Chapter 83 Chapter 83 With the gift, I don’t need my husband anymore…
"Wow! Lu Chongfeng!"
"Liang Xin, your hero is here!"
"This body of medals of honor is so dazzling that it blinds my eyes!"
"The golden light shines brightly, showing bravery and might!"
"I finally understand what it's like to have an aura that is the bravest among the three armies and invincible!"
Lu Chongfeng walked through the continuous praises and came in front of Liang Xin, the corners of his mouth were almost curled up to the back of his ears.
As expected, they are all college students.
Everyone spoke eloquently and made witty remarks.
Every word hits his heart!
Liang Xin: “….”
The moment Liang Xin saw him, her heartbeat stopped for a moment. By the time he deliberately slowed down his pace and listened to the compliments of his classmates and walked in front of her, the initial throbbing had almost disappeared.
Only a few funny things are left.
When Lu Chongfeng walked up to Liang Xin, he should have bent down, stretched out his hand, and invited Liang Xin to dance.
But when I saw Liang Xin up close, I saw her plump, white face wrapped in a dance dress beneath her delicate collarbone. Her cheeks had become a little more translucent due to her pregnancy, like a ripe peach, as if a slight pinch would squeeze out the pink and sweet peach juice.
Lu Chongfeng stood there in a trance for a long time.
Liang Xin's cheeks turned even redder due to his focused and burning gaze. She tried to stand up by holding onto the chair, but Lu Chongfeng reacted instantly and reached out to hold her.
Wang Daya and Xu Dafeng couldn't stop laughing.
They never smiled like this when they were dating or getting married.
Suddenly, applause broke out.
Liang Xin looked at the dance floor and saw all her classmates had smiles on their faces.
Lu Chongfeng supported Liang Xin and stepped into the dance floor amid applause. He lifted Liang Xin's hand and said to everyone, "Thank you, everyone! Don't be polite, let's dance together!"
All the students burst out laughing at once.
Liang Xin: “…”
The ballroom dance music started, and this was actually the first dance of the graduation party.
Group dance is just a fixed opening program for the dance party.
Lu Chongfeng and Liang Xin were the first couple to step onto the dance floor.
As the music started, the students grabbed the hands of the people they wanted to hold and slid onto the dance floor.
Liang Xin still remembers the pain of Lu Chongfeng constantly stepping on her feet when she was practicing dancing at home.
She was wearing flat black leather shoes with straps today and was prepared to be stepped on.
As a result, Lu Chongfeng suddenly turned around with a tiny step, and Liang Xin fell into his arms before she could react.
The dance floor was full of classmates.
Lu Chongfeng took the opportunity to hold her tightly for two seconds. The next step should have been to raise his hands and let his dance partner spin around twice in a row and then pull her back into his arms. However, Lu Chongfeng omitted this idea and carefully supported Liang Xin's back to help her stand steadily.
Liang Xin noticed that his spinning technique and power generation methods were completely different from before. "Did you practice secretly?"
"secretly?"
Lu Chongfeng stared at Liang Xin's little face, "I'm practicing openly!"
Liang Xin said slowly: "Who did you practice with?"
Lu Chongfeng raised his arms and said, "Just practice at home like this!"
Liang Xin imagined him spinning around with his arms raised, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Didn't you say you can't come back?"
Lu Chongfeng held Liang Xin's back to prevent other students from bumping into her. "The exercise has been completed. This time, only the Beijing Military Region and the Air Force were selected to participate in the exercise and the military parade. The military mainly transferred me there to participate in the exercise to increase my experience in coordinated operations among the various military services."
Liang Xin looked at the medals of honor on his body and asked, "Isn't this too high-profile?"
"Medals of honor are to be worn on important occasions." Lu Chongfeng lowered his head and whispered, "I have never worn all of them before. Your graduation ball is the most important occasion. This is the first time I have worn all of them."
Liang Xin couldn't help but curl her lips, "Let me test the results of your ballroom dance practice."
Lu Chongfeng was stunned at first, but Liang Xin had already stretched her neck and leaned back slightly, like an elegant white swan.
