It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Meng Zhuxin was so close that Lu Bing could even smell the faint scent of rouge on her body.

He was tense, his hands placed neatly at his sides, and he didn't dare to look Meng Zhuxin in the eye: "What women want is a stable life."

"Safe?"

Meng Zhuxin nodded: "You mean the kind of life in a deep house, where you need someone to serve you when you eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and you have nothing to do all day long, just eating, drinking and having fun?"

"Uh... isn't this kind of life good?" Lu Bing didn't quite understand, but he asked even though he didn't understand. He was a good student.

“This kind of life is good, but I don’t like it.”

"You don't like it?"

"Ah."

Meng Zhuxin nodded: "The Meng family is not poor, but I have never had a decent life since I was a child. I thought that when I grew up, I would especially want such a life. My sister, as the future mistress of the Duke's Mansion, wears silk and satin and eats delicacies from land and sea. But because of her weak body, she can't give birth to a child, so she can only agree to her husband taking a concubine. She doesn't want to share a husband with others, so she puts the idea on me. Then I understand that no matter how good a person's life is, there will be unhappy times, not to mention that I don't want to live such a life."

"Although I have never met your sister, I always feel that your sister is a little jealous of you."

"envy?"

This was the first time Meng Zhuxin heard someone mention this view to her: "What do you think?"

"This is normal. For example, I envy my elder brother for being good at everything he does, but I can't. Of course, I'm not jealous of my elder brother. What about you and your sister? Your sister has everything she wants, but what's her biggest problem?"

"what?"

"She is not in good health." Lu Bing said with innocent eyes, "She enjoys the love of her parents and husband, eats well and dresses well, but she still does not have a healthy body. On the contrary, no matter how hard you are treated, your body is good. It's like the medicinal herbs in the backyard. Some grow very well without any care, while some grow very well even after careful care and fertilizer. Isn't it infuriating to compare them?"

Meng Zhuxin looked at Lu Bing, and suddenly opened her arms and hugged him.

Lu Bing's head buzzed and his whole body stiffened.

"With just one sentence, you solved a problem that I hadn't figured out for a long time. It turns out that I was overthinking things." Meng Zhuxin hugged Lu Bing tightly. His heartbeat was loud and his chest was broad enough to wrap around her. "I'm so stupid."

"You are not stupid. You are the smartest woman besides my eldest sister-in-law." Lu Bing chuckled, "If I marry you, the Wanning Marquisate will have two smart daughters-in-law. My father and mother will wake up laughing in their dreams."

"You are also very smart." Meng Zhuxin smiled, and she found herself a little greedy for Lu Bing's warm embrace.

"what?"

Lu Bing scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "But I think I'm quite stupid."

"I don't allow you to say that about yourself." Meng Zhuxin looked up at Lu Bing. She didn't know why she liked someone and wanted to stick with him every day before. Now she seemed to understand a little. "Second Master, I am narrow-minded, calculating, and have a temperament that is not gentle and virtuous. Are you willing to marry me like this?"

"But only someone like you can keep an eye on me. Besides, I'm not good at talking and I'm not very good at pleasing women. I had a friend who had to coax his wife every day and guess what she was thinking. Fortunately, he was smart and was willing to coax his wife, but when I put myself in her shoes, it seems that I can't do it." Lu Bing's face showed difficulty, "This is also my biggest shortcoming."

"I don't need a husband who talks sweet words all day and treats me like an object. If one day he doesn't love me anymore, he will think that everything I do and say is unreasonable. I must be obedient, well-behaved, sensible, and dependent on him. Even if he is obviously good for nothing, I still have to worship him."

"Oh, then this kind of person is just a person who has no talent outside, so he goes home to find it in women..." Lu Bing thought for a moment and said, "Sense of existence. Yun Ling said these three words, and I think they make a lot of sense."

Meng Zhuxin smiled as soon as she heard it: "What an appropriate word."

"Meng Er..."

"From now on, don't call me Miss Meng Er. Call me Zhu Xin."

Lu Bing's face flushed, and he asked softly, "Zhu Xin?"

"Ah."

Meng Zhuxin nodded: "I used to think my name was not nice, but when you call me like this, I think it sounds pretty nice."

"Really? Then I'll call you more often in the future, and you don't have to call me Second Young Master anymore. Just call me by my name."

"It's so strange to call my name."

"But my sister-in-law also calls me brother, and I don't feel any strangeness between them."

"They have their own way of getting along. I can't call you by your name, so I'll call you..." Meng Zhuxin suddenly wanted to tease Lu Bing, "Can I call you Brother Bing?"

"what?"

I heard the three words "Brother Bing".

Lu Bing's face was full of heat, and his tone was stuttering: "Will this, that, be too intimate?"

"Aren't you going to marry me? Do you feel intimate with just a name?" Meng Zhuxin stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu Bing on the face. She had wanted to do this for a long time. Although he was a grown man, the skin on his face was more delicate than hers.

"You and I……"

Meng Zhuxin's action made Lu Bing confused.

"Brother Bing, you are so weak." Meng Zhuxin laughed in Lu Bing's arms. She always felt that she would never meet a man who would tolerate her wholeheartedly and accept her temperament, but now she has met him.

"You, you did it so suddenly that I was unprepared." Lu Bing raised his hand and touched the place where Meng Zhuxin had kissed him, and grinned foolishly.

"What are you laughing at?" Meng Zhuxin asked.

"It was my first time being kissed by a girl, and by a girl I liked. I felt a little excited and a little happy."

"Then hug me." Meng Zhuxin found that when she faced Lu Bing, she could speak out her true thoughts frankly, and even act like a spoiled child to him, without any discomfort at all, "I've hugged you for so long, and you don't even know how to hug me."

"I, I..."

Lu Bing hurriedly put his arms around Meng Zhuxin's waist and said, "Last time when I carried you, I felt you were very light. Now your waist seems very thin. I can hold it with one hand. It seems that I need to let you eat more in the future so that you can gain weight."

When ordinary men talk about a woman’s waist, they will say, what a thin waist, what a soft waist.

But Lu Bing said, "Very thin."

Meng Zhuxin, if this doesn't move her, then her heart must be made of stone.

"Men all like slim waists, don't you?"

"The waist is too thin. It will break easily. It's not good."

Meng Zhuxin is now very sure that Lu Bing is not pretending, and he is indeed very simple when it comes to matters of love between men and women.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. I'll eat more next time and try to gain more weight." Meng Zhuxin closed her eyes and listened to Lu Bing's heartbeat. She felt satisfied and safe in her heart.
