She frowned: "Wife..."
With a hint of resentment.
Liang Shixing asked her, "Hmm?"
Xu Qingzhu cupped her face in his hands and stared at her intently, as if trying to see right through her.
Liang Shi, a sober man, felt embarrassed to be seen, but was also moved by her presence, and longed to kiss her shimmering lips.
"Wife~" Xu Qingzhu called out to her sweetly.
"I'm here," Liang Shi answered with ease, though her heart was pounding wildly.
Xu Qingzhu's fingers traced her throat, her gaze fixed on her, appearing gentle and beautiful in the dim light.
Xu Qingzhu pleaded sweetly, "Just call my name!"
Liang Shi's throat moved slightly between her fingers.
After a moment, in the silence, Liang Shi spoke: "Wife."
Under Xu Qingzhu's watchful gaze, Liang Shi's shout still sounded somewhat stiff.
Xu Qingzhu frowned, somewhat dissatisfied: "Can you shout it again?"
Liang Shi: "..."
She didn't know why Xu Qingzhu was so insistent on this title, but she still granted her request.
The second time you shout it, be gentler than the first time.
“It’s still not enough.” Xu Qingzhu tilted her head back. “Let’s do it again.”
Liang Shi felt a little embarrassed. When he saw that she was so weak that she was about to slide down, he put his hand on her waist and pulled her up a little, placing his palm on her waist.
"You've had too much to drink." Liang Shi coughed lightly. "Let me help you to rest."
"No!" Xu Qingzhu suddenly became serious. "I want to hear what you have to say."
"What did you say?" Liang Shi asked.
"Call me wife," Xu Qingzhu said. "Call me that in a very, very loving way."
Liang Shi pursed his lips, wondering why Xu Qingzhu had suddenly become like this, as if she had become a different person.
"Go lie down on the bed," Liang Shi said. "I'll make you some honey water, otherwise you'll have a headache tomorrow morning."
Xu Qingzhu shook her head: "No..."
"Wife," Liang Shi tried to coax her gently, "why don't you go and rest?"
It's like coaxing a child.
Xu Qingzhu continued to shake her head: "No, it has to be that really sweet tone, like you're spoiling me rotten... my wife..."
Xu Qingzhu was almost crying as she spoke. She frowned, tears welling up in her eyes. "Can you call my name?"
Liang Shi immediately patted her back, trying to soothe her emotions.
"What's wrong?" Liang Shi asked. "Did something happen?"
"I'm fine." Xu Qingzhu was slightly agitated, and tears fell like pearls. She sobbed, "As expected, you're unwilling to cooperate with me when there's no mission."
Task?
Liang Shi was startled. "What do you mean?"
Xu Qingzhu looked at her, her voice still trembling, "You coax me every day, stay with me, and make me happy, isn't it all for the mission? But... I really like you so much."
Xu Qingzhu's eyes were as red as a little rabbit's, "I like you so much... I like you so much... my wife..."
Xu Qingzhu coughed as she spoke, then said in a hoarse, almost pleading voice, "Even if you're just going to brush me off, can't you at least be serious?"
“I’m not just saying that to appease you.” Liang Shi was taken aback by her words and didn’t know where to begin explaining, but he immediately added, “I don’t like you because of the mission.”
"Wife." Xu Qingzhu hugged her tightly, burying his head in the crook of her shoulder. The arms around her waist tightened instantly, so tightly that Liang Shi could hardly breathe.
Xu Qingzhu's tears fell onto her neck. "Even if it was to lie to me, please don't tell me, okay?"
Xu Qingzhu's voice trembled, "You lied to me for so long."
“I’m not lying to you.” Liang Shi’s heart was breaking. Xu Qingzhu’s voice was terribly hoarse, but she still pleaded in a muffled voice, “Can you love me more? Even if you’re lying to me, just say you love me one more time.”
"That way I won't feel so bad," Xu Qingzhu said. "My heart is aching so much right now."
"Wife," Liang Shi called her softly, his voice tender and lingering, "I didn't lie to you, not at all."
"I love you," Liang Shi said. "It is love."
"I love you so much," Liang Shi assured her. "I love you so much, don't cry."
Xu Qingzhu suddenly laughed, "Yes, even if you're lying to me, you have to keep lying like this."
Without waiting for Liang Shi's explanation, he kissed her lips directly.
Chapter 146
Surprisingly, they didn't do anything that night.
