Xu Yan always said Xie Zhuo was a pervert, but Xie Zhuo thought he was quite normal.
After all, no man can truly remain unmoved when faced with his beautiful and soft wife.
Unless he's incapable.
Anyway, Xie Zhuo felt that he was very capable and in good physical and mental health.
but……
At this moment, he couldn't help but whisper words of coaxing Xu Yan to play in the water with him, and he couldn't help but turn his head and curse himself inwardly, "You scoundrel!"
Xu Yan tried to dodge at first, but eventually she couldn't avoid it anymore, so Xie Zhuo pulled her into his arms and kissed her still damp face.
"There's a way to stop the snowman from melting further, would you like to try it?"
Xie Zhuo's voice was low and husky, and every breath he exhaled sprayed onto Xu Yan's earlobe, causing Xu Yan to tremble slightly involuntarily.
"What method?" Xu Yan's voice was not loud, and she still tried to block with her hand. Because of Xie Zhuo's words, she felt that her makeup was even more impressive.
But Xie Zhuo didn't give her that chance.
"Hmm...stop the water," Xie Zhuo's eyes were dark, filled with a mix of emotions, but his gaze remained fixed on Xu Yan's face.
Like a wolf eyeing its prey.
Unfortunately, Xu Yan was still completely drunk and couldn't see anything.
When the snowman finally melted completely, she cried for a long time before Xie Zhuo hugged her and started to comfort her.
The next morning, all five members of the family overslept. Kaixin darted from one room to another, and finally took a patrol around the yard.
An old woman living in the same courtyard broke off a piece of fried dough stick for it, and it ate it while wagging its tail.
When Xu Yan was fully awake, the sun was already high in the sky. People came to wish other residents in the courtyard a Happy New Year, and the noise and firecrackers filled the courtyard. She frowned and opened her eyes to see Xie Zhuo's still sleeping face.
Xu Yan has a low alcohol tolerance and gets drunk easily, but she doesn't black out. Although she doesn't remember the events of last night very clearly, she still remembers what Xie Zhuo coaxed her to do and say.
Thinking about last night...
Xu Yan kicked Xie Zhuo in the shin.
Xie Zhuo's eyelashes fluttered, but he didn't open his eyes. He raised his hand and pulled Xu Yan into his arms, burying his head in her neck and taking a deep sniff.
Then I fell asleep again.
Xu Yan: "..."
Because they ate with Chen Lihua and the others on the 30th, Xu Yan and the others didn't go over on the first day of the new year. After the weather warmed up a bit at noon, Xie Zhuo and Xu Yan took the three kids out for a walk.
They visited all the parks they had wanted to go to but hadn't been able to.
"Third Aunt," Lin Dong said, shaking Xu Yan's hand.
"Hmm?" Xu Yan had just finished telling Da Bao to watch the road while running when she heard his voice and looked down at him.
"Will we always be together?" Lin Dong asked.
“No way,” Xu Yan replied. After saying that, seeing that Lin Dong was standing still, she smiled and added, “When you grow up, you will have your own little family and will have to move out, just like your third aunt and third uncle.”
Lin Dong didn't say anything more.
Xie Zhuo ruffled his hair. "You're always so thoughtful. There are still more than ten years until you grow up and move away."
Seeing that Lin Dong still looked unhappy, he moved his hand down and hooked Lin Dong's chin, "Come on, give your third uncle a smile."
Lin Dong looked up and flashed his white teeth at Xie Zhuo.
“So cute,” Xie Zhuo said, pinching his chin and shaking it.
Lin Dong was genuinely amused and laughed for quite a while.
Finally, he was called away by Da Bao and the others. The three of them chased each other, their laughter echoing through the entire street.
Winter goes and spring comes, summer ends and autumn begins. Time flies by, and before you know it, Xu Yan is already a junior in college.
Xie Zhuo had long since left the school. He even dropped out after just one year of college and went to Hong Kong. The professors in the mathematics department tried everything to persuade and scold him, but in the end, they couldn't keep him.
When Xie Zhuo got home that evening, he specifically mentioned it to Xu Yan. Seeing that Xu Yan was unmoved, he was even a little unhappy.
“My teacher is more reluctant to let me go than you are,” Xie Zhuo said.
“I’m reluctant to part with him either,” Xu Yan put a piece of food on Xiao Bao’s plate, “but I’m a mature person and don’t show my emotions. Actually, you can’t see it, but I’m heartbroken and have been crying for a while now.”
Xie Zhuo: "..."
“Really,” Xu Yan cleared her throat and deliberately suppressed a sob when she saw that he didn’t believe her, “I really can’t bear to part with him.”
The three kids at the table had long been used to this situation between them. At first, they were reluctant to see Xie Zhuo leave, but after talking about leaving for a month and Xie Zhuo was still at home, their reluctance had faded.
Even when Xu Yan was just going through the motions of acting, he could still chime in with a line.
"Third Uncle, don't worry, the three of us will definitely take good care of Third Aunt, even better than when you were here," Xiao Bao said, glancing at Xie Zhuo after finishing the food in his bowl.
Xie Zhuo pinched his cheek and shook it, "You've gone astray, you little rascal."
Little Bao giggled happily.
That's what they said, but when Xie Zhuo was really about to leave, the three kids cried their hearts out.
Xie Zhuo had no choice but to sleep on the same kang (heated brick bed) with Xu Yan that night, telling them three or four stories before finally coaxing them to sleep.
In the 1980s, it was already possible to freely buy and sell houses throughout the country. When houses were first allowed to be traded, Xu Yan and Xie Zhu bought a courtyard house in the same alley as their great-aunt's house.
But the whole family still lives with their great-aunt.
Because her health has deteriorated significantly in the past two years, she fell and broke her arm when she got up at night at the end of last year, and her arm has not fully healed yet.