Lu Chongfeng immediately followed up with his left foot and turned his body to the left.
Originally, two people were still moving slowly on the dance floor. Wang Daya's eyes moved slightly to other places, and when she moved back, she found that Captain Lu and Liang Xin began to spin gracefully on the dance floor.
Captain Lu's green military uniform already stood out from the crowd, and the honors hanging all over his chest made him even more outstanding. Liang Xin's skin was whiter than her dance dress, flawless and dazzling like first snow. Her dance dress swayed and fluttered freely, and all eyes cast on the dance floor were focused on the two of them.
Gradually, even the students on the dance floor couldn't help but look at the two of them.
Lu Chongfeng raised his hand boldly, and Liang Xin spun around twice, her dance skirt blooming on her body. When Lu Chongfeng pulled her back into his arms again, Liang Xin straightened her left leg and looked into his eyes. Her emotions slowly flowed out as the beautiful melody sang.
The beauty of waltz lies in the resonance of rhythm and emotion.
Before the music ended, the applause broke out like thunder.
Lu Chongfeng helped Liang Xin up, and after making sure that everything was fine, he held her hand, waved to everyone, and walked back to his seat amid applause.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Xu Dafeng clapped her hands vigorously, "You two danced the best! Even the people on the dance floor were mesmerized by you!"
Liang Xin took Lu Chongfeng's handkerchief, adjusted her breathing, and looked at Lu Chongfeng, who was still savoring the moment, "Do you want to dance again?"
Lu Chongfeng waved his hand, "Too much is as bad as too little, that's enough, we can continue dancing when we have time when we get home."
Liang Xin chuckled, wiped the sweat off her face, and handed him the handkerchief, but he held her hand. "...What are you doing?"
"Tired?"
Lu Chongfeng helped Liang Xin up and said, "There shouldn't be anything to do next. Let's go back and rest first?"
Before Liang Xin could say anything, Wang Daya said, "We are here, you go and rest."
The graduation dance is a great opportunity to express one's feelings and take a closer step. Students who usually don't dare to express their true feelings will use the dance to invite their favorite person.
Liang Xin was pregnant and Lu Chongfeng was also here, so things like this had basically nothing to do with her.
Wang Daya and Xu Dafeng are enough to introduce, complete the pastries and close the stall.
Even if she stayed until the end, they would not let her help.
Liang Xin followed Lu Chongfeng to the locker room in the school auditorium.
Liang Xin changed out of her dance dress and put on a white maternity dress with purple floral patterns. It was a cool night, so she wore a plush cardigan of the same purple color on the outside. She pulled open the curtain and walked out of the dressing room, and was suddenly startled.
There was a tall and thin gay man standing outside.
The hem of his white shirt was tucked into his blue jeans. His black hair was casually pulled back, leaving a few strands hanging naturally over his thick eyebrows. A pair of black sunglasses were placed in the middle of his peak-like nose, covering his eyes but making his features appear more angular. His perfectly curved lips also became the focus of his entire face.
When Liang Xin took a closer look, she thought it was a male model from the cover of an internationally famous magazine walking down.
It's just like Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
The man looked at Liang Xin, who had become fresh and elegant, through his sunglasses. He walked over and propped one hand on the door frame of the dressing room. He lowered his head and raised the corners of his lips slightly. "I know a place with good food. Do you want to try it together?"
Liang Xin touched her belly and said, "My husband is a soldier."
“I see.”
The man came closer and sniffed the few strands of hair that fell from Liang Xin's bun when she changed clothes. "It's just eating something. It doesn't count as ruining a military marriage?"
Liang Xin squinted at him and asked, "Where are we going to eat?"
The man drove Liang Xin all the way to the Qinhuai River, and took Liang Xin on a cruise ship.
Although the Confucius Temple has been destroyed, the river bank still retains the blue brick and small tile horse-head walls, and the corridors with lattice windows, which exude an ancient charm.
The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival has just passed, and red lanterns are still hung on the houses on both sides of the river. The lights are swaying, the moon is dancing, and the water is sparkling.