Even when they kissed passionately, it was still just a hot kiss.
All emotions were contained within that kiss, tender and poignant.
Xu Qingzhu's cries stirred countless hearts of pity. Liang Shi would always say, panting, between kisses, "Zhuzi, don't think such things, okay?"
Faced with her crying, Liang Shi was somewhat at a loss.
The only response is a kiss.
On the sofa in the living room, on the bed in the dimly lit room, on the bay window that exudes a chill.
Countless passionate kisses and countless separations.
The taste of blood lingered on Liang Shi's tongue as he kissed it.
Xu Qingzhu nestled in her arms and said, "Sister, I really want to keep you at home."
Even though he was already confused and infatuated, Liang Shi couldn't help but laugh and cry, but he still responded slowly and tenderly: "What are you doing staying at home?"
"I want to see you every day." Xu Qingzhu stared at her, her fingertips tracing her lips. "I want you to be mine alone, and no one else can look at you."
Liang Shi teased her: "Didn't you ask me to film kissing scenes and bed scenes before? And told me that actors should be dedicated? How can an actor only let you watch?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingzhu frowned deeply, and as if she had thought of something, she suddenly nestled into her arms and cried, her voice muffled.
Liang Shi tried to coax her, but before she could speak, Xu Qingzhu cried and said, "That's not how it's said."
Liang Shi asked in surprise, "Then what should we do?"
Xu Qingzhu's tears soaked through her thin inner clothes, falling all over her skin.
After she had cried enough, Xu Qingzhu said in a hoarse voice, "You should say that although actors can't only watch for me, you can only watch for me for my sake."
Liang Shi: "..."
Liang Shi was amused and burst out laughing, but Xu Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then tears immediately fell down her face. She reached out and patted her shoulder: "Don't laugh."
Xu Qingzhu said very seriously, "I told you, even if you're lying to me, you have to lie to me properly."
"I'll give you whatever you want, okay?" Xu Qingzhu said, "Just tell me what you want, and I'll definitely cooperate with you unconditionally."
“Even if your mission is…” she paused, “to kill me.”
Liang Shi was startled. "What are you saying? If you keep saying this, I'm really going to get angry. How could I possibly hurt you? Xu Qingzhu, don't talk nonsense."
"Aww~" Xu Qingzhu's tone became more relaxed, "Like this."
Xu Qingzhu rubbed her head against her chest like a cat that had just woken up, as if trying to please her owner, "I love your serious tone~"
Her hoarse voice softened unconsciously, captivating listeners.
Liang Shi stroked the top of her head, and Xu Qingzhu said in a muffled voice, "You have to use a little force when you kiss me, then I'll like it."
Liang Shi did not know what she meant by her request, but he complied anyway.
Xu Qingzhu drank a lot of alcohol, and when she kissed someone, she was unrestrained and wild, and her whole being was restless.
A person who is usually calm and self-controlled becomes a complete fool when he falls in love.
Liang Shi then joined her in her craziness.
When she was almost out of breath from being kissed, Xu Qingzhu whispered in Liang Shi's ear, "Sister, I love your kiss."
“Like this…” Xu Qingzhu nibbled on her earlobe, leaning half her body against her, her voice incredibly soft, “I feel like you’re loving me so much.”

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the dark curtains, and cars began to move like shuttles downstairs, just like the water in the Yu River.
The entire city is like a wound-up gear, starting to run with the slightest nudge.
Xu Qingzhu turned over and subconsciously touched her side, only to find it was ice-cold.
Her head was throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to explode.
A hangover is unpleasant, especially if you didn't drink any hangover soup that night.
Drinking so much alcohol and then being exposed to the cold wind on a winter night in thin clothes will only worsen your headache.
Xu Qingzhu raised her hand and pressed her temples. She was only wearing a tank top, and her slender white arms were no different from usual, except for a red mark around her wrist and purplish marks on her elbow.
She has very sensitive and delicate skin, and it usually turns red easily when touched.
She has forgotten everything that happened last night.
The habit of blacking out when drunk won't change just because you do something bizarre while drunk.
In fact, whether it was joy or sorrow, she would forget it completely after waking up.
Xu Qingzhu glanced at the red marks on her wrist and the purplish-blue marks on her elbow, unable to recall what had happened last night.
The headache continues.
The room was dimly lit and lacked any alluring scent.
