Bi Xie was startled and quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe Xu Ying's tears: "What's wrong, Yingzi? Why are you crying?"
"Oh, I'm crying tears of joy. You're well-read, you should know this idiom, right?" Xu Ying grabbed Bi Xie's hand as he wiped her tears, and said with a mix of melancholy and sigh, "Xiao Xie, why is life so tiring? People are always living for others."
Bi Xie pursed her lips. Neither of them ate much of the food on the table. They did eat half of the barbecue, but she ate most of it.
He ladled a bowl of rice and placed it in front of Xu Ying: "Yingzi, eat something. Drinking too much isn't good for your stomach. You're right, everyone lives a tiring life, but not everyone can live a life without guilt."
Xu Ying chuckled self-deprecatingly: "If I were a son, do you think my mom wouldn't have forced me to drop out of school so early? Would she not have treated me like a tool to make money for my younger brother?"
Bi Xie remained silent and did not respond.
At this moment, she felt sympathy for Xu Ying. She might have her own reasons, but the original owner's tragic fate began to unfold because of her.
After dinner, Bi Xie and Xu Ying walked home. The summer evening breeze blew the toy windmills on the roadside stalls. Xu Ying hummed a pop song as she took out her money and bought one, muttering to herself, "When I was little, I always wanted to buy one whenever I saw them, but no matter how much I begged, my mom would never buy it for me..."
Bi Xie silently bought one as well and handed it to Xu Ying: "We can get one now that we didn't have it before."
Xu Ying paused for a moment, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes, then waved her hand: "No need, I'll buy it myself."
Although it was the height of summer, the two of them were sweating a bit after walking for a while.
Xu Ying wanted to take a shower after she came back, but Bi Xie told her to shower first.
She brought a suitcase with clothes inside.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Just as Bi Xie reached the bedroom door, the door to the adjacent secondary bedroom suddenly opened, and an arm that slanted out pulled her inside.
Wei Zhaoye lifted Bi Xie up, supporting her buttocks, and pressed her against the door, staring straight at her. "Xiao Xie, she's annoying. You're covered in her scent."
Bi Xie pressed his forehead and sighed helplessly, "Ye, we made a promise, you can't go back on your word. I have to go out now, it won't be good if Xu Ying finds out later."
Wei Zhaoye didn't say anything, just stared at her intently.
Bi Xie bit her lip and called out softly and tenderly, "Husband, you're the best."
After saying that, she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a passionate kiss. Wei Zhaoye quickly hugged her back and returned the kiss.
"Little Evil"
"Little Evil—"
Xu Ying's voice came from inside the bathroom.
Bi Xie blushed immediately and hurriedly patted Wei Zhaoye on the back.
Holy crap! She gives off a vibe of a clandestine affair.
"Coming!" she shouted back, and hurriedly jumped off Wei Zhaoye's body.
He didn't know where he brushed against when he jumped down, and Wei Zhaoye groaned.
"Yingzi, what's wrong?" Bi Xie ran to the bathroom door, waved at Wei Zhaoye, and mouthed two words: "Close the door."
Wei Zhaoye chuckled softly, then closed the door after seeing the girl's pouting lips.
Ignoring the fact that there was a man inside, Xu Ying opened a corner of the bathroom door and said, "Xiao Xie, I got my period. Could you go buy me some sanitary napkins?"
