172. The sixth rib
By two o'clock in the morning, my body didn't have much strength, just lazily lying on the bed a little drowsy, Mu Jingchi hugged me from above, we both went without shelter, almost unreservedly fit each other, his face was next to my neck, his fingers were caressing the skin of my shoulder and neck, his fingers were slightly cold, I don't know why, it always made me have the illusion of wanting to tremble.
He still deliberately kissed my skin, but he knew that I was a little tired, and he didn't make any more movements, just hugged my body tightly, and the method was to inlay into his flesh and bones, I felt a little pain, but I really didn't have the strength to struggle, and I just wanted to lie in bed and sleep at this time.
Mu Jingchi was not as good as I wanted, occasionally pinching my face, my nose, I was annoyed by him, the whole person drilled into the pillow, forbidding him to touch it again, Mu Jingchi chuckled at my shoulder and neck, he asked in a low voice: "Kitten, why don't you call, huh?" ”
I was slightly angry and said, "I want to sleep." ”
Then I tried to push him away who was pressing on me, but after pushing him several times, I couldn't push it away, and I gave up, just lying there staring at him with wide eyes, and he also looked at me with a smile, and stroked my cheek with his fingers and said, "Are you sleepy?" ”
I nodded vigorously and said in a sticky voice, "I'm so sleepy, so sleepy." I simply hugged him and said, "Let people want to sleep." ”
Mu Jingchi didn't agree, just stared at me for a long time, he saw that I was really sleepy and couldn't open my eyes, so he didn't continue to tease me, picked me up from the bed, and then turned me over, I was held in his arms, no longer he pressed me.
He put his hand on the back of my head, kissed me on the tip of the nose and said, "Sleep." Then he pulled the quilt up on us.
The house was quiet, so quiet that I could hear the sound of water dripping down the bluestone on the eaves outside, and I really didn't have the strength to think about anything more, so I fell asleep in a daze when I was held in his arms.
When the last bit of consciousness was about to be swallowed up by the darkness, I heard Mu Jingchi ask in my ear: "Do you really want to have a good time with me, ......?"
He ruffled the hair around my ear, and I heard him sigh softly, and then the endless darkness engulfed me.
When I woke up the next morning, Mu Jingchi didn't get up too early this time, he was still in bed, my whole body was in his arms, the clothes on my body had been changed, no longer the one last night, he was also wearing a dark blue silk plaid pajamas, the black hair was slightly messy, the person looked in a good mood, was leaning on the bed and flipping through the book, page by page, page by page, my ears were the crisp sound of paper.
In the early morning, the sun outside shone in, and I stared at him for a long time in his arms, and he looked at me, then stretched out his hand and twisted the tip of my nose and asked, "What, haven't woken up yet?" ”
I rubbed his chest and said, "Still a little sleepy." ”
I got into his arms thoroughly, and some domineering prevented him from reading, Mu Jingchi chuckled and slowly pulled my hair away from the book and said, "It's already ten o'clock, I can't lie in bed anymore." ”
Sure enough, as soon as he finished saying this, there was a knock on the door outside, and Chun'er's voice came outside, urging outside: "Auntie, it's time for Mr. to get up." ”
Mu Jingchi lowered his eyes and glanced at me who was lying in his arms and said, "Look, I'm not wrong." ”
I didn't speak, or even pretended not to hear, but still lay on him like a puddle of mud, and he closed the book in his hand, and said with a low smile: "If you let the maids and women outside see your appearance, it will make people laugh." He twisted my nose with his hand, took me out of his arms, and after putting on all the clothes for me, he covered me with the quilt, and then whispered to the door: "Come in." ”
Then he walked down from the bed, Chun'er and Ruping pushed the door in, followed by a mother-in-law, who was holding a bowl of medicine in her hand, at first I thought it was for Mu Jingchi to drink, who knew that the mother-in-law actually walked straight to my side, and said with a smile: "Auntie, get up and wash up, drink this bowl of medicine while it's hot." ”
Mu Jingchi, who was washing his hands in the basin, heard the words of his mother-in-law, so he turned his head and asked, "Medicine, what medicine." ”
Obviously, even he didn't know what kind of medicine it was, and the mother-in-law hurriedly smiled at him and said, "Mr. Hui, this is what Sister-in-law Gui asked us to serve, saying that it was drunk, and it was blessed with many children." ”
When Mu Jingchi heard this, he just chuckled, didn't speak again, took the clean towel handed by the maid casually, wiped his hands there, and didn't care about us anymore.
