Chapter 150: Meeting the Future Mother-in-Law, Jiang Ruxue is Actually Attracted to Her Son-in-Law (Part )
Rustle...rustle.
Jiang Ning was lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully. The bright moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains onto her quiet profile.
In fact, she was sleeping very lightly, but because of the constant noises beside her, she opened her eyes after a while.
"what happened?"
In the dim bedroom, Jiang Yao, who was lying on the same bed with her, tossed and turned, and had not felt sleepy for more than an hour.
Jiang Ning asked quietly, and Yaoyao turned around.
She glanced at her sister and whispered, "It's so strange... I'm not used to it when I get home. My bed feels so strange."
Jiang Yao turned sideways and hugged her sister's waist, with her legs also resting on her body.
She stared at the ceiling in a rather depressed mood: "And I don't know why, I'm in a bad mood, always thinking about this and that."
"What are you thinking about..."
A lazy hum came from Jiang Ning's throat, and she asked lightly with her eyes closed.
"Ah... do you think Chen Yuan really thinks I'm cheap?"
"Humph."
"Say something, sister, don't humph. Are you using the cold shoulder on me?"
"It seems like what I said got to your heart. You're still thinking about it so late at night."
"Because what you said is right," Jiang Yao silently moved her long legs away and straightened her messy hair, "Things that are too easy to get will not be cherished. I understand this truth, but I can't control myself when I'm with Chen Yuan."
"so?"
"So do I care too much about his feelings?"
"You should care more about your own feelings. After all, this is your first time in love."
"That's not what you said..." Jiang Yao curled her lips, was silent for a while, and then moved closer to Ning Ning's cheek, "So what was it like when you two were together?"
"Ask for information? I won't tell you." Jiang Ning raised a smile and turned away.
Jiang Yao forced her back.
"Just tell me, or I won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Forget it, I'll go to my room and sleep."
"No, I'll go wherever you go. If you don't tell me, I'll pester you... pester you to death."
Jiang Yao grabbed Ningning's clothes, rubbed against her arms, and muttered to herself.
"Alright, alright, stop messing around. I told you, isn't that enough? When we're together, it's probably more natural. The atmosphere is very relaxed."
“What does it feel like to be relaxed?”
"When we are together, even if we do nothing, we will feel very happy, and we don't need to deliberately do other things."
"Then you won't be in a hurry to love him...as if you're afraid that if you're a few seconds late, it will be too late to love him."
"How can I feel this way? I'm thinking too much."
Jiang Ning reached out and kneaded Yaoyao's cheek.
She consoled him, "You've learned to love others before you've learned to love yourself. A truly healthy relationship has a very delicate balance bar. You won't be so nervous that you can't breathe. Sometimes you're afraid that he can't feel your love. It's not like that... If you have to keep giving, that's not love."
After listening to her sister's words, Jiang Yao felt that it made sense.
She thought for a moment.
Suddenly he frowned and said, "Did I do something wrong? Should I change it..."
"It's up to you. Chen Zai shouldn't have so many ideas. After all, it's his first time to fall in love. We can learn and progress together... Forget it, let's go to sleep." Jiang Ning turned around and found a more comfortable sleeping position, and breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm still busy tomorrow."
"No, I can't sleep anymore."
"..."
"Sister, Mommy hasn't come back yet, right?"
"do not know."
After answering this question, the whole room fell silent.
Jiang Ning waited for a long time but her sister didn't speak again, nor did she feel any movement from her sister.
Just when she was satisfied and thought she could finally sleep well.
Jiang Yao, who was standing by, suddenly stood up and straightened his back as if he had come back from the dead.
"Sister, I suddenly want to eat ice cream!"
"Ah!!! Auntie, please calm down!"
Much of the night.
Eventually, Jiang Ning was dragged downstairs. Like mice crawling out of the darkness, the two of them sneakily opened the refrigerator and talked in low voices.
"Hey, this is delicious...I want to eat this."
“This one seems pretty good too.”
"Forget it, how about eating a popsicle?"
"Why are you eating popsicles in the middle of the night? Don't be crazy."
"I want to eat..."
The two sisters sat cross-legged on the bed. Jiang Ning put the small spoon filled with sweet ice cream into her mouth, feeling full of guilt.
I don’t know how much calories this bite will contain.
How much exercise will I have to do tomorrow to pay off the sins I committed tonight...
"Cool!"
Jiang Yao sighed as she bit the popsicle in her moist cherry mouth, her tongue swirling around and swallowing. The icy and cool taste gave her mouth great satisfaction.
Ningning stared at her for a while, and suddenly her face looked a little strange. She said softly, "I didn't realize it before. Yaoyao, your tongue is quite flexible."
"is it?"
"..."
For some reason, Ningning's cheeks turned slightly red, and she turned away with a vague look in her eyes.
It seemed as if he recalled some bad scenes.
