Hearing the footsteps at the door, Xu Yue came out: "Xiao Ruan, Xiao Shen, please sit down for a moment. The meal will be ready soon."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Aunt Xu, let me help you."
With that said, she took off her coat and handed it to Zhou Cishen and entered the kitchen.
Zhou Cishen took it and raised his eyebrows.
Xu Yue said: "No need, I'll be fine here soon."
"Usually you should have gone to bed at this time, but it's so late and yet I'm bothering you."
"What's the point of this? I live here alone and I don't have anyone to talk to. It's too late for me to be happy that you can come."
"Aunt Xu...do you live here alone?"
Xu Yue seemed not to notice anything and responded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Ruan Xingwan smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just remember that Aunt Qin said she wanted to live with Aunt Xu before, I thought you..."
"Aunt Qin, she is."
Xu Yue said while holding the bowls and chopsticks, "You also know that your Aunt Qin has a restless temper. It's too quiet here. After she stayed for a while, she went on a trip with the senior group to have fun outside.
It’s here.”
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan did not ask any more questions.
Sure enough, she thought too much.
After eating, Xu Yue said: "It's getting late now, the room has been packed up, you can go up and have a rest."
She had already slept on the way here. Ruan Xingwan didn't feel sleepy at the moment, so she went to clean up the bowls: "Aunt Xu, go to bed. I'll wash here."
"OK."
After Xu Yue finished speaking, she entered the room.
Ruan Xingwan picked up the tableware in the kitchen, and when he was about to wash it, someone took the bowl in his hand.
Zhou Cishen said: "You do it, I'll do it."
Ruan Xingwan couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm, and silently felt sorry for these plates.
She went out and sat on the sofa for five minutes when she heard the sound of two tableware being smashed inside.
One is a dinner plate and the other is a dinner spoon.
Ruan Xingwan was so used to it that he didn't even raise his head.
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Cishen finally came out with a dark face.
Ruan Xingwan sincerely praised: "It's very good. At least I only broke one plate today."
"Shut up."
Ruan Xingwan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, feeling much better.
Zhou Cishen pulled off his tie with one hand: "I'm going to take a shower."
Only then did Ruan Xingwan notice that most of his shirt was wet.
He is really good at washing dishes like this.
"Eh..." Ruan Xingwan said quickly, "Is there only one room?"
After Zhou Cishen walked a few steps, he turned to look at her: "Otherwise?"
Ruan Xingwan couldn't help but curl his lips, knowing this would happen.
When Zhou Cishen went upstairs, Ruan Xingwan was still sitting on the sofa, hugging his knees and looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.
At this moment, the door to the bedroom next to her was opened, and Xu Yue came out: "I haven't slept yet."
Ruan Xingwan recovered his thoughts: "Aunt Xu..."
Xu Yue sat next to her: "Have you been working hard recently?
I see you have lost a lot of weight."
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "Isn't it summer? It's time to lose weight."
"Nonsense, you are so thin, why lose weight?"
Ruan Xingwan said again: "Aunt Xu, are you used to living here alone?"
Xu Yue said calmly: "I've lived alone for so long. It's the same everywhere. Is there anything I'm not used to?"
This is also true.
After a while, Ruan Xingwan continued: "Aunt Xu, have you been living here since you left Anqiao Long Street?"
Xu Yue paused and then said: "I have lived in other places."
A light suddenly appeared in Ruan Xingwan's eyes: "Where is it...?"
"I'm still in Anseong, but I don't have the habit of living here, so I moved here."
The light in Ruan Xingwan's eyes dimmed little by little, and after a few seconds he gently nodded in agreement: "Ancheng is actually a bit noisy, but Anqiao Long Street is the quietest."
Xu Yue hummed: "What about you? I see that there has been a lot of commotion online recently. Does it have any impact on you?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "The impact is not big, but it is quite annoying. One thing follows another, endlessly."
"Take your time, sort out one thing slowly, and things will eventually end one day."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Aunt Xu, after everything is over, you can move back to Nancheng and live with us."
Xu Yue smiled: "Let's see then."
Ruan Xingwan also understands the habit of living alone for a long time. Although he may occasionally feel lonely, it is always better than the annoying things in life.
So being alone is sometimes quite good.
Xu Yue stood up: "Okay, I'm going to bed. You should also go to bed early. Don't you have to get up early to go back to Nancheng tomorrow?"
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "I understand, Aunt Xu, good night."
After Xu Yue returned to the room, Ruan Xingwan also went upstairs. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhou Cishen coming out of the shower, with wet black hair.
Their eyes met for a few seconds.
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She said in disbelief: "Why don't you wear clothes?"
"The clothes are wet."
He is quite confident.
Ruan Xingwan's ears continued to feel hot: "Then can't you...find something to cover it up a little bit?"
Zhou Cishen said: "Where haven't you seen it?"
Ruan Xingwan couldn't resist him and went straight into the bathroom.
Although she didn't bring a change of clothes, at least the clothes were dry and she could wear them again after taking a shower. Just be dirty if they were dirty. It was better than wearing nothing at all.
After taking a shower, Zhou Cishen was already lying on the bed.
Ruan Xingwan's eyelids twitched, she really didn't want to sleep with him.
When she lay down, she stayed close to the bed, keeping the greatest distance from Zhou Cishen.
But after a while, a warm body pressed against him.
The man's breath blew behind her ears, and his voice was low and ambiguous: "Why are you still wearing this dress?"
Ruan Xingwan endured it and said, "There is nothing to change."
"Then take it off, it smells good."
Ruan Xingwan held on to the hem of her clothes to prevent him from succeeding: "Don't get so close to me that you won't be able to smell it."
Zhou Cishen: "..."
He coaxed in a low voice: "You can't smell it even if you take it off."
Ruan Xingwan knew what he wanted to do, frowned and whispered: "Don't you want to be here?
Nothing at all."
Zhou Ci kissed her forehead deeply: "Wouldn't it be better to just give birth to a child?"
"not good."
"Why?"
Ruan Xingwan turned her back to him: "I don't want to give birth."
Zhou Cishen pulled her over again: "Don't you like children?"
After a silence, Ruan Xingwan said: "It's one thing to like him, but if I don't have the ability to protect him, it doesn't matter how much I like him.
If you do it just because you like it without considering the actual consequences, then this is an irresponsible behavior."
"so serious?"
Listening to his light tone, Ruan Xingwan couldn't bear it and kicked him: "If you want to have a baby so much, just give birth to yourself!"