I didn't expect Sister-in-law Gui to suddenly bring such a bowl of medicine, I didn't bother to move when I was lying there, I didn't even speak, I just squinted my eyes there.
The mother-in-law waited for a while, and when she saw that I didn't move at all, she whispered and said, "Auntie, have you slept again?" Hurry up, otherwise the medicine will be cold and the effect will be halved. ”
At this time, Mu Jingchi, who was already dressing in front of the mirror, seemed to be unable to stand it, and said to the woman: "Who is looking for this recipe to open." ”
The mother-in-law hurriedly replied, "It's Sister-in-law Gui who specially invited the doctor at home." ”
Mu Jingchi straightened his sleeves and asked, "Which doctor?" ”
The woman said, "It's Dr. Zhou." ”
Mu Jingchi said with a smile: "Doctor Zhou's medical skills are not bad, but the medicine on an empty stomach in the morning hurts the stomach, so let's take it first." ”
The mother-in-law didn't do what Mu Jingchi said, but whispered: "Sir, Doctor Zhou has told me, you must get up in the morning and drink on an empty stomach, otherwise it will be useless, Sister-in-law Gui has asked Doctor Zhou, saying that these medicines have a mild temperament, do not hurt the body, and even have the effect of replenishing qi." The mother-in-law said, "And my aunt has been married for a while, and twenty years old is the age of good birth, but you have to hurry up." ”
Mu Jingchi didn't even refute the woman's words, about this bowl of medicine, he also wanted me to drink it, although he didn't say anything.
The woman stared at me again, as if she would not leave if I did not drink it, and I was a little annoyed by their staring, so I could only turn over and sit up from the bed in order to sleep a little longer, take it from the woman's hand, and drink the bowl of medicine in one go.
When I had finished drinking, I immediately shoved the bowl into the woman's hand, then poured it back into the bed and said, "Why should I drink alone, can I conceive a child alone?" Why don't you give him a drink. ”
I pointed at Mu Jingchi.
The woman looked at it, stunned for a few seconds, as if she remembered something, she smiled and said, "There really is, but Mr. is downstairs, and he can only drink it after breakfast." ”
I said, "No, he has to drink it now." ”
Mu Jingchi naturally knew that I was thinking about him, and he was forced to drink medicine, so he had to pull a cushion.
That mother-in-law was a little embarrassed by me, and she didn't know what to do, after all, she could force me to drink medicine, but she naturally didn't have the courage to force Mu Jingchi to drink medicine.
Mu Jingchi saw my indignation, after he got dressed, he walked over to me, he sat down on the edge of my bed, and then pinched my face with his hand and said, "Little thing, this is dragging me into the water, huh?" ”
I don't deny it, I just say, "That's fair." ”
When Mu Jingchi saw that I refused to give up, he no longer argued with me, but said to the mother-in-law standing there, "In that case, bring the medicine." ”
The mother-in-law didn't expect Mu Jingchi to agree with a good temper, she looked at me a little incredulously, but seeing that Mu Jingchi's eyes all fell on me, his eyes were full of loving smiles, knowing that he was coaxing me, he covered his mouth and snickered a few times, slowly retreated from the room, and soon brought the bowl of medicine up, and after bringing it to Mu Jingchi, he didn't frown or frown, so he drank the bowl of medicine in one go.
When he had finished drinking, he placed the bowl on the tray in the maid's hand and asked, "How is it, this should always be satisfied, right?" ”
Seeing that he had finished drinking, I said, "That's pretty much it." ”
Mu Jingchi saw that I was still lying on the bed and refused to get up, so he patted my face with his hand and said, "You are not allowed to lie in bed, get up and change your clothes." After saying that, he walked out of the room, and the maid followed him, leaving Chun'er and Ruping there to wait for me to wash.
