Liu Xiaoya opened the door. The room was very dark. She pressed the light switch next to the door. Ling Aotian sat by the bed and stared at her. He held a cigarette in his hand but did not light it.
Liu Xiaoya didn't expect him to be sitting there, so she couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Why... why are you sitting here?"
Ling Aotian didn't speak. He lowered his head and looked at the cigarette in his hand.
At this time, Lu Xueqin ran up and said, "Are you awake? I came to see you just now. You are all still asleep. Are you drunk?"
Liu Xiaoya smiled and said: "It's much better after a good sleep!"
Lu Xueqin came over and took her arm: "Let's go out to eat!"
Liu Xiaoya asked: "Why do you want to go out to eat? Isn't there a lot of food at home at noon?"
Lu Xueqin said: "How can that be done? It's all leftovers, I can't give it to you!"
"Why can't you give it to us? I like to eat those dishes!" Liu Xiaoya wanted to help his master save money.
Lu Xueqin said: "No! No! Let's go. We have to go out to eat tonight no matter what. Aotian, let's go!"
Ling Aotian looked at them and said, "I want to drink porridge."
Liu Xiaoya said: "Yes, I want to drink porridge too. Xueqin, if you don't want to go out to eat, just make some porridge and drink it. I drank too much wine at noon and I have no taste for anything else at night."
Before Lu Xueqin could continue to persuade, Fang Shaoyun came up. He had already heard what Liu Xiaoya and Ling Aotian were talking about, so he smiled and said: "They will all save money for me. This marriage of mine is really worth it. I didn't spend a penny to get a wife."
I’ve saved a lot of money on betrothal gifts and even banquets. Okay, if you don’t go out to eat, I won’t be polite to you!”
He hugged Lu Xueqin's waist and said, "Honey, I'll cook a big pot of porridge for them to drink as the guests wish. It doesn't cost a lot of money, and it can keep them full."
Lu Xueqin glared at him angrily: "What did you say? You also said that I am stingy. You are really stingy."
Fang Shaoyun smiled, turned to Ling Aotian and Liu Xiaoya and said: "But I have to say it first. The money I saved, when you get married in the future, I must return this favor...
…”
Liu Xiaoya and Ling Aotian suddenly heard Fang Shaoyun say such a sentence, and they couldn't help but looked at each other. Liu Xiaoya blushed and didn't know what to say, and Ling Aotian's face didn't look natural.
Lu Xueqin pulled Fang Shaoyun and said, "Go and make porridge!"
Lu Xueqin pulled Fang Shaoyun down the stairs. Fang Shaoyun looked back and said to Lu Xueqin: "Do you think they have any problems?"
Lu Xueqin said: "You still said! You will embarrass them if you are so straightforward."
Fang Shaoyun said disapprovingly: "What's so embarrassing? If they have no secrets in their hearts, they will think that I am talking about them getting married separately. Only if they have secrets in their hearts, they will think that I am talking about the two of them getting married -
marriage!"
Ling Aotian and Liu Xiaoya were the only ones left in the room. Liu Xiaoya felt very embarrassed, so she turned and walked out of the room.
Ling Aotian looked at her back and opened his mouth to say something, but did not say anything.
After dinner, Ling Aotian said he wanted to go back. Lu Xueqin wanted to persuade her to stay, but before she could say anything, Fang Shaoyun said, "Just go back. Then we'll see you off and come to your house to play."
Ling Aotian glanced at him and did not express any objection. Lu Xueqin also understood what Fang Shaoyun meant. Only Liu Xiaoya looked at them in confusion and said, "Aren't you going to have wedding flowers and candles tonight?"
