Zhao Ning held a soft silk pillow in her hands, lying on her side on more soft pillows, her eyes almost unable to open.
Mrs. Qu also held a soft pillow in her hand and sat cross-legged on Zhao Ning's soft couch, watching Xia Zhaoyi neatly and skillfully clean up the rags stuck around the wound.
"Ah Li," Mrs. Qu said sleepily, "it's almost dawn, so you should rest for a while before going out."
"There will be a lot of rest time," Xia Zhaoyi focused on picking up the gauze in the wound, "It's okay."
"How old are you?" Mrs. Qu yawned. "You're still growing up. If you don't sleep all night long, you won't grow taller."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled, glanced at her, and said nothing.
"I didn't say that," Mrs. Qu propped up her body, "Ah Li, girls must be strong. Don't read the books that say little birds are attracted to men because they are cute. Those are all false! Those words are all false.
Written by a man, he likes women to be soft and weak, so they are easy to bully."
"That's nonsense," Zhao Ning said, half asleep. "In fact, men love strong women. They talk about how easy it is to have children. The bigger the butt is, the more likely they are to have sons."
"As for the scores," Mrs. Qu said, "you are talking about the people in the village, who still have to go to the fields to do farm work. I am talking about the people in our city. People with good backgrounds like Ah Li, men would like them to be thin and weak.
It’s best if there aren’t many people in your mother’s family, and you’ll be destitute after everyone dies.”
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and took out another piece of cotton thread.
Mrs. Qu said with a serious face: "Ah Li, don't believe it."
"Are you confused?" Zhao Ning turned over slightly and looked towards her, "It's okay to say this to others, even to Chen Yunqi who is locked up in that building, but now you are sitting here
The girl is Ah Li."
"Hey." Mrs. Qu sighed, raised her hand and patted the pillow in her arms.
"Mrs. Qu is also doing her best for me," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "she wants me to grow taller."
Mrs. Qu didn't know what she was thinking of at this time, and looked towards Xia Zhaoyi's chest.
Xia Zhaoyi noticed her gaze, turned around, followed her gaze, and looked down at her chest.
Zhao Ning blinked and looked over.
"Huh?" Xia Zhaoyi looked back at them.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Ning looked at Mrs. Qu.
"Ah Li has a slender frame, but her breasts are quite plump," Mrs. Qu looked at her, "Although she is not as good as me, she is still good."
"?" Zhao Ning raised his hand and struck, "Qu Xiling, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Mrs. Qu quickly picked up the pillow and said: "This is nonsense. What's wrong with mentioning breasts? I think it's your prejudice that mentioning breasts and buttocks is just to please men. As everyone knows, the mother of the earth in the ancient literary image,
He has a strong body, big breasts and big butt, and his whole body is strong and full of strength!"
This was a good idea, so Zhao Ning leaned back and held his cheek with one hand.
"But Ah-li is Ah-li," Mrs. Qu looked back at Xia Zhaoyi and said, "Ordinary girls would blush and be shy, but Ah-li is open-minded and not at all uncomfortable."
Zhao Ning felt sleepy again, half-closed his eyes, and said calmly: "Me neither."
"What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Qu glanced at her and asked Xia Zhaoyi, "Ah Li, it's not me nagging, but you are in your youth. Most girls of your age will have their first love. What about you?
Do you have a husband you like?"
Xia Zhaoyi removed all the fine gauze, dipped a long spoon into the special ointment, and gently applied it around Zhao Ning's wound. He said casually: "I don't have time to do the things I like, and I don't have time to think about whether I will like it."
son."
"Ah, haven't you ever had your heart moved? Have you really never had a favorite husband?"
"Favorite, heart-beating..." Xia Zhaoyi stopped and looked thoughtfully at the almost transparent plaster on the wound.
Zhao Ning didn't hear her answer for a while, so he opened his eyes and looked at her.
I don’t know what the girl is thinking, her profile is a little dazed, her eyelashes are long and curled, but not too thick, and the right density makes her look particularly charming.
"Ah Li?" Zhao Ning whispered.
Xia Zhaoyi came back to her senses, looked at them, shook her head, and said no more.
Mrs. Qu and Zhao Ning looked at each other, wondering what she meant by shaking her head.
Mrs. Qu wanted to ask again, but Zhao Ning stopped her: "Don't bother Ah Li."
"Why am I bothering her?"
"Actually, I don't really like the relationship between men and women." The girl suddenly said proactively.
