Chapter 193 A Person Appears on the Wall

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and by noon there was no sign of stopping. Wang Guilan prepared dinner and was ready to go home in the rain.

But there was no way Lin Xia would give in, so Wang Guilan had to stay for dinner.

"What's wrong?" When Lin Xia saw that the dishes were on the table but Wang Guilan was nowhere to be seen, she went to the kitchen to check. She saw her rummaging through the cabinets and thought she was looking for something.

"Ah? I'm looking for pickles." Wang Guilan turned her head sharply when she heard the voice and hit her head against the cabinet door.

She wanted to eat some pickles in the kitchen, but she looked around and didn't see any pickles.

Lin Xia heard a bang and asked hurriedly, "Is your head okay?"

"It's okay." Wang Guilan shook her head to indicate that it was okay.

"There are no pickles at home. Do you want to eat some? Why don't you go to Sister Hongmei's house and ask for some." Pickles should be made when the weather is cold. Seeing Wang Guilan looking for pickles, Lin Xia thought she wanted them after not eating for a meal.

“No, no, no.” Wang Guilan quickly waved her hands and prepared to eat a few mouthfuls of white rice. White rice was also very rare.

Seeing that she didn't insist on eating pickles, Lin Xia turned around and said with a smile: "Then come and eat."

Wang Guilan was stunned. She didn't expect that Lin Xia came to call her to eat specifically. But she came to be a nanny. She had never had a nanny sit at the table to eat with her before.

Lin Xia took two steps and looked back. Wang Guilan was still standing there. She waved and said, "Come quickly. It's cold now. Don't let the food get cold."

When it rains and the wind blows hard, the weather becomes cool and the food tends to get cold.

Seeing that Lin Xia was really inviting her, Wang Guilan nodded blankly and followed.

After the meal, Wang Guilan rushed to wash the dishes, and Lin Xia did not compete with her, knowing that she felt embarrassed.

Lin Xia was strolling around the house, wondering when the rain would stop. Wang Guilan came out after washing the dishes and was about to say goodbye and go home.

Outside the house, the rain was pouring down like a waterfall. Everything in the distance was blurry. Just imagine how difficult it was to walk on the muddy road.

"It's raining so hard, you'll be covered in mud if you go back now. It's raining so hard, and nothing's wrong at home, so don't rush back." Lin Xia stopped him.

Wang Guilan thought so too, and since it was raining so heavily that the land couldn't be cleaned, she agreed to stay.

But this was not her own home. She always felt uncomfortable just sitting there without doing anything. Wang Guilan felt like she was sitting on a stone, feeling uneasy.

Lin Xia strolled around for a few laps and was ready to take the little one to bed. She invited Wang Guilan to sleep in the empty room upstairs, but Wang Guilan refused.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Lin Xia pointed at the sofa and said, "If you don't mind, you can lie down on the sofa."

Lin Xia took An An upstairs to sleep. The cool weather was perfect for a good sleep, and the sound of rain outside the house became the best lullaby.

Wang Guilan downstairs took a look at the soft cushion on the sofa and secretly smacked her lips. Using cotton as a cushion to sit on, how luxurious it was.

But she had to admit that it was really comfortable to lie on it. Lying on the sofa with a pillow, Wang Guilan had no habit of taking a nap. She didn't know if it was because the sofa was too comfortable or the weather was too good, but she fell asleep unknowingly.

Lu Yuxiu, who was somewhere on the island, was looking at the heavy rain and couldn't help but worry. It was raining so heavily and he wondered if Lin Xia was doing well at home.

They had just returned from their mission, but it was raining so heavily that they encountered a landslide at a high altitude. Protecting the safe transfer of the people became their temporary task.

After the rescue was over, he finally had time to think about his family. He wished he could go back to see them as soon as possible, but the rain wouldn't stop for a while, so they were afraid they wouldn't be able to evacuate and return to the team.

The rain lasted for two days and two nights before it stopped.