Chun'er's face was flushed, she looked at me and said: "Miss, I, I know, as long as you let go of your temper a little, Mr. is the most spoiled by you, this huge Mu family, who dares to mess with Mr. so unreasonable, only you, you look at the way he looks at you in the morning, the meaning of mercy will be snatched out of his eyes, no matter how you hide it." ”
Ruping also nodded vigorously and said: "If Miss doesn't quarrel with Mr., Mr. really has nothing to say to Miss, how gentle and gentle you are, you are messing around, he will accompany you to mess around, this is not like the usual gentleman." ”
I didn't bother to pay attention to the maids' words, but I just lay on the bed for more than ten minutes, and finally the maids downstairs came up to urge again, saying that Mu Jingchi asked me if I was up, so I reluctantly got off the bed, and after Chun'er and Ruping washed, dressed, and went downstairs.
I thought that Mu Jing would finish breakfast and go to the study to deal with things first, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I found that he didn't go to the study, and the table was full of a lot of food, and he didn't move, obviously sitting there waiting for me to go downstairs, I can't remember how long I haven't had breakfast with him in such an environment, he sat there flipping through the newspaper, waiting for my posture, the same as a few years ago, there was no change, but it made me a little like a world away, I stood there and looked at him in a daze.
Mu Jingchi saw me standing there stupidly, he put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "What's the matter, stupid? ”
Hearing his words, I reacted, walked over to him with a smile, sat down in front of him and asked, "Don't you rush to deal with business today?" ”
Mu Jingchi put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "When you get up, I have been waiting for you for half an hour, and I can't handle anything at noon." ”
I said, "I didn't ask you to wait for me. ”
I picked up the milk on the table and drank it vigorously, Mu Jingchi saw that I was in pain like this, and he asked, "Is the milk so unpalatable?" ”
I hurriedly put the cup down and said to Mu Jingchi, of course, it was unpleasant! Don't you think there's a smell of cows in it? It's no different from amniotic fluid. ”
Mu Jingchi glared at me and said, "Those who have a long body must drink." ”
I don't know why, when I heard his words, I snorted and almost laughed, but I immediately covered my lips to prevent the milk that remained in my mouth from squirting.
When Mu Jingchi saw me like this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What, is there a problem?" ”
I covered my lips and immediately shook my head and said, "No problem, no problem, but I'm twenty years old, where will I grow a person?" ”
Mu Jingchi said softly: "It is estimated that it will not be long next year." He put some bacon in my bowl and said, "Don't you notice that you've grown two centimeters more this year?" ”
"What?" I didn't believe it, and I never paid attention to it, since I was eighteen, I basically decided that my height was like that, and I never thought that I would grow after eighteen.
I don't believe Mu Jingchi's words, I haven't even measured, how did he know that I have grown two centimeters taller this year, so I didn't even eat, so I asked the servant to bring a ruler for me, and I stood on the wall, and the servants began to measure, and after measuring, the servant reported me a number, exactly one meter six.
I didn't believe it, so I asked the servant to measure me again, and asked the servant to make a mark, and when the servant took the ruler down, I looked at it again, and it was really no more, no less than one meter six.
Mu Jingchi sat down and chuckled, I felt a little unconvinced, so I walked over to him and asked, "How do you know that I have grown two centimeters?" How can you tell? ”
He smiled and said, "I measured it last night." ”
I said, "How do you measure it?" ”
He suddenly beckoned to me and said, "Come here." ”
I sat there still, and I always felt that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, with a hint of evil.
