Chapter 36 Married Life Ends
After Zhou Yangze finished the variety show "Taoyuan Life Notes", he immediately prepared for his wedding and took a vacation for a while after the wedding. During this period, Zhou Mingcheng never arranged any big projects for him. He only did some odd and simple jobs. Later, when he came back from his honeymoon, Zhou Mingcheng planned to let him be responsible for a film and television project.
"Brother, I'm a newlywed, so you should assign me some simple tasks like before. I want to get off work early and go home to be with my wife."
"Haven't I already let you rest for so long?"
"How can that be? You're not married and you don't understand my feelings."
"..." Zhou Mingcheng was speechless for a moment. It sounded as if he didn't need to pursue his wife.
After a moment's thought, he placed his hands on the desk and said coaxingly, "Aze, you're a family man now. You can't be as lazy as before. You have to work hard to achieve results and earn money to give Ning You a better life. When you have children in the future, you have to set a good example for them and make them proud of you. Think about it, isn't this the truth?"
Zhou Yangze lazily shifted his sitting position. "Brother, you're obviously trying to get me started. What better life? We're already living the best life we can. As for children, that's still a ways off. Ning You and I plan to have some fun for a few years before trying. We're still young and don't want to be tied down by children so early, so your words won't work on me."
"..." This kid, after getting what he wanted, turned back into his old stubborn self.
Just when Zhou Mingcheng was thinking about how to coax him to do more work, Zhou Yangze suddenly remembered that he had made up his mind to become Du Ningyou's backer, but he had almost forgotten about it after staying in the land of comfort for too long recently.
But the refusal had already been said, so I had to pretend to be nonchalant and picked up the plan. "Forget it, I'll take it. It's just a way to kill time. Starting early gives me plenty of time and I can still get off work on time."
Zhou Mingcheng didn't care what his reason was, as long as he accepted it, he would immediately say, "A man should do his job well after agreeing to do it. I'll give you a bigger bonus at the end of the year, and you can use it to buy Ning You a gift. Your hard-earned money will be more meaningful."
"No need. She has everything she needs now. Just exchange it for gold bars and take it back for her to hear."
"Whatever, it's your decision."
In late December, Huaicheng had its first snow of the year, and overnight the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow.
Du Ningyou woke up groaning, and habitually touched his side, but felt nothing. Then he opened his eyes sleepily and found that Zhou Yangze was no longer in bed.
I stood up puzzled and walked to the window. After opening the curtains, I saw the world all white.
"Wow, it's snowing."
She reached out to catch a few snowflakes, then looked down and saw someone walking back and forth in the yard, making a "Z" in the snow with their feet, and now drawing a heart.
A gust of cool wind made her shiver. She went into the house to put on a thick down jacket and then came back. Then she watched Zhou Yangze on the second floor with interest to see what he was going to write.
Soon his masterpiece took shape. It read "ZY", which were the initials of their names "Ze" and "You".
After Zhou Yangze finished painting, he looked up to the second floor and saw Du Ningyou had already gotten up. He immediately smiled and waved, "Wife!"
Then he lay down in the big heart in the middle and made a heart with his hands above his head.
Du Ningyou was amused by him and laughed "Haha", raised his hands above his head in response, then disappeared to the second-floor window. After a while, he came to the yard, ran to Zhou Yangze with a smile and lay on the ground. The two childish guys moved their hands and feet in the snow in a big letter shape, directly leaving an image of them lying together hand in hand.
After playing in the snow for a while, Zhou Yangze cooked some ginger soup and each of them drank a bowl in the kitchen. Today they were going out for a meal, so they gave the aunt and the maid at home a holiday.
After they packed up and went out, they first went to the Du family. When Du Boyan heard that the two were coming back, he arranged for someone to cook a lot of their favorite dishes and opened a bottle of Burgundy red wine.
"You two should come back and have dinner with dad from time to time. The house is not as lively as before after Ning You got married. Your second sister doesn't stick to me at all." Du Boyan said resentfully.
Du Ningrao ate calmly. She was not the clingy and spoiled girl like her younger sister.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yangze raised his glass and clinked it with his father-in-law. "Dad, Ning You marrying me is like having another son. As long as you don't mind, we'll come over often and make sure this house is always bustling with activity."
"Haha, I'm so happy, how could I be dissatisfied? I just have to do what I say."
"That's a must."
They were having a drink nearby. Du Ningyou approached his second sister with a smile and whispered, "Second sister, how are you and Brother Zhou getting along?"
As he got closer, he noticed a red mark on her neck. It was very familiar to the married Du Ningyou. His eyes widened instantly, "You! You..."
Du Ningrao immediately tugged at her collar and stuffed a meatball into her mouth.
