Fang Yusheng heard the sound of the car wheels rubbing against the ground.
In the Fang family yard, only his old car could make such a terrible sound.
He scattered all the cat food in his hands. The stray cats surrounding him dispersed and ran to pick up the cat food. As Fang Yusheng stood up, he heard the sound of the car door opening. The sound of footsteps followed, and these footsteps stopped a meter in front of him.
Qiao Jiusheng tilted her head, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face. She asked Fang Yusheng, “What are you doing here? Waiting for me?”
Fang Yusheng’s lips twitched as he replied, “Feeding the cats.” His voice was calm.
Qiao Jiusheng said, “Rude!” She glanced at the stray cats that were snatching the cat food and asked Fang Yusheng, “Where did these stray cats come from?”
“The mountains have many wild abandoned cats.”
“So many?” Qiao Jiusheng counted. She could see more than ten of them. Picking up a small bag of cat food by the stone staircase, she fed the wild cats. As she fed them, she said, “Brother Tiger also raised a cat in the past. Later on, that cat got together with the female cat next door and gave birth to a baby. After that, the cat did not return home. That’s why you have to sterilize your pet. If you raise it otherwise, it would become someone else’s.”
Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows and humbly asked, “Who is Brother Tiger?”
“My big brother,” Qiao Jiusheng explained.
Fang Yusheng was stunned. “Why is Qiao Sen called Tiger?”
“My mother is from the Northeast. She says that the more lowly nicknames we give to the children, the easier it is to raise them. All three of us have lowly, casual nicknames.”
“That’s why your big brother is called Tiger.”
“No, he’s called First Tiger.”
How down-to-earth.
“What about your sister?” Fang Yusheng asked again.
Qiao Jiusheng paused before saying, “Second Black, sometimes called Second Girl.”
Could it be that Qiao Jiuyin is very dark?
In that case, Qiao Jiusheng’s skin should be quite dark as well. Fang Yusheng could not help but become curious about his wife’s appearance.
After a moment of silence, he again asked, “What about you?”
When Fang Yusheng asked this question, he received an expected silence. With a chuckle, he happily asked, “Could it be that your nickname is too lowly, and you’re too embarrassed to say it?”
Qiao Jiusheng’s face turned red.
“Let me guess! Don’t tell me your nickname is Third Idiot?”
“Get lost!”
Fang Yusheng did not get angry. Instead, he heartily laughed.
Staring at Fang Yusheng’s bright smile, Qiao Jiusheng thought, Beauty is like a blade!
She awkwardly said, “I’m not a fool. My nickname is Third Girl.” Qiao Jiusheng’s voice became softer as she spoke.
Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows. He felt that this girl was lying.
Aunt Jin was cleaning the vegetable garden with a small hoe. From afar, she could hear Young Master Yusheng laughing. She could not help but raise her head to look at the door. When she saw the grand smile on Young Master Yusheng’s face, her eyes turned red. How many years had it been since she saw Young Master Yu smiling so happily?
“Who doesn’t have a nickname? Don’t you think so?” Qiao Jiusheng glanced at the smiling Fang Yusheng and quickly changed the topic. “Have you eaten lunch?”
Knowing that she was trying to change the topic, Fang Yusheng left the matter of the nickname. He stopped smiling and answered, “Yes, Aunt Jin left you some food.”
“Oh, then I’ll go eat.”
Qiao Jiusheng passed the cat food to Fang Yusheng and entered the house.
In the evening, after taking a shower, Qiao Jiusheng changed into a set of pajamas with long sleeves and pants. She crawled to her spot and sat cross-legged.
A bag of chips lay in her hands, and she ate them while watching a movie.
Fang Yusheng came out of the shower. He was still drying his hair when he heard the sound of Qiao Jiusheng secretly eating. His face turned cold as he pursed his lips and warned Qiao Jiusheng. “I’ve told you many times not to eat in bed.”
Qiao Jiusheng quickly hid all the chips in the first drawer of the bedside table.
She then sat upright and looked at Fang Yusheng, who was drying his hair.
Fang Yusheng had worn loose pajamas with a low collar. His symmetrical collar bones were long and slender, and he looked like a sickly beauty. Qiao Jiusheng’s gaze paused on his collarbone and slightly-protruding Adam’s apple for two seconds. She then stubbornly asked him, “Which eye of yours saw me eat it?”
“…”
Is she bullying me because I’m blind?
Fang Yusheng did not say anything. He walked straight to the bedside table and bent down to open the drawer. He took out all the snacks inside, opened the window, and threw them down from the second floor.
His actions were swift.
Qiao Jiusheng was dumbfounded.
“Fang Yusheng, how dare you throw my snacks?” Qiao Jiusheng reprimanded as she ran toward the window. Throwing a girl’s snacks was akin to stabbing her in the heart. Qiao Jiusheng was so furious that her face turned red.
Fang Yusheng closed the window very calmly. He turned his head and expressionlessly said to Qiao Jiusheng, “I even dare to throw you out. Do you believe me?”
“I…”
Of course, he does.
Qiao Jiusheng instantly fell silent. Even the air became silent.
She secretly glanced at the snacks in the yard downstairs and snorted before returning to her bed.
