Chapter 137 Daily Life of Couples 2
As expected, only the old man and woman were having breakfast at the Zhou family's dining table that morning.
Zhou Kanghui always sleeps until he naturally wakes up, and eats whenever he gets up; he almost never has breakfast on time.
The son, grandson, and granddaughter-in-law hadn't gotten up yet, and Yu Minhua and Zhou Qisheng didn't ask. They just ate breakfast when it was time. They weren't children anymore; they would come out to find food when they were hungry.
It was snowing outside, but the house was heated, so the two elderly people couldn't go out for a stroll. After breakfast, they stayed home watching TV, listening to the news, and drinking tea to pass the time.
Ye Lingzhi and Assistant Chen have rooms here. They got up early and, seeing that their respective bosses hadn't gotten up yet, they went about their own business.
In the room, Lin Yi'an pushed the man on top of her and said, "I want to get up." She realized her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke.
Zhou Mingshi loosened his grip on her slightly: "You lie down, I'll go get you breakfast."
Lin Yi'an didn't move. While watching him get dressed, she said, "I need to look at Master's medical records this morning. You can play by yourself and don't disturb me."
Zhou Mingshi paused in buttoning his shirt, then chuckled, "Yi'an is treating me like a child?"
Lin Yi-an said frankly, "You can be quite childish at times."
Zhou Mingshi put on his pajamas, walked over, bent down, and pinched her nose: "You're the first person to say that to me."
Lin Yi'an said insincerely, "Then I'm sorry."
Zhou Mingshi chuckled: "Tone down the smile on your face a little, and you'll seem more sincere."
Lin Yi'an immediately straightened her face: "You've toned it down? Is that enough sincerity?"
Zhou Mingshi joked, "If you didn't know better, you'd think I'd done something wrong and that's why you were giving me the cold shoulder."
Lin Yi'an lightly kicked him, accusing him of taking advantage of a little kindness.
He grabbed her foot, his eyes bright: "I bet I'm the first person you've ever kicked."
She's always been steady and wouldn't kick anyone, but he's no ordinary person.
Lin Yi-an: "It seems so."
Why kick someone for no reason?
"It's my pleasure." Zhou Mingshi smiled at her and tucked her feet into the blankets. "I'll go get you breakfast."
"...You're so happy after being kicked?" Lin Yi'an asked in confusion, then sat up and said, "I'm going out to eat. The longer I lie down, the less I want to get up."
The two walked out of the room, and the family cook saw them come out and went to the kitchen to bring out breakfast.
The two sat down, and Zhou Mingshi placed a peeled egg on her plate: "Eat the egg."
Lin Yi'an hummed in agreement, picked up the egg, and slowly began to eat. She had burned a lot of energy in the morning, and it was almost nine o'clock, so she was a little hungry. After finishing the egg, she drank a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and was also tricked by Zhou Mingshi into eating two small crab roe buns and half an ear of corn.
She patted her stomach: "I ate a little too much without realizing it." She usually only eats until she's about 80% full.
Zhou Mingshi: "It's fine to have one now and then."
Lin Yi'an nodded: "Don't dwell too much on things that have already been done, otherwise it will easily exhaust your mind. The same goes for eating. Although you should pay attention to health, there is no need to be deliberate about it."
Zhou Mingshi: "That makes sense."
Zhou Kanghui yawned as he came out of the room. He was surprised to see his son and daughter-in-law sitting at the dining table: "It's Wednesday today. Why is Mingshi still at home? Isn't he going to work?"
Zhou Mingshi and Lin Yi'an had finished breakfast and were about to get up when they heard his words. They said calmly, "Can't I rest at home for a day?"
Zhou Kanghui: "...No, not at all."
He thought to himself, if he wants to rest, who can stop him? Hasn't he been working overtime for over a month himself?
Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "Dad."
Zhou Kanghui replied with a smile, "Is Yi'an also taking a break today?"
My daughter-in-law is so much better. Every time I talk to her, she's all smiles. It's not like I'm talking to my son. It's like I owe him billions and he's never going to pay me back. He never gives me a nice look.
Lin Yi'an: "Mm."
Zhou Kanghui said enthusiastically, "I just saw it's snowing outside. It's cold. How about we have hot pot for lunch?"
He has a eclectic palate and can handle spicy food. Since his son and daughter-in-law moved back in, he wants to eat hot pot, but he can only eat out. The ingredients outside aren't as fresh as those prepared at home, so he doesn't really like them.
Lin Yi'an laughed: "Okay, tomorrow, Grandpa and Grandma can't eat spicy food, so let's prepare a chicken soup base for them."
She can't actually eat spicy food either, but she's a bit better than Zhou Mingshi; she can tolerate mild spice, and her father-in-law can only tolerate mild spice as well.
After she finished speaking, she went to the study to read.
Zhou Mingshi sat idly in the living room, chatting with his grandparents. After sitting for more than an hour, Yu Minhua said to her grandson, "Bring some fruit over to An'an. He can't just keep reading; he needs to balance work and rest."
Zhou Mingshi carried some fruit to the study door, turned the doorknob, and found the door locked from the inside...
He chuckled. Who was he trying to guard against?
He gently knocked on the door with his fingers.
Her soft voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Zhou Mingshi: "It's me."
Lin Yi'an: "What is it?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Grandma said to let you rest for a while before watching, and to make sure you have a balance between work and rest."
After he finished speaking, there was no reply from inside, but footsteps approached from afar. A moment later, the door opened, and he looked at the person inside: "Why is the door locked from the inside?"
Lin Yi'an remained expressionless: "I didn't notice. It was probably a subconscious action. I lock the door after closing it. Isn't that how everyone does it?"
Zhou Mingshi glanced at her, carried the fruit into the study, placed it on the desk, and said in a very gentle tone, "Yes, that's how it is, so there's no need to explain. I don't mind."
Lin Yi'an: "......"
His meaning was clearly that explaining was a cover-up.
Okay, she admits she is.
He is too.
He says he doesn't care, but who knows how much he cares in his heart.
So even if it's a cover-up, she still has to explain; at the very least, she doesn't want him to be angry...
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that way, so she said, "I'm afraid you'll overthink it. When I was little, I watched idol dramas where the male and female leads would misunderstand each other until the very end. Whenever I saw that part, I would get really anxious. But now that I have more choices, I don't like watching idol dramas anymore... I think that if a couple can say one more thing to each other, it can prevent you from overthinking. I will say it."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingshi pulled her to sit down: "Come and have some fruit."
Lin Yi'an glanced at him.
He forked a piece of the peeled orange and handed it to her: "You said you eat certain fruits in different seasons, so eat oranges."
Lin Yi'an took it: "You eat too."
Zhou Mingshi took the fruit, and after eating it, he said, "We've been married for less than a year, and you said our sex life isn't harmonious. I'm a little worried, not because of a man's pride, but because I want to give you the best, even if it's just our sex life..."
Lin Yi'an: "......"
Zhou Mingshi: "I have to make you satisfied."
Lin Yi'an looked at him: "You really want to satisfy me?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Naturally."
Lin Yi'an picked up the calendar on the table and showed it to him: "We have marital relations every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and rest the rest of the time. That's good enough."
Zhou Mingshi: "..."
Lin Yi-an: "Actually, I misspoke. It's not that our sex life is incompatible, but that it happens too frequently. You... should be more moderate."
Zhou Mingshi: "...Are you sure your husband won't have problems if you do this?"
Lin Yi'an: "......"
