after duan linbai successfully threatened xu jing, he arranged for him to work at the hotel.

this kid’s character was one that bullied the weak and feared the strong. he used to be arrogant and domineering at home, but that was because someone spoiled and protected him. now that he had no one to back him up, he could only work hard. he had never done this kind of work before, and when he first started working, he was frequently fined a lot of his salary.

he was the first one to receive no money when his salary was settled. instead, he was in debt of 400 yuan because he had broken a few expensive plates.

when he received the payslip, he almost cried.

the hotel took turns on the weekends, and when it was his turn, xu jiamu called him and invited him to a restaurant.

xu jing almost cried as she ate the food.

xu jiamu was shocked by how he was wolfing down the food. there were many things in here that he didn’t touch at home, so what had he been through?

moreover, when the customer at the next table suddenly called for a waiter, he actually jumped up from his chair reflexively, which made her dumbfounded.

however, the change in him was also visible to the naked eye. at least he was dressed normally and his attitude towards her was extremely good.

the boy was stubborn and refused to talk to her. she only saw the text message on her phone when she returned to the dormitory after dinner.

[ sister ran, i’m sorry. ]

xu jiamu stared at his phone for a long time, unable to express his feelings.

she knew that her brother’s change was all thanks to duan linbai. she had planned to treat him to a meal, but the results of the blind review of her thesis had come out …

xu jiamu’s paper was qualified, but the blind review experts had also given some guidance. she had to quickly revise the paper, and then repeatedly hand it over to the teacher for review.

ph.d. theses were more than 100000 words, and it was quite troublesome to modify them.

even if she passed the review, she still had to edit the format and bind it into a book. graduation was near, and there were many miscellaneous things to do. there was also the interview and job-finding, so she was too busy to split her attention.

fortunately, there was good news in between.

that was, she passed the interview at the second people’s hospital of the city. as long as she got her graduation certificate and degree certificate, she could successfully join the company.

duan linbai’s reaction was even happier than hers, and he even ordered a cake for her online.

when xu jiamu received the cake, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

however, time flew by and it was already may 1st.

song fengwan naturally wanted to go home. once fu chenwu was free, he left with her. the two of them did not return to nanjiang directly but took a plane to wusu first.

the fu family’s grandparents missed the qiao family, and tang jingci was pregnant, so they brought some things for them to bring over.

when they arrived at the qiao family’s residence, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

because there were only two men in the qiao family, no one took care of tang jingci. her parents came back from abroad when she was six months pregnant and stayed with the qiao family.

therefore, tang jingci’s mother had taken care of her during her pregnancy.

when the two of them arrived at the qiao family’s residence, apart from qiao xiyan, who was there to pick them up, there was only tang jingci and a nanny at home.

because of the hot weather, she was sitting in the courtyard to cool down. she was wearing a thin white bench, and the curve of her bulging belly was a little scary.

and she was actually holding a carving knife …

he was carefully carving something, the knife almost hanging above his abdomen, making song fengwan’s heart tremble.

when tang jingci’s stomach first appeared, it was frighteningly big, so much so that qiao xiyan thought that she had more than one child. however, after some investigation, it turned out that there was only one.

she was originally a cold and skinny person, but she didn’t expect to put on some weight during her pregnancy.

she couldn’t be blamed for this. qiao wangbei had been looking forward to this grandson too much. he was a man, and as a father-in-law, he couldn’t just ask his daughter-in-law all sorts of questions and find people to help her nourish her body.

he also specially asked for precious tonics from qiao xiyan’s grandfather and stewed them with chicken, duck, and fish for her. it was nourishing every day, and her stomach gradually grew bigger. she went out less often, so it would be a wonder if she didn’t gain weight.

wusu’s environment was too nourishing, and the days were comfortable. it was natural to be fat when one was open-minded. this was true.

however, there was one thing that made qiao xiyan a little depressed.

as she got older, tang jingci often got up at night. sometimes, it was difficult for her to fall asleep. other couples couldn’t sleep, so they would hug each other in bed and say some intimate words. it couldn’t be sweeter …

when tang jingci had insomnia on the first night, she got up and went out for a walk. qiao xiyan thought she was going to the bathroom, so he asked her if she wanted to accompany him.

the qiao family’s house was an old house, and the toilet was independent from the outside, which was a little troublesome.

“no need,” tang jingci wrapped her coat around herself and went out.

qiao xiyan had been working very hard recently to earn money for his milk powder. carving stones and jade required a long period of concentration. he had used up too much energy during the day. he wanted to wait for her to come back and sleep together, but he couldn’t keep his eyes open …

however, when he heard the sound of footsteps and opened his eyes, he saw a cold light flash past his eyes.

his wife was sitting on the bed with a carving knife and smiling at him.

qiao xiyan wasn’t afraid of ghosts, but he had been so scared that he woke up instantly.

it was even more exciting than watching a horror movie.

“little ci …”

“senior brother, i can’t sleep.” tang jingci wasn’t used to calling him ‘hubby’ or by his name, so she called him ‘senior’.

he would only call her other intimate names when they were in bed. this was just one of qiao xiyan’s bad habits.

“did he mess with you?” at that time, qiao xiyan really felt a chill on his back.

he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

” i’m fine. i just can’t sleep. let’s do something interesting. ” tang jingci smiled at him.

interesting things?

this couple, naturally …

however, tang jingci immediately stuffed the carving knife into his hand. ” teach me how to carve large objects. ”

qiao xiyan smiled and said, ” it’s so late. why don’t you rest first and i’ll teach you tomorrow? ”

“i can’t sleep. why don’t you go to sleep and i’ll feel around by myself?”

“i’ll teach you then.” at the very least, he would be at ease with her by his side.

therefore, when other couples couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night, they would at most cuddle in bed for a while, but these two would directly use their knives.

when qiao wangbei found out about this, he couldn’t blame tang jingci, so he called qiao xiyan over and gave her a good scolding.

it made him feel like he wasn’t a human.

……

song fengwan and fu chen stayed at the qiao family’s house for three days. two days ago, tang jingci said that she wanted to have a private conversation with song fengwan and the two of them slept together, but she kicked the two men away.

qiao xiyan had nothing to do in the dark, so he took fu chen for a walk along wusu river.

at night, fu chen returned to the guest room, while qiao xiyan returned to the machine room to polish his jade. sometimes, he would stay the whole night.

finally, on the last night of the qiao family’s residence, song fengwan sneaked into fu chen’s room.

the bed made of iron nails creaked loudly. the qiao family’s old house was not soundproof at all!

at this time, wu su’s weather was already a little hot. the two of them were cuddling on the bed and were sweating all over. it was not convenient to take a shower, so fu chen fetched some water and wiped their bodies before they fell asleep with her in his arms.

before she went to bed, she even said that the bed in the qiao family’s house was not secure.

the two of them left wusu early the next morning. the two of them had been intimate last night, and qiao xiyan hadn’t slept, so he naturally heard some of it. he turned around and told his father that the bed in the guest room was not secure and needed to be reinforced by a master.

qiao wangbei frowned. this kind of solid wood bed was quite sturdy. could it have been damaged by a worm? he went to check, sat on the bed and tried …

with a loud bang, the sky collapsed and the earth sank.

the bed collapsed.

qiao wangbei was dumbfounded. he couldn’t say anything to song fengwan. he could only curse the youngsters in this world for being too open-minded. he said that fu chen was too shameless. he couldn’t even tell anyone that the bed was broken. he was too embarrassed to say it …
