On the way back, they passed by a shopping mall. Cheng Hui went in again and bought kitchen utensils like POTS, pans and bowls. He was very skilled at shopping and familiar with kitchen utensils. Xin Gan could cook, but she was not good at cooking. When she was studying abroad, she either ate in the school cafeteria or bread. Abroad, it was all Western cold food. As long as she could fill her stomach, it was fine. So she could only make sandwiches and pasta and couldn't cook.
When it was time to settle the bill, Cheng Jiu was afraid that what happened in the morning would happen again, so he asked her to wait at the exit first and he would pay the bill himself.
Xin Gan stood obediently at the exit, waiting.
After Cheng Jiu paid the bill and came out, he walked over and naturally took her hand, gradually tightening it, and said in a low voice, "Go home."
Back at their accommodation, Cheng Jiu went to the kitchen to tidy up and asked her to sit on the sofa and watch a movie.
On the table were the snacks she had picked out in the morning. Originally, she had planned to go and see Keke and give her the snacks. But who knew that Cheng Jiu meant to keep her and not let her go.
She walked a few steps in the living room wearing her newly bought home shoes and watched a movie for a while. Unable to sit still, she still went to the kitchen to look for him.
Cheng Jiu was washing the POTS and dishes with great efficiency. Hearing footsteps, he didn't turn around and said, "What's wrong?"
Xin Gan stood at the kitchen door, looking at his burly figure and said softly, "I want to help you."
"No need. It'll be fine soon. Go and sit on the sofa."
Xin Gan felt too embarrassed to just sit and do nothing, so she let him do it alone.
After thinking for a while, I still went in, took a clean cloth and helped him wipe the dishes.
Cheng Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, staring at her profile for a while, but said nothing.
When everything was finally tidied up, Cheng Jiu washed his hands, casually held her hand, pulled it into his arms, and held her hand to rinse under the faucet. It seemed that she couldn't wash her hands by herself and asked him for help.
By the time she finished washing her hands, her ears had turned completely red. Fortunately, her hair was lowered to cover them, so he couldn't see them.
Cheng Jiu half hugged her and went to sit on the sofa. He took the remote control and asked her softly, "What movie do you want to watch?"
"All right."
The two were very close. At this moment, his arm was around her waist. The clothes she was wearing were already very form-fitting. After sitting down, the curves of her waist and hips became even more obvious. There was also a faint perfume smell on her, which was very pleasant.
Cheng Jiu tightened his throat and forced himself to look away, saying, "What kind of watch do you like?"
"I've watched it all. I have no special requirements." "
Cheng Jiu asked in a low voice, "Romance film?"
Girls, after all, should all like to watch romantic films, especially the very romantic ones.
He used to be in college. He went on dates with his girlfriend at that time and went to the cinema to watch a movie once or twice. They were all romantic films. But at that time, he felt bored and had no interest in watching at all. As soon as he entered the cinema, he would fall asleep and sleep until the end of the movie.
This time with Xin Gan, the words "romantic film" suddenly popped into his mind. Look, look. She should like it.
Cheng Jiu looked for several types of movies and came across a French niche film that focused on romantic love, so he opened it to watch.
Xin Gan suddenly said, "Have you seen it?"
"None."
Xin Gan shifted her body a little, took a pillow to hold, relaxed a little, and leaned against the sofa. Of course, his arm was still on her waist and had not let go.
It was just a simple physical contact. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, they had already got their marriage certificate. It was just that they hadn't held the wedding ceremony yet. If it were any more intimate behavior, she thought she wouldn't resist. They had already got their marriage certificate. If they were still coy and hesitant, it would seem too pretentious.
Her thinking is not particularly conservative either and is acceptable.
Thinking about each other like this, she didn't pay attention to what the movie was about. The progress bar passed by more than twenty minutes, and the screen suddenly changed. It was the scene of the male and female leads kissing when they were deeply in love. Just the kissing scene alone occupied the entire screen.
Xin Gan felt that the two of them really had nothing to do and were actually staying here watching a movie, and it was a romantic one.
Cheng Jiu was quite natural. There was no expression on his face and he seemed very serious about it.
Xin Gan felt sleepy while watching. It was nearly three o 'clock now. The curtains were half open, the room was not very bright, and the air conditioner was on. It was very comfortable. Gradually, she became drowsy and slowly relaxed her body, then leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep.
When Cheng Jiu saw her asleep, he didn't disturb her. He turned down the volume of the movie, slowly freed his hand and let her lie on the sofa to sleep. Then he went into the bedroom and took a thin blanket to cover her.
Now he had some time. Cheng Jiu took his phone and walked to the terrace to call Cheng Hui. The other end answered quickly, his voice very low, and he asked, "Brother, are you looking for me?"
What does the text message you sent me mean?
Cheng Hui said, "Let me ask you, brother, do you have a woman on the other side of Beiyu Island?"
Cheng Hui is training and is taking a break now. He answers the phone secretly.
Where did I get the woman from? What have you heard again?
"Little sister-in-law isn't here again. Don't lie to me. Once I called your phone, it was a woman who answered. It was in the dead of night. How come your phone is in another woman's hands?" "
So what did she say?
"I don't know. It was the little sister-in-law who answered the call. If you want to ask the little sister-in-law, brother, don't say I'm not on your side. If you go bad, I won't recognize you in the future." "
Cheng Jiu gave a faint snort and said, "Did Xin Gan say anything to you after that?"
No, she must have kept it in mind. She didn't ask you, did she? Why don't you find an opportunity to explain?
Cheng Jiu probably understood and perfunctorily said, "Got it."
...
Cheng Jiu thought it over carefully, sorted out the ins and outs, and only then did he return to the living room and sit on the single sofa nearby.
