Chapter 311 Zeng Xiaoqin x Lu Chen (2)
Xiao Zhang has eaten several meals of cold-boiled pig ears, and his hearing is almost developed.
As soon as he heard reporter Zeng's voice, his ears pricked up.
Any news related to Lu Chen must be reported to Chief of Staff Lu as soon as possible.
Lu Chen has been looking majestic and radiant these days.
He looked at the weather forecast and found that the snow and wind would stop in about two or three days. By then, he could use some of his vacation time to send Old Lady Feng back to Beijing.
The old lady has difficulty walking and has come a long way, so someone must take her back.
Even if they were at the Beijing Garment Factory, Xia Jun and Song Xiaotian would return to the city together, but they would not be able to be taken care of well by their own people after all.
He has prepared everything.
Malted milk, soft cakes, and candied red dates bought from local farmers as snacks.
He even secretly sought advice from his sister-in-law, and his skill in making milk tea improved a lot.
Just waiting to perform!
However, he waited and waited, but Zeng Xiaoqin never delivered the finished clothes to him.
Xiao Zhang said that the clothes were indigo blue, a dark color that was resistant to staining. It was obvious that Xiaoqin had thought it over carefully and knew that she had heavy training every day and it was easy for the clothes to get dirty.
That’s such a thoughtful thought.
But he had to wear military uniform during training and missions and could not wear his regular clothes casually.
Even if Xiaoqin gave him the clothes, he couldn't wear them every day, especially not in front of others.
At most, I would wear it in my dorm room to satisfy my curiosity...
We waited until the wind and snow stopped, until everyone's luggage was loaded onto the jeep, and we were ready to leave for the train station early the next morning, but Xiaoqin still hadn't been sent out.
The news that he would go to Beijing with us had not been revealed yet, as we wanted to give people a surprise.
He was afraid that if he continued like this, he would lose his patience.
In fact, he really couldn't keep his cool.
He and Feng Shuo moved the luggage together.
Feng Shuo closed the car door and helped Old Lady Feng to go see the babies again.
Lu Chen hesitated for a long time, but finally knocked on Zeng Xiaoqin's door.
"Xiaoqin, you're leaving tomorrow, aren't you going to pay attention to me?"
Lu Chen stood by the door, speaking softly through the crack, his tone sounding extremely aggrieved.
Zeng Xiaoqin in the room had actually stopped being angry a long time ago.
At first, she was a little annoyed with Lu Chen, thinking that this guy only reported good news and not bad news. Could she really be relied upon in the future? How much did she hold in his heart? Was she the first one?
In the past, she thought that being in a relationship was troublesome and that being alone and free was so much fun. She could not imagine that one day she would suddenly be worried about someone else and did not understand how suffocating that would be.
Now I know that this bond is natural. She is worried about Lu Chen, and Lu Chen only reports good news and not bad news because he is worried and concerned about her!
In particular, her sister-in-law only asked her one question: "If one day, your interview mission is also full of danger, will you tell Lu Chen?"
Zeng Xiaoqin blurted out without thinking, "Of course not. Why should he worry about it? He can't do anything!"
After he finished speaking, Zeng Xiaoqin finally understood.
Love is mutual, and understanding is also mutual.
However, she has always been mean to Lu Chen and can't find a way out!
"Xiaoqin..."
Lu Chen knocked on the door again, raising his voice.
Zeng Xiaoqin put down the pen and paper in her hand, opened the door, and pulled the person in.
With a bang, he slammed the door.
She immediately let go, blushing, and muttered, "What are you yelling about? You're just waiting for everyone to come and see it."
Lu Chen hadn't been alone with Zeng Xiaoqin for a long time. Staring at her rosy lips, his throat tightened and his Adam's apple couldn't help but move.
"...I just want to talk to you."
He spoke, but his eyes were glancing around.
——If that blue dress was really made for me, it definitely wouldn't have been packed into my luggage. It should still be hanging there...
“Still hanging!!!”
A flash of indigo flashed across Lu Chen's eyes, and his heart suddenly began to beat wildly. He cried out in surprise and hugged Zeng Xiaoqin tightly, his words incoherent with excitement: "Xiaoqin! My Xiaoqin! I promise that I will never hide anything from you in the future! I will tell you everything, no matter whether it is good or bad, and I will never do anything unnecessary under the banner of doing good for you. I, I... I actually applied for leave and will take you and grandma back to Beijing tomorrow. The team leader has no more leave for home visits, but I still have! I can take you back..."
"Wait, wait a minute..."
Zeng Xiaoqin was almost unable to breathe because of his hug.
She had hugged him many times before, but never as hard as she did at this moment. She felt like her bones were about to break!
I really underestimated this guy before!
He has a fair and clean face that never gets tanned, but he is still a soldier at heart!
A man of steel and iron!
"Lu Chen, are you trying to hug me to death? I'm almost suffocating." Zeng Xiaoqin stomped her feet in anger.
