Married to a Disabled Man in the 70s - Chapter 126
At night, Su Jiaojiao was lying in bed next to Song Qinghan, who had just come from the shower.
She immediately rolled over and nestled in his arms, tilting her head to look at him and wondered, “Qinghan, are you unhappy today?” He had been looking strange all day/
Song Qinghan wasn’t as sad by now. He was never one to complain, and now he knew where he was lacking, he had to make up for it. He had been taking notes for half a day and had crafted the best pick-up line to tell Su Jiaojiao. [1]
But it took courage to say it. He wasn’t good at being a sweet talker. Back when he had to say ‘Wifey, I love you’ five times every night for half a month, he had already been red-faced and blushing by the end of it. Not to mention these saccharine words.
So his look became more and more abnormal. It was no longer unhappy, but rather torn and strange.
As sun as Su Jiaojiao asked him this, his eyebrows raised, and his heart started to beat quickly. He tensed up and shook his head, “No.”
This time, it was more geniune than what he said on the way back from school in the afternoon.
After saying that, Song Qinghan opened his mouth, wanting to say the words he had prepared, but he felt so embarrassed by the mere thought he couldn’t say anything.
Su Jiaojiao wasn’t thick-skinned. She felt he was being real and was relieved, smiling as she went over to kiss him. “Be good. From now on, tell me if there’s something important, ok? You’re the most important person to me, and no one can compare to you. If you keep things from me, I’ll be hurt.”
I’m her most important person?
No one can compare?
Song Qinghan shot awake and he was instantly refreshed. Feeling a little hallucinatory, he hesitantly asked, “What did you just say?”
Seeing him like this, Su Jiaojiao only felt he was like Song Tianning when he made a mistake, and smiled even more gently, “I said that you are the most important person, the one who will live with me for the rest of our lives, and that even our children are no match for you.”
Her soft voice was caressing his ears, a tingling sensation spread all the way to his whole body. Song Qinghan’s throat twitched, his mind had long since been blanked out by this sudden surprise, and he had forgotten what he had prepared. Only excitement remained.
“Jiaojiao, you are also the most important person to me!” He said seriously, “I can’t compare to you!”
Su Jiaojiao arched her eyes, “I know.”
Song Qinghan became even more dizzy, carefully moving closer, their lips touching together…
*****
The next day happened to be a rest day.
Song Qinghan woke up with a start. The person in his arms was still sleeping heavily, but there was already a rattling noise outside. His parents were up cooking breakfast, accompanied by Song Tianning’s childish voice chattering away.
The sound was reduced by several magnitudes through the door of the room, and could not be heard too audibly.
Thinking about what they did last night, he felt blessed from the bottom of his heart. He was about to go back to sleep until he realised what he’d forgotten last night!
He hadn’t said what he wanted to say to Jiaojiao!
Even though Jiaojiao had said that he was the most important thing, there was no denying that her attention was being stolen by Song Tianning, right?
As a father, he was relieved that his son was so smart and lively, but he was determined not to lose to him!
He silently reviewed what he had written down last night in his head, and then opened his eyes and waited for Su Jiaojiao to open her eyes.
Su Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes and said in a drowsy voice, “What’s wrong?”
Song Qinghan’s handsome face reddened and he whispered, “Jiaojiao, I’m going somewhere.”
Su Jiaojiao asked, “Where?”
“To your heart!”
After saying that, his whole face turned red. This was one of the pick-up lines he had figured out through his research. [1]
Su Jiaojiao froze for a moment, and a bunch of goosebumps rose on her body. She could giggle at her son’s innocent cuteness, but this was really embarrassing with how seriously Song Qinghan said it.
It was so cheesy and embarrassing.
Su Jiaojiao laughed dryly and didn’t respond for half a second.
Song Qinghan’s red, handsome face slowly lost its colour after seeing his reaction, and his eyes were filled with frustration.
He really couldn’t do it after all.
Su Jiaojiao’s heart thudded and she hurriedly added, “You’ve always been in my heart!”
Song Qinghan’s expression blanked for a moment, but when he responded, his face flushed once more. He gave her another expectant look with a contented smile.
Since Jiaojiao responded to him, wasn’t she as happy to hear this as she was yesterday?
However, it turned out that he had thought too much.
Su Jiaojiao was embarrassed by this cheesy pick-up line and immediately lifted the quilt and got up, “I’m hungry. Let’s get up and have breakfast first.”
Song Qinghan, “…Oh.”
What was there not to understand about this reaction?
He decided to give up on this route. [2]
Su Jiao Jiao did not know that she had gotten away because of her bland reaction, she changed her clothes, washed up, and immediately hugged her son and kissed him twice as she washed his ears, “Tiantian, mommy missed you so much today!”
Song Tianning responded enthusiastically and loudly, “Mama! I miss you so much too!!!”
Song Qinghan was speechless.
Armos D. Platypus: Note to self – This is exactly what to avoid when trying to pick up girls.
[1] That was the worst pick-up line you could’ve chosen.
[2] Song Qinghan: Forget it, let’s let that brat have his fun for now.