"Huh?" Mrs. Qu and Zhao Ning looked at her.
Xia Zhaoyi continued to gently apply the medicine to Zhao Ning, and her voice was also very soft: "My second brother's relationship between a man and a woman, although my second brother did nothing and never liked each other, the price was really heavy. I see
There are many so-called love affairs between men and women around us that do not end well. Moreover," Xia Zhaoyi paused and looked at them, "just like you two, you are so carefree and carefree, so there is no need for love."
Mrs. Qu was still wondering who her "second brother" was, but Zhao Ning had already whispered to her: "Tao Lan."
Mrs. Qu immediately frowned and whispered, "Just hearing these two words makes me feel bad."
"Now ask someone to find you a brazier." Zhao Ning joked.
"If you don't like it, then don't like it," Mrs. Qu looked at Xia Zhaoyi, "Ah Li, for extraordinary women like us, love between men and women is the icing on the cake, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't exist."
"You talk too much, as if you drank too much," Zhao Ning said.
"This is called keeping things personal," Mrs. Qu said, "We have all had men before, and Ah Li is still young."
Mrs. Qu's words were not wrong, but Zhao Ning felt disgusting goosebumps all over her body.
"Why do you look like this?" Mrs. Qu looked at her.
"I'm happy to." Zhao Ning said, covering his face with the soft pillow in his hand and wanting to ignore her.
After Xia Zhaoyi finished treating the wound on Zhao Ning's shoulder, she found that Zhao Ning had fallen asleep at some point.
Xia Zhaoyi gently pulled up her clothes and covered her up. He turned his head and saw Mrs. Qu leaning on the other side, also asleep.
Fortunately, Zhao Ning's soft couch was big enough, so the two of them would not look crowded even if they occupied the bed in such a domineering position.
Xia Zhaoyi went over and covered Mrs. Qu's quilt, then quietly packed the medicine box and left silently.
After struggling all night, it was almost midnight outside the house.
Snowflakes fell on the lamps under the eaves, breaking into fine pieces and distinct pieces.
Just coming out of the warm room, the severe cold outside was unavoidable and uncomfortable. Xia Zhaoyi looked at the thick snow in the patio downstairs. He wanted to stand for a while and wait until he could get used to it before leaving. Unexpectedly, while standing, his eyes
Unconsciously, I was distracted and stared blankly at those orange snowflakes disappearing out of the light and shadow.
Very light footsteps interrupted Xia Zhaoyi's thoughts.
She came back to her senses and looked at Manager Chu coming up the stairs.
Manager Chu had a pair of dark circles under his eyes. When he saw Xia Zhaoyi standing, he raised his hands and said, "Miss Ali."
"Zhao Ning is asleep, and so is Mrs. Qu." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"That's it," Manager Chu nodded, "Oh... I also want to ask how to punish Hongwen."
"Manager Chu, please go to bed early." Xia Zhaoyi raised his finger and pointed at his own eyes, but he was signaling to the other party.
"Ah, haha!" Manager Chu said with a smile, "Recently in Hengxiang, I seem busy, but in fact I am rich and leisurely. I am living next to my wife, and I am pampered. Now I protest after a while."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Manager Chu is funny."
"Miss Ali, you should go and rest," Manager Chu said. "What happened to Hengxiang this time actually has nothing to do with you."
"There are still some," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "I'll go work first."
"Um...ok!" Manager Chu said.
However, after walking a few steps, Xia Zhaoyi turned around again and looked at Manager Chu who raised his hand and yawned.
Manager Chu stopped immediately, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Manager Chu," Xia Zhaoyi said, "do you have a wife and children?"
"Yes, I still have two side houses," Manager Chu said, "Miss Ali, why do you ask this?"
"Will your wife be jealous and angry about your side wife?"
"That's not true. My wife is dignified and virtuous, and she manages the household well."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded and smiled: "Yes, she is a good wife."
"Miss Ah Li," Manager Chu's smile deepened, "Is it possible that you also want to start a family? Did my eldest wife just look for a young and promising son-in-law for you?"
"No," Xia Zhaoyi shook his head, "I remembered the confusion that Master and I discussed. Manager Chu, go to bed early and say goodbye."
Puzzled?
Manager Chu watched the girl's slender figure leave. He raised his hand and scratched his head. He didn't understand what kind of knowledge there could be that would be worth confusing someone like Miss Ali.
