Chapter 51
At night in Zhen Family's home.
The usually idle and free Zhen Mama who was rummaging through the drawer looking for something had pulled out all the things in the drawer scattering them all over the place. When Zhen Papa entered the bedroom door, he found his wife sitting on the bed surrounded with numerous booklets and photos.
"What are you doing?" Zhen Papa looked at his wife who was holding a booklet sitting on the edge of the bed. For more than 5 minutes, she had a peculiar blank expression on her face.
Zhen Mama raised her head dully and she seemed to have received a shock which she was unable to recover from. Silently, she pressed the little booklet she was holding, into her husband's hand.
It was a very ordinary booklet. It was just their household registration booklet.
The only abnormal thing was that there was one more additional name in the household registration booklet.........Jia Shao.
~ Relationship with the Head of Household........daughter-in-law.
In addition, there was also a large seal stamped by the Household Registration Office.
Zhen Papa was also momentarily shocked but he regained his calm composure very quickly. He smiled and patted his wife's shoulder. "I think you should ask about this........."
Zhen Mama stood up hastily. "Right, I will go downstairs to ask Elder Sister."
Not waiting for Zhen Papa to reply, she hurriedly left behind the mess she made and ran out of the house. From the stairwell, urgent cries could be heard. "Elder Sister, open the door! Something important happened! Something important........not good........"
Zhen Papa shook his head as he began to pick up the documents that were strewn on the bed and muttered to himself. "Won't you get an answer faster if you ask your own son?"
At this time, Jia Mama was in the midst of making buns and she stood at the door with the dough still in her hand. "What happened? What is so important and not good?"
Zhen Mama shook the little booklet in her hand. "Something important......something good but also a bit not good........"
The shaking little booklet in front of her face made Jia Mama feel a bit dizzy and she could not figure out what Zhen Mama was shouting about. "What is good and also not good?"
"You........have you seen your household registration booklet?" Zhen Mama tried hard to calm down. "After the last time Ah Lang helped you to update your booklet, did you take a look at it?"
Jia Mama smiled and shook her head. "Since your Ah Lang had handled it, I am not worried. Why should I look at it?"
Zhen Mama opened her mouth but did not know how she should tell Jia Mama. Then she simply flipped open her own booklet and turned to one of the pages before holding it up to Jia Mama's face. "Look!!! "
The big words were absorbed into her eyes. Jia Mama frowned, took a deep breath and stared blankly at Zhen Mama. Zhen Mama furiously nodded her head and the two women silently stared at each other exchanging their heartfelt thoughts.
Silence......
Still silence......
Continuing silence........
"I will kill those two brats!!!" Finally, Jia Mama burst out with a loud shout. She rushed into the kitchen, picked up the rolling pin and made for the door.
Suddenly, she noticed Zhen Mama had a weird expression on her face and she gave a dry laugh. "That........I'm not saying yours is a brat. I'm saying mine is a brat and I will kill mine."
"Then won't my Ah Lang become a widower?" Zhen Mama said confidently. "Now that Girl is part of my family, you are not allowed to simply hit her."
Her own family's girl had become someone else's........now she is not even allowed to hit her own daughter?
Jia Mama became more depressed.
"Don't you think we should ask them for an explanation to make this matter clear?" Jia Papa calmly took the rolling pin from his wife's hand. "The last time when both of them came back for 3 days and then sneaked away, I already felt there was something wrong with them. So the matter turned out to be this."
"Yes!" In the eyes of Jia Mama, flames like volcano eruptions were brewing and she ground her teeth. "I'll call and ask clearly."
Just as her hand grabbed her phone, Zhen Papa suddenly spoke. "Wait!"
Zhen Mama and Jia Mama both looked at Zhen Papa's thoughtful face and Zhen Mama could not help but open her mouth. "Do we still have to wait? The last time they came back was 3 months ago and that is to say, both of them had kept this from us for 3 months. If we don't ask, they will definitely hide this from us for a few years."
"The last time they came back, they ran off very quickly. If you were to call them now, don't you think you will alert them? What if both of them run away again?" Zhen Papa calmly said. Instantly, Jia Mama's hand which was holding her phone stopped in mid-air.
Jia Papa agreed and nodded his head. "I also agree it is better to catch hold of them in person rather than ask them on the phone."
The four people, eight eyes stared at each other deeply and nodded hard........
***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***
The morning sunlight shone through the curtains onto the bed and rested on the two people lying in bed.
"Girl, do you want to get up?" A hoarse voice floated on top of Jia Shao's head. The man looked down at the woman who was sleeping on his arm.
"Um......" The vague tone drifted from the sleepy person's mouth. It seemed she resented the piercing glare of the sunlight shining through the curtains and muttered to herself. At the same time, she turned over and buried her head in the chest of the other person. After snuggling to find a comfortable position, she sighed and continued with her sleep.
Zhen Lang stretched out his fingers to pinch her nose. "In the past, you used to get up early in the morning to train but recently why are you so lazy?"
Someone's eyelids did not even lift and answered in a weak voice.
"Today is the weekend."
What is the meaning of the weekend? It is not going to work and not working overtime. Not going out and not doing anything. That actually means sleeping all day at home without anyone controlling.
"If the Old Man finds out that you are lazy and does not train, it will make him very sad." Two fingers quietly touched her high nose and pinched it without letting go.
Impatiently she grabbed the hand that was pinching her nose, drape a leg over his waist and lazily placed a hand on his neck. "Make any more noise and I'll kick you off the bed."
With his face turned to the side, Zhen Lang looked at her sleepy face. Her white face had a dreamy, lazy look, her pink and tender lips were pouting and her eyebrows were slightly knotted together. The whole person was like a cat with her hands clasped and nestled in his embrace.
