Chapter 126: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 126: Unforgettable Night
Bai Lu placed the tray on the table and just sat down when a slender hand reached around her waist.
A tall figure leaned in, staring at the four cups of water on the tray with a drunken and puzzled expression, "Is this strong tea?"
Looking at him, it seemed like his gaze reverted to that of a three-year-old child.
Bai Lu suddenly wanted to tease him like a child. She picked up a cup and placed it in front of him, saying softly, "This is a soup I specially made with bitter gourd in the kitchen. It's very effective for curing hangovers. After drinking it, you won't feel dizzy anymore. Give it a try."
"I'm not dizzy." The child stubbornly denied being drunk, with a serious expression.
After saying that, he picked up the bitter gourd soup, took a sip, and subconsciously frowned, "It's sweet."
The child was deceived and immediately turned to look at the culprit, with a hint of resentment in his blurry eyes.
Bai Lu suppressed a laugh, raised her hand, and gently touched his head, "Good, bitter gourd is sweet. I just wanted to see if you would refuse the bitter gourd soup I worked hard to make. I didn't expect you to really accept it. You're amazing!"
Xiao Cheng couldn't remember how many years it had been since someone touched his head, the last time being on this day.
That person touched his head and left, never to return.
Today... it was her.
Bai Lu's hand was suddenly held, pulled down, and Xiao Cheng looked at her steadily. In his hazy eyes, there was a hint of awakening, clarity, and surging emotions.
Thinking he might be angry, Bai Lu was about to apologize, but he gently pulled her hand over.
Closer to him.
He slowly lowered his head.
And kissed the back of her hand devoutly.
The slightly cool and soft touch penetrated through her hand, leaving Bai Lu stunned. Her heartbeat clearly accelerated.
"Hey hey hey~ Can you two stop it!"
"We're performing a show, at least give us some applause. Always showing affection all day long, do you want people to live... Sing a mountain song, sister, you sit at the bow of the ship..."
"Brother, I'll walk on the shore, affectionately~"
"..."
Just when they were making fun of others for showing affection, they started singing an affectionate song themselves. Luo Shiliu wanted to beat up Xiao Dazhuang and Wang Hao.
But in the end, they were dragged into a livelier dance.
Three left legs moved, three right legs moved, shaking heads, swaying brains, and shoulders shaking.
"I dance the best in the world~"
Bai Lu held back her laughter for a long time but couldn't resist it, laughing uncontrollably with her hand covering her mouth.
However, Xiao Cheng took her hand away.
The other hand reached up, and he held it, preventing her from hiding her not-so-standard smile.
"What are you doing..." Bai Lu laughed weakly and glared at him, "Let go of my hand quickly."
She couldn't burst into laughter at all.
In her later years, Bai Lu had cultivated the habit of a reserved and elegant smile.
It was the internationally standard smile: three millimeters and eight teeth. Smiling with either eight or six teeth showing, visible to others from three meters away. Smiling to show courtesy and please others, creating a pleasant mood.
Because sometimes, Bai Lu would attend banquets with her father, participate in official occasions, and there could be flash photography anytime. So, she had to smile appropriately, with a dignified demeanor.
She couldn't disgrace her parents, couldn't lose face for the official family, and couldn't show any lack of diplomatic demeanor at state banquets.
Bursting into laughter for Bai Lu was a luxury.
It was a standard etiquette to control laughter, whether in public or at private gatherings. Even if she saw something extremely funny, she had to resist the urge to laugh and follow the standard etiquette.
But the dance of Luo Shiliu, Xiao Dazhuang, and Wang Hao in front of her was just too funny.
Bai Lu couldn't help but want to burst into laughter. She could only instinctively cover her mouth, but her hand was continuously held by Xiao Cheng, not allowing her to cover it or pull it back.
"Let go of my hand quickly..."
Xiao Cheng not only didn't let go but also put her hand in his pocket. He held it firmly, like a stubborn three-year-old child.
Being drunk was indeed like being a three-year-old child!
Bai Lu finally realized that reasoning with a child was impossible. Her hand was pressed into the pocket, and the three men dancing in front of her were too amusing...
"Sister, you sit at the bow of the ship!"
"Brother, I'll walk on the shore~"
"Singing affectionate songs..."
"Xiao Dazhuang! You messed up the lyrics!!!!"
The honest man changed the lyrics immediately after being kicked. "Affectionately like a beautiful jasmine flower..."
Bai Lu hold back her laughter, her face buried in Xiao Cheng's shoulder. If she didn't cover her mouth, she couldn't hide it.
Unbearable.
How could his brothers be so funny?
Singing songs with changed lyrics was one thing, but dancing with swaying moves, occasional spins, and dragging the kid who was eating snails into the dance was another.
Poor Xiaowei, with a big snail in his mouth, puffing his cheeks, being lifted by Luo Shiliu and Wang Hao, each holding one shoulder, spinning in circles without touching the ground.
Bai Lu finally couldn't resist and burst into laughter on Xiao Cheng's shoulder, laughing and laughing until she had to bury her face again.
No!
Her image was going to be ruined!
Xiao Cheng noticed the trembling face on his shoulder, chuckled softly, mercifully let go of the little hand in his pocket, turned it around, and brought the face on his shoulder into his arms.
"It's spacious here, it can be hidden."
Bai Lu: "..."
She twisted his arm forcefully and continued to laugh.
Happiness is actually simple. Laugh when you want to, cry when you want to, unrestrained, ordinary is happiness.
There were no tall buildings, no dazzling lights, no nightlife, and no luxury cars or mansions here. Just a border town, a blue-brick tiled house, a deep friendship, and a night filled with laughter.
Simple and beautiful, unforgettable tonight.
Meetings and partings are inevitable. There's no endless feast in the world, and farewells are for a better reunion.
"Will they get lost?"
Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng stood at the door, watching the three staggering people leave. Bai Lu felt a bit uneasy.
Being this drunk, even honey water wouldn't work after drinking. Falling into a ditch would be a big problem.
"It's okay, they do this every year."
Xiao Cheng turned around and went home. Not hearing the footsteps following, he frowned slightly, turned back, directly grabbed White dew, closed the door, and pulled her along to his room.
He didn't even stop at the untidy dining table.
Seeing Xiao Wei still cleaning up, Xiao Cheng stunned him. After a
moment, he continued to quietly collect bowls and chopsticks.
Big brother was very happy today, he wouldn't hit Bai Lu.
He must have gone back to talk privately.
Bai Lu had never seen what private talk meant. It was closing the door, saying nothing, and pressing someone against the wall.
Arms propped against the wall, firmly enclosing the space, not allowing any escape.
"The bowls and chopsticks haven't been collected yet. Xiao Wei can't handle so many alone; I'll go help."
Bai Lu lowered her body, preparing to escape from under the man's arm, but was directly lifted by him.
In the blink of an eye, they were on the bed.
Xiao Cheng supported himself with both hands on either side of the pillow, lowered his head, lightly kissed her forehead, and his deep gaze fell with the sound.
"Wait for me."
