Chapter 34 Worrying about Loss
"Do you know how much I want to find you these days? But I can't. I'm really in pain."
"All the servants in the mansion look down on me, saying that I have no manners and am not worthy of you. Woohoo... I am trying hard, I am trying hard to be worthy of you, are you still not satisfied?"
"I tried hard to become the person I was at the border, working hard on business, thinking about surprising everyone."
"How could you miss me so much?"
Shen Wei's voice was choked with sobs and he shed tears of grievance.
In the past, it was Xie Yuchuan who mentally suppressed her.
Now, it is her turn to mentally suppress Xie Yuchuan.
"No, Weiwei is not like that. I just don't want you to suffer like this. It makes me sad to see you coming home with bruises every day." Xie Yuchuan felt powerless and guilty.
He held Shen Wei in his arms and patted his back gently to comfort him.
The result was a success.
Xie Yuchuan was stunned for a moment, with shock and heat in his eyes, and he was reluctant to move down: "Weiwei, your waist...how come it's become thinner? And this part, it seemed..."
Shen Wei shed a string of tears and continued, "After training for so long, your waist will naturally become thinner. Isn't it normal for your hips to be rounder?"
"But aren't those men who train physically very strong, with broad shoulders and strong waists?"
Xie Yuchuan really didn’t understand.
Shouldn’t martial arts training become vulgar and embarrassing?
How come it becomes more and more beautiful?
"Of course not."
Shen Wei said with tears in her eyes: "Men's body structure is different from women's. To achieve the same strength, women need to put in 4-7 times more effort, and it also depends on body shape and skeleton."
"I have a thin frame. I want to train myself into a strong and muscular body like a military commander. Even if I have thirteen hours a day, I can't do it."
"My little effort can at most make my body tighter and better looking."
"Xie Yuchuan, you are not afraid that I will become extremely strong, so you despise me, right? I have suffered so much for you, but you don't understand me at all. I am really sad..."
Xie Yuchuan really doesn't know this common sense.
He was indeed worried that Shen Wei would become uncouth and as strong as an ox, which would make him a laughing stock.
Seeing Shen Wei crying so sadly, Xie Yuchuan felt distressed. The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. Looking at Shen Wei's increasingly curvy and perfect figure, he swallowed back the words that wanted to ask Shen Wei to stop insisting.
He thought, since Shen Wei likes it, let her go...
It's just some public opinion.
With him protecting her, Shen Wei cannot be hurt.
"Don't cry, Weiwei. Blame me. Blame me for ignoring your feelings during this period of time. I know you have suffered a lot since you came into the mansion with me. Don't cry. If you like it, then let it be."
"If you want to go to the temple to burn incense, then go with Aunt Zhao. After all, it is me who has let you down..." Xie Yuchuan began to reflect on himself, wondering if he really didn't understand Shen Wei enough.
Seeing Shen Wei crying so sadly, he sighed, and with heartache in his eyes, he wiped Shen Wei's tears with his fingertips.
The carriage did not return home.
At Shen Wei's request, they headed towards the cake shop on East Street.
Shen Wei felt sorry for herself for being so humble and weak, so she could only use her tears to make Xie Yuchuan soften his heart. She was pretending to be pitiful at first, but suddenly, she couldn't control her emotions and cried sincerely.
She was crying for Shen Wei, who was imprisoned in this era and couldn't find his way home.
Shen Wei was crying and trying every possible means just to gain a little freedom and power.
drapery,
You have to believe in yourself, move forward and don't look back.
Don't be greedy for the immediate comfort and don't listen to the advice and ridicule of these ancient people. You know, women who live freely and equally under the red flag cannot tolerate the feudal darkness.
-
The East Street cake shop half a month ago was unremarkable.
Now the renovated shop is very unique and eye-catching.
Shen Wei got some colored paint from somewhere and painted the wooden walls in warm yellow, making the shop look very bright. Hand-painted pictures of birthday cakes were hung on the walls.
The painting is so lifelike that the characters and cakes seem to jump out of the picture.
The plaque has been made and is covered with a large red cloth. No one knows what is written underneath.
"This, is this the shop you opened?"
As soon as Xie Yuchuan got off the carriage, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
In this world where people are hungry and cold, ordinary people’s shops have no style at all. They just need to be clean and pleasing to the eye and then they can open for business and sell things.
Only those taverns and restaurants that entertain high-ranking officials and nobles will be made to look grand and luxurious.
As a marquis, is there any place Xie Yuchuan has not been to?
But he had never seen warm yellow wooden walls, never seen a shop so artistic with paintings hanging on the wall, and never seen anyone paint food and people so realistically? ?
"Weiwei, who painted this painting on the wall?"
"I have never seen such a painting method before. How is it done?"
"It doesn't look like an ink painting, nor does it look like an oil painting..." Xie Yuchuan looked at the paintings in shock.
Shen Wei took down a painting at random.
The painting depicts parents and a little girl sitting together. The girl closes her eyes and makes a wish to the colorful cake, her eyes full of ease and happiness. Her parents look at her with tolerance and love.
There are no words on the painting, but the characters are vivid.
People of this era don’t even recognize a cake, let alone the meaning of this painting.
"I don't know what this painting method is. Maybe it's called watercolor painting? First use a fine brush to draw the shape, and then add color. I once learned it for a while, but unfortunately I only learned the basics and didn't master it thoroughly."
"You drew this?" Xie Yuchuan was horrified.
We have known each other for such a long time.
He never knew that the person in front of him was so outstanding.
Shen Wei raised his hand and touched the girl in the painting, and said with a smile: "Yes, I once saw a portrait in the gallery. Even the texture of the clothes and hair was clearly visible. It was shocking."
"I just exerted my best strength under limited conditions."
"You are so surprised, it's just that this kind of painting method has never appeared here before."
Xie Yuchuan turned his head and looked at the woman standing next to him.
The light hit her face, her eyelashes were black and curled, her skin was as soft as jade, and she looked at the person in the painting with a focused and gentle gaze, as if she was recalling something through the painting...
There was a moment,
Xie Yuchuan felt like his heart skipped a beat.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, and suddenly felt a little flustered. He reached out and embraced Shen Wei.
It seemed that only by holding Shen Wei's soft hand in his palm could Xie Yuchuan feel a sense of reality, and feel that Shen Wei was real and would not leave him at any time.
In the last month.
Xie Yuchuan always had a feeling of being worried about gain and loss. Shen Wei was clearly standing there, but he always gave him the illusion that he was out of reach: "Weiwei, if this shop can't be run, then go back home."
