Chapter 137 A Bowl of Soup

"Who told you that?"

Su Hang looked strange. "My neighbor's aunt said that Granny Lin's daughter ate someone else's saliva and gave birth to a child."

Zhou Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Nonsense, it's impossible. Giving birth is a very complicated process. It's not as simple as eating saliva to give birth to a child. You will know when you grow up.. Why are you asking this?"

"Ah, nothing."

Su Hang breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out it was fake, that's good.

Zhou Nuan looked at his little face that was pretending to be calm and smiled.

No matter how smart he was, he was just a kid who was almost nine years old.

The two entered the house. Qin Yuezhi saw her carrying a lot of things in her arms and asked with a smile, "What did you buy?"

"I bought a lot of food and lanterns... Aunt Li, I bought what you wanted."

Aunt Li came out of the kitchen and smiled when she saw the dried food in Zhou Nuan's hand. "That's great. Madam, wait a minute. I'll make you some soup in a while."

As a local, Aunt Li has an unusual obsession with making soup, and she is very good at making it. Zhou Nuan's stomach has been conquered during this period.

"Okay, I'll trouble Aunt Li then."

Aunt Li waved her hand and said, "It's what I should do. By the way, I noticed that Gu Sheng didn't look very well a few days ago. Did he run into any trouble?"

She looked concerned, and Zhou Nuan was confused.

Gu Xiyue is in a bad mental state?

"Maybe he's tired." He is so busy at work now.

Moreover, the atmosphere between them had been weird these past two days. She was a little hesitant to approach him, as she always felt as if his eyes could see through her.

"Hey, men are a bit tired and powerless. It's okay. It will be fine in a few days."

"Mr. Gu is coming back today, I will make him a nice soup."

Zhou Nuan hummed twice and didn't notice Aunt Li's ambiguous look.

When it was time for dinner, Gu Xiyue came back, looking exhausted. Aunt Li quickly called him, "Mr. Gu, come and eat."

After washing his hands, Gu Xiyue sat down next to Zhou Nuan. Aunt Li quickly handed him a bowl of soup. It was a pitch-black bowl and no one knew what it was made of.

Qin Yuezhi sniffed it and retracted her head: "This smells weird."

"Old lady, you don't understand. This soup is very nutritious. Don't waste it." Aunt Li pushed the bowl forward, "Mr. Gu, drink it quickly."

Gu Xiyue: . . .

I always feel like something is wrong.

He raised his head and glanced at Zhou Nuan, whose eyes were somewhat evasive, with a look of innocence on her face.

Why are you looking at her? This soup is not for her to drink. However, this smell is really not very pleasant. Fortunately, she doesn't have to drink it.

Gu Xiyue glanced at Aunt Li who looked at him in an encouraging manner, was silent for a moment, then picked up the cup and drank it.

After seeing that the soup was finished, Aunt Li collected the bowl with satisfaction, and said to Gu Xiyue with a sympathetic tone, "Mr. Gu, it's okay. Drink my soup and I guarantee you will have endless energy."

Endless energy?

Gu Xiyue paused, and watched Aunt Li humming a little tune as she left. He felt even weirder, "What did Aunt Li say?"

Zhou Nuan said “Oh”, “Maybe she saw that you were tired from work recently, so she made some tonic for you.”

At night, Gu Xiyue, with his blood boiling, finally understood what Aunt Li meant.

The woman next to him had already fallen asleep, her eyes were peaceful and she was sleeping extremely soundly, making it hard to bear to disturb her sweet dreams.

Looks like tonight is going to be a sleepless night.

He didn't want to disturb her sleep, so he tried his best to suppress it. But some things can't be suppressed just by wanting to. Especially when her sweet scent kept brushing against his neck, it was impossible to ignore it. The desire that he had suppressed with great difficulty rose again.

His anger was rising, and he could hardly control himself. He turned over and met a pair of sleepy eyes.

Gu Xiyue: . . .

Zhou Nuan yawned delicately and rubbed her eyes, "What's wrong with you?"

"...Why don't you sleep?" Gu Xiyue's voice was hoarse.

"You're so hot that I'm sweating," she complained.

No one knows what this man is made of. He is always hot-tempered. In winter, being next to him is like being next to a heater. Zhou Nuan likes to sleep next to him. After all, most girls become icy in winter. They stay warm next to Gu Xiyue. But today, he is so hot that he wakes her up.

She was so hot that she got up, took off her thick pajamas, and changed into a thin suspender nightgown. Only then did she feel a little more comfortable.

After returning to the bed, she pushed aside the quilt and sat on it. The temperature was just right and she sighed comfortably, "By the way, you don't know what Su Hang did today..."

When she looked up, she found that the man's eyes were strange, as if he wanted to tear her apart and eat her. It was the first time that Zhou Nuan saw such undisguised passion in his eyes.

"...What's wrong?"

Gu Xiyue's voice became even hoarse, "That bowl of soup..."

Zhou Nuan finally reacted.

It turned out that Auntie Li's words had a deeper meaning. She thought... This was what she meant by "not being able to do it". It seemed that Auntie Li misunderstood her because of her words "I'm tired".

She was a little embarrassed and said sheepishly, "I didn't expect Aunt Li would give you that kind of soup."

"What did you say?"

"...I didn't say anything." She sounded innocent and guilty.

"Do you think I need to drink this soup?" The man's voice was hoarse and lustful, and Zhou Nuan couldn't help but blush. "Are you not satisfied with my performance?"

"Ah? No."

She felt extremely wronged and couldn't help but hold out her hand and swear, "I definitely didn't mean that, really!"

Afraid that the man wouldn't believe her, she emphasized the last two words.

Just kidding, although she has never tried other men, the man in front of her is definitely one of the best. Sometimes she even feels that he pities her and doesn't let her suffer too much.

This bowl of soup challenges a man's self-esteem.

It was a dark night, the hazy moonlight fell on her face, she raised her finger with a serious look.

The little face was white, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and the skin was so smooth and tender that it seemed as if it could be broken by a blow. Further down, on the delicate and slender neck, a plain gold necklace was hidden in the whiteness.

Gu Xiyue only felt the sound of his blood expanding and flowing rapidly. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pinch the slender waist that could be held with one hand.

The scorching temperature of the palms was transmitted through the thin clothes, so hot that it made people tremble.

The little gap between them was completely destroyed. His voice was hoarse, but his words were serious. "What did Su Hang say?"

Zhou Nuan's head was dizzy, and she felt that the man's scorching heat was about to melt her.

"Well... he asked me if I could have a baby if I ate someone else's saliva..."

She stammered unconsciously, and Gu Xiyue's dark eyes became even deeper.

“You’ll know if you try it.”
