Chapter 5 Wife
Li Zhuangsheng and Li Xiuyu returned home. Hu Mengke, who heard the commotion, walked out with a smile: "Brother-in-law, come back...ah, Sister Xiuyu is here too."

"Ah."

Li Xiuyu nodded, glanced at him, noticed a slight change in the other person's face, and then frowned without any trace.

Even if she is only wearing a home nursing clothes, she can't conceal Hu Mengke's innate grace and grace, and there is also a sickly look between her eyebrows. In terms of appearance, she is not inferior to her sister in the slightest.

Li Xiuyu has always disliked Hu Mengke. The fundamental reason is not that he has been living in her brother's house and being supported by her brother, but because of his experience.

Hu Mengke was considered a "child star" back then. When he was in elementary school, he participated in a children's special drama. It's not a big production, and its ratings aren't as high as those of Balala Little Demon Fairy, but it was a small hit for a while.

Li Xiuyu was in high school at the time and heard his classmates mention Hu Mengke.

The small county is so big. Not counting the towns and villages under its jurisdiction, the population of the main urban area is less than 200,000. A celebrity can spread quickly, not to mention that the child star is the younger sister of the school's "uncrowned school beauty" Hu Mengdie .

Of course, Hu Mengke's participation in the special photo drama was just accidental, and he did not follow the path of showbiz. Their ordinary family did not have the corresponding background and resources. Apart from anything else, who of those famous child stars were born in big cities like BJ, Shanghai?

Therefore, Hu Mengke was only talked about for a while in the county town, and soon became quiet. Few people would take the initiative to mention her. Ordinary people don't know what happened to her later, they just know that there is such a person.

Until a few years ago, a reporter from an unknown media company remembered such a person and made a report on Hu Mengke's subsequent life. The report said that Hu Mengke had been addicted to illusory glory ever since he started acting. Her grades plummeted. After the high school entrance examination, she only went to a technical secondary school and stopped studying before graduating. She could only work in a milk tea shop... which made her appear in the public eye again.

The report used him as a negative example, and its basis was still the old-fashioned issues of children's family education. However, combined with Hu Mengke's "contrasting" life, it still caused a lot of discussion on the Internet. Many people sighed that they didn't expect that they had such a person in their childhood.

Li Xiuyu had read this report and did not know Hu Mengke at that time. He felt a little emotional about his life experiences, but he did not sympathize with him and did not care much.

What's more, the news media is famous for being able to make up anything just for traffic and eyeballs. Who knows what the specific situation of Hu Mengke is?
Later, Li Zhuangsheng and Hu Mengdie dated and got married, and she learned about Hu Mengke's current situation. The other party has been dating a college student in the past two years. The other party has been taking exams at home for two years after graduation with no results, and the woman is pregnant out of wedlock...

Everyone knows what happened next.

Originally, Hu Mengke had nothing to do with Li Xiuyu, and she didn't care, but now that he was living with Li Zhuangsheng, this had to make Li Xiuyu worried.

In any case, how can a technical secondary school girl who couldn't pass high school be a serious person... It's not that there are no serious people, but in her stereotype, the probability of being not serious is too high. What's more, the other party didn't even graduate from a technical secondary school.

Although Hu Mengke seems to be honest and honest now, Li Xiuyu has always been worried that the other party will "lead bad" Li Zhuangsheng, or cause Li Zhuangsheng, a fool, to suffer a big loss.

Especially since Hu Mengke has a face that is "especially able to seduce men", Li Zhuangsheng, that sultry pervert, may not be able to control it.

Of course, at present, Li Xiuyu is only on guard in his heart and does not have any embarrassment on the surface. In any case, the other party did not show any deviant behavior at this moment, and Li Xiuyu was not someone who liked to talk nonsense without any basis.

"Well, we are back. Why did you come out? Go back to the house quickly and don't catch a cold."

Li Zhuangsheng smiled and waved to Hu Mengke, his tone as gentle and caring as ever.

"It's okay, I just came out to get a glass of water."

Hu Mengke took out the cup from the glass cabinet with a smile and poured hot water for Li Zhuangsheng and Li Xiuyu first.

"Your sister hasn't come back yet?" Li Zhuangsheng asked casually.

"Well, not yet." Hu Mengke lowered his eyes, handed the teacups to Li Zhuangsheng and Li Xiuyu in turn, and reminded with a smile, "It's a bit hot."

"Okay, thank you. After you finish drinking the water, go back to the room early." Li Zhuangsheng took the cup of water with both hands with a smile.

"It's okay. Brother-in-law, the clothes you bought for me are quite thick. In fact, it's not cold at all."

Hu Mengke pursed his lips and pulled his collar, blinked, nodded slightly to Li Xiuyu, and returned to the bedroom with his thermos cup. Li Zhuangsheng wanted to follow her in and take a look at Xuanxuan, but then he thought about it, so he decided not to go, so he turned around and walked into the study.

The study was his private space. Except for Hu Mengdie and Hu Mengke occasionally cleaning the room, only Li Xiuyu would come in and play so carelessly.

The air conditioner was turned on. Li Xiuyu sat down on the small bed, grinning, and said in an incomprehensible tone: "This is the first time I know that you bought her clothes."

Li Zhuangsheng turned on the computer and stretched back: "I bought it online. It's also convenient for breastfeeding Xuanxuan."

"You are so kind to your sister-in-law, so gentle!" Li Xiuyu said in a strange tone.

"Am I not gentle to you? Today's meal is more expensive than her two sets of nursing clothes!" Li Zhuangsheng turned on the indoor humidifier and turned around to glare.

Who is this? It seems that I am partial to someone else's sister. I am really heartless.

