Chapter 81 Thick-skinned, full of food
Three months had passed, and Xiao Qingru began to look forward to Xu Muzhou's return home.
Because she didn't receive the call, she didn't know when he would come back, so she could only wait and look forward to it every day.
Although the waiting process is torturous, as long as I think that I will be able to go home soon, besides the torturousness, there is more excitement.
After get off work, I went to clean the house in the tube building so that I wouldn't have to clean it when I move back.
Xiao Qingru was half asleep at night and felt warm breath on her face. She was startled and reflexively pushed away the person who was close to her.
"Wife, it's me."
"Xu Muzhou, do you want to scare me to death?"
Seeing that Xiao Qingru had fallen asleep, Xu Muzhou didn't want to wake her up, but he couldn't help wanting to secretly kiss her while she was sleeping.
I was frightened at this moment and apologized quickly.
"It's my fault. I should have spoken up when I entered the room. I won't do it again next time."
The family compound was safe, but Xiao Qingru had been sleeping alone for more than three months. If someone suddenly came to kiss her in the middle of the night, she would have been startled.
Originally, she wanted to "educate" Xu Muzhou, but seeing that he looked tired and was looking at her eagerly, Xiao Qingru couldn't bear to do it.
Forget it, let him have a good sleep first, and don't worry about it until dawn.
I reached out and pulled the bedside cord, and dim light immediately filled the room.
It also let Xiao Qingru clearly see the man's appearance.
"Go wash up first."
"I want to hug you first."
Xiao Qingru: “…”
As expected, it's still that Xu Muzhou, clingy as always!
Maybe it was because they had been separated for too long, Xiao Qingru actually felt blushing and her heart beating fast again, as if she was back to the time when she first started dating the guy.
“Washing doesn’t take time.”
Seeing that she was awake and would not be able to fall asleep again for a while, Xu Muzhou took the opportunity to make a request, "I want you to accompany me."
Xiao Qingru couldn't help laughing, and stretched out her hand to pinch Xu Muzhou's face, "You are not a child."
"Since you're not a child, you can't make requests?"
At this moment Xu Muzhou was like a big wolfdog, appearing obedient on the surface but with a domineering look in his eyes.
Xiao Qingru knew that it would be a waste of time to continue arguing, so she agreed reluctantly, "Since you sincerely invite me, I will go with you."
The man quickly kissed her on the cheek and said, "My wife is always good to me."
After not seeing each other for more than three months, Xu Muzhou missed Xiao Qingru so much that he was going crazy.
I took off my coat and carried her to the bathroom. Although I couldn't do anything, it was nice to take a few more glances at her.
At least it can ease his longing.
"I don't have shoes on!"
Xu Muzhou turned back and picked up Xiao Qingru's slippers.
After staying on the train for two days, Xiao Qingru had to take a shower. She regretted agreeing to Xu Muzhou's unreasonable request.
The weather has turned cooler this season, but Xu Muzhou is in good physical condition, so he still takes a cold shower.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs...
Xiao Qingru's face was about to burn, and she began to suspect that her brain was covered with tofu.
She only took two glances, and when the man turned to face her, she rushed out!
Xu Muzhou wiped the water droplets from his face and could only catch a glimpse of his back.
There was a fleeting smile in his eyes. How come he turned back into a little rabbit after not seeing him for a while?
The Xiao family is the only one living on the second floor, and no one comes up from home on weekdays.
Xu Muzhou realized he didn't bring any change of clothes after taking a shower.
"Wife."
The bedroom door was not closed, and Xiao Qingru could easily hear his voice.
"What?"
"Help me get my clothes."
Xiao Qingru deliberately teased him, "Why don't you just come out? There's nothing to see if you come back."
If it were at their own home, Xu Muzhou might have really done the same.
But I still can't let go at this moment.
One scripture says: "The impact is not good."
"What's wrong with that? No one else can see it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Huaishu's voice, deliberately raised, came from downstairs, "Brother-in-law, come down for supper."
Xiao Qingru was embarrassed, and she didn't know whether the people downstairs heard what she just said.
He quickly took out clothes from the luggage bag and gave them to Xu Muzhou.
Although Xu Muzhou is thick-skinned, he still has some standing in his father-in-law's family.
He quickly put on his clothes and went downstairs with Xiao Qingru.
Xiao's mother came out with a bowl of egg noodles. "Dumplings on the train, noodles on the way out. You must be hungry after sitting on the train for two days. Come eat."
Xu Muzhou smiled and said, "I had dinner on the train, but thank you anyway, Mom."
Xiao's mother looked at her son and then at her son-in-law, and felt that they had both lost some weight.
Three months of closed training was not easy.
"Eat quickly, will you take a rest tomorrow? If you do, I'll make you some meat dumplings."
Xu Muzhou nodded, "There are two days off."
"Okay, eat quickly, and then go back to your room and sleep."
"Mom, you should also go to bed early. I will take care of the dishes." Xu Muzhou said.
"Let your brother clean up. He has nothing to do anyway. Qingru has been missing you a lot during this time. Go back to your room and talk."
Xiao Qingru was shy and felt embarrassed by the teasing. "It was just a normal thought, Mom, why are you exaggerating it?"
Xu Muzhou raised the corner of his mouth, "Mom always speaks the truth."
Knowing that his wife missed him too, Xu Muzhou's tail was almost flying up to the sky.
Xiao Qingru found it unbearable to look at that proud boy.
Mother Xiao held back her laughter and stopped teasing them. She told them to finish their meals early and go to bed early, then went back to her room to rest.
Although I really want to talk to the children, it is too late now. Let's talk about it tomorrow.
"Wife, eat some more."
"No, eating midnight snacks is bad for your health."
“It’s okay to eat it once in a while.”
Xu Muzhou fed the egg to Xiao Qingru's mouth.
I didn't want to eat it at first, but Xu Muzhou had already put it in my mouth, and it would be disrespectful not to eat it.
He took a small bite and said, "Eat quickly, it's getting late."
"Um."
Xiao Huaishu looked at the two people opposite him and inexplicably felt as if nails had grown out of nowhere on his chair, and he could no longer sit still.
This was the first time he had experienced such an awkward feeling.
If it were him in the past, he would definitely stay and keep an eye on Xu Muzhou to prevent him from doing anything excessive.
But now I feel uncomfortable.
Xiao Huaishu thought that this might be the difference between being a brother-in-law and not being a brother-in-law. Now he had no right to criticize Xu Muzhou.
He sighed sadly, finished his noodles, and took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it. "You clean up the rest."
After saying that, he quickly hid back in the room.
Xu Muzhou touched her lips, which was quite perceptive.
He held Xiao Qingru's hand on his knee with his left hand and ate noodles with chopsticks in his right hand.
I can't help but sigh, this is how a man with a wife should live a happy life.
Holding the man's slightly wiry big hand, Xiao Qingru glanced at the time. It was already past two o'clock.
I couldn't help but urge him, "Eat quickly, and then go to sleep."
Xu Muzhou glanced at Xiao Qingru meaningfully, "Are you so anxious?"
Xiao Qingru's forehead was covered with black lines, and he said fiercely: "Don't force me to slap you."
Xu Muzhou: "..."
I couldn't help but chuckle, "Where do you want to hit me? I'll cooperate with you."
"Comrade Xu, I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to be much more shameless now."
After poking the handsome man's face, Xiao Qingru came to this conclusion.
"You need to be thick-skinned to have a full stomach."
He rubbed his cheek against the back of Xiao Qingru's hand, and Xu Muzhou quickened the speed of eating noodles.
In less than a minute, the two had returned to the room.
