Liang Shi nodded: "But my ring finger isn't short either."
"Hmm." Xu Qingzhu placed her hand on it. "It's more than a centimeter longer than mine."
Liang Shi chuckled softly, "I'm taller than you too."
Enraged, Xu Qingzhu kicked her under the covers.
Only after they finished kicking each other did they realize that the two of them had been discussing something trivial.
On another occasion, during a casual conversation, the topic turned to the days when Liang Shi had been in a coma.
Liang Shi recounted Zhao Xuning's account of the events of the previous few days, saying that he had gone on a long journey and had seen Qi Jiao there.
Xu Qingzhu's expression changed slightly when she heard the name Qi Jiao.
Normally she wouldn't react much, but this time the reaction was amplified. She frowned slightly, but Liang Shi didn't notice.
Liang Shi said, "Sister Qi Jiao opened a flower shop over there. She is still as gentle and kind as she was when she was a child, like an angel. The first day we met, she gave me milk candy again."
Liang Shi said that Qi Jiao gave her an iris on the day the press conference ended, and also confessed her sexual orientation to her.
She said she had no memory, yet she could still subconsciously sense that Chen Mian was a painter.
Liang Shi chattered on about everything that happened there, and even asked Xu Qingzhu for help, asking if she should tell Chen Mian what Qi Jiao had said to Chen Mian.
If I tell her, what will I do if Chen Mian asks about it?
But if he didn't tell her, Liang Shi hoped that Qi Jiao could be happy.
You can have the happiness of having Chen Mian.
Even though they've told each other, the two still won't meet, which is a real dilemma.
After she finished speaking, she realized that Xu Qingzhu was not responding. When she looked down, she found Xu Qingzhu lying in her arms with tears in her eyes.
Tears streamed down her face, but Liang Shi assumed she was grieving over Chen Mian and Qi Jiao's relationship and immediately comforted her, "Baby, it's okay. Qi Jiao is very happy now."
“Yes,” Xu Qingzhu said, “She is happy, but I am not.”
Liang Shi: "?"
"What's wrong?" Liang Shi asked.
Xu Qingzhu's eyelashes were wet with tears, making her look incredibly pitiful. "Sister Qi Jiao is so kind, why didn't you stay there and keep her company? What are you doing back here?"
Liang Shi: "..."
"Are you jealous?" Liang Shi teased her while wiping away her tears, which was a kind of quirky and mischievous fun.
Xu Qingzhu snorted softly, looking extremely aggrieved. "Why would I be jealous? I want candy."
It just so happened that Liang Shi had some candy in his bedroom drawer.
She unwrapped the candy and held it to Xu Qingzhu's lips. At first, Xu Qingzhu gave a light snort, as if to say, "I won't eat it unless you coax me properly." But then Liang Shi leaned over and kissed her on the corner of her mouth.
When the bottle was brought to her lips again, Xu Qingzhu obediently opened her mouth.
Xu Qingzhu ate half of her candy, and Liang Shi immediately leaned over and bit off the other half.
Lips pressed together.
Liang Shi put the half-candy in his mouth and said with a smile, "So sweet."
Xu Qingzhu snorted in dissatisfaction: "Is the candy that Sister Qi Jiao gave me sweeter, or the candy that she snatched from my mouth?"
Liang Shi paused, pretending to think.
Xu Qingzhu was about to cry again, and Liang Shi immediately surrendered, leaning over to kiss her on the lips, "Wife... don't cry."
Liang Shi nibbled at her earlobe, then gently scraped it, coaxing, "Of course, it's sweetness snatched from my wife's mouth."
When it's just the two of us, we can say anything.
Shameless.
Liang Shi felt that he had said all the lines he hadn't finished in movies and TV dramas in the past few days.
Xu Qingzhu asked her, "How are things on your end?"
Liang Shi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, everyone loves me. Besides, it's already spring where I am. The day I came here, I even picked a peach blossom and put it on the coffee table downstairs."
"Then why did you come?" Xu Qingzhu said with a hint of bitterness, "Your sister Qi Jiao is over there, she'll give you irises, and there are so many people who love you..."
Liang Shi chuckled upon hearing this and reached out to pinch her waist.
