After dinner, Lu Xiang helped Adelia clean the dinner table and refocus on writing the 'four books and five classics' with the help of candlelight. After adjusting his writing as usual, he also wrote on a better paper to be able to sell to a bookstore.
While Adelia and Lu Cheng and Lu Shan split the chocolate that Adelia picked to ferment. He had not had time to do that because he was preoccupied with moving and making wine.
"Aren't you guys just playing? Can I do it myself?" Adelia was not happy to see the two children who were supposed to play were busy helping her.
Lu Cheng and Lu Shan shook their heads. "Let us help you brother so you don't get too tired" Lu Cheng and Lu Shan replied nodding in agreement.
Their intentions help with different goals. Lu Cheng helps because with the money his brother can continue school without being burdened by finances while Lu Shan helps because he likes the taste of sweet chocolate.
Adelia was moved by Lu Cheng's words without knowing the little boy's purpose in helping her. He smiled and hugged the two who became frozen and then kissed their cheeks one by one.
"W-what are you doing?! Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch?!" Lu Cheng cried out with a dead red face.
Indecent!! How could his sister's wife kiss him?!! What would her sister say if she found out?. Lu Cheng looked left and right and breathed a sigh of relief not seeing Lu Xiang's shadow.
Adelia was puzzled by the intense reaction Lu Cheng showed, even though he only kissed the cheek after all Lu Cheng was only 5 years old who was still studying at Kindergarten he thought so it did not matter if he hugged and kissed.
"Why? I just kissed you on the cheek. Are you ashamed of Lu Cheng hmm~?" His sister's attractive reaction made Adelia want to tease him.
"Just?! Are you crazy. I'm not a kid anymore so it's not appropriate for you to do such indecent things". Lu Cheng's face grew even reddened looking at the innocent expression of his sister-in-law.
Adelia's lips pulsed speechless. Lu Cheng's words made him skeptical and even more confused. The serious sanking of the little boy's expression made him a little guilty and doubtful. Is it possible that in ancient times it was considered unusual?. He looked at the silent Lu Shan but also with a dead red face. "alright. I'm sorry" Adelia finally relented to see Lu Cheng who was so angry though unconvincing with a crimson face extinguished. She was afraid to make her sister cry.
"Don't do that again, brother. Do you understand?". Lu Cheng was still not satisfied hearing that insincere reply.
"Yes yes. I-i understand. Boring" muttered Adelia slightly complaining.
Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and resumed his activities, Lu Shan who sat beside him occasionally glanced at Adelia and looked down embarrassed, he had been hugged and kissed by someone since his mother died. Her lips lifted up, although she was embarrassed but she liked the warm feeling when Adelia hugged and kissed her cheek, it was like she was feeling back.
The moment the atmosphere became awkward as no one wanted to open their voices until Adelia cleared her throat and asked what Lu Shan wanted to eat for breakfast tomorrow was back to normal.
They put all the cocoa beans in a container before closing tightly to ferment and breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hehe. You are indeed Lu Cheng's good son, do you want to be hugged? Good boys will get a hug gift". Seeing the reddened face, Adelia's prank instinct came out, she opened her arms ready to hug.
"You.. You are! Did you forget what I just said?! I'm not a kid anymore so you can't be profanity on me. It was harassment and you could be in jail for not having morals".
Adelia's teasing smile froze and became skeptical. This was the second time Lu Cheng had accused him of being indecent when he was just joking, seeing the serious look on the face of the little boy made him look like a pervert who was abusing a little child.
"alright then. You are no longer a child. But not with Lu Shan, how was Lu Shan? Do you want to be hugged?" Seeing Lu Cheng's dull reaction, Adelia moved on.
Lu Shan's face flushed red, he clasped tightly onto his clothes and stared in anticipation at Adelia but his hand was pulled by Lu Cheng and the two disappeared behind the bathroom door.
"Basic pervert!!" Lu Cheng's voice rang out from behind the bathroom making Adelia giggle.
Unbeknownst to Adelia, Lu Xiang saw what his wife had done to her sister, her gaze turning dark. Since Adelia was not Adelia from the Miao family, her impression on the girl improved after feeling the warmth and happiness she brought to her family, that good impression went deep and turned into wanting to do the same to Adelia.
Treat the girl well and lovingly and sincerely, Lu Xiang has never liked someone and does not know what love and like but he knows that he wants to make the sweet girl who always makes him and his sister happy, she was the only woman who entered her life.
For two weeks they slept together, at first Lu Xiang was ordinary because he thought that it was natural for a husband and wife to sleep together and he could sleep quietly without being disturbed by Adelia who slept beside him. But since he began to have the intention to give his best to Adelia, he began to have trouble sleeping because he realized that the woman he wanted to be happy was beside him.
And now he's jealous of his own little brother just for getting hugs and kisses from his wife.
It was the girl's first hug and kiss!! And it's not for him!!
Lu Xiang's pupils grew darker as he remembered. He took a deep breath and then stopped him, calming his disturbed soul, he looked at Adelia who was still laughing before entering the room.
On the other hand Adelia laughed in satisfaction and wiped the tears that came out from the tip of her eyes but a moment later her laughter froze at the thought that she had not told Lu Xiang about her wanting to sleep alone.
Their new residence now had 3 rooms and it was very fitting for him, previously he could not say anything because Lu Xiang's house only had two rooms but was now different.
But how do I say it? Saying that now we can sleep in each other's rooms?.
Adelia let out a long sigh, yet she had started to get nervous!.
