Yun Jingqi started to prepare dinner excitedly. In her heart, her younger brother's return was a big deal. Not only could he recuperate, but he could also reunite with his family. It had been ten years, and this was indeed a rare opportunity.
She chattered on and on. She was no longer as capable as she used to be. Instead, she was like an inexperienced young girl.
Mi Xaing 'er sat at the side and watched her. She was curious. Second Sister Yun was a woman who had a strong sense of family. She was beautiful and came from a good family background. Why was she still unmarried at the age of 30?
She thought of this.
For some reason, she thought of Tong Che. She felt that the two of them were very compatible in terms of appearance and temperament. She was about to mention Tong Che, but she changed her mind and swallowed her words.
She was a clear person who was also well-versed in the ways of the world. She did not intend to say anything rash.
After Yun Jingqi left, only the couple was left in the room. Mi Xaing 'er then turned to her husband. "Tiger, let me ask you something."
Yun Jingting narrowed his eyes and looked at him carefully. There was a knowing smile on his lips. "You can't hold it in anymore, right? You're finally going to ask."
Mi Xaing 'er was a little puzzled. "You know what I'm going to ask?"
She was really impressed by Yun Jingting's observation skills.
Yun Laohu turned her gaze to the window indifferently. The cool breeze brushed against the big poplar tree outside the window. The sunlight penetrated between the branches and leaves, and it looked like a net of light casually woven by the breeze. It was indescribably beautiful.
He did not speak.
Mi Xaing 'er did not pursue the matter either.
After some time, Yun Laohu sighed faintly. "My sister has seen the world. She's the best. Of course, she's not willing to compromise. That's why she's more picky about men. Until now, she hasn't found a suitable one."
“”
Yun Laohu retracted her gaze, lowered her head slightly, and looked at the ground. "Of course, with my sister's qualifications, there are many people who would introduce boyfriends to her or pursue her. However, she has always been hiding someone in her heart. Although she has never said it out loud, we all know in our hearts …"
Mi Xaing 'er said calmly, "The person in her heart is Tong Che."
At this moment, Yun Laohu was surprised. He couldn't help but admire his wife's observation skills and calmness. "If you know about Tong Che, why didn't you mention him just now?"
Mi Xaing 'er did not answer her question and instead asked, "Do you think I should mention him in front of Second Sister?"
Yun Laohu nodded to herself. Her daughter-in-law was smart enough!
"Where did you meet Tong Che? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Mi Xaing 'er then told her husband what had happened that day in detail. "That's what happened. He was cleaning the county library. There was a little girl with him. I heard that she's his younger sister."
"Little girl?"
"Yes, her name is Tian Xiner. She was born on the same day as me, right?"
Yun Laohu's expression did not look good. "How's their relationship?"
"Yes, it's quite good. They're just like biological siblings." Mi Xaing 'er said as she handed her husband a glass of warm water. She watched him drink it all. "What's wrong? Why do you ask?"
Yun Jingting casually placed the glass of water on the bedside table. "Tong Che is arrogant. He looks gentle, but in reality, he's very cold inside. I've known him since he was young, but I've never seen him have any friends."
Gentle?
Not bad.
Just by looking at their appearances, Tong Che and Yun Laohu were two people with extreme personalities. Tong Che was a gentle gentleman. He was always polite and no one could tell what he was thinking. Yun Laohu, on the other hand, was the opposite. He was always cold. Although it was difficult to get close to his heart, once he opened his heart, he was as passionate as fire.
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. "His self-restraint is indeed good, but I always feel that he's a little too polite. However, he really dotes on Tian Xiner. Even if Tian Xiner did something wrong, he wouldn't say anything. He's a little like a father. Don't they all say that daughters are their fathers' little lovers? True love that will never get angry."
Yun Jingting did not speak. No one knew what he was thinking.
Mi Xaing 'er poked his waist. "It's just the two of us now. Why don't you tell me about Tong Che? I'm quite interested in him. Let's not talk about other things. He's really smart and has an excellent memory. I heard that he's also a language genius."
Yun Jingting laughed involuntarily. "The abilities you mentioned are all insignificant to him."
"Ah …"
"How should I put it? He's a genius. He's been the most outstanding since he was young. Whether it's his family background or personal knowledge, he's the best. His grandfather was the Qing Dynasty's minister of commerce. As for his father, before liberation, he was a financial consultant for the Republic of China. He was the son of his father's second wife. His mother was Jewish. Therefore, Tong Che is mixed-race.
Oh!
So the Tong family had such a background. Mi Xaing 'er became more energetic when she heard this. She leaned forward in her chair and grabbed Yun Laohu's arm. "Continue."
Yun Laohu crooked the corner of her mouth and used her hand to scratch her nose. "Why are you so interested in other people's affairs?"
She sounded a little jealous when she heard this. "You also think that Tong Che is very handsome and charming?"
Yes.
It seemed that many people thought so.
Mi Xaing 'er nodded seriously. "You can say that. I can't lie. He's really good-looking!"
When she saw Yun Laohu's face darken, she hurriedly smiled and coaxed him. She raised her little neck and raised her eyebrows. Her face was full of self-satisfaction. "However, my husband is even better looking. He's more masculine. He's even a hero!"
Yun Laohu smiled.
He was very pleased. He grabbed Mi Xaing 'er's hand and kissed it on the lips. He did not let go of any opportunity to confess. "My wife is also good-looking. She's smart and gentle!"
Mi Xaing 'er bent over and smiled. The fullness of her chest inadvertently rubbed against his arm, making the man's heart and soul ripple a little.
Yun Laohu casually grabbed the ends of her braids and shook them. Just looking at this woman made him feel full of happiness.
