House Hunting (Part 1)

  How can I get enough of it?!

  Chen Mei was leaning on the door, thinking about pulling down the small sleeping dress that had been flipped up to her waist to cover her exposed legs, which were as white and slender as lotus roots. She also thought about using a sheet to cover Zhao Yang's flat and firm little belly, but she felt too lazy to move!

  If it weren't for the discovery of the young man's morning erection, which made a stick protrude from Zhao Yang's thigh, Chen Mei might have continued to watch!

  She was a married woman and didn't feel too embarrassed even when she saw him, so she just quietly closed the door to avoid any awkwardness in case Zhao Yang suddenly woke up.

  She had thought of going to make breakfast, but after looking at the sky and seeing it was still early, she said maybe the noise of cooking would wake them up, so she went back to her room, bringing a good mood and dozed off for a while.

  There is a very strange phenomenon, in the morning it feels like I slept for five minutes, but when I wake up and look at the time, fifty minutes have passed. At noon, it feels like I slept for fifty minutes, but when I wake up and look at the time, only five minutes have passed!

  Mei felt like she had only dozed off for a short while, but when she opened her eyes, it was already 8:30 in the morning! She quickly sat up and went to Chenxi's room to take a look.

  The door was slightly ajar, and from inside came the occasional sound of happy laughter from his daughter. Opening the door to take a look, Zhao Yang was like a monkey, twisting his waist and lifting his feet with his hands crossed, while Chen Xi followed suit. She was only three years old, her body coordination and stability were not enough, she would fall over after just a few attempts. Fortunately, there were mats and blankets on the ground, so she wouldn't get hurt when she fell, and instead, she would laugh uncontrollably with a bright red face. It had been only one night, but it seemed like she had never been ill at all!

  Zhaoyang stretched out a hand and let Chenxu grab it to climb up, then turned back and said: "You're awake!"

  A good mood and sufficient sleep are a woman's best medicine, so although her hair was disheveled at the moment, the red mark on the right side of her face from sleeping with her hand under her cheek had not yet faded, but her skin had already recovered to its usual smooth whiteness, and her eyes had also calmed down.

  Calm, dignified and elegant, this is the sister-in-law in Zhao Yang's memory!

  Chen Mei smoothed her hair back from her temples and said, "You wait for a while, I'll go make breakfast for you!"

  Xiaoxi jumped in front of her, raising her little head and saying: "Mom, mom, we've already made breakfast! Xiaoxi washed the eggs!"

  Chen Mei looked at Chen Xi's lively little face with surprise and delight, thinking of Zhao Yang bringing her, big and small, to cook quietly, the feeling of happiness overflowed in her heart!

  She picked up Chenxi and kissed her face hard, saying: "Xiaoxi is so great, she can wash eggs now!" And embarrassedly smiled at Zhao Yang: "Zhao Yang, sorry to trouble you! Did she break the egg?"

  Zhao Yang shook his head, and Chen Xi immediately turned around and leaned on Chen Mei's shoulder, giggling.

  After washing up, Chen Mei changed into a loose white shirt, a plain vest and light gray seven-point trousers, with her hair tied back behind her head. This was her usual attire. But at this moment, Zhao Yang thought of many things, yet none of them were suitable to be said here.

  It's better not to say it, so I won't say it. The breakfast table fell into an awkward silence.

  Zhao Yang's phone rang.

  Chen Mei slowed down her eating motion, Chen Xiu stopped and looked at him, Zhao Yang picked up the phone with one hand holding a bowl.

  The phone call was made by Meng Xuehui, who said: "Big brother, has your niece Xiaoxi recovered?"

  Zhao Yang slowly drank his porridge and said, "Mmm, almost done!"

  Meng Xuehui's voice immediately rose, "Haha, I said so, with you coming out, what disease can't be cured? Big brother, look at you too, in a while you bring your wife and Xiaoxi, let's go to the beach to play!"

  The language of China is very magical. For example, the sentence after Meng Xuehui's has no problem in literal sense, but it sounds a bit strange when spoken out!

  However, this can also be considered a linguistic trap. Zhao Yang naturally wouldn't let him get away with it, and he calmly said: "Not going, Little Xi needs to rest for the next few days!"

