After dinner, our family of three (these words are awkward) sat in front of the TV to watch a variety show. Jiang Li did not like to watch variety shows and both of us usually fight over this. But today, he did not dare because my mother also likes to watch variety shows.
Because today, my mother had been biased in favor of Jiang Li which made me uncomfortable, so I decided to tarnish him and leaned on my mother's shoulders while watching TV and said. "Mom, Jiang Li always say variety shows are not good. Do you think he has a problem?"
My mother was laughing and enjoying the show. When she heard what I said, she pushed my head away and said. "Whatever you like, does not mean others will like it too. What did I teach you? Have you forgotten?"
I rubbed my head, not satisfied, put my head on her shoulder again and continued to stoke the fire. "Jiang Li also said that watching these shows will make one more stupid."
My mother lifted up my head and pushed me onto Jiang Li and apparently siding with Jiang Li, said. "What he meant was......those who are stupid will become more stupid after watching these shows."
I sat up and wanted to reason with my mother. Bully your own daughter.......bullying your own daughter was not a problem but to protect her son-in-law at the expense of bullying your own daughter!
My mother did not wait for my reply and with agility, pushed me hard onto Jiang Li's body, triumphantly said. "Don't cling to me. My obligation to raise you up to the age of eighteen years old had long since ended. And now the person who should support you is Jiang Li!"
Good heavens! I am the one supporting him! I am the one cooking and washing for him!
I was about to speak when he pulled me by my shoulders into his arms. His arms were very strong and I could not move. I was held in his arms, leaning on his chest. I was very angry, he was supposed to be my slave! But in front of my mother, I dared not attack. If I really attacked, then the unlucky one would surely be me.
He held me in his arms and used his chin to intimately rub against my head. Then I heard him say with a smile to my mother. "It was just an occasional joke with Xiao Yan. I did not expect her to remember."
I was angry. Occasional joke? I hear this at least once a week!
I struggled and he finally let me go. I leaned on the couch and ran my hands through my hair, stared at him angrily. He smiled leisurely and acted as if I was not staring at him but seducing him.......why did I think of the word 'seduce'. It should actually be Wang Kai or Xue Yun Feng who should seduce him!
I shook my head. The world was really becoming more and more inexplicable.
***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***
At night, when it was time to sleep, I hugged my mother, grinned and said. "Mom, I want to sleep with you."
My mother pushed me away impatiently. "What is this nonsense?"
I rubbed her on like a small spoilt pug and said. "Mom, I want to sleep with you. It's a long time since I slept with you....."
My mother yawned and ignored me.
This time, Jiang Li played his slave role well. "Mom, Xiao Yan misses you. Let her sleep with you." He paused and then added. "Anyway, the both of us have a lot of opportunities to be together."
My mother readily consented.
Double standards, different treatment! As I followed my mother, I turned back and threw an angry glance at Jiang Li.
***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***
I lay spread-eagled on the bed, my mother came over and hit my head with her hand, in a serious tone said. "Tell me, did you quarrel with Jiang Li?"
I rubbed my head and gave a reply. "No....."
My mother let out a long sigh, said. "Xiao Yan, you are not young anymore. I hope you will be together with Jiang Li."
I gave a silly laugh, said. "Mom, you think too much."
My mother stared at me. "It is you who do not know how to cherish. Jiang Li is very good to you."
Mother, you do not understand. Today he is my slave and therefore must be good to me.
My mother saw that I did not reply, then added. "For a woman to be able to find a man who is willing to spend his whole life with you, is not easy. Girl, you do not know how to appreciate Jiang Li."
I buried my head in the quilt and still did not speak. My mother's 'life' theory stimulated me. To tell the truth, I never thought of spending my whole life with him. In the past, when I was foolish, I had thought of spending a lifetime with Yu Zi Fei and the result? Basically now, I and Jiang Li were living day by day and if we were to continue living like this for the rest of our lives, it did not actually seem to be a bad idea......but why did my heart feel so empty?
