Josh looked at him and stopped talking.
Cece suddenly laughed softly: "Silly, what are you worried about? Tell me, huh?"
Josh thought it might be impolite to say "I want to kill you" on his wedding night.
She shook her head: "Nothing."
Cece kissed her forehead and said, "Okay, go to sleep."
Josh's body tensed instantly.
Cece pushed her down on the bed and covered her with the quilt before she could react: "You don't seem ready. I won't force you. Don't be afraid."
Inexplicably, Josh's anxious mood was calmed down.
Ceci lifted the quilt on the other side and lay down.
The bed next to Josh sank a lot.
A big hand reached out and easily took her into its arms.
Qiao Xi felt that as a wife, she felt really bad for making her husband endure all that on their wedding night, and she should do something to compensate him.
She thought about it, and as if she had made up her mind, she nodded seriously, turned her head and aimed at the corner of Ceci's mouth, pouting her lips as if to kiss her.
"Josh! I'm going to beat you to death for being in love!"
The voice of a strange man suddenly rang in my mind, carrying with it a murderous aura.
Josh was startled and instinctively straightened his body, then sat up from the bed with a whoosh.
Cece was startled by her inexplicable behavior, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Xi couldn’t tell what was wrong. She stood up seriously and took a spare quilt from the closet: “I’ll sleep on the sofa.”
Ceci: “……?”
Josh lay down on the sofa, keeping a safe distance from the man on the bed, and the anxiety and weirdness in his heart were relieved a lot.
Ceci looked at the girl's back on the sofa, her eyes flickering slightly.
On the second day, the third day...for a whole month, Josh slept on the sofa.
Ceci was not annoyed, as if he was infinitely tolerant of her. No matter what she did, he respected her ideas and was not anxious at all.
Josh stood in the attic, watching the maids coming and going below, his eyes gradually becoming empty.
She has been becoming more and more fond of daydreaming recently.
There is always a feeling of suddenly relaxing and leisurely after being busy for a long time.
Josh's eyes fell on the maids walking around below. Seeing one of them carrying a sprinkler to water the flowers, he suddenly had a premonition that the maid would fall into the fence of the rose bushes.
Sure enough, after watering the roses, the maid seemed to want to pick a rose.
She put down the shower head and reached inside by climbing over the fence.
With a "thump", the maid fell in.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but curl her lips, but then she was stunned. Why did she feel that this scene was very familiar?
Ceci appeared beside her at some point, looking at her indulgently: "Silly girl, you have to watch Sophie fall in here every day, is that so fun?"
It was only later that Josh realized that she was waiting here every day to see Sophie make a fool of herself.
The weird feeling in my heart disappeared.
She looked at the people below with a smile in her eyes: "Interesting."
Cece rubbed her head helplessly, took off her cloak and put it on her: "It's cool in the morning. You don't have to worry about catching a cold standing here in the wind."
Qiao Xi: "No, when I was at the beach, I went out to catch fish every day. How could I get sick from such a little wind?"
"Of course I'll get sick." Ceci looked at her seriously, seemingly dissatisfied with her rebuttal and disobedience.
Josh felt his body suddenly heat up and he felt a little dizzy.
I heard Ceci's low and helpless voice: "Look, isn't this a sign of illness?"
Josh frowned slightly, feeling a little strange. Is her body so weak?
She was picked up by the waist and taken back to the bedroom.
The rich woody scent in Ceci's arms made her even more dizzy.
Josh was put on the bed, and he felt like a duckweed floating in the sea that had found a foothold, and the dizziness felt a little better.
Cece touched her forehead and tilted her head slightly: "Sophie, bring me a cup of hot water."
Soon, the maid came over with a cup of hot water.
When Qiao Xi saw the maid, he felt strangely familiar.
Sophie handed the water to Ceci and looked in Josh's direction: "Are you having a fever again? Your body..."
Josh frowned slightly: "Again? Did you know me before?"
Sophie looked at her strangely: "You don't remember..."
"Sophie." Ceci interrupted her and turned to look at her: "You go out first, I'll take care of this place."
Sophie suddenly shuddered, her face pale as she lowered her head: "...Yes."
Josh looked at the maid's back as she left, lost in thought.
Ceci picked her up and said, "Drink some water."
Qiao Xi took the cup from him and drank a sip of water. She couldn't help but think about the maid just now. She asked curiously, "What just now..."
Ceci patted her head and said, "The maid just now likes to get close to her master. You don't have to pay attention to her. She is the same to everyone."
Qiao Xi was stunned: "Is that so..."
But she still felt weird.
There was a large empty space in the corner of the room, with no furniture, cabinets or ornaments placed there, making it look a bit awkward and empty.
Qiao Xi stared at the empty space in a trance. She felt that there was something there, like a birdcage or something...
