31. Did you two have a fight?
"Hmm, it's alright," Xi Zhengyu replied after thinking for a moment.
Seeing his hesitation, Xie Shiyu teased, "Xi Zhengyu, your cooking skills aren't that bad, are they?"
"You'll find out tomorrow," Xi Zhengyu replied calmly, without actually answering.
Not getting the answer she wanted, Xie Shiyu didn't press the matter further; she figured she'd find out the result tomorrow anyway.
Whether it's good or bad, you can tell at a glance.
Before I knew it, it was bedtime again.
Ever since Xie Shiyu took the initiative to lie down on Xi Zhengyu's bed to sleep that day, the two have been sharing a bed.
Sometimes the two of them would have some minor disagreements when they slept together. Xie Shiyu didn't like hot environments, but Xi Zhengyu would catch a cold if the temperature was too low.
The two sometimes have minor disagreements on this, just like tonight.
Xie Shiyu woke up again from the heat. She looked at the thin blanket covering her and the man sleeping next to her, who was holding her in his arms, as if he were a giant furnace.
The heat made her start to sweat.
Xie Shiyu broke free from his embrace and then sat up on the bed.
The small light in the bedroom also gradually brightened after sensing that someone had gotten up.
I reached into the bedside table and pulled out a few tissues, then wiped the sweat from my forehead and neck.
Not long after the lights came on, Xi Zhengyu slowly woke up. He saw Xie Shiyu sitting on the bed wiping her sweat and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I woke up because of the heat," Xie Shiyu said. "I'm going back to the big pool to sleep." With that, she got out of bed and left without even taking her pillow.
Xi Zhengyu was a little annoyed when he was woken up. This had happened several times before. He would wake up feeling cold all over after sleeping in the big seashell and being covered with silk.
Xi Zhengyu scratched his hair in frustration, his face showing impatience.
Finally, he lay down and went to sleep, ignoring everything else.
The nightlight slowly went out after the bedroom door was closed.
Returning to the Big Shell alone, Xie Shiyu sat on the edge of the bed and felt inexplicably lost.
The irritability made her lose all sleepiness, and the heat in her body made her even more restless.
Xie Shiyu took a deep breath, then transformed into a fish tail and plunged into the water.
Lying on the large bed at the bottom of the water, Xie Shiyu covered herself with a silk scarf, closed her eyes, and forced herself to sleep.
Perhaps Xie Shiyu had gotten used to Xi Zhengyu's constant indulgence and gentle consideration towards her lately.
Normally, at times like this, he would come and sleep with me at the big seashell.
There was nothing tonight, which made Xie Shiyu feel very uncomfortable.
With this matter constantly on her mind, Xie Shiyu opened her eyes and sighed.
"Habits are a terrible thing," Xie Shiyu sighed, even such a small action could make her unhappy.
What about after that?
He met someone he liked and divorced her. Should he be heartbroken to death?
After much thought, Xie Shiyu finally asked herself, "Have I fallen for Xi Zhengyu?"
Five seconds after asking the question, Xie Shiyu coldly replied to herself, "No, how could I possibly like him?"
It was all just an act.
What is she best at?
It's acting.
As an actor, you must be able to distinguish between acting and reality. Getting too immersed in a role will only hurt you in the end.
After mentally preparing herself, Xie Shiyu let go of her worries and turned over to sleep.
The next day at noon, the two sat at the table and ate lunch in silence.
Xie Shiyu, who was usually very talkative, was unusually quiet today, which made Xi Zhengyu's gaze fall on her from time to time.
After finishing the meal, Xie Shiyu went to get ready because she was going back to the old house for lunch.
Today, Xie Shiyu wore a black dress, a pink fish necklace, and had a delicate and beautiful makeup look.
It made her even more beautiful and pretty; her silver hair paired with a black dress made her even more eye-catching.
After she came downstairs, Xi Zhengyu, who was sitting on the sofa reading a physical book, was immediately attracted to her.
It's beautiful, so beautiful that it arouses desire.
She was like an elf who had fallen to earth, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
But Xie Shiyu didn't smile at all today. Why?
Are you angry?
Xi Zhengyu was puzzled.
Puzzled, he stood up from the sofa, walked up to Xie Shiyu, and then extended his hand to her, saying, "Let's go."
"Hmm." Xie Shiyu responded lightly, then placed her hand on it.
The two boarded the Silver Wing and headed to the Xi family's old residence.
The two of them were the last to arrive, and they were already busy in the kitchen.
Even Xi Liting, who usually has a serious face, was wearing pajamas and sitting next to the trash can, slowly picking vegetables.
A blue screen was lit in front of him, but the screen itself was still gray and he couldn't see anything.
Apart from Xie Shiyu, all the members of the Xi family present had their smart devices protected against peeping.
Because they were afraid of leaking confidential information.
"You're here?" Shi An was sitting at the dining table fiddling with some ingredients when she looked up and said this as the two of them came in.
I glanced at the couple and felt that the atmosphere between them was a bit strange.
The little mermaid lowered her head, looking rather downcast. Xi Zhengyu, on the other hand, wore a stern face, appearing quite fierce.
Did the couple have a fight?
Shi An sensed something was wrong, but didn't ask anything. She simply asked Xi Zhengyu for help.
As for Xie Shiyu, she glanced into the kitchen and saw her father-in-law, husband, and sister-in-law inside.
It might be awkward to let Xie Shiyu go in and help.
Moreover, the sister-in-law seems to still have a lot of opinions about her brother-in-law, feeling that her status is too low.
"Shiyu, go to the garden outside and pick some fruit for me." Shi An finally assigned Xie Shiyu the task of picking fruit.
When Xie Shiyu asked to pick fruit by herself, Xi Zhengyu was about to say that he would do it, but was stopped by a look from his sister-in-law.
"Oh." Xie Shiyu nodded, then took the basket and went to the back garden, which was filled with all kinds of flowers and trees.
She stood there, unsure of what to do, until finally the butler, dressed in a tuxedo, came out and led her with a smile to the fruit tree.
“The First Madam says she needs the Atomizing Fruit. Second Madam, you can stand here and wait for the robot to bring it down,” the butler said. He had a full white beard, but his posture was still upright, and he looked like a qualified butler in his well-fitting tailcoat.
"Oh." Xie Shiyu nodded, then stood obediently under the tree with her basket in her arms, while the butler stood two steps behind her watching her.
In the restaurant, Xi Zhengyu looked at his sister-in-law with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why did you ask her to pick the atomizing fruit?"
Shi An stirred the filling, and instead of answering his question, she asked him, "Did you two have a fight?"
"No." Xi Zhengyu shook his head. "We're fine, we didn't quarrel."
"Why does your sister-in-law look so downcast?" Shi An continued to ask.
