Chapter 90 You know what I want to say, don't you?
The lunch between the two of them wasn't as warm and cozy as the night before. They were unusually silent, and when they occasionally glanced at each other, their faces would turn red for a long time.
Zhou Congsheng finished his meal in silence, washed the dishes in silence, and then returned to the west room. Shen Yuzhu belatedly realized that Zhou Congsheng probably thought she was disgusted by him, so even though he blushed, his eyes were full of disappointment.
Watching the steam rising from the coal stove, she took a teacup, poured some water into it, then thought for a moment and poured it outside. She went back inside, grabbed something, put it in the teacup, and poured in hot water again.
Zhou Congsheng sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), squinting, tilting his head slightly back, and clasping his hands behind his back on the mat.
His slightly furrowed brows hinted at the turmoil in his heart, and he didn't care that his fingernails were digging into the mat, slowly drawing blood.
A mournful cry emanated from his chest, but his eyes were dry, and he couldn't cry, yet he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Yuzhu, Shen Yuzhu, Shen Yuzhu!
Don't hate me, I just... couldn't control myself.
"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock..."
"Zhou Congsheng, am I coming in?"
Zhou Congsheng was stunned for a moment. Before he could stand up, he saw Shen Yuzhu coming over with a teacup. He didn't dare to move and kept his gaze fixed on her face, not daring to look away for even a moment.
"I...I want to give it to you..."
Before he could explain, Shen Yuzhu's expression changed drastically. She grabbed his hand and asked anxiously, "What happened to you? How did you hurt your hand?"
"What?"
How did you hurt your hand?
Zhou Congsheng's eyes flickered for a moment, and he tried to pull his hand away, but then, as if remembering something, he held his hand out to Shen Yuzhu again, "I didn't notice when I was sitting on the kang just now, and I bumped into the mat, didn't I?"
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
You'll see if I believe you or not!
"Zhou Congsheng, did you dream about me last night, that's why...?"
"I didn't mean to, Zhuzhu. I don't know why I had that dream. I couldn't control myself. I told myself in the dream that Zhuzhu didn't like it, but she wouldn't listen to me and kept touching me. I couldn't control her. I wanted to wake up, but... I couldn't bear to."
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
I'm speechless. I didn't want to hear the details!
“Zhou Congsheng, I’m not angry. I’m your fiancée. If you have a dream like this, and you dream about someone else instead of me, I’ll have to teach you a lesson. Drink this, it’s good for your health. You haven’t seen me in a long time, and you’re still young and impetuous. At your age, cough cough cough… you should still be careful.”
As long as you don't get angry, it doesn't matter what you drink.
Zhou Congsheng took the teacup and gulped it down in one go.
After drinking it, I felt refreshed and my fatigue from the dream disappeared.
“I have medicine in my room. Come with me to disinfect it and apply some medicine. We’re not in the army now, not on a training mission, so be careful. Injuries in winter are hard to heal. You don’t know, Manxiu didn’t listen to advice and went to the river to wash clothes. She got several chilblains on her hands and applied a lot of hand cream, but they still haven’t gotten better.”
That's still considered good. The old lady in the village and her sister had cracks all over their hands, with flesh torn and bleeding, and their hands were red, itchy and painful at midday. They couldn't scratch them, and their whole bodies were itchy from the discomfort.
"good."
As if a major problem had been solved, Zhou Congsheng finally felt relieved, seeing how worried Shen Yuzhu was about him.
My heart felt as sweet as honey.
Shen Yuzhu took out iodine from the drawer, wiped him clean with a cotton cloth dipped in water, and then disinfected him little by little with iodine.
Zhou Congsheng was stunned by her focused expression.
"Don't get them wet again. There's nothing to do at home. Leave your clothes here, I'll wash them."
"No need, this little injury is nothing. You don't know what I was like in the army..."
Zhou Congsheng dared not speak. He watched as Shen Yuzhu's expression grew increasingly serious, then curled his lips and nodded slightly.
His personal clothes, such private items, Zhuzhu wants to wash them for him. Just thinking about it makes me so restless!
Shen Yuzhu frowned as she looked at him.
I never realized before, how could this person be so prone to imagination? What's their zodiac sign?
She has a washing machine in her online space, and she doesn't wash her own clothes, so why is he blushing like that?
"Ahem... You'll be staying here for quite a few days during the New Year. I have a few books here that you can read when you're bored."
"Um!"
After Zhou Congsheng agreed, he felt that what he said was a bit dry, so he continued, "Okay, I will definitely read these books carefully."
Shen Yuzhu: "......"
Why are you being so serious? It's not like I've been assigned a task.
"Let's go to my sister's house later. It wouldn't be right if I didn't see you when you came. I'll bring some things and tell you they're for the kids."
"Okay, Zhao Yue gave you two portions of Beijing Eight Delicacies, you can take one with you. They're all snacks and pastries, kids should like them."
Shen Yuzhu nodded, took the eight delicacies of Beijing, and added two cans of fermented bean curd and canned meat.
The two locked the door and headed towards Shen Yuming's house.
Halfway there, they saw Zhu Qiangying crying and talking to Lü Jianshe. The two of them glanced at her curiously, and their eyes met. She froze for a moment, and perhaps because she lost her footing, she fell into Lü Jianshe's arms. He reached out to steady her, but quickly withdrew his hand.
She looked at Shen Yuzhu with a somewhat timid expression, but her eyes couldn't hide her smugness.
Shen Yuzhu: "......"
Zhou Congsheng: "..."
So stiff, trying to cheat!
Shen Yuzhu didn't take it seriously and pulled Zhou Congsheng toward another path. When Lü Jianshe turned around, he saw them turn around, his gaze darkened, and he didn't say anything.
Zhou Congsheng curled his lips and, like a little white lotus, tugged at Shen Yuzhu's clothes.
“Those two seemed to have something going on just now. I think that woman did it on purpose. Aren’t you going to remind Comrade Lü?”
"What's there to remind them of? What if they're dating? How can I explain that? They might think I'm trying to sow discord!"
"That's true, then let's pretend we don't know."
Shen Yuzhu glanced at him sideways, sensing that there was something more to his words.
When they arrived at Shen Yuming's house, before they even opened the door, they heard voices coming from the yard. The voices were hushed and low. The two men exchanged a glance and then peeked through the crack in the door.
Zeng Hu was seen clasping his hands together, apologizing to Shen Yuming.
"I really didn't know. If I had known she had those feelings, I would have stayed far away long ago. Hey, that's not what I meant. You know what I wanted to say, Comrade Shen? I absolutely did not mean to humiliate you. If I, Old Zeng, had even the slightest bit of such bad thoughts, may my son be born without an anus."
Shen Yuming: "......"
Shen Yuzhu/Zhou Congsheng: "......."
That oath is way too cruel!
