She is brighter than the stars

Li Shubai's deep gaze rested on Cheng Nian's face.

He lowered his head without further interest, touched Cheng Nian's eyelids with his lips, and said softly.

"not enough."

Cheng Nian was slightly taken aback, "What?"

Li Shubai raised his hand, and his fingers traced down Cheng Nian's open neckline, stopped at the position of her heart, and poked it.

"Not enough sincerity."

Hearing what Li Shubai said, Cheng Nian breathed a sigh of relief, somehow feeling that Li Shubai like this is actually quite cute.

She smiled flatteringly, and pressed Li Shubai's lips heavily.

"The other men in my heart have long since died, and there is only you anyway."

Li Shubai looked at Cheng Nian's serious appearance, and the gloom in his heart was instantly swept away.

He knew he was easy to coax, but there was nothing he could do.

Being loved is an addictive thing.

In the past, only a touch of sweetness was needed to fill him up, but recently these gaps have become more and more numerous.

But if he can always get a response, maybe he can push a little further.

In Habei, the heating has been turned on as early as the end of October, and the room is warm, like spring.

Wu Tong, who was wearing a black vest, sneezed for no reason.

He patted his head, put down the kitchen knife in his hand, walked quickly into the room, lay down beside the bed like a dog, and whispered something.

"Honey, I seem to have a cold."

The person who was sleeping with squinted eyes immediately sat up from the bed when he heard what he said.

She reached out and touched Wu Tong's forehead, "I don't think you have a fever, go get a temperature measurement. I'll find you a pack of granules and drink it first."

Wu Tong's brows and eyes curled up. If he had a tail, he must be shaking right now.

"No need to take medicine, it's just a small cold, just sweat and it'll be fine."

The person sitting on the bed blinked, blushed and pulled up the silk pajamas that had slipped off a little, and whispered: "Then go for a run outside."

Wu Tong didn't know when he had quietly moved onto the bed.

With a handsome face full of anger, he said pitifully, "It's so cold outside, if we go out, the cold might get worse."

"But I'm still a little sleepy."

Wu Tong threw off the quilt and got in, pulling him into his arms, "Then you hug me to sleep."

The person in his arms sighed helplessly and helped him cover the quilt.

Not half a minute passed.

"Wu Tong, do you want to sleep or not?"

A burst of smug laughter came out.

"I'm not asleep."

Oh man.

·

Soon it was Saturday, Cheng Nian prepared some organic vegetables in advance.

Cheng Nian was quite embarrassed when he left without saying goodbye last time.

The Chu family must have everything, so she just wanted to express her feelings.

This time again, the person who greeted Cheng Nian was replaced by Li Ying.

Li Ying hadn't seen Cheng Nian for a long time, and he was very kind, so he pulled her and talked a lot.

After a while, Chu Xiangyun also came down from upstairs and sat on the sofa on the other side far away.

Cheng Nian was still a little guilty when facing Chu Xiangyun because of the ring.

Chu Xiangyun didn't remember this incident at all, and sat there gracefully, talking to Cheng Nian from time to time.

Li Shubai sat beside Cheng Nian, with a faint smile unconsciously on his face.

Not seeing Chu Mingmei, Cheng Nian leaned into Li Shubai's ear and whispered, "Where's Mingmei? Why isn't she at home?"

The corners of Li Shubai's lips raised slightly, "She was bored at home, so she took the initiative to apply to work abroad, and I helped her arrange it."

Cheng Nian felt baffled and said in surprise, "So suddenly? When did you leave? Why didn't you tell me?"

Li Shubai laughed softly: "It's okay, I'll be back soon."

Not long after the things in the kitchen were ready, the servant came to ask Li Ying to cook.

Although Cheng Nian was the one who opened his mouth and stretched out his hand when he was at home, he had to feel good about it when he got here, "Auntie, let me help you."

Xu Shi directly regarded Cheng Nian as his daughter-in-law, and wanted to get closer to her.

Li Ying nodded happily and said, "I made some steamed pork ribs, come and taste it."

Cheng Nian didn't even plan to get up, but when he heard Li Ying say that, he could only stand up quickly and follow her to the kitchen.

Chu Xiangyun looked at Li Shubai with a loving smile on his face, "Are you happy now?"

Li Shubai looked away, and looked at Chu Xiangyun gratefully, "Thank you, aunt."

Chu Xiangyun snorted, "Thank me for what, you deserve what you have today."

Li Shubai lowered his head, hesitantly said: "The bright thing..."

Chu Xiangyun waved his hand and said indifferently, "You don't need to tell me about your affairs, I will go back in two days."

"Do you not consider staying in the country?"

Chu Xiangyun stretched out his hand to look at his exquisite nails, shook his head and said, "No, here is a place with beautiful mountains, rivers, and food, but unfortunately, there are too many people and things that make people feel bad."

Li Shubai knew that Chu Xiangyun still cared about Li Ying and Chu Xingzhi.

The grievances of the previous generation were entangled, and he didn't want to interfere in the past, so he whispered: "What do you want me to do for you?"

Chu Xiangyun shrugged, "I don't need your help. You just need to take care of Mingyan and Mingmei. If necessary, throw away your pawn to save the car."

Li Shubai calmly looked at Chu Xiangyun's face, and replied in a low voice, "I see."

In the kitchen, Cheng Nian stood aside a little awkwardly, watching Li Ying cook with three or four other servants.

Although the living room of the Chu family was deserted, the kitchen was very lively, and it was even more equipped than the back kitchens of some small restaurants.

After a while, Li Shubai also walked in, "Do you need my help?"

Li Ying glanced at his son, showing a helpless and doting smile, "Why have I never seen you help me cook before?"

Li Shubai was at a loss for words for a moment, and a guilty expression appeared on his face.

Cheng Nian glanced at Li Shubai, gently squeezed his hand, and smiled at Li Ying: "We will come back often in the future, so he will naturally help Auntie more."

Li Ying glanced at the two hands clasped tightly, and couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

For Li Shubai, she was not without guilt.

Although Li Shubai never said it in front of her, she always felt that it was her fault that she couldn't give Li Shubai a complete childhood.

Because of her stubbornness and self-esteem, Li Shubai suffered a lot.

After returning to Chu's house, although Chu Xingzhi treated her well, she couldn't help Li Shubai.

She knew that it was immoral to be with Chu Xingzhi, and she also knew that it was impossible for a person like Chu Xingzhi to do anything deviant for her.

Chu Xingzhi is indeed not a good person, but for so many years, under his protection, everyone in the Chu family has lived a life without worrying about food and clothing.

Leaving the splendor and wealth aside, the strong sense of family honor would not allow Chu Xingzhi to do this.

So no matter how much hardship he endured later, Li Ying only felt that he deserved it.
