Chapter 258: Three Treasures in One Birth: My Sweet Wife (5)

Shen Ci followed Li Chi to the old lady's house to have a bowl of ginger soup and a meal.

After dinner, Shen Ci opened her mouth and chatted with the old lady: "Auntie, is there only one person at home?"

"Yes, my young man and daughter are both in the city. They are already adults, and they are definitely older than you, hehe. They all want to bring me to live in the city, but I have lived here all my life. My husband and I are also from here. They say that people return to their roots, and I think that even if I die, I want to die here." The old lady said with a kind smile.

Although he is an old man, he is surprisingly open-minded when it comes to death.

Shen Ci couldn't help but laugh along: "Yes, people will eventually return to their roots. I hope that one day, I can also return to my roots."

"You are so young, don't say such things!" the old lady said to her in a stern tone.

Shen Ci nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! I said the wrong thing."

"Child, what are you going to do next? Stay for a few days or leave?" the old lady asked business-like questions.

"We definitely can't leave today, but maybe we can leave tomorrow? Is there a boat on this island?" Shen Ci asked the old lady.

The old lady said: "Yes, of course we have it. The last thing we lack is a boat. Zhang Sheng has one. I will go and say hello to him tonight."

"How much is it? Auntie, let's leave your contact information and I'll return it to you when the time comes." Shen Ci said.

The old lady waved her hands and said, "It doesn't matter what money you pay. They sell fish every day, and you can just stop by on your way."

"Auntie, please don't lie to me and secretly give money to others to let them take me there." Shen Ci said in a very serious tone.

The old lady smiled and said, "You are so polite, kid. I know, I know."

"That's not it. It's too much trouble. I'm sorry." Shen Ci replied, "Don't say it's not a trouble. Auntie and I have only known each other for a short time."

"Okay, okay." The old lady responded helplessly.

Shen Ci was penniless now and had no way to repay the old lady, so in the afternoon he could only help her with some work to repay her.

At night, the old lady cleaned up a room for Shen Ci and Li Chi, which was the room where her children had lived before.

Although the house is very old, the room is clean and full of the atmosphere of home.

The old lady treated Li Chi as Shen Ci's son and naturally arranged for the two of them to sleep together, which made Li Chi speechless.

But he couldn't resist, because as soon as he was about to resist, Shen Ci looked at him with a smile, which seemed to say, "Just say it, do you think anyone will believe you?"

Shen Ci was washing her face with a towel and asked Li Chi: "Are you happy sleeping with me tonight?"

"Is there a big bad wolf sleeping next to Kai Xin?" The child was quite gloomy, tilting his head and speaking in a milky voice.

"Big Bad Wolf?" Shen Ci put the towel into the basin and rubbed it. "This big bad wolf might eat you tonight."

Having said that, Shen Ci wrung out the towel, then covered the child's face with it and rubbed it wildly.

Li Chi wanted to speak, but no sound came out, and only a "wuwuwu" sound came out.

After washing Li Chi's face, she pinched his cheek and exclaimed: "So tender."

"Stop pinching my face." Li Chi said, touching the place where he was pinched.

"This is a sign of my love for you." Shen Ci said.

Li Chi pouted and snorted softly: "Then you, a big bad wolf, must have a lot of people you love!"

"Who said that?" Shen Ci said.

"What I'm saying is, you must have many, many people you love," Li Chi said.

"You're wrong. I only love one person." Shen Ci rubbed his head and said, "As for the person I love, do you want to guess?"

"I'm not interested." Li Chi said.

Shen Ci scrubbed the towel clean, hung it up, and then poured out the water in the basin.

"That's right. I didn't want to tell you." She took the child and walked into the room.

I took a shower in the afternoon, so now I just need to wash up briefly.

The clothes were also washed at that time. Now Shen Ci and Li Chi are wearing clothes that belong to the old lady's family.

Wait until the clothes are dry tomorrow and then we can set off.

After returning to the room, Shen Ci lay down directly on the bed, occupying most of the bed.

Seeing the child standing by the bed without moving, he moved to the side, patted the bed and said, "Why are you standing there? Don't you want to sleep?"

Li Chi's face turned slightly red, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Men and women should not touch each other."

"Hey, hey, you are only a few years old, and you told me that you shouldn't touch anything." Shen Ci lay on his side, supporting his face with his hands.

"What's wrong with being three years old? At the age of three, I am also a man." Li Chi said proudly with his little face raised.

Shen Ci waved to him and asked him to come over.

But he did not move, standing there alertly, and asked Shen Ci: "What do you want to do?"

"Come here and do nothing." Shen Ci said with a smile.

"Will you lie to me?" Li Chi asked her.

Shen Ci did not answer.

The child hesitated and slowly moved to the bed.

Shen Ci rushed over to him and carried him to the bed: "You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you're talking to me about being a man, you're just a little brat."

"You, you, you! Let me go!" Li Chi was held so tightly by her that he couldn't move and made helpless baby sounds.

Shen Ci wrapped him in a quilt, put him on the bed, and said, "Stop making a fuss. I won't share the same quilt with you. Go to sleep, dear."

Having said that, Shen Ci yawned, covered himself with another quilt, turned his back to the child, and fell asleep.

Li Chi looked at her back, not knowing why, but feeling a little unhappy.

It's definitely not because he's looking forward to sleeping with her!!!

Thinking of this, Li Chi quietly moved his body and moved closer to Shen Ci.

Well! It wasn't that he wanted to sleep with her, but he was only three years old and it was his first time sleeping in an unfamiliar place, so he was a little scared.

Amidst his endless thoughts, his relaxed eyes gradually closed and he fell asleep.

The sleeping child's body completely betrayed him, and he only wanted to lean towards Shen Ci.

Shen Ci said she slept, but she was not asleep. She felt a warm ball of Li Chi sticking to her back, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I didn't dare to turn over at all, because if I did, I would press down the child behind me.

"What do you think of him? I am his enemy, right? Why is he so close to me?" Shen Ci asked the system with a sigh.

I don't know why, but the system heard a hint of... showmanship...

[It is very strange. The strangest thing is that he is still so close to you even though he has not lost his memory. But how could he not have lost his memory?] The system stroked its chin and asked with a frown.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Shen Ci said lazily.

[Isn't the host the best at guessing?] The system said.

"I can guess, but it's not a blind guess. I've only been in this world for a short time. How can I guess with this little information?" Shen Ci asked it.

The system thought about it carefully and realized that no matter how powerful the host was, he couldn't know everything just by knowing a little information.

[That's right, but host, can I ask you something? ]
