Yang Cheng sighed. "You're the one who forced me to say it …"
"Don't waste time. Hurry up and say it. But I'm warning you, technology is very advanced now. If you spout nonsense, I can analyze it with a translation tool. So if you can't, just give up. "Lin Ruoxi revealed a rare mischievous smile, waiting for Yang Cheng to embarrass himself and admit defeat.
Yang Cheng looked at her strangely, cleared his throat, and began to translate. "… Joseph came. He gently pushed open the door to my room. I could hear my heartbeat. It was so full of the desire to be loved … I didn't know if I should wake up and stop him. Charles was next door. He was Joseph's brother, my husband, but we both betrayed him at this moment …"
At this point, Lin Ruoxi was stunned, but she didn't say anything. She looked at Yang Cheng suspiciously, unable to determine whether this was true or not.
Yang Cheng was also helpless. He continued to translate. "Joseph kissed my earlobe. I feel my body burning up. How long has it been? Oh … my dear Joseph, you are like a warm furnace in winter, a lush green in summer. I can't get rid of you … Oh, my dear, kiss me, take me … Forget who Daphne is to you. Forget who you are. We are just a pair of pitiful lovers … Joseph kissed my chest …"
"Stop!"
Lin Ruoxi finally couldn't listen anymore. Her ears turned red. After closing the book, she gritted her teeth and said, "How can you be like this?! Even if you don't know how to translate, don't make things up. Why are you saying such vulgar things?! "
Yang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I didn't make things up. This is what's written in the book."
"Who would believe you! You must be lying. How could this book have such content? Don't the censors know? "
Yang Cheng didn't know why he was here, but Lin Ruoxi couldn't accept such words. It seemed that his wife was very conservative in this aspect. It should be known that this kind of body language was common overseas.
At this moment, a tall, grey-haired old man walked over from the other side of the bookshelf. He wore a gray sweater and a pair of presbyopic glasses. He smiled at Lin Ruoxi and said, "Miss, this young man isn't lying. I've read that book before. There are indeed those fragments in it."
Lin Ruoxi looked at the old man in confusion. "You are …"
"My surname is Zhao. You can call me Old Zhao. I specialize in studying Indo-European languages, so I know Albanian. That young man's translation should be correct. I remember that this book is mainly about a Serbian woman hesitating about whether to betray her marriage or not. Her name should be Daphne, "Old Zhao explained.
Lin Ruoxi certainly didn't think that a kind-looking old man would come over and cooperate with Yang Cheng to lie to her. Although she knew that she had wronged Yang Cheng, she still felt wronged when she saw Yang Cheng's smug look. What was this guy's brain made of? How could he know such an unpopular language!
"Thank you, Old Zhao. Are you here to read the book too?" Yang Cheng was very grateful to this old man. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to explain himself.
Old Zhao smiled and shook his head. "I'm here to read for my wife." As he said that, Old Zhao pointed to the other end of the bookshelf. There was an old woman in a wheelchair. She was also close to 60 years old and looked very weak.
"My wife's cataracts couldn't be cured. She's blind and can't read. She used to work in the same research institute as me. I didn't expect her to be blind at her age. Researchers like us are basically useless without eyes. My wife has been staying at home for a few years and started to develop dementia. I was anxious, so I quit my job and brought her here every day to read for her and walk with her. This way, she won't be muddle-headed and can remember more things. " Old Zhao's eyes were a little moist as he spoke of the sad part. "Last year, she asked me what my name was. She only remembered that my surname was Zhao and couldn't remember my name. Thinking back to when I was young, my wife was also a famous expert in the research institute. I didn't expect that she would soon forget who I was as she got older. How could I not be anxious … "
Lin Ruoxi's heart was pure. When she heard this, she felt sad for the old couple and comforted, "Old Zhao, don't be sad. Madam Zhao will get better."
"Haha …" Old Man Zhao laughed heartily and said, "It's hard to get better. I've thought it through. Whether she remembers me or not, I remember her. I remember that we've been through decades of ups and downs together. That's enough. In a few years, we'll just be two piles of ashes. But in the end, we'll be together in death. That's enough. "
Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi listened and were silent. The old man's words sounded sloppy and plain, but they were full of the most precious things in the world.
