Chapter 36: Sharing a Bed



Although Wei Hanzhou still had a stern face at this moment, Liu Tangxi could see a hint of anger on this cold and ugly face.

Because the bowl was too hot, Liu Tangxi walked over and placed the bowl on the desk in front of Wei Hanzhou without waiting for his reply. After putting the bowl down, he exhaled and blew on his red hands.

After a pause, looking at Wei Hanzhou who was staring at her from a short distance away, Liu Tangxi asked enthusiastically: "Husband, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Wei Hanzhou was still looking at Liu Tangxi at this moment, but he didn't say anything.

Liu Tangxi was used to this and continued to ask, "Are you dizzy? Do you have a runny nose? Is your forehead hot?"

Wei Hanzhou still didn't answer.

Seeing that Wei Hanzhou still didn't speak, Liu Tangxi frowned slightly and looked at his forehead.

Could it be that...she should touch it with her own hands?

Liu Tangxi's hands were eager to move.

Just as he was about to lift it up, Wei Hanzhou spoke up: "I'm fine."

Liu Tangxi looked at Wei Hanzhou's face carefully and saw that he did not seem to be unwell. Then, remembering that his voice just now was quite normal and he did not have a stuffy nose, he did not ask any more questions.

Turning around, looking at the bowl of ginger soup he had brought over, he urged: "In that case, drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm yourself up."

Wei Hanzhou's gaze finally moved from Liu Tangxi to the ginger soup in front of him. He looked like he didn't want to drink it much.

Seeing this, Liu Tangxi quickly explained: "This ginger soup is delicious. It's not bitter, nor spicy, and it has sugar in it. Shulan and her siblings all say it's delicious."

Why does this sound like you're coaxing a child?

Wei Hanzhou pursed his lips, picked up the ginger soup in front of him, and said two words briefly: "Thank you."

Liu Tangxi just stood there with a smile on his face, supervising Wei Hanzhou as he finished a bowl of ginger soup.

After he finished drinking, Liu Tangxi took the bowl from him, pursed her lips, and said, "Thank you so much for last night, my husband."

Wei Hanzhou knew what Liu Tangxi was talking about. However, since Liu Tangxi was serious for once, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yeah." Wei Hanzhou responded lightly.

Liu Tangxi was not affected by his indifference at all. She smiled and said, "There's more in the pot. If you want to drink, I'll serve you more later."

"No need." Wei Hanzhou said a few more words.

"Oh, it's okay. It's no problem. Just study hard. I'll leave first."

"......Yeah." There was a hint of helplessness on Wei Hanzhou's face.

With a smile on his face, Liu Tangxi left the study at a brisk pace. As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw Li coming back from outside.

Li looked at the bowl in Liu Tangxi's hand, then looked in the direction of the study and asked, "Did you just go to give ginger soup to the third child?"

Liu Tangxi nodded and explained, "Well, my husband got up early this morning, and I was afraid he might catch a cold, so I brought him a bowl. There's still a lot in the pot, so you should drink a bowl too, just to be on the safe side."

Li waved her hands and said, "No, no, I'm warm."

After saying that, he glanced at the empty bowl in Liu Tangxi's hand and said, "Has the third brother finished drinking?"

Liu Tangxi didn't understand and nodded. They had indeed finished drinking it, she saw it with her own eyes, but was there anything strange about it?

"This is strange. The third child has always hated the taste of ginger. He never eats ginger or drinks ginger soup. What's wrong this time?"

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi looked at Li in surprise.

Wei Hanzhou doesn't like the taste of ginger?

But he just drank very happily.

After Li finished speaking, it was unknown what she was thinking of, and her eyes were filled with smiles as she looked at Liu Tangxi.

"No matter what his reason is, it's fine as long as he drinks. He studies hard every day, so you should take care of him more."

Liu Tangxi nodded quickly in agreement.

However, looking at the remaining ginger soup in the pot, Liu Tangxi hesitated for a long time and still did not send it to Wei Hanzhou.

It looked like Wei Hanzhou was not ill, and he did not like the taste of ginger. She made this to thank him, and it would be bad to force him to drink something he did not like.

It was almost the New Year, and it should have been a busy time with many relatives visiting. However, not many relatives came to the third family of Wei.