There was a table in the cabin of the cruise ship with a round vegetable cover on it. The man lifted the cover and saw a small blue-rimmed bowl filled with plain noodles, a plate of dried tofu and amaranth, a plate of salted duck, a portion of braised lion head, and a plate of tofu with shrimp roe.
Liang Xin sat down in surprise, "It's still hot?"
"I'm inviting you to dinner, but of course I can't invite you to eat cold food." The man sat on the cabin seat, "How is it, is this place nice?"
Liang Xin: “…”
Liang Xin asked him to continue acting.
She is hungry.
I picked up the chopsticks and was about to scoop up the noodles, but the chopsticks were suddenly pulled away by a big hand.
The man picked up the bowl of noodles, rolled up a few noodles and wrapped them around the tip of his chopsticks, and fed them to Liang Xin's mouth, "Don't bite them off, eat them in one bite."
Liang Xin tilted her head, "Do we have to eat like this?"
"I was abrupt."
The man said this, but he stretched his chopsticks closer, "Open your mouth, ah."
Liang Xin: “….”
Liang Xin opened her mouth and took a bite of the noodles into her mouth and chewed them. "Very authentic Yangchun noodles. I'll do it myself."
Without giving the man a chance to refuse, Liang Xin took the chopsticks and bowl and started eating.
Liang Xin was halfway through her meal when she heard laughter from the other side:
"You look so cute when you eat."
Liang Xin raised her eyelids to look at him, and found that the boat was moving. She looked outside and saw that the boat was indeed moving on the river, towards the former site of the Confucius Temple. "Where are we going?"
"It's just a meal, don't be nervous."
"You're wearing sunglasses at night. Can you see clearly?"
"...Of course I can see it clearly."
"If you don't pick it down, I'll pick it for you.
The man glanced at the Qinhuai River, raised his hand and took off his sunglasses, revealing an even more eye-catching face. He moved closer to Liang Xin and rubbed his face against hers.
Liang Xin looked up hurriedly and remembered that this was not the Qinhuai River in later generations.
The site has not been rebuilt yet. Because the Qinhuai River was smelly in the early years, the people all lived with their backs to the river.
No one on either side of the strait is watching what they are doing.
Seeing that he had returned to normal, Liang Xin asked, "Why did you suddenly want to take a boat trip on the river so late at night?"
Lu Chongfeng sat next to Liang Xin and watched her eat. "The river has just been cleaned and reconstruction will begin soon. It's a rare opportunity, so let's take a walk first."
Liang Xin ate a bowl of noodles, a few pieces of salted duck and half a piece of lion's head meat, and was basically full, so she handed him the chopsticks.
"I ate on the train, so I'm not hungry for now."
Seeing that Liang Xin had finished eating, Lu Chongfeng helped her up and walked to a place near the deck to sit down. "Are you cold?"
"The night breeze is very comfortable."
Liang Xin listened to the sound of water and leaned against Lu Chongfeng's arms. Suddenly, she felt something rough under her hand. She looked down and saw that it was jeans. Then she remembered that he had changed into casual clothes for no apparent reason. "Why are you wearing this?"
Lu Chongfeng said, "I saw that they are very popular in Beijing, so I bought one specially. How is it?"
"Fashionable." Liang Xin praised, "But the military uniform still looks better."
The boat sailed to a place with red walls and willow trees. Lu Chongfeng tilted his head and kissed Liang Xin's ear, hugging her round belly, "Are you good, naughty boy? Did it make you uncomfortable?"
Liang Xin shook her head and when she lowered her neck to look at her belly, a charming glow naturally revealed itself.
Lu Chongfeng couldn't help himself and moved his lips from her ear to her fair neck.
"Stop it."
Liang Xin grabbed his hand and said, "Be careful, there are police hiding on the shore, they might take us away as hooligans."
"Legal."
Lu Chongfeng put his face against Liang Xin's cheek and admired the lights of Qinhuai with her. "Why don't you seem as surprised as you thought I would be when I came back tonight?"
Liang Xin smiled and didn't refute.
"Did you guess it?"
Lu Chongfeng asked curiously: "How did you know I would come?"
