The Male Wife

Pei Cheng took off his coat and hung it on the screen casually. When a slight cold wind blew, Pei Cheng flinched immediately, ignoring what he was struggling with just now, and immediately ran over and got into bed.

Jiang Linzhi took off his coat slowly, and then blew out one of the two lamps in the back room, and then walked to the bed by the tiny candlelight in the room.

Pei Cheng slept uncomfortably on the inside of the bed, leaving a large open space for Jiang Linzhi. He looked at Jiang Linzhi who hadn't gone to bed, thought it over, and said, "It's getting late, it's time to rest. caught."

Jiang Linzhi looked at Pei Cheng with a half-smile, then lifted the quilt and lay down.

It may be because of his poor health, so Jiang Linzhi's body temperature is a little lower than that of ordinary people, which is fine in summer, but in the cold weather with snowflakes flying outside, Pei Cheng couldn't help shivering.

He suddenly regretted agreeing to stay and lie in the same bed with Jiang Linzhi—he always felt that he was lying on the same bed with a big ice cube now, and he couldn't feel the warmth of the bed.

Pei Cheng closed his eyes a little irritatedly, thinking that he might as well go back to sleep, at least he could have a good sleep.

Jiang Linzhi looked at Pei Cheng's small movements of relying on himself to get farther and farther unconsciously, his eyes darkened, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed Pei Cheng's arm, his tone was colder than the cold wind and heavy snow outside, "Again In the past, you will be leaning against the wall, can you sleep without a quilt?"

Pei Cheng opened his eyes, a little helpless, and said euphemistically: "Second Master, you are too cold, I can't sleep if you get too close."

Jiang Linzhi let go, turned around, and took the initiative to lean towards the outside, leaving the middle position for Pei Cheng.

Pei Cheng regretted his quick talk, but he couldn't hold back his face to apologize to Jiang Rinzhi. He leaned closer to the middle with his lips pursed, and said, "Second Lord, go to sleep."

Jiang Linzhi didn't speak, Pei Cheng waited for a while, seeing that he still didn't respond, sighed, turned his back to the man, and fell asleep after a while.

The candles in the house became smaller and smaller, and finally went out completely.

The house was plunged into darkness.

Pei Cheng, who was curled into a ball because of the cold wind in the bed, was talking unconsciously in his sleep.

Jiang Linzhi turned around and looked Pei Cheng's back up and down in the dark. After a long time, a slight sigh came from the room.

Not long after, Pei Cheng in his sleep seemed to be tightly trapped by a warm embrace. Because it was too cold, not only did Pei Cheng not feel uncomfortable, but he sighed comfortably and curled up into a ball. The body also slowly stretched out.

However, the hand holding Pei Cheng in the dark tightened in vain because of the relaxation movements that Pei Cheng relied on, and his breath could not be calm for a long time.

The next day.

Pei Cheng slept for a long time this time, when he got up, the sky outside the house was already white, and Jiang Linzhi, who was lying beside him, woke up at some point, and there was only Pei Cheng in the room.

The bed was warm, Pei Cheng yawned, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and his mood was greatly satisfied—this was the first time he woke up with warm hands and feet after winter.

Lifting off the quilt, Pei Cheng picked up the coats placed by the bed, and put them on one by one.

After getting dressed, Pei Cheng opened the bead curtain in the back room and walked out. Jiang Yanzhi was sitting on the chair eagerly looking at him, his heart softened, and he walked over to pick up the little guy.

"Why did you get up so early today?

Jiang Yanzhi stretched out his hands, hugged Pei Cheng's neck tightly, and said in a childish voice, "It's Daddy who got up late."

"Huh?" Pei Cheng didn't take the little guy's dissatisfaction to heart, and continued, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Jiang Yanzhi shook his head and said fawningly, "I'm waiting for Daddy to be with me."

Dong Lai, who had heard the sound coming from the house a long time ago, came in with a tray. Dong Lai walked in a strange posture, and had a forced smile on his face. Dong Lai placed the tray on the round table and said, "Madam, Yanzhi young master, the second master just went out, you two take it easy."

Sitting down, Pei Cheng was sensitively aware of Donglai's strange walking posture, he put down the chopsticks he was already holding, looked at Donglai suspiciously, and said, "Are you... being punished by the second master? "

"Five boards, don't get in the way." Dong Lai scratched his face shyly, looking at Pei Cheng with joy in his eyes, Dong Lai thought of something later, waved his hands quickly, and said, "This is because the slave If you do something wrong, otherwise the second master will not punish the slave, Madam don't have to take the slave's matter to heart, it will ruin the slave."

Pei Cheng hummed, but didn't continue to ask.

Dong Lai breathed a sigh of relief secretly, thinking that if Pei Cheng continued to question, he really didn't know how to explain to Pei Cheng why he was beaten.

Two servants carrying hot porridge came in, and they successively placed the hot porridge and side dishes on the table.

Pei Cheng usually doesn't drink porridge for breakfast, he likes noodles, so he didn't even look at the hot porridge brought in, he just picked up the hot noodles brought in from Donglai just now, stirred them a few times with chopsticks, waited for the sauce After mixing everything evenly, he blew on it, then picked up a piece of beef inside, and put it in Jiang Yanzhi's bowl.

Jiang Yanzhi, who was eating noodles with his head down, was startled, then raised his head, and smiled foolishly with Pei Cheng while biting a piece of noodles.

Pei Cheng also laughed, nodded his head with his hand, and said, "If you don't like noodles, just drink porridge. You don't have to come with me."

