Sister-in-law and Buttface were almost done eating. Seeing that I was fine, they heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, I was more worried. Their expressions were strange, but after thinking about it, it was normal that they didn't know my strength. If I panicked, it would look like I had a guilty conscience.
If I was an expert of that level, I would most likely hide it from them. It was reasonable. There was no doubt that this was a psychological battle. I felt that if the Oscars didn't give me an Oscar, they would be killing the Best Actor in the cradle.
"Are you okay, Xiao Feng?" Sister-in-law came over and asked with concern.
"What could be wrong?" I shrugged and said with a smile. It felt good to be cared for by her.
"What are you talking about?" Sister-in-law asked me curiously.
"Fruits and pastries. They're really delicious. Now that you're pregnant, you get hungry easily. You need to prepare more snacks at home," I explained.
My unintentional words touched Sister-in-law. She bit her pink lips and said softly, "You're much more considerate than him."
I knew she was talking about my cousin. Sigh, considerate is useless. Now that she's pregnant, my last hope has been cut off. Maybe this is fate, but not fate.
After driving for a while, Buttface, who was sitting in the back, suddenly poked me. "Madman, here you go."
It turned out that he was too embarrassed to take the compensation of a few hundred kuai from the delinquent girl. "You're treating me like an outsider." I frowned and looked unhappy.
"I didn't mean that. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do." Buttface shook his head.
"We're brothers. If you think of me as your childhood friend, just take it. When the time comes, buy some delicious food and drinks to bring back to show your filial piety to your parents," I said angrily.
Buttface was a very principled person. If I gave him money for no reason, he definitely wouldn't take it. The five hundred kuai was nothing to me, but he could do a lot of things with it.
Since it had come to this, he could only accept it. Sister-in-law kept looking at me with a smile. She seemed to approve of my way of doing things.
Half an hour later, we arrived home and couldn't wait to open the gift box. It was full of fruits, pastries, and tea leaves.
"Wow, this is Singapore's Green Cake, Philippines' Rambutan, Mangosteen … and the best Biluochun!" The sister-in-law was quite knowledgeable.
"Xiao Feng, why are you spending so much money? Although these are delicious, they are very expensive." Sister-in-law frowned.
"Brother Long gave it to me. He said that since Mrs. Zhuang is pregnant, it would be too vulgar to give her money. He had to give her some food." I winked at him.
"That's more like it!
If you spend money to buy these two boxes, it would cost at least two or three thousand! "Sister-in-law's words were shocking. I just thought it was fresh and tasty, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive.
No wonder the waiter didn't dare to make a decision. What made me secretly happy was that my sister-in-law didn't mind being taken advantage of verbally.
"It's okay. You can eat as much as you want. I'll go get more when you're done." I was in a good mood, so I waved my hand.
However, my sister-in-law rolled her eyes. "That restaurant isn't yours. Moreover, these things should be for VIP customers. Oh right, what's your relationship with Brother Long? Why is he so polite?" Sister-in-law was like a curious kitten.
I could even see a trace of admiration in her. I didn't dare to think about it before. You have to know that when I first came to her house, I was ridiculed and mocked. At that time, I thought it was good enough that I didn't get into trouble, so there was no need to talk about admiration.
After two months of contact, her attitude towards me had completely changed. "I can't say it, I can't say it."
I shook my head. It was better to keep this topic a secret. It wasn't that I didn't trust Sister-in-law, but I was worried that if I revealed it to her, it would bring unexpected trouble.
There were some secrets that the fewer people who knew, the better. Sister-in-law pouted but didn't get angry. She was smart, so she should be able to understand what I meant.
"Lunatic, hurry up and give me your phone. You promised to show me again tonight," Buttface shouted impatiently.
This perverted dog, I'm afraid he's deeply poisoned. However, he's an adult, so it's not a bad thing for him to cram some knowledge about men and women. It'll save him the trouble of not being able to tell which hole is which.
"Okay." I set up the website and gave it to him. Buttface entered my room and closed the door.
Only my sister-in-law and I were left in the living room. A man and a woman were alone, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. "Oh right, when you were in the restaurant, didn't you have something to say?" I asked.
Sister-in-law pursed her lips and seemed hesitant. "Xiao Feng, you promised me that no matter what I did to you, you wouldn't blame me, right?"
She didn't rush to tell me. Instead, she mentioned something from the past. I had some impression that she had indeed said that. That day when she sent me to school, she asked me this strange question.
I didn't know what she meant by that. Did she want to hurt me?
But I felt that Sister-in-law wouldn't do anything to hurt me.
"Yeah, no matter if it's in the past, now, or in the future, I won't blame you. Maybe when I first came here, I couldn't understand why you made things difficult for me. Later on, I understood that if you did that, you would be able to vent all the bitterness in your heart that no one else could." I smiled faintly. To be honest, this was the first time I spoke to Sister-in-law from the bottom of my heart.
In the past, I just buried it in the depths of my heart and didn't dare to say it out loud. I felt that it was funny, and I was also afraid that she would mock me. As a child from the mountains, I was a reserved person, especially when it came to relationships. If I wasn't sure that a girl liked me, I wouldn't easily take a step forward.
Luckily, it was Liu Jie who took the initiative to pursue me. If I had to pursue a girl, it would undoubtedly be a kind of torture.
Sister-in-law's beautiful eyes shimmered with tears. Her charming face now had a soul-stirring beauty. Why is she crying?
Perhaps she was afraid of my gaze, Sister-in-law couldn't help but lower her head. "Thank you for your understanding and tolerance, Xiao Feng. Sister-in-law likes you a lot. I like your manliness. I like your courage to stand up for me and not bow down to evil forces. I like your strong body and the wonderful feeling when you sucked on me."
She couldn't hide her shyness. Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks, but she couldn't help but smile.
Crying and smiling at the same time. What kind of joke is this? However, her compliments made me blush and my heart race. Is this a confession?
I suspected that I was dreaming. Although I tried to figure out what she was thinking, I didn't dare to confirm it. But at this moment, she couldn't hide her thoughts anymore and slowly poured them out. I realized that my world was filled with colors. I was so happy that I couldn't wait to rush to the street and shout with a loudspeaker that Sister-in-law likes me. She likes everything about me!
"Do you think I'm cheap?" Sister-in-law asked softly. It was as if something had pierced my heart.
