Ling Chuan withdrew his gaze, turned around and gently closed the door, while unbuttoning his clothes and reaching out to turn off the light switch.
“Pah.”
The room became dark. Ling Chuan walked to the mat with the help of the light from the window. Just as he was about to take off his clothes and lie down, he suddenly heard a woman's sleepy voice complaining behind him.
"Why did you turn off the light?"
So coquettish and soft, just like she is acting like a spoiled child.
Lingchuan looked back.
He was used to groping in the dark and had excellent eyesight. Even though the room was pitch black, he could vaguely see the woman's slender figure as she sat up.
"Don't you turn off the lights before you sleep?" he asked.
"Well, I left the light on on purpose. I'm afraid of the dark. Please turn on the light."
It turned out that the light was not left on for him on purpose, but because he was afraid of the dark.
Ling Chuan's mouth curled up coldly, "We don't have the habit of sleeping with the lights on in our family."
After saying that, he took off his clothes, lay on the floor, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
Seeing that the man refused to turn on the light, Yun Mo had no choice but to throw off the quilt and get out of bed, groping towards the light switch with both hands.
Yun Mo was totally unaccustomed to this completely dark environment and lost her direction after only taking a few steps.
Seeing that the woman's white and tender feet were about to step on his face, Ling Chuan raised his hand and grabbed them.
"Hey, why are you touching me? Are you being naughty?"
Ling Chuan: “…”
It feels incredibly smooth and soft to the touch, just like a freshly steamed white flour bun.
"You're still pinching! Let go!"
Yun Mo tried hard to pull her feet back, but the man suddenly let go of her hand, and inertia caused her to fall on her butt.
“It hurts so much…”
The Ling family's house is a small compound, about the size of a palm. Every noise made by the two people was heard by Ling Jiang and Li Li who were sleeping in the main room next door.
Li Li glanced at her husband who was sleeping like a dead pig and shouted at the top of her voice: "Chuanzi, keep the noise down, the children are all asleep!"
In the bridal chamber, Yun Mo, who was holding her buttocks with tears in her eyes, was stunned for a moment, and her voice was drowsy, "She, what do they think we are doing?"
"If you make any louder noises, everyone on the street will think we are doing something."
“…”
Yun Mo covered her mouth and murmured softly and aggrievedly, "It's all your fault. Who told you to touch my feet?"
"If you don't step on my face, I won't touch you."
"Who told you to turn off the lights? I didn't tell you to sleep on the floor."
"You mean, you sleep on the floor and I sleep on the bed?"
"...Of course not. It's your fault that you have no ability and can only live in such a small house. If the house is big enough, would I be able to step on you after taking two steps?"
In the darkness, Ling Chuan did not respond.
The atmosphere was somewhat condensed.
Yun Mo also realized that her words were a bit hurtful to the man's self-esteem. Just as she was hesitating whether to apologize, she saw a tall black shadow looming towards her.
Yun Mo's heart tightened. "As a real man, hitting a woman is the most incompetent behavior. If you have the ability, you can walk sideways outside and make everyone outside afraid of you. That's what a man should do..."
“Pah.”
The light was turned on and the vision suddenly became clear. Yun Mo was stunned for a moment and the rest of the words were stuck in her throat.
Ling Chuan looked down at her. Because of the light behind him, she couldn't see his expression clearly, but she felt inexplicably that there was some danger.
"Go to sleep, I was already asleep, but you woke me up!"
After saying that, she climbed onto the bed, covered herself with the quilt, turned over, leaving the man with only the back of her head.
Ling Chuan stared at her for a moment, then went back to lie down on the floor.
A dreamless night.
In the morning, Yun Mo was awakened by a noise. When she opened her eyes, she saw the man's firm and powerful naked back.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, every muscle shows masculine beauty.
Is this something she can watch for free?
Yun Mo watched without blinking.
As if he noticed her gaze, Ling Chuan turned his head, then picked up the blue shirt on the table and put it on.
Yun Mo curled her lips regretfully, stretched, pulled the quilt and prepared to go back to sleep, but she heard the man talking to her.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Get up when you wake up, it's time for breakfast."
Yun Mo was not actually hungry, but she had been in poor health in her previous life and had developed a habit of keeping fit. Her instinct forced her to get out of bed.
Although she was mentally prepared, Yun Mo was still surprised by the blandness of the breakfast.
There was white porridge that was so clear that you could see a person's face in it, a few stone-like steamed buns made of multi-grain, and a large pot of leftover stew from yesterday's banquet. All kinds of dishes were mixed together, giving off a strange smell that made me feel nauseous just by looking at it.
The only thing that made Yun Mo hungry was the boiled egg on the table.
Yun Mo looked at this, then looked at that, and reached out to take the egg to eat, but her hand was intercepted by someone before it was halfway in the air.
Li Li picked up the egg, peeled it quickly, broke it into small pieces and fed it to her son.
Seeing Yun Mo staring at Ling Jiale eating eggs in a daze, Ling Jiang immediately asked his wife: "Mom, do you have any eggs at home? Cook another one."
Li Li rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "That's easy for you to say. Do you think eggs fall from the sky and don't cost money to buy?"
"What are you talking about? How can an egg be so expensive? It's only five cents."
"What do you mean 5 cents? That was last year's price. Everything has gone up since the beginning of this spring. Now eggs are 80 cents a pound, which means an egg costs 8 cents!"
Ling Jiang smacked his lips, "So much increase? Why haven't I seen wages increase so fast?"
After that, he continued, "Oh, 8 points is 8 points. You can cook another one for your sister-in-law. She is new here and can't be used to these coarse foods..."
"Oh, if she can't get used to it, then I can? I've been married to you for so many years, when have you ever cared about me? Ren Chuanzi hasn't said anything, why are you so anxious!"
Only then did Yun Mo realize that the two people were arguing because of her, and she felt a little embarrassed.
"Brother and sister-in-law, stop arguing. I don't want to eat eggs. I just want to drink porridge!"
After saying that, she picked up the bowl and took a big sip, but the porridge was too hot, so she quickly spat it out.
“It’s too hot…”
Ling Chuan glanced at her, suddenly put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked out with big strides.
Yun Mo didn't care too much. She waited for the porridge to cool down a little, then lowered her head and drank it slowly.
I don’t know if it was because the rice was bad or the pot was not cleaned clean, but there was a faint sour smell in the porridge. Yun Mo could only drink half a bowl and couldn’t finish it anymore.
"Aunt, you have to finish the rice in your bowl. Don't waste food."
After hearing what her niece said, Yun Mo suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I'm full."
Ling Jiang hurriedly said, "It's okay, sister-in-law, just leave it there and give it to Chuanzi later."
Yun Mo was a little surprised to hear that she had to give the leftovers to her cheap husband.
