Pretty idiots are born to be played with and ruined by their husbands.

Chapter 96 Kiss me again, I didn't taste anything yesterday.

One o'clock in the morning.

Ruan Zhijuan quietly got up, went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, and came back.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Ruan Zhijuan quietly got up, went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and urinate, and then came back.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Ruan Zhijuan quietly tried to get up... but he couldn't because Zhou Gangxun held him down.

Then Zhou Gangxun gritted his teeth and whispered angrily in his ear, "Wife, if you dare to brush your teeth again, I'll kiss your mouth raw." Did you brush your teeth, pee, and then go eat before coming back this time?

Ruan Zhijuan quickly covered her mouth. "Zhou Gangxun, but my mouth and tongue feel numb and tingly, like I've been stung by a caterpillar. I still want to eat something delicious, I don't want it to spoil..."

"It'll be fine tomorrow." Zhou Gangxun took a deep breath and turned over to the other side.

What's wrong with you?

"My stomach hurts, from anger."

Ruan Zhijuan said sweetly, "I'm not angry."

"..."

Ruan Zhijuan then turned over to Zhou Gangxun's side and placed her hand on his stomach. "It doesn't hurt anymore, go to sleep."

But in fact, Ruan Zhijuan's place didn't have a stomach, only abdominal muscles.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Ruan Zhijuan realized that he was indeed a bad person. He did not burst into tears like in the TV series when he kissed Zhou Gangxun.

He remembered to write in his diary, but he figured he wouldn't be able to write anything, except for "September 3rd, Zhou Gangxun and I kissed."

At five o'clock in the morning, Ruan Zhijuan couldn't fall asleep.

I fell asleep at six in the morning.

I got up at nine o'clock in the morning.

Ruan Zhijuan walked out of the room and saw dozens of stacks of red banknotes piled up in the living room.

"Aaaaaah, what is this...?"

They are one hundred-yuan bills.

Ruan Zhijuan was truly dumbfounded. Why did she wake up to find so much money in her house?

He'd never seen so much money before. Something fell down—tears! Waaaaah!

"Zhou Gangxun...Zhou Gangxun..."

Ruan Zhijuan's eyes began to search the room for Zhou Gangxun, calling his name, but he didn't see Zhou Gangxun. A strange and complicated emotion welled up in Ruan Zhijuan's chest, like a ball of bitter cotton, entwined in his heart and blood...

It's so congested and stuffy; the moment you touch it, bitterness begins to seep out.

How can one person earn so much money all at once?

Images flashed through his mind: Zhou Gangxun's incurable limp, his damaged and deaf ears, his calloused, blackened, and hardened hands, and his stomach aching from drinking...

It's being yelled at and cursed at, yet having to smile and respond; it's being bullied with no recourse, forced to swallow your anger and suffer in silence; it's the constant flow of blood...

Is Zhou Gangxun dead?

Zhou Gangxun, who had just finished using the toilet and was washing his hands, heard Ruan Zhijuan's call and opened the door.

The moment Ruan Zhijuan saw Zhou Gangxun, she ran over. His eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face. He kept shaking his head, "Zhou Gangxun, you'll get arrested for printing counterfeit money, you'll get arrested for robbing a bank, you... you should return the money..." Don't die.

Zhou Gangxun placed his hand over Ruan Zhijuan's eyes and pulled her into his arms. "Having a nightmare? Why are you talking nonsense?"

He looked at Ruan Zhijuan quietly. The last time she cried was when she attended a literacy class.

Why did I cry when I saw this money this time?

Shouldn't we be happy?

"You earned the money legally. Were you so busy getting eaten while you were on the phone yesterday?" Zhou Gangxun rested his chin on the top of Ruan Zhijuan's head, his voice resonating in Ruan Zhijuan's head. "I told you my family is rich, and we'll be rich in the future."

Blindfolded, Ruan Zhijuan looked up at Zhou Gangxun, pouting, "Zhou Gangxun, you...you kiss me again. I didn't taste anything yesterday, so kiss me every day from now on."

He can always get better; he might as well learn to pretend.

Zhou Gangxun kissed Ruan Zhijuan's lips. "Want to get new toothpaste? I'd buy it for you even without the kiss."

His wife is empty; he must first fill her with food and clothing, money, a sense of security, joy and sorrow, the freedom to make mistakes, and a way out that he can always retreat from... he must fill her with many, many things.

Only when you are full can you have space to feel love.
