Chapter 11 Temptation
Pei Xingzhi was silent. This was the generation gap between him and Meng Wanqiu. Although he had a rough life, he was born into a prominent family and received elite education since childhood.
Meng Wanqiu was born in the countryside, was stupid for more than ten years, and had never even been to school. No matter how he talked to her about the experts and physiological knowledge, she would not understand.
Meeting Meng Wanqiu's stubborn eyes, Pei Xingzhi sighed, "Experts are doctors. They say that women's bodies develop well after the age of eighteen, and their children will be healthier."
Meng Wanqiu himself can be considered half a doctor. When he was in the organization before, because he could not practice martial arts and could not compete with others, he could only work hard to learn other things, and medicine was one of them.
She knows most of the common pulse conditions and many common prescriptions.
After hearing Pei Xingzhi's words, she thought carefully and felt that there was some truth to them. Many of the women who died in childbirth in her previous life were under the age of eighteen. This was likely because the mother's body hadn't grown properly. The child consumed most of the mother's energy during the ten months of pregnancy, leaving her with insufficient strength for childbirth, which led to a difficult birth.
When she thought of death, Meng Wanqiu no longer worried about it. She decided to wait until she grew older. It was a pity that she had a very short life. If she got pregnant and had a difficult delivery, no one would be able to save her.
Meng Wanqiu finally calmed down, and Pei Xingzhi let go of the quilt on her, lay down on the other side, and looked at the ceiling while panting.
My body was still very hot, and there was a strange reaction somewhere. Fortunately, I acted quickly, otherwise she would have discovered it.
When Meng Wanqiu straddled his legs, Pei Xingzhi was seduced and bewitched by her for a moment. This bold move was completely contrary to her pure and innocent eyes.
She was wearing a cool and seductive bellyband and thigh-length shorts. She sat on him with her legs touching and her hands hanging around his neck.
Moreover, she actually took the initiative to kiss him.
Not just once, but also on the cheeks, between the eyebrows, tip of the nose, and lips.
Every kiss that fell on him was like a flame, devouring his body and burning his sanity.
Although he always knew that Meng Wanqiu was a bold person, he was still frightened by her actions tonight.
Pei Xingzhi closed his eyes, wondering where she had learned all this.
Meng Wanqiu was no longer sleepy at this moment. She turned her head to look at Pei Xingzhi. He was lying on his back with his eyes closed. His high nose bridge was particularly prominent. She still remembered that when she kissed him just now, the hot breath he exhaled made her sweat unconsciously.
Suddenly, Meng Wanqiu suddenly thought of one thing, that is, what is Pei Xingzhi's physical condition.
When he pinched her waist just now, he felt so strong that she was pushed down before she could react. But before that, he was so angry that his body was shaking and he couldn't even lift the bath water.
This good and bad situation made Meng Wanqiu very confused. Is Pei Xingzhi's health good or bad?
If there was no problem, that would be the best. If there was, she could treat him earlier. Although she had agreed to wait until she was an adult before doing that, what if this was Pei Xingzhi's excuse to conceal his physical condition?
The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Meng Wanqiu silently stretched out her hand and slowly reached it towards Pei Xingzhi.
Just as she touched Pei Xingzhi's fingertips, Meng Wanqiu was knocked over again. This time, she was so frightened by Pei Xingzhi that she let out a scream of surprise.
Pei Xingzhi pinned Meng Wanqiu's hands above her head. Pei Xingzhi pressed on top of Meng Wanqiu, supporting his body with one arm. There was only a blanket between them, and they were less than a fist's distance apart, so they could feel each other's body temperature.
Meng Wanqiu struggled uncomfortably. She didn't like the feeling of being completely controlled by someone, which made her feel insecure.
But her struggle made Pei Xingzhi misunderstand. He silently increased his strength and asked her in a low voice: "What do you want to do? I told you to wait until you are an adult and don't come to provoke me."
Meng Wanqiu really didn't like this action. "I know. I was careless."
"If you move again, I will tie you up." Pei Xingzhi leaned close to Meng Wanqiu's ear and warned her in a low voice.
Meng Wanqiu curled her lips. He wanted to tie her up with just these two moves. If she wasn't afraid of hurting him by mistake, she would have taken him down long ago.
"Let me go, my hand hurts."
Pei Xingzhi then let go of Meng Wanqiu and rolled over on top of her. In the darkness, he turned his back to the outside and began to breathe slightly.
Meng Wanqiu glared at his back and turned around with her back to him.
Humph, if he doesn't let her take his pulse, then he can just take the medicine directly.
Noticing the movement behind him, Pei Xingzhi's eyelids twitched, and he tried hard to suppress the heat in his body, but the breath belonging to Meng Wanqiu continued to invade his body, and covering his nose was useless.
The place, which was already lively to begin with, was now even more arrogant, with its head held high and chest puffed out to show its presence. Pei Xingzhi felt embarrassed to lie facing forward.
In the darkness, Pei Xingzhi rubbed his hot ears, trying to use them to dissipate the heat. He didn't know how long it took before his eyelids became heavy.
After a while, I finally fell asleep successfully.
In the early morning, the sky was pale and a shadow of the moon could be seen. When the first rooster crowed, the villagers began to get up one after another.
Pei Xingzhi's eyelids trembled, and then he slowly opened his eyes, revealing his deep eyes. Because he had just woken up, there was a bit of innocence in his eyes, but it disappeared in just a short moment.
It turned into a familiar deepness. Looking at the unfamiliar scene, Pei Xingzhi frowned. The soreness in his arm spread along the nerves to his brain. He turned his head and was so scared that half of his body stretched out of the window.
