Back home, Wang Weixi put down the groceries and put the strawberries in a plate after washing them. He then got out of the kitchen excitedly.
Glancing at Yi Duanfang sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, he sighed, speechless, and then went to the bedroom.
“Honey, I bought your favorite strawberry. Come and have a taste!” Wang Weixi placed the strawberries in front of Chen Kexin with delight and said.
Staring at those attractive strawberries, Chen Kexin clapped joyfully. She put her arms around Wang Weixi’s waist and said, “Honey, you are so sweet!”
Wang Weixi touched her hair and said, “Okay, have a taste. I’ll do the cooking. Duanfang is going to stay for the lunch today.”
Chen Kexin raised her head, looking delightful. She said, “Elder brother Duanfang has come to pay us a visit? Where is he now?”
Wang Weixi felt blue. Every time he heard Chen Kexin sweetly calling “Elder brother Duanfang”, his delicate heart was bleeding. “Darling, don’t call Duanfang that any more. He’s my younger brother. If you call him that, I’ll become his younger brother, right?” Wang Weixi said patiently.
Chen Kexin said slowly, “I see.” She picked a strawberry, put it in her mouth and then smiled with joy.
Wang Weixi looked reluctant. Well, his wife was three years younger than him, which made Yi Duanfang his wife’s elder brother. “So be it. I’m going to do the cooking,” Wang Weixi pinched her nose and said.
Chen Kexin loosened Wang Weixi’s hand. She pinched his face with both hands and said with a chuckle, “I know!”
Wang Weixi patted her head and left.
Directly ignoring Yi Duanfang, who was drawling “I’m so thirsty!” Wang Weixi got into the kitchen and began to wash rice and vegetables, cook rice and make dishes.
Lying on the sofa, Yi Duanfang kept yelling, “Wang Weixi, you are such a shameless and bastard who put your wife before your friend! I misjudged you! I’m so thirsty!”
Wang Weixi was cutting the mutton. Finally, he couldn’t bear it and directly came out with a knife, saying to Yi Duanfang lying on the sofa with his head leaning against the edge of it, “Can’t you see that I’m busy with cooking? Get yourself some water, or you want me to serve you? You just come here for a free lunch!”
Squinting at the silvery knife in Wang Weixi’s hand, Yi Duanfang scratched his head, turned around to sit on the sofa and said, “Fine, I’ll get myself some water.”
Wang Weixi returned to the kitchen with the knife and continued cooking.
Yi Duanfang walked to the water fountain. He asked confusedly, “Weixi, you just bought some mutton? You couldn’t be such a cheapskate?”
Wang Weixi stopped cutting. Glancing at Yi Duanfang standing at the door of the kitchen with a glass of hot water in his hand, he ground his teeth with hatred and cursed, “I bought it for you, Okay?!” But he just rolled his eyes and continued cutting the mutton.
“I’m telling the truth, right? I just know that you are such a cheapskate, how is it possible…” Wang Weixi couldn’t help interrupting Yi Duanfang demeaning him smugly, “There are some pork and chicken in the refrigerator. You don’t need to worry about that.”
Yi Duanfang suddenly understood, moved to say, “So you bought mutton for me?”
… Wang Weixi was speechless.
“I’m so moved! I know it’s impossible that you would abandon me! Weixi, I love you so much!” Yi Duanfang reached out in an attempt to hold Wang Weixi in his arms. Unexpectedly Wang Weixi took a few steps backward, so Yi Duanfang’s attempt was in vain. Yi Duanfang felt a little lost with a pout on his face, “Oh, why are you hiding from me? We used to do that a lot!”
… Wang Weixi remained speechless.
“Do what?” At the moment, Chen Kexin stepped into the kitchen because she felt hungry, and saw what happened here. It made Wang Weixi more speechless that she looked so excited at this moment?
Yi Duanfang turned around and saw Chen Kexin, who looked greatly curious and expectant. He made orchid fingers and said with a big smile, “You don’t know that the story between Weixi and I is so earthshaking that everyone will burst into tears after hearing it! I may say that it means everything to me that Weixi has been taken good care of me for so long!”
Chen Kexin looked astonished with her eyes wide open. She walked over to Yi Duanfang, grabbed his arms and said, “Really? Tell me more details!”
… Why he had to bear such an unbearable thing? Wang Weixi stretched his leg to kick Yi Duanfang in his soft butt unexpectedly before Yi Duanfang began to talk.
