Su Ji:
She recalled that Pei Xingxing had thrown the devil-level ninth-order Rubik’s cube into the crib after ssing it up. No one else took it after that.
And it was in the crib the whole ti…
Su Ji looked at her son, who had fallen asleep.
At this mont, he was holding his sister’s hand in contentnt. His sleeping posture was very neat, unlike a baby, only his head was slightly leaning in the direction of his sister.
After looking at it for half a minute, Su Ji retracted her gaze and quietly ssed up the Rubik’s cube again.
She loosened her fingers and the Rubik’s cube fell into the storage basket. It rolled around and landed steadily in the middle of the small basket.
Su Ji returned to the dressing table and continued reading her dical book.
Pei Huai ca out of the bathroom. There were twenty-four emails from his assistants on his phone.
He was wearing a bathrobe, one hand holding a towel to dry his half-dried short hair, and the other hand swiping through the email on the screen.
All the emails were sent by his assistants, but there was no news from Shen Mu.
The children were already asleep, and his wife was reading quietly. She needed to go to the study to deal with her mail.
He looked at his wife. “Don’t stay up too late.”
Recently, she had not rested much.
Su Ji did not look at him. Her gaze was still on the dical book in her hand. When she was focused on sothing, her lips would purse slightly, just like now.
“Yes, don’t worry,” she replied lightly.
Pei Huai left for the study.
By the ti Pei Huai finished all his work and returned from the study, it was already close to one in the morning.
There was only a dim light in front of the dressing table left in the room. His wife did not listen to him. The book in her hand changed from one to three. She had clearly read the other two a few days ago.
She was wearing black silk pajamas. From her back, one could see her thin back and a few slightly protruding vertebrae.
Pei Huai frowned.
His approaching footsteps caught the girl’s attention. She paused for a mont and tilted her head to look at the phone beside her, as if she had just noticed the ti.
She massaged the space between her eyebrows and closed the books. She turned around and looked at him. “Okay, let’s go to bed.”
Pei Huai walked over without saying a word. He grabbed her wrist and brought her to the bed…
That night, Su Ji had another dream.
She rarely dread recently. The last ti she dread was just after her due date. She dread of the hospital corridor and the nurse holding two children in her arms.
At that ti, she was still wondering which of the two children was hers. It was only now that she realized that both of them were hers.
After that day, she did not have any more dreams. She really did not want to dream anymore.
But today, after she lost consciousness, she saw the scene again.
It was the sa ominous feeling, but the difference was that this ti, she dread of her mother.
The scene in her previous life, the night when her mother found out that she was already at the end of her rope, she said that she was craving for wine.
Su Ji went to get her mother’s favorite osmanthus wine. There were not many places in the village that sold pastries to begin with. Moreover, the entire village was enveloped by the plague at that ti, and people were in a panic and wailing everywhere.
Su Ji went to the mountains to catch a pheasant, plucked its feathers, and let it bleed. The process was as familiar as she was in the history of the variety show, Cohabitation.
It was covered with mud.
The granny next door had died, so she borrowed the granny’s cellar to roast it.
Their thatched cottage was lit by candles. It was her mother waiting for her to return.
She had been gone for a long ti, and her mother might have already beco impatient.
As she entered the house, she cleaned up the traces of crying on her face. She tidied her hair and stepped through the door.
There was a wooden table on the wooden bed. The pale-faced mother was draped in a coat. She sat there with her elbow on the table and her palm on her forehead. Her gaze was lowered. She was dozing off.
It was the aroma of wine and roast chicken that woke her up.
Su Ji wanted to turn around and leave the mont her eyes t hers, but Xu Mingzhi stopped her.
“I’ll warm the wine,” Su Ji said with his back to her.
Xu Mingzhi waved at her. “No need. Bring it over. I can’t wait to drink it.”
She sounded casual as though she has just recovered.
Su Ji paused in her steps, took a deep breath, and stepped onto her mother’s wooden bed.
Even though the mother and daughter were very light, the wooden bed still made a creaking sound.
It had been a long ti since they had slept on such a ssy bed. They were stunned for a mont before they laughed at the sa ti.
The first half of the dream was extrely heartwarming. The flickering candlelight swayed beside their faces.
There were a total of three jugs of wine. Xu Mingzhi took two jugs and Su Ji only took one.
