Chapter 460 You're Drunk
"Shazhu? Is there something wrong?" Qin Huairu opened the door and looked at him in surprise.
"No...nothing, I just...just want to ask you, what do you want to eat for dinner?" Sha Zhu scratched his head awkwardly.
Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Cornmeal porridge and some pickles."
"Oh..." Sha Zhu paused and asked, "Where are the children?"
"Banggeng and Xiaodang are doing their homework in the house, and Huaihua is playing in the yard."
Sha Zhu nodded, said nothing more, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Silly Zhu!" Qin Huairu called him, "If you...if you haven't eaten yet, come in and have something to eat with us."
Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He wanted to agree, but felt embarrassed.
"No need, Huairu, I... I'm not hungry." After he said that, he left as if escaping.
Back in the house, Sha Zhu became even more restless. His mind was full of Qin Huairu's figure, her gentle smile, her concerned eyes, which made him feel confused. He felt that he must be crazy to have such a strange feeling towards Qin Huairu.
He shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of all these distracting thoughts, but the more he did so, the clearer Qin Huairu's shadow became. He grabbed the bottle of wine on the table irritably and took a big gulp.
Early the next morning, Sha Zhu was awakened by a knock on the door.
He opened the door and saw Qin Huairu standing at the door with a bowl of steaming porridge in her hand.
"Shazhu, you didn't sleep well last night, right? You don't look well. I made some porridge for you, drink it while it's hot."
Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's concerned eyes, feeling mixed emotions. He took the porridge and drank it silently.
"Silly Zhu," Qin Huairu looked at him, "I know you feel bad, but life has to go on. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me, don't keep it in your heart."
Sha Zhu nodded, feeling deeply moved. He suddenly felt that Qin Huairu was like a bright light, illuminating his dark life.
In the following days, Qin Huairu showed more concern for Sha Zhu. She would bring him food every day, chat with him, and help him clean his room. Sha Zhu gradually got used to Qin Huairu's company, and he found that he could only feel a little warmth and happiness when he was with her.
One night, Sha Zhu drank too much and returned to the courtyard, where he ran into Qin Huairu.
"Shazhu, have you been drinking again?" Qin Huairu frowned, with a hint of blame in her tone.
"I...I feel sad..." Sha Zhu said drunkenly.
"What's wrong? Tell me." Qin Huairu supported him and walked to a stone bench in the yard and sat down.
Sha Zhu leaned on Qin Huairu's shoulder and talked about his own thoughts. He talked about his longing for Lou Xiao'e, his hatred for Xu Damao, and his confusion about the future.
Qin Huairu listened quietly, patting his shoulder from time to time to comfort him.
"Silly Zhu," Qin Huairu said softly, "I know you feel bitter, but you can't keep living in the past. Lou Xiao'e is gone, and Xu Damao has been punished. You should look forward."
Sha Zhu raised his head and looked into Qin Huairu's eyes. Her eyes were full of tenderness and understanding.
"Huai Ru..." Sha Zhu choked, "I...I like you..."
Qin Huairu was stunned, and her cheeks turned red instantly. She didn't expect Sha Zhu to suddenly say such a thing.
Under the influence of alcohol, Sha Zhu hugged Qin Huairu and kissed her lips.
Qin Huairu struggled for a while but did not push him away.
At this moment, the courtyard was quiet, with only the rustling sound of leaves in the wind.
In the distance, Jia Zhang secretly hid in the corner, watching this scene, with a sinister smile on her face...
Sha Zhu's kiss was full of alcohol, rough and clumsy. Qin Huairu's initial struggle gradually softened, the numbness of alcohol and the familiar warmth of Sha Zhu made her a little dazed. She closed her eyes and let this sudden emotional storm sweep over her.
Jia Zhang hid in the corner, her face twisted with excitement. She had waited for this moment for too long. The union of Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu meant a lot to her. She seemed to have seen the beautiful scene of Sha Zhu working hard every day, handing over all his wages to her, and providing Bang Geng with delicious food and drinks.
After a long time, Sha Zhu finally let go of Qin Huairu, his eyes blurred, with a hint of childlike satisfaction. Qin Huairu's face flushed, she gently pushed Sha Zhu away, tidied up her messy clothes, lowered her head and dared not look at him.
"Huai Ru..." Sha Zhu's voice was hoarse, "I... I just..."
"I know." Qin Huairu interrupted him, her voice was thin and soft, "You've drunk too much."
"No, I'm not drunk." Sha Zhu shook his head stubbornly, "I'm sincere... I like you, Huairu."
Qin Huairu's heart was beating wildly. She raised her head and looked at Sha Zhu's serious eyes. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Sha Zhu mustered up his courage and held Qin Huairu's hand: "Huairu, I know I am not worthy of you, but I will definitely treat you well, better than anyone else. I will take care of you, Banggeng and Xiaodang, and I will let you live a good life."
Qin Huairu's hands trembled slightly. Sha Zhu's rough hands gave her an inexplicable sense of security. Over the years, she has been raising three children by herself, and only she knows the bitterness and pain. She longs for a man to rely on, a man who can give her warmth and protection.
"Silly Zhu..." Qin Huairu's voice choked, "I...I..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jia Zhang's sharp voice: "Okay! Qin Huairu, you shameless bitch! I knew you had bad intentions. You have been hooking up with Sha Zhu for a long time, right?"
Jia Zhang rushed out from the corner, pointing at Qin Huairu's nose and cursing. She had expected this scene a long time ago, and had deliberately been hiding in the dark, waiting to catch him in the act so that she could legitimately tie Sha Zhu to the Qin family's chariot.
Qin Huairu's face turned pale instantly. She didn't expect Jia Zhang to suddenly appear. She tried to explain in a panic, but was drowned out by Jia Zhang's scolding.
"Shut up!" Sha Zhu roared, staring at Jia Zhang, "What nonsense are you talking about? I know Huai Ru better than you do!"
"I'm talking nonsense? I saw you two hugging and kissing each other with my own eyes, and you still say I'm talking nonsense?" Jia Zhang was unyielding. "Qin Huairu, you vixen, you seduced my son, and now you seduce Sha Zhu. What on earth are you thinking?"
Sha Zhu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He took a step forward and wanted to teach Jia Zhang a lesson, but was stopped by Qin Huairu.
"Silly Zhu, stop arguing with her." Qin Huairu's voice trembled, "Let's...let's go back first."
Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu deeply, nodded, and helped her leave the courtyard.
Jia Zhang stood there, watching their backs as they left, with a smug smile on her face. She knew that after tonight, the relationship between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu would change dramatically.
