Chapter 41 Let Him Be Gentle

After getting the certificate, Lu Yuxiu took the girl to a department store.

Lin Xia followed the man and watched him searching on the counter, somewhat confused.

Until I heard the man say to the salesperson, "I want her lips to be this color."

Lin Xia then realized that the man brought her to buy lipstick. She was shocked and her heart seemed to be touched.

In this impoverished age, people are struggling to have enough food and clothing. Who would spend a lot of money to buy something that can only be looked at but not eaten?

The salesperson took out a lipstick and said, "Take a look at this, but don't open it."

This famous brand is an old foreign brand, which became very popular in later generations. I didn’t expect that it is available in China at this time.

Lin Xia tugged at the man's clothes and asked softly, "Why did you buy this?"

"You'll look good if you apply this." The man lowered his head and whispered in her ear, bringing out a stream of hot air that made her ears itchy.

Lin Xia's ears felt hot. She lowered her eyes and walked forward to look at the printed colors. She chose a red color that was close to her lips, which was somewhat like the tomato red of later generations.

Lipstick is a luxury item in this era, because no one will buy it due to its rarity, and also because it is expensive. Just one lipstick costs more than ten yuan.

But the man didn't even blink and paid directly.

Lin Xia held the lipstick in her hand, raised her eyes slightly and looked at the man's profile. His jawline was as firm as if carved by a knife. An indescribable sweet feeling arose in her heart, and she could only hold the lipstick tightly in her hand.

After buying the lipstick, Lu Yuxiu sent her straight home.

Tomorrow is the wedding banquet.

Standing at the gate of the Lin family's yard, Lin Xia saw that the man didn't intend to go in, so she turned around and looked at him. She saw at a glance that the man's eyes were deep and dark, as if he wanted to suck her in.

Lin Xia was standing on the steps at this time, but she still had to look up to see the man's face. Her heart was beating like thunder, and she wanted to act impulsively.

"Come here."

The little girl's voice was soft, as if she was acting coquettishly. There was only half a meter between them. The man took a step forward and there was only a palm's width between them.

Lin Xia looked around. The alley was quiet and deserted at the moment. She raised her hands and placed them on the man's shoulders. She stood on tiptoes and quickly kissed the man's lips. She was ready to leave as soon as she got close.

But a big hand grabbed his waist. Lu Yuxiu felt that the slender waist in his hand was as thin as a willow. He was afraid to use force for fear of breaking it.

"Let me go~" Lin Xia cried out softly at his actions, wanting him to let go of his hands on her waist.

She originally wanted to run away after sticking it on, but she underestimated the man's reaction ability and was caught. Her heart was pounding with nervousness and her whole face was red.

Lu Yuxiu's ears moved, he quickly lowered his head and kissed her, then let her go.

Just as he let go, a person came over from the entrance of the alley. It was Aunt Zhang, known as the loud speaker.

Lin Xia's heart was pounding, and she didn't know if she saw it.

But they forgot that they had already obtained the marriage certificate and it was legal.

"Come in." The man's voice was hoarse.

Lin Xia's face flushed, and she nodded softly when she heard that.

"Wait for me tomorrow."

Seeing the man's eyes signaling her to go in, Lin Xia glanced at him quickly and walked in.

Aunt Zhang, who was far away, saw this time and looked at the person at the door of the Lin family with excitement and gossip. She thought that this little girl from the Lin family was quite capable and good at finding men.

Lu Yuxiu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and turned back home.

Comfort yourself and just bear it until tomorrow.

Lin Xia entered the house.

Wu Fangfang asked while looking up at her sister-in-law: "Why did you take so long to come in?"

"What's that on your face?" Wu Fangfang saw her sister-in-law's surprised face. After being surprised, she was filled with curiosity and envy.

Hearing this, Lin Xia felt that her face, which had just cooled down, was burning again. When she heard her sister-in-law's question again, she would answer, "I put on makeup when I went to take pictures."

Wu Fangfang looked at it with envy, she also wanted to have it.

