Zhong Mingwei couldn't help laughing, he grabbed a handful of hair and put it to his nose and sniffed it hard, Ah Chou immediately blushed with shame. He stretched out his hand and quickly slapped Zhong Mingwei's hand away, staring at him and said: "Why did I just say you have no memory? You grab my hair again! Have you had enough?!"
"Didn't the girl call herself scrap metal? Then I have to smell it to see if there is any smell of rust," Zhong Mingwei smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch Ah Chou's nose. "But how come such a large piece of scrap metal doesn't have any smell of rust? Instead, it smells like chili peppers. Could it be a can of chili peppers?"
"Hehe. You're talking nonsense! I'm not an iron can! Even if I am an iron can, it's an iron can that holds jasmine flowers!" Ah Chou laughed and explained to Zhong Mingwei, "Today I followed Grandma Chen to learn how to make spicy cabbage. I used a lot of chili peppers, so of course I smell like chili peppers."
"Is the spicy cabbage delicious?" Zhong Mingwei asked, looking forward to it. He hardly ate spicy food before. But now that he is raised by Ah Chou, he can not only eat spicy food but also sweet food. A year ago, he could not even imagine it.
"We'll have to wait a few days to find out. But I heard that spicy cabbage stew is the most delicious in winter. Hehe," Ah Chou winked at him. She turned around and put her arms around the man's strong waist, and buried her whole face in the man's waist. The words that came out were all muffled, "Zhong Mingwei, can we always be like this? I know you and I are not the same kind of people. This must be unfair to you, but... but Zhong Mingwei, let me be selfish for once, okay? Others can live their whole lives anywhere, but Zhong Mingwei, you know, you and I can only have a lifetime in Ningguta..."
The heat penetrated through his clothes and reached the skin on the side of Zhong Mingwei's waist. Zhong Mingwei's whole body stiffened. The next second, he reached out and hugged this little girl who didn't know how to act coquettishly into his arms, holding her tightly.
"Girl, are you afraid that I will return to the capital in the future?" Zhong Mingwei rested his chin on Achou's shoulder and asked softly.
Ah Chou did not answer, but nodded slightly. Then Zhong Mingwei heard her voice choking again: "In Ningguta, I can tell you with confidence that we are equally matched and no one despises the other. But Zhong Mingwei, if...if we return to the capital..."
Ah Chou didn't say anything else, but Zhong Mingwei understood what she said, so he hugged Ah Chou tighter. "No, girl, no matter where we are, I, Zhong Mingwei, will always be the one who owes you, and I, Zhong Mingwei, am not worthy of you. Girl, listen carefully. I couldn't do anything about it in the past thirty years, but from the age of thirty-two, my life will only be for you."
"Are you serious?" Ah Chou supported his shoulders with both hands, raised his face, and looked at Zhong Mingwei with his wet eyes without blinking.
"To be honest," Zhong Mingwei nodded, and said hurriedly, "Although I am a scholar, I don't have the bad habits of a sour scholar. I never dare to lie to a maid."
"Puchi!" The next second, Ah Chou burst into laughter, and as he laughed, tears rolled down his face. His soybean-sized dimples were filled with tears.
Zhong Mingwei squinted his eyes and looked at the wet little dimple. His eyes were dark and bright, which was frightening. Then he suddenly leaned over and kissed the wet little dimple.
Achou was stunned. When Zhong Mingwei's lips left her, she was still in a daze. She stared at Zhong Mingwei, confused and timid. That look made Zhong Mingwei feel distressed.
"Girl, don't be afraid of me." Zhong Mingwei took a handkerchief and gently wiped Achou's tears. When the handkerchief slid to that little hole, Achou came back to his senses. As soon as he met Zhong Mingwei's gaze, he suddenly slapped Zhong Mingwei's hand away.
Zhong Mingwei: “…”
"I, I, I'll go get the pork and stew it when I come back." Ah Chou no longer looked at Zhong Mingwei. He jumped off the kang in a panic and hurried out.
"Put on your shoes!" Zhong Mingwei said helplessly from behind.
