Chapter 112: The Disheartened Old Shen (2/2)

Zhao Qingfeng was once again mesmerized by Shen Lingyao’s tsundere and playful expressions, and her face that seemed exquisitely crafted by divine hands.

No wonder there were so many people in school chasing and secretly in love with her.

Zhao Qingfeng couldn’t help but curse himself for being blind before, not realizing the good fortune he was in…

“Yaoyao, do you want to date someone when you go to university?”

“Why do you care?”

“I mean, if no one likes you, maybe I could reluctantly take you in.”

“Keep dreaming. There are so many people chasing me, why would I worry about not having a boyfriend?”

“I didn’t mean that. You can’t cook, can’t do laundry, and always bully people. I’m doing a public service here!”

“Looking for a beating! ヽ(●-`Д′-)ノ”

Shen Lingyao turned around, her hands covered in laundry detergent, and started to rub it on Zhao Qingfeng’s face.

“If you keep rubbing, I’ll bite you!”

Zhao Qingfeng closed his eyes and pretended to bite around.

“Really a silly dog!”

“Woof, woof!”

“Ah, you really bit me! See if I don’t bite back with my tiger teeth, treat you like ribs (╬◣д◢)”

“Ow! Thrilling! (??ˇ?ˇ?)”

…

Time flew by.

Before they knew it, it was evening.

When Zhao Qingfeng came out to drink water, Shen Kuo returned home, drunk.

He had spent the afternoon drinking alone in a small shop.

In the morning, he had told Ding Xiang that they would definitely make a lot of money in the future. Now, returning like a defeated general, how could he face her?

“Back already?”

Ding Xiang approached him with a look of tender care.

“Uh…”

Shen Kuo didn’t know what to say, laughed twice, “Ding Xiang, things are almost settled. Today, Old Wang and I did quite well. I think there will be good news next week. I had a few drinks, quite happy, but not enough. Fry a couple of dishes, let’s drink some more.”

Emotions are as unpredictable as the direction of the wind.

Shen Kuo, slightly drunk under the light, saw Ding Xiang as if she was young again.

He wanted to hold her tight, kiss her.

Just like the passionate, intimate moments when they were young.

It had been almost a month since they last were intimate. Previously, Shen Kuo had back pain, and Ding Xiang didn’t care much about these passionate moments, leading their relationship to turn bland.

Ding Xiang quickly fried the dishes. After Zhao Qingfeng and Shen Lingyao had eaten, she closed the door to the study room and sat down to drink with Shen Kuo.

“Old Shen, what’s gotten into you lately, so keen on making money? You’re not trying to be like your factory manager and keep a mistress, are you? Tell you, don’t try to play the old tree sprouts new leaves game with me, or I’ll strangle you!”

After being together for over twenty years, Ding Xiang could detect even the slightest change in him.

“Ha ha!”

Hearing her playful joke and seeing her youthful-looking face, Shen Kuo said nothing, suddenly grabbed a handful of Liuwei Dihuang pills from the drawer, swallowed a dozen, then picked her up and rushed into the bedroom, closing the door.

“What are you doing…”

Ding Xiang wanted to say, even as an old couple, why so impulsive.

“I… I love you… I love you…”

Shen Kuo’s emotions surged like a volcano, whether out of fear of a rival or wanting to prove himself in some way.

In any case,

He wanted to always have Ding Xiang, afraid of losing her.

“What are they doing going to the bedroom?”

When Zhao Qingfeng came back from outside, Shen Lingyao asked suspiciously.

Could it be that her parents were arguing over something again?

“More serious than arguing, they started fighting.”

Zhao Qingfeng said with a smirk, as the bedroom wasn’t very soundproof and noises could still be heard.

“Ah?”

Shen Lingyao was shocked and really wanted to go check.

“Hey, come back, just kidding! I haven’t explained this problem yet. If you go now, I’m not studying anymore. Or if you want to fight, let’s you and I do it!”

“Bring it on, scared of you? ???°益°??”

“I didn’t mean actually fighting, hey! (Ｔ▽Ｔ)”

“Don’t care, hurry up and study, the mock exam is coming. If you don’t do well, I’ll really beat you up!”
