Zhou Xiaoye's simple "husband" made Li Weidong extremely happy.
This time, it was as if a switch had been flipped, and Zhou Xiaoye called her husband more and more naturally.
Not only her husband, but he also changed his address for Zhao Xiulian from "aunt" to "mom," which led Zhao Xiulian to boast to everyone she met that she had a daughter-in-law.
"Honey, get up and have breakfast."
"Honey, what do you want for lunch?"
"Honey, Mom said she went to Grandpa's house and won't be back until tonight."
"husband……"
In their small home, you could hear her calling for her husband everywhere.
Li Xiaoli initially teased her, saying, "You're not even married yet and you're already calling me 'husband'? Aren't you ashamed!"
Zhou Xiaoye was not intimidated at all: "What do you mean by shameless? Your brother and I are engaged and have already exchanged betrothal gifts. Even if we're not married, he's still my husband, my man. I didn't call him the wrong person!"
"As for you, you're not allowed to call me by my name anymore. You have to call me 'sister-in-law,' understand?"
Li Xiaoli, having shot herself in the foot, was on the verge of tears: "You're only a year older than me, yet you're already my sister-in-law! How annoying!"
"Don't say I'm a year older than you. Even though I'm younger than you, I'm still your sister-in-law after marrying your brother! Go and fetch water for your sister-in-law to wash her face."
"I don't want to!"
"You're being disobedient, aren't you? Let's see how your sister-in-law teaches you a lesson!"
The two started playfully fighting in the yard.
Zhao Xiulian found it amusing, but couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Ye has finally gotten used to our family. It used to break my heart to see how he was so afraid to do anything."
Li Weidong nodded: "That's right, this is just fine."
It's just that it's been tough on him.
At first, he thought it was a good thing that Zhou Xiaoye was becoming more and more comfortable at home, especially since she had even adapted to the identity of Li's daughter-in-law, which made him even more gratified.
But as time went on, he realized something was wrong.
Since Zhou Xiaoye came to the Li family, he has been eating and sleeping well, and his height has increased rapidly to the naked eye.
Not only did he grow taller, but his physical development was also exceptionally good.
It was hot, so she only wore a tank top at home. Her chest made the tank top bulge, exuding youthful energy.
Unfortunately, she didn't realize it herself. She was always playfully teasing Li Xiaoli, and before she knew it, her private parts were exposed.
If it were just playful banter with Li Xiaoli, that would be one thing, and if Li Weidong himself avoided her, that would be another.
But she still liked to get close to Li Weidong.
No matter what he was doing, he was always right next to him. Li Weidong only needed to look down to see a field of spring scenery.
Add to that her sweet, coquettish calls of "husband," and he was working himself to the bone.
Is there anything worse than being able to see something you can't have?
For the first time, Li Weidong felt that letting Zhou Xiaoye live in his house was a bad decision.
But since they've already moved in, what can we do but put up with it?
Fortunately, the agonizing days didn't last long.
School is about to start.
...
"Have you brought all your textbooks?"
"I told you to pack your things last night, why aren't you done yet?"
"Li Xiaoli! What time is it and you're still sneaking food? Xiaoye has already prepared everything and is just waiting for you!"
"It's you guys starting school, not me! Your brother's been waiting forever, do you even want to go to school anymore?!"
Early in the morning, Zhao Xiulian's loud voice echoed throughout the entire courtyard.
Li Xiaoli put down her chopsticks and chuckled awkwardly, "There's no rush."
Zhou Xiaoye bluntly retorted, "No way! Last year when we started school, you were always complaining about being late!"
"No, you're mistaken!"
The two started arguing again.
Li Weidong pushed the tricycle out the gate, smiling at the two of them: "Alright, I've loaded everything onto the vehicle, time to go."
"They're here!"
Zhou Xiaoye didn't care about Li Xiaoli and walked out in a few steps to sit on the stool next to the driver's seat.
Li Xiaoli immediately became anxious: "Why are you sitting in the front row? Sit in the back and talk to me!"
"I don't!"
Zhou Xiaoye raised her chin: "I want to sit with my husband!"
After a summer vacation, she was no longer the girl who would blush when talking to Li Weidong.
These days, she says "husband" and "my man" so naturally.
Li Xiaoli was furious: "Hmph, you guys can't keep me from sticking to you! Wait until school starts and you're living on campus, then let's see how you manage to stick to me!"
This time, Zhou Xiaoye surprisingly didn't retort. Instead, she took Li Weidong's arm and leaned against him.
Li Weidong knew she was reluctant to part with him, so he sighed, patted her hand, and started the car.
We arrived at school quickly.
Zhou Xiaoye had good grades, but Li Xiaoli's grades were a bit worse. According to the rules, the two of them shouldn't be in the same class.
However, by sheer coincidence, Shen Xiaoyan's restaurant was right next to the No. 1 Middle School, and she happened to know some teachers at the school, so she made a request and got the two of them assigned to the same class.
Even their dorm rooms are together.
Li Weidong parked the car and carried the two of them's luggage towards the dormitory.
As they walked, he lectured her: "Lili, this time when school starts, your sister-in-law will be living with you and in the same class. You have to behave yourself, don't bully her, and listen to her, understand?"
Li Xiaoli pouted: "Who's bullying whom! Can't you see it at home?"
Li Weidong snorted, "Don't I know your personality? You're the kind of guy who'll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles if you don't discipline him for three days!"
Then he looked at Zhou Xiaoye and said, "Xiaoye, you'll have to keep a close eye on this girl in the future. Make sure she studies hard and disciplines herself when necessary. Don't hold back."
"Don't worry, honey, I guarantee I'll keep her completely under my thumb!"
Zhou Xiaoye became smug: "Putting everything else aside, just look at these grades, I guarantee she'll be in the top ten of the class in the final exams!"
Her grades had always hovered around first or second place, while Li Xiaoli was ranked outside the top twenties, so she spoke with particular confidence.
Li Xiaoli looked distressed: "The teacher said I don't need to worry about getting into university with my grades, do they really have to do it this way?"
"Just getting into university isn't enough; you have to get into a good university!"
Li Weidong said earnestly, "Anyway, your sister-in-law is here, so learn from her more, and ask her if you don't understand anything, okay?"
Zhou Xiaoye chimed in, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law will tutor you properly."
"You two are bullying us!"
Li Xiaoli stomped her foot and ran away.
Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaoye exchanged a glance and laughed simultaneously.
Upon arriving at the dormitory, Li Weidong, finding it inconvenient to go inside, left his belongings at the door and prepared to leave.
Just then, Zhou Xiaoye called out to him, "Honey, wait!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Li Weidong turned his head, somewhat puzzled.
Zhou Xiaoye blushed and suddenly rushed over to hug him tightly.
"I...I can't bear to part with you!"