Jiang Yanzhi doesn't like noodles, he doesn't like noodles, but Pei Cheng likes them, so he always eats noodles with him every time.

Pei Cheng couldn't tell what a child liked or didn't like, but after he said it a few times, seeing Jiang Yan knew whether he would change it or not, he gradually didn't bother to say it, but sometimes he could know it for Jiang Yan. And eat something else.

Jiang Yanzhi's face, which was originally still bright in spring, immediately shrank, and he couldn't even laugh. He let out a cry, but he still held the chopsticks firmly in his hand, and struggled to pick up a few noodles, tightened his mouth, and bit Break, swallow.

Seeing this, Pei Cheng just couldn't laugh or cry.

It was interesting for Dong Lai to watch from the sidelines, he had never seen a child so clinging to an adult, especially a child from a wealthy family who was watching with relish, Dong Lai suddenly felt a cold gaze fixed on him, His scalp went numb, and he followed this line of sight reflexively.

Jiang Yanzhi looked at him coldly.

Dong Lai swallowed, for some reason, he always felt that Jiang Yanzhi looked like Jiang Erye when he was angry, and it was also chilling.

Jiang Yanzhi didn't say anything in front of Pei Cheng, but he looked at Donglai with warning in his eyes.

Only then did Dong Lai heave a sigh of relief, his little heart, which was so frightened and almost jumped out, was finally safe.

After dinner, Pei Cheng will take Jiang Yanzhi back to their yard.

Donglai coughed dryly, walked to Pei Cheng's side, and reminded: "Ma'am, the second master told me before leaving that tonight is New Year's Eve, and the family should spend it together."

Pei Cheng frowned in confusion, what does this mean?

Seeing that Pei Cheng's face was a bit ugly, Dong Lai retreated out empathetically, leaving room for Pei Cheng and Jiang Yanzhi.

Pei Cheng ate noodles every mouthful. He didn't have a big appetite and could only eat more than one bowl of noodles. But today, because he was thinking about something, he unknowingly ate two bowls of noodles.

Jiang Yanzhi was already full and had already put down the bowls and chopsticks.

Pei Cheng frowned, rubbed his swollen stomach, and said, "Go out for a walk, today I'll let you play in the snow." Jiang Yanzhi, who was always interested in the snowflakes covering hills outside, hesitated for a moment , shook his head, jumped off the chair cautiously, hugged the foil with both hands and hurried to his waist, slowly but firmly shook his head again, and said, "I don't want it."

Pei Cheng was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. He pulled the little guy up and put on thick coats and capes for both of them. Then he took his hand and said, "It's okay if you don't play, go out and walk around." Go ahead, stay indoors when you are full and you will accumulate food, which is not good for your health.”

With a stern face, Jiang Yanzhi walked out reluctantly.

Beiyuan, Uncle Jiang's study.

Uncle Jiang nodded, "But I hope you can keep this matter a secret. If Xiyuan finds out, this matter will inevitably not become a big deal."

"kindness."

Uncle Jiang said: "Go back first, I will take care of this matter, I just hope you won't regret it then."

Jiang Linzhi glanced at Uncle Jiang indifferently, with imperceptible sarcasm and disgust in his eyes, he got up and left.

Uncle Jiang stared at Jiang Linzhi's back, pulled the corner of his mouth into a shallow arc, his eyes were full of indifference.

Jiang Linzhi went back along the path, followed by two servants. After walking for a short time, his footsteps stopped, and he looked coldly at the person in front of him, Third Master Jiang.

Third Master Jiang was also taken aback for a moment, and then he realized, "Second Brother, are you also here to find Big Brother?"

Jiang Linzhi tilted his head and whispered to his servants, "Go back first."

The servants looked at each other and left quickly.

When Jiang Sanye saw this, he was not in a hurry to leave. He knew that Jiang Linzhi should have something to tell him alone.

"In the next year, I will take Pei Cheng and leave Jiang's house." Jiang Linzhi folded his hands behind his back, his eyes were deep, with a trace of killing intent that was not easy to detect, "So, people from Jiang's family should stop disturbing us in the future."

Jiang Sanye's face turned pale, he heard the warning and threat in Jiang Lin's words.

"Second brother, I understand." Jiang Sanye quickly recovered, with no abnormal expression on his face, "Second brother, don't worry."

Jiang Linzhi sneered, as if he was laughing at Jiang Sanye's overconfidence in some aspects, "I hope it is true."

Jiang Sanye lowered his eyes and said, "I still have something to ask my elder brother, my younger brother will go first."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Sanye turned sideways and passed Jiang Linzhi.

After walking a few steps, Third Master Jiang seemed to vaguely feel that he heard Jiang Linzhi's sneer behind him again, he paused, and immediately stepped forward again.

Jiang Linzhi looked at Sanye Jiang's hastily leaving footsteps, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, then he turned and left, walking towards the East Courtyard.

Xiyuan.

Hu Xiayun went to see the old lady in a red dress, and when she mentioned the matter of the separation, the old lady poured hot tea all over her body, and immediately screamed, and her screams resounded throughout Xiyuan.

The old lady frowned, "It's so noisy."

One sentence made Hu Xiayun, who was silent even though he was scalded to death, shut his mouth instantly.

Standing aside, Qiuyi, who was holding a tray, was made uncomfortable by Hu Xiayun's screaming and glaring eyes.

One by one, the hot tea that the old lady splashed on Hu Xiayun was the hot tea that Qiu Yi had just brought in.

This Hu Xiayun didn't dare to curse and glare at the old lady face to face, so she could only vent her anger on Qiuyi.
