After Escaping Marriage [GL] - Chapter 91

Yu Qingtang unlocked the screen.

[Cheng Zhanxi]: I’m done, I’m going home now, so sleepy

The time in the upper left corner of the screen shows: 1:37.

Yu Qingtang held the phone in both hands, her fingertips landed on the virtual keyboard, and she typed out a few words like flying butterflies. They stayed quietly in the chat box, showing the owner’s impatient mood. Yu Qingtang looked at them, and slowly deleted word by word, staring at the blank input box in a trance.

Three in the morning.

Cheng Zhanxi: [Good night]

Yu Qingtang took a look at the phone and turned off the bedroom light.

Cheng Zhanxi slept until noon on New Year’s Eve, grabbed the phone as soon as he woke up, unlocked it, and stayed on the chat interface before going to bed.

Yu Qingtang sent her good morning at seven in the morning.

The corners of Cheng Zhanxi’s lips curled up, and she said good afternoon to her, and excitedly went to the dressing room to take pictures of the clothes she was going to wear today.

A long red dress hung in a glass wardrobe, embroidered with intricate and delicate patterns.

Cheng Zhanxi put on her skirt after washing and went down the curved stairs. Cheng Yuanxi sat on the sofa and used the Ipad to read financial news. When she heard the sound, she turned around and looked at her sister’s figure, her eyes stopped.

Cheng Yuanxi stood up.

The two looked at each other, the brother and sister had a tacit understanding for many years, and Cheng Zhanxi immediately slowed down his steps in cooperation.

When there were the last few steps left, Cheng Yuanxi, who was wearing a shirt and trousers, stood on the flat ground at the bottom of the stairs, with one hand behind his back and the other stretched forward, bowing slightly politely.

Cheng Zhanxi put his hand on the palm of the handsome young man, lifted the skirt gently with one hand, and walked down.

Cheng Yuanxi: “Good noon, the most dazzling pearl in the capital, the beautiful princess.”

Cheng Zhanxi saluted the hem of the skirt he lifted, nodded and smiled: “Good noon.”

After that, she put down her skirt, covered the slippers she was wearing, and asked, “Is the meal ready? I’m a little hungry.”

Cheng Yuanxi retracted his hand, glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and said, “Come on, Aunt Yun has been busy for an hour.”

“Where are your parents?”

“After breakfast, I went upstairs again and never came down.”

The brothers and sisters exchanged glances, raised their eyebrows, tacit understanding.

Cheng Zhanxi stuffed his phone with him and said, “Take a picture for me.”

Cheng Zhanxi took off his slippers, walked to the carpet in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room on the first floor, and stepped on it with bare feet.

Cheng Yuanxi held up her mobile phone and watched her constantly adjusting her posture and angle in the camera.

“Crack.”

“Crack.”

The sound of two cameras sounded in succession, Cheng Zhanxi stomped his foot gently, turned back and said, “I’m not ready yet.”

Cheng Yuanxi said without changing his face: “It’s so beautiful, my brother couldn’t hold back.”

Cheng Zhanxi: “…”

Cheng Yuanxi said: “It will be sent to our family group later, and your parents will definitely praise you as a fairy.”

Cheng Zhanxi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

You can’t blame Cheng Zhanxi for being too confident in her appearance. She occasionally feels that there is something wrong with her, and her family clearly opposes it, no! No one in the world is perfect except my daughter/sister! When she was a child, she changed her teeth. When she lost her front teeth, she was very ugly. She cried and refused to go to school. Of course, the front teeth grew back later, and the Cheng family used other methods to coax her back to normal aesthetics.

Cheng Zhanxi: “Don’t shoot first, wait until I’ve agreed you can shoot.”

Cheng Yuanxi put down the phone, looked at her and said, “Okay.”

After about ten minutes of tossing, Cheng Zhanxi pulled the hem of his long skirt so that it fell just right, just revealing the snow-white instep, turned his head and said to her brother, “Okay.”

Cheng Yuanxi sighed silently in his heart, raised his phone and took a picture.

He stepped forward and showed Cheng Zhanxi the photo.

In a big red ankle-length dress, long curly chestnut hair is casually pushed to the front side of the body, tall and slender, with a slender waist, half of the exposed ankle is slender and delicate, the back of the foot is snow-white, stepping on soft wool on the carpet.

There is a lake and water outside the floor-to-ceiling window. She stands barefoot in front of the window, and the blue waves of Yingying cast a distant filter on her back.

Cheng Zhanxi looked at the scenery outside the window and hesitated, “Should I go out and shoot?”

