Seeing her aggrieved look, Jing Xiao's anger dissipated all of a sudden. He took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and softened his tone a little, "If you want to go home, you can tell me. I completely I can send you there.”
"I don't want to trouble you." She still lowered her eyes and spoke lightly.
Her words hurt Jing Xiao's heart.
"Anyway, we are already married. If you don't want to trouble me, are you still treating me as a stranger?" He asked in a desolate and helpless tone.
Seeing that she remained silent, he simply sat by the bed and continued: "Zhizhi, even if you don't want to treat me as your husband, you can at least treat me as a big brother who lives under the same roof with you. .”
Tang Mu Zhi was a little dumbfounded by his words. This seemed to be the first time that he called her Zhi Zhi, and he just said that he could treat him not as her husband, but as a big brother.
Did such words really come from his mouth?
Or was it because she had a headache and had auditory hallucinations?
"Zhizhi, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?" Jing Xiao couldn't help but ask when he saw her looking at him blankly with a bad look on her face.
Hearing him call her Zhi Zhi again, Tang Mu Zhi finally reacted and hesitated: "No...it's okay."
Two red clouds appeared on her cheeks, and she held the quilt tightly with both hands. This feeling was too strange and too fatal.
The thirty-year-old man already had a mature aura about him, and when paired with his words and his eyes, it was like a deadly combination of punches.
How could Tang Mu Zhi, who was in his early twenties, be able to withstand this?
Seeing that she was getting shy, Jing Xiao didn't intend to push her too hard, so he changed the subject, "By the way, grandma knows that you've fainted and been hospitalized, so she'll be here soon."
Hearing this, Tang Muzhi's face was filled with shock, and she quickly asked: "How did grandma know?"
"she……"
"How can I not know about such a big thing?" Before Jing Xiao finished speaking, Mrs. Jing's voice came from the door.
After seeing her, Tang Mu Zhi was startled. She wanted to get up, but was stopped.
"Lie down quickly and don't move around." Mrs. Jing walked to the bed, and Jing Xiao also got up and made way for her.
"Grandma." She called, with a hint of embarrassment in her voice.
"You girl, why did you get sick even though everything was fine?" Mrs. Jing patted her hand, sighed, and continued, "You fainted on the way, are you trying to scare me, an old woman, to death? ah."
Her tone was very complaining, but Tang Muzhi didn't feel the slightest hint of blame. On the contrary, there was a hint of warmth in her heart.
"Grandma, it's just a little cold. It's okay."
Although the illness was caused by Jing Xiao, he had already taken care of her all night last night, so she would naturally not sell him out now.
Besides, originally she would be fine if she took a good rest at home today, but now that she is in the hospital, she can only blame herself for being disobedient.
"What you said is dishonest." Mrs. Jing glared at her, then looked at Jing Xiao aside, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Suddenly being questioned, Jing Xiao was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he decided to tell the truth, "Last night..."
"I went home late last night and caught a cold due to the cold wind." Tang Muzhi suddenly interrupted, signaling him not to speak with her eyes.
Mrs. Jing could naturally see the clues between them, and her eyes swept back and forth between them, "Is this really the case?"
Tang Muzhi nodded vigorously. Jing Xiao glanced at her and then nodded, which was regarded as acquiescence.
In fact, he didn't intend to shirk responsibility for what happened last night. After all, it was his fault. But now, when Tang Muzhi's pleading eyes came to her, he couldn't help but cooperate with her.
"If this is really the case, then Ah Xiao, this is your fault." Madam Jing started to lecture her with a straight face, "Zhizhi came home late, wouldn't you pick her up? Your home is only a few minutes away from her school, so you went to pick her up from get out of class and treated it like a walk. What a husband you did was really incompetent."
Originally, Tang Muzhi didn't want to talk about what happened last night because he didn't want Jing Xiao to be scolded, but now it was better, he was still scolded.
"Yes, what grandma taught me is that it was my problem." Jing Xiao lowered his eyes and just admitted his mistake without making too many excuses.
"I know it's your problem. Then after Zhizhi finishes class, you go and pick her up every night."
Upon hearing this, Jing Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't expect that she would make such a request. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized that this old lady was probably doing it on purpose.
Tang Muzhi's eyes widened. He reached out and tugged on Mrs. Jing's sleeves and said softly: "Grandma, I really don't need him to pick her up. I can do it myself, and I will go back early."
"That won't work." She shook her head decisively and advised, "You have final exams coming soon. You are very busy. You will definitely go back late at night. It won't be long anyway, so let this brat pick you up every day. "
Seeing that she seemed a little embarrassed, Jing Xiao suddenly spoke and agreed to the matter, "Zhizhi, what grandma said is right. From now on, until the end of your exam, I will pick you up every time."