When the third brother Wei divided up the family property, he had a lot of unpleasantness with the old house. In addition, he was very poor when he divided up the property, so none of the relatives from the old house came to their place.

The relatives who came to the Wei family now were from the Li, Zhang and Zhou families.

Liu Tangxi was a person of unknown identity, and no one knew where his home was, let alone that he was visiting relatives.

Liu Tangxi was quite happy that there were few relatives visiting the Third Wei family. Although it was lively with more people, the looks she got from them really made her uncomfortable. Moreover, with more relatives coming, she had to keep busy.

I am busy preparing before the guests arrive, cooking when the guests arrive, and washing the dishes and cleaning after the guests leave.

Having a guest is like fighting a battle, it's really tiring.

Now that not many people come, Liutangxi is quite quiet.

I cook during the day and then eat, drink and play with the children. I am very happy.

However, when the night came, trouble came.

After curling her feet and lying on the bed, Liu Tangxi let out a comfortable sigh.

The quilt below was the one she often used, and it was aired today, so it was very comfortable. The quilt above was newly made by Li, it was thick and very warm.

Liu Tangxi's sense of happiness has skyrocketed.

However, the warmth stopped the moment Wei Hanzhou came back.

Wei Hanzhou did not do anything different from usual when he came back. He started to make his bed right after he came back. Looking at Wei Hanzhou's thin bedding, a thin quilt, and then looking at the two quilts on his body, Liu Tangxi felt a little guilty.

The weather is extremely cold today, and she knows very well how it feels to cover herself with a quilt.

She was frozen awake when Wei Hanzhou came back last time a month ago.

Even if Wei Hanzhou had body heat, he probably wouldn't be very warm now.

The bed she was sleeping on was Wei Hanzhou's, and the quilt she was covering herself with was also from the Wei family. Moreover, the new quilt on top was the one Wei Hanzhou personally asked Li for last night.

Looking at the bed she slept on, it looked to be at least two meters wide.

The bed that Wei Hanzhou slept on looked to be only about one meter wide. If he didn't sleep well, the quilt would probably fall off.

Thinking that it was cold weather and it was New Year's Day, and Wei Hanzhou would have to take an exam next fall, Liu Tangxi felt a little soft-hearted.

But no matter how soft-hearted she was, how should she explain this matter?

Even though she wasn't the shy person, she really couldn't bring herself to say it.

After struggling for a long time, seeing that Wei Hanzhou was about to fall asleep, Liu Tangxi asked: "Um, husband, you...you..."

Liu Tangxi said "you" several times but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Wei Hanzhou was surprised and looked over.

"Are you cold?" When the words came to his lips, Liu Tangxi changed the question.

Wei Hanzhou didn't expect her to ask this question. He glanced at the two quilts on Liu Tangxi's body, then looked down at his own quilt and said, "It's not cold."

The words "It's not cold" instantly silenced what Liu Tangxi really wanted to say next.

Forget it, forget it. The other person isn't cold at all, why is she still worrying about it?

"Oh." Liu Tangxi responded coldly, turned around, and blew out the candle on the table with a "puff".

Wei Hanzhou watched Liu Tangxi's series of actions and frowned slightly in the darkness.

Why are you angry again?

After a long time, Wei Hanzhou withdrew his gaze from Liu Tangxi and turned to his own bed.

The next morning, Wei Hanzhou was woken up by the cold again. The feeling of being cold all over was really uncomfortable.

However, to his surprise, after being woken up by the cold for two consecutive days, he did not feel any discomfort at all, nor did he have any signs of catching a cold. In addition, his mind was still clear. In fact, his mind was clearer than before when he slept comfortably in school.

No relatives came yesterday, but many came today.

Because there were so many relatives coming, there were not enough tables, chairs and benches in the main room, so the chairs in Liu Tangxi's room and Wei Hanzhou's study were also moved out.

Ever since the relatives came, Wei Hanzhou stopped reading in the house and came out to entertain the guests.

Seeing how Wei Hanzhou handled the situation with ease, Liu Tangxi was really impressed.

Seeing Wei Hanzhou not talking on weekdays, she thought he was not good at speaking and probably couldn't chat with his relatives. But he was sitting there chatting happily. As they chatted, everyone's eyes were focused on him, listening to him carefully.