Mu Jingchi said again: "Come here." I hesitated for a few seconds, but finally walked over to him, and when I reached him, he whispered in my ear, "When I was holding in my arms last night, I found someone's head above the sixth rib in my chest." ”
I didn't expect to be able to do this, so I looked up at him again and asked, "What about me?" ”
Mu Jingchi smiled and said, "Last year was under my fifth root. ”
I thought it was amazing and asked, "Really?" Then without waiting for Mu Jingchi to react, he stood up with him, stretched out his hand to pick up his clothes, and the maids next to him let out an exclamation, Mu Jingchi grabbed my messy hand and said, "What are you messing with." ”
I said, "I don't believe it, I'm going to see for myself." ”
Mu Jingchi glared at me and said, "I'll finish the meal first, and I'll show you when I go back to the room." ”
I dragged him and said, "No, I'm going to watch it now." But after saying that, I remembered that there were indeed a lot of servants standing around, so I thought about it and said, "Then you touch me twice, and I will count them, and when I finish counting, I will not make trouble." ”
The maid next to her covered her lips and laughed secretly, and I didn't care whether Mu Jingchi agreed or not, so I stretched out my hand and touched his ribs on his chest through his clothes.
When he touched the fourth root, Mu Jingchi whispered: "Wrong, I missed one." ”
I hurriedly moved down again, Mu Jingchi saw that I couldn't figure out the position for a long time, he held my hand helplessly, and counted up little by little on his chest, when he counted the sixth, he put my head into his arms, my head was really just a little above his sixth rib, and just heard the sound of his heart beating, I felt extremely magical, raised my eyes to look at him, and quickly put my head on his chest to listen to his heartbeat.
Just when neither of us spoke, at this time, Wang Zhizhi suddenly said at the door of the restaurant: "Jing Chi." She smiled and was about to say something, but as soon as she looked up, she saw that I was wrapping my hands around Mu Jingchi, resting my head on his chest, looking at him with a smile on my face, as if I was coquettish, and my movements were extremely intimate.
Wang Zhizhi smiled on his face, and then his words stopped.
When the maid in the restaurant saw Wang Zhizhi coming, she hurriedly lowered her head and called, "Madam." Wang Zhizhi stood there and looked at me and Mu Jingchi for a long time, but the expression on her face converged quickly, and then, she continued to walk in and said with a smile: "I wanted to go upstairs to find you, but the maid said that you were not there, and you were still eating in the restaurant downstairs, so I thought that it must be Qingye's sister who is lying in bed, and you are also accompanying you, so it is so late." ”
Wang Zhizhi's sudden arrival made Mu Jingchi pat my head twice, and then he let go of me and straightened my clothes, turned to Wang Zhizhi and asked, "Have you had breakfast?" ”
Wang Zhizhi said with a smile: "I have used it for a long time, and I have also fed Feng'er and Yuan Xu's rice." ”
Mu Jingchi sat back on the chair and said, "Didn't you say it, there are servants and mothers-in-law at home, just leave this kind of thing to the mother-in-law to do, why do it yourself." ”
Wang Zhizhi said: "It's different, I always don't worry about the maid and the mother-in-law, how many things are sick from the mouth, so I naturally have to be careful when eating." ”
After Wang Zhizhi finished speaking, he looked at me, who was also sitting at the dining table, and asked with a smile: "Qingye, did you sleep well last night?" ”
When she asked about it, I had to laugh quietly and say, "It's okay, I've always slept well." ”
Wang Zhizhi said: "I heard my mother-in-law say that you didn't get up until ten o'clock just now, so it can be seen that you were tired of serving Jingshi late last night." ”
I smiled and didn't speak, she thought about it and asked Mu Jingchi: "Yesterday you mentioned Yuan Xu's matter to me, I thought about it at night, I naturally listened to Jingchi's arrangement, now the two children, I am indeed a little busy, if Qingye is interested in Yuan Xu, then I will pass the child to her." ”
Mu Jingchi looked at me and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Obviously, Wang Zhizhi attaches great importance to Yuan Xu, although she said so, but in her heart she may not be willing to hand over Yuan Xu to me, at this time, I naturally will not win people's love, so I shook my head at Mu Jingchi and said: "I can't take care of myself, as for the child, I think it's better to forget it." ”
Mu Jingchi said: "Don't you like children. ”
I looked at him with a smile and said, "It's one thing to like it, but it's another thing to take care of children, and I may not be as good as my sister." ”
