Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Pretending to be a Married Couple

"You don’t have a choice, I make the decisions in this house."

"..."

"Don’t believe me, you can go ask the family."

"..."

Xiaoxiao didn’t care whether he agreed or not, because she was definitely going to do it. Otherwise, where would the money come from?

The winter nights are long and dark comes swiftly, and without any lights here, Xiaoxiao had to find her own entertainment every evening.

In modern times, due to constant use of computers and mobile phones, Xiaoxiao’s eyes became inflamed and hurt every day, eventually leading to nearsightedness. Now having traveled back and gained a pair of good eyes, she cherished them and only engaged in activities that didn’t strain her eyes.

Seeing that Yang Ming wasn’t leaving, she treated him as if he were air, climbed onto the kang bed, closed her eyes to rest, and started doing yoga.

At this point, Yang Ming watched as his wife climbed onto the kang and began performing those strange movements, finding it quite eerie.

He also felt that their cohabitation was awkward, so he went out to find some chores to do, first moving his belongings in and then tidying everything up.

When Xiaoxiao saw he was serious about the move, she became uneasy. It seemed that she would have to share a room with him today, sharing the kang and the pillows?

In fact, they had already slept on the same kang the previous night, but Xiaoxiao was too sick from vomiting and, after hearing that he had gone to the Academy, she had fallen asleep in a daze. But today was different—today she was wide awake, profoundly so.

Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped her movements, remembering she was pregnant. It would be wiser to do less yoga.

Yang Ming: "Where are you going?"

Xiaoxiao: "I’m going to heat the kang!"

Yang Ming: "Don’t move, I’ll do it."

Xiaoxiao: "..."

How come it felt like suddenly having an extra pair of hands for free labor!

Yang Ming got up and started heating the kang, boiling a large pot of water for washing.

He saw his wife use one basin to wash her face and then switch to another basin to wash her feet. When the wife took out a third basin, he said,

"Can you step out for a bit? I’ll call you back in after I’m done washing!"

"..." What’s with all these basins... In the end, Yang Ming still went out.

Xiaoxiao felt a bit helpless. What was she going to do from now on? She had just managed to get a big tub to bathe in every day, and now she had to go back to washing haphazardly? It was worrisome having someone who could show up in the room at any time.

Xiaoxiao washed quickly, then cleaned her underwear and hung it outside. Seeing Yang Ming standing guard at the door, she felt exasperated and had no choice but to call him back in.

After Yang Ming entered, he quickly finished his washing and, just like the night before, covered his quilt at the foot of the kang and lay down directly.

Looking at the set-up, Xiaoxiao felt relieved. She was at the head of the kang, and he was at the foot; there was still some distance between them.

Xiaoxiao thought it was necessary to talk to Yang Ming and tell him her thoughts.

"You don’t like me, right?"

"..."

"Do you have someone you like?"

"..."

"Then let’s just be a pretend couple!"

"..."

Xiaoxiao saw that Yang Ming was silent and continued:

"Don’t worry, once you find the person you like, I’ll leave!"

"..."

"I’ll take the child with me, and I won’t cause you any trouble at all."

"..."

A pretend couple? She would take the child and leave? He really didn’t like her after all, or had she actually fallen for his younger brother? Yang Ming lay there, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Meanwhile, Xiaoxiao also couldn’t sleep, thinking about how she hadn’t found a boyfriend in thirty years. Having finally been sent one by heaven, he still wasn’t hers. Was she going to end up lonely for the rest of her life?