Cheng Yuanxi dispelled her thoughts in one sentence.

“It’s cold outside.”

“Yes.” Cheng Zhanxi said, “When the weather warms up.”

Cheng Yuanxi said, “Send the photo to the group later.”

Cheng Zhanxi lowered his head to operate the phone, smiled and said, “Okay.”

Cheng Yuanxi sat back on the sofa and picked up the Ipad again. The phone on the coffee table vibrated quickly. Cheng Yuanxi opened the group of four and saw two photos.

two? ? ?

Cheng Yuanxi opened his eyes wide and checked back and forth several times. It was indeed two, the two he took on his own initiative after Cheng Zhanxi hadn’t adjusted it properly, but the last one didn’t.

Cheng Yuanxi put down the phone in a complicated mood.

Cheng Zhanxi sent the rest of the carefully photographed photo to Yu Qingtang, and just after it was sent out for more than ten seconds, she quickly long-pressed to withdraw it. Repeatedly check whether your photos are perfect in the album, and finally re-select to send, and let out a sigh of relief.

She sat in the white reclining chair beside the carpet, holding her mobile phone in both hands, waiting for Yu Qingtang’s reply, smiling inexplicably from time to time.

Aunt Yun called for dinner.

Cheng Zhanxi got out of his own world, put his mobile phone on the coffee table, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Cheng Yi and Song Qingrou came down from the second floor. Seeing Cheng Zhanxi who came out after washing his hands, Song Qingrou was taken aback and said, “Where did this fairy come from? How did it land in our house?”

Cheng Zhanxi was also shocked: “I didn’t see you when I went down to earth. Which palace in the sky are you from? The audience fairy said that Fairy Chang’e is the most beautiful, isn’t it from Guanghan Palace?”

Song Qingrou didn’t hold back: “Hahahaha.”

Halfway through laughing, he touched the corner of his eyes and said, “No, no, I’m going to have wrinkles.”

Cheng Yi said, “I have several wrinkles. You are getting younger and younger. Will people say that we are father and daughter if this goes on.”

Song Qingrou hit him on the arm, her eyes curved into crescents.

The family smiled and sat down at the table with delicious meals in front of them.

***

Sicheng.

Yu Qingtang was wearing a plaid apron and was busy in the kitchen, with various processed ingredients on the countertop.

The lively laughter came from the living room, which was strange and far away, turning this place into a small world.

Yu Ci has a younger brother, who is Yu Qingtang’s uncle. With the help of Wei Tingyu, my uncle settled in Haishi and brought his family back to his hometown for the New Year. My uncle has a pair of children, both of whom are at school age. As soon as he entered the door this morning, his grandparents called out obediently, making the second old man happy, and Yu Qingtang’s grandfather laughed until his eyes were almost gone.

The uncle pointed to Yu Qingtang next to him and said, “Call me sister.”

The siblings looked at each other, but they were polite, but they were obviously unfamiliar: “Sister.”

When Yu Qingtang came to Sicheng, her uncle and aunt were already working in Haishi, and they only saw each other once a year. Yu Qingtang was blind again, and there was really no impression in her mind.

Yu Qingtang looked at the couple in front of her, and said plainly but not rudely: “Uncle, aunt.”

The uncle looked at her with a polite smile, and said in greeting, “I heard that you are now a teacher?”

Yu Qingtang said “um”.

My uncle said, “It’s good for girls to be teachers and be stable.”

Yu Qingtang said again, “En.”

The conversation between the uncle and nephew ended here. The uncle entered the mourning hall and put incense sticks on the sister, and went out to talk to the grandfather and Fang Wenjiao. The aunt put down the things she brought and reminded the two children not to run around and watch TV honestly.

Yu Qingtang went into the kitchen to cook lunch.

There was a variety show in the living room. Uncle’s two children laughed when they saw it. Yu Qingtang’s grandfather and grandmother smiled lovingly. Fang Wenjiao asked her grandchildren, “Would you like some snacks? Grandma has a lot in her room.”

The two children were fascinated and did not hear Fang Wenjiao’s question.

Fang Wenjiao propped herself up on the sofa, took out a large bag of snacks in the room, and went to them to ask.

The two children took two bags each from the bag, and said politely, “Thank you, grandma.”

Fang Wenjiao’s wrinkled hands touched her grandson’s head and the top of her granddaughter’s hair.

Aunt said, “Mom, don’t get used to them too much.”

