Chapter 12: Embarrassment - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

When Jiang Yang walked out of the room, he saw a red figure walking into the main room, and he did not recognize that it was the person he had met once before.

Hearing that they had just gotten married, he thought of Lin Shu again. Alas, when would he be able to live a life with a wife and a warm bed?

After Cen Xi and Lin Qing returned to the room, they were speechless for a while.

Cen Xi was the first to break the silence, "Qingqing, let's sit down and have a good chat!"

Cen Xi planned to eliminate the sense of strangeness with his wife first. From the time they decided to get married to now moving in together, they had not been alone for a long time, so it was normal for them to feel unaccustomed.

Lin Qing also knew that he was married and that he should live a good life after marriage, or at least show the attitude of living a good life.

You are a human being, and others are also human beings. If you always treat others with a cold face, one day your heart will also become cold.

So when Cen Xi suggested having a good chat, she sat down beside him quietly.

Cen Xi didn't know what to say for a moment, so he started talking about what he planned to do tomorrow.

"The factory gave me three days of wedding leave. Today is one of them, and there are two days left. Let's go to the hospital tomorrow to check your health, and then come back the day after tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"

Lin Qing wrinkled her nose and asked, "Go to the hospital for a physical examination? Is it necessary to go?" She has never liked hospitals since she was a child.

She always felt that every time she went to the hospital, she was losing half her life, so she was usually quite resistant to going to the hospital and would avoid going if possible.

"No, I'm going to take you to see an old Chinese doctor tomorrow, not a Western doctor. I think Chinese medicine is more useful for regulating the body. Let's go see a Chinese doctor tomorrow."

Lin Qing looked at Cen Xi's irresistible tone and knew she couldn't refuse. However, she also knew that this was for her own good, "Okay!"

"I……"

Cen Xi was about to speak when he suddenly heard very loud voices coming from next door.

"Where's the meat? Where is the meat you just bought?" Father Zhou asked loudly while looking at the dishes on the table.

Cen Xi and Lin Qing leaned closer to the next wall, listening intently.

"Meat? Isn't it in the plate? Isn't that the plate full of meat?" Zhou Qin said, pointing at a plate of food.

"You said this is meat? A few thin strips of meat?" Zhou's father picked out a few strips of meat from the dish and showed them to him.

"Shredded pork is still meat!" Zhou Qin said stubbornly.

"Humph! Did you give the meat to the widow's family again? Huh? Is that right?" Zhou's father's voice became louder and louder.

"Sister Lian is having such a hard time, what's wrong with me helping her?" Zhou Qin couldn't bear to see his gentle Sister Lian feel lost and sad.

"Why are you so mean? What's so good about that widow? She won't even let you touch her. She just keeps asking you for things. What's the point of you liking her? You might as well get married and have a warm bed!"

"Do you think I don't want to?" Zhou Qin really wants to get married, but unfortunately he is nearly 30 years old and has found many matchmakers, but he is still not married.

"You are such a loser. Look at the young man from the Gu family and the second son of the Jiang family. The Gu family has already married a second wife, and the second son of the Jiang family is about to marry a second wife. But you, a loser, have never married anyone. When will I be able to hold my grandson? Tell me, okay?

What's the point of licking a widow's ass all day? Ah, she won't marry you, nor will she give you a son, so where will my grandson come from? Ah? Tell me!"

Zhou Qin was so stunned by his father's silence.

Cen Xi and Lin Qing felt as if they had heard some big secret.

"A widow?" Lin Qing thought of the woman they had seen before, and then thought about the situation in the courtyard that Aunt Li introduced. "That woman couldn't be Su Jia's daughter-in-law, right? I remember hearing Aunt Li introduce our courtyard, it seemed that there was only one young widow."

"Well, I think so."

"I didn't expect that the guy next door actually likes that widow."

"Didn't you ask that woman if she was going to buy meat? Now it seems she was going to get it for free."

"Uncle Zhou next door has a really scumbag son. I finally got to eat some meat, but this scumbag son gave it away. How miserable!"

Cen Xi was simply amused by her.

"I feel that our courtyard may be quite lively in the future." Lin Qing said thoughtfully.

"Yeah, I have the same feeling." Cen Xi also nodded.

The two looked at each other and suddenly smiled at each other.

Cen Xi touched Lin Qing's hair and said, "It's getting late. Go take a shower first. The water should be hot now."

"Okay!" Lin Qing felt his face turned red again.

