Chapter 44(1/2)
When Chu Wanying returned to the house, the man was undressing and getting ready to go to bed.
Seeing this scene, she immediately forgot what happened between Mrs. Zhou and her granddaughter.
Now, there is a more difficult matter.
Zhou Xiaorong's room can only accommodate a bed and a wooden table. The area of the room is quite small, and it would be difficult for her to lay a quilt on the floor.
You can't sleep on the table!
So on balance, the two of them can only sleep on the same bed.
Rong Zhan took off his coat and consciously slept on the outside. There was a large space next to him, which was enough for the two Chu Wanying to sleep.
She licked her lips, slowly took off her shoes, then quickly crawled from the man's feet to his back, wrapped herself in the quilt and shrank directly behind her, as if no strangers were allowed to enter.
The man's back was turned to her, and the light in the room was dim, so she couldn't see his expression.
It wasn't until she heard the sound of even breathing that she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't blame her for thinking too much, it's just that she has never had such an experience.
Even when she lived in the orphanage, she always slept in a bed by herself and never shared a bed with anyone else.
The dean had a lot of headaches because of her problem, and the bed space was already tight, so he had to prepare a small bed for her. From then on, he inevitably felt resentful towards her.
In addition, she had an unpleasant personality and was very withdrawn. She could not speak at all, so being bullied in the courtyard became a common occurrence.
Thinking of past experiences, Chu Wanying sighed lightly.
Since the end of the world, she has not thought of these things for a long time.
After thinking about it, she fell asleep at some point.
When the man heard the girl's even breathing behind him, he turned around and looked at the girl's peaceful and sweet sleep, feeling a little crazy for a moment.
He was the one who lost his composure today. He felt that he was a little too nervous.
He thought to himself that he was so nervous because he really regarded Chu Wanying as his sister. He was afraid that she would be bullied by others, even though he knew that Li Che's thoughts were with Qi Yun. When he saw the girl with him, he felt
It's still a bit awkward.
He just thought that this was an elder brother's concern for his younger sister and didn't think anything of it.
He rubbed his temples, looked at the beams, and laughed.

The next day, Chu Wanying woke up from the cold.
There was obviously a foreign object under his body. It was so hard that he frowned and raised his hand to feel around.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand touched the man's warm chest, Chu Wanying was so frightened that she immediately opened her eyes, raised her eyes, and met the man's charming peach blossom eyes. Beautiful.
Rong Zhan seemed to have just woken up, with a hint of sleep in the corners of his eyes and brows. After being awakened by the girl's restless hands, he frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
He even asked her what was wrong!
Chu Wanying pointed at him and said, "You! You!"
She originally wanted to say you are a gangster, but then she thought it was wrong.
I looked around and saw that the man was still sleeping peacefully outside, but I shamelessly ran into the man's bed.
Her face turned red and she didn't know what to say for a moment, but her instinct told her that she must not admit defeat because of her momentum!
She complained first, "Why are you lying with me?"
"Are you sure it wasn't you who took the initiative?" The man raised his eyebrows at her with amusement in his eyes.
"If I remember correctly, you came to me by yourself last night. I originally wanted to push you away, but you kept shouting "It's so cold", and I couldn't bear it, so..."
"Whatever!" Chu Wanying was so nervous that her little face suddenly turned pale. Does this person have to speak in such an appetizing way?
"You should speak quickly!" The man obviously paused here on purpose, obviously teasing her!
Chu Wan punched the man in the chest angrily, "Rong Zhan, you pervert! Even if I came over on my own initiative, you could just push me away! You have ulterior motives and have other plans!"
Rong Zhan was hit really hard by her punch. He frowned and coughed a few times, "Ahem, you are murdering your husband."
After saying that, both of them were stunned.
Rong Zhan was the first to recover and cleared his throat, "Don't get me wrong, you really took the initiative to come here last night. It's just that I was drunk and confused for a moment, so I didn't push you away."
Of course he wasn't telling the truth.
In fact, the quilt the girl covered last night was too thin. When he was about to change his quilt with hers, the girl turned over and threw herself into his arms.
His eyes darkened, and when he was about to push her away, he suddenly heard the girl murmuring to herself.
Feeling pity in my heart, I couldn't bear to push her away.
Chu Wanying didn't know how true or false his words were, but it was useless to ask these questions now.
