C12 Sleeplessness in the Middle of the Night

The courtyard in Zhao Family was low and decadent. If it weren't for the cypress door facing them, which was erected on a large stone wall, it would have been at home. It made people feel like it was an old thatched cottage.

Su Zhi sighed inwardly. She leaned close to the door and peeked inside, revealing Zhao Ling's big watery eyes. When she saw the two of them, she yelled out in surprise, "Mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law are back!"

It was still early in the day, so Madam Zhao sat on the porch to take in her shoes. Actually, when Su Zhi first saw her shoes, she was really puzzled. Madam Zhao couldn't see. How did she take in her shoes?

Madam Zhao's answer was nothing out of the ordinary. "When I was young, I would often take in the soles of my shoes. Once I get used to it, practice makes perfect!"

Afterwards, he became blind and was unable to accept it. However, due to the pressure from life, he was able to do it. However, he was not able to keep up with the speed of life.

At this moment, Madam Zhao heard that they had returned, and was about to put down her shoes to prepare dinner. Su Zhi immediately stopped her, and donned her apron and entered Kitchen herself — ever since she married into Zhao Family, as long as she was at home, all the family's food issues would be dealt with by her!

Dinner was served: a bowl of fish soup, a biscuit, and the leftover steamed bun at noon. The two children, Zhao Ling and Zhao Xu, were smiling from ear to ear.

It had indeed been a long time since they had such a delicious fish soup. They even chewed on the bone before asking Su Zhi, "Where did the fish soup come from?"

At the same time, Madam Zhao also raised her head and looked in her direction, curious about the origin of the fish soup. After all, although there was a river of water that flowed past Nankou Village not far away, once winter came, Zhushan Town and Qingping Residence would build dams and store water. The river water was dried up, there were no fish at all!

Su Zhi pursed her glistening lips and looked at Zhao Jin meaningfully, "This is a pretty sister in the town who was too tired from reading your brother's books and specially made to comfort him. Your brother couldn't bear to drink it, so he left it for you guys!"

When he saw Su Zhi deliberately take out a small bowl of fish soup and protect the leftover soup in the jar, he knew that she purposely packed the soup for the two radishes at home to drink. Now that he heard her words, he couldn't help but guess a little in his heart.

Before Su Zhi could appreciate Zhao Jin's helpless look, she was immediately struck dumb by Zhao Ling's words. Many years later, she could still remember: "Big Brother, although … The fish soup is delicious, but you already have a sister-in-law. "No matter how ugly they are, they are still our sister-in-law. You must not drink soup made by other sisters next time!"

"Alright, I'll listen to Ling!" Zhao Jin felt helpless as he felt even more wronged. In the end, he didn't forget to look at Su Zhi meaningfully.

As for the outdated woman, her face was already red as she lowered her head to clean up the dishes. After that, she shut herself in her Kitchen to wash up, constantly tormenting the beans and chilli peppers she had bought.

Zhao Jin read his book once before dawn. It wasn't until it was dark and his family had finished washing up and had gone to bed did he realize that there seemed to be a flaw in this narrow room — his fat daughter-in-law had yet to return to her room!

In the past, she had always complained: This broken mountain village without electricity and Internet life is really sad! Then, she would follow his example and casually take out a book to guard his side. Occasionally, she would be in a good mood and would even enjoy the tea that she personally brew.

Although the tea leaves were still the same, but after being soaked by her plump hands, it seemed to have a different meaning within her heart.

But today, it was quiet beside his ears, but his heart felt empty, as if he had lost something.

He was used to the existence of his fat daughter-in-law, now that he was suddenly absent, he could not even read properly, so he had to go out of the room and look around the dark courtyard. He saw dark shadows everywhere, there was no moon in the sky, and only stars were twinkling high up in the sky.

It was very quiet everywhere, and only the sound of drums could be heard from Kitchen. He walked over quietly, and under the light of the not yet completely burnt red stars from the stove, he saw Su Zhi pressing something into a ceramic jar nonstop.

After a long time, she finally finished what she was doing and turned around.

"Ahh …" Su Zhi did not expect to see someone behind her. She was so frightened that her body went limp and she fell forward.

Zhao Jin was originally prepared, but when he heard her scream, he lost his composure. When he tried to stabilize himself again, he found that his slim body was already covered with a heavy weight.

"Hiss …" He could not help but take a deep breath!

At this moment, Su Zhi reacted as well. Tsk! Her body that was almost one hundred and eighty Jin was pressing down on the small and thin body of another one hundred and twenty Jin …

This was even more terrifying than what happened just now. She hurriedly got up from his body, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't get up. Just like that, their lips touched.

Under the dim light, their faces turned red at the same time. Su Zhi's heart thumped wildly as she hurriedly dodged. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jin also moved aside and the two of them touched lips once again.

It was as if the butterfly had landed on a petal, and then a gust of wind blew over, moving it away …

In order to prevent the two of them from unintentionally kissing again, Su Zhi had to raise her head. However, even though there was a thick layer of clothing between them, it was still extremely soft …

His two hearts were in a mess. They jumped like a shower of rain after a thunderstorm in summer. It was dense, numb, and chaotic!

The firelight in the stove had already gone out as they looked at each other, leaving the surroundings in darkness.

"Hmm …"

It was unknown who let out the strange and long sound, but that sound was mixed with a faint hint of pleading and pain, causing the two of them to tremble repeatedly in the dark night!

Imagine these two people. One of them had a 26 year old soul, the other was a 20 year old hot-blooded young man …

The atmosphere suddenly became charming. Su Zhi, who was suddenly sober, felt that she should say something, otherwise, Zhao Jin would feel like nothing had happened.

"Ah!" She shouted, "Zhao Jin, you pushed me down … "It hurts!" She wanted to say that she was pressed by him, but now that they were on top of her, how could Zhao Jin blame her?

Her cheeks were burning with embarrassment, and she managed to say, "Oh, help me up!" She was afraid that if she forced herself to endure any longer, she would definitely fall down again!

Relying on Zhao Jin's help, Su Zhi struggled to get up, and ran into the room while supporting herself with the door frame. Zhao Jin leaned on the Kitchen door frame, looking at the afterimage left behind by the person who was crazily running away, thinking.

His slender fingers caressed his lips, and the calluses on his belly magnified the softness of his lips. His serious heart seemed to be blown by a naughty wind, gently rippling, hazy yet gentle!
