Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Seeing the smile of triumph on Lei's lips, Shan Lai wished she could tear off his hypocritical mask. How could he speak so ruthlessly one second and then chat and laugh with her like a gentleman the next?

"Okay, I'll take you to pick osmanthus flowers." Lei tapped her forehead lightly.

"Oh." Shanlai was still thinking about what happened just now, so there was a hint of resentment in the look he gave Lei.

The two went to the yard to pick osmanthus flowers. Lei helped her hold the ladder, while Shanlai took a basket and began to pick them attentively, saying a few words from time to time. The scene was as beautiful as it could be.

After picking the flowers, they washed the fresh osmanthus flowers together and concentrated on making cakes. As long as the two of them were together, time seemed to pass quickly. By the time they finished making the osmanthus cakes, the sun had already started to set.

As soon as it was done, Shanlai couldn't wait to take a piece and take a bite. The fragrance of osmanthus spread throughout her mouth. The fresh osmanthus cake was indeed delicious and she really loved it.

Looking at Lai who was still cleaning the kitchen table, Shan Lai took a piece of cake and fed it to him. "It tastes good, right?" She blinked and took a bite of the cake she had just fed to Lai.

"Yeah." Lei answered her with a smile, put the remaining osmanthus flowers aside, and slowly took two steps towards Shanlai with a smile on his face.

Seeing Lei walking towards him, Shanlai subconsciously took a step back, his waist hitting the edge of the cooking table, with the remaining half piece of osmanthus cake still in his hand.

He chuckled, leaned over and took a bite of the cake in her hand, glancing at her reaction while eating.

Looking at the half-eaten cake in his hand, Shan Lai looked at Lei and said, "Lei, why do you always steal my things?" Then he fed the remaining small piece into his mouth.

After she finished eating the osmanthus cake, the two of them just looked at each other, and no one spoke. It wasn't awkward, after all, they were already so familiar with each other, it was just that neither of them spoke.

Shanlai felt that the way people looked at her was gradually becoming perverted. She didn't know why, but she always felt that people were looking at her as if they were looking at golden fried chicken legs, and that they might eat her up one day.

Before she could say another word, he kissed her. His kiss was not as gentle as his face. On the contrary, it was a little abstinent and restrained.

His kiss was hot, tempting her little by little, making her put her arms around his neck and sink into the desire he had woven.

Perhaps he felt that keeping her head down was not a good idea, so he lifted her up and placed her on the cooking table. Their lips intertwined, and the whole kitchen was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. The sound of their kiss made people blush.

In the end, Shanlai was almost leaning limply in Lei's arms. Anyway, they had done this kind of thing many times, so they were just becoming more and more proficient at it. She might have been shy at the beginning, but now she had nothing to be shy about.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Shan Lai patted Lei's hands and took his hands to play with them carefully. His hands were actually very beautiful, with fair skin and slender joints, like a perfect work of art.

Lei lowered his eyes to look at her and said, "Okay, I'll take you there." Then he carried her down, took the wrapping paper beside her, divided the prepared osmanthus cakes into several portions, and carefully put them into the bag.

I went into the hall with her, and there was no one there.

Shan Lai glanced around the hall. His parents should be at Deng Hezhi's house. After all, all his relatives were gone.

Putting down the osmanthus cake in his hand, Lei said hello to her and went home first. Looking at the wrapped osmanthus cake on the passenger seat, Lei couldn't help laughing. This was made by the two of them together. His mother would probably like it.

……

The next few days were very peaceful. After all the members of Deng Hezhi's family were gone, Deng Heyin stepped forward to take charge of the situation and buried all those people, which drew praise from everyone in the circle.

Xiaoyou came to see Shanlai that afternoon. She was very happy because Xiaoyou seemed to have not played with her much since she married Ximen. She had been busy learning the etiquette needed for socializing in the Ximen family.

The Ximen family is one of the oldest families in Country K, and there are so many etiquettes. Shanlai suddenly felt sorry for Xiaoyou. Learning those things is really tiring and tests one's patience because they are too boring. If it were Shanlai, she probably wouldn't be able to persist and would be a life of working for three days and drying the net for two days.

"Xiaoyou, I miss you so much." Shanlai rubbed Xiaoyou's body, expressing her longing for her.

Xiaoyou rubbed her little head and said, "I miss you too, but there is nothing I can do. I'm very busy every day now." She sighed. Although Ximen didn't tell her to care about other people's opinions, she still had a lot to learn. She had never dreamed that she could be with Ximen, let alone get married.

Now that they are really married, she suddenly realizes that the gap between her and the Ximen family cannot be offset by their love. He also needs a good wife who can help him out in the world, so she will work hard to learn those complicated and boring social etiquettes. She doesn't want to embarrass Ximen.

Since the two are in love, they must become people that can make each other proud for the sake of each other. Xiaoyou also wants Ximen to be able to achieve something in his career, and she doesn't want to hold Ximen back.

Shanlai looked up at Xiaoyou. She found that Xiaoyou seemed to have more and more of a little woman's feeling after marriage. She used to give people the impression of a young and lovely girl, but now she gave people a feeling of being gentle, generous, well-educated and polite. Xiaoyou really changed a lot for Ximen.

"Shanlai, even though Ximen and I are married, I still need to learn a lot. I don't want to be a woman who embarrasses him or can't help him." Xiaoyou held Shanlai's hand, with unprecedented determination in her eyes. "Since he chose me, as his wife, I have the obligation to let him pursue his career without worries."

Shan Lai sighed. Ximen is the crown prince of the family, and Xiaoyou is the crown princess. She will have to bear and face more situations in the future, not a bit less than now. Xiaoyou is really working hard to learn those things.

"I know, Xiaoyou, you have done a great job. You are the cutest, most outstanding and motivated girl I have ever met." Shanlai said the truth, and it was also what was in her heart.

In this life, she was able to learn so many things and languages ​​because of her blessed family background, but Xiaoyou was just a simple girl. It was really difficult for her, who had not been exposed to much, to learn those things about the rich and powerful.
