Chapter 146 I Miss You
"You're awake too!" He was worried that she could not accept that he suddenly became old, so he tried to use the same tone as before.
But the state of mind changed, so he felt a bit ashamed for he seemed to be lying.
Meanwhile, Su Jiuyue felt slightly strange that something seemed to change with Wu Xiyuan.
Instead of thinking too much about it, she smiled and paid a New Year call to him, "Happy New Year! Xiyuan!"
This life looked entirely different from the previous life, and he didn't expect that he would wake up in the New Year when he was seventeen years old.
He felt quite satisfied to have a new year, a new life, and a new beginning.
Hearing the New Year's greeting from Su Jiuyue, he subconsciously wanted to give her lucky money.
He hid the lucky money that his mother gave him last night under the pillow. He regarded it as a treasure, and wouldn't put it down even when he was asleep.
Looking at the crinkled red packet he gave, Su Jiuyue became slightly stunned, "What do you mean?"
Wu Xiyuan was a little nervous and watched every nuance of her expression, for fear that she would reject him.
"I...... It's the lucky money!" He adjusted his tone in time, and muttered to himself, "Oh my gosh. A close call!"
He was used to putting on such airs due to his many years of experience in being an official. Thanks to his adjustment, his young wife would not be scared!
Su Jiuyue did not expect him to give her the lucky money of him. Though she was very happy, she could not take it.
She shook her head and said, "I can't take it. It's the lucky money mother gave you."
Wu Xiyuan pursed his lips and became a bit disinterested, "But mother said, I am older than you, so I should give you the lucky money."
Su Jiuyue could not bear to see his aggrieved look, so she took the red packet, took out one coin from it, and returned the red packet to him.
Wu Xiyuan was surprised when seeing the red packet in his hand. She held up the copper coin and blinked at him, "I just need one coin. I'm still young, so one coin is enough!"
Her playful appearance really hit Wu Xiyuan. He became restless like a sixteen boy.
No, he was sixteen years old now.
No man could refuse to appreciate her charm. He had been dead set on her when she was seventeen years old. She was now only fourteen years old, a childish, delicate and lovely girl.
He suddenly did not know how to get along with her. Should he regard her as his wife or daughter?
Su Jiuyue saw that he kept looking at herself and seemed to be absent-minded.
Then she reached out and pinched him gently on the nose, "What are you thinking about!"
Wu Xiyuan immediately earthed to himself, threw a grin at her, and blurted out, "I'm missing you!"
Su Jiuyue thought he was just making her happy as usual, but did not expect that he had been missing her for decades.
Su Jiuyue blushed again, and Wu Xiyuan couldn't take his eyes off her.
Seeing his spoony eyes, Su Jiuyue immediately turned around and faced the edge of the bed, "Why are you so strange today? Why keep staring at me?"
Wu Xiyuan couldn't figure out what the little girl was thinking about, and was worried that she was angry. Therefore, he immediately went over to her and hugged her from behind, juts like what he did before, "Don't you love me? It's the first time that I spent the Spring Festival with you! If you don't like me watching you, I'll not stare at you any more!"
Su Jiuyue couldn't resist the temptation of him at all, and quickly turned around and hugged him, "I did not ignore you or dislike you, I'm just......"
When his beautiful wife was hugging him, Wu Xiyuan was choked by a mixture of feelings, and he was moved, excited, and was afraid to lose her......
But he still asked, "What?"
Su Jiuyue was embarrassed and felt that her face was so red that it could match with the color of antithetical couplet posted on the door! But he was senseless and kept asking her.
"I'm shy! You little idiot! Why keep asking? I don't want to talk to you anymore. I want to get up!"
Then she pushed away Wu Xiyuan, got dressed quickly and fled the room.
Left alone in the room, Wu Xiyuan was giggling. His naive look was more like a fool than him in previous days.
At this time Wu Xiyuan suddenly felt it good to be a fool, who could hug and kiss recklessly, but he did not even dare to think about these things before!
After Su Jiuyue went out of the door, the cold wind outside blew her cheeks, and the heat on her face gradually came down a little.
She went to the kitchen to start the fire and boil water, but she did not have to make breakfast this morning. She could boil the dumplings after everyone got up.
After Su Jiuyue washed her face and rinsed her mouth, Liu Cuihua opened her room. Su Jiuyue hastened to fetch hot water and send it to her.
Liu Cuihua used a handkerchief to cover her face with hot water, and felt she was refreshed.
"They complained that I favored you all day long. But they never thought about the reason. Why didn't they send me hot water in such a cold day?"
Su Jiuyue had always been doing what she should do, and didn't care what others did. So she made no response when hearing his mother-in-law accused her sisters-in-law.
Even if they were wrong, she had no right to scold them.
Mother-in-law could of course criticize them. If she made comments, she was making mischief between them.
When her mother-in-law finished, Su Jiuyue said, "Mum, I like sending hot water to you, and I will not give others the opportunity to do this for you."
Hearing what she said, Liu Cuihua felt more comfortable. Jiuyue was really smart and knew when to speak or not.
Though she was very satisfied, she said, "You don't have to send water to me. I'm still young and strong, and I can do it by myself!"
But Su Jiuyue replied, "I don't care what happend when I was not here in the past. But I'm now in our family and you treat me so well, I will feel uncomfortable if I fail to treat you with filial respect."
"Haha, you are really a sincere child." Liu Cuihua praised her and asked, "Did Xiyuan get up?"
At the thought of what happened just now, a faint pink flush coloured her cheeks. She lowered her eyes and looked at the floor, just like a girl.
"He's awake, but I don't know if he has gotten up."
Liu Cuihua guessed that Xiyuan must said some imprudent words, which caused his wife to be shy.
But she didn't speak out even she knew. She urged, "See if Xiyuan had gotten up, and tell him to quickly wash face and rinse mouth. I'm gping to cook dumplings for us. We have to go to the home of your eldest uncle later. We cannot be late, or else they would find fault with us."
