Under the moonlight, Gu Yanbai returned with light steps.
He pushed the door with his hand, but it did not open as he expected.
His expression turned somewhat grave. Had the door been locked?
Heh, you little rascal, you're quite cautious!
But this didn't stump him.
He picked up a bamboo stick from the corner of the wall and poked at the door bolt for a while, finally managing to pry it open.
He looked smug; how could such a small matter possibly stump him?
With a smile on his lips, he casually pushed the door open.
But soon, the smile on his face froze.
The door is being blocked from behind by something!
That damn woman, he's only gone out for a short while, does she really need to close the door so tightly?
He raised his leg as if to kick the door, but after thinking about it, he silently put his leg down again.
If he makes a fuss, everyone will know that his wife has locked him out.
Where will he put his old face then?
He glanced into the room through the door and said, "Su Nianxue, you just wait."
Once I'm in there, I'll see how I deal with you.
"You've really gotten bold, daring to lock me out now!"
He glanced at the high courtyard wall; there was no other way but to climb it.
Their courtyard wall was built higher than those of other houses in the village.
It was built high up specifically because we were worried about the safety of a young girl like Gu Yanliu at home.
Therefore, his attempt to climb the wall did not go very smoothly.
In her drowsy state, Su Nianxue heard a heavy thud as something fell to the ground, but she didn't pay it any mind and turned over to continue sleeping.
But faintly, she seemed to hear someone calling her name in a low voice.
Never mind, it's probably just rumors!
As Su Nianxue turned over, another call came from outside the door, and she seemed to hear the sound of teeth clenching.
Wait, that voice sounds so much like...
"Su Nianxue, if you don't open the door, you'll be sorry once I get inside!"
Oh no, it really is Gu Yanbai!
Didn't he leave?
"If you don't open the door, I'll kick it down!"
"No, no, I'll open it." She took a deep breath, jumped out of bed, and yanked the door bolt open.
As soon as he unlatched the door, Gu Yanbai pinned her against it, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. He forced out a few words from his throat.
"Su Nianxue, you've got some nerve!"
Why don't you go out and ask around? How many people in this world would dare to lock me out?
Have I been too nice to you these past few days, making you forget what kind of person I am?
"You dare to shit on my neck? You got a death wish, huh?"
He was covered in moisture, and his hair was still wet and stuck to his scalp.
So he didn't leave; he went to take a shower!
"Didn't you say you were leaving?"
"I waited for a while, and only after you really left did I go to close the door." Su Nianxue also felt a little wronged; it was his own fault for not explaining things clearly, okay?
"Ha, so it's my fault now?"
Gu Yanbai laughed in anger. He was clearly just saying it in anger, but this damned woman actually took it seriously!
The thought of her climbing over the wall with her butt sticking out made him want to kill her.
Doesn't he have any pride?
What's most infuriating isn't this incident, but that when he finally managed to climb in, that damned woman had actually locked the door.
He ended up getting eaten by mosquitoes outside the door.
What woman is as carefree as her? Her husband goes out at night, and she doesn't worry at all; instead, she sleeps soundly.
The thought of these things made him grind his teeth.
He had lived for twenty-four years and had never been as humiliated as he was tonight.
It's all because she's so fussy. It's just a little intimacy, and she insists on taking a shower by herself.
But she was fine; when he came back all clean and tidy, she was fast asleep!
The problem is that he can't shout loudly; after all, he's Gu Yanbai.
Who in the surrounding villages would dare to mess with him?
It's no exaggeration to say that even passing dogs wouldn't dare bark at him.
Just like tonight, he was struggling to climb the wall when the big yellow dog next door heard the noise and tried to ambush him.
One glare from his murderous eyes and it obediently tucked its tail between its legs and scurried away.
He was extremely pleased with his own gaze at that moment!
Didn't you see how fierce he gets? Even the dogs don't dare to bark.
"It was your fault to begin with. If you had clearly explained that you were going to take a shower, why would I have closed the door?"
Besides, there's plenty of water at home, why go outside to wash? She didn't think she had done anything wrong at all.
Watching her pretty little mouth open and close, uttering words he didn't want to hear, Gu Yanbai really wished he could take a needle and thread and sew it up for her.
"I love going to the river to bathe, so what?" He was so angry that he swam several laps in the river before he could calm down.
Unexpectedly, I was even angrier when I got back.
After all this commotion, he felt like he was about to explode!
I should never have listened to her. I should have just shut her up. What could she possibly do against those little arms and legs?
"Oh, then make it clear next time. I'll be waiting for you!"
Gu Yanbai's expression softened a bit; this at least sounded like a human being.
Seeing that his complexion had improved, Su Nianxue crawled out from under his armpit and quickly grabbed her pillow from the bed.
"I'm going to sleep with Yanliu!"
Back when she lived in the Su family, if she and Su Jiaojiao had a fight, they would stare at each other like cross-eyed cocks, wishing the other would disappear from their sight.
She came up with this idea, and Gu Yanbai probably wouldn't want to see her either, so she should just be sensible and stay far away, without him having to say a word.