This house has been vacant for too long, lacking vitality. The decoration is monotonous and everywhere exudes a cold and impersonal style.
Xin Gan didn't wake up until after four in the afternoon. She had a feeling as if she were in a different world, not knowing where she was. She was stunned for a while. When she saw the movie still playing on the screen, she finally remembered where she was.
The pattering sound of water came from the bathroom in the room. Cheng Jiu was taking a bath. When she reached the bathroom door and heard the sound of water, she stopped in her tracks.
The sound of water came to an abrupt halt. In the next second, Cheng Jiu's voice rang out, calling her name through a flashing glass door: "Xin Gan?"
Xin Gan: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Jiu reached out to take the bathrobe cover on the shelf, didn't bother to wipe his hair, and opened the bathroom door. Seeing her standing at the door, he asked, "Are you awake?" Are you hungry?
His hair was still dripping with water, his open bathrobe exposed his chest and collarbone, and he was still shrouded in mist.
Xin Gan shook his head and said, "Not hungry."
Would you like something to drink then?
"HMM?"
Cheng Jiu said, "Then have a little."
Cheng Jiu first went to the cloakroom to change into a T-shirt and cotton and linen trousers. At the same time, he wiped his hair with a towel. His hair was short and dried quickly. Then he went to the kitchen and made a cup of juice.
Thank you. Xin Gan took it and subconsciously said "Thank you."
Cheng Jiu said, "Don't say thank you to me."
Two people were sitting on the sofa. The sun was still strong outside the window at this moment, but not as scorching as it was at noon. Cheng Jiu looked at the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window for a while and narrowed his eyes.
Xin Gan sipped the juice in small mouthfuls, stopped and asked him, "Are your injuries getting better?"
No problem.
You just took a bath... Didn't the doctor say not to take a bath for now?
If you don't take a bath soon, you'll smell bad.
Xin Gan frowned and said, "Then avoid the wound. You..."
"It's okay. The skin is rough and the flesh is thick. There's no problem. Don't worry."
How could she not be worried? Even though he said so, Xin Gan was still not at ease.
Cheng Jiu smiled and said, "Then why don't I take off my clothes and you check?"
Xin Gan: "Then take it off. I'll check the injuries on your body."
Cheng Jiu was silent for a moment and still took off his clothes.
The wound hadn't completely scabbed over yet, and some new flesh had grown out, looking somewhat shocking. She had never suffered such a serious injury before, let alone experienced it herself. Now she could see it clearly. Her heart tightened, and she worriedly said, "Let's go to the hospital and have the doctor deal with it later. I'm afraid the wound might get infected, which would be bad."
Cheng Jiu didn't care: "Don't bother. Just wait for it to recover by itself."
This is no small problem... She frowned. "Do you still feel dizzy and uncomfortable?"
Cheng Jiu knew it, but she was still very worried. He turned around and looked into her eyes, "So worried about me?"
Xin Gan nodded. "I'm worried. How could I not be worried?"
Cheng Jiu's face was filled with a smile. His eyes suddenly lit up. Ignoring the wounds on his body, he leaned forward to approach her and said, "You're worrying too much. You underestimate me. This little injury is nothing."
If it weren't for him taking off his clothes now, Xin Gan would have noticed that there were still some other scars on his body, all left from his previous injuries. No wonder he didn't take this injury seriously. He was already used to it.
From now on, be more careful. After all, at this moment, he is not alone.
Cheng Jiu reached out and scraped her nose tip: "I will."
Cheng Jiu originally didn't want to show it to her, but considering that she might still see it later, he decided to just watch it for her.
When he got dressed, she said, "Are you going home tonight?"
"Not back."
Xin Gan: "Well..."
Cheng Jiu saw through her thoughts. "You won't be going back tonight either. Stay here."
...
Xin Gan still called home and said, "Mom, I'm not going back tonight, so there's no need for me to have dinner."
Xin Mu clapped her fingers and said, "Are you with Cheng Jiu?"
Xin Gan didn't have the nerve to admit it. She stammered and said "Thank you".
Mother Xin smiled and said, "Was it him who came to see you this morning?" Since it's him who's looking for you, why are you too embarrassed to tell Mom for fear that I won't let you go out?
Xin Gan felt even more embarrassed and said awkwardly, "That's not what I meant..."
"All right, all right. Mom has been through it all. How could she not know? You two have both got married. If you live together now, it's fine. It's quite normal. Then I'll tell your dad to take care of yourself. Eat well. Don't skip eating just to lose weight." "
After Xin Gan finished calling home, Cheng Jiu's eyes softened a little as he said, "You watch TV for a while. I'll go cook."
Xin Gan couldn't sit still and hurriedly followed him in, saying, "I'll help too."
...
At around seven o 'clock in the evening, when the freshmen finished their day's training and were about to disperse, Tang Huaihuai called out to Cheng Hui.
The other students left one after another and went back to their usual business.
Cheng Hui looked at Tang Huaihuai with a cold expression and said nothing.
Tang Huaihuai walked up to her, crossed his arms and said, "What a coincidence! I never expected you to be my student. When I saw the list, I thought they had the same name."
Then, what can I do for you?
It's nothing much. I just want to say hello to you. After all, we are old acquaintances.
Cheng Hui said, "Not bad."
"Huihui, you can't just dislike me because my brother rejected your pursuit, can you?"
Cheng Hui's scar was exposed, but he didn't lose his expression at once.
Tang Huaihuai looked at her expression. Her smile was somewhat mocking. Then she said, "Even if you dislike me, I still like you quite a lot. Besides, I know your brother. For your brother's sake, I will also take good care of you."
"By the way, there's also Kagawa. Kagawa loves you very much too. You have the love of two elder brothers. If you have an elder sister, would you mind?"
