Chapter 5
After filling his stomach, Shu Nian put the bowl of noodles back into the kitchen, which was in a mess as if it had been looted.
Nie Minglang stood at the door and said, “I’ll be back to clean up the kitchen in a bit.”
As he said that, he walked out the door first and prepared to wait at the door.
Unexpectedly, within two minutes, Shu Nian came out wrapped tightly.
Nie Minglang couldn’t help but be a little surprised. In the past, this woman would take a long time to go out, and would fiddle in the bedroom for a long time before going out. He had seen this before.
The woman smeared the contents of the bottles and jars on her face.
After applying, I have to look in the mirror for a long time and then choose clothes. The whole process takes at least half an hour.
I didn’t expect today to be so enjoyable.
He couldn’t help but look up, and was slightly stunned when he saw the woman’s bare face.
After being married for so long, this was the first time he saw her looking so plain. She was clean and tidy, and the charm between her eyebrows seemed to have faded a little.
But his gaze did not stay for long and he quickly turned his head away.
He said coldly: “Let’s go!”
As he said this, he took the lead and walked in front.
The man was tall and had long legs, so he walked very fast. Shu Nian had to jog to keep up with him.
Neither of them spoke during the entire journey, and the atmosphere was unusually quiet.
After leaving the courtyard, the two walked on the road. It was very quiet around them, with only the sound of snow crunching under their feet.
Nie Minglang was surprised by Shu Nian’s obedience, and he could feel that Shu Nian’s footsteps were very close to him.
In the past, when the two of them walked together, Shu Nian wished he could stay three meters away from him.
At first, he wondered why Shu Nian hated him. He believed that he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband. He never smoked or drank, and he washed his own clothes.
Originally he could eat in the army, but for Shu Nian, he came back every day to cook for himself.
He wanted to live a good life with her and build their own little family, but as time went on, he found that everything he did was in vain.
Shu Nian’s attitude towards him remained unchanged.
This made Nie Minglang feel a little discouraged, but he always thought that Shu Nian would be able to see the good in him after a long time.
He initially refused when his parents asked him to go on a blind date.
He has always had someone he likes, but he has never mentioned it to anyone.
When he was thirteen years old, he fell asleep on the mountain while out cutting grass for pigs. When he woke up and opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful girl looking at him.
The girl smiled sweetly at him, then ran away grinning.
Although at the age of thirteen he still didn’t understand what love meant.
But the girl’s appearance was deeply engraved in his heart.
But looking at his parents’ increasingly aging faces, he still chose to agree to the blind date.
God knows how happy he was when he saw the girl. He tried his best to control his excitement so as not to lose his composure in front of the girl.
Things went smoothly and he married the girl he loved.
But he didn’t expect that married life was not what he imagined. As the days passed, his passionate heart was gradually wrapped in ice.
“Crunch, crunch—!”
The two walked forward on the snow.
Halfway through the walk, Nie Minglang stopped and turned back.
There was a question that had been bothering him for the past three years, and he decided to get to the bottom of it today.
He turned and looked at Shu Nian.
Shu Nian walked forward in Nie Minglang’s footsteps without paying attention to the road ahead. She didn’t even know when Nie Minglang stopped.
Just ran straight into it.
“Hmm…”
Shu Nian cried out in pain and covered her nose. She felt as if her nose had hit a hard wooden board.
There was a bubble of tears in her eyes that seemed about to fall, and she looked at the man accusingly with red eyes.
Nie Minglang frowned. In the past, he might have felt distressed seeing her like this, but now when he looked at her, he felt more disgust.
I hate myself for being so blind. How could I fall in love with such a shameless person?
He snorted coldly and said seriously, “Shu Nian, we are getting divorced soon. You don’t have to pretend in front of me. I have something to ask you.”
The man’s voice was cold. Shu Nian tilted his head, not understanding what was wrong with the man.
And what did he want to ask?
Facing Shu Nian’s puzzled gaze, Nie Minglang spoke slowly, “I have never understood why you hate me?
You didn’t tell me when I asked you before, but now we are getting divorced, can you tell me?”
As soon as Nie Minglang said this, Shu Nian was stunned.
Even the action of rubbing his nose stopped subconsciously.
How should he answer this question?
Of course she knew why the original owner hated Nie Minglang, but she couldn’t say it. Wouldn’t it be indirectly admitting that there was something wrong with her eyes? !
