Chapter 56: Sink or Swim Together

Lin Xiangyi: “…” He kind of looked like a pitiful little boy who couldn’t get candy.

Her heart softened. After turning off the light and getting into bed, she took the initiative to help him.

In the darkness, Xie Qingxiao rested his chin on her head, his breath slightly rough. He looked down at her, curled up in his arms like a shrimp, a smile playing on his lips. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.

His girl was so kind. He just had to show a bit of weakness and she would soften.

But it wasn’t enough. They had been married for almost a week, and he still hadn’t gotten any “meat.”

Xie Qingxiao was willing to give Lin Xiangyi time to adjust, but he wouldn’t just sit around and wait. Otherwise, with Lin Xiangyi’s personality, he didn’t know when he would finally get her to take the initiative.

That would be too cruel to him. Before he married her, he had dreamed of going to “Mount Wushan” with her countless times. Now that he had her, he couldn’t even touch her?

Xie Qingxiao reached out and cupped her face, his lips finding hers in the darkness.

Lin Xiangyi was completely unaware of the man’s calculations, thinking he was just uncomfortable. She was very docile.

As she endured his kiss, her mind gradually went blank. By the time she realized what was happening, they were about to get carried away.

“Xie Qingxiao,” Lin Xiangyi pushed him away with difficulty, “No.”

Xie Qingxiao: “…” He was just a little bit away.

But today was a lot of progress compared to the previous days. He stopped short of forcing the issue, but he wouldn’t let go of this seductive opportunity. He asked, “Wife, aren’t you uncomfortable?”

His voice was hoarse, with a seductive quality.

Lin Xiangyi’s face turned completely red. He was setting the fire everywhere, and he dared to ask her if she was uncomfortable?

“Don’t worry about it,” she just wanted to push him away, otherwise she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to resist.

Xie Qingxiao looked at her deeply, then suddenly leaned down.

Sensing his intentions, Lin Xiangyi hurriedly pulled him, but failed. She could only cover her mouth and face. This man!!!

Afterward, she didn’t dare to look at Xie Qingxiao.

Xie Qingxiao rarely saw her blushing face, and found it both funny and satisfying.

Who told her not to be intimate with him? Then he would just drag her down with him.

As long as she experienced the pleasure of it, wouldn’t it be a matter of time before she was willing to be intimate with him?

Fortunately, Lin Xiangyi didn’t have mind-reading skills, otherwise she would have been tempted to punch him.

And Xie Qingxiao was still pushing his luck, leaning over to hug her, “Wife, when will it be okay?”

“Why are you always thinking about this?” Lin Xiangyi pushed him away, pretending to be fierce, but her voice was actually quite coquettish. It made Xie Qingxiao want to bully her even more.

Xie Qingxiao pulled her back, not letting her escape. He kissed her twice before saying, “I’m about to suffocate. Give me a date. You clearly don’t resist me, why aren’t you willing to be intimate with me?”

If she still had someone else in her heart, or if she wanted to learn more about him, he could understand.

But she had clearly accepted him. At the train station, she had asked him, “What happened to you? Did you ever think about what would happen to me?” This proved that she truly wanted to be with him.

What else could it be? Lin Xiangyi was exasperated, but he just wouldn’t believe her that she was pregnant. What could she do?

Not to mention that it was still early, even if she wanted to check if she was pregnant, she would have to wait a month or two to find a traditional Chinese doctor who could possibly diagnose it by taking her pulse.

Thinking about this, Lin Xiangyi felt a surge of mischievousness, and said, “Twenty days.”

“What?”

“I said, it’s okay after twenty days,” Lin Xiangyi said. If she was really pregnant, then by that time she would be forty days pregnant, and a traditional Chinese doctor could diagnose her.

Then she would see how surprised he was.

Of course, if she woke up with her past memories and created a butterfly effect, and she wasn’t pregnant, then it wouldn’t matter to him.

They were husband and wife, and it was only natural for them to do these things.

Xie Qingxiao was stunned. He hadn’t expected Lin Xiangyi to actually give him a specific date. He asked excitedly, “Really?”

“Really,” Lin Xiangyi was already imagining Xie Qingxiao’s shocked expression when he found out she was pregnant. She thought the scene would be very funny, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Xie Qingxiao pecked her face, taking advantage of the situation to coax her, “Wife, twenty days is too long. What about ten days? Twelve days would be fine too. How about fifteen days, exactly half a month?”

Lin Xiangyi rolled her eyes. After rolling her eyes, she remembered that he couldn’t see in the dark, so she said decisively, “Twenty days. If you keep haggling with me, then it’ll be a month.”

Xie Qingxiao: “… Okay, twenty days.”

Perhaps because Lin Xiangyi had given him a date, Xie Qingxiao was happy. Not only did he not bother her for the rest of the night, but he actually calmed down for the next few days.

Lin Xiangyi was able to catch her breath.

This is a later story.

The next day, Xie Qingxiao did the same thing as yesterday, bringing back fifty kilograms of pig intestines and one hundred and fifty kilograms of duck innards. The amount of braised meat he made was also about one hundred and ten kilograms.

But what was different today was that Zhang Pengfei took forty kilograms of braised meat to sell.

Lin Xiangyi and Xie Qingxiao took about seventy kilograms.

Just like yesterday, they first went to the train station.

Because of Xie Qingxiao’s “heroic act” yesterday, the staff at the train station remembered him. When they recognized Xie Qingxiao, they bought some braised meat and brought some customers with them.

Of course, the main reason was that the train station had a large flow of passengers, and the couple quickly sold fifty kilograms of braised meat.

For the remaining twenty kilograms, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi didn’t sell them there. Instead, they went to the textile factory’s family compound.

They had gone to the textile factory’s family compound to sell braised meat for the first time, and because they only brought thirty kilograms, some customers didn’t get any when they went back that day. They specifically asked if they would be coming back the next day.

At the time, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi didn’t say they would definitely go, but they did think about going last night. They didn’t go last night, but it wouldn’t hurt to go tonight.

What Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi didn’t expect was that their first customer, Grandma Liu, was actually sitting at the entrance of the family compound in the shade, waiting for them.

“Oh my, young man, young lady, you’re finally here. I thought you wouldn’t be coming tonight. I was so worried. I’ve been waiting for you for two nights. If I didn’t know where you lived, I would have gone to find you,” Grandma Liu greeted them immediately: “Hurry, hurry, give me two kilograms.”

Lin Xiangyi and Xie Qingxiao looked at each other. Although they were very confident in their braised meat, they didn’t know if it was so delicious that it would make someone wait at the entrance for them for two nights.

Xie Qingxiao quickly weighed out two kilograms for Grandma Liu.

Lin Xiangyi smiled and said, “Grandma, is our braised meat really that delicious?” Grandma Liu only bought three taels the day before yesterday, but today she bought two kilograms!