Anyway, this is not a bad thing. It can even prevent other men from sending her home, which is a good thing.
His words made Tang Muzhi stunned for a long time and he didn't come back to his senses.
What's going on with this guy?
He clearly wanted to divide the Chu-He-Han world with her before, but now he acted out of common sense again and again, calling her Zhizhi and treating her as a big brother. What was going on?
Could it be that he is sick too? Or maybe you didn't get any rest last night and your brain is confused?
The expression on Mrs. Jing's face softened a lot, and she felt really happy, "In that case, it's settled."
She had already made the decision, and Tang Muzhi didn't want to say anything more. He thought of accepting the matter first and then finding a way to shirk it later.
Since she didn't like staying in the hospital, she had to talk for a while before grandma and Jing Xiao agreed to let her go home.
On the way back, Mrs. Jing came up with another plan, saying that it was too late today and wanted to stay overnight at their house.
She was not discussing this decision with them, but informing them.
Jing Xiao drove the car by himself, so he glanced at his grandma through the rearview mirror, and instantly understood her plan from her eyes.
Although there are three rooms in their house, one was indeed empty before, but today Aunt Man came to the house. It would not be appropriate if grandma also wanted to stay overnight.
Tang Muzhi was also a little uneasy at the moment, but she was worried about something different from Jing Xiao.
She was already prepared to sleep with her grandma at night. She did not resist this matter, but was actually looking forward to it.
However, she was afraid that her cold would be transmitted to the elderly, so she was a little embarrassed.
Along the way, they each had their own concerns, but they still chatted about a lot of things.
After arriving home, Aunt Man had already prepared dinner.
In this family now, except for Tang Mu Zhi, the three of them are very familiar with each other, but at the moment, in order to prevent Jing Xiao's identity from being revealed, they can only pretend not to know each other.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, but Jing Xiao was a little absent-minded.
After the meal, Mrs. Jing took the two of them to sit on the sofa and chat while Aunt Man was cleaning the kitchen.
"Zhizhi, I'm old and don't sleep well. You have a cold now. If I sleep with you at night, I'm afraid it will affect you."
As soon as she said these words, Jing Xiao knew that the old lady was trying to trick him again, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, why don't you go sleep in my room, and I'll just spend the night on the sofa. "
"How can I do that? You are a lighter sleeper than me. Can you fall asleep on this sofa?" Mrs. Jing looked at him, her eyes full of threats, "Besides, your eyes are full of red bloodshot eyes." , I can see that I didn’t sleep well last night. If I don’t sleep well tonight, I’m afraid I’m going to collapse. Zhizhi hasn’t recovered from her cold yet. If you collapse, who will take care of her?”
"Grandma, you can sleep in my room. It's okay. It won't affect me." Seeing this, Tang Muzhi hurriedly opened his mouth to help. Suddenly he remembered that he was sick, so he added, "If that doesn't work, I can sleep on the sofa." .”
After she said this, she regretted it a little, looking like she was belatedly thinking about it.
Grandma wants to drive her out of the bedroom, so what's the next step? Wasn't she trying to rush her to Jing Xiao's room?
When she thought of this, her eyes widened suddenly. It seemed that people's brains were slow when they were sick, so it was true.
"How can that work?" Mrs. Jing immediately rejected her proposal, "You are sick now. If you sleep on the sofa all night, wouldn't it be more serious?"
Tang Muzhi suddenly realized that he had fallen into a pit. He pursed his lips and smiled, not knowing what to say.
"Then let Aunt Man sleep on the sofa." Jing Xiao suddenly suggested, not forgetting to look in the direction of the kitchen and asking in a loud voice, "Aunt Man, is that okay?"
But before Aunt Man could speak, Mrs. Jing shook her head again, "Of course not, your Aunt Man is old. Besides, she just came to your house today, and she asked someone to sleep on the sofa as soon as she came. Isn't that ridiculous?" OK."
Aunt Man, who was busy in the kitchen, naturally understood what she meant when she heard what she said, so she pretended not to hear and continued to work with her head down.
Seeing that neither this nor that would work, Jing Xiao and Tang Mu Zhi looked at each other. They knew that the old lady was going to make a big move next.
Sure enough, the next second, she started talking about her arrangement, "Look, tonight, Aunt Man will sleep in the small room, I will sleep in Zhizhi's room, and you two will sleep in the master bedroom. It's just right."
After hearing her arrangements, Jing Xiao instantly remembered an old saying: If you are not one of the same family, you will not enter the same house.
He had just set a trap for Zhou Chengsi at the company in the afternoon, and he asked his grandma to set a trap for him tonight.
Looking at it this way, things seem to have formed a closed loop.
