"I was afraid you would dislike me," Zhong Mingwei held Ah Chou's face and kissed from his smooth forehead to the small dark red scar on his chin. Then the man pressed his forehead against Ah Chou's and whispered, "You will be old by then. I will be older than you, with wrinkles all over my face. I will be old and ugly. I can't stand it..."
"Others can't stand it, but I can," Ah Chou gently rubbed the tip of the man's nose. While breathing in the man's breath, he whispered, "You are my man after all. I can't see enough in this life."
Zhong Mingwei didn't say anything. His eyelashes trembled twice, gently scratching Ah Chou's eyelids, which felt itchy. He rubbed them on the man's face. Then he whispered, "What are you thinking about? Why don't you say anything?"
"I was thinking about how much I had done in my last life. I am so lucky to meet you in this life, girl. You don't know how happy I am..." Zhong Mingwei sighed and said softly, while reaching out to hold Ah Chou in his arms. "Girl, I have been in a trance and panic for the past six months. You are right in front of me. I am so happy, but I always feel uneasy. I always feel that it is too unreal. How can people be so happy? How can there be such a good life..."
"Zhong Mingwei," Ah Chou suddenly interrupted the man. She sat up straight, held the man's face, and looked at him with her dark eyes without blinking, "Kiss me."
The next second, the man's warm lips suddenly pressed against hers.
"Are you still confused now?" Ah Chou asked with a smile, "Are you still uneasy?"
Zhong Mingwei did not answer, but hugged the girl in his arms tighter.
"Still, still uneasy?" Ah Chou was a little confused, but she still put her arms around the man's neck and asked, "Zhong Mingwei, tell me, are you still uneasy?"
"Girl, I have nothing to worry about as long as you are here," the man pressed his forehead against Ah Chou's, leaning so close that their breaths blended together, "As long as you are here, I will feel at ease for the rest of my life."
"Zhong Mingwei..." Ah Chou pursed her shiny lips and said softly.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Mingwei stared at the red lips without blinking, feeling thirsty.
"Kiss me again, I love you so much..." As he said this, Ah Chou gently pouted his lips.
The next second, Zhong Mingwei suddenly lifted the quilt and covered the two of them.
"Don't, don't stain it again..." Ah Chou said worriedly from under the quilt, "Ink is so hard to wash out. Last time, it stained my clothes..."
"If it's dirty, I'll wash it for you!" Zhong Mingwei blocked the chattering little mouth without saying a word.
…
There was only one dish for the New Year's Eve dinner for two people, which was a big pot of stewed mixed fish. Ah Chou wanted to make a few more dishes, but Zhong Mingwei was too busy to stop her. It was not because he was afraid of eating leftovers for the next few days. In order to celebrate the New Year, Ah Chou had been busy for several days and even fried a large basket of meatballs in the afternoon. Zhong Mingwei felt really sorry for her and didn't want to let her run in and out of the house anymore.
Zhong Mingwei and Achou both like to eat fish stewed with pancakes, but they don't eat it very often. This fish stew is made in a big pot. If it can't be finished in one meal, it must be heated up for two or three meals. The house is too strong with fishy smell, so Achou doesn't make it easily. This time, they made a big pot on New Year's Eve and didn't order any other dishes. The two of them sat around the stove and ate with relish.
"What kind of fish is this?" Zhong Mingwei pointed at a palm-sized fish in the pot and asked Ah Chou, "I don't think I've ever eaten this kind of fish before."
"Oh, this is a loach, with few bones and tender meat. It's delicious. It's just that it's hard to catch in the cold weather, and the fishmonger didn't have many. Fortunately, I went there early and grabbed a few," Ah Chou said hurriedly, while picking up a whole loach and putting it in Zhong Mingwei's bowl, urging him to eat, "There's only one bone in the middle, just remove it, eat quickly!"
Zhong Mingwei removed the spines from the loach as instructed, then placed his bowl in front of Achou, and at the same time tried to snatch the bowl from Achou's hand without saying a word.
"Why are you like this?" Ah Chou was weak, so the bowl in his hand naturally fell into the man's hands. He had no choice but to pick up the bowl full of loaches and began to eat with relish. From time to time, he glanced at the man, and the more he looked, the more his eyebrows curved.
"Enjoy your fish carefully, or you might get a fishbone stuck in your fish soon." Zhong Mingwei said to Ah Chou a little helplessly. This girl was not afraid of eye cramps, but he was worried about her in his heart.