Fang Wenjiao disagreed and said, “How do you call it a habit? I can only see my grandchildren once a year, so can’t I give you something delicious?”

Yu Qingtang’s grandfather said, “That’s right.” His smile faded, and he said to his son seriously, “If you’re not busy with work, take your child back to have a look. Your mother and I haven’t lived for a few years.”

My uncle even claimed yes, but said no, my father would definitely live a hundred years.

Yu Qingtang’s grandfather said, “I’m still a hundred years old, and I’m about to die of anger. Forget it, I won’t talk about this for the New Year’s Eve. How many days do you plan to stay this time?”

The uncle said: “We go to work on the seventh day of the first year, and we leave on the sixth day of the new year.”

The two children looked at each other and saw the sigh in each other’s eyes.

Grandparents have nothing to play at home, and they have to stay for so long.

Fang Wenjiao said happily: “Okay, the room is all cleaned up.”

The three generations are in the same house, harmonious and happy.

Yu Qingtang opened the kitchen door with an indifferent expression, interrupting the laughter in the living room: “It’s time to eat.”

The family got up one after another, and the two children came over after watching the show. My uncle rebuked me, and my grandfather said something about my uncle in return.

Xuanxuan, a boy from my uncle’s house, asked, “Is there a drink? I want a drink.”

The girl Tingting said to him: “I know how to drink.”

Yu Qingtang put down the bowl of soup in his hand and said, “Yes, I’ll go get it.”

Xuanxuan shook his legs while sitting in the chair, looking very happy. The uncle sat opposite him and whispered, “Remember to thank your sister.”

The boy said, “Got it.”

Yu Qingtang brought drinks and cups and received two words of thanks.

The uncle and aunt on the banquet praised her cooking skills, and it was delicious. If you didn’t know the relationship between them, you would think that Yu Qingtang was the nanny of the house.

Several people had to take a nap after the meal. Yu Qingtang took the two children upstairs after washing the dishes, pointed to the two adjoining rooms that had been tidied up in advance, and said, “The elder sister’s on the left and the younger brother’s on the right.”

The two children politely said again: “Thank you cousin.”

Yu Qingtang turned around and went back to the room.

The siblings looked at her back and touched the goose bumps on their arms unconsciously. The cousin was beautiful, but she was too cold.

Anyway, I only see each other once a year, and it’s good to get through these few days.

Yu Qingtang locked the door, walked to the desk, and picked up the phone on it.

A new message notification is displayed on the screen.

Yu Qingtang clicked in and saw a red number next to Cheng Zhanxi’s portrait on the top, and his heart suddenly became very quiet.

The exhaustion from getting up in the morning and now is also swept away. She didn’t rush to open it. She washed her hands first, simply took a shower, changed into clean and comfortable pajamas, sat on the bed, and then went to see Cheng Zhanxi give her to her. What was posted.

Yu Qingtang’s brows and eyes softly entered Cheng Zhanxi’s chat box.

【Good afternoon, I’m awake】

[I slept too late yesterday, I didn’t get up for breakfast today, I’m so hungry]

[My mother said that she will wear new clothes this year, so she ordered a dress for me, red, I will take a picture for you]

【[Photo of the skirt]】

【How? Isn’t it very festive? 】

[I’ve changed, I’m going downstairs]

[System prompt: Cheng Zhanxi withdrew a message]

Yu Qingtang: “???”

Ten minutes later.

【Wrong click】

Next was a photo, Yu Qingtang clicked it and took a breath.

Her pupils were slightly enlarged, and she did not miss any detail, looking at the back of Cheng Zhanxi in the red dress with an open back in the photo.

The long hair was pulled from the back of the head to the front of the body, revealing a smooth and beautiful back, and the butterfly bones on both sides were slightly raised, and their wings were about to fly. The open line of the long skirt design extends all the way to the slender waist and tightens it to block the deeper scenery, making it **** and charming.

Yu Qingtang stared at the tight waistline in the photo, and then looked up at her snow-white back, slender and fair neck, and pearl earrings on her ears.

Cheng Zhanxi slept full in the morning and didn’t sleep at noon. Sitting at the desk in the study on the third floor, while reading a book, he set the screen of his mobile phone to always-on mode, and glanced at him from time to time.

After two or three hours of silence on the phone, a message popped up.

Yu Qingtang replied to her.

Cheng Zhanxi quickly picked up the phone.

Yu Qingtang: [Are you going out? 】

Cheng Zhanxi didn’t know what Yu Qingtang wanted to say for a while.