I didn't expect that Wei Hanzhou could not only flatter and curry favor with the powerful in the court, but also be so approachable when chatting with relatives in the countryside.

Can……

This bastard is so frugal with his words towards her!

In an instant, Liu Tangxi's gaze changed from admiration to disgust.

I won’t watch it anymore. I’d better focus on cooking so as not to upset others.

After working all day, I smell like oil and smoke.

Liu Tangxi really couldn't stand the smell on her body. Even though the weather was cold, she still endured the cold and washed her hair, and then took a quiet bath in the evening.

After doing all this, he went to bed shivering and hugged the quilt to keep warm.

After holding the quilt for about half an hour, Liu Tangxi felt warmer and his body was not shaking as much.

There are usually no entertainment activities at night, and now the light in the house is dim, so reading or embroidering will hurt your eyes. The only thing you can do is probably sleep.

Maybe she was too tired during the day. She had just washed herself and felt very warm. Gradually, Liu Tangxi felt sleepy.

However, she felt as if she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember what it was.

About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Tangxi heard the door open. As he was not sleeping soundly, he woke up suddenly.

I turned over and took a look, and it turned out that it was Wei Hanzhou who came back.

After Wei Hanzhou entered the room, he glanced at Liu Tangxi who was lying on the bed, then moved his gaze to the side and started to make his own bed.

However, as soon as I moved the cabinet to the middle, I found something wrong.

Seeing Wei Hanzhou pause for a moment, Liu Tangxi also understood where the problem lay.

It was a coincidence today as Zhang and Li's families came together. There were so many people that there were not enough chairs in the main room.

She then remembered that she had a chair in her room, so she moved it over.

But she forgot to move it back for Wei Hanzhou.

Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi sat up immediately.

Wei Hanzhou was frowning in thought, when he heard Liu Tangxi's movement and looked over.

"Uh, well, I'm sorry, I moved to the main room during the day and forgot to move back." Liu Tangxi apologized.

The main room was already closed at this moment. The night before yesterday, Wei Hanzhou had already woken up Wei Laosan and Li, and Wei Daniu and his wife were also woken up by him.

He went there because Liu Tangxi had no quilt to cover herself with and was cold.

Now, for my own sake, it is really unnecessary, and there is no reason to explain it clearly.

"It's okay." Wei Hanzhou said.

Liu Tangxi looked at the big bed she slept in, and the thing she thought of yesterday came back to her mind. After struggling for a while, she said hesitantly, "How about..."

Before he could finish his words, Wei Hanzhou turned around and walked out.

Liu Tangxi swallowed the rest of the words back.

Then, Liu Tangxi heard the sound of a door opening and closing.

When he came back, Wei Hanzhou was holding a chair in his hand. This chair was bigger and taller than the one in the house.

From what he just heard, Liu Tangxi inferred that this chair was taken out of the study by Wei Hanzhou.

Soon, Wei Hanzhou found that the chair was not suitable and stood in the room in a daze.

The chairs and cabinets were at different heights, so he used everything he could. Now, looking at the uneven "bed", he began to think about what else he could use to cushion it.

Liu Tangxi had been staring at Wei Hanzhou and naturally noticed his predicament.

Seeing that he had been cleaning for a long time but still hadn't finished, she finally said what she had been holding back in her heart: "Don't bother, or just go to bed."

Hearing this, Wei Hanzhou raised his eyes and looked at Liu Tangxi.

How to describe that look? It seemed a little surprised, and as if he was examining her.

For some reason, when seeing Wei Hanzhou's eyes, Liu Tangxi's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

What's that look in Wei Hanzhou's eyes?

God knows how much courage it took for her to say those words just now, but this was Wei Hanzhou's reaction?

Liu Tangxi suddenly got angry and yelled at Wei Hanzhou, "What are you looking at? If you don't want to sleep up here, just sleep on the floor."

After yelling, he immediately lay down and covered his head.

In the darkness, she heard her heart pounding and her face seemed to be a little hot.

One is shyness, the other is anger.

She had done him the favor of letting him sleep in her bed, shouldn't he be overjoyed and grateful to her? Why was he so calm? It looked like he was thinking about how to reject her.

Is he abandoning her?

When he thought of this, Liu Tangxi suddenly became furious.

