"You were so tired and sleeping so soundly, so I carried you here."
Shen Wuqiu glanced down and saw that both of them were naked. She wasn't too embarrassed, after all, they were practically an old married couple.
"How long have we been soaking here?"
Gu Miaomiao thought for a moment, not paying much attention to the time, "It's been about half an hour, hasn't it?"
Shen Wuqiu nudged her and yawned, "Then we can't soak in it."
"Hmm, is there anywhere else that hurts? Should I massage it for you again?"
Shen Wuqiu stretched and loosened his muscles. "I'm okay. I just feel really tired."
As she spoke, she stood up from the bathtub. Seeing someone staring at her so intently made her a little uncomfortable. "Aren't you coming out?"
"I'll wait until you're finished showering before I come out," Gu Miaomiao said, lying on the edge of the bathtub.
Shen Wuqiu was both embarrassed and annoyed by her direct gaze. She grabbed a towel from the shelf and threw it on her head. "Stop looking."
Gu Miaomiao slowly took off the towel, looking at her with a lecherous gaze, "Qiuqiu, you're so beautiful."
Shen Wuqiu asked, almost as if possessed, "What's so interesting about it?"
“You look good everywhere.” As she spoke, Gu Miaomiao’s eyes glanced meaningfully at the part of her body that she had deliberately covered up, “Even the hair there looks good.”
"..." This is just unbelievable. Shen Wuqiu reached out and turned off the bathroom light.
"I can still see it even if you turn it off."
Shen Wuqiu ignored her, quickly finished showering, wrapped herself tightly in a bath towel, and said, "I'm done, I'm going out now."
"Okay. Oh, by the way, I've prepared your clothes; they're just laid out on the bed."
Shen Wuqiu didn't think much of it until she went outside and saw the red dress on the bed, and then she suddenly remembered the promise she made to a certain cat.
She agreed readily.
However……
Shen Wuqiu picked up the dress, biting her lip. Why did she feel so ashamed of the dress at this moment?
Soon, Gu Miaomiao came out of the bathroom.
Shen Wuqiu had already slipped into bed, and only a small wall lamp was on in the room...
The atmosphere was inexplicably ambiguous...
Gu Miaomiao glanced at the bed and, noticing the red dress was gone, felt a surge of joy. She quickly pounced on Shen Wuqiu, asking, "Qiuqiu, are you still sleepy?"
Shen Wuqiu pretended to push her, saying, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep quickly."
Gu Miaomiao let out a long "Oh," got up, and then, taking him by surprise, pulled the entire blanket off...
Greatly disappointed, his partner was under the covers wearing his pajamas.
"..." Gu Miaomiao knelt on the bed, feeling frustrated.
Shen Wuqiu feigned ignorance, "What are you doing? Aren't you going to sleep?"
Gu Miaomiao turned her head away.
Shen Wuqiu suppressed a laugh and reached out to turn off the last wall lamp. "If you're not going to sleep with me, I'm going to sleep instead."
She said it very quickly, but Gu Miaomiao, who was still angry, didn't listen at all. She knelt in the dark for a long time before slowly crawling into bed. But she was still angry, so she turned her back to people and said angrily, "Qiuqiu is a liar."
"What did I lie to you about?" Shen Wuqiu turned her around to face her.
"What do you think?" Gu Miaomiao snorted, but thinking that her partner was really tired today, her anger subsided a little. However, the feeling of unsatisfied desire was really painful.
So, she angrily took it out on her partner's pajamas: "Your pajamas are hideous..."
He was talking and rummaging through things at the same time.
Shen Wuqiu let her rummage through it, "Really? Is it ugly inside too?"
"Inside too..." Gu Miaomiao swallowed hard as she pulled aside her outer pajamas.
Shen Wuqiu was very satisfied with her reaction. "Does the red dress look better, or do I look better?"
"Of course you're prettier."
"Then why do you still want to see me in a red dress?"
“That’s…” Gu Miaomiao realized, her eyes widening, “Qiuqiu…”
"Honey, it's late. Let's work together to build a prosperous, civilized, and harmonious society."
A note from the author:
The highway was completely jammed on my way home at the end of the year.
The journey, which should have taken more than ten hours, took over thirty hours.
Exhausted.
Chapter 140
Having built a harmonious society for most of the night, Gu Miaomiao was feeling incredibly refreshed and invigorated.
The next morning, she hummed a little tune and leisurely went downstairs.
"Hey, why are you up so early today?"
Su Yunzhi had just gotten up and was about to put on her apron to go to the kitchen to get busy when she saw her coming downstairs, which surprised her.
"I got up as soon as I woke up." Gu Miaomiao smiled and followed her into the kitchen. After looking around for a while, she asked solicitously, "Mom, is there anything I can help you with?"
Su Yunzhi glanced at her, intending to say no, but then she thought that the two of them would have to live their own lives in the future, so she changed her mind and said, "Perfect, you can help me out and learn how to do housework. Our family situation is special, so it's not appropriate to just ask someone to come and help us, don't you think?"
As Gu Miaomiao listened, she rummaged through the cupboard and picked up a piece of dried fish. “Don’t worry, we won’t invite anyone else. If Qiuqiu can’t make it, we can just have two young girls from the clan come.”
