Luo Shang Er simpleminded said “Sorry, horse’s butt to horse’s leg!” it made Wen Ze’s eyes twitched.
Shang Er, what… metaphor you used ah?
Luo Shang Er thought carefully, slightly embarrassed : “I didn’t mean that you mouth is horse’s butt, your chin is horse’s leg, an initially I wanted to flatter you but ended with Horse’s leg. Actually, my intention….”
Wen Ze lowered his head, suddenly he held Luo Shang Er’s face and then kissed her.
Overflowing with tenderness, deeply attached to each other, immersed in sweetness.
But, Wen Ze really realized that Luo Shang Er has been feeling so cold to the point she actually hardly to move her body.
His nose tip pressed onto her nose tip, they were closely as lips and teeth, helplessly he fumbled: “Silly girl, yaw dun bidt ma lip.” (Wen Ze: Shang Er, you don’t bite my lips.)
An initially Luo Shang Er wanted to learn from Wen Ze in replying his kisses, since she was really too absorbed with her intention, closed her eyes, heard a sentence, didn’t know why, the next thing Luo Shang Er kept on biting Wen Ze’s lips.
Wen Ze breathe gently, stretched out his hand and then touched his own cold lips.
It’s bleeding a bit.
Luo Shang Er knew she was doing in wrong way, hurrying said: “I am sorry, it has been sometime haven’t eaten any meat…”
For the entire process, Wen Ze was feeling so frustrated, thought, could it be he really that old?
Doesn’t have talent in doing romantic things, and even being bitten!
Think carefully the comparison between horse’s butt to pork, Wen Ze could not help not to look at the restless little girl beside him, a strong sense of powerless, and then continued to laugh and shake head, learn from the Beijing Opera: “My lovely little wife, you make me this angry is for what ah~~~~”
But Luo Shang Er as if her mind was occupied on something, looked so seriously like scholar asked: “Aren’t wife and wifey are the same thing?”
Wen Ze said without think: “Of course.”
“Then isn’t little wife is same with little wifey?”
…………..
After arrived at home, Luo Shang Er’s little face fluffy cutely, a warm room made her felt so comfortable and directly humming: “So warm, so warm!”
Wen Ze prepared the warm water, two of them were dashing to have warm bath, so that they didn’t feel that cold anymore.
Looking at Luo Shang Er who was walking out from the closet, Wen Ze who was waiting her on the bed, hugging onto her waist, buried his face on her clothes, pleaded: “Can you change to the sleepwear that I bought for you?”
Luo Shang Er’s hand touched his small hairs in his head, heart felt itchy: “Be good okay, this is already one o’clock in the morning, big sister wants to have a good sleep.”
Wen Ze with his sullen face stared at Luo Shang Er and said: “I have chosen it for long time. You see, bra can’t directly wear, so that I was hand washing it; afraid after you worn it would feel uncomfortable, I did also cut the price label carefully, didn’t even leave any line head…”
That hurtful expression….
Luo Shang Er fiercely, without doubt said: “I am the small one in here! I am the girl! Can’t you stop to act that sissy and also coquettishly to me, hubby!”
At moment Wen Ze didn’t move, the hand that hugged her body turned to be rigid.
This was her first time such clearly shouted at him.
What kind of feeling?
It strangely excited, moved, and even weirdly, after all this was something that unbelievable sensation because at the same time there was kind of thrilled enjoyment.
Luo Shang Er wondered: “What? Why aren’t you speaking?”
Wen Ze impassive lowered his head, then his head moved to in front of Luo Shang Er, murmured: “Say it once again.”
“What?”
“Hubby.”
Luo Shang Er laughed alike blooming flower: “Alright, wifey, let’s sleep, if not sleep then sky will be bright!”
What with what!
“Call me hubby!”
“En! Call me hubby!” Luo Shang Er by internationally ignoring his childish attitude, make a big yawning, and then fell asleep, leaving Wen Ze with his sullen face, he chattering with himself for long time and then slowly closed his pair of eyes.
The second day Luo Shang Er just knew, she has been encountering brutal fight, merciless setback and have an idea to revenge.
Early in the morning, there was huge changed in breakfast in Wen’s family, Luo Shang Er gazing at the foods which served on the table with hesitation.
Finally, she put down her chopstick, discourage said: “The Association of Animal would come to crack our house….”
Mother Wen with her smiling eyes: “Today early in the morning Xiao Ze said, you are craving meat! Come, everything must be given a try, if you like. then I will ask Auntie Qi to cook it everyday for you!”
Luo Shang Er looked at her small plate which has piled up alike small hill: Barbecued braise pork with honey, steamed eels in wine, shaoxing peeling pork, roasted leg lamb, in the table there were also foods that Mother Wen reluctantly hard to give up such as butter cheese shrimp, Snail with wild shiso, baked crab shell stuffed with hasma and salted egg yolk, braised duck five treasures, Shark fin soup, Lotus snow soup with clams….
Luo Shang Er supported her forehead: My beautiful green (Youth) years radiant a bright sadness ah.
Mother, this still such early in the morning, how could digest….
Afternoon menu: fried beef slices with vinegar, steamed stuffed pork, braised duck, Fried plum and venison, stewed squab with fish maw, Fried Perch Fillet, Roasted goose with pineapple, many variants with seafood….
At night, it seemed nothing changed, still many kinds of meats.
Hence, Luo Shang Er holding a bowl of West Lake Thick Beef Soup and a plate of shredded pork (chong qing style) she didn’t want to put it down and her expression as if wanted to crying out, if this keeps on continuing for few days, she would feel disgusting with meat.
She looked with hateful toward the bowl of soup which put down by Wen Ze, softly she pledged with crying sound: “It is not easy for me to spot at something lighter… Lao Ye1]! Just let off this bondservant2]!
That sound of complaints hard for Wen Ze not for laughing of it, he touched his lips: “Qin Ai3], aren’t you craving for meat?”
Mother Wen spoke with thoughtful: “This slices of fried meat is too little, don’t you think, Shang Er?”
……………
For the entire day, Luo Shang Er under Mother Wen gentle encouragement hard to refuse, as long as she has little bit intention to eat, Mother Wen would start to act as if she was feeling guilty and said to her: “Isn’t the meat cooked our home not taste delicious?”
Wen Ze didn’t say anything, just occasionally he showed his meaningful flat smile in order to piss her off.
But, at night before sleep, Wen Ze really could not smile anymore.
“Tomorrow you will go to school. Just one time, can’t we do it only one time?” Wen Ze’s arms around Luo Shang Er’s belly, sometimes he helped to soothe her swelling stomach.
A young weasel paying a new year call to a chicken3]! This was because of you!
Luo Shang Er exasperated: “Sorry! Having too much exercise, I afraid can’t wake up!”
“………….”
“Then I will make it gently a bit.” Wen Ze continuing with his negotiation, his hand has started to make a move, lips kissed her face, his hand touched to her chest.
Luo Shang Er heartlessly swayed away his hand, gently pushed his face, gritting teeth said: “If come any closer! If come any closer, I will bite you!”
