Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 51
Kang Tong came back on temporary basis. Auntie was put on a long vacation by Lian Jue. Before the day of returning to work, Lian Jue has no plans to let her back for the time being. The wife is pregnant and a child was already in the household, so it is reasonable to be left alone to take care of themselves. Ting Wei’s situation is special and he is not prepared to take this risk.
Shen Tingwei didn’t show any objection to this. He was not used to being served by others. He just heard Lian Jue talking about dismissing his previous aunt and when his belly was full, he would ask Lin Chen to hire a tight-lipped Yuesao to take care of him. When he thought about it, he was a little worried about whether Kang Tong would be emotional.
“Probably not.” Lian Jue lifted his eyelids from the Economic Times and looked at him, “You are here now.”
…
Shen Tingwei and Kang Tong got along so well, not only Lian Jue, but even Shen Tingwei himself did not expect it.
It must be that Kang Tong is usually too lonely, Lian Jue is not often at home and his aunt is old. Although he is very close to him, there are occasional obstacles in communication. So in just a few days, he was full of affection for this big brother who ‘falls from the sky’, who can talk with him, play with him, teach him homeworknand cook well.
Kang Tong is clingy but not annoying. Shen Tingwei sometimes thinks that he has a wink that makes one’s heart aching.
If Shen Tingwei was doing housework, he would run over to help him with the work he could; if Shen Tingwei was reading a book, he would also find a book to read quietly on the same table with Shen Tingwei. Shen Tingwei would crochet a collar for the cat, Kang Tong would sit on the sofa and watch animations and occasionally look at him.
Shen Tingwei has always been very tolerant towards children, especially a sensible and obedient child like Kang Tong.
He knows that Lian Jue’s career may be at a high point in the near future. He leaves early and returns late every day. The fatigue between his brows has never been relieved. Shen Tingwei couldn’t help, so he could only take care of the house as best as he could. At least, let Lian Jue not worry about him and Kang Tong.
After dinner, Kang Tong changed into his pajamas but he wasn’t sleepy.
Kang Tong was still on summer vacation, so he couldn’t even care about time. Shen Tingwei didn’t ask him for anything. He could sleep until he woke up naturally every morning. If he get up late, he will naturally fall asleep later than when he went to school.
Shen Tingwei put the knitted collar on the cat. Kang Tong squatted beside him, rubbing the kitten’s head and the kitten’s collar for a while. Shen Tingwei asked him jokingly, “You want it too?”
Who knew Kang Tong would actually nod his head and ask, “Is it alright?”
Shen Tingwei laughed and tapped the tip of his nose: “Do you want to be a kitten too?”
Kang Tong bowed his head in embarrassment.
Shen Tingwei thought about the remaining thread, it should be enough to weave a scarf for him, thinking that the weather will be cold in a few months anyway, so he said, “No problem.”
When standing up from the ground, Shen Tingwei felt top-heavy and erratic for a moment. He was quickly grabbed by Kang Tong next to him.
Until he stood firm, Kang Tong still held his hand tightly and did not dare to loosen it, looking flustered: “Brother, are you not feeling well?”
Shen Tingwei is not physically uncomfortable, but as the fetus in his belly grows, he can always feel the slight fetal movement in his belly recently… and the hormones mentioned by the doctor in the last check-up to him. Language is the change of pheromone.
Shen Tingwei has long been worried about his pheromones since he was divided. He is not good at drinking himself. The elders in the family have always been strict with him and they have never allowed him to drink outside, so every time his body emits this burst of alcohol. The fragrance would make him dizzy for a while.
He kind of regretted that he didn’t take a good health care class at school and he didn’t know how to deal with the occasional pheromone disorder that accompanies pregnancy, aside from suppressants.
Shen Tingwei did not only appease himself but also Kang Tong. He patted the back of Kang Tong’s hand lightly and said, “It’s okay, it’s just that I got up suddenly. Don’t worry.”
Kang Tong looked at him suspiciously, as if judging the veracity of his words.
