Chapter 19: Can Drinking Water Really Fill You Up? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Xiaonuan said to him, “Well, the ancients said that we shouldn’t eat food that cos from other people’s mouths.”
Ji Lingchen was speechless.
This little thing must have drunk a belly full of water, right? This made him angry. His original intention was to tease her, but he did not expect her to react like this. Ji Lingchen said, “I’ll put the muffin next to you. If you want to eat it, beg .”
Fang Xiaonuan was still full of water. She pulled her blanket over her head, wanting to go to sleep. However, she realized that Ji Lingchen was holding onto the blanket. With her sharp claws, she slapped the back of his hand a few tis, causing it to turn red. Then, she forcefully pulled the blanket away and covered herself with it, preparing to sleep.
This little girl was really hitting him with all her strength. Ji Lingchen looked at the red marks on the back of his hand and thought to himself, ‘Is she trying to murder her husband?’
He placed the food on the coffee table, got up and said, “I’m going to sleep. If you’re hungry, help yourself.” Ji Lingchen, who had always been arrogant, had beco a bit more humble with her. However, he did not notice that until he turned off the lights and went to sleep. He also did not realize that he had already begun to let his guard down with Fang Xiaonuan.
In the middle of the night, Fang Xiaonuan woke up a few tis because she drank too much water. Ji Lingchen only managed light sleep. Every ti she woke up, he could sense that Fang Xiaonuan was being very quiet. She did not want to wake him up, so she went to the bathroom without wearing her slippers.
Once again, after Fang Xiaonuan fell asleep, Ji Lingchen got up to see if she had eaten anything. In the end, he realized that this stubborn girl really did not eat the muffin. Would drinking water really fill her up?
Ji Lingchen looked at Fang Xiaonuan, who had fallen asleep again. She had kicked the blanket to the ground. Ji Lingchen looked at her, deep in thought. ‘If she was still here, she would be the sa age as you this year. You’re a sophomore this year... She would be a university student now, right?’
...
The next morning, Fang Xiaonuan’s ringtone woke the two of them up at the sa ti. Fang Xiaonuan struggled to get up from the sofa and took her clothes to the bathroom to change. Then, she crept into a small corner and pulled out her suitcase. She opened it on the ground, put her pajamas in, closed it, and locked it. Then, she placed the suitcase back in the small corner.
Her actions surprised Ji Lingchen once again. He suddenly rembered that the cloakroom was filled with his things, and there wasn’t a single thing of hers. Other than the cloakroom, there did not seem to be anything of hers in any corner of the room. Ji Lingchen’s gaze fell on the few suitcase in the corner. Could it be that all of her things were still inside?
Ji Lingchen asked, “Fang Xiaonuan, where did you put your clothes?”
......
Fang Xiaonuan pointed at the suitcase in the corner. “Don’t worry, I didn’t use your cloakroom and cabinet. They’re all in there.”
“Why not?” Ji Lingchen felt an inexplicable sense of loss. Fang Xiaonuan always made him feel like she was going to escape unscathed at any mont.
Fang Xiaonuan casually replied, “I don’t want to use them.”
After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan walked into the bathroom and started to wash up. Ji Lingchen was at the door, observing her through the mirror on the sink. He was very confused. What kind of girl was she? She seed to have many faces. So were arrogant, so were stubborn, so were sensible, and so were cute. However, if anyone bullied her, she would fight with them without any fear.
However, she did not sleep in his bed. Instead, she slept on the sofa. Her act of keeping a distance between the two of them made a strong impression on him.
Doubt was the prerequisite for curiosity. When curiosity was aroused, one would unconsciously want to deepen their understanding. When it ca to wanting to understand a person, one would take the initiative to understand that person. That would be dangerous...
Fang Xiaonuan very uncomfortable here. Every al in the Ji family’s house felt like a fishbone in her throat. When the two of them went downstairs, she said to Ji Lingchen again, “Think about it. Let’s move out and live together!”
Ji Lingchen said, “I’ll think about it.”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Then, think about it carefully. Moving out is only good for us. There’s no harm. You don’t want to see
make your family angry, do you? You don’t want to be bound by these rules, do you?”
Fang Xiaonuan understood one thing. In the Ji family, only Ji Lingchen could help her move out. Even if she had the ability to rent a house, she could not do so. What daughter-in-law would be allowed to rent a house after being married for only a few days? Moreover, she was married into the Ji family. The rules of the Ji family were strict, so they would not allow it.
“No one can restrain
at ho. As long as you don’t anger , others don’t care.” To put it bluntly, Ji Lingchen did not want to move out. He was deliberately letting Fang Xiaonuan experience life in the Ji family’s old residence.
Fang Xiaonuan was a smart person and imdiately understood what he ant.