She shouldn't have said that just now. Not only did the other party not appreciate it, but she also made herself embarrassed.

After taking a few deep breaths, Liu Tangxi decided that he couldn't let himself continue to be embarrassed like this.

The next moment, Liu Tangxi lifted the quilt covering his body, sat up from the bed, and added to Wei Hanzhou: "You deserve to be frozen to death!"

The tone of voice was one of anger and shame.

Wei Hanzhou was just about to walk towards the bed with the quilt in his arms when he heard these words and stopped again.

After Liu Tangxi finished yelling, he suddenly realized that Wei Hanzhou wanted to go to bed. After saying that, although he felt happy, he also felt a little regretful now.

She just had too much on her mind.

She thought Wei Hanzhou despised her and didn't appreciate her kindness. But now that she saw that Wei Hanzhou appreciated her kindness and didn't mean to despise her, Liu Tangxi's momentum weakened.

The two looked at each other for a long time. Liu Tangxi coughed lightly to ease the awkward atmosphere. Then, he slowly moved his body inside. After moving for a long time, he put his pillow inside again.

After moving to the corner, Wei Hanzhou put his own bright red pillow embroidered with a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, which was exactly the same as Liu Tangxi's, on the head of the bed, placing it side by side with Liu Tangxi's.

Looking at these two identical pillows that carry some kind of meaning, Liu Tangxi's face suddenly felt hot.

At this moment, she was extremely thankful that the light in the room was very dim, and she was inside, it was pitch dark and she couldn't see clearly.

Otherwise, Wei Hanzhou would definitely notice her blushing face.

She must not let this man find out!

After putting the pillow in place, Wei Hanzhou placed the quilt on the bed, folded it in a few strokes, then blew out the candles and lay down on it.

Liu Tangxi was still sitting.

Seeing Wei Hanzhou so calm, she suddenly wondered if she was too restless.

Covering his chest tightly, Liu Tangxi forced himself to calm down.

Liu Tangxi looked down at the quilt, then turned her head to look at Wei Hanzhou who was lying on the bed, pursed her lips, and raised her hand to give him half of the quilt.

After doing all this, Liu Tangxi held his breath and lay down.

This was the first time Liu Tangxi lay in bed with a man.

This feeling is really fresh.

But for some reason, after lying down, the embarrassment in her heart seemed to disappear, and was replaced by her heart beating non-stop.

Why is this happening? Liu Tangxi really doesn't understand himself.

Because her heartbeat was too loud, she quickly turned over and went to sleep inside.

Not long after, Liu Tangxi gradually fell asleep.

Wei Hanzhou, who was lying beside her, listened to the sound of her even breathing, opened his eyes and looked at the bed curtain.

He was not as calm as Liu Tangxi thought.

From the moment I lay down, I could smell a faint aroma. The previous two days, the aroma came from the quilt and was light. But now, as I was closer, it was a bit stronger.

Moreover, this fragrance seemed to have life, surrounding me everywhere.

Can't hide, can't get away.

When Liu Tangxi gave him half of the quilt, Wei Hanzhou felt that the fragrance seemed stronger than before, and he became more sober.

Wei Hanzhou spent a full hour on this blink of an eye. He memorized two pages of the book he had read today and wrote a policy paper in his mind. He was still clear-headed.

Wei Hanzhou froze instantly until a stream of hot air blew into his neck.

After a moment, Wei Hanzhou regained his composure and looked down.

What caught my eye was a head of jet-black hair, and the fragrance of the hair lingered on my clothes.

After taking a few deep breaths, Wei Hanzhou pushed Liu Tangxi's head aside.

Then he sat up again and covered himself with the quilt again.

As a result, after a while, Liu Tangxi leaned his head over again.

Wei Hanzhou pushed it back again.

This happened several times until the ugly moment passed, and then Wei Hanzhou fell into a drowsy sleep.

The next day, Wei Hanzhou was awakened by a shout.

"Hiss, ah!" Liu Tangxi called out softly.

Wei Hanzhou immediately opened his eyes.

These eyes, which usually appear deep and calm, now reveal a hint of confusion.

"What are you doing so close to me? You're pressing on my hair." Liu Tangxi complained unhappily.

Wei Hanzhou: ...,,
