Chapter 316: The tough guy smells really good! (Two chapters in one)
On the day Lu Youyou left, all the members of the Song family went to the airport to see her off.
Others were fine, they just reminded her to take care of herself and stay safe, but Song Yunqing was the only one who hugged her arm with red eyes, she even shed tears twice.
"Sister-in-law, you must miss me when you go back. Call me when you have time. If it's not convenient, you can send me a letter, but the letter must be longer..."
With the current postal efficiency, it takes months to send a letter from China to the United States. In a year, only a few letters will be received, so the time can't be too long.
Lu Youyou's shoulders were half wet from her tears. She couldn't help laughing and said, "How about you come back with me? Didn't you say before that you wanted to eat roast duck? You even complained that the ones in Chinatown were not authentic."
You know what, Song Yunqing was actually quite tempted.
She hadn’t had enough fun the last time she went to Beijing. With her cousin and his wife here, she didn’t have to worry about being alone. What’s more, she knew Chinese, so she wasn’t afraid to go out alone.
But impulse is impulse after all, and she finally remembered that the vacation was about to end and she really had no time to run around.
"Hey, wait until my next holiday, I'll go to the capital to find you next time!"
Song Huanian looked at the two younger generations happily. Even though Lu Youyou had been married for several years, she was still a little girl in his eyes.
Of course he was happy to see his granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law getting along so well. If he hadn't been ill some time ago, he might have been tempted to return home again.
"Youyou, you must take care of your health when you go back. Don't stay up late just because you are young. Also tell Qingye to be safe."
"Grandpa, I know."
Song Huanian added: "If the ancestral house in China is empty, go and have a look. By the way, I have prepared a courtyard for you and Qingye in the capital. Someone will hand it over to you when you return."
Lu Youyou didn't expect that the old man had prepared such a big gift before leaving.
The regulations on private real estate transactions in the country have just been introduced, but the Song family has just invested a large sum of money in the country, so they can do this with just a wave of their hand.
Because the house the old man had his eyes on was not an ordinary house, and he had just completed the formalities not long ago. He knew that Gu Qingye was very busy and might not have even gone to get the keys, so he asked Lu Youyou to be careful.
What Lu Youyou didn’t know was that the old man had prepared more gifts than just these.
He had already changed his will, and his personal property had been divided into three parts instead of two, with the part belonging to Song Jinshu being inherited by Gu Qingye.
The old man held Lu Youyou's hand and didn't let go until they reached the security checkpoint.
"Good boy, call grandpa when you have time. I will go to Beijing to see you when I am well again."
The last section of the road was occupied by Lu Youyou's two hands. The old man and the young man were talking to each other. Song Shaoqing didn't even get a chance to speak and could only follow behind as a bag-carrying boy.
Finally, when Lu Youyou passed the security check, Song Shaoqing waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, have a safe trip!"
"Take care, everyone!"
It was still the same flight that came here, flying from San Francisco to Beijing via Shanghai. When we came here, the team of dozens of people occupied half of the cabin, but when we went back, there was only Lu Youyou.
She thought she would not feel much homesickness or excitement about returning home, but when the cold wind of early spring in the capital city mixed with the familiar dryness and coldness blew in her face, she had a vague illusion of warmth.
She went home. After two years, she finally returned to the place where she felt at ease.
An inexplicable excitement pushed her to walk out. When Gu Qingye appeared in her sight, she almost subconsciously ran over and threw herself into his arms.
Gu Qingye was not wearing a military uniform, so there were not so many taboos. He picked up Lu Youyou, who was much taller than him.
Lu Youyou held his face, looked down at him, and stuck close to him the next second.
Such unrestrained hugs were rarely seen in China in the 1980s. Passersby couldn't help but stop to watch, but neither of them cared.
Having met her once in the United States, it did not ease his longing at all. Instead, it made him miss her more than if they had never met.
After returning to China, he was busy preparing the army and conducting exercises. The situation in the south was becoming increasingly unstable, but whenever he had some free time, every inch of his heart was filled with Lu Youyou.
Now that his sweetheart has finally returned and is in his arms at this moment, Gu Qingye feels that hugging her for five minutes is not enough.
"Well, if we keep going like this we're going to be surrounded."
There was a glistening light in the corners of Lu Youyou's eyes, and her breath was very disordered. Even without looking up, she knew that more and more eyes were staring at her.
Gu Qingye calmed his overly fast heartbeat and whispered softly in her ear: "Let's go home."
Both of them had a lot to say, but apart from the constant glances at each other and a pair of hands clasped together, they didn't say a few words along the way.
However, the moment I walked into the house, I couldn't stop.
The luggage was scattered at the door and no one paid attention to it. Lu Youyou was picked up by the waist and her breath was snatched away once again.
