It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

kitchen.

Congratulations on making breakfast.

Zhu Xi was toying with an apple in her hand, leaning against the door frame, looking rather unhappy.

"Brother, why did you let Zhou Yinghuai sleep in my room?"

Zhuhe was making soup when he glanced at her with a smile, "What else? Sleep in my room?"

The second bedroom only has a small bed, where two tall men, each 188cm tall, squeeze together.

Whether face to face or back to back, it allows people to savor a unique flavor.

Congratulations on turning the heat down. "Isn't he your husband?"

"You know perfectly well..." Zhu Xi began, but the apple in her hand was snatched away by Zhu He.

Congratulations on taking out the fruit knife. "If you're going to eat an apple, just eat it. What's the point of turning it around like this?"

The sharp blade sliced ​​open the apple's skin, and a long strip of it spun down in a circle.

"He can go back to Huanxisha, right?" The sound of peeling fruit reached Zhu Xi's ears. "There's no room at home."

The long apple peel broke off at the bottom, congratulations on starting to cut it into pieces. "You mean after he spent the whole night finding your old sofa, and then braved the torrential rain to get rid of the new one, I came back, betrayed him, and kicked him out?"

That doesn't seem right either.

Zhu Xi frowned.

"Xixi, you haven't mentioned divorce, and you don't plan to divorce at the moment. So Zhou Yinghuai is family with us, right?"

"The family can let him sleep on the sofa too." Zhu Xi crossed her arms, thinking of the unexpected kiss during the emptiness last night.

I pinched my chest with my fingertips through my pajamas, and for some reason, it felt strange.

She had kissed Su Daiqing before, but never like this before.

Zhou Yinghuai's lips were cool, but his soft tongue was so hot.

Zhu Xi felt a burning sensation on the right side of her face, so she touched it with the back of her hand.

Congratulations! I gave her the bowl with the chopped apples and quickly put the apple peels in the trash can.

I didn't hear her speak, nor did I see her start eating. "Want me some more yogurt?"

Zhu Xi: "Huh?"

Congratulations: "The apple isn't sweet?"

"No." Zhu Xi snapped out of her daze, forked a piece, and put it in her mouth. "It's sweet, no yogurt."

Zhuhe chuckled, wrung out a rag, and wiped the stove. "Go wait outside, dinner will be served soon."

"Oh." Zhu Xi turned around, chewed on an apple, and then turned back. "Brother, don't let Zhou Yinghuai sleep in my bed anymore."

Congratulations, look up. "Why? He's your husband, the husband you don't want a divorce from."

"He hasn't showered, he's filthy!" Zhu Xi said, forking an apple and turning to walk to the dining table.

Without realizing it, she and her tray ended up crashing into Zhou Yinghuai's arms.

"I took a shower!" Zhou Yinghuai, who had been bumped, steadily put his arm around her lower back. "I showered in the guest bathroom."

His earnest explanation only made Zhu Xi's face burn with embarrassment.

After offering congratulations, she held up a bowl of freshly cooked soup and said, "Yes, I can testify that he washed up and even lent me a set of pajamas."

The sweet taste of apples lingered in her mouth, and Zhu Xi dared not raise her eyes to question Zhou Yinghuai, who was a head taller than her.

The palm on her side gently moved her to the side. "Sister Xi, don't block the way."

Congratulations! Suppressing a laugh, I said, "Let's eat!"

The three sat down, and Zhu Xi ate her favorite breakfast, but still found it tasteless.

She felt Zhou Yinghuai's indifferent gaze fall on her. It wouldn't have been a big deal, but the way she pursed her lips while drinking the soup reminded her of last night.

I imagined the softness of our lips touching and that nimble, alluring tongue.

She imagined Zhou Yinghuai holding her face and pressing her against the bench at the foot of the bed, sucking on her lips, reluctant to leave.

Thinking back to last night when we shared a bed, and the handsome, peaceful sleeping face I saw when I woke up.

They are a married couple, but now they act like students in early love, very naive and inexperienced.

Zhu Xi overthinks things and isn't carefree at all.

The imagination runs wild, and the feeling is quite subtle.

But she overlooked the most important point.

Congratulations on the dramatic change in attitude towards Zhou Yinghuai.

Let's go back to last night.

He finished a whole bottle of water in the sweltering summer heat, and Zhu He didn't seem to have any intention of inviting him for a late-night snack.

He stood up. "Alright, since there's no midnight snack, I'll head back."

With a gentle smile, I sincerely thanked you, saying, "Thank you so much for tonight, I'll treat you to dinner another day!"

In the sweltering summer, he waved his hand and said, "Dean Zhu's older brother is my older brother."

Shedding his persona as a criminal defense lawyer, Sheng Xia reverts to his usual playboy with a strong江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) air. "She's studying under Director Hao. If I accidentally develop a brain tumor when I'm 120, I'll have to rely on Dean Zhu to perform surgery and save my life so I can live to 150!"

Zhou Yinghuai kicked him, "Are you a turtle? How can you survive so long?"

He leaned back in the sweltering summer heat, thinking, "Turtles live for a thousand years, but I can't live that long."

As he spoke, he nudged Zhou Yinghuai's shoulder. "Let's go. I'm too lazy to drive. You can take me home."

Zhou Yinghuai hesitated, then turned his head and glanced into the master bedroom.

This twist was caught out by the summer heat.

He picked up a small piece of dry white powder from behind Zhou Yinghuai's ear, broke it open, and smelled it.

"Ah Huai, is this shampoo or body wash?"

Even in the sweltering summer heat, Zhou Yinghuai didn't notice anything amiss.

After receiving Zhang Jie's call, he changed his clothes and rushed over here without even having time to rinse off the mess.

"It's nothing." Zhou Yinghuai reluctantly withdrew his gaze. "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Congratulations! He sighed inwardly, thinking of Zhu Xi's current state and her decision to divorce rather than let Zhou Yinghuai take the risk with her.

Thinking that he had only been back for less than two days, he had already heard countless stories about Zhou Yinghuai from his own sister.

There was also a bet made amidst the rosy dawn.

He said, "You can stay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yinghuai was surprised and shocked in the sweltering summer heat.

Congratulations, he sighed, and offered a flimsy excuse: "I'm giving up on pursuing this matter. I don't know if Xixi will be angry with me."

"You stay here and help me share some of the firepower."

Zhou Yinghuai stopped, his tone firm, "Okay."

And so, it passed away alone in the height of summer.

Zhu He still smelled faintly of alcohol. He went into the second bedroom alone and quickly came out with a new set of pajamas.

"I've been drinking, so I won't invite you to sleep in the guest room. The sofa or the master bedroom, it's your choice."

Zhou Yinghuai took the clothes, his smile and curiosity barely concealed, and asked, "Congratulations..."

The rain outside the window eased, and the floor-to-ceiling window fully reflected the two men who were no longer at each other's throats, because Zhu Xi had reached an agreement for the first time.

"I'm leaving eventually," Zhuhe raised an eyebrow, "and probably won't be back for the next few years."

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

The atmosphere was solemn and dignified, as if a very important task was being handed over.

Congratulations! He then asked, "Will I regret my choice today?"

"You have no chance," Zhou Yinghuai said confidently.

Congratulations! Follow up with, "Perhaps one day you'll find out she's just an ordinary person."

Zhou Yinghuai: "I'm just an ordinary person."

"Zhou Yinghuai, will you treat her well?"

Zhou Yinghuai's gaze was firm, settling on the doorframe of the master bedroom through the congratulations.

"I will." The words and emotions traveled across the distance, "I love Zhu Xi, and that will never change in this lifetime."