Cheng Zhanxi: [Don’t go out, eat New Year’s Eve dinner at home]

Yu Qingtang: [The skirt is beautiful]

Cheng Zhanxi pondered it for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he typed: [Doesn’t it look good when you go out? 】

In the bedroom on the second floor in the old town of Sicheng, the dim light covered Yu Qingtang’s reddish ears.

She lowered her head, bit her lower lip lightly, and typed: [It’s cold outside, add some clothes]

Cheng Zhanxi burst out laughing.

Yu Qingtang’s hand was still on the virtual keyboard, thinking about how to get past this later, the phone interface turned, and Cheng Zhanxi’s caller ID popped up.

Yu Qingtang took two breaths lightly before picking up: “Hello.”

Cheng Zhanxi wondered: “Why is your voice so small?”

“There’s someone at home.”

“Who?”

“There are four people in my uncle’s family.”

“Do you live upstairs?” Cheng Zhanxi remembered that Yu Qingtang’s old house was not big. There were three rooms on the second floor, and they were all very close.

“The child lives upstairs, two children.”

“Will it disturb you?”

“Okay.”

“How long will they live?”

“Let’s go on the sixth day.”

As soon as she asked and answered, Cheng Zhanxi heard from her words that her relationship with her uncle was not warm, so she didn’t mention it any more. Instead, he flirted with her: “You think my skirt looks good, so why don’t you let me go out?”

Yu Qingtang explained: “I didn’t let you go out, the weather is cold, you will catch a cold if you wear so little.”

Cheng Zhanxi said, “I’m going to a dinner party in two days. It has air conditioning and I won’t catch a cold. Can I wear this?”

Yu Qingtang thought for a while and said, “Didn’t you say that your mother made it for you in the new year? Wouldn’t it be bad for you to wear it to the dinner party? And…” She said in a lower voice, “It’s too late to dry after washing.”

Cheng Zhanxi opened his mouth and bit the back of his hand, so as not to let himself laugh out loud when Yu Qingtang spoke.

She said solemnly: “I still have similar open-back dresses, will you give me a reference when that time comes?”

Yu Qingtang gritted her teeth.

Does she have to…have to show her back? !

Yu Qingtang stopped talking.

Cheng Zhanxi: “Huh? What about people?”

Yu Qingtang breathed heavily into the microphone, expressing his anger silently.

Cheng Zhanxi laughed.

Her baby is becoming more and more jealous, which is a good sign.

Cheng Zhanxi said with a smile: “I lied to you, in fact, the banquet hall will be cold when the air conditioner is turned on. I will dress up to go to the banquet.”

Yu Qingtang slid down from the head of the bed and slid herself into the quilt from head to toe. She was wrapped in a warm and soft quilt, pretending that Cheng Zhanxi was holding her. “You…” Yu Qingtang hesitated.

“what?”

“nothing.”

“Nothing is what?” Cheng Zhanxi almost grasped the regularity of her speech. Every time she swallowed what she didn’t say, it was important.

Yu Qingtang was in the bed, her eyes were dark, she took a deep breath, opened her mouth several times, and finally said, “It’s okay.”

Cheng Zhanxi fell silent.

She was very worried about Yu Qingtang.

Even though they send messages and talk on the phone every day, the language is intimate, and occasionally they can hear Yu Qingtang’s unconscious love words, which makes Cheng Zhanxi seem to be floating in the sky. But she couldn’t see her expression or touch her body temperature, which always made Cheng Zhanxi feel unsteady and very uneasy.

Cheng Zhanxi looked at the calendar in the upper right corner of the desk, thinking and ticking on it with a pen.

After a long silence, Cheng Zhanxi put down the pen, exhaled, and said, “I’ll go back on the tenth day of the first day, okay?”

A tear slid from the corner of Yu Qingtang’s eyes.

“Okay.” There was no real emotion in her voice.

“There are ten days left, wait for me at home obediently.”

“Okay.” Yu Qingtang’s voice trembled, and another tear fell, seeping into her temples.

“I’ll be back, don’t worry.”

Yu Qingtang’s tears grew more and more, she wiped it away with her hands, and before she would let out her tears, she said, “I’m going to sleep, good afternoon.”

“good afternoon.”

Yu Qingtang held down the phone’s microphone, and hung up after a while, opened WeChat with tears in her eyes, and sent Cheng Zhanxi a good afternoon message again.

Cheng Zhanxi returned her a heart-warming emoji.

Putting down the phone, Cheng Zhanxi’s heart sank.

She seemed to hear Yu Qingtang cry just now, was it an illusion?