When she got up in the morning, the muddy road in the yard was full of potholes. Wang Guilan stopped Lin Xia from sending An An to school, and she went to school barefoot to send An An and then went to buy some vegetables.

Seeing her coming back with mud on her feet, Lin Xia stopped her and told her to continue working. She hadn't been home for two days, so she advised her to go home quickly and tell her that she could cook for herself today.

Wang Guilan had been spending two days in such close proximity with Lin Xia that she had a better understanding of Lin Xia's gentle personality. She had a really good temper and many of her ideas were different from others.

She also saw how Lin Xia doted on her children. An An slept with Lin Xia these two days. She slept in An An's room, and the little guy's room was decorated so exquisitely.

The curtains in the room were decorated with stars and moons sewn on them with colorful cloth. On the bed were various dolls made by Lin Xia. They were lifelike. Some of them were taken away by the little ones to sleep, and some that could not be taken away were left on the bed. Wang Guilan was stunned by the sight.

Little boys these days don’t have many toys. Most of them play with mud or war games. Girls are even worse. It’s rare for them to have a rubber band to jump with.

During the two days she stayed there, she also learned how to make it, and wanted to go home and make one for her children to play with. But unfortunately, the family was not divided, and if she went home to make it, the children of her eldest sister-in-law would also have to use it, and the waste cloth and cotton would be quite a lot, so she gave up the idea.

Wang Guilan went home, and Lin Xia sat on the sofa reading a book to pass the time, preparing to pick up the little one after school at noon and have a simple lunch.

"Thump, thump, thump"

Lin Xia's heart skipped a beat and she looked towards the gate of the yard. Fortunately, the road from the yard to the gate was paved with stones, otherwise she would not dare to go forward and open the door.

"Thump, thump"

It was just that the sky had just cleared up and the mud on the stones had not yet dried, and the knocking on the door sounded like an urging.

"Here you are. Who is it?"

Lin Xia asked loudly. She walked carefully for fear of falling, and stopped knocking on the door.

Then, a person appeared on the wall. Lin Xia felt the movement, looked up and widened her eyes.

Lu Yuxiu was hanging on the wall, looking at Lin Xia standing on the stone, looking up at him blankly.

"Don't move." Halfway through the shout, his voice became much softer, as if he was afraid of scaring her.

After saying that, he pushed forward with his arms and flipped over.

But in the blink of an eye, the man was already standing in front of Lin Xia, his body covered in mud and he was afraid of dirtying Lin Xia's clothes.

"You're back!" Lin Xia asked in surprise. She didn't expect that he would come back after the rain stopped. He had been away for more than a month, and she was still wondering when he would come back this time.

"Yeah, I'm back." Lu Yuxiu replied in a low voice. Just as he was about to reach out to help her, he saw that his clean palms had become dirty after climbing over the wall.

Lin Xia didn't care. Seeing the man in front of her become thinner again in just over a month, she felt so distressed that she just grabbed his hand. She was afraid that his clothes would get dirty so she couldn't hug him, but she could still wash her hands if they were dirty.

After entering the house, Lin Xia saw that he was dirty and seemed to be still wet, so she rummaged through the drawers and cupboards to find some biscuits and snacks for him to fill his stomach, and then hurried to the kitchen to open the lid of the stove, preparing to boil water for him to take a bath.

"Slow down, don't be in a hurry." Seeing her busy, Lu Yuxiu was about to do it himself, but was pressed down on the stool by Lin Xia.

Helplessly, Lu Yuxiu had to sit on the stool and enjoy his wife's busy work, with a helpless smile in his eyes and an arc unconsciously raised at the corners of his lips.

When the water was boiled, Lin Xia came out and saw Lu Yuzheng sitting on the stool drinking water and eating biscuits obediently. Then she nodded with satisfaction.

When she looked again, the man knew An An was not at home. He had taken off all his outer clothes and was only wearing his inner pants. He couldn't help but blush.

"The water isn't ready yet." Lin Xia stepped forward, suppressing her blush. Although the two of them had done everything before, she had never looked at the man like this in broad daylight.
