Fang Yusheng heard the sound of the car wheels rubbing against the ground.
In the Fang family yard, only his old car could make such a terrible sound.
He scattered all the cat food in his hands. The stray cats surrounding him dispersed and ran to pick up the cat food. As Fang Yusheng stood up, he heard the sound of the car door opening. The sound of footsteps followed, and these footsteps stopped a meter in front of him.
Qiao Jiusheng tilted her head, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face. She asked Fang Yusheng, âWhat are you doing here? Waiting for me?â
Fang Yushengâs lips twitched as he replied, âFeeding the cats.â His voice was calm.
Qiao Jiusheng said, âRude!â She glanced at the stray cats that were snatching the cat food and asked Fang Yusheng, âWhere did these stray cats come from?â
âThe mountains have many wild abandoned cats.â
âSo many?â Qiao Jiusheng counted. She could see more than ten of them. Picking up a small bag of cat food by the stone staircase, she fed the wild cats. As she fed them, she said, âBrother Tiger also raised a cat in the past. Later on, that cat got together with the female cat next door and gave birth to a baby. After that, the cat did not return home. Thatâs why you have to sterilize your pet. If you raise it otherwise, it would become someone elseâs.â
Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows and humbly asked, âWho is Brother Tiger?â
âMy big brother,â Qiao Jiusheng explained.
Fang Yusheng was stunned. âWhy is Qiao Sen called Tiger?â
âMy mother is from the Northeast. She says that the more lowly nicknames we give to the children, the easier it is to raise them. All three of us have lowly, casual nicknames.â
âThatâs why your big brother is called Tiger.â
âNo, heâs called First Tiger.â
How down-to-earth.
âWhat about your sister?â Fang Yusheng asked again.
Qiao Jiusheng paused before saying, âSecond Black, sometimes called Second Girl.â
Could it be that Qiao Jiuyin is very dark?
In that case, Qiao Jiushengâs skin should be quite dark as well.
?Fang Yusheng could not help but become curious about his wifeâs appearance.
After a moment of silence, he again asked, âWhat about you?â
When Fang Yusheng asked this question, he received an expected silence. With a chuckle, he happily asked, âCould it be that your nickname is too lowly, and youâre too embarrassed to say it?â
Qiao Jiushengâs face turned red.
âLet me guess! Donât tell me your nickname is Third Idiot?â
âGet lost!â
Fang Yusheng did not get angry. Instead, he heartily laughed.
Staring at Fang Yushengâs bright smile, Qiao Jiusheng thought,?Beauty is like a blade!
She awkwardly said, âIâm not a fool. My nickname is Third Girl.â Qiao Jiushengâs voice became softer as she spoke.
Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows. He felt that this girl was lying.
Aunt Jin was cleaning the vegetable garden with a small hoe. From afar, she could hear Young Master Yusheng laughing. She could not help but raise her head to look at the door. When she saw the grand smile on Young Master Yushengâs face, her eyes turned red. How many years had it been since she saw Young Master Yu smiling so happily?
âWho doesnât have a nickname? Donât you think so?â Qiao Jiusheng glanced at the smiling Fang Yusheng and quickly changed the topic. âHave you eaten lunch?â
Knowing that she was trying to change the topic, Fang Yusheng left the matter of the nickname. He stopped smiling and answered, âYes, Aunt Jin left you some food.â
âOh, then Iâll go eat.â
Qiao Jiusheng passed the cat food to Fang Yusheng and entered the house.
In the evening, after taking a shower, Qiao Jiusheng changed into a set of pajamas with long sleeves and pants. She crawled to her spot and sat cross-legged.
A bag of chips lay in her hands, and she ate them while watching a movie.
Fang Yusheng came out of the shower. He was still drying his hair when he heard the sound of Qiao Jiusheng secretly eating. His face turned cold as he pursed his lips and warned Qiao Jiusheng. âIâve told you many times not to eat in bed.â
Qiao Jiusheng quickly hid all the chips in the first drawer of the bedside table.
She then sat upright and looked at Fang Yusheng, who was drying his hair.
Fang Yusheng had worn loose pajamas with a low collar. His symmetrical collar bones were long and slender, and he looked like a sickly beauty. Qiao Jiushengâs gaze paused on his collarbone and slightly-protruding Adamâs apple for two seconds. She then stubbornly asked him, âWhich eye of yours saw me eat it?â
ââ¦â
Is she bullying me because Iâm blind?
Fang Yusheng did not say anything. He walked straight to the bedside table and bent down to open the drawer. He took out all the snacks inside, opened the window, and threw them down from the second floor.
His actions were swift.
Qiao Jiusheng was dumbfounded.
âFang Yusheng, how dare you throw my snacks?â Qiao Jiusheng reprimanded as she ran toward the window. Throwing a girlâs snacks was akin to stabbing her in the heart. Qiao Jiusheng was so furious that her face turned red.
Fang Yusheng closed the window very calmly. He turned his head and expressionlessly said to Qiao Jiusheng, âI even dare to throw you out. Do you believe me?â
âIâ¦â
Of course, he does.
Qiao Jiusheng instantly fell silent. Even the air became silent.
She secretly glanced at the snacks in the yard downstairs and snorted before returning to her bed.