……
The end of December is close to the New Year, and the twelfth month is another name for the end of the year. At this time of year, people who are away from home will rush back from all over the world just to have a hot reunion dinner and see their family members whom they have not seen for a long time.
The elderly people who live in the old communities like sculptures always look forward to the arrival of the New Year.
The winter wind was so cold that it whistled through the small county town, frosting the withered grass, icicles on the tree trunks, and the lively lake gradually became still. Then, snowflakes fell one after another, making the dark sky even more gloomy. When Chen Yuan woke up from his dream, it was already a vast expanse of white outside.
He crawled out of bed, answered the phone with a dazed look on his face, and went downstairs in his pajamas.
My mother bought a bunch of things and couldn't hold on when she carried them downstairs. She was so tired and out of breath, so she asked him for help.
But when he went downstairs, he was shocked by the pure white world outside.
The ground was completely covered. The soft snow had piled up very thickly when stepped on. Every roof in the distance was covered with pure white. Large chunks of snow were still falling, as if to bury the world.
"How come you came out in your pajamas, kid? It's so cold outside!"
From a distance, Chen's mother saw Chen Yuan and shouted.
She said this in a tone full of blame, and she wished she could rush over and take Chen Yuan back home.
"Is it snowing?"
"It started raining at four in the morning. You only know how long it's been."
"No wonder, it's been so long."
Chen Yuan hurriedly took out his cell phone, not caring whether it was cold or not. He quickly took pictures of this extremely spectacular world of ice and snow. The branches of the dead trees in the distance seemed to be collapsed, which was enough to show how heavy this sudden snow was.
Although Chen Yuan lives in the north, he doesn't see snow like this every year.
He craned his neck and pointed the camera toward the sky.
If he hadn't been standing under the eaves, his head and face would have been covered with snow in just a few seconds.
Of course Chen Yuan immediately shared the picture of this scenery with his girlfriend after all, these cannot be seen in Lanjing and Mingzhu City.
"Still filming, hurry home!"
"I know, I know." Chen Yuan took the huge bag of cabbage from his mother's hand, picked up the pork, and walked upstairs.
He would have to come back later to take the second trip.
This community has five floors in total and no elevator.
Climbing the stairs was extremely difficult. Mother Chen had to stop several times for each trip. It took him a long time to reach the second floor.
Snowing.
The festive atmosphere becomes more and more intense.
In the living room.
Chen Yuan was chatting with his brothers while crossing his legs and watching TV.
It also snowed in Zhongzhou. Wei Zhen was excitedly making a snowman outside, and it seemed that there was a little girl beside him.
About seven or eight years old.
The videos he shot were filled with happy laughter.
You could also hear the little girl calling "Brother, come here" all the time. Chen Yuan suddenly felt warm listening to this. He is an only child and has never experienced the feeling of having brothers and sisters.
Liu Nan was also popping up in the group.
Only Quan Yafeng didn't know whether he hadn't gotten up or what, and he didn't show up the whole morning.
"Xiao Yuan, there is something I need to tell you."
At the door.
Father Chen, who was covered in snow, had just returned from outside. He took off his glasses, wiped them, put them on and called Chen Yuan.
"Dad, you say."
"Your real dad will come over later and pick you up if he has something to do."
"go out?"
Chen Yuan was stunned.
It's snowing so heavily outside, how important could it be to do it today? Besides, Jiang Zhengfeng should still be out of town. Did he drive here?
"I saw you fell asleep yesterday, so I didn't tell you," Aunt Chen said calmly as she was cutting cabbage in the kitchen. "I don't know exactly what happened, but it looks like it's very serious."
"Alas, a friend of Zhengfeng passed away. I heard that he was also an elder of Chen Yuan."
"Is that so... old man or what?"
"do not know."
The couple exchanged a few words.
Chen Yuan also understood that they were going to pick him up to attend the funeral.
"When will it arrive?"
"It'll only take about ten minutes, so we can have lunch together."
"okay."
Chen Yuan nodded. He really didn’t know who else he had besides the Chen family’s grandparents, aunts, and cousins.
Jiang Zhengfeng never mentioned it.
A long time ago, he heard from Chen's father that his biological father had a very tragic experience and a particularly dramatic fate, so he told Chen Yuan not to be willful and make his biological father angry even if he went to Jiang Zhengfeng.
In short, Jiang Zhengfeng's life is not easy either.
It's quite appropriate to attend a funeral in such a snowy weather.
Chen Yuan held the TV remote control in his hand, and suddenly felt that he actually didn't understand his father.
……
A low-key black sedan, loaded with snow, was parked downstairs in the community.
The driver got out of the car, held up an umbrella, and opened the door for Jiang Zhengfeng.
"Okay, I'll go upstairs first, you wait a moment."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, would you like to put on your coat?"
"No, it's warm upstairs."
Jiang Zhengfeng raised his watch and looked at the time.
It is now twelve o'clock noon, and I should be able to bring Chen Yuan to Lanjing before six o'clock in the evening.
