Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo worked hand in hand, and feet tangled, before finally managing to turn half of the pineapples into jam, which they then left to cool in a basin of water. By this time, Qiulan had already arrived early on, and Cheng Su was rushed off to prepare the noon meals. Since Taiguo had come and seen them bustling about incessantly, he simply took over the task of cooling the pineapple jam.
The group was busy until dusk, when Cheng Su told Qiulan to head home first, leaving the mess for her and Taiguo to clean up.
"This is more tiring than training," Taiguo grumbled, collapsing in the courtyard.
"Youâve worked hard," Cheng Su walked over and planted a sweet kiss on his face, saying, "Once weâve made some money, Iâll share some with you."
Taiguo was caught off guard by her kiss, his breath halted for a split second, and he touched his face, looking at her as if stupefied.
She, she was actually so frivolous!
"You, you..." he jumped up, pointing at Cheng Su incessantly.
"Whatâs the matter?" Cheng Su turned around, her face full of confusion.
Taiguo struggled to speak, âyouâing for the longest time without being able to utter the rest, awkwardly turning his head away, his ears reddening and chest heaving rapidly.
Sheâs a woman; how can she be so improper? Shouldnât these things be done by men?
Seeing him look so bashfully indignant, Cheng Su thought for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, her cheeks also becoming slightly warm with a touch of embarrassment.
After they got married, the closest they had been was probably during their wedding night; but having just traveled through time back then, she was too frightened by the whole affair to appreciate what it was like, and ever since then, the most intimacy they shared was merely an embrace.
Yet the way she had kissed him just now seemed so natural, as if, she had done it many times before.
Cheng Su felt a bit embarrassed, touching her face and slightly bowing her head.
"That, I..." She didnât even know what to say, and seeing Taiguoâs shell-shocked expression, she couldnât help but purse her lips and giggle once more.
"What are you laughing at?" Taiguo glared at her irritably and said, "You, your behavior just now, where did you learn that from? Itâs completely improper. From now on, you are not allowed to read those messy âStories of Affinityâ magazines."
Spoiled by bad influence!
Cheng Su laughed, her eyes twinkling as she touched her lips with her hand, deliberately saying, "Oh? What did I do that was so improper? It was just a kiss, youâre my husband, weâre legally married, am I not allowed to kiss you?"
Her movements were coquettish, her voice tender, exuding an irresistible charm.
Boom!
Taiguo felt as if something had exploded in his mind.
"Cheng Su!"
"Here!" Cheng Su saw that the more embarrassed he became, the more mischievous she felt, twisting her waist and walking over to him, drawing circles on his chest with her hand.
"Itâs too hot today, and your room doesnât have a fan. How about sleeping in my room tonight? Hmm?" While saying this, she looked up at him with sparkling eyes.
To sleep in her room?
It was as if fireworks were exploding in Taiguoâs eyes, shining brightly, and her hand scratching on his chest felt like a little kitten, making him extremely ticklish.
"You..." It took Taiguo a good long while to squeeze out the words, "You indecent woman!"
Cheng Su laughed merrily. She was a person at the forefront of the times, having seen everything there was to see in the 21st century. Sheâd had boyfriends, and as for men, she didnât have sexual hang-ups before entering a relationship. Hence, whether a man was a virgin or experienced didnât really matter to her, as long as they were loyal to each other once together.
Taiguoâs behavior was awkward and twisted, which delighted her. It felt like, teasing a cat.
