Nowadays, even city dwellers are reluctant to waste even a little bit of food. Even a grain of rice that falls on the table will be picked up and eaten.
After they finished their meal, they put the dishes in the kitchen and left. After all, it was impossible for Xu Jiaojiao to wash the dishes. They were greasy and too harmful to the skin. Besides, there was no reason for her to wash the dishes herself at home.
Since Xie Zhi wants to date me, he has to accept this theory.
Mingzhen watched her son cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, while Xu Jiaojiao sat lazily on the sofa, turning her head and rolling her eyes.
Finally, I couldn't help but said, "Xiaozhi, why don't you ask Jiaojiao to wash the dishes? Xiaojing is much more refined than Jiaojiao and she also washes the dishes."
Xie Zhi glanced at his mother with indifferent eyes. Although the kitchen was obviously too hot, Mingzhen felt a chill on her back and was too embarrassed to say anything.
After Xie Zhi quickly cleaned up, he went to the bathroom and carefully applied soap twice. He raised his fingers and smelled them again and again to make sure there was no trace of oil smell before he went to find Jiaojiao.
The wiped hand took the girl's hand, and the two walked upstairs side by side, even their backs looked so in sync.
Xie Zhi had already hung up the clothes, took out the pajamas and the girl's nightgown that he had prepared long ago, and sat on the sofa with his arms around her, resting his head on her waist.
"Jiaojiao, I want to take a bath with you." His tone was aggrieved, as if he had suffered some great injustice.
Xu Jiaojiao hugged the man's back tightly to his waist and rubbed him soothingly. Thinking that he had indeed worked hard, she said in a delicate and sweet tone, "Okay."
Xie Zhi's eyes immediately lit up, and he transformed from a gentle little dog to a wolfdog. He picked up the girl and grabbed her nightgown and went to the bathroom. He put the girl on the sink and filled the bathtub with water.
The steam rose up, instantly filling the small room and making the two of them blush. Then the sound of water and kissing could be heard from the bathroom, which sounded particularly embarrassing.
Mingzhen, who was sitting downstairs, was about to tear her handkerchief into pieces. She glared fiercely upstairs and complained to her husband who was reading a book nearby: "Look at what you have done. I said I would not go."
"Look, she doesn't even take me seriously."
Father Xie glanced at Mingzhen, took a sip of tea slowly, and put down the cup in his hand: "Why are you doing this? You were wrong in the first place. Besides, you wanted Xiaozhi to marry Jiaojiao before. We can recover so quickly, and they have helped us a lot."
"What do you call this now? You call it crossing a river and destroying the bridge."
Mingzhen still refused to accept the defeat and argued with her neck stiff: "Yes, her family did help us, but look at how Xu Jiaojiao ordered Xie Zhi around. I think he even wanted to go to the toilet for her."
"If Ah Zhi wants to, let him do it. I think he is enjoying it."
"Why, why do I have to work in the kitchen for the rest of my life, but Xu Jiaojiao doesn't? Why don't you allow me to eat such expensive mangoes, but this person can eat them so easily? Why does she have it so easy?"
"Why on earth did you refuse to help me when I was being tortured by your mother, and now you want me to be docile? Why on earth did you do that?"
Mingzhen finally couldn't swallow it anymore, and blurted out what she wanted to say, words that had been held in her heart for so long. Her eyes were red and there were a few tears hanging in the corners of her eyes.
Father Xie was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. No wonder she felt uncomfortable. No wonder she was still uncomfortable even after he talked so much about it. But he felt in his heart that there was nothing wrong with him.
His deep eyes glared at Mingzhen: "Times are different now, people are valuable, and you don't know what kind of life Jiaojiao has been living at home. If we don't treat her well, why should her marry into our family? Do you still think it's an arranged marriage like before?"
These words were undoubtedly heart-wrenching. After saying this, Xie's father didn't want to hear Mingzhen's answer and hurried out, completely ignoring the woman who was lying on the sofa and about to faint from crying.
Mingzhen is undoubtedly pretty and lovable when she cries, but that’s just the way it is when you look at a beautiful face for too long.
Xie Zhi leaned in the bathtub with the girl sitting on his lap. The two of them hugged each other intimately. There was even a little duck for bathing in the bathtub. Xu Jiaojiao's wet hair stuck to her back and cheeks.
He looks like a very charming fairy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the girl in his arms is a fairy.
Xie Zhi felt Jiaojiao's trembling body, and through their skin pressed tightly together he knew all her anxieties and fears.
He forcefully turned the person around so that they were facing each other, but the girl was still unwilling to look up at him. Xie Zhi lifted her chin with indescribable emotions in his eyes.
Xu Jiaojiao's eyes were soaked with tears, the corners of her eyes were red, and her thick eyelashes were trembling slightly. She looked extremely pitiful, but also incredibly beautiful.
Xie Zhi stared straight ahead, took a deep breath, and stroked the girl's cheek heavily with his fingers, asking in a hoarse voice, "Why are you crying?"
Xu Jiaojiao's tone was soft, she felt a little hurt by this person: "You bully me."
After saying this, she could no longer hold back her tears and rolled her eyes. Her crying was silent.
Xie Zhi's thick eyebrows knitted together and he held the girl's slender waist: "I'm sorry, I will be gentle next time, Jiaojiao, please forgive me."
Xu Jiaojiao looked at him with tears in her eyes: "You didn't lie to me."
"When have I ever lied to you?" Xie Zhi laughed.
She recalled very seriously, it seemed that this man had never lied to her before. She sobbed and stopped her tears, feeling the hot kiss on her cheek.
Xie Zhi picked up a large bath towel and wiped Jiaojiao clean. Then he tried not to look at the dazzlingly white skin and put the suspender nightgown on the girl.
He picked up the hair dryer from the cabinet, and the soft and comfortable wind came out, blowing her hair slowly.
The fragrant hair was filled with Xie Zhi's thoughts. For a moment, the only sound in the room was the heavy breathing of the two people, and there was no other sound. After the hair was blown dry.
Xu Jiaojiao wanted to walk out on her own, but the moment she stood up, her legs went limp uncontrollably. Fortunately, Xie Yi was quick-witted and held her in his arms.
But this action caused her lower back to ache again, and her tears continued to fall. Xie Zhi was filled with desire, and when he got the girl he had finally gotten, he naturally became addicted to the pleasure and lost his sense of proportion.
The quilt was opened, and Xu Jiaojiao was gently placed on the bed. Then, while her vision was still hazy, a piece of sweet candy was stuffed into her mouth.
Xie Zhi let the child lie in his arms and coaxed him softly, "Be good, baby, don't cry. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."