  Meng Xuehui said with some regret: "How long will it take before we can come out and play?"

  Zhao Yang took a look and saw that he had already finished drinking the soup, leaving only rice grains in the porridge. He put down his bowl and said, "It's going to take at least seven days!"

  Chen Mei took one look and turned around to refill his cup from the stove.

  "Haha, seven days is great! Just in time to check out the beer festival and catch the beauty pageant too! By the way, my mom's coming over in a couple of days, come visit me at home then!" He lowered his voice and said: "Hehe, I won't bother you guys anymore!"

  Zhao Yang didn't know what to say and directly hung up the phone.

  Chen Mei handed the porridge to Zhao Yang and smiled: "Was it a call from your family? Xiaoxi is better now, if there's something going on you should go back!"

  Zhao Yang saw Chen Xi not eating and softly said: "Little Xi, why aren't you eating? The porridge is cold!" Then he smiled at Chen Mei and said: "Not that, it's a friend who wants us to go play by the sea together!"

  Chen Xue suddenly became excited and said: "Great, great! Let's go pick up shells and build sandmen!"

  Zhao Yang tapped on Chen Xiu's bowl with his chopsticks and said, "Eat! I've already refused! You, just stay home honestly for the next few days and wait until your body gets a bit better before I take you out to play!"

  Chen Xi pouted, but still hugged the bowl and drank the sweet porridge.

  Mei suddenly felt relieved and smiled: "Since it's your friend inviting you, go have fun! I'll stay home with Xiaoxi!"

  Chen Xi's little foot was kicking under the table at Chen Mei, of course she couldn't kick her, but still looked at her with great dissatisfaction.

  Zhao Yang smiled and patted Chen Xi's head, saying: "Uncle is not going anywhere, just stay home with Little Xi!"

  The dawn rose again with excitement.

  Meng Xuehui called again in the afternoon and evening, and when he called again the next afternoon, Zhao Yang's phone was out of power and turned off due to excessive calls!

  Zhao Yang's mobile phone was still the Nokia 3100 he bought in college, and the phone bill was 50 yuan that was topped up in May, it's not easy to make it last until now.

  Zhaoyang's phone charger was left at home, Chenmei didn't have a universal charger or a suitable one at her place, so she lent him her Motorola E3 to use for the time being, and she herself found an old Samsung mobile phone to use temporarily.

  Zhao Yang was sitting on a rattan chair playing a word game with Chen Xi, when he saw Chen Mei about to change his phone, he waved his hand and said: "Don't bother, it's overdue anyway!"

  Chen Mei sat beside him, changing his phone while saying: "How can that be? What if there's an emergency and they can't reach you, delaying things? Later I'll recharge your phone online, so it's convenient for your family and friends to contact you..."

  Zhao Yang turned his head and smiled, two white and plump objects appeared before his eyes, and a faint fragrance wafted up to his nostrils! He calmly turned his head back, but his heart began to beat violently!

  As soon as the machine was turned on, a text message popped up. Chen Mei said in surprise, "Didn't we owe money? How can there still be a text message?"

  Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Open it up and take a look, won't you know then?"

  "Suppose it's a private message from a girl, what then?" Meizi said with a sly smile.

  Zhao Yang bitterly smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't tease me!"

  "Okay, then I'll help you take care of it!" She opened the message and exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? Who topped up 1,000 yuan for you?"

  The phone rang again as soon as she finished speaking. Chunmei looked at the caller ID and saw "Xiao Meng" and smiled, saying: "Whose girl is this, so impatient!"

  Miss?

  Zhao Yang took over the phone with a wry smile, if it were a girl, he would have blacklisted him long ago!

  It's well-known that Motorola phones have a distinctive feature - they're extremely loud. As soon as the call connected, Meng Xuehui's heavy breathing came through, sounding like he'd just finished running: "Older brother, you've finally returned to Huang Hai, you must come out and play, at least go take a look at the house?"

  Zhao Yang frowned and said: "I don't have time, go another day when you're free!"

  Meng Xuehui hastily said: "Just one afternoon will be enough, just two hours!"

  Zhao Yang looked at the somewhat dim dawn and sighed: "Alright then!"

  "Great, I'll go pick you up right away!"
