Chapter 48: Awkward man, heartbeat accelerated, mind wandering



"What's added to this fish soup?" Tang Shen could tell the difference of this fish soup after just one sip.

Not only is it so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue, but when you drink it, you will feel a warm sensation that spreads from the stomach to all parts of the body.

Tang Shen was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at Qin Zijin in confusion.

"I just added some pepper, what's wrong?" Qin Zijin looked up in confusion and met Tang Shen's eyes.

Adding pepper to fish soup was a way of eating it that she liked in the past.

I just happened to find that pepper can actually be bought in this era, so I took the opportunity to exchange some from the system mall, and planned to add some to the soup when I have nothing to do.

Pepper has the effect of nourishing the stomach, especially in winter. Adding a little bit to the soup is really a good thing.

"It's nothing. I remember you didn't like the taste before, right?" Tang Shen put down the bowl in his hand and looked at Qin Zijin seriously.

Qin Zijin also put down the bowl silently.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke: "Everyone has to learn to change. I didn't have to work in the fields before. I was a rich lady and had a car to pick me up wherever I went. Now, am I not still trying to adapt to life here?"

"If it weren't for me..." Hearing Qin Zijin's words, Tang Can felt a sudden pain in his heart and spoke subconsciously.

"If you say something like this again, I will really be angry." Qin Zijin had a cold face and interrupted Tang Shen unhappily.

Some things are fine if you say them once or twice, but it's really disgusting if you keep saying them over and over again.

Qin Zijin had never planned to leave this home, abandon her two young children and go back to the city with Tang Shen.

She originally thought that everything she had done during this period was enough to show her attitude.

However, he didn't expect that in Tang Shen's heart, he still felt that she might leave.

Seeing Qin Zijin angry, Tang Shen was at a loss as to what to do. He hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. I just..."

"I don't want to know what you mean. I don't want to hear such words again. If you say it again, I will take the two children and leave immediately." Qin Zijin interrupted Tang Shen with a serious face.

Tang Shen pursed his lips, looked at the determination in Qin Zijin's eyes, and nodded after a long time.

"I don't know what you heard outside, nor do I know what you really think, Tang Shen. I only know that from the day I chose to marry you, I never thought of regretting it. Even if you were lame or paralyzed or something like that, since I chose you, I would not do such a thing as abandoning you. You don't have to look at me like that." Qin Zijin said with a cold face, picked up the bowl, ate silently, and didn't say another word.

Tang Shen felt very upset and wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

But he instinctively felt that the relationship between him and Qin Zijin, which had finally gotten closer, seemed to be gradually becoming distant again.

Tang Shen sighed inwardly, lowered his head and ate quietly.

Tang Simeng and Tang Ruixuan looked at each other, with a hint of anxiety in their eyes.

I finally saw my parents' relationship return to what it was before, but why did they suddenly start fighting again?

They are too young to understand how complicated the adult world is.

They just hope that their parents can live in harmony and not separate.

The family can stay together happily forever, and they don’t care about anything else.

After dinner, Tang Shen took the initiative to clean up the dishes.

He was even responsible for washing the two children at night, and he would wash the face and feet of whoever Qin Zijin beat.

However, Qin Zijin did not appreciate it and never looked at him in a good manner.

"Mom, the quilt is soft." Tang Simeng washed her feet and got into bed.

What’s different from usual is that the quilt is particularly soft tonight and much warmer than usual.

Tang Shen was making a fire. When he heard the sound, he looked over.

"Go to bed early. I'll make new clothes for you tomorrow." Qin Zijin covered Tang Simeng with the quilt and rubbed her head. The child's hair was fluffy and felt surprisingly good to touch.

Tang Simeng chuckled and hid half of his face in the quilt.

The quilt still has the smell of sunshine, which smells particularly comfortable.

Moreover, the newly made quilt is not as heavy as before.

But after a while, I felt warm.

Tang Ruixuan's face also showed surprise and joy.

The two little guys had very good sleep quality and fell asleep in a short while.

When Qin Zijin came back after washing up, she found that the two little ones had slept in it tonight and were already sleeping soundly.

If we move them out, there's a good chance we'll wake them up.

But if they slept like this, then she and Tang Shen would have to sleep together tonight.

Qin Zijin's expression changed and he glanced at Tang Shen who was sitting silently beside him.

Tang Shen noticed Qin Zijin's gaze and looked up.

The firelight illuminated his face. As a man who worked in the fields all year round, his skin was a healthy wheat color and his facial features were like sculptures. He had a rare good appearance.

It was the first time that Qin Zijin looked at the man in front of her so seriously. She found that he was actually very good-looking, and his facial features all suited her aesthetic taste.

"What's wrong?" Tang Shen felt uncomfortable all over when Qin Zijin looked at him like this, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing. Both children are asleep. Tonight..." Qin Zijin pointed to the bed and didn't say anything else, but the meaning was already very clear.

Tang Shen was stunned for a moment, and then he took a look at the situation on the bed before he reacted.

Then he said with a bit of a laugh, "I'll watch over you. I won't sleep tonight. You should go to sleep."

"Forget it. Don't we have to go to the mountains tomorrow? Go wash up and go to bed." Qin Zijin looked at Tang Can for a long time before saying this. Then he took off his cotton-padded jacket and got into bed.

The two little guys slept very warmly in the bed.

Because it was mixed with silk cotton, it was particularly warm, and even felt a little hot under the scorching fire.

Qin Zijin didn't know how long it had been since she felt so warm.

After lying down for a while, I was suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of sleepiness.

She even forgot that Tang Shen had not returned yet. She leaned against Tang Simeng and fell into a deep sleep in a short while.

Tang Shen came back from washing up and was about to talk to Qin Zijin, but he found that she had fallen asleep. In the light of the fire, her sleeping face was particularly beautiful, which made Tang Shen's heart soften.

He looked down at her for a long time before he whispered, "Good night."

After saying that, he took off his coat and carefully got into bed.

As soon as he got into bed, Tang Shen regretted it.

He somewhat underestimated Qin Zijin's attraction to him and overestimated his own self-control.