"I'm not the only one eating. I can count on a quarter at most." The temperature in the study room rose rapidly. Li Xiuyu took off his down jacket, lay on the small bed, turned his phone sideways, and started the game.

"Then if it wasn't your partner, how could I treat her to dinner? Why do you still take three-quarters of it!" Li Zhuangsheng skillfully opened steam, glanced back, and said in a disdainful tone, "I play games as soon as I come here. Mobile games are so Is it fun? I have so many books here, you can’t read more to enrich yourself!”

Li Xiuyu looked up at the study. The space of about ten square meters, except for a computer desk and a bed, was almost full of books. There were even bookcases on the wall above the bed. The space was not wasted at all. The two of them stayed in it. It all felt a bit crowded.

There are quite a lot of books here, with the largest number of ancient books, ranging from classics of hundreds of schools of thought to poetry anthologies, from the First Four Histories to Cefu Yuangui... followed by modern historical research monographs, as well as sociology, psychology and various miscellaneous books .

There are also "leisure books" that can be easily read, but they are very few. The one that Li Xiuyu can read the most is a set of "One Thousand and One Nights" that is called "complete". If there is nothing, it can be read as a fairy tale.

Li Zhuangsheng seems to particularly like "complete" books. Although Li Xiuyu doesn't know what "complete" means, he has shown off to her many times that all the books he bought are "complete", including "Jin Ping Mei".

She read "Jin Ping Mei" because of its fame, but in the end she didn't read it.

But it didn't matter, because Li Zhuangsheng didn't look any further. For many years, the bookmark has been stuck to Chapter 27, and I don’t know what this chapter is about.

Retracting his gaze, Li Xiuyu retorted, "You've spent nearly 100,000 yuan on so many books. How many of them have you read yourself? Every time I come here, I either watch you play games or watch erotic animations!"

"That's just an ordinary Japanese anime, a normal TV series!" Li Zhuangsheng quickly defended himself. When watching abnormal anime, he usually locks the door first.

Li Xiuyu couldn't help but click his tongue and said with contempt, "What kind of normal TV series has girls showing their underwear all the time? You're addicted to these perverted cartoons all the time, that's why you can't have a girlfriend!"

"Ah, yes, yes..."

Li Zhuangsheng knew he was no match for his opponent, so he simply avoided the fight and pretended he heard nothing.

Anyway, I have a wife now, so I just treat it as listening to a dog barking.

"Have you told your family you came here?"

Li Zhuangsheng suddenly remembered something and frowned slightly.

"I told you on WeChat, they asked me to come more often!" Li Xiuyu said lazily, "Do you think everyone is like you, so naive?"

"Well, I understand what you mean, but..."

"People like you are the kind of 'good men' who will take the initiative to leave the house when getting divorced, leaving the house that your parents have worked hard for decades to buy to the woman!"

"I'm not stupid!"

Li Zhuangsheng laughed and cursed, maybe he really had such idiotic thoughts a few years ago, but after the version updates on the Internet, even Li Zhuangsheng would not be so stupid.

If you use your own savings to be a "man", you are just a turtle. If you use your parents' savings to be a "man", it means you have a shrinking brain.

Besides, my wife is pretty and gentle and doesn’t fight. Only idiots would divorce her, Li Zhuangsheng thought.

The two of them were playing their own games in the study without disturbing each other, but after a while Li Xiuyu felt bored and stood up and lay down beside Li Zhuangsheng's chair to look at his screen.

"What about those porn games of yours? Don't you want to play them?"

"I've already said that it's a galgame. I'm playing the plot... and for the material of the novel, not for that kind of thing. Why do you always speak so harshly?"

Li Xiuyu snorted disdainfully and raised his hand to pick up the figurine on the table.

I heard that otakus often have a wall of action figures that are priceless, but Li Zhuangsheng clearly does not qualify as an otaku. Although he has a good financial condition, he only has one in all these years.

A girl with white wings and red hair, maybe some kind of angel character... What's her name? Oh, right, Icarus, there is a person with the same name in Greek mythology.

Li Xiuyu fiddled with the figurine and suddenly remembered something: "I remember you had one before, with a bell around the neck..."

"Don't move, this is a out-of-print copy, don't damage it!" Li Zhuangsheng stared at the screen, not daring to be distracted, and gave a verbal reminder.

"If you break it, I'll pay you!"

Li Xiuyu was dissatisfied and annoyed.

"I've already told you this is a rare model. It's hard to buy it even if you have money. Do you understand?"

"Tsk, then I'll cosplay this for you, okay?"

Li Xiuyu spoke impatiently and heavily, but he still gently put down the figure in his hand.

She is not interested in the two-dimensional world, but she has actually done a cosplay once.

During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, Li Zhuangsheng wanted to go to the next city to attend a comic exhibition, but since it was his first time and he was a little shy, he begged Li Xiuyu to go with him. Li Xiuyu reluctantly agreed and also agreed to cosplay his favorite character.

Li Xiuyu didn't know who she was going to cosplay, she only knew that Li Zhuangsheng had bought a cosplay costume online and looked very happy. She thought she was going to cosplay some beautiful lady, the one printed on the pillow that Li Zhuangsheng hugged when he was crazy, but this bastard actually asked her to cosplay a handsome male character!

From then on, Li Xiuyu swore that she would never accompany Li Zhuangsheng to a comic convention again unless he knelt down and licked her toes.

"Haha, are you qualified to cosplay my wife?"

Li Zhuangsheng sneered, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, and he expressed his disdain for his sister mercilessly.

"...Huh? Are you calling me?"

The door to the study was suddenly opened, and a soft sound came from the doorway, as gentle as a breeze blowing through flowers.

"Wow!"

Li Zhuangsheng was so frightened that he jumped up from his seat.

"Hoho, launch yourself."

Li Xiuyu sneered.