Lu Chen finally woke up from his dream and let her go.
But he still had a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Zeng Xiaoqin was a little confused. She originally wanted to apologize, but she didn't know why Lu Chen suddenly changed his attitude. He became so humble and admitted that he had taken leave and would personally send her back to Beijing.
I am definitely happy.
But Zeng Xiaoqin's years of professionalism as a journalist made her unable to help but ask questions, wanting to know how he figured it out.
Especially the sentence "still hanging", what does it mean?
She asked.
Lu Chen blinked and looked behind her, the light in his eyes could not be hidden.
Zeng Xiaoqin turned around as well.
…
In the main room.
As usual, Mrs. Feng told the babies stories to put them to sleep and then prepared to go back to her room to rest.
She just reached the door and stopped again.
Several other people also stopped.
Feng Shuo and Zhu Yunying each held one of the old lady's arms, and Xiao Zhang also came to join in the fun.
After a few minutes, the door of Zeng Xiaoqin's cabin opened.
Lu Chen came out dejectedly, his steps heavy and dragging as he walked outside.
When passing by a few people, he looked up and all the stars in his eyes disappeared.
Watching the man leave the yard, Xiao Zhang scratched his head and said, "Strange! Reporter Zeng made new clothes for Brother Lu, so why isn't he happy? I told him that if a woman makes clothes for a man, the man must act especially happy. Could he be disgusted?"
Zhu Yunying couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She turned around and asked, "Who told you that Xiaoqin made clothes for Lu Chen? She just borrowed Lu Chen's size to make clothes for the editor-in-chief of Xiaoqin's newspaper. You, my sharp ears, must have heard the information wrong."
"Huh?!!!" Xiao Zhang was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs and feet went limp, and he was extremely anxious. "It's over! I still ate all those cold-mixed pig ears from Brother Lu...oh no, Chief of Staff Lu. Could it be that my ears will be the next to be eaten?"
Everyone laughed.
The next morning, Zeng Xiaoqin walked out of the cabin with her head hung low and listless.
As soon as she arrived in the yard, she saw Zhu Yunying waiting for her with two bags.
"sister in law……"
"Here, take it. One for you and one for Lu Chen. They're made in the same style. You can wear them on the road so you don't have to worry about losing them."
Zhu Yunwei handed over the clothes.
Zeng Xiaoqin took the clothes, tears welling up in her eyes. She lowered her head and tears quickly fell on the new clothes.
"Sister-in-law, am I not suitable for dating? I was so busy getting angry with him that I forgot he also had expectations. He was really happy yesterday, thinking the clothes were made for him. But then... he definitely won't pay attention to me anymore. He won't come to accompany me back to Beijing today..."
Zhu Yunying patted her shoulder and smiled faintly: "If he really doesn't come, it means that this fate is not as good as a piece of clothing. But if he comes, giving him clothes is better than coming empty-handed."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Zeng Xiaoqin didn't dare to ask when her sister-in-law started preparing these two clothes!
But her sister-in-law always has the plan in hand, so it's always a good idea to listen to her.
Zeng Xiaoqin changed into new clothes, took the clothes she wanted to give to Lu Chen, walked outside the courtyard, and waited patiently.
It was just a short while after daybreak when a group of people doing morning exercises passed by and saw Lu Chen walking towards them carrying two large bags of things.
When the two met, their eyes were red.
Lu Chen put the snacks in the car, his voice a little hoarse: "I prepared some food for the old lady to eat on the way."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and sighed as he spoke.
Zeng Xiaoqin put her clothes behind her back, feeling a little nervous: "You... aren't going back with us?"
"..." Lu Chen paused after hearing the voice, frowned and looked up, "Don't you want me to accompany you?"
"When did I say that? If I didn't want you to accompany me, why would I wait for you so early..." Zeng Xiaoqin pursed her lips and muttered.
Before she finished speaking, she heard Lu Chen seemed to be relieved, and then tried to grab her hand and stuff something into her.
"What?!"
"These are all the cloth coupons I have! I was a bit rushed in one night, so I found a few people who had been to Jingshi and exchanged some with them. I lost my temper yesterday. I shouldn't always expect you to send me clothes. I should take the initiative to buy clothes for me. When we get to Jingshi, we can go to the state-owned department store together..."
Lu Chen spoke haltingly and nervously, but he stopped talking halfway.
A brown color appeared in front of his eyes. It was the same jacket as Zeng Xiaoqin's. There was a dazzling red star embroidered on the chest, which looked very energetic.
"Is this... for me?" Lu Chen's voice was shaking.
Zeng Xiaoqin hummed: "Do you want to wear it? If not, I will..."
"Put it on! Of course I have to! I'll put it on now."
Lu Chen quickly took off his coat and put on his clothes.
Looking again, they were wearing the same clothes, and had the same uncontrollable smiles on their faces.
Lu Chen tentatively opened his arms, and Zeng Xiaoqin, holding a handful of cloth coupons, threw herself into his arms.
