Chapter 1271: Chapter 736: The First Time in This Unusual CP, Only Turtles Cultivate for a Thousand Years (Update 3)

"What are you dodging for? They say it takes a hundred years to share a boat and a thousand years to share a bed. We must have had some destiny in our past lives." Qi Zeyan was full of energy and didn’t feel sleepy at all.

Ruan Mengxi spoke in a hoarse voice, rolling her eyes, possibly due to dried tear stains.

"Have you heard that saying?"

"Hm?" Qi Zeyan thought that at times like this, the two should have some warm and intimate words.

But Ruan Mengxi went straight ahead and said:

"They say a tortoise lives a thousand years, haven’t you heard of the thousand-year tortoise, ten-thousand-year turtle?"

"..."

Qi Zeyan felt like he might just be angered to death by this woman.

And Ruan Mengxi felt like she might be angered to death by Qi Zeyan. Couldn’t he see she was really tired and just wanted to sleep?

It’s all done and over with...

Now you want to talk about feelings? Are you poisoned or something?

Isn’t it usually talking about feelings first? After it’s all done, you want to have a heart-to-heart? If she had the energy, she would’ve kicked him off the bed long ago.

**

When Ruan Mengxi woke up again, it was already past ten in the morning the next day. But with the curtains drawn, the room was dimly lit, giving off the illusion of time standing still.

She turned over slightly, her waist and legs sore. Thinking of last night, she felt her ears getting hot again.

Indeed, watching pigs run and being tossed around by a pig is a different feeling.

But the room was exceptionally quiet, and she was alone. After a night of warmth, waking up alone, Ruan Mengxi wasn’t a sentimental person but felt a little lost inside. She picked up her phone and saw the message Qi Zeyan had sent.

The message from seven o’clock:

[I’m going to have a meal with my parents and then send off some relatives. I’ll be back around noon. Call me when you wake up.]

Parents?

Ruan Mengxi then remembered that there was an engagement party yesterday, and both the parents and the Qi Family people were at the hotel.

But Qi Zeyan definitely wouldn’t tell everyone what happened with Ruan Mengxi. He had some sense of propriety and only said she was too tired from the engagement stuff and needed more rest.

Ruan Family relatives all said that Ruan Mengxi found a considerate boyfriend who cared for her. But the close ones, especially Ruan Family parents, couldn’t possibly not notice anything?

Especially Ruan Daqiang, his face was quite unpleasant, though he had had a lot to drink yesterday, so everyone thought his demeanor was understandable.

Ruan Daqiang knew very well that today’s young people were very open, one-night stands, flash weddings were all normal. Their relationship development wasn’t considered fast.

It was only a matter of time before his daughter was tossed around by this pig, but knowing it actually happened felt uncomfortable.

Old Master Qi, on the other hand, was quite happy. He couldn’t wait for the two of them to give him a great-grandchild soon.

Ruan Daqiang was originally fuming, but when the Qi Family started talking about Jiang Xiaowai, he thought about having a cute little grandson of his own and he wasn’t so depressed anymore. He even said he’d teach the grandson Martial Arts.

"What if it’s a granddaughter?" Ruan’s mother laughed.

"Then she should also learn Martial Arts. Girls today need to learn to protect themselves, and Martial Arts strengthens the body. I think our country’s Martial Arts are much better than things like Tae Kwon Do."

...

Qi Zeyan was just standing on the side listening; if it really was a daughter, learning Martial Arts with him?

Just imagining his daughter turning into a muscle-clad girl made his veins pop. He couldn’t let that happen.

After sending off the relatives and friends, the two families planned to have lunch outside before heading back, so of course, they’d call Ruan Mengxi to join them. On his way back to the room, Qi Zeyan specially called Jiang Chengsi.

**

Jiang Chengsi spent the night on the sofa in the living room and in the early morning planned to go out to buy breakfast, only to find the door couldn’t be unlocked.

A lock with a key from the inside.

What kind of nonsense is this?

From the inside, wouldn’t using a bolt suffice? Why use a key? Is it to keep thieves in or prevent him from escaping?

After breakfast, Jiang Chengsi figured he could go out for a stroll or maybe a date, but Si Qingxiao told him that the qipao was damaged because of him, so she needed to mend it and couldn’t go out for now.

He originally thought mending clothes would be simple, but she was doing fine work, needing needle and thread to mend the tears bit by bit. It wasn’t something that could be finished in a few minutes.

Jiang Chengsi, who couldn’t sit still by nature, hovered by her side, bothering her eyes, "Si Ge, why don’t you do something for me?"

"Sure, you tell me."

"I’ve been away for a while, and the garden’s flowers and weeds are all over the place. Help me trim them, so I don’t have to hire a gardener."

"..."

How could he refuse his girlfriend’s request?

So when Qi Zeyan called, he was squatting in the garden pulling weeds. To be honest, he never imagined in his life that his first day at his girlfriend’s place would be spent weeding.

When he received the call, his tone naturally carried some annoyance.

"What? Didn’t you have a spring night with your ’Xiao Miss’ last night? Why so upset."

"What do you want?" Jiang Chengsi asked directly.

"I just wanted to ask if you weren’t planning to overtake on the curve? How did it go last night?"

"What’s it to you?"

"Did the car flip?"

"..."

"Didn’t even get in the car?"

Jiang Chengsi took a deep breath, "You’re asking for a beating, aren’t you?"

"Just asking, alright then, I’m off to wake Xixi up, talk to you later."

Wake up?

The sun’s already shining on your back, and you’re still not up?

It dawned on Jiang Chengsi as he realized suddenly...

When Si Qingxiao finished mending the qipao and came into the yard, she was taken aback for a while.

She just asked him to tidy up a bit, and he nearly plucked the lawn bald.

"Stop now, go wash your hands, and we’ll go out for lunch." If this continued, this yard would be ruined.

Jiang Chengsi stood up, his waist still aching from a bump last night, and he rubbed it a couple of times, "What do you want to eat?"

"I know some good places to eat."

"How long have you been staying in Pingjiang?"

"I come occasionally. The slower pace here suits me. I quite like it."

...

After lunch, the two of them went to Yiyu Tea House to listen to a storytelling performance. Jiang Chengsi wasn’t really interested in this kind of thing. Once the novelty wore off, his enthusiasm waned. However, with his girlfriend by his side, he was in a good mood.

Jiang Chengsi hadn’t returned all night nor for lunch at noon, and by evening, while Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan weren’t anxious, the old master Tang was urging.

"Where’s Chengsi at? Still not back? Call him and tell him to come back for dinner."

"I’ll give him a call."

When Jiang Jinsang called him, the sound of the performance was quite loud in the tea house, so Jiang Chengsi found a quiet spot to answer.

"You coming home tonight?"

"We’ll see, most likely not." Staying with Tang Family, besides bird-walking, there’s nothing much to do, nothing as pleasant as being with his girlfriend.

"Do you think it’s appropriate to stay over there like that?"

"It’s dangerous for her to stay alone."

"You’re the danger by staying there."

"I went to guard the door for her, protect her. You, can’t you think of something healthier?"

Jiang Jinsang just chuckled; how could he know Jiang Chengsi was literally helping to guard the door?