Shen Tingwei smiled and said softly, “It’s really okay.” He tried to divert his attention, forcibly cheered up, opened his eyes slightly and said to Kang Tong, “Well… Tong Tong, do you want to play a game with brother?”
…
When Lian Jue entered, Kang Tong was lying on the sofa, covering his eyes and counting the numbers in a low voice: ” , , …”
Lian Jue glanced at the time displayed on the wall clock and asked, “Why are you still not sleeping?”
When Kang Tong suddenly heard his voice, he was startled and the numbers in his mouth were heavy.
He raised his head and looked at Lian Jue: “I… I’m playing hide and seek with Brother Shen…”
There was no difficulty in finding the place where Shen Tingwei was hiding. Maybe there was a mentality to let Kang Tong deliberately. Shen Tingwei did not leave many flaws – for example, the door of the utility room was not closed tightly and the cat was squatting in the storage room with its tail raised in front of the locker.
The sliding door was opened with a ‘swish’ and the light in the living room suddenly poured in.
The sweet and slightly sour taste of fruit wine was originally crowded and hidden in this narrow and airtight space. As the cabinet door opened, he rushed out. Shen Tingwei sat in the locker hugging his knees, and turned his head slightly in response. The eyes that are not very clear and bright are slightly blank. They look at the wide figure standing against the light at the door of the cabinet.
Now is the hot season, the door of the utility room will not be opened normally and the air-conditioning in the living room will naturally not blow in.
Not to mention that in such a narrow cabinet, it will only get more stuffy. Shen Tingwei hasn’t stayed in it for just over a minute yet his legs are a little sorenand his cheeks seem to have been steamed by heat. They look unnatural. of red.
Lian Jue stared at him condescendingly, Shen Tingwei could not clearly see his expression hidden in the shadows but he was still frozen by his blurry but sharp eyes.
Lian Jue seemed to be angry.
Although he couldn’t figure out the reason for his anger, Shen Tingwei raised his chin slightly: “Lian…”
“Come out.” Lian Jue interrupted coldly. After speaking, he turned around and left the utility room without looking at him.
Shen Tingwei clumsily came out of the cabinet holding his stomach, closed the cabinet door and followed Lian Jue out of the utility room without a word.
Kang Tong stood in front of the sofa with his head down, his hands twisting the hem of his pajamas and when he heard the voice, he quietly raised his eyes and looked at Shen Tingwei, who was standing behind Lian Jue, pressing his swollen temples in a trance, noticing Kang Tong’s eyes with Lianjue behind his back. He pouted, and smiled helplessly at him.
Kang Tong originally had a bitter face but when he saw him smiling, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.
As soon as he lowered his head and grinned, Lian Jue gave him a blank glance, so he had to hold back quickly, not daring to say anything.
Shen Tingwei meant to smooth things out, he walked quickly to Kang Tong’s side and wanted to tell Lian Jue that it was his idea and let him not blame the child. Lian Jue did not wait for him to speak, he asked with a serious expression and a straight tone: “What time is it?”
“…” Shen Tingwei didn’t have time to say an answer and was choked back in his stomach by his question. He pursed the corner of his mouth slightly, knowing that he was wrong and did not say a word.
Lian Jue’s slightly heavy eyes slowly swept over the two people who had shrunk into quails in front of him and finally stopped for a while on the lower abdomen that Shen Tingwei was gently protecting with his hands. He seemed to have nothing to say about their behavior, he then turned around and was planning to go upstairs.
Shen Tingwei exchanged glances with Kang Tong, wrinkled his nose and said to Kang Tong silently: Your father is angry.
Kang Tong knew that he had done something wrong and that he had provoked Lian Jue, so he stuck out his tongue in a guilty conscience.
Lian Jue stopped when he walked to the entrance of the stairs. He turned his face sideways, not knowing if he noticed Kang Tong’s small expression, his eyes darkened a bit anyway and said to Kang Tong in a serious tone: “Come here.”
Kang Tong looked at Shen Tingwei insecurely and followed with drooping shoulders.