He paused for a moment before saying, "Because... Xu Qingzhu isn't there."
"My spoiled little sister," Liang Shi said in a low, slightly hoarse voice, "where else can I find a wife feeding me sweets?"
Xu Qingzhu blushed instantly at these words.
Chapter 136
There are too many things like this.
Emotions emerge from the smallest details.
After tasting the candy, Xu Qingzhu asked, "When did you put the candy in?"
“Yesterday,” Liang Shi replied.
Because Xu Qingzhu had fainted from crying once, Liang Shi, in a desperate attempt to find a solution, sent a message to Zhao Xuning, asking very subtly what to do.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhao Xuning said: "Low blood sugar."
Liang Shi then ordered takeout on his phone, which was delivered along with his lunch.
Therefore, Xu Qingzhu was unaware of this.
Because of that question, Zhao Xuning seized the opportunity to get revenge for what happened that day, sending a teasing message to Liang Shi: "Miss Liang, you're quite something."
Liang Shi: [...Otherwise?]
He replied to the message with a hint of guilt and embarrassment.
Fearing Zhao Xuning might say something else, Liang Shi immediately said, "Don't say it. Have some shame."
Zhao Xuning: [Heh.]
You could practically feel Zhao Xuning's sneer even through the screen.
What was clearly an advantage was something Liang Shi found difficult to talk about.
Zhao Xuning wasn't someone who lacked tact. Since it involved someone else's privacy, she made a few jokes and then stopped, giving Liang Shi a serious explanation.
All the scientific information can be written down and made into a list, which will be called: Precautions for Omegas during their heat cycle.
It's clear that Zhao Xuning has done extensive research.
However, Zhao Xuning's academic research does not focus on this area.
It goes without saying who this research is specifically for.
But Liang Shi didn't care. The parties involved weren't in a hurry, so no matter how many dirty tricks she came up with, it was useless.
The drawer was filled with all sorts of candies.
There were fruit hard candies with transparent paper, mints, and milk candies that Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu both liked.
After eating the candy, Xu Qingzhu's mood improved significantly. She found a comfortable spot to lie on Liang Shi's lap, asked him for a fruit candy, unwrapped it, and fed it to him.
Liang Shi hadn't swallowed the milk candy he had just eaten, and his mouth was still full of the sweet taste of milk candy.
He shook his head at the candy she offered, his nimble tongue pushing it away as he mumbled, "I haven't finished eating it yet."
Xu Qingzhu frowned slightly, her smiling face suddenly fell, and her wet eyes looked over.
Liang Shi: "..."
Liang Shi's warm fingertips landed on her eyelids, gently caressing them, and he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Xu Qingzhu turned around, turning her face away from her.
Even the most obtuse person could tell that Xu Qingzhu was angry.
Liang Shi gently pinched her waist.
Xu Qingzhu is rather thin, but you can still feel flesh if you pinch her.
I don’t know when he developed this habit, but he probably learned it from Xu Qingzhu. However, Liang Shi was very careful when he pinched the dough and was able to control the force well.
There was only one time when she didn't control her strength well enough and made Xu Qingzhu cry.
Xu Qingzhu's tears fell like beads from a broken string; she cried uncontrollably.
Liang panicked immediately and hurriedly apologized to her.
Xu Qingzhu ignored it, and a moment later, she felt a warm, damp sensation on the skin that had been pinched.
It felt chilly when the wind blew.
However, Liang Shi moved gently, and the ends of his hair lightly brushed against Xu Qingzhu's lower abdomen.
Xu Qingzhu forgot to cry for a moment.
A few minutes later, Liang Shi wiped away the water stains with his fingertips, hugged her from behind, and apologized: "Baby, I was wrong."
Xu Qingzhu gave a soft hum.
That matter is finally over.
This time, it was obvious that Liang Shi deliberately held back, thinking it was nothing.
It's just a small, affectionate gesture between lovers.
But soon she felt a warm, wet sensation on her legs.
...and cried again.
Liang Shi picked up Xu Qingzhu and let her rest her face on his shoulder.
Alpha's body could withstand her pressure, and Liang Shi's hand landed on her hair, as if coaxing a child.
He was even more patient and attentive than when coaxing a child.