He hurriedly put on his coat, jumped from the bed to the floor, and rushed out the door.
Rong Zhan looked at her running back, shook his head and smiled.
In the morning, the two had a simple breakfast at Zhou Po's place. Before leaving, Zhou Po checked Chu Wanying's pulse and made sure that she was in good health. Being able to speak must be a blessing from God, so she should cherish this gift.
Chu Wanying naturally understood, took back her wrist, turned around and saw the man putting a money bag into a wooden box on the table.
Rong Zhan said, "Let this room be left to us from now on! This is one month's room fee, please keep it well."
Mrs. Zhou did not shirk, she picked up the money bag and put it in her arms. She said lightly, "Okay, you can live in it by yourself from now on. I don't have a lock in this house. You can get one by yourself."
After leaving Zhou's mother-in-law's house, Chu Wanying looked at the man next to her with a cheerful face and asked suspiciously, "Did you come to Zhou's mother-in-law's house on purpose yesterday?"
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that I met Zhou Xiaorong returning home?
Rong Zhan smiled but said nothing.
Granny Zhou lives in poverty but is stubborn and arrogant. If he blatantly gave her money, she would not accept it. Now that he has used this excuse to live with her, she will not refuse.
It's just that meeting Zhou Xiaorong yesterday was indeed a coincidence, otherwise he would have completely forgotten about this person.
He vaguely remembered that after Zhou Xiaorong left home, she went to Yanliu Alley to engage in illegal business, and later said that a man redeemed her body.
Since then, no more news has been heard about her.
When Chu Wanying saw that he didn't talk to him, she felt bored for a moment and stopped talking.
It wasn't until he passed by Tailor Feng's house that he said, "I'm going to pick up something from Tailor Feng's house. You go to the store first!"
After the man walked away, she quietly took out the wooden cart from the space and pushed the cart into the yard of Tailor Feng's house.
Aunt Feng saw her coming and hurriedly welcomed her into the house. After the two chatted for a while, Tailor Feng packed the items and put them on the cart.
"Girl, I heard that Old Rongtou said that you and Rong Zhan are going to have a wedding reception in a few days. You have to prepare well for this big day! But I see that you two don't seem to have any intention of making preparations, but you are all focused on it.
It’s about doing business.”
"Girl, don't be disinclined to listen to what my aunt has to say. I advise you, a woman, not to be in the public eye all the time. Otherwise, your reputation will not be good after all."
Aunt Feng was talking nonchalantly to the side, while Chu Wanying only focused on the finished clothes.
The workmanship is good, and the ancient women's prostitute skills were indeed excellent.
Looking at the delicate patterns on her hands, she secretly admired them and asked, "Who embroidered this pattern?"
Aunt Feng was suddenly interrupted by her chattering, and she was not angry. She glanced at the thing in her hand and said with a smile, "This! It was embroidered by the third child of the Xing family. Despite her young age, her craftsmanship is quite good!
"
Hearing this, Chu Wanying was stunned.
"Are you talking about Xing Fangfang?"
"Exactly, don't they live next door to your house?"
Chu Wanying squeezed the fabric in her hand and her eyes darkened. She actually forgot to talk to the man about the account books yesterday.
I wonder if Xing Fangfang is also engaged in that kind of business like her two sisters...
Her thoughts were disturbed for a moment, so she packed up the package, turned around and thanked them, then pushed the wooden cart and left.
——————
As soon as Rong Zhanfu entered the shop, he was warmly invited by Li Xiaolian to sit down in the back room.
I flipped through the account book and checked the income of the past two days.
Maybe he was too serious and didn't pay attention for a moment. When he raised his eyes, he saw Li Xiaolian looking at him and smiling.
A hint of unhappiness suddenly welled up in my heart.
He was very familiar with this expression. He put the account book back in the drawer with a sinister expression, raised his eyes and said to her, "How long have you been working here."
The first time a man took the initiative to ask, Li Xiaolian blushed and became at a loss. She clenched the corners of her clothes with her fingers and timidly said, "It will be exactly four months until the end of this month."
"It hasn't been long. Do you think business is any different these days than usual?" Rong Zhan asked normally, but Li Xiaolian's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that he noticed something? She thought anxiously.
Li Xiaolian put the tea aside and said calmly, "It's no different. There are still as few guests as usual."
