Chapter 67 - 065 Self-Control Actually Declined [He’s Bi+]
"Woken up?" Xie Jingchen shifted his petite wife’s body and turned her to face him directly.
He found that it seemed to have become a habit for his wife to sleep curled up, no matter how straight she laid before falling asleep. Once she was deep in slumber, she would instinctively curl up into a small ball, and even after he straightened her out, she couldn’t maintain the position for half an hour before seeking the most comfortable position for herself!
Yet he couldn’t bear to wake her, so he let her continue sleeping this way. Perhaps, deep down he knew he couldn’t always be by her side. Even if he straightened her sleeping posture these few days, once he left, her habits would still take over; such was her nature.
Knowing that he would soon be leaving her, his heart grew more accommodating and tolerant toward her.
"Hmm?! What time is it?" Zhang Shanni propped herself up on his chest, glanced up, and saw that it was really bright outside~ Was it noon or afternoon now?
"Don’t worry, it’s just past one o’clock. Are you hungry?" Xie Jingchen saw her little face scrunch up in panic at the time and hurriedly explained, "Elder brother’s wife’s family had something to take care of, so the eldest brother went with her. The fourth brother and his wife have gone to work. Even the wife of our fifth brother was sent back to the Wang Family by the fifth brother early in the morning. Little sister and the nephews have all gone to school, there’s no outsider at home, don’t be scared, no one will criticize you."
"Ah? Then where are mom and dad?" Zhang Shanni, after hearing his words, pulled back her still weak legs and exhaled with relief, only then realizing he hadn’t mentioned the two most important people!
"Today dad has to attend a meeting at the big brigade, and mom, being the head of households in the village, accompanied him."
"Aren’t we supposed to serve tea?" Zhang Shanni asked dumbly, isn’t serving tea a part of getting married?
"Serving tea? Didn’t we already serve tea during yesterday’s ceremony?" Xie Jingchen, not very familiar with these customs, replied casually.