Gu Qingye knew that she liked cleanliness, so he carried her directly into the bathroom. It was an hour later when she came out.
Since entering the house, Lu Youyou hardly took a single step, from the bathroom to the room, and never came out again.
She slept very deeply this time, and was groggy for a while when she opened her eyes again.
The muscles under her palms were firm and elastic, and her slender fingertips gently stroked the well-defined abdominal muscles and landed on her favorite place.
"Why didn't you go to work?"
The sticky voice made the person next to her hug her tighter.
"Take a break today, silly."
Gu Qingye smiled and held her hand, bringing it to his lips and touching it gently. He knew that she was in a daze and probably didn't even know what day it was.
“Hmm…”
Lu Youyou hummed and found a more comfortable position in his arms. She had slept for more than ten hours, but she was still dizzy and didn't want to move.
Gu Qingye was also reluctant to let her go. The longing for her for more than seven hundred days could not be soothed in one night. But now it was already past noon, and he was even more reluctant to let Lu Youyou go hungry.
"Would you like to sleep a little longer? I'll go make dinner. What do you want to eat?"
Lu Youyou tried hard to pull her wandering thoughts back a little. She had never treated herself badly in terms of food and drink when she was abroad, but when she was suddenly asked what she wanted to eat...
"Sweet and sour spare ribs, braised pork with preserved vegetables, pickled pork with preserved vegetables, vermicelli shrimp in garlic sauce..."
Listening to the long list of dishes, the smile in Gu Qingye's eyes became more and more intense.
This was the last meal he cooked for Lu Youyou before she left. He didn't expect that she still remembered it after two years.
The action of reading out the dishes suddenly stopped, but after a moment it turned into sobbing, and the person who said he was going to cook was immersed in it again.
Lu Youyou had originally gotten enough sleep, and after the commotion she soon fell into a deep sleep again.
Finally, she got to eat what she wanted, but her arms were so weak that she couldn't even hold the chopsticks.
Gu Qingye took it naturally and held the person on his lap.
Lu Youyou also followed him and leaned against him comfortably.
Gu Qingye peeled a shrimp and fed it to her: "Mom and Dad said they'll be over for dinner tomorrow night."
Lu Youyou was just about to ask why tomorrow, because in the past, whenever she came back from a long trip, her parents would be the first to welcome her.
Soon she realized something.
With her current appearance and her hands unable to hold dishes and chopsticks, she will have to wait until tomorrow before she can see anyone!
Gu Qingye accepted Lu Youyou's reproachful look and was very grateful for his father-in-law and mother-in-law's thoughtfulness.
Gu Qingye pecked Yinghong lightly who was nearby and fed her another shrimp.
"We still have a whole day..."
Lu Youyou couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder. What do you mean the whole day?
It's almost evening now, does that mean you're prepared to work hard until this time tomorrow?
Gu Qingye always keeps his word. In the following time, Lu Youyou truly experienced what it means to be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an ant trying to shake a tree.
When she went out in the evening the next day, Lu Youyou had no choice but to change into a high-necked inner wear. Fortunately, the weather was not hot, otherwise the mark on her neck could not be covered at all.
She changed her clothes and lifted her feet off the ground again. It seemed that Gu Qingye was going to carry her into the car.
"What? I can walk."
The moment she opened her mouth, she sounded like a coquettish person. Lu Youyou didn't want to do that, but there was nothing she could do. This was the tone of her voice the moment she opened her mouth.
"I want to hold you in my arms." Gu Qingye kissed her again, "Or maybe you can carry me on your back?"
During these two days, as long as he was awake, he never left her side for more than one meter. He hugged her all the time and kissed her many times a minute.
The 188cm tall tough guy with an angular face and eight-pack abs was acting coquettishly, or maybe it couldn't be called acting coquettishly, he was just venting his thoughts, just a little bit unscrupulous.
The door of the Lu family on Beichizi Street was open. Lin Nanxing was standing at the door. When she saw the car coming, she finally couldn't help but tear up.
Without video calls, communication was inconvenient. She hadn't seen her daughter for two years. Even though she knew that Lu Youyou could take care of herself, she couldn't help but worry.
Now that his daughter was standing in front of him in one piece, the first thing Lin Nanxing thought of was the day when he heard about the accident that happened to Lu Youyou in New York.
Seeing that her mother was staring at her, Lu Youyou thought that the mark on her body was not covered, so she subconsciously wanted to pull her collar.
Although Lin Nanxing was not a conservative person and even gave her enough time to enjoy the reunion, she was not thick-skinned enough to show off the dots on her neck.
Lin Nanxing pulled his daughter into the house and habitually stretched out his hand to take her pulse, but Lu Youyou immediately retracted her arm.
