Chapter 41 Slow Down
Chunzhi's face flushed so much that she quickly looked away and didn't look at him.
It was already early summer, and it was still a bit chilly to take a cold shower at night.
She wanted to remind Huo Qi to be careful not to catch a cold, but the words were on the tip of her tongue and she couldn't open them.
Huo Zheng was using well water to extinguish his anger in the yard. He knew Chunzhi was standing by the window, so he didn't hide from her and just picked up the bucket and poured it on her.
The well water was very cold. After pouring several buckets of water, he finally felt better. He wiped his body with a towel, put on his clothes and went back to his room.
Chunzhi heard the noise and returned to the couch early and slept on the inner side.
Huo Zheng entered the room, bringing with him a gust of night wind that made the oil lamp flicker. He didn't even tie his belt, just wore his clothes open, exposing his sturdy waist to Chunzhi, and the wounds that had just healed were clearly visible.
Chunzhi was embarrassed to look at him, so she turned around and faced the inside.
Huo Zheng got on the couch and slept on the outside.
The bed was so small that the two of them were very close, so close that Haruji could feel his hot breath.
She said in a somewhat unnatural voice, "You have to get up early tomorrow, go to bed quickly."
Huo Zheng hummed and extinguished the oil lamp on the table.
The whole room was plunged into darkness in an instant.
The faint moonlight shines through the window, and the scene inside the house can be vaguely seen.
Huo Zheng lowered the red curtain, Chunzhi turned over and met the man's gaze.
Just as she was about to speak, Huo Qi pulled her into his arms, pressed his lips against hers, and kissed her.
What Haruji wanted to say was blocked between her lips and tongue.
She wanted to push Huo Qi away, but Huo Qi hugged her even tighter.
The man's embrace was like iron, and she couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried. "Huo Qi..."
Last night could be said to be a drunken affair.
Both of them were very sober tonight and were truly moved.
In the darkness, Huo Zheng untied her clothes and passed all his warmth to her.
Chunzhi couldn't break free, so she just sank into it with him.
Just as...
Just think of it as having a child.
Thinking this way, Chunzhi no longer resisted the man. Instead, she cooperated very well and even took the initiative.
A night of passion and enthusiasm.
Huo Zheng didn't stop until dawn.
The two of them lay in the red tent, hugging each other and sleeping.
Not long after, Chunzhi struggled to sit up and put on her clothes.
Huo Zheng held her in his arms, "It's not even daybreak yet."
"I have to get up and make tofu." Chunzhi was very sleepy and could not even open her eyes, but she thought that she could not delay her business any longer today.
Huo Zheng said in a low, hoarse voice, "Sleep a little longer."
"You sleep, I have to get up." Chunzhi pulled herself out of his arms, put on her clothes while standing up, stepped over Huo Qi, and when she touched something, she took a breath.
Huo Zheng sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's all your fault." Chunzhi pushed him, "I told you to stop, but you refused..."
Huo Zheng said: "I will pay more attention next time."
"Do you want to have another chance?"
Chunzhi opened her beautiful eyes wide and stared at him.
Huo Zheng smiled and said, "You were the one who wanted to sleep in the same bed with me, so why isn't there a next time?"
Chunzhi pushed Huo Qi, put on her shoes and walked out.
She went out without even lighting the oil lamp. Huo Zheng stood up and said, "Walk slowly."
Before he could finish his words, Chunzhi tripped on the threshold.
Huo Zheng flew over and held the man in his arms. "I told you to walk slowly. You didn't even turn on the lights. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Chunzhi opened her mouth but no words came out.
She couldn't help but think: It's all because of you!
Huo Zheng helped Chunzhi stand steadily. "How much money can you make from selling tofu in a day? It's better not to sell this tofu."
"That's easy for you to say." Chunzhi said unhappily, "If I don't sell tofu, what will I eat? What will you drink?"
Huo Zheng said, "If you follow me, how can I let you starve?"
Chunzhi said, "I am supporting you now. If I ask you to support me, what will you do?"
She went forward without waiting for Huo Zheng to speak.
Huo Zheng stood there for a while. He was born noble and had never lacked money. He had never thought about how to make money.
Chunzhi asked him what he could do. He knew a lot, but none of them could be exchanged for money.
Huo Zheng didn't think too much about it. He walked to the stove, lit a fire, and started cooking porridge.
Chunzhi was grinding beans in front. When the tofu was ready, Huo Zheng's porridge was also cooked.
When Yuzhu stood up, she saw both of them busy. She walked up and called out "Brother-in-law" and went to Chunzhi.
Chunzhi had already made the tofu, put it into a tofu box, put it on a cart, and pushed it into the yard.
She had been busy all morning and was sweating a lot, so she raised her sleeve to wipe it off.
Yuzhu was about to step forward to help, but Chunzhi quickly said, "I'm used to doing these jobs by myself, so I don't need your help."
Yuzhu didn't take action because of this.
Chunzhi turned around and said, "I smell the aroma of porridge."
Yuzhu said, "It's my brother-in-law who is cooking porridge."
Huo Qi has been making breakfast for two days in a row.
Chunzhi said, "You go have breakfast first. I'll come after I wash my hands."
Yuzhu responded and went to serve the porridge. After Chunzhi came over, she fried two egg pancakes and brought the porridge and salted duck eggs to the eight-immortal table together.
The three of them sat together and made breakfast.
Huo Zheng remained silent.
Chunzhi asked Yuzhu: "How did you sleep last night?"
"I slept very well." Yuzhu said, "I haven't slept so peacefully in a long time."
Ever since the eldest son took away her innocence that night, she has been restless day and night and has not slept well for two whole months.
Only when I come to Sister Chunzhi's place can I temporarily let down my guard and sleep peacefully.
"As long as you can sleep and eat your fill, nothing else matters." Chunzhi said soothingly, "Just live here peacefully. If you're bored, do some needlework. I remember you're very good at it."
Yuzhu nodded and said, "Okay."
While Chunzhi was having breakfast, a regular customer came to buy tofu. She had to get up from time to time to entertain the guests, and she took a long time to finish a bowl of porridge.
This happened so often that when guests came, Huo Zheng, who had already finished breakfast, would simply stand up and say, "I'll do it. You eat breakfast first."
Chunzhi was a little surprised. She didn't expect Huo Qi to take the initiative to help sell tofu. But when she saw him cutting the tofu, weighing it, collecting money, and wrapping the tofu very skillfully, she sat down and ate breakfast peacefully.
Several guests came to visit one after another, and they were all entertained by Huo Qi.
These old customers even teased Chunzhi, saying, "It's different now that you have a husband. Chunzhi is going to enjoy life!"
Chunzhi felt a little embarrassed by their teasing.
Lian Yuzhu said to her, "It's fate that my sister met such a good man like her brother-in-law."
Chunzhi smiled, quickly finished her breakfast, washed the dishes, and then walked to Huo Qi, "You go and rest, I'll take care of it."
Huo Qi stood still, staring at Chunzhi, "Do you think I still need to rest?"
As soon as he said this, Chunzhi immediately remembered that last night she begged him to slow down and let her rest for a while, but this man didn't stop at all.
Her ears felt hot when she thought about it, and she lowered her voice and said to Huo Qi: "Yuzhu is still here, can you..."
