Chapter 20: Mom won’t keep you any longer…
—What do you want me to do? —
When a man asks a woman this question, it means he is ready to compromise with her.
Yao pursed her lips slightly and looked at Zhou Dongmeng who had been standing a few steps away.
She said softly, "It's too dark now. I don't dare go home alone. I'll be scared. And now my foot is injured again. I can only trouble Brother Zhou to help me go home."
Zhou Dongmeng's sturdy figure did not move at all, and asked in a deep voice: "Just help him home?"
Yao Weiwei lowered her head shyly: "That..."
The woman bit her lower lip, twisted her skirt with her fingers, and continued, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhou, you're already married, and I'm still bothering you like this. If others saw you helping me home, would they misunderstand us? If Xiaoxiang knew, she would be angry!"
Zhou Dong suddenly realized: "Ah, thank you for reminding me."
Yao Weiwei raised her watery eyes.
The night was too dark to clearly see the expression on the man's face, so she had to show her most innocent and pitiful appearance and said softly: "Brother Zhou, don't take it to heart. Xiaoxiang's temper is just like that, and it can't be changed. But I will keep it a secret. This is a little secret between the two of us, even if..."
Yao Weiwei paused, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"Even if Xiaoxiang finds out, I will explain to her that what happened tonight has nothing to do with Brother Zhou. It's all my fault. I'm too stupid and can't even walk properly."
There is something else behind what the woman said.
Yao Weiwei wanted Zhou Dongmeng to see the essence through the phenomenon.
If they love each other, even if Chen Xiang finds out one day, she will take all the responsibility on herself.
It was Yao Weiwei's fault.
It was she who seduced Zhou Dongmeng.
These words are conveying this message to men.
In the dark night, Zhou Dongmeng's eyes were bright and extremely penetrating. After listening to it, he lowered his brows, and the wind in the fields seemed to be even colder.
He said in a sharp voice: "It sounds quite troublesome, so you should go back by yourself."
Yao Weiwei widened her eyes: "..."
So what she just said was in vain?
She has been lying on the ground for so long, while she is lying on the ice begging for carp!
But Zhou Dongmeng didn't give any chance at all.
Just walk past her and stride forward.
Yao Weiwei looked at the man's receding back and was so anxious that she almost got up, jumped on his back and ordered him to take her home.
"Brother Zhou, wait for me, I'm scared..."
She was really scared.
There is no village or shop in this place, and there seem to be a few lonely graves in the fields...
Yao Weiwei's feet were so frozen that she could not feel them. When she stood up, she could no longer see Zhou Dongmeng in front of her.
What about others?
Really abandon her and go away?
“…”
Aaaaaaaaaaaah!
Yao Weiwei was so angry that she stood there flailing around like crazy!
Her chest heaving violently, she was angry, and finally she stroked her forehead with one hand and sneered a few times.
I didn’t expect that. I didn’t expect that.
I've been fishing all day, but today I got tricked by a fish!
Yao Weiwei was angry and resentful. She closed her eyes and let out a long breath: "..."
But after she calmed down, she changed her mind and thought that Zhou Dongmeng would be a world-renowned billionaire in the future, so there was no way he would be easily hooked.
Before leaving, she didn't expect to succeed today.
If it doesn’t work this time, then maybe next time!
One day she will win this man's heart!
Anyway, water dripping wears away stone, and she has plenty of time to accompany them. The final result must be that she, Yao Weiwei, will take the position of the wealthy wife of the Zhou family!
If you don’t believe it, just wait and see!
She has the script in her hand and is favored by God!
—
Zhou Dongmeng gave up the road under his feet and went straight down to the fields.
He walked through the fields and reached the back of his house in one breath. His frown finally relaxed a little.
On his way back, he couldn't help but think about it.
The woman probably never imagined that he had been in the army for eight years, fought in countless jungle battles, and shuttled through hail of bullets both at night and day. It was impossible for him to have no vigilance at all!
Especially at night, his alertness was pushed to the extreme.
Just now, he noticed from a very long distance that there was a person walking back and forth on the roadside ahead, obviously waiting for someone.
At first Zhou Dongmeng thought that they were just couples who couldn't bear the loneliness and came to meet secretly.
As a result, when he got closer and saw her fall to the ground in one go, look back, and say "Brother Zhou", he knew it then.
This woman came for him.
Zhou Dongmeng had excellent eyesight, and even in such a dark night, he could clearly see the woman making eyes at him.
He looks just like a little clown.
If Zhou Dongmeng didn't want to stay for even a second if he didn't want to see what she was going to do.
It was easy for him to get rid of a woman.
As for whether the woman was scared or had an accident, it had nothing to do with him.
After all, it was her own fault!
Zhou Dong rushed into the yard and gently pushed open the door. A warm breath hit him in the face. He carefully took off his dirty clothes.
He was stripped down to the point of being left with only the thin shorts around his waist.
Then, as usual, I scooped some cool water from the water tank and poured it into the basin.
He bent down and began to wash.
That’s what it’s like to work on a construction site. There’s a lot of dust, and sometimes he would go home with his head and face covered in dust. He didn’t care before, as long as it got dirty, it got dirty.
But now it's different.
Chen Xiang is sleeping in their wedding room now. If she sees him like this...
Zhou Dongmeng still remembered that he was bitten by that girl at noon and was criticized for being salty. Thinking of this, he scooped up water and rubbed his neck hard again.
—
At this time in their wedding room.
After washing her feet, Chen Xiang lay on the bed waiting for Zhou Dongmeng to come back.
At first her eyes were wide open, but after a while her eyelids began to droop, and now she was completely drowsy and asleep.
But even if I slept, I couldn't sleep well.
