"Come up," Zhong Mingwei patted his thigh after rubbing his legs. He said to Ah Chou, "I'll rub your belly."
"No, I still have to do my embroidery. I didn't do it for a few days, and it took a long time..." Ah Chou hummed softly. She said so. But Ah Chou still crawled in front of Zhong Mingwei, but she was reluctant to press Zhong Mingwei's legs, so she sat between his legs. Her thin body leaned in Zhong Mingwei's arms, like a clingy little doll. She held Zhong Mingwei's hand and placed it on her belly. She whispered. "Then rub it for a while, it won't delay my embroidery work anyway."
"Okay, just rub it for a while." Zhong Mingwei smiled softly, and gently rubbed Ah Chou's flat belly with his big hands.
This girl is too thin. Ah Chou's butterfly bones are pressing against Zhong Mingwei's chest. It's hurting Zhong Mingwei, and he feels pain in his heart. While rubbing Ah Chou's belly, he thinks, how can I make Ah Chou gain some weight? This is not something he can do by saving a bowl of jujube tea and half a bowl of red bean porridge.
Zhong Mingwei was very melancholy, leaning against the pile of quilts and staring blankly at the beams.
When will these two legs get better?
…
"We agreed to meet at three o'clock tonight. I, Dalian, bowed my head shyly and said nothing. At the first watch, I burst into tears. It's a pity that my parents love to smoke opium, which has delayed my marriage. If youth is gone, where can you find a young man? At the second watch, Xiaoliu climbed the wall. He startled the infatuated daughter in the upper house. He hurriedly opened the double doors and grabbed his beloved little enemy..."
Ah Chou started singing again, humming as she continued to embroider with her head buried.
Zhong Mingwei came back to his senses and became absorbed in listening to the little song. However, Ah Chou's voice became quieter as he listened. Zhong Mingwei was a little unhappy: "Why don't you sing anymore?"
Ah Chou suddenly turned his head and stared at Zhong Mingwei with his eyes wide open: "Are you listening?"
"What's wrong?" Zhong Mingwei looked at her surprised and embarrassed face and couldn't help pinching her nose. "You are allowed to sing but I am not allowed to listen?"
"No," Ah Chou stammered, a little embarrassed, "You were clearly listening the whole time, but you didn't say a word, you were just listening secretly, and I didn't even know about it. You know..."
"What do you want to know?" Ah Chou stopped talking, but Zhong Mingwei kept asking.
If I had known you were eavesdropping, I would never have sung such an embarrassing song.
But Ah Chou couldn't say anything. She didn't want to pay attention to Zhong Mingwei. She pouted and lowered her head to continue embroidering. But the pair of big hands suddenly closed behind her, and her whole body was locked firmly in the man's arms.
"What do you want to know?" Zhong Mingwei leaned close to Achou's ear and asked again.
"Why are you like this? I clearly don't want to pay attention to you!" Ah Chou protested in a bluffing manner while secretly glancing at Zhong Mingwei's profile. As soon as she met the man's bright eyes, she turned her face away and whispered, "What's so good about this?"
"Girl, you sing well, so I naturally like to listen to you," Zhong Mingwei said, resting his chin on Ah Chou's shoulder. Their faces were so close together that he could clearly feel Ah Chou's face trembling slightly. When he spoke again, Zhong Mingwei's voice was bent, "Girl, can you sing for me again?"
"Do you really like to hear it so much?" Ah Chou whispered, trying hard not to tremble. Zhong Mingwei had never been so close to him before. When he spoke, his lips were almost touching her ears. Ah Chou's ears felt like they were on fire.
"I love listening to it. I really love listening to it." Zhong Mingwei said, while imitating Achou's usual behavior, gently rubbing Achou's face, obviously acting coquettishly.
Ah Chou couldn't stand this, and immediately lowered his head as low as he could. When he spoke again, his voice was even lower: "If you like to listen, I will sing for you every day, but, I don't sing for nothing..."
