Chapter 61 Acting
It seemed that Yi Duanfang had forgotten what happened in the supermarket the last time he companied Chen Kexin. Men, who underestimated their enemy, would lose a fight. Similarly, a newhalf, who took his opponent lightly, would lose ground.
Faced with Yi Duanfang’s derision, Chen Kexin responded in an unrushed tone. “I thought I am stepping on a sissy bug, but I can’t kill it. I could only squeeze some shit out of it.”
…
Yi Duanfang rolled his eyes and cast her a nasty look.
They had a more wonderful time than they expected, though Chen Kexin disgraced herself several times this afternoon
They went to the old town to eat snacks Chen Kexin had never eaten before, went to the park for a row, and impetuously went for a ride in a pirate ship, which gave them great pleasure.
Before they returned, Chen Kexin said that she wanted to eat Lamian, so the trio went to a famous Lamian restaurant nearby. Little did they expect that Yi Duanfang ate the least because he was on a diet.
This fucking newhalf did not know how amazing his figure was when compared with other women.
Chen Kexin was naturally the one who ate most. Moreover, she had an amazing appetite. After gulping down two big bowls of lamian, she only patted her belly, which stunned the other two.
“I didn’t expect that you have such a big stomach. That’s good. You have drawn attention once again. Shame on you.” Back to the car, Yi Duanfang said ironically.
After the satisfying meal, Chen Kexin already felt sleepy, yawned and said, “I can keep slim without diet. I don’t need to lose weight.” …
Yi Duanfang hated and gnashed his teeth. Actually, it was not easy for Yi Duanfang got fat by eating. He was only embarrassed to say that he wanted to vomit after taking the pirate ship because the sisters did not feel sick at all.
Yi Duanfang thought that he was not like other men whose face was their first priority, but as a newhalf, he had his dignity.
He didn’t know that Chen Kexin couldn’t eat that much at all. She had a weak stomach, but she was afraid that the duo would be worried about her if they saw she was still in a bad mood after half a day’s carnival. Hence, she kept eating.
In fact, there was no need for her to worry about it, because Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang had not perceived it at all. Chen Kexin herself did not know that she was born to be an actor.
When they were about to reach Chen Kexin’s home, Yi Duanfang suddenly asked, “Hasn’t Weixi called you? This is not his style.” Chen Keren glared at him through the rearview mirror, which scared the hell out of the latter. Yi Duanfang immediately realized that he said something wrong. He wanted to comfort Chen Kexin when he saw Chen Kexin laugh out.
“I turned off my phone.”
…
After sending Kexin home, Yi Duanfang and Chen Keren went back, leaving Chen Kexin alone in the big empty house. As a female otaku, Chen Kexin suddenly disliked staying at home.
Chen Kexin feared to see Wang Weixi. Even though she knew that there would always be quarrels between husbands and wives, she still could not accept that the fierce quarrel broke out between Wang Weixi and herself.
She was still unable to untie the knot in her mind, after hanging out with Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang.
She didn’t hate to see Wang Weixi, but she dreaded Wang Weixi feeling angry when he saw her and dreaded to think what a slut girl she was in Wang Weixi’s eyes.
In fact, Wang Weixi did not mean it, but what he had said was enough for a woman who loved him to misinterpret the meaning of his words. A woman who loved a man would either think that she was the apple of his eye, or that she was the humblest one.
Their marriage came so fast. It only took them two months to hold a wedding since the first date. Some things could not be maintained with feelings. Those who said they fell into love, even did not figure out what they really felt: It was good? Just OK? Or This was the person he had been looking for in his life.
Wang Weixi had thought that he loved Chen Kexin, but that was only what he thought. Just like a few hours ago, Chen Kexin had also naively believed that Wang Weixi trust her completely, but still they had squabbled over the inconspicuous misunderstanding.
Either trust or love belonged to people’s feeling. Hence, nothing in this world can be determined.
As she opened the door and saw Wang Weixi standing there, Chen Kexin put on a rosy smile. She pretended that the quarrel had never happened this noon. Even though she was not sure if Wang Weixi would be willing to act this part of pretending to blot the unhappy memory out as she did, she could only do this now because she had no idea how to deal with this issue.
Fortunately, Wang Weixi seemed exhausted, so he joined this play and did not say anything about the quarrel. A familiar gentle smile lifted the corners of his mouth.
“Have you eaten something?” Seeing Chen Kexin’s haggard face, he asked with concern. He had already learnt about what happened this afternoon, yet he did not expect that Yi Duanfang would tell him off for hurting Chen Kexin’s feelings. At the thought that he was scolded by a newhalf that “Are you still a man or not?”, Wang Weixi couldn’t help but feel it was funny.
He knew that he really broke his wife’s heart. He did not see Chen Kexin lose her temper this noon and missed the chance to see her quiet and gentle side this afternoon.
Chen Kexin touched her belly as she said coyly, “Yep, look, I have eaten a lot.” Looking at her bulging belly, Wang Weixi frowned. He knew that her stomach was not good and that she could not eat too much. Hence, when Yi Duanfang told him how many she had eaten, Wang Weixi knew that Chen Kexin was still in a bad mood, not as a happy little rabbit as Yi Duanfang said.
Chen Kexin noticed a hint of concern in her husband’s face and said awkwardly, “Lamian was so delicious, so I ate a lot.”
Wang Weixi nodded, stroke her hair, and said, “Then I’ll fix you some porridge. Go to do whatever you like.” Chen Kexin responded with a nod before she entered the bedroom.
It seemed a normal and happy scene, yet Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin were clear that everything was fake. Chen Kexin did not call him “Dear” in a coy tone while Wang Weixi pretended to be gentle.
They had behaved like two children; one was maturer than the other, but now they were courteous to each other as guests.
Chen Kexin wanted to cool it with silence, but she also wanted to have a talk with her husband. She knew that human’s thought was complicated and thought that her husband would eventually speak his mind with her. However, Wang Weixi did not mention it at all as if he had forgotten that they had quarreled with each other.
The quarrels between the couple were like a fog that lingered there. If they did not speak out, the bad feelings would remain in their hearts, which would gradually break their relationship. Silence could not solve any problem.
Wang Weixi was so stubborn, which was worrying.
Things could not be fixed like this. Even if Wang Weixi wanted, Chen Kexin, who came up with a solution, was unwilling to let the problem be solved in silence. Nevertheless, she knew she could not do anything to the headstrong Wang Weixi.
This play was directed by Chen Kexin, but now Wang Weixi led her by the nose, not knowing whether she was poor at directing or Wang Weixi was adept at acting.
Wang Weixi crawled into bed early and seemed to fall asleep. Turning off the computer, Chen Kexin sat by the bed and looked at Wang Weixi. She reached out her hand to touch his eyebrows and eyes before she lowered her head and planted a kiss on his forehead, finding her eyes red and filled with tears.
She quickly got up, fearing that Wang Weixi would see this embarrassing look when he suddenly opened his eyes.
But her hand was caught by a gentle one. Wang Weixi had pulled her to the bed and wrapped her in his arms before she figured out what had happened.
Chen Kexin widened her eyes and looked at him in a panic because tears were hanging on the corner of her eyes at the moment.
“Why are you crying? Why not tell me?” Wang Weixi gently touched her face and asked distressedly. Chen Kexin lowered her gaze and replied in a flat tone, “It will only make you sad if I tell you.”
Wang Weixi grinned.
