Chapter 147: Chapter 147 is all about how amazing Lu Chen is! ...

It's all because Lu Chen is so amazing! Yu Jiajia kicked his leg, "How am I supposed to go out now?"

Lu Chenzhou was quite satisfied at this moment. Looking at Yu Jiajia's swollen and moist lips, his Adam's apple bobbed. "I'm sorry, I will definitely be gentler next time."

Yu Jiajia snorted.

Lu Chenzhou unfolded the coat on his lap and put it on. He then poured hot water into the enamel basin from the thermos, wet a cloth, and wanted to help Yu Jiajia apply a warm compress to her lips.

The moment he touched Yu Jiajia's lips, even though it was a hot compress, his warm breath washed over her, and Yu Jiajia blushed. That soft, yielding feeling returned. She turned her head and said, "I'm hungry."

She was too sweet. If he hadn't tasted her, he could have tolerated it, but after tasting her, he didn't want to resist anymore.

Yu Jiajia turned her head away from his hand that was covering her lips, but revealed her profile, her cheeks flushed, and even her earlobes were pink.

He lowered his head and kissed her; she was so soft it was almost deadly.

Yu Jiajia let out a sob, her hair standing on end. She was so weak that she could barely stand. Lu Chenzhou grabbed her waist, picked her up, and sat her on the desk, completely encircling her in his arms and kissing her.

Yu Jiajia wanted to stand up straight, but her response only emboldened Lu Chenzhou.

Yu Jiajia cried from the kisses. She felt that Lu Chenzhou was like a dog, kissing every finger of hers. She felt both uncomfortable and happy. She said it was not good, but it didn't seem like she disliked it either.

Her tears were physiological; she sobbed in Lu Chenzhou's arms, "You're not allowed to kiss my ears, my neck, or bite my fingers. You're not allowed to kiss me before we get married."

That won't do.

Lu Chenzhou poured half a glass of water with one hand and coaxed Yu Jiajia to drink it to moisten her lips. He couldn't agree to any of her requests.

He misunderstood. If he loves her, he should let her know it clearly.

Someone knocked twice on the door and tried to push it open, but of course, the door was locked and wouldn't budge.

Yu Jiajia was startled and quickly got off the table. She looked around and hid under the table hole like a thief.

Lu Chenzhou found it amusing and opened the door. It was He Yuanzheng. He looked at Lu Chenzhou, who was wearing a long gown, and said, "You're all sweating. Aren't you hot? Why did you lock the door?"

He Yuanzheng tried to come in, but Lu Chenzhou blocked his way. He asked, "What is it?"

He Yuanzheng said smugly, "I'm getting married on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. You'll be my best man."

Lu Chenzhou also wanted to get married at twenty-six and was quite envious. "Okay. I still have some work to do, you can go first."

Then he closed the door and locked it again.

He Yuanzheng: ? ? ?

He suspected there was someone in the house, possibly his sister-in-law.

While the two were talking, Yu Jiajia took out a cup of well water from her spatial storage and sipped it slowly. After hearing the door close, she put the enamel cup back into her spatial storage before cautiously peeking out. Her manner was quite surreptitious.

So cute.

Lu Chenzhou squatted down beside her and asked, "Jiajia, Third Sister is getting married soon. What about us? When are we getting married?"

Yu Jiajia was shocked: "I'm only 18 years old, it's too early for me to get married."

Lu Chenzhou cupped Yu Jiajia's face in his hands. "It's getting late. My mom married my dad when she was 17."

Yu Jiajia doesn't want to get married so early; she'll wait until she's at least twenty.

Eighteen is still young.

Lu Chenzhou could only slowly coax Yu Jiajia into marrying him. He asked Secretary Xu to go to the cafeteria and order some stir-fried dishes, asking for something light in flavor. Yu Jiajia leaned on the table and said, "I want to eat boiled fish."

Her lips were still swollen, and she didn't dare to look up, afraid that Secretary Xu would see it.

The boiled fish in the county government compound is incredibly delicious—it's both numbing and spicy, and the fish is very tender. Yu Jiajia couldn't get enough of it.

Lu Chenzhou asked Secretary Xu to wait at the door for a while. He walked up to Yu Jiajia, bent down, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't your mouth sore? Can you not eat today and eat tomorrow?"

Yu Jiajia: "I want to eat it today."

The well water was so good; her mouth and tongue no longer hurt, but she didn't want to tell Lu Chenzhou.

Lu Chenzhou hooked Yu Jiajia's chin and looked at her lips. They seemed less swollen, but still very rosy, with a more vibrant color than usual.

He said, "Okay." He turned and went to the door to give Secretary Xu a few instructions.

About twenty minutes later, Secretary Xu came in with five lunchboxes: one containing boiled fish, one containing stir-fried vegetables and stir-fried shrimp, two boxes of rice, and two bottles of soda.

A table was set out.

Yu Jiajia loves boiled fish. She removes all the bones, making it especially tender. It's coated in sesame and chili oil, giving it a numbing and spicy flavor. It's very satisfying to eat with rice.

Yu Jiajia ran away after eating, refusing to be alone with Lu Chenzhou any longer. She had already taken leave, so naturally she wouldn't go back to the factory. In this cold weather, it was perfect to stay home and sleep.

Lu Chenzhou then took her home, sliding along the way, and even bought her two candied hawthorns.

Neither Grandma Yu nor Grandpa Yu were home. Yu Jiajia took out her keys from her bag and opened the door. Lu Chenzhou followed her in. Yu Jiajia's eyes widened: "You'd better hurry up and go to work, or you'll be late."

Lu Chenzhou chuckled: "It's alright."

With no one else at home except Yu Jiajia and Lu Chenzhou, the timing was perfect, and it would be a shame not to kiss in this setting.

Finally, Yu Jiajia covered her mouth and chased Lu Chenzhou away.

She closed the door, went back to her room, lay down on the bed, her cheeks still burning, trying hard not to think about it... She took off her shoes, covered herself with the blanket, and went to sleep.

It's so wonderful not to have to work.

That afternoon, Lu Chenzhou brought some snacks to Zheng Yuhua and asked her to go to the Yu family to arrange a marriage for him.

Zheng Yuhua had long suspected that Lu Chenzhou had designs on her.

But who wouldn't like Jiajia?

She said, "Jiajia is still young, there's no rush. We should at least wait until Jiamin gets married." She also reminded Lu Chenzhou to be careful.

Lu Chenzhou decided to skip this step, since free love doesn't require a matchmaker.

Zheng Yuhua smiled and said, "I'll go there after the first month of the lunar calendar."

Lu Chenzhou had no choice but to wait.

In the days that followed, Lu Chenzhou visited the Yu family even more frequently, but Yu Jiajia was never alone. Unless she came out to find him, he really found it difficult to be alone with her. So, apart from kissing her four times on the fifteenth of the twelfth lunar month, he didn't even touch her hand for a while afterward.