"Calm down, we're all adults, what's the big deal?" But in reality, the tips of her ears were red.
Du Ningyou chewed a meatball and stared at her with a smile. It seemed that her second sister and Brother Zhou were about to get married.
After dinner at Du's, they went to Zhou's. Ms. Shen was playing mahjong with her friends. When she saw her son and daughter-in-law, she said happily, "Ning You, you're just in time. Come and help me play a couple of rounds to change my luck. I've been losing all afternoon."
“But I’m not very good at it.”
"It's okay, I'll teach you."
So Du Ningyou sat at the card table, and Shen Wanyun taught her how to play beside her. Zhou Yangze went into the kitchen to ask his aunt to prepare some afternoon tea. After coming out, he stood behind his mother and his wife, occasionally giving some advice.
Du Ningyou was indeed lucky. He got three cards by himself in the first round and a "top card" in the second round.
Shen Wanyun was grinning from ear to ear beside her.
Wife 1: "Ayun, your daughter-in-law is so lucky."
Wife No. 2: "Yes, if you win two rounds, you can win back all the money you lost. I also want a daughter-in-law like that."
The third wife jokingly said, "Next time Ayun asks me to play cards, I'll have to ask if your wife is here. If she is, I won't dare to come."
Shen Wanyun replied angrily: "This is the legendary novice protection period. Look how scared you all are."
"Hahaha."
After winning another round, Du Ningyou returned the seat to Shen Wanyun, and then sat on the sofa next to him with Zhou Yangze to watch TV.
Zhou Yangze hugged the person and said jokingly, "We've been married for over a month, and... we've had so many in-depth conversations. Why didn't your good luck spread to me?"
"That's because... marrying me has used up all your luck."
Hearing this, his eyebrows slightly raised, and then he laughed "Hahaha", "Yes, yes, yes."
When the Zhou family distributed the year-end bonus, Zhou Yangze happily returned home with three gold bars.
"Honey, I'm back!"
Du Ningyou had just returned from Youran and was changing into home clothes in the room. When Zhou Yangze entered the bedroom, he saw a fair and delicate waist.
His eyes suddenly became meaningful. He walked over and hugged her from behind, and wanted to put his hands into her clothes.
Du Ningyou quickly stopped him, "You just came back and your hands are cold, don't touch me."
"Then let me warm you up and touch you again, honey, your pajamas are so soft, and you smell so good."
"I haven't even taken a shower yet, how can it smell good?"
"It smells so good." He held her face and kissed her twice.
Du Ningyou looked disgusted on the surface, but there was a smile in his eyes.
After laughing and joking, Zhou Yangze stuffed the gold bars into her hands, and the gold bars made a crisp sound when they collided.
"Hand over your salary. This is my hard-earned year-end bonus."
"Wow! We have to keep this safe. Put it in our safe."
"Um."
The two went to the study and opened the safe, which contained Du Ningyou's jewelry and their marriage certificate.
Zhou Yangze looked at the safe that still had a lot of space and said to his wife, "Wait, it won't be long before I can fill up this small safe."
Du Ningyou immediately encouraged him, "Okay, come on, husband~mua"
The following spring, they returned to Huaicheng No. 1 Middle School and saw Brother Biao lying on the grass basking in the sun with a beautiful calico cat beside him. When Brother Biao saw Du Ningyou, he ran over and wrapped his arms around her legs and spun around.
Zhou Yangze deliberately said: "Go and rub your wife, this is my wife."
"Why are you still jealous of Brother Biao?"
"Who told it not to touch me when it was in school, and even grabbed me."
"Haha, it's because you want to get something for free. You don't give it food and you keep scaring it."
"snort."
After this time, the two came again in the summer. This time, in addition to Brother Biao and the calico cat, there were three kittens of different colors following them.
When leaving, Brother Biao picked up a beautiful colorful tabby cat and placed it at Du Ningyou's feet, then nudged it with his nose.
"Does this mean you're going to let me raise him?" she asked.
Brother Biao called out coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll take it away then."
They were just planning to get a pet, but unexpectedly Brother Biao gave them his own child.
After taking the kitten away, the two of them excitedly ran to the largest pet shop in Huaicheng. They first gave the kitten a full physical examination, washed it, bought a lot of pet supplies, and then returned home to arrange a separate room for the kitten near the garden.
While building a cat climbing frame, Zhou Yangze said to the kitten, "Remember, I built your nest and the climbing frame for you. I will also clean up your poop in the future. Don't be like your father who is so heartless and catches me."
Du Ningyou held the cat beside him and laughed, and when he was done, he gently placed the kitten in his arms, "Hold it, let it get used to your smell, and it won't scratch you anymore after you feed it a few more times."
