Chapter 17: Jade Beads
After Gu Xin finished washing his feet, he poured water into the vegetable garden, then said to Gu Shouxin and went back to the house to sleep.
The Gu family has a total of three oil lamps, one in the parents' room, one in the sister's room, and one in the kitchen.
Nested in the quilt, Gu Xin felt very hot, and he didn't know if it was because of the addition of a quilt or the soaking of his feet.
Either way, it was given to her by her father.
She hadn't forgotten the jade beads that the jade fish spit out just now, and she was in the bed at this moment, and she wasn't afraid that someone would suddenly appear.
Gu Xin was lying on his stomach, with one hand on his chin, and the other hand on his head, and then said softly: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, you spit out a jade bead just now!" If so, you can spit out another one for me! β
Although she couldn't see clearly, she could feel that there was really another jade bead in her hand.
She took her hand and pinched it with her thumb and forefinger, it was soft and elastic.
So I was right! I just don't know what this jade bead is used for.
Gu Xin was thinking about it like this, and fell asleep after a while.
After a tiring day during the day, plus adding a quilt to soak his feet tonight, the heat is warm, and Gu Xin falls asleep faster than before.
She was lying on her stomach, so she didn't know that not long after she fell asleep, the corners of her mouth were next to the jade beads, and then the jade beads touched the saliva at the corners of her mouth and slowly melted away.
Gu Xin dreamed of something delicious, and couldn't help but take a sip, and most of the dissolved jade beads were sucked by her.
At this time, neither Gu Shouxin nor Cai Xiaolian fell asleep.
Although they were covered with the same quilt, there was a fist of distance between them, and both of them were motionless, afraid that if they moved a little, they would touch each other.
After a long time, the two finally couldn't help talking.
"I ,......"
"You ,......"
Open your mouth at the same time, and shut up at the same time.
"You ,......"
"I ,......"
Speak again at the same time, and shut up at the same time.
Gu Shouxin felt a little embarrassed, the people he dealt with the most in his previous life were the mothers and grandmothers in the palace, but he didn't get so close to people.
Cai Xiaolian smiled at this scene: "Poof! β
After Cai Xiaolian finished laughing, she asked, "None of us are hiding from anyone, and we are not the original people." Tell me, where are you from? β
Gu Shouxin raised his eyebrows, yo, you actually want to set his words?
Seeing that Gu Shouxin didn't answer, Cai Xiaolian continued: "Don't say that you don't understand my words, I don't believe that Gu Shouxin was like this before. In the past, Gu Shouxin only loved himself, and he wouldn't take a second look at his wife and daughter at all. I wouldn't believe that one person can make such a big difference in three days. If you don't say it, then I won't say it either. Anyway, everyone is the same, it's a big deal, I don't mind. β
Gu Shouxin was silent for a while, and said, "Don't ask about the past, we will live a good life together in the future, are you willing?" If you don't want to, I won't force anyone else, child, I'll bring you up myself, and I'll let you go. β
Cai Xiaolian frowned, hey, it's a clichΓ©!
Although Cai Xiaolian doesn't want to stay here, where can she go if she leaves here?
This Great Zhou Dynasty is more tolerant of women and allows them to remarry, but all men in the world are the same, and it is impossible for her to jump from this pit into that pit.
She is a newcomer, and if she really wants to leave, she will either go back to her parents' house or leave by herself.
