Chapter 15

Zhong Ziqi searched the house to find a porcelain jar, not much taller than the palm of his hand, which was very light and cute. He washed the jar carefully with water and put it in a pot to steam for a while to sterilise it.The hot water was ladled out of the pot then he put it into a clean basin to dry. After that,he washed the apples and pears, peel and core the fruits, thus he cut it into small cubes and put it in the jars, sprinkling each layer with half a spoonful of sugar.Repeat until the jar is almost full and the fruit is gone.

When Zhao Zheng'an woke up from his nap, the sun had already gone down, rubbing his eyes,he realized that he didn't find his wife in the room. He deflated, slipped on his shoes and walked towards the kitchen, shouting: "Wife? Wife?"

"In the kitchen!" Zhong Ziqi shouted back, he was now heating up the fire to cook a meal, actually he had eaten enough at lunchtime and wasn't really hungry yet.

Zhao Zheng'an came all the way here and saw Zhong Ziqi, his face raised in his signature foolish smile: " Wife."

Zhong Ziqi couldn't not tell that habit is such a scary thing, in just several days, he already accustomed to Zhao Zheng'an calling him 'wife (媳妇)' this two words. He was also used to his foolish smile, moreover he even used to Zhao Zheng'an's presence. Zhong Ziqi couldn't help but think that life now seemed calm, but underneath the calmness, there was actually a pile of tangled mess that one couldn't make sense of, yet this one still had to go on with one's head.

"Wife?" Zhao Zheng'an's enlarged face was presented in front of Zhong Ziqi's face. Zhong Ziqi, who was distracted, even noticed that this guy's eyelashes were really long and curved on his handsome, rugged face (Tl: his face is the wild type) , it was unexpectedly harmonious and...very attractive?

Zhong Ziqi's throat jolted,he reached out, pushing his face away from his, thinking with a straight face, what had he been thinking? How could he find him so attractive? He must be too tired. It's better to rest early today.

But Zhong Ziqi's idea didn't come true in the end, because Zhao Zheng'an refused to go to bed, after he had eaten, he pulled Zhong Ziqi in high spirits to play with him.

"Wash up and go to bed!" Zhong Ziqi said fiercely with a stern face.

Zhao Zheng'an looked at him, feeling wronged, pouting and muttering, "But wife, I'm not sleepy, I want to play with you."

"......"

You're not sleepy, I'm sleepy!

But looking at Zhao Zhengan's pitiful eyes, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, he was very busy every day and didn't have time to play with him, but he didn't feel comfortable letting him go out too, so he had to stay in the small courtyard every day, he must be really bored, right?

Zhong Ziqi simply took two small benches to sit in the courtyard. He brought the hickory he had picked from the mountains this afternoon then found a hard brick in the courtyard, smashed the hickory,thus picked out the flesh and stuffed it into Zhao Zheng'an's mouth.

After chewing on it for a couple of times, Zheng'an found it quite tasty, so he took the brick from Zhong Ziqi, squatted there to smash it. After smashing it, he also followed Zhong Ziqi's example,took out the walnut meat and quickly stuffed it into Zhong Ziqi's mouth. Zhong Ziqi,who was slightly stunned,ate it with the corner of his mouth curled.

On a summer night, the sky was full of stars twinkling with light. In the small isolated courtyard, a man squatted on the ground smashing walnuts, another man who sat on a stool with his head in his hands, looking sideways at the tall man next to him, his face soft, his expression relaxed. (Tl: I found this description romantic although it's very simple)
