Chapter 35
Seeing Jiang Huihan coming out with wet hair, Xu Zhao frowned slightly: "Why did you wash your hair?"
By the time she dried her hair and went to bed, it would probably be a bit late.
Jiang Suihan wiped her hair with a towel and said, "I sweated today, and my hair is greasy and uncomfortable."
She is from the south and is used to taking a shower and washing her hair every day when the weather is hot. If she were asked to sleep with greasy and dirty hair, she would definitely toss and turn and not be able to sleep well.
Xu Zhao took the towel from her hand, stood behind her, and began to dry her hair consciously.
Jiang Huihan felt a little uncomfortable and was about to turn around.
Xu Zhao said softly: "Don't move."
Well, she just didn't move.
His movements were so gentle that Jiang Huihan didn't feel the pain of her hair being pulled.
The atmosphere between the two gradually became a little weird.
Jiang Suihan looked at the long hair on her chest and suddenly said, "My hair has grown longer again. Do you think I should cut it short, just below my ears?"
Short hair is much more convenient. It takes less time to wash your hair, and it dries faster. You don’t have to get up every day to comb and braid your hair. The more she thought about it, the better idea she felt. She was thinking about finding a barber shop in the county to get her hair cut next time.
Xu Zhao touched the long hair in his hand, thinking it was a pity to cut off such beautiful long hair: "Short hair is not easy to take care of. It is not more convenient than long hair to cut it every once in a while."
Jiang Huihan suddenly had an idea. Could it be that he likes girls with long hair?
She thought so in her heart and asked it out loud.
"Hmm." Xu Zhao's hand movements paused slightly.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Suihan couldn't see his expression at the moment and couldn't help but ask him.
Xu Zhao said nonchalantly: "You guess it yourself."
Jiang Suihan turned her head and glared at him. This guy is so annoying. He asked her to guess again. Couldn’t he be more direct and say “I like her”? Is it so difficult?
Then she said directly: "Do you like me?"
Xu Zhao was choked, and seeing her staring at him, he blinked his eyelashes.
He couldn't help coughing, his face suddenly turned red, and he said calmly, "Okay, my hair is dry, I'll go take a shower."
He stuffed the towel into Jiang Huihan's hand, ran away in a panic, and tripped over the threshold and almost fell.
Jiang Suihan watched him flee, the corners of her mouth twitched, she sighed faintly, and murmured to herself: "Did I say something scary to scare him like this?"
Isn't it just asking him whether he likes her? Is it that scary? It was like seeing a ghost.
It made her doubt her own charm.
This shouldn't happen. After spending these days together, she could feel that he had feelings for her. Could it be that he was shy?
Jiang Suihan held her forehead helplessly. She, a girl, was not shy at all, but he, a grown man, was even more shy than her, which made her look thick-skinned.
Xu Zhao leaned against the wall and exhaled slowly, his heartbeat speeding up and pounding.
He almost got embarrassed just now, luckily he kept calm.
He had been confessed to before, but this was the first time in his life that a girl asked him if he liked her.
He liked her, Xu Zhao had no way of denying that. When she asked him this just now, he became even more certain.
Such a beautiful girl hangs around him every day, sleeps in the same bed with him at night, and is his nominal wife, in a reasonable and legal way. He is a normal man, and it is normal for him to fall in love with her.
He had never liked anyone before. Jiang Suhan was the first person he liked in the past 24 years. He didn't know how other couples got along. He liked seeing his own reflection in her clear and bright eyes, liked her smile with her eyes curved into crescents, and he liked her even if she kept chattering in his ear.
After realizing what was happening, Xu Zhao slapped his head in annoyance, thinking that his performance just now was too poor. She was so brave, but he ran away so spinelessly.
Would she think that he didn't like her and be secretly sad?
Maybe he is crying because he is sad now?
The more Xu Zhao thought about it, the more anxious he became. He seemed to have seen a sad girl hiding in the quilt sobbing quietly, with her eyes swollen from crying.
Jiang Suihan lay on the bed, reading a book and drying her hair.
I was so upset that I couldn't continue reading. I threw the book aside, put my head on the pillow and stared blankly.
She pounded the bed twice in anger, "Xu Zhao, you coward, you are so stubborn that you suffer in vain. You will suffer in the future."
After taking a shower, Xu Zhao returned to the room and glanced at Jiang Huihan: "The light is dim, don't damage your eyes."
Jiang Huihan raised her chin and snorted at him, then put the book away, lifted the quilt, and lay down, all in one smooth move.
Are you angry?
Xu Zhao realized later that he seemed to have pissed someone off.
"Angry?"
"No."
This hard tone means he is angry.
Xu Zhao began to coax him: "It's my fault. I was wrong."
Although he is not very proficient in the business of coaxing people, fortunately he has a good attitude, does not need to be reminded, and actively admits his mistakes.
Jiang Huihan turned her back to him: "What did you do wrong?"
Xu Zhao was particularly good at admitting his mistakes: "I was wrong everywhere."
Make people happy first.
Jiang Huihan turned over and sat up, saying expressionlessly: "Well, I'll give you another chance, go on."
She had an expression that said, "I'll just watch and see what you can say."