Watched by the astonished Chen Kexin, with an “ouch”, Yi Duanfang lost his balance and bumped into the doorframe, looking like an embarrassing T.
“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll peel off your skin and make soup with it!” Wang Weixi said angrily.
Yi Duanfang turned around with difficulty and said with a whimper, “You are so ruthless. After all, I’m …”
“Go on?” Wang Weixi shouted threateningly.
Yi Duanfang curled his lip gloomily and finally stopped.
Chen Kexin clapped and commented, “Wow, honey is awesome!”
Wang Weixi said with a cool smile, “He’s being lunatic!”
“Okay, you can continue cooking. I’ll have a chat with younger brother Duanfang!” Chen Kexin took Yi Duanfang, who looked upset, by the hand and swiftly left before Wang Weixi said something else, leaving Wang Weixi holding a knife and feeling grieved.
Well, Chen Kexin was so silly that she would probably take the sissy Yi Duanfang as her sister. Wang Weixi sighed, consoled himself and went on cooking.
As time went by, Wang Weixi, who had been busy in the kitchen, didn’t get the sense of satisfaction from preparing a meal as usual, because he kept glancing at the two people talking passionately in the living room. He could tell that they were so happy.
On the contrary, Wang Weixi, who was left alone, felt rather upset.
“Honey, lunch’s ready.” After placing all the dishes, Wang Weixi shouted spiritlessly.
“Okay, wait a minute.” Ignoring her husband gazing at her anxiously at the kitchen door, Chen Kexin kept talking with Yi Duanfang.
Wang Weixi said dejectedly, “Lunch’s getting cold…” “Ah, so pathetic.” He thought.
“Haha! It’s so amusing!” At the moment, they burst out laughing on the sofa.
With a whirring, a blast of cold wind blew over Wang Weixi’s heart. He came up to the table angrily and murmured, “You don’t want to eat? Fine, I’ll eat by myself!” Picking up the chopsticks, he began to eat like crazy.
When Wang Weixi had almost finished half of the dishes, Chen Kexin and Yi Duanfang finally came to the living room. Watching Wang Weixi eating, they said in surprise, “Why do you start eating without us?”
Wang Weixi stared at them with a darkened face, and then turned around to add a spoonful of soup into his bowl and enjoyed a sip of it. After that, he turned around calmly, gazed at the two who were astonished and said, “Should I wait for you to finish your joyful conversation?” He looked apparently jealous.
Chen Kexin curled her lip and sat opposite Wang Weixi meekly. Wang Weixi knit his brows slightly, while Yi Duanfang giggled with a hand over his mouth, “Oh, Weixi is being jealous?”
Wang Weixi rolled his eyes and thought, “You are such a good observer!”
“Kexin, your honey is angry. Why do you still sit with me?” Yi Duanfang pointed at Chen Kexin’s seat and said smugly. He was so anxious to cause some trouble.
Chen Kexin looked up and noticed there was a chair beside Wang Weixi and a set of bowl and chopsticks on the table. She then got up from her seat, ran over to Wang Weixi and sat down beside him. Watching Wang Weixi, who still looked displeased, she said affectionately, “Honey, I didn’t see that. I was just having a pleasant conversation with sister Duanfang at the moment. I’m sorry.”
Wang Weixi spat out a mouthful of soup. He thought, “Sister… What does it mean?!”
“Oh, you pay no attention to hygiene! Look! You smudged the table. Look at the dishes, I don’t want to eat such disgusting dishes!” Yi Duanfang blamed him, one hand on his waist, making orchid fingers with the other hand.
Wang Weixi turned around, gave him a ferocious gaze and said, “It’s up to you!”
After stamping his foot fiercely, Yi Duanfang walked over and sat opposite Wang Weixi.
Chen Kexin put something into her mouth with chopsticks with delight, and said, “I don’t mind honey’s saliva in the dishes. Sister, you shouldn’t mind it either!”
… Wang Weixi almost spat blood.
It was so hateful that Yi Duanfang pretended to be considerate and said, “You’re the boss, sister.” “Well, it seems that he is delighted to be called sister?” Wang Weixi shook his head ruefully and thought. If he hadn’t get used to such a lunatic around him, he would probably cut the lunatic’s throat with a knife.
“Nevertheless, Weixi, why did you prepare so little food?” Yi Duanfang ate while asking discontentedly. Despite of not a few dishes, none of the plates was filled. It made Yi Duanfang severely despise Wang Weixi in his mind.