Old Zhao suddenly looked at the two of them and said, "You two are also husband and wife, right?"
"Ah?" Lin Ruoxi blushed slightly and couldn't say a word.
Yang Cheng nodded. "We just got married not long ago."
Old Zhao laughed and said, "Young man, you're lucky to have such a beautiful girl as your wife. But you look quite tired too. The books in your hands add up to at least 50 kilograms. I'm tired just looking at you. "
At this time, Lin Ruoxi subconsciously looked at the two book baskets that Yang Cheng had placed on the ground. The books were actually piled up like a small mountain. She didn't notice that she had already chosen so many books.
Frowning, Lin Ruoxi bent over and tried to lift one of the baskets. Who knew that she would be so tired even with one hand. She stretched out both hands and barely managed to pull the basket up.
Putting down the heavy basket, Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng strangely. When she thought about how this man had silently walked with her for three hours, carrying such a large and heavy basket with both hands without making a sound … a strong wave of guilt and emotion welled up in Lin Ruoxi's heart. She looked up at Yang Cheng with a complicated expression.
Yang Cheng saw this scene and smiled indifferently. To him, these things were nothing, but to an ordinary person, a girl, it was too heavy.
Picking up the two baskets again, Yang Cheng said, "It's okay, I don't feel that it's that heavy."
Old Man Zhao nodded approvingly, "Nowadays, when young girls look for a partner, they only know how to choose those who are handsome and rich. I think you're honest, young man. The weight of these two baskets is much more valuable than those things. Miss, you have to cherish it. Don't waste this good marriage. "After saying that, Old Man Zhao smiled and waved his hand. He went back to push his wife and slowly left.
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was still staring at him, Yang Cheng couldn't help but smile and said, "I know you don't agree with Old Man Zhao's words. I also think that I'm quite handsome, right?"
Lin Ruoxi smiled faintly and said softly, "Take the elevator down first. Wait for me at the cashier. I'll go get two more books."
Suddenly hearing his wife talking to him in such a gentle voice, Yang Cheng almost thought that he was hallucinating. But thinking that two books wouldn't take much time, he took the two baskets and went downstairs alone.
Less than five minutes after he arrived downstairs, Lin Ruoxi also came out of the elevator. But she was holding two books tightly in her hands, and some of them were hidden from others.
Yang Cheng didn't ask her what books she was hiding from him. After putting the two baskets on the cashier, he went to the side and watched Lin Ruoxi pay.
Fortunately, there was a trolley on the first floor. Otherwise, Lin Ruoxi would have a hard time carrying nearly a hundred books.
Many people saw that Lin Ruoxi bought so many books in one go, and they whispered to each other about how "corrupt" life was. After all, books weren't cheap, and a few thousand yuan was gone. Lin Ruoxi didn't even blink when she swiped her card.
Yang Cheng pushed the trolley and walked with Lin Ruoxi to the parking lot. On the way, he couldn't help but ask, "Ruoxi, my wife, you bought so many books. Can you finish them?"
Lin Ruoxi replied in a serious manner, "Actually, many books are used for information. I don't have to finish them all. Also, I like to collect all kinds of books."
Yang Cheng was puzzled. It wasn't like her to talk to him so calmly. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Wife, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? That doesn't sound like you. "
When Lin Ruoxi heard this, she suddenly felt unhappy. Was it wrong for her to talk to him nicely? Thus, she said snappily, "Are you trying to be cheap? Must I scold you and ridicule you before I'm happy? "
"Oh, that's right! That's the tone, that's normal! "Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes and was speechless.
When it came to the back of the car, it would naturally take a lot of effort to put in a large pile of books. After all, it was easy to damage the books.
When he was about to finish putting the books away, Yang Chen casually picked up a book from the bottom of the shopping cart. He was stunned for a moment.
Lin Ruoxi was thinking about something when she saw Yang Cheng holding a book in a daze. She looked at him suspiciously, but this glance made her blush all the way to her ears. Her face was as beautiful as the autumn moon …
Crap! How could he have forgotten to hide it!?
This book was one of the last two books that Lin Ruoxi had chosen. The title of the book was — —
The Guide to a Good Wife and Loving Mother …
