Chapter 25 Only You
Lu Yuxiu looked at the nervous little girl, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried his best to calm the troubles in his heart.
When I opened my eyes again, they were clear, as if the previous darkness had never existed.
He raised his hand and touched the little girl's red ears.
Lin Xia was feeling very nervous when she felt her ear being touched. She opened her eyes and saw the man's hand still on her ear.
Suddenly I felt as if my ears were numb and I lost consciousness.
Lin Xia saw that what she imagined did not happen, and for some reason she felt a little disappointed, but she secretly complained in her heart: Lin Xia, Lin Xia, you actually have this day! Damn it! I was teased by this man again!
Seeing the annoyed look on the little girl's face, Lu Yuxiu's eyes flashed with a smile, and he slightly looked away so that she wouldn't notice.
Seeing that she seemed to be annoyed by what happened before, Lu Yuxiu raised his wrist to look at his watch and said in a steady voice: "It's three o'clock, shall I take you home?"
When Lin Xia heard this, she couldn't believe that time had passed so quickly. She leaned over and looked at his watch in surprise.
Lu Yuxiu looked at the head in front of him, paused, and did not warn her. Instead, he lowered his wrist and stretched it in front of her.
Lin Xia saw the watch stretched out in front of her. The distance between them was only a fist's width. She crossed her hands behind her back uncomfortably, feeling shy.
Suddenly, Lin Xia touched the watch on her wrist and froze for a moment. After a few seconds, she remembered that she seemed to have a watch as well. She straightened up uncomfortably and nodded.
Lin Xia recalled what she had just done and laughed, "Well...well, I should go back too."
Lin Xia appeared to have regained her composure and walked out the door, but her messy steps revealed her chaotic emotions.
Lu Yuxiu looked at the girl going away, unaware that the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and quickly followed her.
The two of them left the yard. Lin Xia looked at the street where the bus would pass. Lu Yuxiu looked like he was going to take her home. She said softly, "You should go back soon. I can take the bus by myself."
"I want to send it."
Lin Xia's heart, which had just calmed down, was stirred again.
She felt like she was no match for this man. Why was she always being teased by him? Did this man really never have a girlfriend?
"Only you." The man's magnetic voice came into his ears.
Lin Xia was startled, and then she realized that what she had been thinking in her mind had been spoken out unconsciously.
"Then why are you so..." Lin Xia came to his senses halfway through his words. It's probably difficult to be fickle and have many girlfriends in this era, not to mention that men's jobs probably make it difficult for them to have the time.
Lin Xia felt that she was a little careless and almost asked an inappropriate question, but fortunately she stopped herself.
Even without verifying it with her own eyes, she believed that what he said was true.
"Yeah." Lin Xia nodded and answered softly.
Seeing that she was only halfway through her words, Lu Yuxiu did not continue to ask. As long as she believed him, that was enough.
The two stood together waiting for the bus and no longer talked, but the shy and awkward atmosphere gradually disappeared.
......
Lu Yuxiu sent Lin Xia to the door, and the two agreed to meet tomorrow and then parted ways.
As soon as Lin Xia entered the room, she saw that only her second sister-in-law was sitting in the living room sewing clothes; no one else had returned.
When Wu Fangfang saw her sister-in-law come back, she was a little curious and wanted to ask something, but she saw that she must be tired after going out early in the morning, so she gave up, thinking that her sister-in-law would definitely tell her in the evening.
Lin Xia was indeed a little tired. Her heart was tired from beating so hard all day. She smiled, said hello to her second sister-in-law, and went back to her room.
It was not until all the Lin family members came back and the sound of cooking could be heard in the kitchen that Lin Xia gradually woke up.
I got up and went out and saw that the whole family was there. Lin's mother and sister-in-law were busy in the kitchen, and it seemed that the meal was almost ready.
Seeing Lin Xia leave the room, everyone resumed their normal voices. Hu Zi saw that his aunt had woken up, and excitedly ran over to tell her: "Aunt is awake! It's time to eat!"
When Lin Xia heard this, she thought everyone was waiting for her to eat, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Wu Fangfang saw it and immediately introduced: "The meal is not ready yet!"
Lin Xia got up and went to the kitchen. Hu Zi saw his aunt coming to the kitchen and immediately rushed over to hug her, but unfortunately he was not tall enough and could only hug her legs.
Lin Xia touched Hu Zi's little head, which was furry and felt very nice. She saw her sister-in-law was cooking the last dish, which was the spicy and sour potato shreds that she had learned before.
Mother Lin saw her daughter wake up and smiled happily: "Wake up, the meal will be ready soon!"
When Wang Yanmei saw that the pot was ready, she immediately said, "It's ready, it's time to serve the dishes."
Lin Xia held the dishes in one hand and held Xiaohuzi's hand in the other, then turned around and went out to the living room.
When Lin's mother saw the ground in her daughter's hand, she looked up and met her daughter-in-law's eyes, and the surprise in their eyes met.
Mother Lin thought for a moment. Her daughter went out this morning without a watch, but when she came back she was wearing a watch. The style of the watch must have been expensive, and she was certain that it was bought by Lu Yuxiu.
Wang Yanmei realized that her mother-in-law might be thinking the same thing as she was thinking, but she said, "I'll know if it's true after asking my younger sister."
The two put aside their doubts and went out together with the dishes.
When it was time to eat, before Lin's mother could even ask the question, her naive eldest son asked it.
"Little sister, what's this watch of yours?" Lin Jianguo was puzzled. This watch was not cheap. At that time, all domestic watches were men's watches. The one my little sister was wearing was obviously a women's watch. This kind of women's watch was only imported, and you had to have a watch ticket to buy it.
Father Lin was the only one in the family who had a watch, and he had queued up the night before to get a watch ticket. It was not easy to buy a watch.
Following these words, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Xia's wrist.
When Lin Xia heard this, she felt as if she heard the man talking about betrothal gift again. Her face flushed and after a while she replied, "He bought it." But she omitted the word "betrothal gift".
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. This was a big gift. They knew that the Lu family was well off, but they didn't expect them to be so generous. Most people would give expensive gifts at the time of marriage. Although they had already met the parents and it was almost settled, they were not married after all.
Seeing that it was as she had guessed, Lin's mother asked, "What did he say?"
Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to know what happened.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lin Xia felt inexplicably nervous. She suppressed her shyness and answered in a low voice, "He said it was a betrothal gift." After that, she lowered her head to eat. It felt weird to have the whole family watching her fall in love.
Hearing this answer, everyone was surprised, but happy at the same time.
"We have an appointment to go out tomorrow." Lin Xia suddenly thought of tomorrow's schedule and told the Lin family.
When everyone heard this, no one said anything, as if it was natural, but there was a look of good-natured joking on their faces.
Seeing that her daughter and Comrade Lu were getting along better and better, Lin's mother wished that they could spend more time together. A couple with affection for each other would have a better and better life.
She and Lin's father were introduced to each other by someone, and they have never had a quarrel in all these years. That's because they were attracted to each other and gradually developed feelings for each other.
After the meal, Lin's mother and Lin Xia were busy in the kitchen. Wang Yanmei noticed that her mother-in-law wanted to talk to her sister-in-law, so she pretended to take care of her son and left the space for the mother and daughter.
Mother Lin looked at her busy daughter and asked softly, "How is his grandmother treating you?"