By the time Cen Xi and Lin Qing finished their showers, it was already around eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Through the closed door, one could still hear some noisy sounds of children outside.

Inside the room, Cen Xi and Lin Qing had already lay down on the bed together. Lin Qing was a little nervous and didn't know what to do, so he simply lay down with his back to Cen Xi.

Cen Xi was not Liu Xiahui. When he saw the person he loved lying next to him, he could no longer control his hands and reached out to hold the person with his back to him in his arms.

"Qingqing."

The voice rang in Lin Qing's ears. She could feel her ears getting hot at that moment, and then someone kissed her.

"Hmm~"

Cen Xi turned the person over so that they were facing each other, and kissed Lin Qing's lips, which were red from nervousness.

Everything that followed went smoothly, but Cen Xi still hadn't completed the last step.

Cen Xi once heard that it is easier for a woman to recover her body before she loses her virginity, so on the wedding night, he suppressed his desires and did not take the last step.

However, despite this, Lin Qing was still tired.

Lin Qing had no idea what he was thinking. She thought the wedding night was already completed. After all, she was so tired, it must have been completed!

She was still thinking before she fell asleep due to exhaustion. Her mother said it might be a little painful, but she didn't feel it, just a little uncomfortable.

——

The next morning, Cen Xi got up first, fetched water from the public faucet, and took it to the kitchen to heat water. The water in the thermos had been used up last night, and he didn't want to have to wash with cold water after waking up.

Afterwards, he took the urinal in the room to the public toilet outside and emptied it.

However, there were quite a lot of people queuing at the public toilet outside early in the morning, and we had to wait in line for a while.

As soon as Cen Xi, a respectable man, arrived at the toilet door, he attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Are you new here? Which hospital are you from?"

Cen Xi is not the kind of person who really doesn't like to communicate with others. Since he has decided to live a good life here, he must integrate into the society. Chatting with others is also a good way to integrate into the society.

"Yes, I'm new here, from Courtyard 4. My name is Cen Xi, which means "analysis."

"You must be Mr. Cen. Your last name is quite rare!" he joked.

Then he introduced himself: "My name is Daqiang, I work in the factory's security department, in Yard No. 3 next door to you."

"Hello, hello!"

"I heard before that your hospital was going to have two new couples, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"My wife and I arrived late. The other couple arrived a day earlier than us." Cen Xi remembered that this is what Aunt Li said.

"I know, I know. The other couple in your hospital is Xiao Yu from the Publicity Department and his wife."

"So he's from the Publicity Department!"

"Oh, I didn't expect you, Mr. Cen, to be so down-to-earth. I thought you educated people were not willing to talk!"

"How could this be? I can still speak." Cen Xi said self-deprecatingly.

In fact, Daqiang just said that to praise him. After all, the other engineers he knew were all very arrogant and would not bother to communicate with them, the common people.

It was quite unexpected to meet such a down-to-earth engineer.

Soon it was Cen Xi's turn. After going to the toilet and emptying the urinal, he said goodbye to Daqiang who was behind him.

There was a fire in the kitchen at home, and he had to hurry back to check on the fire!

"I have to go back first."

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."

"Well, let's talk again when we have time!"

…

When Cen Xi returned home, Lin Qing was still deeply buried in the quilt, with no sign of waking up.

He didn't think of waking anyone up immediately. It was still early, so he turned around and went to the kitchen, planning to prepare breakfast for himself.

He took out the dough he had kneaded last night and made a steamer full of steamed buns. He also prepared some pickled vegetables, which he could put into the steamed buns when eating them later.

When he returned to the bedroom again, Lin Qing's eyes were already half open.

Cen Xi took a closer look and could still see the tiny hairs on his wife's face.

"woke up?"

"Hmm~" After Lin Qing saw clearly who was in front of him, he immediately pulled the quilt over his head shyly, his mind full of the embarrassing scenes of last night.

"Hehe! Don't feel bored." Cen Xi smiled and helped her pull the quilt down a little.

"Hurry up and get up and wash up! Wait a little longer, the steamed buns in the pot should be ready."

Lin Qing responded with a humming voice, "Yeah."

"I'm going to the kitchen first. I've refilled the thermos. You can use the water in the thermos to wash up later. I've already filled the cold water for you and put it at the door. Remember to add some hot water from the thermos later."

"Okay!" Lin Qing listened to his instructions carefully, feeling a little sweet in her heart.
