Chapter 232: Sharing A Room
Su Yaoguang lowered her head and kissed that incessantly chattering mouth.
Zhou Wangshu’s eyes widened.
“Whether it fits or not, you’ll only know after putting it on.” Su Yaoguang looked at him and said, “Why act so aggrieved?”
“Anyway, you don’t like it, so why wear it?” Zhou Wangshu’s earlobes were red like the finest agate.
“Zhou Wangshu, giving you one more chance…” Su Yaoguang touched the tip of his nose, “Do you want a divorce? If you do, you can go now.”
“No divorce.” Zhou Wangshu hugged her waist. “You’ve seen, touched, and kissed. If we divorce, who would still want me?”
Su Yaoguang: “…”
Zhou Wangshu pressed against her chest, listening to her heartbeat: “As expected, cold-hearted and unfeeling, your heartbeat isn’t the least bit erratic. What exactly am I to you?”
Su Yaoguang sighed.
She cupped his face and looked at him seriously: “No divorce, right? Don’t regret it.”
She kissed his lips.
Zhou Wangshu kissed back, kissing fiercely and savagely.
But he was very measured, absolutely not hurting her.
Regardless of whether her heartbeat quickened, or whether she saw him as a man or as a younger brother, once she became his woman, she wouldn’t escape this lifetime.
Eat first and talk later.
Zhou Wangshu flipped over, seizing the dominant position.
“Stop, stop, stop…” Su Yaoguang pushed at Zhou Wangshu’s chest. “You’re serious…”
“Or what?” Zhou Wangshu nipped her lip, “If you shout stop now, I’ll immediately call Mother to preside over justice, believe it or not?”
Voices of Zhang Zhaodi and others came from outside, their speaking voices growing closer, clearly heading their way.
Su Yaoguang froze and pushed Zhou Wangshu: “Let go quickly, they’re coming.”
Zhou Wangshu’s face was utterly sullen.
Let go now?
If she wanted him dead, she should just say so.
“Hasn’t Yaoguang and Wangshu come back yet?” Zhang Zhaodi said.
“The door is closed, they probably haven’t returned yet!” Zhang Pandi said, “The two children have been apart for several days, they must have a lot to say.”
“What a worry!” Zhang Zhaodi said, “Wangshu is such a good child, the more I look, the more I like him, but Yaoguang seems to have no romantic feelings for him. Once the results of the exam are out, with Wangshu’s intelligence and talent, he will definitely be on the list of successful candidates. Then our Yaoguang won’t be able to match him anymore. Sigh, simply take him as a godson, and he can be a backer for our Peach Blossom Workshop. If that boy has any conscience, he should take care of us somewhat. I don’t expect him to do anything for us, but if we’re bullied, he can step forward and speak for us.”
“Are you willing to let such a fine golden son-in-law go to someone else?”
“Unwilling, but what can be done? The two children have no feelings!” Zhang Zhaodi said, “With Wangshu’s talent and looks, he’ll definitely seek an official’s daughter in the future. Our Yaoguang is good in every way, just her identity is a bit lacking. Once Wangshu’s ranking comes out, ask the two children’s intentions again. If they want a divorce, do it early, so Yaoguang can find someone she likes anew. This time, find her someone a bit older, older ones know how to cherish. And sturdy build, not a frail scholar who pants after a few steps…”
Su Yaoguang sensed a dangerous aura.
Zhou Wangshu’s gaze was like knives.
Zhang Zhaodi and her two sisters were still discussing remarrying Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu separately.
“Sister, find an older one?”
“No, Mother is talking nonsense.”
“Why didn’t Sister say so earlier? Now my innocence is ruined for nothing, aren’t you toying with me?”
“Have you no shame? Who ruined whose innocence?” Su Yaoguang pinched his soft flesh.
“I’m not like Sister. I was thinking of making children to live life with you, but you’re thinking of remarrying someone else, and finding an older one.”
While Zhou Wangshu spoke in her ear, his movements did not stop.
Su Yaoguang was truly worried that her mother and aunts would suddenly decide to come in and sit for a while; that scene would be too beautiful, she couldn’t imagine how embarrassing it would be.
“I won’t find anyone else, I’ll live with you from now on.” Su Yaoguang yielded.
“Really, not coaxing me?”
“No.”
“Good, I believe you.” Zhou Wangshu kissed her earlobe, “I want to reward Sister properly.”
At dinner, Su Yaoguang did not appear. Zhou Wangshu went out looking refreshed, brought dinner from the kitchen back to the room, then went out once more.
When Su Yaoguang was woken by the noise, Zhou Wangshu was reaching his hand under the quilt.
“What are you doing?” Su Yaoguang shyly dodged.
Zhou Wangshu was applying medicine to her, his expression turning strange.
Su Yaoguang buried her head under the quilt: “Get out.”
“Then apply it yourself?”
“Get out.” Su Yaoguang repeated.
After a long moment of silence, Su Yaoguang emerged from under the quilt and saw Zhou Wangshu sitting at the table.
“Still sleeping? If not, I’ll feed you some porridge.”
Su Yaoguang slowly sat up and glared at him: “Not bringing it over yet?”
Zhou Wangshu brought the porridge and fed her.
Zhang Zhaodi had just finished checking the accounts when she heard Su Yaoguang hadn’t come out for dinner and was about to check, but was held back by Zhang Pandi.
“I’m going to check on my daughter! She’s been working too hard lately, must be exhausted.”
Zhang Pandi whispered in her ear: “Wangshu is with her!”
“Wangshu is tired too, it’s not appropriate for him to take care of her. Besides, since the two can’t be husband and wife, they shouldn’t mix anymore. Let them sleep separately.”
“One moment you want them sharing a room, the next separating; aren’t you afraid the two children will have opinions? I say forget it, just let them stay! If they truly had feelings, it would have happened long ago, not no progress after so many years.”
“You’re right. But I should still go see.”
“It’s too late now, not appropriate to go to their room. Besides, if Yaoguang is tired, she’s surely asleep early.”
“You’re right.”
At this time, Su Yaoguang was held in Zhou Wangshu’s arms. Unaccustomed, she tried to pull away from his embrace, but Zhou Wangshu held her tighter.
“I won’t bother you, sleep!”
Su Yaoguang felt Zhou Wangshu’s breath, nestled in his arms, and fell asleep listening to his heartbeat.
Zhou Wangshu’s body was hot, his heartbeat intense.
Perhaps it wasn’t she who saved Zhou Wangshu and changed his fate, but he who saved her and changed her fate.
He saved her heart.
It turned out someone would unhesitatingly hold her, want to possess her, cherish her, making her feel worthy of being loved.
Zhou Wangshu rarely saw her so dependent on him, feeling content. He stroked her hair, inhaled her fresh sweet scent, and slowly closed his eyes.
Without Su Yaoguang, perhaps he wouldn’t have lasted until today. Even if he survived without dying, he wouldn’t have endured until now. He would have gone mutual destruction with that family, perishing together. But now he had a soft spot, a reason to live, so he had to cherish his life, replan everything.
