Chapter 40: Stay on Rainy Day (2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Shu Lan put the bamboo sticks on the wooden stool. When she turned around, she saw Xiao Lang lying down, so she ran over and grabbed his leg: “Older brother Wolf, help me take off Quanquan, the wind outside will blow it away!”
Xiao Lang closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
“Get up, I know you’re pretending to be asleep. How could anyone fall asleep so quickly!” Shu Lan shook his trouser legs reluctantly, pouting at him.
Xiao Lang did not move.
There were Quanquan’s squealing sounds outside, Qin-shi and Shu Wan listened and couldn’t help laughing together. They naturally heard Shu Lan’s words, although they didn’t understand why Xiao Lang, who had always indulged her, didn’t immediately help her this time, but they also knew that he was teasing her, so they didn’t take the initiative to ask.
Shu Lan was so angry she climbed onto the heated-brick bed, knelt down beside Xiao Lang, and stretched out her hands to push his shoulder: “Get up!”
Xiao Lang simply turned over and lay on his side, leaving his back to Shu Lan.
Just as Shu Lan was about to pounce on him, her eyes fell on the gauze wrapped around his arm. She couldn’t help softening her voice, leaning into Xiao Lang’s ear and begging in a low voice: “Older brother Wolf, don’t tease me, help me bring Quanquan in, okay?”
Her warm breath hit his ear and face, and he instantly reacted.
Xiao Lang tried his best to endure so he didn’t turn over and press her underneath him. After listening to the movement in the kitchen, he was sure that Shu Wan and Qin-shi were both busy, so he half sat up, stared at Shu Lan with bright eyes, and whispered: “Then you kiss me.” With a mysterious look.
Influenced by his tone, Shu Lan couldn’t help but lower her voice and asked inexplicably: “Why do you want me to kiss you?”
Xiao Lang’s throat rolled and his voice was hoarse: “Because you want me to help you. In the future as long as you ask me to help, you have to kiss me. If you don’t want to then forget it.” He pretended to lie down again.
Shu Lan hurriedly grabbed his arm, pouted her lips, and said: “Then just kiss, where do you want me to kiss?”
I want you to kiss everywhere!
Looking at the small red and tender mouth in front of him, Xiao Lang answered in his heart first, and then pointed to his own lips, staring straight at Shu Lan.
Because Xiao Lang was supporting his body with his hands, and his upper body was slightly tilted backward, so Shu Lan had to hold onto his shoulders and lean towards the corner of his mouth. Then, in his uncontrollable rapid breathing, she printed her soft and tender lips, touched them gently, and then retreated immediately, muttering a little aggrievedly: “Done kissing, can you help me now?”
Xiao Lang was still reminiscing about the feeling of his heart beating like a drum when Shu Lan approached just now. It turned out that letting her kiss him was more wonderful than when he took the initiative. Thinking that Zhu Yuanbao would never be treated like this by the lazy girl anyway, most of the depression in his heart dissipated. He quickly kissed Shu Lan on the face and whispered: “You are not allowed to tell anyone about us, you know?”
Shu Lan nodded casually and pushed him impatiently: “Go! If Quanquan falls, I will ignore you again!”
Xiao Lang immediately jumped off the heated-brick bed. When he went out, the satisfaction on his face had changed to calm.
Qin-shi looked at him and asked with a smile: “Did Ah Lan make you angry again?”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Xiao Lang’s face: “No, that Zhu Yuanbao was here, and younger sister won’t play with me, I feel a little uncomfortable. Aunt, is it wrong for me to think like this?”
Qin-shi couldn’t help adding firewood to the stove and said: “There’s nothing wrong with it. Children are like this. You don’t know when Ah Lan played with you when she was a child, her older brother got angry several times behind her back. You don’t have to think too much. Today, Ah Lan is just greedy for freshness, so she played with Yuanbao a lot. The two of you have grown up together, she must value you more!”
She also came here when she was a child. She knew children of this age have a possessive desire for familiar playmates. If you were good to me, you must be good to me every day. You couldn’t think of others as more important than me, and you couldn’t abandon me to play with him. Although Ah Lang was sometimes quite calm, he was forced by life, and his mind was actually very simple. After all, he was only 10 years old.
Xiao Lang lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly. He stepped out of the kitchen door and saw the birdcage swaying in the wind, his smile immediately froze.
The wind was getting stronger. When the four of them sat around the dining table, the raindrops poured down, and the ground was quickly soaked and splashed with water.
“Mother, did Father say when he will come back today?” Shu Wan put down the bowls, looked at the misty rain and fog in the distance, and asked worriedly.
Qin-shi had always been worried. Now her daughter asked, she also frowned: “It was said he will come back before noon, but things have changed by then. Maybe your father was kept for lunch.”
Shu Lan looked at her mother, and then at her older sister with a dazed look in her eyes. Would Daddy get wet in the rain?
Xiao Lang wasn’t very worried. What about this rain? If it wasn’t for their mother, he wanted to take a shower in the yard.
They were thinking about it when there was a sudden sound of hooves outside, and then, a carriage broke through the rain curtain and stopped in front of the house.
“It’s grandmother’s carriage!” Shu Lan stretched her neck and looked outside.
“Mother, sit down, I’ll go pick up Father.” Shu Wan didn’t take a closer look, got up, and went to the house to get the straw raincoat because she didn’t know who was coming from the uncle’s house, so she took out all three sets of straw raincoats and ran out quickly with an oil paper umbrella.
Wei Da, who was wearing a reed hat, jumped out of the carriage and opened the curtain: “Master, we’re here.”
Shu Maoting cupped his hands to Cheng Qingran gratefully: “Many thanks to Master Cheng for especially sending Shu-mou back. If you don’t dislike it, please go to my humble house to avoid the rain!”
Cheng Qingran hurriedly returned the courtesy: “Uncle is courteous, just call me Qingran. I dare not accept the word “Master”. Now it’s raining heavily, and it’s really difficult to drive, so I’ll accept your request, and shamelessly bother you.”
“Father, the straw raincoat is here, put it on quickly!”
Shu Wan ran over quickly, not caring about the people in the carriage, and first put the straw raincoats in her hands on the empty board in front of the carriage.
When she looked up, she met a pair of shining peach blossom eyes.
