Chapter 179 Su Qingge: That's your liar dad!
The soft pillow with pale purple tassels landed squarely on Lin Zhou's chest.
"Ouch!"
Lin Zhou let out an extremely exaggerated scream, then collapsed onto the sofa, clutching the cushion tightly with both hands, curling up like a frightened quail.
"You murdered your husband! Wife, even if my crime is heinous, at least give me a chance to appeal!"
He raised his head, his peach blossom eyes blinking, trying to fool people with his usual "playing the victim" trick.
"Appeal?"
Su Qingge sneered, crossed her arms, and looked down at this man whose acting skills could win an Oscar.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance."
She extended a slender finger and gently tapped Lin Zhou's forehead, her tone becoming more forceful with each tap.
"Come on, tell me about it."
"Two months ago, who was it that came to me with sheet music and asked, 'Honey, why can't I hit this high note? Am I just not talented?' And then made me teach you vocal techniques like an idiot for three whole nights?"
Lin Zhou's eyes darted around, and he touched his nose guiltily.
"That... that's to improve the relationship between husband and wife."
"Oh, to enhance feelings?"
Su Qingge wasn't buying it at all and continued her tirade.
"And what about last month? Who told me they were going to negotiate business with the film crew, only to come back late at night and lie to me, saying they were out eating barbecue? Were you actually at the Bird's Nest for rehearsals?"
"besides!"
Mentioning this made Su Qingge furious, and her beautiful eyes narrowed instantly.
"Last night in the car, who was it that was crying and shouting that the 'system' was a red string? And they even seriously made up some dialect custom for me? Lin Zhou, with your talent for making up lies, it's a waste that you're not writing novels!"
These incidents, one by one, are practically a recap of a massive social disaster.
Lin Zhou was speechless after being rebuked, feeling that his little thoughts were as naked as if he were not wearing clothes in front of his wife.
"Wife, I was wrong."
He put down the cushion, slid off the sofa, and knelt directly on the carpet, clasping his hands together with a sincere expression.
"I just... wanted to give you a surprise, didn't I?"
"Think about it, if I had told you from the beginning that I was the King of Singers, would you have been able to cry so tearfully and so movingly when you saw me take off my mask yesterday?"
"That contrast between hell and heaven, that dizzying feeling of being struck by immense happiness—isn't that the best gift I could give you?"
This twisted logic actually makes some sense.
Su Qingge was stunned for a moment. Her anger, which had been burning inside her, actually subsided by more than half after he said that.
Thinking back on it carefully, the shock and emotion she felt yesterday were indeed the most unforgettable memories of her life.
If I had known it was him earlier, perhaps that unforgettable feeling would have been less intense.
"Glib-tongued."
She snorted, though she still complained, the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.
"Even if it was a surprise, you couldn't have kept me lying for so long! Do you know how worried I was? I thought you were seeing someone else!"
"My heart only has you; there's no room for anyone else."
Seeing this, Lin Zhou immediately climbed up the pole.
He stood up, ignoring Su Qingge's feigned anger, and reached out to pull her into his arms.
The familiar scent of shower gel wafted over, mixed with her unique cool aura, making Lin Zhou's heart flutter.
"open!"
Su Qingge made a symbolic struggle twice, then punched his chest with her small fist.
"I won't let go!"
Lin Zhou started acting like a rogue, resting his chin in the crook of her neck and rubbing against her like a big golden retriever.
"Honey, please forgive me this once. I promise I'll never lie to you again."
"real?"
"More real than real gold! If I lie to you again, I'll be punished... punished to tell Nuonuo stories for the rest of my life!"
"What kind of punishment is this?"
Su Qingge was amused and pinched his soft waist hard.
"hiss--"
Lin Zhou gasped; this time it really hurt.
The two started playfully fighting in the living room.
Taking advantage of his strength, Lin Zhou would tickle Su Qingge one moment and lift her up high the next. Su Qingge wasn't going to give in either, grabbing a cushion as a weapon and chasing him around the sofa.
In an instant, the once quiet villa was filled with laughter and joy.
The estrangement caused by the concealment vanished completely in this childlike chase and play.
Finally, both of them were exhausted.
He collapsed onto the sofa, panting heavily.
Su Qingge's hair was a little messy, and her cheeks were flushed, making her look exceptionally beautiful.
She turned her head and looked at Lin Zhou beside her.
This man, despite possessing extraordinary talent, was willing to act like a child in front of her. He could have stood at the pinnacle of the world, yet he was willing to set aside all pride just to make her happy.
"husband."
She called softly.
"Um?"
Lin Zhou turned his head and met her shimmering, watery eyes.
"From now on... don't make me worry anymore."
"it is good."
Lin Zhou took her hand, kissed it, his eyes gentle yet firm.
The atmosphere was just right, the lighting was soft and ambiguous.
Just as Lin Zhou thought that he might be able to go with the flow tonight and unlock the "new tricks" that he didn't have time to implement yesterday.
Su Qingge suddenly sat up, straightened her slightly disheveled collar, and the gentle expression on her face instantly vanished, transforming her back into the aloof diva.
"Although my anger has subsided somewhat, this matter cannot be left unresolved."
She stood up and looked down at Lin Zhou, who was still lying on the sofa grinning foolishly.
"If I let you off easily, you'll dare to do it again next time."
"so……"
She pointed to the closed master bedroom door on the second floor, a cryptic smile playing on her lips.
"The door is locked tonight."
"You decide what to do."
After saying that, she turned and went upstairs without looking back, leaving Lin Zhou with a dashing and heartless back view.
Lin Zhou: "???"
This plot isn't right!
Weren't you all all lovey-dovey just a moment ago? How did it turn into a "stay-at-home order" in the blink of an eye?
"Wife! No!"
He sprang up with a quick, leaping motion, trying to catch up.
"Click".
The crisp sound of the lock clicking shut rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a pink sticky note was slipped under the door.
The drawing above depicts a grinning rabbit, with a line of neat, small handwriting next to it:
[Given the serious nature of Comrade Lin Zhou's deception of the organization, he is hereby punished with a one-night "separation." Note: The sofa may be a bit hard, but it's suitable for reflection.]
Lin Zhou picked up the sticky note, looked at the words, then at the empty living room and the cushion he had just used as a shield. He felt a desolate evening breeze carrying fallen leaves past his head.
This is...
Is this the price that comes with the so-called "surprise"?
