Chapter 115: The Flower of Gaoling is Proud and Poisonous 23
Jiang Zhi's cheek was pressed against Li Chuan's hard chest. Through the thin fabric of his shirt, she could feel his scorching body temperature, which spread from her exposed skin to her fingertips, causing her heart to tremble uncontrollably.
"Weaving..."
The voice was slightly hoarse, unable to conceal the lust, and the cedar scent at the tip of the nose seemed to have eyes and penetrated into the nose.
The hot breath hit Jiang Zhi's neck, and her earlobe was stained with a light pink.
These two simple yet ambiguous words made Jiang Zhi's whole body go limp.
When Li Chuan was not around, she could learn to be strong, but now that he is back, all her emotions have an outlet.
But Jiang Zhi took into consideration how hard he worked and managed not to lose her temper. She swallowed all her grievances, leaving the man with only longing and surging love.
"Are you done with work?"
Jiang Zhi asked in a hoarse voice
Li Chuan couldn't help but rubbed her head. His brows showed fatigue and there was a dark circle under his eyes.
The last time I saw him in such a miserable state was at Aunt Li’s funeral.
Li Chuan hummed softly and continued
"I'll have time to accompany you from now on"
Jiang Zhi's eyes were red, like a little rabbit. Compared to her, Li Chuan's reaction was too cold.
"Don't you miss me? Why didn't you cry..."
Li Chuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and lowered his head to whisper in Jiang Zhi's ear.
"If you wish, I will go back and cry for you to see."
"No, I don't want you to cry"
Jiang Zhi shook her head and hugged Li Chuan tighter.
Li Chuan gently rubbed the corners of Jiang Zhi's eyes, and a few water marks instantly appeared on his fingertips.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
“Barbecue, street stall type”
Jiang Zhi was a bit willful and thought from the bottom of her heart that Li Chuan would not lower himself to eat at a roadside stall, but unexpectedly Li Chuan just smiled and said yes.
The two of them were still strolling around the food street outside the school like college students, with gentle long hair and little black dresses, or scattered short hair and white shirts. They seemed to be a perfect match. Even if they were just walking side by side like friends, without any ambiguous movements or glances, there seemed to be a special magnetic field around them, attracting the attention of many people.
Jiang Zhi saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. It was the old lady selling brown sugar desserts. She hadn't seen him for more than two years. Her hair was completely gray and her face was covered with wrinkles.
"Grandma, do you still remember us?"
Jiang Zhi walked to the stall and greeted softly.
Hearing the voice, the old lady raised her head, her eyes full of unfamiliarity.
The old man's memory was already deteriorating, not to mention that there had been a gap of more than two years.
Jiang Zhi looked at the person beside him and said, "Achuan, I don't want to eat barbecue anymore. I want to eat this."
"Um"
Li Chuan just raised his eyebrows slightly, but was not surprised. He wiped the table and chairs beside him carefully and sat down with Jiang Zhi.
"Achuan, don't you think this scene is familiar?"
Li Chuan hummed, stood up, took the brown sugar glutinous rice cake from the old lady's hand and handed it to Jiang Zhi, mumbling a thank you.
Jiang Zhi picked up a piece with a toothpick and handed it to Li Chuan with a sweet smile on his face and a soft and pleasant voice.
"Hey, the important ones eat first."
Li Chuan grabbed Jiang Zhi's wrist, lowered his head and took a small bite, frowning almost imperceptibly.
The most similar thing between him and Jiang Zhi is that they both don't like brown sugar. However, after his careful care over the past few years, Jiang Zhi has become accustomed to the taste of brown sugar and no longer suffers from excruciating pain during special periods.
When the taste of brown sugar dissipated in his mouth, Li Chuan praised
“Very delicious”
Jiang Zhi smiled like a kitten, cutely and contentedly, with a lot of soy milk powder on the corners of her mouth.
Li Chuan took out a tissue and wiped the stuff off her face.
The old lady beside them smiled lovingly at the loving couple. Suddenly, she felt a little familiar and walked over.
"Eh? Little girl, have we met before? Why do you look familiar to me?"
Hearing the old lady's words, Jiang Zhi put down the toothpick in his hand and muttered with his mouth full.
"Yes, grandma, I drank brown sugar water here two years ago."
The old lady was silent for a moment, her eyes wandering between the two of them, as if she was thinking, and finally she suddenly realized
"Oh... I remember now. Didn't you have a boyfriend with gray hair before? He was tall and handsome?"
Jiang Zhi glanced at Li Chuan, thinking that the old lady didn't recognize him. A sense of evil interest arose spontaneously, wanting to make Li Chuan angry, and nodded cunningly.
"I still remember you two, but the boy had black hair and I didn't recognize him for a moment."
The old lady squinted her eyes as if trying to recall the scene at that time, but it was all blank. She only remembered the dazzling gray hair and the boy's eyes that were always glued to the girl.
"Does black hair look better? Gray hair looks fierce."
The old lady squinted her eyes but couldn't hide her smile, and nodded in agreement with Jiang Zhi's words.
"Grandma, where have you been these past two years? I often eat supper here, and I haven't seen you for a long time."
Jiang Zhi stuffed the last piece of glutinous rice cake into his mouth, remembering the previous times he and Wen Qing and the others went out to eat skewers, but he didn’t see the old lady’s stall.
The old lady's smile was frozen on her face, and a trace of loneliness flashed across her eyes.
“Did I say something wrong…”
The old lady sat down opposite Jiang Zhi with her body hunched over, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had found someone to confide her inner pain.
"My daughter-in-law gave birth to a little granddaughter, but she didn't have time to take care of her, so I went back to my hometown to take care of her. When she was two years old and could walk and talk, my daughter-in-law suddenly thought I was old and had a virus that could be contagious, so she kicked me out."
At this point, the old lady's eyes were filled with tears. She thought about how she was old, how she had to get up before dawn to heat milk for her child, and how she had to bathe and change diapers for her child as soon as it got dark. She had not slept well in the past two years, and in the end, she was even despised by her daughter-in-law. She had no place to vent her grievances.
Although every family has its own problems, Jiang Zhi has no right to say anything, but he still can't hide his anger.
"And your son?"
The mother who raised him for so many years was driven out by his wife with just one word?
The old lady waved her hands, as if she had suddenly aged many years, and her brows were full of vicissitudes. "Unfilial son, let's not talk about it. Now, I just hope that the old man is still waiting for me in the underworld, so that I can have a companion on the road to the underworld."
Seeing that Jiang Zhi was in a bad mood, Li Chuan rubbed her shoulders and comforted her silently.
Jiang Zhi opened his mouth, his complex emotions like a spilled seasoning bottle, condensed into an indescribable taste stuck in his throat, and in the end he could only piece together two words:
“I will…”
As long as you have a good heart, you can have a good home...
