Chapter 13 Do you want to sleep in separate beds?
Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and the strands of hair on her forehead were stuck to her face because of sweat.
Even so, Ruan Chuxia insisted on completing the treatment, not missing any details.
If someone who didn't know the situation saw this scene, they might misunderstand their relationship!
"alright!"
After finally completing all the steps, Ruan Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and looked up to ask.
"What do you think? The improvement may not be very obvious, but after a few more visits it should be better."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhiyu's muscles tensed up, he lowered his head and stared at the ground, and after a long while he spoke slowly.
"Good."
He felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness in his heart.
For Xiao Zhiyu, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, this was a big blow.
He had no reaction when facing his young wife.
Seeing her husband's expression change, Ruan Chuxia seemed to have noticed something.
She took out some candy from her pocket and handed it to Xiao Zhiyu, gently comforting him, "It's okay. This situation will take time to get better. Eat some candy to make you feel better!"
When taking the candy, Xiao Zhiyu couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth.
Could it be that she really treated him as a child?
Although this action was a bit laughable, it also made him feel a little warm in his heart.
Just as he was hesitating whether to peel off the candy wrapper, he found Ruan Chuxia standing up with a pillow and quilt in her arms and preparing to go out.
"Where are you going?"
Xiao Zhiyu raised his eyebrows and his face immediately turned gloomy.
Ruan Chuxia blinked, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, and she replied casually: "Of course, go to the study. You sleep here and I'll go over there."
Not long after getting married, my wife actually suggested that we sleep in separate rooms!
This made him feel an inexplicable sense of loss.
"Are you looking down on me because I'm not good enough there?"
Finally, I couldn't help but ask this question.
He was feeling uneasy and stared at her intently.
Faced with such a question, Ruan Chuxia looked at him seriously, raised her finger and swore, saying, "That's not the case at all. I just think you need to rest and recuperate now. Sleeping separately for a while will be good for you."
After saying this, Ruan Chuxia's eyes were full of sincerity.
The corners of Xiao Zhiyu's mouth rose slightly, but his expression became darker and darker!
His heart is full of contradictions.
I wanted to believe Ruan Chuxia's words, but I couldn't help but have some bad thoughts.
After a while, he stood up with a sullen face, took the quilt from Ruan Chuxia, turned around and walked outside, leaving Ruan Chuxia with only his back.
The voice came from the study.
"You just sleep in the house."
Ruan Chuxia looked at Xiao Zhiyu's back with some confusion.
I don't quite understand why this man suddenly got angry.
She muttered to herself: What on earth is going on?
He was fine just now, how come his expression changed in the blink of an eye?
Her eyes flickered, but without thinking much, she turned around and took out a new set of bedding from the red wardrobe.
These quilts were made by someone hired by Xiao Zhiyu's parents.
I used the new cotton that was just picked this year and made two quilts in total.
It is embroidered with beautiful mandarin duck patterns on red satin, which are lifelike and look very festive.
Ruan Chuxia smiled and touched the quilt. It felt really good and soft. It must be very comfortable to cover yourself with.
After washing up, she got into bed comfortably.
The quilt also exudes a faint sunshine scent.
Ruan Chuxia quickly fell into a light sleep.
Xiao Zhiyu tossed and turned in the study, unable to fall asleep.
He lay in bed, feeling increasingly restless.
The moonlight outside the window shone through the window onto the floor, reflecting his furrowed brow and tense body.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Is it because of her ignorance or because of my own pettiness?
He didn't know, he just knew that his mood was a mess.
When he recovers...
Forget it, there is still a long way to go!
Xiao Zhiyu gritted his teeth and turned over.
Perhaps, this is just temporary and there will always be a solution in the future.
At this time, Ruan Chuxia, who was immersed in a beautiful dream, didn't know it yet.
Because of his decision tonight, he would be tormented endlessly by the petty Xiao Zhiyu in the future.
The next day, just after dawn, the sound of roosters crowing in the courtyard could be heard one after another.
The dawn light gradually illuminated the yard.
Smoke rises in the distance, and a new day begins.
It was already six o'clock when Ruan Chuxia slowly opened her eyes.
Xiao Zhiyu was no longer at home. He had gotten up long ago to go to the army for training.
Although the family compound was not far from the playground, Ruan Chuxia could still hear the soldiers' slogans and sharp whistles in the distance.
She yawned, stretched, then took out the washbasin, boiled a pot of hot water and started washing.
The rising water vapor brought some warmth.
After a simple wash, she put on clean clothes, picked up the medicine box, opened the door, and prepared to go out.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a woman wearing short sleeves and medium-length hair sitting at the entrance of the family compound, humming a tune.
Ruan Chuxia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking: Who is this aunt?
What is she doing here?
The woman's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be waiting there on purpose, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"Are you the wife of Xiao Lichang?"
Ruan Chuxia raised her eyebrows and a smile appeared on her face.
"Yes, what's wrong? What do you want from me?"
There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
The middle-aged woman glanced at her, a mocking smile on her lips.
"She's good-looking, with a slim waist... Tsk tsk, you can tell at first glance that she's not someone who's content with her lot!"
Her words were full of acid.
Ruan Chuxia's face immediately turned stern and serious.
She walked over, her eyes stern, and laughed coldly.
"What do you mean by that? Are you here to cause trouble on purpose?"
"Literal thinking!"
The woman slowly stood up, looking superior. She walked up to Ruan Chuxia and said in a haughty tone, "Do you know who I am? I'm the wife of the deputy village head. Everyone in this courtyard knows my name, Chen Qin!"
"Before, in this compound, these family members all listened to me. You should have listened to me, but since you're young and don't know the rules..."
Chen Qin glared at her, her face full of disgust.
She hated women with charming looks like Ruan Chuxia.
At first glance, you can tell that he's the type to seduce people!
Chen Qin gave her a sour look and said angrily, "You're the new daughter-in-law. From now on, you have to be like everyone else here and listen to me. Harmony brings wealth. If you don't behave yourself, don't blame me for turning against you!"
Ruan Chuxia's eyes flashed slightly and she sneered.
She understood that he was here to intimidate her.
"I have no interest in the boss of this family compound, but you're right. It's better for everyone if things stay peaceful."
She said with a straight face and without fear, "I won't bother you, and you don't bother me either."
