The night was long and Lu Zhan had a strange dream while sleeping.
In his dream, he finished his long overseas assignment and rushed back home exhausted.
Seeing the familiar wooden door of his home courtyard, he couldn't hide his excitement and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Soon, a clear and pleasant voice was heard from inside asking:
"Who is it?"
Just these two words made Lu Zhan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth:
"It's me!"
With a creaky sound, the door opened.
Shao Jingque, whom he had not seen for a long time, was standing at the door in her pretty appearance. She looked exactly the same as he remembered, with rosy cheeks, almond eyes, and a cherry mouth that was naturally red.
However, at this moment, the little face that he had been thinking about day and night was looking at him with a puzzled expression:
"Who are you looking for?"
Lu Zhan was stunned for a moment, thinking Shao Jingque was joking with him. He put the bag on the ground and said with a smile:
"What? You went out on a mission and you didn't recognize me when you came back?"
As he spoke, he took out a bunch of wild flowers from his luggage bag and handed it to Shao Jingque with a smile:
"Don't you like flowers? I picked some for you on the way back!"
But Shao Jingque didn't reach out his hand. Instead, he looked at him warily, and his voice no longer had the joy it had just had:
"Who the hell are you? I don't know you. If you don't tell me who you're looking for, I'll close the shop!"
Lu Zhan's hand holding the flowers froze in mid-air. Looking at Shao Jingque's serious expression in front of him, who didn't seem to be joking, he suddenly felt a little panicked.
Although this mission was quite long, it shouldn't be so long that we couldn't recognize him, right?
Lu Zhan subconsciously touched his cheek, wondering if it was because he had not cleaned off the combat camouflage thoroughly that Shao Jingque did not recognize him. But now his face was clean and there was nothing on it.
His smile was a little stiff:
"Jing Que, stop joking, it's me, Lu Zhan!"
Shao Jingque frowned, and looked him up and down with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Just when Lu Zhan thought he recognized him, he heard her say crisply:
"Lu Zhan? I don't know him!"
She was about to close the door when Lu Zhan quickly reached out to stop her:
"What are you doing, wife? Are you angry because I haven't been home for too long?"
Shao Jingque's eyes widened, and he immediately said angrily:
"Who is your wife? Don't open your mouth and yell nonsense. Are you ruining your reputation?! Let go quickly. If you don't let go, I'll shout that someone is a hooligan!"
Lu Zhan was both angry and anxious. Could it be that Shao Jingque had really forgotten about him?
"I'm your husband Lu Zhan! Have you really forgotten me?!"
Shao Jingque sneered and shook his hand away:
"I don't remember! I'm telling you, my husband's last name is Qi, Qi Shengzhi!"
"Bang!"
A loud sound of a door closing woke Lu Zhan from his sleep.
In the dream, Shao Jingque slammed the door mercilessly and locked him outside.
Lu Zhan woke up from his dream with a look of shock and anger, his forehead covered with sweat.
He immediately looked towards the wall subconsciously, and his heart suddenly tightened again -
The simple bed by the wall was dismantled again, and Shao Jingque disappeared without a trace.
It was just dawn. Where had she gone so early?
Lu Zhan frowned unconsciously. He had unknowingly become accustomed to Shao Jingque's presence. The first thing he did after waking up was to look for her. This discovery made Lu Zhan somewhat uncomfortable.
Also, what about that dream just now?
In his dream, he actually thought that Shao Jingque was his wife, but Shao Jingque didn't know whether it was to take revenge on him, but she insisted that her husband was... who was it?
Lu Zhan rubbed his short hair in front of his forehead in annoyance.
He couldn't remember who Shao Jingque was talking about in his dream, he just vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a three-character name, which was difficult to pronounce and unpleasant to the ear.
At this moment, the nurse on rounds came in and took the initiative to say to Lu Zhan:
"You two got up early today. As soon as I came out of the nurse's station, I saw the stool and quilt were neatly placed at the door. Can you tell Jingque that you don't have to borrow and return them every day? You can just return them together when you are discharged. We know each other so well, how can you not trust her?"
After listening to this, Lu Zhan nodded and said okay.
The nurse checked all the indicators and took his blood test. Before leaving, she reminded him:
"Jing Que is not here right now. Remember to remind her to go to the laboratory to get the report before 3 pm."
Lu Zhan frowned slightly, thinking, shouldn't the job of getting the reports be done by the nurses?
Why does it seem like it has become Shao Jingque’s business now?
He didn't realize that he had begun to subconsciously protect Shao Jingque.
Seeing that Lu Zhan didn't answer, the nurse turned her face away with a grim expression, pretending not to hear. She couldn't help but secretly complain about Captain Lu's weird temper.
It's hard for Jingque to take care of him every day. I don't know how much anger she has suffered during this period. Fortunately, she can just check the room and leave without having to keep looking at his face.
The nurse turned around to leave and took the completed registration book from the bedside table, accidentally knocking something to the ground.
She looked closely and found that it was a household registration book.
She immediately glanced at Lu Zhan nervously, and found that he had not turned around to look at her. Worried that he would blame her, she quickly picked up the household registration book and stuffed it into the drawer. She couldn't help but complain in her heart, why put such an important thing on the table instead of putting it in the drawer?
Lu Zhan heard two sounds of drawers being pulled behind his ears, but he thought it was just a nurse taking out the medical records and didn't take it seriously.
He wondered if Shao Jingque had gone to the kitchen to make him some nourishing soup again, but he was too embarrassed to ask the nurse to check on him, lest anyone misunderstand how much he depended on her.
He could only lie on the bed alone with an expressionless face. Although he seemed calm, his heart was actually in turmoil. He never felt boring when being alone before, but today he stared at the wall clock without blinking. Every time the second hand moved around, it seemed like a long time had passed.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Lu Zhan's eyes lit up, and then he remembered that Shao Jingque didn't knock when he entered the house. The light in his eyes dimmed again, and he calmed down and said:
"Come in."
The door opened, and the person who came in was indeed not Shao Jingque, but an unfamiliar old man, holding a few exceptionally gorgeous wintersweet flowers in his hand.
Lu Zhan looked puzzled and asked:
"Sir, who are you looking for?"
Old Liu looked at Lu Zhan, who was still handsome and energetic lying on the hospital bed, and nodded secretly in his heart.
He was saying, what kind of person would be worthy of a girl as beautiful and virtuous as Xiao Shao?
After meeting her family today, I finally understood what "a perfect match" means!
Old Liu smiled and replied warmly:
"You must be Xiao Shao's relative, right? Didn't she return to Ning City early this morning? She specifically asked me to bring the flowers over to you!"
"Look, are they blooming well? These flowers will bloom for a week without any problem. I specially selected the best and most fragrant ones for Xiao Shao!"
"I'll come change the water for the flowers in a couple of days. If you need any help, just let me know. Don't hesitate!"