He continued, "Tong Che is a genius. It's probably what people call a high IQ. Basically, he has a photographic memory. When he was seven or eight years old, he could speak four to five foreign languages. When he was ten years old, he attended a university in the capital. When he was fifteen years old, he was the most famous at that time. He became the top scholar in engineering in the country. After that, he went abroad to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States."
Mi Xaing 'er raised her eyebrows. Wow, that's amazing. "Then how did he get together with Second Sister?"
"Our families are considered family friends. His mother and my mother met in Shanghai, and they have always been on good terms. So, after we got married, we started to interact with each other. Tong Che is six years older than my sister. Since we were young, we looked up to him. Of course, my sister was no exception. The feelings of a young girl slowly turned from admiration to love!"
It was no wonder.
With Tong Che's qualities, it was hard not to love him. "What happened after that?"
"After that, Tong Che finished his studies and returned to China at the age of 24. At that time, he was the youngest professor in the Physics Department of the Capital University. My sister was 18 years old. The two of them interacted and naturally got together. A few years later, the world was a little chaotic. Due to history and family reasons, Tong Che had no choice but to go to Guizhou. My sister was young at that time, and she was a little influenced by her father, so she did not go with him.
She still regrets it. "It was just a few sentences, but the story behind it could be written into a book.
Mi Xaing 'er was a little dazed. She felt sad for Yun Jingqi. "I can understand how Second Sister feels. However, she did not go with him when he was in dire straits. Now, although Tong Che is back, his career is not going well. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to reconcile."
Yun Laohu gazed at her affectionately. "If I was sent to Guizhou, would you go with me?"
"Of course. Since my heart belongs to someone, I have to follow my heart," Mi Xaing 'er said frankly. "Those external conditions will change sooner or later. However, the relationship between people is the most difficult. You will only see a person's heart after a long time, and it will only deepen after a long time."
Yun Laohu felt very gratified. "I knew you would think this way. I knew it from the first day. Otherwise, I wouldn't have forced you to get married."
Mi Xaing 'er made a face. "You know so much."
Yun Jingting was quite far-sighted. She continued meaningfully, "However, it's impossible for a person to be unlucky all his life. I believe that the current situation may have misjudged some people. However, one day, the world will change again. A talent like Tong Che will not be buried. Sooner or later, he will stand out. When that time comes, I'm afraid that my sister will be too embarrassed to go with him. That's why she is in a dilemma now."
He pondered for a moment. "Also, after hearing what you said just now, I have another concern. I'm afraid that the relationship between Miss Tian and Tong Che is not as simple as it seems."
"Ah."
Yun Jingting was calm, but her analysis was thorough. "Think about it. Miss Tian is 18 years old. According to the customs of ethnic minorities, she should be looking for a man. However, she went back to the city with Tong Che. I don't know what the Tian family's parents are thinking, what Brother Tong is thinking, and what the Tian Xiner is thinking."
This …
Mi Xaing 'er was a little dumbfounded. She could not answer for a moment.
Tong Che and the Tian Xiner.
How was that possible?
One was over the Chinese New Year, while the other was 18 years old. One was a top scholar in science and engineering who came back from studying abroad. He was the youngest professor at Capital University. The other was a Miao girl who could not even recognize Chinese characters. She was a strange poison master.
Mi Xaing 'er shook her head.
She really felt that no matter what, it was impossible for the two of them to be together.
Yun Jingting patted her hand. "Don't think about it. The truth will come to light sooner or later. I believe that day is not far away. Since Tong Che has been transferred back to the city, it means that the higher-ups are paying attention to him. How could he have been cleaning the county library all this time?"
Mi Xaing 'er listened to his words and deeply agreed.
She admired Yun Laohu's analytical and observational skills even more. She thought to herself that she could only wait and see.
Mi Xaing 'er took care of Yun Jingting in the hospital for a whole day.
She watched as the sun set and the setting sun dyed the horizon a faint red.
Jiang Yumei sent dinner over. There were two dishes and a soup. This time, she specially brought an extra set of cutlery. She was also discerning. She could tell that Yun Laohu valued this little daughter-in-law very much. Since the "boss" had his heart set, how could she, as a nanny, dare to neglect?
The young couple sat face to face and ate dinner. Although they were in the hospital, this was the first time the two of them sat together to eat in the name of husband and wife. They felt a lot of feelings and the atmosphere was very warm.
After dinner …
Night had just arrived.
It was already midsummer, and the weather was especially stuffy.
Mi Xaing 'er went to the bathroom to wash up. Since she could not take a shower, she used warm water to wipe her body up and down. It was time to change into new underwear. Of course, she wore a new white bra and a clean shirt. Only then did she feel much more refreshed.
Standing in the bathroom, she asked Yun Jingting, "Hey, are you hot? Let me help you wipe it off."
Without waiting for Yun Laohu's reply, she brought a basin of warm water and placed it directly by the bed. She lifted Yun Laohu's blanket, rolled up her trousers, and started to wipe her uninjured leg.
Yun Jingting was not used to being taken care of by others, so she subconsciously dodged. She looked up and smiled at him first. "Why do you treat me as a nurse? Can't you touch a tiger's thigh?"
She took the opportunity to pat his leg twice. "Don't give me that. I'll take care of you now. When I get sick and old one day, you'll have to pay me back with interest!"
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and wiped his body nimbly.
Yun Jingting felt a warm current surge to his chest. It was sore and numb. It was different from the instinctive impulse of a man, but it was a kind of heartbeat that flowed slowly.
He looked down at Mi Xaing 'er from above.
The ends of the woman's braids hung quietly by his legs. When she moved, the braids scratched his skin and itched a little.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at her collar. He could vaguely see the thin belt under her shirt wrapped around her collarbone and wrapped around her fair and tender chest …
Yun Laohu's eyes darkened. Suddenly, she felt that this summer was really unbearably hot.
