Lu Xingzhi could not tell if Jiang Yao had forgotten about the durian. She had clearly instructed him to wake her when he received the durian. Why did she not say anything when she awoke?
Lu Xingzhi hoped Jiang Yao had forgotten, so he resolved not to say anything unless Jiang Yao asked first.
Jiang Yao was the first to leave the bedroom after changing her clothes. She stretched in the living room and waited for Lu Xingzhi to come out before accompanying him to the bathroom to wash up.
Lu Xingzhi could not help but smile when he noticed Jiang Yao was clearly in a good mood as she hummed and brushed her teeth. "Are you in a good mood this morning?" he inquired.
Jiang Yao nodded, toothpaste still in her mouth. She leaned back and rinsed her mouth. "After I drink the milk, you can help me open the durian," she said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe corner of Lu Xingzhi's mouth twitched. So her calmness was only superficial. So she had not forgotten at all?
Lu Xingzhi said, "I thought you would forget. You said last night that I should wake you up when the food arrived, but I could not bear waking you up because you were sound asleep."
"I know."
Jiang Yao nodded. "So, I am not angry."
Jiang Yao had already lost her cool with Lu Xingzhi because of the durian the night before. She was not an unreasonable person who enjoyed losing her cool. So when she woke up, she did not cause a commotion because she had not eaten the durian she had been craving for a long time.
She knew Lu Xingzhi must have noticed she was sleeping soundly, so he did not wake her. Her sleep was also very important to him.
Of course, she guessed that Lu Xingzhi wished she would forget it as soon as she awoke.
However, as soon as she walked into the living room, she noticed the big durian on the coffee table.
When Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, Mr. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang entered the house, the first thing they saw was not the quiet house but Lu Xingzhi, who was smoking on the courtyard steps. A white thing sat beside Lu Xingzhi. A closer examination reveals that it was Jiang Yao's pet.
Two figures were sitting there. One was smoking, and the other had his back paw on the ground. His front paw was clutching his back paw. One could sense the man and the cat's melancholy aura through the door.
"Why are you smoking so early in the morning?"
Mr. Lu approached and extinguished the cigarette in Lu Xingzhi's hand. He flicked the cigarette, sniffed it, and inquired, "What is that strange odor?"

Mrs. Lu inquired in a startling tone. "It's..."
Lu Xingzhi nearly choked on his mother's tender words. However, a few coughs interrupted Mrs. Lu's words.
"Why are you smoking outside so early in the morning?" Mr. Lu took a look inside. "What happened to your wife? Didn't you give up smoking a long time ago?"
"Did you and Yaoyao get into a fight?" Mr. Jiang inquired, concerned.
Mrs. Lu realized there was something wrong with Lu Xingzhi. How could he be willing to sit by the door alone to smoke and not accompany Jiang Yao in the morning if he were home?
Mrs. Lu asked solemnly, "You had a fight with Yaoyao? Is it because you soiled your pants? You are such a useless person. Didn't I tell you that pregnant women are prone to being irritable? Yaoyao is not feeling well, so you will have to persuade her. Besides, what is the point of fighting with your wife if you are sh*tting your pants?"