When Wu Fangfang saw her sister-in-law's rosy face, she seemed to understand something. She smiled and stopped asking questions, but kept looking at her face.

Lin Xia and Wu Fangfang seemed not to notice what happened at the door and felt relieved.

After checking the time, which was not much, Lin Xia returned to her room, put a lipstick she had been holding in her hand under her pillow, changed out of her white shirt, and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.

I have to go to the hospital to deliver meals later.

The wedding banquet is tomorrow, and Father Lin has taken people to arrange the wedding banquet.

Following traditional steps, some of them have been simplified a lot.

Lu Yuxiu will come to pick her up at noon tomorrow. After toasting and changing the words, Lu Yuxiu will take her back to the Lu family.

It is impossible to hold a big celebration at this time. The Lin family only invited close relatives, and the Lu family is probably doing the same.

Lin Xia quickly prepared lunch, and after eating, she took the packed food to the hospital.

The lipstick was wiped off while eating, but she didn't put it back on. It's better to keep a low profile when there is no man around.

Although they had not been together for a long time, she had already unknowingly developed a great deal of trust in him.

When they arrived at the hospital, Lin's mother was a little surprised to see that it was Lin Xia who brought her the meal.

"Didn't you get the marriage certificate today?" After asking this question, I realized that something was different about my daughter.

"Little sister, your... eyes?" Lin Xue just realized that her little sister's eyebrows and eyes were particularly beautiful today. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, which was inexplicably charming. She asked in surprise.

"Huh?" Lin Xia, who was opening the lunch box, raised her head slightly with a puzzled look.

Lin Xia touched the corner of her eyes and then she remembered, "Oh, this, I went to take photos today and put on makeup."

"Take photos?" Lin's mother was curious. Few people would take photos these days.

"Yes, you will be able to see it when the photos come out."

When Lin Xue heard this, she felt inexplicably envious. She was not bad looking, but she did not inherit all the good genes perfectly like her sister.

When Lin's mother heard her daughter talking about this, with a gentle smile on her face, she felt that she had made the right decision to let her daughter go on a blind date, and she was very relieved.

Because there is a wedding banquet tomorrow, but Lin Xue still has to stay in bed to rest, so she can't attend.

As a parent, Lin's mother must be present tomorrow, so she will not keep watch tonight.

......

At night, Lin Xia was lying on the bed and thinking about something when she heard a knock on the door.

Lin Xia got up to open the door, and saw Lin's mother holding something outside the door.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Lin Xia asked Lin's mother to come in, and they sat on the edge of the bed.

"I came to see you. Here, this is for you." Mother Lin looked at her daughter who was about to get married, and handed her something.

Lin Xia took it with a puzzled look on her face, opened it, and found that there were three hundred yuan inside.

"This is?"

"This is the betrothal money of 188 given by the Lu family. Your father and I added a little bit. This money is all given to you. Keep it well." Lin's mother said.

When Lin Xia heard this, she wanted to return it, "I'll keep it for you!"

"Why do we need this? Once you get married, our family won't need to spend a lot of money. Besides, it was the same when your sister got married." Mother Lin said with a smile.

"Mom." Lin Xia stood up and hugged Lin's mother. She was not her real daughter, but she was still moved by the deep love.

Mother Lin patted her daughter's back with amusement. She hadn't seen her little daughter in such a posture for a long time. Thinking that she was about to get married, the time when she was still a baby appeared in front of her eyes. She didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

"Okay, okay, I have something else to tell you."

Lin Xia stepped back and raised her head, with moisture still lingering in her eyes.

Mother Lin wanted to say something but stopped herself, but still managed to speak softly: "Tomorrow night, remember to ask him to be gentler."

"Be sure to remember this, or you'll suffer!" He said, and walked out embarrassedly.

Lin Xia waited until her mother left the house before she remembered what she had said.

My face turned red in an instant, I felt a little shy, and I felt a little amused and helpless.

Although she was not married in her previous life, the Internet is so developed that she has seen pigs run.