If she didn't take a look at Zhou Dongmeng before going to bed, she would always feel uneasy and not focused at all, so the slightest movement outside would wake her up.
When Chen Xiang was sleeping soundly, she vaguely heard some noise coming from the kitchen.
She opened her eyes, jumped up, tilted her head and listened carefully. There was indeed the sound of water.
Is Zhou Dongmeng back?
Chen Xiang looked delighted, lit the kerosene lamp, and got out of bed in her slippers.
After taking a few quick steps, she pushed the door open excitedly. When she saw the scene in front of her clearly, Chen Xiang froze in place, with a few blushes on her face in an instant.
She snorted fiercely, "You...! Why aren't you wearing pants?"
Zhou Dongmeng was also startled, and quickly covered the area around his waist, turned his back to Chen Xiang, and whispered, "You're not asleep yet?"
Chen Xiang stared at the man's broad back. His vertebrae disappeared all the way between his buttocks, and his shoulder blades standing on both sides were like two knights.
Under the light, her wheat-colored skin was dripping with moisture.
Chen Xiang pouted, feeling extremely shy, and murmured, "I came out to pour out the foot washing water."
After saying this, she placed the kerosene lamp in her hand on the table at her feet, pulled the door handle, turned around and closed the door, blocking out the light in the kitchen behind her.
Zhou Dong suddenly heard the sound of a door closing softly and his ears moved.
Looking back, I saw that the door of the west room was indeed closed, so tightly closed that it seemed as if the girl had never come out.
But the kerosene lamp was lying behind him.
Zhou Dong's ears swelled up, he shook the water off his hands, and hurriedly grabbed the shorts on the clothesline. After putting them on, he felt that the fabric was a little too tight...
He glanced down and realized that there was already a faint sign of someone raising his head.
The man's throat felt dry, and he cursed in a low voice: "Fuck!"
He raised his hand and pulled off his trousers again, put them on neatly, lowered his head to fasten his belt, and then went back to the house.
Chen Xiang hid in the room, holding her chest and sitting on the edge of the bed.
The scene just now is still lingering in my mind.
In fact, the kitchen was quite dark, and the only light came from her side, making the entire scene seem to be covered with a layer of black veil.
But it is precisely because of the haziness that the outlines depicted are so shocking!
"call--"
Chen Xiang let out a long breath.
Her cheeks felt hot and even her ten toes curled up into a ball in shyness.
While I was daydreaming, Zhou Dong suddenly opened the door and came in.
He subconsciously glanced at the bed and saw the girl sitting on the edge of the bed with her eyes downcast. Her blushing cheeks and lips that were bruised red by her teeth were all reflected in his eyes.
Zhou Dong's throat rolled and he turned his head to look away.
Chen Xiang didn't dare to look the man in the eye. Even after Zhou Dong came in, she felt the whole room was filled with his hormonal aura that was like a nuclear explosion.
This smell is more intoxicating than alcohol...
Chen Xiangxun didn't have the courage to stay any longer, so he hurriedly said, "I'll go get some water..."
Then he quickly left the room.
She poured the foot washing water into the swill bucket, looked down at the water stains on the ground, and the scene flashed by again -
Zhou Dongmeng was standing here wiping his body?
Chen Xiang patted her hot cheeks and tried hard to bring her wandering thoughts back to reality.
After walking around the kitchen for a few times and hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and went back. As soon as she entered the house, she saw that Zhou Dongmeng had already spread the straw mat and was ready to go to bed.
Chen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight to the bed.
Just as she took a step forward, there was a knock on the door from behind her, followed by Zhou's mother's voice: "Xiaoxiang?"
Chen Xiang's chubby figure suddenly froze.
Her eyes, as round and bright as those of a small animal, widened and quickly glanced at the man lying on the ground.
Zhou Dongmeng was also stunned and looked back at the girl.
Zhou's mother's voice rang out from outside the door: "Xiaoxiang, are you still awake? That mother is coming in..."
"!!!"
Chen Xiang’s heart was shaking!
In a panic, she pointed at Zhou Dongmeng's floor and silently commanded: "Put it away quickly! Put it away!"
Zhou Dongmeng quickly stood up and hurriedly packed up the straw mat.
"Go—to—the—bed—"
"Bed! Bed—"
Chen Xiang opened her mouth to remind the man, but it was like a ball of air in her throat, silent but surprisingly chaotic.
Zhou Dong was very agile. He jumped onto the bed in a few seconds and pretended to sleep with his face facing inside.
Seeing this, Chen Xiang tidied her hair in a hurry.
Then he leaned over and opened the door, smiling guiltily: "Mom!"
When Zhou's mother first glanced at her daughter-in-law's face, she was surprised to find that her white and tender face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, and her heavy chest rose and fell...
She was startled, and waited until she saw her son on the bed.
He was startled again: "..."
Zhou's mother lowered her voice and asked, "When did Mengzi come back?"
Chen Xiang let her mother-in-law in and whispered, "I've been back for a while."
Mother Zhou handed the bowl to her daughter-in-law: "I made you some milk powder, drink it quickly."
"Mom, this is for Dad's health. I don't want to drink it!"
"Drink it quickly, he doesn't need it. I see you didn't eat much at night, so drink it now, drink it till you're full, or you won't be hungry in the middle of the night."
Chen Xiang hesitated for a moment, then took the bowl, tilted her head back and drank it in a few gulps.
Mother Zhou raised her hand and touched her daughter-in-law's head, whispering, "Go to sleep quickly, I won't keep you any longer."
“……” Chen Xiang’s face turned red.
Mother Zhou had a smile on her face and quickly closed the door and left.
There was a moment of silence in the bridal chamber.