Although it is summer now, the weather is still very cold late at night. In addition, the two of them were not very comfortable covering themselves with the quilt. The quilt was kicked to the end of the bed. The two of them subconsciously looked for a source of heat and somehow ended up hugging each other.
Meng Wanqiu's bellyband was not tied tightly enough, and after a night, it became shaky, with half of her belly exposed.
She rested her head on Pei Xingzhi's arm, lying sideways in his arms, with most of her round body exposed, pressed against his chest.
Pei Xingzhi almost fell off the bed after just one look, and only managed to keep his balance thanks to his good waist strength.
Pei Xingzhi was hit hard as soon as he woke up in the morning. He sighed helplessly, picked up the quilt from the end of the bed and covered Meng Wanqiu with it, changed his clothes, took the washbasin and towel from the washstand at the door, and pushed the door open to go out.
Pei Xingzhi was particularly satisfied with the well in the Meng family's yard. It was very convenient for doing anything, the water in it was sweet and delicious, and it was cool when it was first drawn in the summer.
Unlike the educated youth home, because there are so many people and the water consumption is high, people have to go to the well at the entrance of the village to fetch water every day. One time is not enough. Generally, four buckets of water are needed a day to barely meet their needs.
But now it is convenient. He draws water from the well and pours it into the basin. Pei Xingzhi wipes his face and suddenly thinks that getting married is a good idea.
Crunch——
Meng's father and mother also got up. Meng's father came over to Pei Xingzhi with a heavy wooden basin.
Pei Xingzhi quickly made way, "Dad, there's water here."
Father Meng happily agreed, "Okay, why are you getting up so early?"
Pei Xingzhi helped Father Meng get some good water. "It's okay. This is how I usually wake him up."
There was no electricity in the countryside at that time, so we had dinner at four or five in the afternoon. Sometimes we had to go out to work after dinner, and there was not much entertainment when we came back, so we went to bed at seven or eight. Getting up at five was not considered early.
"Where is Xiaowan?" Meng Aiguo asked his daughter.
"Still sleeping." Pei Xingzhi glanced into the room, turned around silently, and prepared to help Meng Mu fetch water to the large water tank in the kitchen.
"Xingzhi, this is a lazy girl of mine, please don't mind it." Meng Aiguo said to Pei Xingzhi with a little apology. He only has this one girl, who has suffered so much in the past ten years and finally got better. He couldn't bear to say anything to her.
"Look at what you said. How Xiaowan should behave at home will remain the same even after she gets married. She can't live a worse life after marrying me." Pei Xingzhi didn't have many requirements for Meng Wanqiu. These faults that seemed unbearable to outsiders were exactly what Pei Xingzhi cared about the least.
Since he married a lazy girl who loved to eat and drink, he didn't expect to teach her to be diligent.
He was mentally prepared when he married Meng Wanqiu.
"You're the one who spoiled her. Look, Xingzhi is awake, but she's still sleeping soundly." Mother Meng came out of the room. Although she also doted on Meng Wanqiu, she still hoped that after marriage, she could help Pei Xingzhi share some of the family pressure.
Although Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi currently live at home, they are married and have formed their own small family. A family has family responsibilities, and as a wife, Meng Wanqiu must shoulder her share of the responsibilities.
"Oh, when she grows up, she will slowly understand." Father Meng was still reluctant, but he didn't dare to go against his wife.
Pei Xingzhi had no intention of intervening in the quarrel between his parents-in-law. He fetched water silently without saying a word.
In the kitchen, sister-in-law Dong Hanyun was lighting a fire in front of the stove. When she saw Pei Xingzhi come in, she greeted him.
Pei Xingzhi also called out "sister-in-law" and looked around, "Where's my brother?"
Dong Hanyun shook her head and said with a smile, "Both brother and sister are lazy bums. They can't get up until breakfast is ready."
Pei Xingzhi smiled politely, "Brother, you were busy all day yesterday. You must be tired. You deserve to rest for a while."
Dong Hanyun had heard the villagers talk about Pei Xingzhi's personality. They all said he was gentle, polite and considerate to others, and never made enemies. Only after hearing his words did she truly understand him.
Judging from what he said, he is indeed a scholar. His words are pleasant to the ears and flawless.
He took care of Meng Yanchun, considered her, and expressed his gratitude for their help.
However, Dong Hanyun still had something to say to Pei Xingzhi.
"Xingzhi, how many years have you been in the village?" Dong Hanyun asked casually as he threw a piece of firewood into the stove.
"Almost four years."
"Four years, so you shouldn't know anything about our family, right?"
Pei Xingzhi was stunned. "What's the matter?"
Dong Hanyun turned her head to the side, the light from the fire in the stove reflected on her profile, and there seemed to be flames in her eyes as she looked at Pei Xingzhi.
"As for me, I actually fled to our village due to famine, and was picked up by Xiao Wan, which is how I survived."
Pei Xingzhi looked over and met Dong Hanyun's eyes. He said calmly, "So?"
Dong Hanyun smiled. "So, Xiaowan has done me a great favor. In my heart, Xiaowan is more important than Zhuangzhuang and even myself. If anyone bullies her, I will risk my life to make that person suffer."
Pei Xingzhi's face lost its gentleness, and he looked down at Dong Hanyun with an expressionless face.
Dong Hanyun kept smiling and looked up at Pei Xingzhi.
The kitchen became quiet, with only the crackling sound of the firewood in the stove, which sounded like the noise when wind and rain come.
"What are you doing?"
