After learning that Chu Yue was pregnant, Ningdong and Qiu Shuang began to act cautiously.
Fortunately, the Lu family has a good family tradition and does not have the tradition of three wives and four concubines. They do not have to deal with the warblers and swallows in the backyard. All they need to do is to protect Chu Yue's safety and ensure her food.
That night, Ningdong lay next to Heimu and looked cautiously in his direction.
Since the day they got married, Kuroki has never touched her again, but he is very kind to her.
All the money he earned was given to her. He would take the initiative to do anything if they were together. Sometimes he would bring her snacks when he came back from an outing. Occasionally he would pick a handful of beautiful flowers on the road for her, or maybe Some fun gadgets.
And he never lets the woman next to him get close to him.
She saw all this in her eyes. Kuroki was indeed a qualified and responsible husband.
However, she always felt that this shouldn't be like this between the two of them. He was the one who took the initiative on the wedding night, so why didn't he touch her these days?
Even communication is minimal.
"Heimu, don't you like me?" Ningdong asked with courage.
Kuroki, who had his back to her, was stunned and turned to glance at her.
"Why do you ask so suddenly?"
"Because you never take the initiative to talk to me? Also... also..." At this point, Ningdong choked with aggrieved words, "If you really don't like me, I won't pester you. I can go and talk to Madam To be clear, the worst case scenario is that the two of us can just reconcile."
Kuroki was startled.
The two of them were married, and even though he had no feelings for her before, after spending so many days together and having physical contact, of course he still treated her differently.
Otherwise, why would you think of bringing her a gift every time you go out?
It's just that he drank wine on his wedding night to strengthen his courage, but now he felt particularly awkward if he was asked to do something directly.
But looking at it now, this girl has misunderstood.
Kuroki lay down flat, moved his fingers, and held the small hand beside him in his big palm.
"No harmony."
Still in a calm tone.
After hearing this, Ningdong felt even more aggrieved.
"What do you mean? Since you don't like me, why don't you make peace with me? Is it fun to hang on to me?"
Her eyes were filled with tears, and her red eyes looked directly at Kuroki.
Seeing this, Kuroki's face remained expressionless, but panic flashed through his heart.
Seeing the tears sliding down her cheeks, he quickly raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face, "Stop crying, I don't dislike it."
Ningdong sniffed and said dullly, "I don't dislike it, and I don't like it, right? But since you have no intention of me, why did you get married that night..."
She blushed slightly, lowered her eyes and said, "I originally planned to treat you with respect and respect for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that you would break this balance on the first night."
Ningdong sat up from the bed and raised his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes.
He glanced at the indifferent Kuroki and couldn't help but blame himself. She was really crazy to talk so much to this big ice cube.
"That's all, let's live our own lives from now on. You don't have to give me the money you earn anymore, and you don't need to bring me gifts when you go out. Then I won't have any hope for you."
If you have no hope, you will naturally not be disappointed.
After Ningdong finished speaking, he stepped out of bed with his shoes on, took out a thin quilt from the cabinet, and slept on the couch beside him.
Heimu looked at Ningdong's petite back, then at the empty space beside him, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He was not good at words, and it was his first time to be so close to a girl. It was true that he did not do a good job in handling the relationship between husband and wife.
Thinking of this, Heimu also got out of bed. He came to Ningdong, picked her up and walked to the bed together with the thin quilt covering her body.
Ningdong was startled by Heimu's sudden movement and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"You...what are you doing?"
However, Kuroki is still just a few faint words.
"It's cold on the couch."
Ningdong snorted, "What's cold is that I'm not you. Didn't I say we shouldn't interfere with each other?"
Kuroki pursed his lips, "If you catch a cold, you have to take care of me, trouble."
As soon as the words came out, he frowned.
With his mouth, it seems that he is really not good at coaxing girls.
Sure enough, when Ningdong heard this, he wanted to struggle out of Heimu's arms and said angrily, "Put me down! Don't worry, even if I'm really sick, I won't ask you to take care of me."
However, even though Ningdong had some skills, he was still no match for Blackwood.
He put Ningdong on the bed, put his hands on her side, and looked straight at her with a pair of dark and cold eyes.
"You have been with me for so many years. You should know that I don't like to talk. It's not that I don't like you. I don't take the initiative to talk to you. The main reason is that I don't know what to say."
This was the first time Ningdong had heard him explain to himself in the years he had known him, and the first time he had heard him say so many words in one breath.
She was a little stunned, swallowed hard, and asked nervously, "You...what do you mean?"
Kuroki's eyes were magnanimous.
"I know you are not satisfied with my performance during this period. I will try to make some changes in the future. Don't ignore me, okay?"
This last sentence has a hint of begging.
Ningdong was surprised.
Is this still the big ice cube she used to know?
Wasn't she dreaming?
"Are you willing to make changes for me?" she asked uncertainly.
"Yes." Kuroki nodded, "You are my wife, and I am willing to make changes for you."
Although there were no sweet words, Ningdong was still surprised that Big Ice Cube could speak such words.
At least it shows that she doesn't have any weight in Big Ice Cube's heart.
She wrapped her arms around Kuroki's neck.
"Then kiss me and I will believe you."
Looking at the sly smile in the eyes of the little girl under him, Kuroki felt his mood brighten.
His originally cold expression suddenly softened, and he lowered his head and kissed Ningdong's lips.
…
Ningdong didn't expect that he just asked Heimu to kiss her last night, but in the end, he ate her up and wiped her clean.
Rubbing her sore waist, she got up from the bed, tidied up a little and went to Chu Yue's yard.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people came to Zhuangzi to pay New Year greetings.
Not only did Lu Yufang and Xu Heng come with their children, but also Wu Yong came, and even Yang Shichao, who now had a military attache position in the capital, also came.
With the arrival of these people, plus the thirty or so Lu family who originally lived in Zhuangzi, it was very lively.
"No one expected that the apprentice who followed Master Liu to build a house in Lao San's house would now become the general of Nanyuan Kingdom. Wu Yong, you are really a good boy." After Lu Laifu finished speaking, he raised his hand towards Wu Yong. Raise a glass.
Wu Yong raised his glass with a slight smile.
"Uncle Lu is so complimentary."
