Gu Yanliu ran happily to the kitchen.
"Yanliu, I don't want to eat apples anymore, I want to eat jicama."
"Okay." Gu Yanliu's clear voice echoed from the kitchen.
“Su Nianxue, I’ve noticed that you’re becoming more and more… decadent.” Gu Yanbai said, clicking his tongue twice.
"What's wrong with me? Do I deserve to be called depraved?" While speaking, Su Nianxue changed her lying position again.
"Look at you now, you're almost as old as a landlady," he teased, pinching her nose.
Where is it?
That's all your fault! You guys always say I can't do this or that. I only act like this when I have nothing to do.
Okay, since you've made it sound so serious, I've decided to start working this afternoon and won't bother you anymore.
"So that you won't accuse me of enslaving you someday, I can't bear that accusation." Su Nianxue made a move to stand up from the recliner.
"No, no, no, Grandma, you should stay here."
If you go to work, wouldn't that be enough to make me worry?
I was wrong. I shouldn't have said you were like a landlady.
"Come on, let me give you a few slaps to vent my anger." He grabbed her and pulled her wrist, then pretended to slap his own face twice.
"Brother, I've noticed that you, a grown man, are becoming more and more petty these days."
It's no big deal. I just washed a plate of fruit for my sister-in-law.
"It's really worth bringing this up, isn't it?" Gu Yanliu came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of sliced sweet potatoes.
This time she finally got something on her hands, and she'll definitely retaliate fiercely.
"That's right, Yanliu, I'm having such a hard time." Su Nianxue looked at her pitifully.
"Sister-in-law, I feel sorry for you!"
"What do you sympathize with her for? Tell me." Gu Yanbai raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a warning in his eyes.
Gu Yanliu threw the fruit plate on the table and ran out of the yard in a flash.
She had a strong feeling that if she stayed there, she might really get beaten up.
You know, his brother can't take his temper out on his sister-in-law right now, and of course, he probably wouldn't want to get angry with her either.
Although he always spoke harshly, as far as she knew, she had never seen him actually lay a finger on her sister-in-law.
But I will beat her up, that's no exaggeration.
Although he hasn't beaten her much in the past two years, her brother used to beat her quite a lot when she was a child, so she still has some lingering trauma.
"You brat, you're pretty fast. You're so stubborn, why don't you try running away then!"
I sympathize with you!
"What did I do that deserves everyone's sympathy?" Gu Yanbai said angrily, watching her retreating figure.
"Comrade Gu Yanbai, have you ever heard a saying?" Su Nianxue winked at him mischievously.
"What did you say? Tell me!"
"The eyes of the masses are discerning." Su Nianxue laughed, revealing a set of white teeth.
"I'm telling you two, why don't you team up to annoy me? If you make me die of anger, who will care about you then?" Seeing her bright and cheerful appearance, Gu Yanbai shook his head helplessly.
"You'll be fine,..."
"Are you trying to say that I'm a scourge that will live on for a thousand years?" Gu Yanbai glanced at her sideways, as if he had seen right through her.
"Where did you say it went?"
What I'm trying to say is that you still have a lot on your shoulders; you have to support your family, your wife, and your children.
This isn't something that can be done overnight; it'll take at least several decades. You're not allowed to run away from it.
"So you're saying I don't even have the right to say I'm dead anymore, is that it?" That's what he said, but the corners of his mouth were already curling up.
He always has a sweet tongue; he likes to hear things like "raising a wife and children."
"I understand. If you ever make me angry again, I'll grit my teeth and bear it."
"Who told me to bear such a heavy burden? As long as I have a breath left, I have to support you all!"
Su Nianxue smiled gently, "Gu Yanbai, do you know what you looked like just now?"
"Like what?"
"Like..." I wanted to say why he was so unpredictable, but then I thought better of it.
If I say that out loud, he might get angry again.
"How old are you? Why are you still so short-tempered?"
Besides, what's there to be angry about?
"Yanliu is a sensible person. She always knows what she should and shouldn't do. Why do you keep getting angry with her?" Su Nianxue said, somewhat disapprovingly.
"Su Nianxue, what do you mean?"
"What did I do now?" She thought for a moment, but couldn't recall doing anything wrong.
“You just said I’m old,” Gu Yanbai reminded him.
"Oh, well, you're not young anymore."
Just before his face darkened, Su Nianxue cupped his cheeks in her hands and examined him carefully. "However, he is still very good-looking."
Gu Yanbai's expression softened slightly. "You still dare to complain about my age? What have I done to displease you?"
He gave her a meaningful glance.
As they spent more time together, she got used to his occasional frivolous behavior.
Su Nianxue seemed not to understand his implied meaning, "Satisfied, extremely satisfied."
She then added, "Well, to be precise, I'm quite satisfied with everything."
"That's more like it. If you dare to be dissatisfied, I'll..." He grabbed her wrist and rubbed it against his face.
"What do you want?" She took his hand and rubbed it on her lower abdomen.
Seeing his smug look, Gu Yanbai gritted his teeth inwardly, "Su Nianxue, you've learned to use a trifle as a weapon now?"
Su Nianxue smiled and said, "When he grows up, I'll tell him that his dad called him a chicken feather."
"You've even learned to threaten me now?" Gu Yanbai tried to keep a straight face, but in the end he couldn't help but gently stroke her protruding belly with his hand.
"This guy won't be out for another five months or so. Why does it take so long?"
"Don't people carry a baby for ten months? If it comes out early, that's called premature birth."
"What nonsense are you spouting all day long? Don't you know how to be more discreet? You're not allowed to say such things anymore, understand?" He covered her mouth with his hand, his expression very serious.
He only removed his hand from Su Nianxue's mouth after she nodded.
"Gu Yanbai, do you mind if I say you're old?"
Actually, I think it's a good thing for people to get older.
As people age, their experience accumulates, much like fine wine that matures over time.
Hearing her say that, Gu Yanbai's expression softened completely. "Su Nianxue, I've noticed that you haven't learned anything else, but you've got a whole repertoire of sweet talk for people."
But ironically, he falls for it.
"No way! I'm the most honest person, I always tell the truth." Su Nianxue rolled her eyes, a sly look on her face.
"You're a liar!" Gu Yanbai grabbed her wrist and rubbed it against his face.