Now that she has transformed into this body, she has become the real Shu Nian!
If she says it now, she will be the one who is embarrassed!
She doesn’t want to talk about such an embarrassing thing!
Shu Nian quickly shook his head and pursed his lips, pretending that he would never tell anyone.
Even if the king of heaven asks you today, you can’t get any answer from her!
After waiting for a long time without getting the answer he wanted, Nie Minglang looked at Shu Nian deeply and turned around again.
“Crunch, creak!” The sound of stepping on the snow sounded again.
Shu Nian breathed a sigh of relief but was also dejected. Thinking that such a perfect man would no longer belong to her, she wished she could go back in time and open the original owner’s forehead to take a closer look.
See if it’s filled with “defense”!
Can cook, wash clothes, clean the house, make money, and look handsome…
She has so many advantages, but such a perfect man is about to leave her. It hurts to breathe just thinking about it.
“Oh!” She sighed, sniffed, put her hands in her pockets and followed the man closely.
The two walked forward quietly, and the atmosphere became silent again.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly ran hurriedly from behind the two of them. When passing by them, Nie Minglang grabbed one of them and asked what happened.
The man saw that it was Nie Minglang, stopped and replied breathlessly:
“Just now, a few children went to the river to skate. When they were halfway through the river, the surface of the river cracked and the children fell in. Two of them managed to climb out, but the other one couldn’t get out at all.
The two children were too weak to pull the person out, and the river surface could crack again at any time.
One of the children ran back to ask an adult for help, while the other one was still trying to rescue him from the river!”
Before the man could finish his words, Nie Minglang had already run after the crowd, and the person who spoke immediately caught up with him.
Shu Nian stood there for two seconds, then also ran forward.
She has wood-related abilities, and she was a student at a medical university in her previous life, so maybe she could be of help in the past.
It was her first time walking on such a snow trail, and she was not as fast as the others, so she was soon left behind for some distance.
I finally followed the footprints and got there.
At this time, the child who fell into the river had been rescued.
She leaned over to help, but was pushed away and fell heavily on her butt.
“Get out of the way! Don’t block the road!”
A shout was heard, and a group of people ran away into the distance.
Shu Nian was pushed and stunned.
She finally managed to stand up, rubbed her buttocks, and felt it was so numb that she almost lost all feeling.
Shu Nian:
…
When Shu Nian returned to the compound, he did not see those children, and there was no noise in the compound. He thought that those people must have sent the children to the infirmary.
Thinking of this, she went straight back to her own yard.
She made a mess in the kitchen this morning, so now she has time to go back and clean it up.
Entering the kitchen, she took off the cotton coat that was in the way and put it aside, then rolled up her sleeves and started working!
She first closed the window that had been opened in the morning. The weather was cold now, and the kitchen had lost all heat and was freezing cold after the window had been open for a while.
She found a broom and swept up the scattered firewood fragments on the ground.
Then he fetched a basin of water and began to wipe the stove, leaving no corner untouched.
Soon, the kitchen looked brand new.
While scrubbing, she used up all the water in the thermos, but she didn’t dare to turn on the fire to boil water. If she made a mess of smoke, all her hard work would be wasted!
Throwing the rag aside, Shu Nian washed his hands and left the kitchen.
Seeing that it was still early, she thought Nie Minglang wouldn’t be back for a while, so she prepared to take a nap.
In this day and age, there were neither mobile phones nor any other entertainment facilities, and the only way to pass the time was to sleep. She stretched and was about to go back to her room.
At this moment, a voice came from the door.
“Oh, you’re still living a carefree life. Look at you, you don’t have to do anything but wait for the meal. Unlike me, I have to help my naughty monkey cook later!”
These words may seem like flattery, but if you taste them carefully you can find that Huazhong has a sour tone to it that makes people feel uncomfortable.
Shu Nian turned around and looked behind him.
Standing at the door was a woman of about the same age as her. Her name was Du Chunhua. She was the original owner’s friend, or bestie, in this compound.
The two of them often got together, and the original owner liked to talk to her about everything.
Seeing Shu Nian looking at her, Du Chunhua didn’t hesitate and walked straight into the room.
She sat down, put the food in her hand on the table, and took a sip of the water glass on the table.
Judging from her skillful movements, she was obviously a frequent visitor here, but Shu Nian did not give her a good look and asked:
“What do you want to do here?”
