Chapter 572: Loving You, My Wife

Book Chapter 572: Loving You, My Wife (Update 5)

Night – a cozy scene in bed. Lin.

With the air conditioner on, Xiao Yu has entered his ‘sage time’ and now feels a bit lazy, not wanting to move.

Cuddled in Mu Qingwu’s embrace – being held like that is incredibly satisfying and comfortable.

If only his sister wasn’t glued to her TV drama, it would be even better.

Xiao Yu couldn’t figure it out.

No matter how clever a woman is, why do they all love those brainless shows?

Not only do they watch them, they actually laugh – even Auntie cracks up!

“Sis, is this drama really that interesting? Watching a horror film and laughing – you’d think you’d show a little respect.”

Glancing at the phone streaming the absurd drama, Xiao Yu was baffled. “By the way, this show is completely out of character for you.”

“It’s just a girl’s taste.”

Mu Qingwu’s sparkling eyes shined as she pinched her little brother’s cheek, her beautiful face blooming like a flower. “Just like you boys, always born lying.”

“Since when did I lie?” Xiao Yu protested.

“Oh really?”

Mu Qingwu gave a wry smile. “You recorded it just so you could watch it when I wasn’t around?”

Xiao Yu: …

He was utterly speechless.

No, I must fight back a little…

To save some face for us guys, Xiao Yu argued, “I still think bingeing on these brainless shows isn’t good – it’s like being conned by telecom fraud. I can’t sleep until I’ve given it a good telling-off.”

“So, just how brainless is this show?”

Mu Qingwu bowed her head and planted a kiss on her little brother’s forehead.

“Let’s start with the opening scene.”

Xiao Yu grinned: “The leads are seen lying in bed, cuddling for over two minutes. Just when you think something’s about to happen… they just hug for two minutes and do nothing!”

“Can you even be curious about such a film? What’s the point – am I meant to just watch you two cuddle? I’d rather open a new folder on my E drive.”

“And then, there’s that subway scene – a zombie virus outbreak. One guy goes on a stabbing rampage while everyone else just stands there like idiots, neither fleeing nor fighting back, getting stabbed one by one!”

“Even in 2022, horror films still only have characters who scream, trip, and flail… My goodness.”

“Honestly, the actors’ AI is no match for the little monsters in video games!”

“Ha ha!” Mu Qingwu burst into hearty laughter as she hugged her brother. “Your turn now.”

“My turn?”

Xiao Yu snorted disdainfully. “Then I’ll hit them with a combo – ‘Main W Lily Slash Break Defense,’ ‘Mount Lu Dragon Ascension Strike,’ and ‘A Bag of Rice Against a Multi-Story Building’ – I’ll blast you away in a riot of colors…”

“Zombies, too? A single needle trying to stir the ocean? I’d give them a thrashing so severe they’d learn what postpartum care for a sow really means!”

“Sis, look further – there’s more blood, gory dismemberment, plasma, eyeballs, intestines flying everywhere… Isn’t that plasma almost free?”

“With one slight jab, blood gushes out like oil being tapped – what, is a sow having postpartum hemorrhage?”

“Have some sense – how much blood does a human even have? Do you expect a whole bucket to just pour out?”

“Honestly, by this point, for someone like me who’d watch ‘The Grudge’ three times without blinking, this movie can hardly be described as brainless.”

“The director is treating the audience like idiots, practically rubbing our brains all over the floor!”

“Is it really that brainless?” Mu Qingwu nearly burst into uncontrollable laughter.

“Not brainless enough?”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. “Now let me tell you what I can’t stand the most.”

“This film, from start to finish, is all about flaunting its moral high ground.”

“Under the banner of justice, it’s all about killing – humans, zombies, anyone alive gets taken out. What kind of justice is that?”

“In an apocalypse with zombies, who’s really there to talk about justice?”

“It’s like a moldy bun stuffed entirely with crap, yet they try to trick you into taking a bite.”

“Cherish your eyesight – watching this is like stepping into a cursed public lavatory with a stench of excrement everywhere!”

“Enough with all the crap already!”

Mu Qingwu, laughing hysterically, playfully chided, “You’re a cop – act a bit more refined.”

“Refined when it comes to… well, you know,”

Xiao Yu thought for a moment. “Should I say, give me a moment to bid farewell to the world’s chaos? By the way, beautiful, forgive me – I need to meet a good buddy. Maybe I can introduce you two shortly.”

Mu Qingwu sank her teeth into Xiao Yu’s neck.

The tyrannical CEO vanishes; the wildcat takes over.

Tsk, that’s just life.

Xiao Yu gritted his teeth in pain – yet there was pleasure in it too.

Once you have a wife, you learn so much more about life.

For instance…

BB cream is meant for your face.

A woman’s cycle doesn’t reset at midnight.

It’s not only when she’s cold that a girl shivers.

They may look proud and elegant on the outside…

But inside, sometimes, they’re as soft as egg yolk.

They love hearing your cheesy lines,

and they adore your roguish banter.

No exceptions.

Oh, women!

……

The next early morning,

Xiao Yu walked into the kitchen.

Not long ago he had mentioned he wanted a little padded jacket.

Lately, his sister had been a bit on the wild side.

She’s been going crazy about having a second child!

Feeling a dull ache in his aging back, Xiao Yu felt an indescribable sorrow.

This was torture he simply couldn’t endure!

Yet every time he thought of Mu Qingwu riding her horse,

and the rhythmic gallop, the rises and jumps of the steed…

Xiao Yu’s mood would lift, and he’d start making breakfast with a beaming smile.

Until… those familiar jade hands wrapped around his waist.

“Little brother.”

Mu Qingwu’s alluring, languid voice resounded.

“What’s up?” Xiao Yu asked with a smile as he sipped his congee.

“I’m just not hungry.”

Like a cat, Mu Qingwu pressed her cheek against Xiao Yu’s back. “How about skipping breakfast this morning?”

“No way.”

Xiao Yu huffed, “At least eat a little, or I’ll get mad.”

“If I finish eating…”

Mu Qingwu giggled, “Will you praise me?”

“Sure thing.”

Xiao Yu laughed too. “Kids who eat well always get praised.”

“Forever?” Mu Qingwu asked.

“Alright.” Xiao Yu replied.

Later on…

At dawn, as the thick fog lifted,

it wasn’t just the morning or the fog alone.

What did that mean?

It turned out heavy fog had rolled in.

Right before your eyes, I profess my love for you.

And as the fog cleared,

everyone would know of my love for you.

Just a few minutes before ten, I’d start thinking of you again.

Loving you, without end.

Loving you, my wife!