With bad sleeping habits, she was like an octopus with every one of her tentacles clinging to the person next to her. Her cotton pajamas were all wrinkled up and in disarray exposing the perfect skin under her neck. It was unclear when her buttons had become undone and had exposed a tempting sight.
He hugged her waist with one hand and silently leaned down. He began to drop kisses on her cheeks and forehead.
The kisses were as light as the bees teasing a flower. Light touches...... slipped opened...... touched again...... removed........
"Can't you let me sleep......" She whispered and her voice held a little resentment. In his embrace, she rubbed her face against him like a child seeking favors.
"You've slept for a very long time." Zhen Lang's laughter sounded husky and enticing. "It was 8 o'clock when you went to bed last night."
"Mm........" She let out a low whimper. "But you only allowed me to sleep during the latter part of the night."
Finally, she opened her misty, sleepy eyes due to his continuous kissing and teasing. Her eyes were full of complaints and she moved her neck.
Little red marks like stars were dotted all over her delicate satin-like skin which showed the madness of the two people last night and it was also the reason why she glared at someone with displeasure.
With a pleased smile on his face, Zhen Lang fiddled with her earlobe. "Get up to exercise. Last time when the Old Man came, he had expressed his unhappiness that you sleep-in and don't exercise. You must not be disobedient."
She did not exercise? Now she is feeling sore and weak and her body is already drained of all energy. She wants nothing else except to sleep.
"I feel even more tired than when I trained for my first competition. You're a bastard." She could not help but threw a kick at him but he easily caught hold of her ankle.
On her ankle, a bright silvery light flashed and the white gold anklet sparkled brightly. The rubies and the little diamonds complemented each other and they were clear as crystals.
Zhen Lang placed a light kiss on her ankle and her eyes narrowed. "I think I have an idea on how to make you achieve the Old Man's sports vision and also allow you to continue to enjoy comfort while staying in bed.
Jia Shao sucked in a breath of cold air, withdrew her leg and felt her body softened.
Ever since that time, he had kissed the spot on her ankle just below her calf and after he had discovered it was her vulnerable spot, the spot had become his favorite. He knew that every time she would lose control of herself.
"I don't want!" She said firmly. "Don't think I don't know what you want! Lecher!"
Lecherous ghost! A hungry lecherous ghost among lechers!!!
She had never seen someone who could go back to work radiating with vibrant health and vigor the next morning after going through countless 'battles' with her limp body the night before. All this while, she had not had a good night's sleep. Did this bastard practice the art of 'harvesting the yin to strengthen the yang?!
(In Chinese Taoism, Yin represents the female and Yang represents the male. 'Harvesting the yin to strengthen the yang' is a kind of Taoist cultivation method whereby during sexual intercourse, the climax of the female is able to strengthen the vitality of the male. This information can be found on Wikipedia.
I have read somewhere that the female energy is harvested to strengthen the vitality of the male and this technique is also mentioned in some martial arts novels. The explanation given here is only to help you to understand the story better. Fact or myth, I'm sorry, I'm unable to confirm.)
"You can rest." He slipped his fingers under the hem of her loose pajamas top and caressed her waist. "Allow me to do it."
"Oh......." The next moment, Jia Shao's words were interrupted by the aggressive movement of someone's body.
One of the teachings the Old Man had taught them was as 'Children of the World', one must honor his words and as his disciples, they naturally had to abide accordingly, especially a man like Zhen Lang. Of course, being a man of great character, he had to do his best.
Sounds of panting echoed in the room raising the enthusiasm for the morning exercise. Jia Shao hugged his body and could feel his passion but she still could not control herself and spat out angrily. "I.......hate.......you!"
He gently licked her lips and made her swallowed back all her complaints. Holding her close, blending their bodies into one, he aroused the heat in her. "But I love you........"
After more than 20 years of interacting with each other, the biggest advantage for them was...... they were compatible.
They were compatible with each other's personality.
They were compatible with each other's habits.
And they were compatible within the space of 2 meters by 2 meters.
The door lock on the main door of the house unlocked with the turn of a key and was pulled opened......
Four figures walked into the house with each of them harboring complicated feelings. They had waited anxiously the whole night and at first light, they had booked the earliest available plane tickets to fly over with haste.
"Xiao......" Before she could say another word, Jia Mama's mouth was immediately covered by her husband's hand and he hinted with his eyebrows.
The four elderly had several changes of feelings from anger......to doubt.......to surprise...... then silence.
The strange expressions on their faces kept changing until finally they......smirked.
Zhen Mama tiptoed to the bedroom door and curiously put her ear next to it. In less than 2 seconds, she was pulled back by her husband.
Zhen Papa's expression was very calm but his eyes were smiling slyly which clearly revealed his thoughts. He waved his hand at the others and with tacit understanding, the four people walked out the main door before quietly closing it behind them.
Zhen Papa and Jia Papa had grabbed each other's hands and shook them together. "Congratulations......"
"Same to you......."
After half an hour.
Zhen Papa and Jia Papa's hands were once again held together.
"Admiration......"
"Awesome......"
After an hour.
Both pairs of hands were once again held together.
"Disrepectful......"
(Zhen Papa made this comment as an apology for his son's disrespectful conduct in making them wait for such a long time, but to be fair, the two young people were not even aware the elderly parents were waiting for them. )
"Formidable......"
After an hour and a half.
Jia Mama pulled away her husband's hands that were still clasped in Zhen Papa's hands. "You'd better come with me to the market. Today, I will have to prepare a strong nourishing soup!!!"
At the same time, the four people looked back at the closed main door then they nodded their heads heavily and disappeared into the elevator.
