In the evening, both parties were in a very low mood.
Li Feng's behavior sounded the alarm to Cao Xi. The world is unpredictable and her thoughts were incompatible with this dynasty.
If Qin Zhao really wanted to take a concubine and marry another one that day, she would not dare to think about it any more, as her heart would hurt.
Qin Zhao was also frightened by Cao Xi. Although he had no intention of taking a concubine, in his opinion, taking a concubine was a very normal thing.
Unexpectedly, Cao Xi would be so disgusted and warned him that if he had someone else, he would abandon him without mercy.
How could Cao Xi have such terrible thoughts? Is he so unimportant in her heart? She doesn't believe in him and can abandon him at any time.
Qin Zhao hugged the person next to him tightly and murmured in her ear, "No one can separate us."
Cao Xi was held in his arms and had difficulty breathing, and his neck was a little wet.
She turned around with great effort, and what she saw was Qin Zhao's wet and red eyes. Tears fell silently, making Cao Xi's heart ache.
This is the second time Qin Zhao has cried. Why does she always test Qin Zhao and why does she act so unconcerned? In the end, he didn't have confidence in Qin Zhao, or he didn't have confidence in himself.
It's not worth it to make both of them sad for something that didn't happen.
Cao Xi reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of Qin Zhao's eyes, but was firmly grabbed.
Qin Zhao: "I like you, I like you, I like you..."
Qin Zhao kept repeating this sentence, didn't he express his feelings?
He made it clear now, he told her now how much he liked her and please don't leave him, he couldn't bear it.
Cao Xi: "I know, I know everything, and I like you too."
Cao Xi wished he could beat himself to death. He was so happy during the day that he would not make anyone cry, but now it was himself who was heartbroken.
Cao Xi held those seductive lips in his mouth, turned over and sat on Qin Zhao, kissing her lips randomly.
Her hands kept tearing at his clothes, and Cao Xi wanted to tell Qin Zhao how much she liked him.
The bed curtains fell with her movements, and Cao Xi led the whole process, while Qin Zhao was only responsible for lying down.
When everything calmed down, Qin Zhao hugged the person in his arms, his panicked heart was soothed, and Cao Xi fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Zhao touched her hair and made a small sound from his lips.
"No one can take you away from me, not even yourself."
............................
After this incident, the relationship between the two became more stable, they trusted each other more, and they no longer worried about gains and losses.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the Chinese New Year is getting closer.
Cao Xi bought the red paper early, cut it into long strips, and waited for Qin Zhao to come back to write the couplet.
Qin Zhao's classwork became more and more intense and he spent almost all day in the academy. Cao Xi felt that his hair had become thinner.
Today was like usual. After school, Qin Zhao asked Qi Qige, "Are you going back to Qi Mansion during the New Year?"
Qi Qige: "What are you going to do when you go back? To see their family enjoying themselves, or to see them treat me coldly."
Tsk tsk, what’s so nice about New Year’s Eve? Isn’t it just a holiday?
Qin Zhao: "Will you come to my house to spend New Year's Eve?"
"If you don't go, let's just be a young couple. How uncomfortable it would be to pinch me by force."
When Qi Qige said this, she felt happy in her heart.
Qin Zhao: "You haven't done much in these years. There's so much nonsense. Don't come here empty-handed."
Qi Qige: "Let's talk about it then", waving the hand holding the fan, already revealed his mood.
...
On the early morning of New Year's Eve, just after dawn, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Qin Zhao knew who was knocking on the door without even thinking about it. He was a tough talker.
As expected, it was Chiqige who opened the door. He was dressed in a red robe, and there was a carriage behind him, full of new year's goods.
"What are you doing?" Qin Zhao pointed at the carriage
"New Year's gift for you"
Qi Qige squeezed past Qin Zhao and walked into the courtyard, and asked the boy to take the things in the car into the house.
Qin Zhao: "Is this too much?"
Qi Qige turned around and glared at him, "What's more, it's just this one day a year, what you want is the atmosphere, what about Cao Xi?"
Qin Zhao: "Making braised pork in the kitchen"
Qi Qige: "The braised pork is good, I like it" and walked into the kitchen.
As soon as the courtyard door rang, Cao Xi guessed that Qi Qige had arrived. He was busy with work and didn't have time to say hello.
"Is Gege here?" Cao Xi joked
"Can you please stop calling me Gege? I get goosebumps all over my body." Qi Qige rubbed her arms vigorously.
Cao Xi: "If your name is not Zhaozhao, my name is not Gege."
"This is still protected"
Qi Qige curled her lips, walked to the stove and looked into the pot, "Is it ready?"
"It's almost time." Cao Xi picked up a piece of minced meat and handed it to Qi Qige.
Qi Qige put the minced meat directly into his mouth. It was so hot that he blew out "it's delicious."
Qi Qige gave Cao Xi a thumbs up.
Cao Xi: "Ask Qin Zhao to write the couplet so that it can be posted later."
Qi Qige took dictation of the couplet and ate unintentionally, then hurried out: "Qin Zhao, don't move, let me come."
In this way, the New Year's couplets were occupied by Qi Qige.
After posting the couplets, they started making dumplings for breakfast. Since Cao Xi had to be busy with other dishes, the making of dumplings was left to Qin Zhao and Qi Qige.
Qin Zhao was very good at making dumplings. It was the first time for Qi Qige to make dumplings. She was curious about everything and had to be taught by Qin Zhao step by step. The dumplings she made were so ugly that she didn't even realize it.
As soon as the hot water boiled, the dumplings made by Qi Qige broke the skin. An anxious Qi Qige shouted to Qin Zhao to stir slowly, stir slowly.
After the dumplings came out of the pot, Qi Qige couldn't put it down with his few remaining dumplings.
Seeing how strange he was, Cao Xi wanted him to draw a picture as a souvenir, but she didn't dare to say it because she was really afraid that stupid Qi would start painting regardless of time.
There were three plates of dumplings, but his was too ugly to look at. Cao Xi cut another plate of braised pork, mixed it with a cold dish, and fried two green vegetables.
After breakfast, the three of them gathered together and played playing cards made by Cao Xi.
"This thing is good" Qiqige learned how to play and developed a strong interest in poker.
"I plan to make hundreds of copies of your painting and sell them in the shop."
Qi Qige has a pair of eyes that can spot business opportunities, and this year has been well worth it.
Cao Xi: "Okay, I'll give you this as a New Year's gift."
"Wow, Cao Xi is better." His exaggerated expression made Cao Xi laugh.
After playing cards and chatting for a while, we didn't start cooking dinner until the afternoon.
Qi Qige had never cooked since she was a child, so she was so busy that she was sweating all over.
After dinner, Qi Qige was about to leave. Qin Zhao asked him to watch the New Year together, but he refused to agree, and finally returned to Runxiang Garden alone.
Before leaving, Cao Xi also brought him some braised pork and frozen dumplings, fearing that he would have no one to cook for him at night.
After Qi Qige left, the two of them lay on the bed bored. Qin Zhao took Cao Xi's hand and said, "Happy."
Cao Xi held hands with him and said, "I think you will be happy as long as the Chinese New Year is celebrated."
"This year is different from before." After saying this, he looked at Cao Xi affectionately, with an expression that you know.
It made Cao Xi blush. Ever since they got married, Qin Zhao had started to let himself go, and he was no longer shy and timid like before.
As for staying up late, Cao Xi couldn't do it. As soon as the firecrackers were set off, she began to doze off, nodding like garlic.
Qin Zhao couldn't bear to let her suffer this, so he could only let her sleep first. When he sat down, he undressed and hugged Cao Xi and fell asleep.