Zhou Yangze carefully hugged the cat. It was so small and soft, and it looked at him with its round eyes. He immediately decided to buy the most expensive cat food and the best cat litter for it in the future.
Zhou Yangze usually tries to get off work on time, but he occasionally has to work overtime. This day was one of those days. The film and television project he had taken on had reached a critical stage, so he had to stay, so he sent a message to inform Du Ningyou in advance.
"Wife, I have to work overtime today and can't go home for dinner. [crying][crying][crying]"
Du Ningyou was still relaxed at the moment. Seeing Zhou Yangze's message, he replied, "Okay. Then I'll go have dinner with Ke Huan and Jin Yue. It's been a while since I've had dinner with them."
Zhou Yangze had hoped to get a few words of reluctance or pity for him, but Du Ningyou didn't mind at all and immediately had other plans. He felt a little jealous and replied sarcastically, "You guys can get together. Let me, a poor ox and horse, continue to grind the mill miserably."
Du Ningyou felt something was wrong, but the dry words didn't convey any emotion, so she replied comfortingly: "Hubby, you've worked hard. I'll bring you something delicious when I get home."
“[Hmph]”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yangze was about to order takeout when Guan Zhuo came in to deliver some documents. He asked, "Guan Zhuo, what do you want for dinner? I'll treat you."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, but you don't need it." He smiled shyly, "My girlfriend said she would send it to me later."
“…”
Zhou Yangze was devastated. He looked at other people's girlfriends and then at his own wife. How could he be so pitiful that he had to order takeout by himself? He was so miserable!!!
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when Zhou Yangze got home after working overtime. When he entered the house, he saw Du Ningyou playing with "Yuanbao" in the living room.
"Yuanbao" is the name they gave to the kitten because it is round and has colorful stripes on its body, which looks very festive, so they gave it this name.
He looked at the entrance for a while, the warmly decorated living room, his soft and sweet wife, and the lively and cute kitten, and his original fatigue was instantly cured.
He changed his leather shoes at the entrance and walked lazily towards his wife in the living room step by step.
He took off his suit jacket and casually held it in his hand, then loosened his tie and pulled it completely away from his neck.
Du Ningyou turned around when she heard the voice and saw him coming back, and said happily, "Husband, you're back!"
"Yeah." She unbuttoned two buttons with one hand, revealing her sexy and delicate collarbone.
"Do you smell anything? I brought you some braised pork ribs!"
"I smell it." He threw the clothes onto the sofa.
"You look listless. Are you tired from working overtime?" Du Ningyou put down the cat toy, stood up and walked towards Zhou Yangze.
He stopped where he was and waited for his wife to come closer.
Du Ningyou approached and pushed him into the sofa, then sat over. He kneaded his shoulders face to face and said sweetly, "Thank you for your hard work, husband!"
Zhou Yangze stared at her meaningfully, and put his hands skillfully around her waist.
"We went to Jinweixuan today. Besides the braised pork ribs, their other dishes are also good. Let's go together next time." Du Ningyou said.
"good."
"My eldest brother and second sister are getting married soon, and I can't think of a good gift to give them. It's really worrying me to death."
"It's still early, you can think about it slowly." A pair of big hands slowly stroked her lower back.
"That's right. When you're done, let's go out for a walk and pick some."
"good."
"When you're done with your work, we can go traveling. It's been a long time..." She suddenly choked.
Zhou Yangze approached leisurely, chuckled and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"What are you doing?"
The smile on his face grew wider, and he responded word by word: "What do you think?"
"Aren't you... tired?"
Someone straightened up and kissed her on the lips.
"Tired..." He pecked her gently, one by one.
"It doesn't affect anything..." His hands' movements became more and more outrageous.
"What's next."
After saying that, he picked her up and walked towards the bedroom while kissing her. His deep desire gradually revealed in his slightly panting breath.
"I'm covered...in cat hair."
"Let's wash together."
Then he raised his foot and the bedroom door slammed shut.
In the middle of the night, there was only a dim wall lamp in the bedroom. Du Ningyou lay weakly in Zhou Yangze's arms, her eyes red from obviously crying, while someone looked satisfied and was still whispering to her.
Just now, Zhou Yangze deliberately played tricks on her to make her fully express her deep love for him, saying that she couldn't live without him and that she would only love him in this life. Thinking of those dirty tricks, she couldn't help but pinch the person under her hard. Zhou Yangze hissed, wrapped her soft hand around his mouth and kissed it.
"Calm down, you love me so much, you should be heartbroken if I pinch you."
“…” She was too tired to complain.
Someone smiled smugly, reached out to turn off the light, then pulled the person into his arms and adjusted him into a comfortable position.
"Go to sleep, wife."
"I love you."
