Chapter 370 Mary Sue's Sister-in-law (25)
Xi Ciming returned home from get off work, washed up and went to sleep, but for some reason, without Ning Shichu by his side, the room seemed especially empty, and for the first time in his life he felt a little lonely.
He was used to seeing Ning Shichu when he came home every night. Even though Ning Shichu was playing with her phone, applying a facial mask or doing other things and was not with him, as long as she was at home, Xi Ciming felt peaceful and comfortable in his heart.
However, this time Ning Shichu went abroad, and she was the only one missing from the house. Xi Ciming suddenly felt that this home was too quiet, so quiet that he could almost hear his own heartbeat.
He lay in bed for almost half an hour and couldn't fall asleep. He kept thinking about what you, Ning Shichu, were doing abroad at this time, and he couldn't fall asleep at all.
Finally, Xi Ciming sighed, got up from the bed, and went to the study, trying to shift his attention to work. Perhaps by forgetting Ning Shichu, he would soon fall asleep.
But the opposite happened. He stared at the documents on the computer for several minutes without getting any of them into his head. His energy was so unfocused that he couldn't handle any work matters.
This was the first time that a workaholic like him actually delayed his work because of other things. Although Xi Ciming had no thoughts about love, as a smart and mature man, he naturally realized what was going on in his situation.
He cared about his wife. If he didn't, he wouldn't care whether Ning Shichu was at home or not, and he wouldn't miss her so much that he couldn't sleep. Just like when they first got married, even if he went on a business trip abroad for a few months, he wouldn't think of his new wife at all, and he would even forget about her and devote himself to his work.
But now, he can't be as carefree as before. Xi Ciming rubbed his forehead and sighed softly. After all, she is his wife. He thought, isn't it natural for his wife to be his wife?
Xi Ciming figured it out, found his cell phone and called Ning Shichu.
Ning Shichu was still sleeping at this time. After all, she had been playing in the Blue Sky Bar until the early morning yesterday, and returned to her residence to sleep at almost dawn, so naturally she slept soundly.
Ning Shichu was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone and was a little irritable, but when she saw the caller ID showed that it was Xi Ciming calling her, she did not get angry and answered the phone immediately. After all, with Xi Ciming's style of doing things, he would not look for her at all if it was not something important. Could it be that Ning's father and mother really came to look for her?
"Xi Ciming, what do you want to talk to me about?" She had just woken up, and her voice was hoarse from screaming all night because of the macho dance.
Xi Ciming heard her voice was obviously hoarser than usual, and asked her worriedly: "What's wrong with your throat? Do you have a cold?"
Ning Shichu then realized that her throat was very dry and slightly painful. She thought that screaming last night had hurt her throat too much. She stood up and looked for water to moisten her throat while answering Xi Ciming, "I don't have a cold. I just had too much fun when I went out to play yesterday and my voice became hoarse."
Xi Ciming listened to the clear sound of drinking water coming from the other end of the phone. He was curious about what she had played to have such a great time that she could shout herself hoarse, so he asked directly: "What did you play? Was it fun?"
"It was really fun. Hong Yunyun's friend took us to the bar to watch a really interesting dance show. We were so excited that we screamed along with everyone else. It was so exciting." Ning Shichu couldn't help but say with a smile when he thought of the exciting scene last night.
"Went to the bar? Is it safe?" Unfortunately, Xi Ciming is a father-type husband. When he heard that she went to the bar, his first reaction was whether it was safe.
"There are so many people here, and Jeff is a local. By the way, Jeff is Hong Yunyun's ex-boyfriend. He is a local boss. The safety of the bar he takes us to is guaranteed." Ning Shichu said. Even if it is not safe, Ning Shichu is confident that she can protect herself, so she is not worried at all.
Xi Ciming still frowned, feeling that Jeff was unreliable, so he continued to ask: "What is the dance performance about? What makes you so excited?"
He thought about it, a bar, can also make people scream... His eyes suddenly widened. He had studied abroad and was taken to bars by his classmates to see all kinds of exciting scenes. So when he associated it with the bar, he immediately realized what type of dance performance Ning Shichu went to watch!
"Is it some kind of indecent dance performance?!" Xi Ciming's face turned dark, and he secretly hated Jeff for leading his wife astray.
Ning Shichu suddenly choked and blinked rapidly, but soon he became confident and defended himself, "What kind of improper dance? Don't overthink it. It's just an ordinary dance with some sexiness, just like the passionate samba. It's natural to make people scream in a bar."
But when Xi Ciming heard her talk about sex, sensuality, and passion, he became more certain of his guess: "Did you go to watch the striptease?"
When Ning Shichu heard what he said, she was choked by her own saliva and started coughing non-stop, her face flushed. After a long while, the coughing finally stopped, and she quickly retorted: "It's not a strip dance, I'm wearing clothes, don't you think of me as such a dirty person!" Although the hunks did take off their shirts in the middle, didn't they keep their pants on? That doesn't count as a strip dance, at most it counts as half a strip dance...
Xi Ciming was half-believing and half-doubting. He felt that he had spoken the truth, otherwise Ning Shichu would not have reacted so strongly. His guilty conscience was almost written on his reaction: "I don't believe it unless you send me the video of the dance performance."
Ning Shichu rolled her eyes and remembered that there was a video clip that Hong Yunyun sent her last night in which she didn't take off her shirt in the first half, so she immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll send you the video later. Okay, let's talk business. What do you want from me?"
Xi Ciming was stumped by her question, because he didn't have anything to do when looking for her, he just missed her, but he had always been introverted and reserved, and it was impossible for him to tell Ning Shichu directly and frankly that he missed her.
But after all, he was a thoughtful person, Xi Ciming said: "It's nothing important, I just want to ask if you have any problems with the climate after arriving, if you have trouble adjusting to the jet lag, and if you are used to the living quarters."
Ning Shichu was surprised that he actually cared about her, but after all, it was his good intention, so she answered obediently: "I am not suffering from acclimatization, the weather here is quite comfortable, and I am still adjusting to the jet lag, so it's okay. As for the residence, this is Jeff's castle, there are a lot of servants, so it's not inappropriate."
"By the way, did my parents come to look for you?" Ning Shichu suddenly asked.
