Lu Weimin didn't say anything. He had seen a lot of this kind of thing in the past two years. When a couple's little problems escalated, they would usually end up with him.
Usually, when the woman is emotionally charged, she becomes unreasonable and won't let it go. The man goes home, apologizes, and comforts her, and the matter is over.
Given how persistent Li Xi had been with Fu Tingshen, he wasn't surprised by Li Xi's decision.
"Ye Zhiqing, you know about what happened yesterday, right?"
The matchmaker came to Ye Zhiyu's door to apologize, explaining that she had heard yesterday that there would be a reward of 20 yuan, but she had readily agreed and confidently told Ye Zhiyu to come back and wait for news.
Ye Zhiyu sighed, looking regretful, but generously said it was nothing: "Don't be sad, this is a good thing, you've come to realize it in advance."
He took out a bag of snacks: "Here, take this back with you. I can't let you come all this way for nothing."
"Oh, no, no, I didn't do anything, how can I take your things?" The matchmaker waved her hands repeatedly.
Ye Zhiyu shoved it into her hand without saying a word and gave her a firm look.
The matchmaker left happily.
Liu Shengnan, who came to see Ye Zhiyu, looked at her curiously: "Hey, I remember you introduced a girl to your dad before and offended her, didn't you? Why are you here again?"
She skillfully opened the reading table and sat down, with Ye Zhiyu sitting close to her.
“Sigh, aren’t all matchmakers like that?” She attributed it all to professional practice.
"That's true." Liu Shengnan shrugged, putting the matter out of her mind and starting to study.
Fu Tingshen was woken up by his biological clock. He rubbed his eyes habitually, lifted them slightly, and was pulled back. There was also a foreign object in his mouth.
Frowning, I turned my head and found that my hands were tied to my sides. I struggled to lift my neck and legs, and ended up lying in a spread-eagle position.
Terrified, it tried to call for help, but its mouth was gagged, and it could only make muffled sounds. It started to writhe.
He wanted to make a noise to attract attention since Li Xi wasn't in the room, but all he could hear was the sound of his back rubbing against the bed.
When Li Xi returned from the Lu family and saw Fu Tingshen like this, she felt exceptionally happy.
Fu Tingshen heard the sound and strained to see. When he saw Li Xi walking in with a smile, he moved even more vigorously, his eyes filled with hope.
He never doubted that Li Xi had kidnapped him.
The next moment, Li Xi's words made his blood freeze.
"Look at this poor thing, are you feeling unwell? It's okay, you'll get used to it."
Fu Tingshen's eyes widened, feeling as if a venomous snake was lingering and coiling around his cheek.
Her breath caught in her throat. Although the smile on her face was so bright and radiant, waves of cold sweat poured down her body.
"Shh..." Li Xi pressed the cloth over his mouth.
He sighed inwardly, thankful that he hadn't used up all the sleeping potions the system had given him and had kept some for himself; otherwise, given that the system only appeared once every now and then, he would have been helpless long ago.
"Brother Tingshen, don't be afraid. You know I like you, I love you, and I won't do anything to you."
"But... I love you so much, why do you keep breaking my heart? It hurts so much."
"Look, now you're lying on this bed, being a good girl. You said she seduced you, so if you don't go out, those bitches won't be able to seduce you. Don't worry, I'll take good care of you."
Fu Tingshen was terrified, shaking his head repeatedly with pleading eyes.
I wanted to tell him he was wrong, that he was willing to accept criticism, and that he would change, but Li Xi never intended to listen to his explanation before doing this.
She was tired of hearing it, tired of waiting, tired of hoping. She didn't know why Fu Tingshen had changed in this life, but she would use her own methods to make him better.
Li Xi slowly shook her head, revealing an expression of disapproval.
"Brother Ting Shen, don't shake your head, okay? If you do, Xiao Xi will be unhappy. And if I'm unhappy, I don't know what irreversible things I might do. So, please listen to me, okay?"
Li Xi smiled throughout, and Fu Tingshen dared not move, because as she spoke her last words, her right hand swept across...
Normally, he might have stood up instantly and even felt a little distracted, but now he only felt a chill run down his spine.
Li Xi was very satisfied and picked up the quotes from the great man on the table.
“Brother Tingshen, I’ll say a line, and you memorize it in your mind. I’ll check on you tonight.”
Fu Tingshen nodded vigorously, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.
Everyone was quite surprised to hear the sound of reading aloud coming from Li Xi's room.
"He's calmed down already? Before, Fu Tingshen was very impatient with studying and was never home. I heard he even got caught doing something with so-and-so from the village yesterday. Do you really think he's changed for the better?"
"Who knows? It's a man's inherent weakness. Maybe he's planning to seduce Li Xi so he can go out and cheat on her again."
"Hey, just say what you think is right, don't generalize."
They were chatting enthusiastically when Lin Yueze slapped a book at one of them, saying, "Still gossiping? Did you solve that problem today?"
Everyone chuckled awkwardly and got back to the main topic.
Unlike other educated youth who buried themselves in their studies, Ye Zhiyu and the Lu family members had it much easier and even had time to do other things.
However easy it may be, Tao Qingtang is a twin, so it was no easy task for her.
Ye Zhiyu calculated that the baby would be born soon, so she brought several cans of formula and a drop of honey to help the baby suffer less.
Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell; one wrong move and both mother and child die.
"Sister-in-law, how are you?"
Ye Zhiyu placed his hand on Tao Qingtang's swollen belly, feeling a small life inside. It was a wonderful feeling.
"Fortunately, she's not making a fuss."
At that moment, the piece that Ye Zhiyu had pasted suddenly moved.
"Oh, she's moving! What's wrong? Is she about to give birth?"
Ye Zhiyu was a little flustered, and Tao Qingtang gently stroked her belly to comfort her: "It's okay, she just likes you and wants to get closer to you, it's normal."
Even after saying that, Ye Zhiyu dared not touch it again, and just watched it longingly.
He brought his face closer: "Do you like me? If you do, then stop making Mom suffer and come out on your own soon, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Hongfang, who was delivering poached eggs at the door, laughed and said, "Little Ye, how could she understand that?"
She made two bowls and handed one of them to Ye Zhiyu.
Ye Zhiyu took it and handed it to Tao Qingtang, adding a drop of honey: "Just in case, then it'll be easier for you, sister-in-law."
Tian Hongfang smiled and shook her head, no longer speaking. If they could really understand, there wouldn't be so many women dying in childbirth.
Back when she was giving birth to her second child, she almost had a major hemorrhage. At that time, her mother-in-law was still alive and immediately said to save the baby.
Fortunately, the child's father came back in time and stopped it; otherwise, even if she could have survived, she would have been tortured to death.
Alas, childbirth is when a woman is most vulnerable. Even if you know someone's bad intentions, you can't resist them.