***

call out–

bang——

Clusters of fireworks soared into the sky and exploded in the silent night sky, pale silver, golden yellow, pale purple, a giant umbrella opened with a handle, blooming flowers, golden meteors dragging their long tails, one after another The ground crossed the sky, dotted with the bright night sky.

Yu Qingtang was the only one left in the house in the old town, and everyone else went out to watch the fireworks.

Yu Qingtang stood in the yard and raised his head, he could see the distant sky sometimes illuminated and sometimes turned to darkness.

Cheng Zhanxi sent her a message ten minutes ago that the family was going to the movies.

Yu Qingtang asked, didn’t you say you can’t go out? Cheng Zhanxi replied that she would watch it in the home theater on the basement floor, and then they might have a steaming session together, and the steaming room was next door. Therefore, it may not be possible to reply to her messages in time.

Cheng Zhanxi wants to accompany her family, and Yu Qingtang does not disturb her.

There was no moon on New Year’s Eve, Yu Qingtang was sitting at the desk on the second floor, looking out from the open window, there was only a dark and quiet night.

There was laughter of reunion from every household outside, and Yu Qingtang closed the window.

Cheng Zhanxi came out of the movie theater. Her parents and brother were still discussing the plot of the movie. She secretly looked at her phone and frowned. Yu Qingtang didn’t send her a message.

Today is New Year’s Eve, what is she doing? Are you out? Still at home?

Cheng Zhanxi sent a message and asked, put the phone in the locker room, changed clothes and went to the steam room.

The Cheng family’s work and rest are very healthy. For them, the New Year is a family doing some things together, and there is no need to keep watch. Cheng Yi and Song Qingrou went back to their room to sleep not long after they finished sweating. The siblings also went upstairs and went back to their own rooms.

Cheng Zhanxi turned on the phone, but there was still no reply in the chat box.

Sicheng.

The phone rang for a while.

A slender white hand stretched out from the quilt and fished out the mobile phone on the bedside table. While seeing the caller ID, the owner of the mobile phone woke up.

Yu Qingtang: “Hello.”

The voice coming from his ear had a slight nasal tone. Cheng Zhanxi stopped walking around the room, his eyebrows twitched, and he said, “Do you have a cold?”

Yu Qingtang rolled the quilt and said, “No, I’m sleeping.”

Cheng Zhanxi took down the phone and checked the time, it was less than eleven o’clock.

Cheng Zhanxi asked gently, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“No.” Yu Qingtang lowered his eyes and said, “I was sleepy early today.”

“How about grandpa and grandma?”

The voice just fell, the sound of going up and down the stairs, and the voice of the sister and brother of the uncle’s house talking and chatting.

Yu Qingtang said, “I’ve come back.”

“Did they go out?”

“Um.”

Cheng Zhanxi hung up the phone without warning.

The beeping busy tone beside his ear became faster and faster, Yu Qingtang’s heart contracted sharply, and a sharp pain came from the part of his heart, the deeper he drilled.

Before she could raise her hand to hold her heart, the phone rang again.

Cheng Zhanxi’s name is displayed above.

Yu Qingtang didn’t look carefully, and only after the connection was made did she realize that Cheng Zhanxi’s rosy face appeared on the screen.

Yu Qingtang was stunned.

Cheng Zhanxi tilted his head awkwardly, looked at Yu Qingtang on the screen through the slanted lens, and said with a smile, “What’s wrong?”

Yu Qingtang looked at her for a few seconds, pulled up the quilt, covered her face, and bit her lower lip.

With the phone on the pillow, Cheng Zhanxi’s voice kept coming out, gently flowing into her ears.

“Yu Qingtang?”

“Am I ugly? You don’t even look at me.”

“Let me see you.”

“Yu Qingtang.”

“Yu Tangtang.”

“silently.”

With the phone facing up, Yu Qingtang cautiously stretched out a hand from the bed, and blocked the camera with the pulp of her finger by taking advantage of the sight in the gap.

Cheng Zhanxi’s screen was suddenly dark except for the upper right corner.

She wiped the tears from her cheeks with her empty hands and typed: [Wait for me for a while]

Cheng Zhanxi on the screen blinked at the camera and said, “Okay.”

Yu Qingtang tucked the phone under the pillow, got up and went to the bathroom.

She washed her face and stood in front of the mirror until her eyes could see no trace of crying, and then she came back and picked up the phone again.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Yu Tangtang’s tears now will be replenished by drinking water at Cheng Chengzi’s place.
