurant, her clothes seemed to be marinated. After returning home, Xu Qingwu went to the bathroom to take a shower. After washing and drying her hair, it was still early, so she went downstairs to watch a movie.
When Cen Xihuai went downstairs, he saw Xu Qingwu curled up on the sofa. He walked over and the moment he saw him, he immediately sat up straight.
Xu Qingwu invited him friendly: "Do you want to watch it together?"
"Okay." Cen Xihuai asked her, "Do you want some fruit? I'll go cut it."
Thinking of the mango that was cut into pieces for easy eating last time, Xu Qingwu's eyes lit up: "Is mango okay?"
"Can."
Cen Xihuai went to the kitchen, and soon he brought back a plate of sliced mangoes and a plate of cherries.
Cen Xihuai picked up a piece of mango for her with a silver fork and asked, "Do you like mango?"
Xu Qingwu took it and said, "I like it, but I rarely eat it."
"Why?"
"Did you know that eating mangoes is considered a very private thing?" Seeing Cen Xihuai's confusion, Xu Qingwu continued, "Because eating it directly with the skin will make your hands and mouth dirty, and it may get stuck between your teeth, which is very embarrassing."
“Why not cut into pieces?”
"Because... I'm lazy."
Cutting into pieces requires peeling, washing the knife, and washing the plates and forks. The thought of such trouble has made me lose my appetite.
Cen Xihuai finally understood why he saw a single mango on the kitchen island that day.
After finishing the fruit, Cen Xihuai took the plate and fork to the kitchen to wash them, then returned to the sofa and sat down next to Xu Qingwu.
Looking at her trying to straighten her back, Cen Xihuai wondered if he had invisibly put a lot of pressure on Xu Qingwu. She was very relaxed when sitting with Zhou Zhou, but always tense when she was with him.
"Qingwu, do you want to try lying down?"
"What?"
The movie was about to see the hero and heroine meet again. She was so focused on the plot that she didn't hear what Cen Xihuai said.
"Want to lie on my lap?"
Xu Qingwu suspected that she was hallucinating, but after seeing Cen Xihuai's serious eyes, she was sure that she had not heard it wrong.
Xu Qingwu thought that Cen Xihuai probably wanted to learn how to get along like a normal couple. It was very common for them to watch movies together and lie on each other's laps.
But when it comes to them, it always feels a bit weird.
But since Cen Xihuai had said so, it would seem even weirder if she continued to sit there stiffly.
So, Xu Qingwu carefully rested her head on his thigh, very close to his knee. The heat from his leg came through the thin pajamas, and Xu Qingwu moved unnaturally.
Lying down is always more comfortable than sitting. Xu Qingwu focused his attention on the movie and gradually got used to this posture.
Halfway through the movie, the heroine and the hero are no longer friends who only see each other once a year, but begin to contact each other frequently and share each other's lives. The hero finally realizes that he likes the heroine, and the heroine also realizes that her feelings for the hero have long gone beyond friendship. The two become lovers together on this day, and the two who recognize their inner feelings kiss passionately, and then become more intimate.
Cen Xihuai hadn't come down yet during the first intimate scene. Now watching it with Cen Xihuai, Xu Qingwu felt inexplicably awkward as if she was with an elder.
Xu Qingwu made an excuse to leave briefly: "I...I'm going to drink some water."
Cen Xihuai handed her the cup of water on the coffee table, but she finished drinking it while the male and female protagonists were still not done!
"I…"
When the two looked at each other, Cen Xihuai's Adam's apple rolled, and he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Cen Xihuai put his lips against her slender neck and whispered in her ear, "Shall we do it too?"
"You promised me this week and next week...hiss..."
He took her earlobe into his mouth and bit it lightly. Xu Qingwu couldn't help but grab the pajamas on his shoulders tightly.
"Can I get an advance, Zhizhi?"
