“Full?”

Fang Xia’s words came out almost as soon as Lin Xingqing put down her chopsticks. Lin Xingqing tried to swallow the food that had just reached her throat, then bravely looked at Fang Xia.

“Full.”

This was the third time Lin Xingqing had put her chopsticks down. Every prior time she had put her chopsticks down,without understanding why, Lin Xingqing had been counseled by Fang Xia’s unclear words and in an instant her two words became: “Not yet.”

So, from the restrained seven or eight bites to nine to the present ten, which was more than a little bit of food, even if she wanted to console Fang Xia again, she couldn’t eat anymore.

Lin Xingqing didn’t know if her low performance was too obvious, as Fang Xia did a good job sweeping the table clean, eating more than half the dishes there. Fang Xia’s eyes turned slightly and she said:

“Auntie Li, clean up.”

“Yes.”

Auntie Li answered her call, and after a few minutes Lin Xingqing could hardly hear the sound of putting dishes and chopsticks away. The table was now clear and fresh.

Even though Lin Xingqing has not adapted to sitting when full, when she feels full and she can finally stop eating, everything else becomes tolerable.

Lin Xingqing hadn’t eaten so much in a long time. At first, it was because a woman’s heaven does not make beauty. (1) Later she had no appetite because of her father’s accident. She would randomly take a bite and count that as eating. Now, she felt her slightly round belly and leaned back. For a while, she felt complicated.

Auntie Li, who before that had only moved to the side, now retreated with the servant who had been cleaning up. Lin Xingqing and Fan Xia were left in the living room. Lin Xingqing’s eyes were slightly lowered, and her curled hair that had been untied at some point in time was hanging by the side of her face, making her face look more delicate. With a light blue T-shirt on top and light grey pants on the bottom, when she leaned back slightly the T-shirt showed a small section of skin. At that moment, her long, white fingertips were gently rubbing in a fixed direction. That action was hidden and silent, but nevertheless she couldn’t help but stop. (2)

Fang Xiahad been looking at Lin Xingqing, but didn’t know when she would stop. It was a long time before the fingertip movement halted and in the secluded place, a throat moved quietly.

The month had already begun. At the moment, those two people were sitting in a pair with an unspoken, tacit understanding.

“Hu~”

At last, there was a little relief in her belly. Although it was only a little bit, it was enough to make Lin Xingqing sigh contentedly. The breath was small and light, but it was loud enough to be heard in the quiet room.

“Squeak~”

With the sound of a chair being moved, Lin Xingqing’s body stiffened slightly. She peaked up and saw that Fang Xia, who had been sitting upright, had now stood up. In the bright light, while wearing a suit of formal clothing, Fang Xia’s eyes had an indescribable depth and seriousness that would make people unconsciously feel guilty.

But what had she done to be guilty?

It was obviously an unsolved problem, but when Fang Xia walked like that toward Lin Xingqing, her eyes were looking neither high nor low, Ling Xingqing blinked. Looking at the eyes that were moving closer and closer, and looking more and more deep and serene, she couldn’t think of anything. Her brain was blank.

It was like two people meeting each other. They were so close she could feel the slight chill from Fang Xia. It was like the flowery fragrance of a perfume, a strong declaration of existence.

“Fang Xia, I…”

Lin Xingqing is not a person who is bad with words. While her father is very capable, she wanted to share his burden, which let her learn eloquence early. However, since the beginning of the meeting she seems to have been suppressed by Fang Xi, so much so that while she clearly thought of what to say at the moment, after calling her name in the beginning, the rest of her words would not come out.

“Go for a walk, it’s still early.”

Fang Xia’s eyes quickly turned back and the body standing quietly in front of Lin Xingqing began to move. When the words sounded in her ears, Fang Xia had already moved towards the door. In the bright light, Fang Xia’s posture was straight and firm.

Lin Xingqing felt her stomach and exhaled deeply, her eyes quivering slightly, and answered softly, “Un,”. Just like Fang Xia, she got up and put the chair back carefully, then slowly followed.

***

Fang Xia’s economic conditions must be very good. Although she had no idea about Fang Xia’s identity before promising the contract, Lin Xingqing still knew nothing about it. When Fang Xia paid the one million dollar medical expense bill without hesitation, then went to the best hospital ward and got the best nurses, Lin Xingqing had come up with such a guess.

However, after Fang Xia walked out of the super large house which was beyond her expectations, Lin Xingqing felt that her speculation should be corrected again.

Fang Xia’s economic conditions are not good, but very good!

In Z City, there were not only big houses, but also separate gardens. All kinds of flowers, plants, and trees were there, with an aesthetic such that even laymen could feel extremely comfortable looking at them. Let alone this walk, it’s a huge area that couldn’t be completely seen in half an hour alone.

It was already night, but the occasional crisp birdsong, the tangy floral fragrance, the warmth from the breeze, and the appropriate lighting, made it a really nice walk.

From the time they walked out of the house, one had been in the front and the other behind, it could be considered almost zero communication. But as they went deeper and deeper and different landscapes were shown to their eyes, Lin Xingqing couldn’t help but relax.

This flower should be hard to raise. It’s said that it needs proper nutrition and water. If it’s watered too much, it will die. If it’s not watered enough, it will die. But it looks so good. The florist who works here must have done a lot of research on flowers. I don’t know if he can teach me a trick if we meet later.

This tree is so green and the leaves are so much. It’s said that it is good at attracting insects, but there don’t seem to be any bugs.

This…

Lin Xingqing always had a secret hobby. That is, she likes flowers, plants, and trees. Because of her father, she had to bury her hobby, but in this situation it came out completely uncontrolled. It was so powerful she even forgot about Fang Xia for a moment.

Fang Xia had been quiet the whole time, but at that moment she looked at Lin Xingqing’s curly hair flying in the wind. As if there was starlight surging from between her eyebrows and eyes, her fingers moved slightly and her steps stopped for the first time.

“Thump!”

Most of her mind was on the flowers and plants so Lin Xingqing, who was walking without thinking, bumped into Fang Xia. Her voice didn’t sound, but she hadn’t expected such a thing would happen. Lin Xingqing’s eyes widened slightly and her lips opened a bit, she looked totally frightened.

At that moment, they were very close to each other, and Fang Xia’s fingers moved slowly. Finally, she lifted her hand slowly and bushed it against Lin Xingqing’s long hair.

“Lin Xingqing, it’s not early. Go rest.”

The words were very calm, but when those words rang out, Lin Xingqing even forgot about Fang Xia’s fingers that brushed her forehead.

Rest = sleep

And she and Fang Xia are married, naturally they should share a bed.

Same! Bed! Same! Pillow!

The author has something to say:

You guys don’t leave any comments, no comments, no comments….

Do you see my expression of infinite resentment?

It’s not easy to see me every day, you still don’t give me any *mumble~*

Translator’s Note:

Hiii, my summer semester started today and one of my classes is supposed to be really hard(like it’s the reason some people drop my major). The updates are probably going to be at least a week apart from now on, sorry :///

(1) The line the author uses is “最初是女人的天□□美”. I’m assuming 天□□美 is supposed to reference 天不作美 which means “heaven does not make beauty”, so she’s saying that she ate less to maintain her figure/beauty.

(2) The author says “却是让人忍不住贮足”, I think 贮足 is a typo and she meant to say 驻足, as they sound the same. 贮足 doesn’t really make sense and would meant “storage foot”, while 驻足 means “stop” so… yeah.