If the patient is diagnosed with a thin and weak pulse, a slow pulse, a weak pulse at both feet, accompanied by sore waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, etc., commonly known as longitudinal valvular deficiency, then it is really...
My head is about to smoke just thinking about it.
Lin Nanxing didn't really want to check her pulse, it was mainly because his occupational disease had kicked in and he wanted to take her pulse after not seeing her for a long time.
Lu Zhiyu, who was standing by, couldn't grab the position of his wife, so he could only ask nervously:
"Youyou, I see you're not in good spirits. Maybe you didn't get enough rest? Why don't you just sleep at home tonight to avoid another trip."
If Gu Qingye hadn't been sitting on the single sofa on the other side, there would definitely be a pair of hands twisting his waist.
What could Lu Youyou say? She could only muster up the energy to respond to her old father's concern.
"It's okay, I just haven't adjusted to the time difference yet. I have to sort out some materials when I get home. I have to go to National Tsing Hua University tomorrow."
Lin Nanxing was well versed in the three diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. Even without taking his daughter's pulse, he could tell what was wrong with her, and he took over the conversation with a smile.
"I just made some Poria cocos calming soup. You guys can go back and rest early after dinner."
In front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Gu Qingye was a little more "restrained" than at home, but he took care of everything from skinning and deboning to picking up vegetables and serving soup, and Lu Youyou only had to eat it herself.
The smile on Lin Nanxing's face grew deeper and deeper. She was not worried about anything else but some unexpected changes that might arise during the two years of living apart.
No matter whether her daughter gets married or divorced, she is still her daughter, and her parents' love for her will not change. But if the relationship changes, she is worried that Lu Youyou will be hurt.
Fortunately, my daughter has a good eye. After observing for two years, she found that Gu Qingye is reliable.
The family dinner was finished with Lu Zhiyu's concern and Lin Nanxing's jokes, and the two of them packed a lot of delicious food for Lu Youyou to take home.
As soon as Lu Youyou entered the room, she collapsed on the sofa. Her stomach was too full, she felt dizzy, and her hands and feet were numb and becoming increasingly sore.
Gu Qingye squatted down to help her take off her shoes and coat, and then his hands fell on her belt as if he didn't notice anything.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Youyou held him down softly, her voice also soft. She really didn't have much strength, and she became even more lazy when she returned home.
"I've prepared the water for you, take a bath and go to bed early."
Lu Youyou hummed, but still lay there hugging the pillow, looking like she didn't want to move.
Gu Qingye bent down and kissed her, then whispered, "If you don't want to move, I'll help you wash it?"
Lu Youyou opened his eyes, struggled internally, and chose a quick decision between exercising early and going to bed early or exercising late and going to bed late.
She leaned over softly: "Then carry me over."
The sweetheart threw herself into Gu Qingye's arms, and he gladly accepted it. However, a quick victory was impossible, but he could restrain himself and confine the battlefield to the bathroom...
When Lu Youyou finally touched the pillow, he glanced at the clock on the bedside in a daze. He had been taking a bath for two hours. It turned out that a quick victory would not even appear in his dreams.
The 15-hour time difference almost disappeared due to Gu Qingye's unremitting efforts. When Lu Youyou woke up again, except for a sore waist, her mind had returned to the East 8th District.
As I walked into the yard, I smelled the aroma of fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, which seemed to be the smell from the shop at the entrance of the alley.
"Are you awake? I bought your favorite salty tofu pudding, and I also picked the tender fried dough sticks."
Gu Qingye came out of the restaurant and saw Lu Youyou wearing only a thin home clothes. He walked over and held her hand.
"The temperature is low in the morning, be careful not to catch a cold."
“Hmm…” Lu Youyou buried her head in his arms, leaning against him and slowly waking up from her sleep.
Gu Qingye folded his arms and kissed her hair: "Still want to sleep?"
"I'm not sleeping anymore. I'm just too lazy to move."
Lu Youyou's shaking head made her neck itchy. Gu Qingye held back his laughter and let her whimper and act coquettishly.
He didn't expect that being apart for two years would have such benefits. Lu Youyou seemed to be more delicate and softer, and he really liked her very much.
He was willing to be her hands and feet, even if they grew on his body, as long as she liked.
Lu Youyou was about to get up after hesitating for a while, but the feeling of weightlessness came over him again.
She habitually put one arm around Gu Qingye's neck, leaned on his shoulder and looked up at him.
"You like me being a humanoid pendant so much?"
"Yeah, I like it."
Lu Youyou used her other free hand to draw on his chest. After two days of continuous exercise, she could even give him a princess hug with one hand. This macho guy is really attractive!
