90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 28 I feel a little cold

 Xiao Cheng did not move. The clothes in his hands were in their final stages. They had been washed, wrung out, and were waiting to be dried.

"Wait."

 After saying that, I got up to hang the clothes.

 After drying the clothes, you have to go out.

However, as soon as he turned around, he was stopped. To be precise, it was the little figure who had not spoken to him for two days, who suddenly jumped into his arms and hugged his waist.

He raised his little face, looked at him innocently and fearfully, and said weakly: "There are mice in the house."

 The sudden embrace made Xiao Cheng stunned, and he stopped walking out.

The girl in her arms had a trembling voice. Her little face, which was still a bit rosy during the meal, was now pale with fright, and her slender and soft body was also trembling.

Xiao Cheng's body reaction was several beats slower, and his heartbeat stopped beating for a moment, but he did not push her away.

I have seen her afraid of snakes.

I have never seen her afraid of mice.

Xiao Wei was sitting there washing clothes, peeking silently and saying nothing. A few days ago, a snake appeared in the backyard. He remembered that his elder brother had obviously sprinkled lime powder and rat poison on the side.

 Who is not afraid of dead mice?

 Xiao Cheng seemed to finally remember the matter and explained: "There will be no rats."

“There are some, I saw them all just now! It’s such a big one, bigger than my face!”

Bai Lu was so scared that she buried her face in Xiao Cheng's chest, grabbed the clothes on his chest with both hands, and held on tightly, hanging on him, clinging to him like a paper man.

She understands what the deadline means.

 The time has come to ask Li Chengbin for a debt.

In his previous life, Xiao Cheng went out tonight, and something happened to Li Chengbin’s family the next day.

 Shortly afterwards, the police came to search...

Xiao Cheng, Luo Shiliu, Wang Hao, and Xiao Dazhuang were imprisoned. During this period, Xiao Wei went to deliver seasonal clothes and meals to Xiao Cheng. It is not known whether he was abducted by human traffickers or someone did it deliberately, and he disappeared from sight.

Bai Lu knew that Xiao Cheng had done nothing and was just a chess piece thrown out by the big boss to start a war. However, the consequences of this incident indirectly led to the unknown life and death of Xiao Wei.

 It became a regret that Xiao Cheng could not let go of in his life.

Not to mention, during those days inside, my opponents avenged me for personal reasons and abused electric batons... in an attempt to defeat me.

Tonight, she won't let Xiao Cheng go out no matter what. If you don't be reserved, then don't be reserved.

Since this was the 1990s, no one knew who she was, and family rules and etiquette had no control over her.

 “Brother Cheng?”

In addition to Luo Shiliu, there were also Wang Hao and Xiao Dazhuang outside, shouting one after another.

Afraid that he could not hear clearly, I knocked on the door very hard. The knocking was louder than thunder on a rainy day.

Xiao Cheng frowned and glanced coldly at the door. The thunder of knocking on the door miraculously stopped.

But Bai Lu seemed not to have heard anything from the beginning to the end, turning her ears away from what was going on outside the window. Her hands grabbing the clothes instead hugged Xiao Cheng's waist tightly, refusing to let go.

Xiao Cheng could feel her tense body and fast heartbeat through her knitted sweater and shirt, making his thoughts confused and unable to judge.

 “I have to go out for something.” He explained.

Bai Lu raised her pitiful little face, her clear eyes filled with a thin layer of mist: "But there are mice in the house. What should I do if they jump on the bed at night? I'm scared."

“When I’m scared, I’ll jump up and down and run around. If I accidentally fall, my stomach…”

 You know what will happen to your stomach.

Xiao Cheng's eyes were full of her crystal clear water mist, and he couldn't hear what was said clearly. There might be the word "fear", and there was a muffled trembling sound coming from his arms.

 The hand that was hanging by her side was finally raised and patted her twice on the back.

　　“I’ll go take a look.” 　　　　Go, go, catch mice?

 Xiao Wei's eyes almost popped out of his head.

How to catch mice if there are no mice in the house? Where to catch it?

Bai Lu is obviously lying, can't brother see it?

Xiao Cheng took Bai Lu and searched every room in the house, under the bed and under the bed, in the wardrobe and wooden boxes, in every nook and cranny, even in the kitchen, woodshed, and bathroom.

 Check again and again that there are no mice.

Then he comforted her and said she would be back later, then turned around and walked out the door with hurried steps.

 Don’t waste a moment.

 Haven’t reached the door yet.

 There was a scream from behind.

Xiao Cheng's waist was hugged again, and the girl's trembling voice came from behind: "There was a mouse, a big one, and it just ran past my feet, really!"

 “Zhizhi!”

　　A mouse barked from somewhere.

The little body behind Xiao Cheng instantly turned to the front and was buried in his chest again. The soft and boneless hands tightly grasped his arm. The whole little body was trembling from head to toe. He couldn't stand still and was about to die. To slip.

 He had no choice but to bend down and, just like last time, carried the weak-legged girl back to the room and put her on the bed.

However, this time, Bai Lu didn't give Xiao Cheng a chance to leave. She hugged his neck tightly as soon as she got off the bed.

I don’t know where the divine power came from, so I just grabbed him, an old man, out of bed and pulled the quilt to cover him.

 It's still the same quilt.

  Xiao Cheng: “…”

A faint fragrance penetrated her nose. It was obviously her quilt, and his was neatly folded at the end of the bed.

"I feel a little cold. Covering a quilt can keep each other warm and protect each other. There is really a mouse in the house. It screamed so loud just now. Didn't you hear it?"

Bai Lu's face was next to Xiao Cheng's shoulder, her hands were holding his strong and thin waist, and her body shivering in his arms was shaking, which vividly demonstrated her fear of mice.

"Besides, it's so dark at night that you can't even find a mouse. What if a mouse suddenly climbs onto the bed and bites me in the middle of the night? Will I die? Will the baby in my belly die? …”

 "A Cheng...I'm afraid..."

 In the past few days, each slept separately, with the quilts separated. These two nights, they slept back to back, ignoring each other.

Caught off guard with the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms, Xiao Cheng was stunned for a long time, forgetting where to put his hands. The rapidly beating heart of the person in his arms, the soft and trembling voice, penetrated into the bone marrow and infected his heartbeat. Not calm.

Xiao Cheng took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and then put it down. I don't know when it gently fell on Bai Lu's back. Maybe it had been inadvertently dropped when he was lying down.

Or her last four words, which dispelled the coldness of the past two days, and her big hands gently patted and comforted her again.

It also becomes natural.

 “Don’t be afraid…”

　　The deep voice was also a little less cold than before, a little more lulling to sleep, and a rare gentleness.

Bai Lu didn't need to think about it to know that Xiao Cheng definitely wanted to wait for her to fall asleep before going out.

 She won’t sleep!

　　　You can’t be seduced by his soft voice even if you pinch your thighs!

  —

Xiao Wei finished drying his clothes and waited for a while. No one came out, so he silently returned to the house and bolted the door.

 Then he walked back to his room, closed the door and went to sleep.

 The lights in the main room were all out, and no one had come out yet. Xiao Dazhuang and others waiting outside the wall were all stunned.

“Sixteen, why did you imitate a mouse just now?” Wang Hao couldn’t wait for Xiao Cheng, so he could only blame Luo Shiliu.