***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***
Early in the morning, my mother had disappeared. I was curious as to what she was so anxious about but the old lady refused to divulge anything to me.
After breakfast, I and my slave set out for the ski resort.
Jiang Li liked the snowboard more. I think it was because snowboarding looked more fancy and stylish.
Of course, for me either snowboarding or skiing, made no difference, since I did not know both sports. But since he promised to teach me, so naturally I had to snowboard. I stepped on the board and felt as if my feet were chained down. Thinking that if I moved, I would fall and as a result, I foolishly stood still. And then, Jiang Li quietly gave me a push from behind........
I flew like an arrow, shooting forward.........although I did exaggerate a bit but the speed was enough to choke me. Moreover, I was going downhill and the speed began to pick up quickly. I was scared stiff, with my arms spread out and screaming, while desperately looking back, hoping to reduce the speed. But unfortunately, it was useless. I felt like I was sitting in an unmanned, uncontrolled car, waiting for an accident to happen.
And then the accident really happened.......
While I was frantically waving my hands and unable to balance myself, suddenly 'boom', I fell onto the snow. Though I was not injured but......my butt hurts!
Jiang Li skiing on the snowboard leisurely slide over. He was turning his board left and right similar to a slithering snake but he did not fall down. As soon as I saw the calm on his face I became furious.
Jiang Li smiled at me and extended his hand to help me up. I pulled his hand, stood up, taking advantage that he was not attentive, suddenly gave him a hard shove. He was not prepared and fell backward, of course, pulling me along with him.
I held down his body, clutched his neck fiercely and said. "Why did you give me a surprise attack?"
He did not resist and his face carried an indulgent smile. At this time, his face did not show any coldness or sharpness but with a trace of softness. The winter morning sunshine was cooling but the rays falling on his long eyelashes made my heart feel a warmth seeping in. I was deceived by his hypocrisy and slowly loosened my grip.
Jiang Li was laying on the ground, calmly smiling and said. "I just wanted to test your sense of balance." While talking, his eyelashes fluttered.
I was attracted by his long eyelashes in the sun and unconsciously reached out to touch him. I was wearing thick gloves and traces of snow was still stuck to the gloves. He was shocked and turned away his head to avoid my gloves. He said in a deep voice. "Guan Xiao Yan, don't mess around." And somehow I felt his voice carried an indulgent smile.
I recollected myself, awkwardly withdrew my hand and asked earnestly. "So.....how is my sense of balance?"
He smiled and said. "Pretty good."
I was happy with his praise and decided not to take his surprise attack to heart. Unfortunately, he continued. "Your brain is not fully developed and cerebellum have to be developed."
I had tried very hard to stand up and on hearing his words, I nearly fell down again. I could not contradict him, hopefully.......that in this world there are some perverts, whose brain and cerebellum developed at the same time, like the one in front of my eyes.
At this time, he also stood up......I refused to admit that even when he stood up, his movements were very attractive..........
Jiang Li brushed off the snow from my body and head, then said. "Okay, let's start the lesson."
Looking at the vast snow land, his tall and straight figure with skilled posture, I rubbed my butt and felt sad.
***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***
He stood on top of the snow slope and said. "When you slide down the slope, you made a common mistake and that was, you desperately wanted to stop. In fact, if you have the correct posture and surge forward, you can slide very well. There is always something in the world, once started, you are unable to stop, unable to control, such as skiing or for example........"
I scratched my head, I did not understand. "What example?"
He did not answer and smiled a reluctant smile. "You guess."
Guess? Guess what?
Although I was not satisfied, I was still very considerate towards him and said. "Jiang Li, if you do not feel like smiling, do not force yourself. There is no hard and fast rule that a slave has to smile at his master."
He staggered and nearly lost his balance. In my opinion, his skiing skill might not be as good as it looked.
