Song Lili was joking, but she was actually quite serious about it.
Zhang Zeyu was here for the first time and naturally didn't know anything about the place, so Song Lili explained it to her.
Song Lili didn't mean she didn't want Zhang Zeyu to misunderstand anything; rather, she wanted him to understand the situation.
As for whether Zhang Zeyu truly thought what he said, Song Lili didn't care.
All she needs is for her family to understand this.
In Song Lili's eyes, Zhang Zeyu had not yet reached that position, so Song Lili did not care.
That evening, everyone gathered together and had a great time. By the time it was time to say goodbye, it was already around 10 p.m.
Perhaps it's because of the Lantern Festival, everyone is resting quite late on this day.
When Song Lili and her family got home, they saw other people on the street, also families out together, seemingly taking a walk.
After everyone went home, Song Lili finally felt a little tired and threw herself onto the big bed.
Yes, it's the bed; we just changed it a couple of days ago.
Since the kang (heated brick bed) is now a bit warm, Song Lili feels it's time to go to bed.
Song Lili closed her eyes, which could be considered as her resting.
Because everyone was eating and talking at the same time, Song Lili felt a little full.
Even after walking home from the hot pot restaurant, she still felt a little bloated, so she quietly waited for it to digest.
Zhang Qinghua fetched hot water, washed his hands, and then sat down next to Song Lili, gently helping her up.
"I've prepared water for you to wash your hands. Go wash your face and hands first, then lie down and rest."
Having just returned from outside, they were already in the habit of washing their hands as soon as they got home, so Zhang Qinghua naturally did these things.
Song Lili really didn't want to move. Even though Zhang Qinghua had prepared everything, she kept her eyes closed and didn't open them.
"I'll shower later. I'm too tired to move right now."
Zhang Qinghua stopped pulling Song Lili and gently put her down on the bed.
But after a short while, Song Lili felt her hand being pulled, and then something warm was placed on her hand.
After a moment's thought, Song Li realized that Zhang Qinghua was wiping her hands.
A slight smile appeared on Song Lili's lips. It seemed that Zhang Qinghua was going to wipe her hands and face.
Song Lili didn't even think about refusing; on the contrary, she enjoyed it and let Zhang Qinghua do these things.
This was a bit of fun between the couple, and Song Lili didn't intend to refuse.
Zhang Qinghua wiped Song Lili's face very carefully. He cleaned each of Song Lili's fingers one by one, then washed the towel again before wiping her face.
Song Lili doesn't have the habit of wearing makeup. She only does basic skincare every day, so she doesn't need to remove makeup. She just wipes her face and is done quickly.
Zhang Qinghua only spent two or three minutes tidying up for Song Lili.
Song Lili lay on the bed with her eyes closed, listening to Zhang Qinghua's movements.
She could hear Zhang Qinghua washing the towel, and she could also hear Zhang Qinghua picking up the washbasin and walking out.
You could even hear a soft creak from the door behind Zhang Qinghua.
Song Lili could hear all of these sounds.
Moreover, she also heard Zhang Qinghua enter the room again.
Immediately afterwards, Song Lili felt as if the bed next to her had sunk, and she knew that Zhang Qinghua had sat down next to her.
Zhang Jinghua glanced at Song Lili, who had her eyes closed, then lay down next to her, turning his head to stare intently at her without saying a word.
Neither the couple spoke, yet the atmosphere between them was incredibly warm, as if they were in their own world, and no one else could disturb them.
After a long while, Song Lili slowly opened her eyes and met Zhang Qinghua's eyes.
Looking into Zhang Qinghua's eyes, which were filled with her own image, Song Li couldn't help but laugh. "Why are you looking at me like that? It's not like you don't recognize me."
She only saw seriousness in Zhang Qinghua's eyes, which is why Song Lili said that.
After knowing each other for so many years, Zhang Qinghua was still able to look at her very seriously, which surprised Song Lili, so she couldn't help but ask.
"I know you, but I feel like I discover something different about you every day. Every day you are a brand new you, a different you."
It's unclear whether Zhang Qinghua truly meant it or was simply saying sweet nothings to Song Lili.
But whatever the reason, Song Lili was very happy to hear it.
She smiled, following her own heart, and said, "What you said today was really nice. I'll take it as a Lantern Festival gift from you."
"Alright, it's getting late, go to sleep." Song Lili felt that just one sentence from Zhang Qinghua would make her feel much better the next day, no matter how bad her mood was.
Zhang Qinghua didn't say much. After tidying up, the couple went to bed.
After the Lantern Festival, Song Lili asked Zhang Shengtian again when they would return to the capital.
Zhang Shengtian and the others can stay away for now, but Song Jianshe must return.
Song Jianshe couldn't stay at home forever; he still had work to do. Wan Peng had already started urging Song Jianshe, saying he needed some furniture.
So Song Lili called Song Jianshe and told him to finish dealing with things at home as soon as possible, and then come over to do his own thing.
Song Li never expected that this time when she called home, she would hear some really bad news.
That means something happened at my uncle's house, so Song Jianshe can't come to Ducheng right now. He has to resolve everything at my uncle's house before he can return.
Song Lili quickly asked Song Jianshe what had happened at her uncle's house.
However, Song Jianshe didn't explain clearly on the phone, only saying that his uncle was sick, which Song Lili didn't understand either.
He said that something had happened to his uncle's family, and it sounded very serious, so Song Jianshe had to stay in Hongqi Village to help.
Song Lili was very anxious, but being in the capital city, all she could do was tell Song Jianshe, "If you need any help, just call me. I'll do everything I can."
"Also, if there are any changes, please let me know. I'll be waiting for your news here."
Song Lili also cares about her uncle. She remembers clearly that her uncle and aunt gave her lucky money back then.
