Rebirth of the Pampered Wife's Daily Life CH11

 Chapter 11: Couplet

On the road, Xu Lang searched, as expected, in his previous life, all the support roles Xia Teng acted as, none of them were cast away this life too.

And this director's female third role, was one of the many roles with the most acts.

Xu Lang looked at Xia Teng, his face became complicated, he had thought that he had changed the trajectory of this person's life, but to think, they still went down the same path.

"You really like acting?" Xu Lang asked.

Xia Teng was stunned for a bit, then said, "Like!"

Not waiting for Xu Lang to ask why, Xia Teng smiled so much her eyes narrowed, "Earn so much money, and the director also told me, after I become red[1] later, the salary can reach the millions......"

Xu Lang: "......"

"I need to work hard to become red, so that I can earn money and give it to you~"

Xu Lang: "......"

Forget it. Wait for her to grow older, then she will understand the things she should understand. 

"Follow me home tomorrow. Wait until you get into college, then decide your career path." Xu Lang said.

Xia Teng nodded, "Ok, ok."

At this time Xu Lang, found, that there was still a bright red mark on Xia Teng's neck, "Go to the hospital first."

"Huh?" Xia Teng's first reaction was thinking if Xu Lang was feeling uncomfortable somewhere, then she saw Xu Lang looking over, reacting and realizing that her neck hurted a little.

Orignally she wanted to say that it was nothing, but in the end she didn't say it out, she really cherished this feeling.

In the past, when she was being careless she fell off from the tops of the mountain, fresh blood spilled out of her arms, but no one thought it was anything to make a big deal out of, and there was definitely no one who cared for her.

But, now, just accidently getting strangled a bit, someone actually wanted to take her to the hospital.

Xia Teng really cherished this feeling.

The doctor applied medicine on Xia Teng, and bandaged it up, Xu Lang was outside making a call.

Waiting until Xia Teng came out, Xu Lang had already finish taking care of business.

Xu Lang brought Xia Teng back to the hotel.

Early morning the next day, opening the door he saw a neatly dressed, bright-eyed Xia Teng standing by the door.

"Did you eat breakfast yet?"

"I also only just woke up a bit ago." Xia Teng touched her own head.

Xu Lang looked at Xia Teng's frozen cold red hands, completely not believing that the other party had just got up.

Arriving back at city A, Xu Lang directly brought Xia Teng back to his house.

"In the future you will live in this room." Xu Lang opened the door, he moved his study room up to the balcony, so the side room had once again turned back into a bedroom, because the balcony is tightly closed, it doesn't have much impact on him.

Xia Teng was at a bit of a loss, "That......that......"

"Just think of it as my investment." Xu Lang said, "Look around and see if there's still anything you need."

The room wasn't that big, but the arrangement made one feel warm, floral wallpaper, a pink princess bed, and there was even a big closet......

Of course this wasn't arranged by Xu Lang, he had found someone to arrange the room, that person also didn't see Xu Lang, but hearing Xu Lang's voice, he thought the room was for Xu Lang's daughter, so the arrangement was done to match a young girl.

Xu Lang saw Xia Teng's eye rims turning a bit red, inexplicably he felt a bit lost.

He seemed to have never seen Xia Teng react like this before.

……………………………………………………

The New Years towards Xu Lang, was only an extra day off.

The lights around the small community were lit up, the stores outside were also starting to do various activties.

When Xu Lang got up from bed, he found that Xia Teng had long gotten up, and had cleaned up the house.

"You don't have to do this, every week the cleaning company comes over." Xu Lang said.

"There's only two more days until New Years, you can't clean during the New Years, or you will clean out all your fortune." Xia Teng replied seriously.

"Right, we still haven't gone New Year's shopping, I'm going New Year's shopping in a bit, do you want to go together?" Xia Teng's excitement was visible at first glance.

Xu Lang froze for a second, then nodded, New Year's shopping? He seemed to never have done any of that in many years.

The supermarkets were filled with crowds of people, Xia Teng was not much different from the kids on the side, taking a look at every little thing.

The adult by the side was saying to their kid, "Don't run around, there's so many people, if you get lost then what, quickly hold onto dad's hand."

Xu Lang looked at the person that was like a runaway horse[2], and could only hold her hand tightly, "Don't get lost."

Xia Teng's hands were different from Xu Lang's fair bony hands that also had a bit of strength in them, Xia Teng's hands were cold, and red all year round.

Looking at her own hands, and seeing the especially big contrast between Xu Lang's hands, Xia Teng's face flushed red, but in the end she was still reluctant to take her hand back.

Saying while stammering, "Oh......ok......"

Xu Lang found that, the girl who was like a runaway horse, had turned completely quiet.

"What happen? What do you want to buy?" Xu Lang thought maybe he was too harsh, thus he asked.

"I heard them say, that during the New Year's you have to eat fish, having the indication of every year having more[3]." Xia Teng said, "We also need to buy chicken."

Xia Teng really wanted to rush over to where those aunts were fighting for goods, but she was also reluctant to slip away from the other's warm hand.

Therefore she felt entangled.

"If you like it then buy it." Xu Lang said.

After he took Xia Teng over to pick out fish, after picking one, he handed it over to the employee to process.

Xu Lang got a shopping cart from the side, one hand leading Xia Teng, another pushing the cart, "Whatever you like, you can put it into the cart."

Thus Xia Teng quickly filled up the cart.

At this time the fish had also finished getting processed.

The two went to line up.

Xia Teng was still in a state of excitement, "Later when we go back we can put up couplets!"

Xu Lang nodded, "Ok."

When it was time to pay, Xia Teng did not let Xu Lang swipe his card at all, absent-mindedly paying herself.

Xu Lang: "......" Forget it, as long as she's happy.

Fortunately, their community wasn't far from the supermarket, the two holding many things, quickly arrived home.

The first thing Xia Teng did really was put up couplets.

Xia Teng came forth herself carrying over a stool, and began putting it up.

When she came down, she almost cried.

"I......I put it up crooked......"

Xu Lang did not have OCD, and expressed, that also long as it was stuck upright it was fine.

Xia Teng couldn't stand it, "I will go buy another one!" Saying this she seemed like she was going to dash out the door.

"Don't buy couplets, buy couplet paper, buy a few extra papers, I will write. This way even if it's slanted, it would be fine." Xu Lang didn't stop Xia Teng, and spoke.

Xia Teng rushed to the small community's gates, and bought couplet paper.

Xia Teng had never doubted Xu Lang's words.

When she came back, she found that Xu Lang had already taken down what she put up earlier.

Xu Lang had already taken out a writing brush and ink.

"What do you want to write?" Xu Lang asked.

"Wait for a second, let me go see what was written on that couplet we bought earlier." Xia Teng said.

Yes, that's right she had never even looked at what was written on the couplet, and still bought it.