Xu Zhao had a headache, and under Jiang Suihan's gaze, he said, "I, I..."
I said "I" for a long time but couldn't say the rest.
Jiang Suihan tried hard to hold back her laughter and pretended to be very angry: "What do you mean by 'I'? Are you stuttering?"
Xu Zhao closed his eyes and made up his mind: "I like you."
Jiang Suihan stared at him blankly with her mouth half open, and subconsciously said, "Ah?"
After the words were out, Xu Zhao couldn't help but blush and turned his face away, not daring to look at Jiang Suihan.
I didn't think it was just a casual question, but it forced out an expected answer.
Jiang Huihan pursed her lips subconsciously, her eyebrows curved into a smile, her smile was bright, her eyes seemed to be filled with bright stars, she tilted her head and looked at Xu Zhao: "I didn't hear it clearly, can you say it again?"
Xu Zhao's face turned redder as she looked at him, and he felt like he was steaming all over: "Forget it if you didn't hear clearly."
Anyway, he won't say it a second time, at least not today.
Jiang Suihan was not willing to let him go so easily. She pulled his hand and swung it back and forth, blinking her eyes: "Just say it again, I still want to hear it, okay?"
The ending tone rises slightly, the voice is delicate and sweet, and the eyes are so beautiful that they seem to be seducing.
Xu Zhao felt his whole face burning hot. He straightened his body and shook his head.
Seeing that he refused to speak a second time, Jiang Suihan wrinkled her nose and snorted.
If she could make him say it the first time, there would be a second time, or even countless times. She had confidence.
While Xu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a little unwilling that he was fooled by this little girl.
He reached out and pinched Jiang Huihan's left cheek: "Why are you so naughty? Are you so happy to see me laugh?"
Jiang Suihan wanted to slap his hand away: "I'm happy."
I got the answer I wanted and felt very happy.
She said with a smile: "Of course I'm happy if someone likes it!"
The heat on Xu Zhao's face, which had just subsided, instantly rose again. He was being teased again.
I secretly despised myself for being so useless that I was defeated by my own wife. What a shame that I was not thick enough.
He kept a straight face, trying to look calm and composed, and flicked her forehead: "Go to sleep."
He put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms, fearing that she would say something embarrassing again.
Jiang Huihan buried her face in Xu Zhao's arms and couldn't help but laugh softly. She knew she couldn't go too far, otherwise someone would be embarrassed.
When I woke up the next morning, there was no one sitting next to me. I touched the bed and it was cold. I guess they had gotten up early in the morning.
Jiang Suihan looked at her watch. It was almost the same time she woke up yesterday, still a little after nine o'clock.
I stretched, got up, brushed my teeth and washed up, unscrewed the cap of the vanishing cream, scooped out a little into the palm of my hand, rubbed it on my face, and applied it on my neck.
I patted my face in front of the mirror, and it looked clear, white and tender, with a rosy complexion. I was indeed full of youth. The best skin care product for women is youth, and youth is invincible.
Jiang Suihan went downstairs humming a song. The house was quiet. When she left the living room, she saw Jiang Leyun squatting in the yard, poking an ant hole with a stick in his hand.
Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Leyun threw down the stick and complained, "Sister, you finally woke up. I thought you didn't eat breakfast and ate lunch directly after waking up."
He felt that his sister was too sleepy. He had never seen a new daughter-in-law sleep until almost ten in the morning and then get up slowly. In the past, at the neighbor Grandma Zhou's house, almost every morning he could hear Grandma Zhou scolding her daughter-in-law for sleeping in bed, being lazy and not working, making her, an old lady, busy from morning to night without a moment's rest.
Jiang Leyun was a smart kid, and he began to educate his sister earnestly: "Sister, you should be more careful. You and your brother-in-law just got married, and you have revealed your true nature so quickly. Don't scare your brother-in-law away. When you get to the capital, your mother-in-law will have opinions about you if she knows you are so lazy. You sleep until ten o'clock every morning, and your brother-in-law buys breakfast at the canteen, washes clothes, sweeps the floor, and pulls the grass in the yard. What's the point of marrying this daughter-in-law?"
He really cares about the happy life of his sister and brother-in-law. This family cannot do without him.
Jiang Suihan laughed so hard that she gave her brother a slap on the face: "When you get married in the future, you will naturally know what your wife is for. Besides, if your brother-in-law is happy, I am happy too. You are just a kid, don't worry about this and that all the time. Aren't you going to go find your friends today?"
After hearing this, she realized that Xu Zhao had done a lot of things early in the morning. He was also the one who washed yesterday's clothes. The water tank was full. She didn't know what time he got up and was busy with so many things early in the morning.
Jiang Suihan felt both sour and sweet in her heart. She left the city where she had lived for almost twenty years and came to a strange place. In fact, she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface. She was also afraid and worried. She was not sure if she could adapt to the life here and whether she could play the role of a wife well. However, Xu Zhao's attitude and behavior these days gave her great confidence.
She is not the only one working hard for this family, he is also making contributions. She still remembers that on the day they got the marriage certificate, he told her that he would not let her suffer, and he is indeed doing his best to ensure that she does not suffer at all.