Wang Weixi gave him a sharp gaze and said, “Why should I prepare so much food? These are enough.”
“Prepare more, and then you can heat them up for dinner. You are so shortsighted!” Yi Duanfang continued talking. Yi Duanfang acted and dressed like a sissy, but he definitely looked like a northern wolf, a true man when he was eating.
Watching his table manners which could scare everyone, Wang Weixi shook his head ruefully and said coolly, “Kexin doesn’t like to eat the dishes which have been heated twice.”
Yi Duanfang stopped eating. He looked up, frowned and gave Chen Kexin, who was enjoying the dishes, a meaningful gaze. There was something complicated in his eyes. He then stared at Wang Weixi who looked serious, confirming that he wasn’t lying. He bowed his head and continued eating crazily without saying anything else.
After they finished lunch, Yi Duanfang stretched himself comfortably, while Wang Weixi began to tidy up. “Honey, I’ll dispose these leftovers. Do you want to wash up?” Although Chen Kexin required to do that, Wang Weixi couldn’t help asking again for making sure that she just said that on the spur of the moment or she really wanted to “make amends for her fault”.
Chen Kexin nodded seriously and said, “Yeah! Of course, I’ll wash up!”
Yi Duanfang ate so much that there were just a few leftovers. Nevertheless, watching the leftovers, Yi Duanfang said while picking his teeth, “Such a reckless waste.”
Wang Weixi thought with a wry smile, “So it is. But my honey doesn’t like it.”
Chen Kexin said after thinking for a while, “Sister Duanfang, why don’t you come here and have meals with us? With you, there are just a few leftovers!”
Wang Weixi turned around in astonishment and stared at Chen Kexin, who apparently wasn’t kidding, with his mouth wide open.
“Oh no! Yi Duanfang is such a greedy person that he will definitely say yes!” However, when this thought came to Wang Weixi’s mind, Yi Duanfang waved his hand and said, “No, thanks. I feel at ease on my own. I can feed myself with anything.”
Wang Weixi gazed at Yi Duanfang in surprise and gratitude. As a guy who just got married, he certainly didn’t want to be disturbed. What was more, watching Yi Duanfang and Chen Kexin have such a pleasant conversation, Wang Weixi would inevitably feel jealous.
“I’ll go to the living room to have a glass of water and a rest, and you can tidy up.” Throwing the toothpick into the nearby trash can, Yi Duanfang got out of the kitchen with vigorous strides before Chen Kexin said anything.
Wang Weixi looked pleased with corners of his mouth upward. He thought, “Buddy, you know me so well!” Wang Weixi disposed the leftovers soon and left after washing hands. He intended to teach Chen Kexin to wash the dishes, but she had so strong self-esteem that she asked him to leave. Thus, Wang Weixi sat down in the living room with butterflies in his stomach.
“You marry such a spoiled woman. Have you considered what your mother will think of your marriage after she knows about it?” As Wang Weixi sat down, Yi Duanfang blamed him in a low voice.
Wang Weixi shook his head and said, “I knew about Kexin’s family background at the beginning. It’s normal that she has been spoiled since she was raised in a rich family and my father-in-law dotes on her.”
On hearing that, Yi Duanfang just responded with a sneer.
“What’s more, Kexin is washing the dishes, right? She tries hard for me, and I shouldn’t be fussy about her, right?” Glancing at Chen Kexin washing the dishes carefully, Wang Weixi turned around and said to Yi Duanfang with a smile.
When Yi Duanfang was about to say something, there came a crackling sound and followed by more.
They were frozen at the same time and then hurried to the kitchen.
They saw Chen Kexin pitifully gazing at the bowls and plates broken to pieces on the ground with tears in her eyes.
“Honey… “Chen Kexin whined with a pout on her face, “I tried to grab the plate, but it slipped from my hand and fell on the pile of bowls and plates. So all of them fell to the ground. I failed to catch them…”
Although Wang Weixi was shocked, fortunately, he had foreseen the ending. After all, it was one of the possible endings…
“It’s okay only if you didn’t get hurt. Let me clean them.” Wang Weixi consoled her immediately.
Chen Kexin nodded, looking rueful.
Yi Duanfang said with a sneer, “How many bowls can be mended…”
Wang Weixi gave him a sharp gaze and began to clean the broken bowls and plates.