Su Yunzhi was displeased by her nonchalant attitude. She had originally intended to speak tactfully, hoping to give this simpleton a little nudge, but who knew this fool was so oblivious to her cues? So she gave up on being tactful.
"What I mean is, now that you're in charge, you need to learn how to be a good wife and mother so that you won't create friction by passing the buck over these tedious household chores."
"Why would such a small thing cause a rift?" Gu Miaomiao asked, puzzled. "Qiuqiu can do whatever she wants, or not do whatever she doesn't want to."
Su Yunzhi was speechless, not knowing how to communicate with this simpleton. "For example, if we're not home and it's just you two at home, and Qiuqiu isn't feeling well and just wants to lie down and rest, who will cook the meals? Who will mop the floor? Who will take care of the children?"
“Of course it’s me.” Gu Miaomiao said matter-of-factly, then paused and looked at Su Yunzhi, suddenly realizing, “Mom, are you worried that I won’t treat Qiuqiu well when you’re not around?”
"..." Although that wasn't her original intention, if you had to force it, it seemed like this explanation was acceptable: "Whether someone is good to you or not isn't determined by words, but by actions."
Gu Miaomiao agreed wholeheartedly, nodding, "I think so too."
You could say they're adorably clumsy.
Su Yunzhi looked at her, feeling both helpless and powerless. "What I mean is, when I'm not around, you need to help Qiuqiu with more things, like learning to cook or cleaning..."
"So that's what you were talking about after all this time?"
"What, you don't like to hear this?"
Gu Miaomiao quickly shook her head and asked, "Is this considered an expression of love?"
"So in your world, you don't need to cook or clean?"
Gu Miaomiao nodded.
Su Yunzhi choked for a moment, but then, remembering that the two were in an interracial relationship, she patiently taught her how to get along as a wife: "Anyway, in our world, a person who takes the initiative to do housework is considered to love their wife."
Gu Miaomiao immediately swallowed the remaining dried fish whole, patted the crumbs off her hands, and said, "Then I'll spoil my wife. From now on, I'll take care of all the housework."
"You make it sound so easy..." Su Yunzhi scoffed at her.
"Is it difficult?" Gu Miaomiao tilted her head and asked her.
"What's so difficult about it? Housework is something anyone can do; it just depends on whether you're willing to do it."
Gu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest to assure everyone, "Then I can definitely do it."
Seeing her so confident expression, Su Yunzhi was both annoyed and amused. "Then you'll come with me today and be a good housewife."
Gu Miaomiao hummed in agreement, and seeing Su Yunzhi roll up her sleeves, she immediately followed suit.
Since the other party was so sincere, Su Yunzhi had nothing to say, so she really did help her get busy in the kitchen.
Before long, the others also got up one after another, but Shen Wuqiu was nowhere to be seen until it was time to eat.
Mr. Shen was puzzled and asked, "Lingyu, why hasn't Qiuqiu gotten up yet today?"
Gu Miaomiao replied fluently, "Oh, she was tired yesterday. She needs to rest well."
Mr. Shen didn't think twice. He glanced at his parents-in-law and pretended to mutter a few words: "When can't we rest? We're eating now, we should eat with everyone first."
“The child is tired, what’s wrong with sleeping a little longer? We’re not outsiders, are we supposed to wait for Qiuqiu to serve her?” Grandpa said sternly. “Fortunately, our little darlings are very well-behaved, so Qiuqiu can get a good night’s sleep.”
"Yes, you're right." Mr. Shen was only saying this to his wife and son, because he was afraid they would think his eldest daughter was impolite. "Then let's not wait for her, let's eat first."
After saying that, as if remembering something, she asked Su Yunzhi, "Is it warm for Qiuqiu?"
Su Yunzhi glanced at Gu Miaomiao: "Don't worry, it's hot."
The cat was well-prepared; as soon as breakfast was ready, it set aside a portion for someone.
After breakfast, Gu Miaomiao took the initiative to follow behind Su Yunzhi, helping to clean up the table and kitchen, and even insisted on washing the dishes.
Looking at her fair hands, Su Yunzhi felt a pang of pity. She turned her head away and helped her wash them once, then told her to rinse them again, saying, "I'm just afraid you'll only be enthusiastic for a short time."
"I won't." Gu Miaomiao looked at the foam in the sink, her playful side aroused. She secretly poked a few bubbles with her finger, but when Su Yunzhi looked over, she quickly withdrew her hand and promised, "I really won't."
Su Yunzhi scoffed. Just then, Zhou Xingxing came over, greeted Su Yunzhi, and then squeezed next to a certain cat, winking at her, "What time did you go to sleep last night?"
"I don't know, I didn't really check the time." Gu Miaomiao glanced at her. "Why are you asking this?"
"Let's see if you can handle it."
The phrase "can you do it?" is particularly meaningful.
Su Yunzhi smiled at her, pursing her lips: "Tell me, you're almost thirty years old and still a virgin, why don't you worry about your own bedroom affairs? You're always thinking about other people's bedroom affairs."
Stephen Chow shrank his neck sheepishly, "Just curious..."
"At your age, it's understandable that you're curious," Su Yunzhi said seriously. "Don't just think about it, take action. Seriously, what are your requirements? Or should I introduce you to someone?"