"I didn't guess."
Liang Xin said, "It's just that the newspapers published news about the Beijing military exercise a few days ago, and I wondered if you were done with your work and were coming back. But military work is not something you can just leave whenever you want. After thinking about it for a while, I no longer had any hope."
Lu Chongfeng hugged Liang Xin tightly and asked, "So you still hope that I can come?"
Liang Xin deeply felt that Lu Chongfeng's communication skills had improved greatly. At least he was much more precise in picking out the key points than before.
Suddenly, Lu Chongfeng leaned close to Liang Xin's ear and whispered something.
Liang Xin thought she had misheard and was about to ask again when the cruise ship passed the red wall and a water bridge came into view. Several fireworks rushed into the sky. With a "bang", red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple fireworks illuminated the sky.
The light and shadows of the fireworks reflected on the river surface are also extremely beautiful.
Being in the Milky Way, I didn’t know if it was because the cabin was shaking or because I was dizzy due to the hot head, but I couldn’t tell which side was the real Milky Way.
After the brilliance, the fireworks poured down like stars, lines of fire flew into the sky, and the colorful fireworks bloomed again, lighting up the world.
There were noisy sounds coming from the houses on both sides of the river. They were all attracted by the fireworks and cheered loudly in surprise when they saw the beautiful sight of the second wave of fireworks.
Liang Xin sat up straight and looked back at Lu Chongfeng, but was stunned by the starry night scene reflected in his black eyes. She paused for two seconds, "You just..."
"Happy birthday."
Lu Chongfeng interrupted Liang Xin's words, and when the last wave of fireworks rushed into the sky and bloomed brilliantly, he pressed Liang Xin's lips.
Adults and children on both sides of the strait were looking up at Liang Xin's gift, and no one saw what the birthday star on the Qinhuai River was doing.
The stars fell into the earth and sank to the bottom of the water around the cabin. The rippling waves, with the imprint of a colorful painting of the sky in the water, were reflected in Liang Xin's eyes.
Lu Chongfeng took a look and pressed Liang Xin down again.
Liang Xin breathed slightly and leaned on Lu Chongfeng's neck.
Lu Chongfeng kept kissing Liang Xin's forehead, "You don't even remember your own birthday."
Liang Xin leaned her head further in, her eyes pressed against the skin of his collarbone.
The cruise ship continued to move forward. Lu Chongfeng quietly hugged Liang Xin and said, "Today is the fourth day of the ninth lunar month. Your lunar birthday is not written in your household registration. This time, I discussed with the staff to set off fireworks to celebrate National Day. You don't have to worry about it affecting me in the future."
Liang Xin's long eyelashes were wet. She looked at the lanterns outside the cabin without saying a word.
This was the real reason why he was wearing casual clothes.
Lu Chongfeng hugged Liang Xin and whispered in her ear: "I thought too simply before. Not only could you not wear the gift I gave you, but it made you worry about it. However, it was because of the last time that I realized that I should make an upgrade."
Liang Xin raised her hands and hugged his neck, forgetting to worry about whether someone on both sides of the strait would see her, and took the initiative to kiss his lips.
Lu Chongfeng immediately held the back of Liang Xin's head and kissed her back hard.
Liang Xin sat on his lap, holding his neck tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid of losing him, stroking his lips and whispering, "Thank you."
This is her first birthday.
Lu Chongfeng rubbed the tip of Liang Xin's nose with his nose bridge, "Do you like it so much?"
"like."
Liang Xin looked back at the quiet water bridge. The gorgeous fireworks just now were not even as good as the ten-mile Qinhuai River and the golden land of the Six Dynasties. She could still find traces of the ruins, but they would always be treasured in her mind and heart.
Treasure it forever, this birthday gift that only she and Lu Chongfeng know about.
Her first birthday present.
After returning home and taking a shower, Lu Chongfeng discovered that Liang Xin's emotions not only did not calm down, but seemed to be getting more and more excited.
She lay on the bed, lying on her left side, pursing her lips and smiling, then turned over to her right, her eyes were lost in thought for a moment, then she sat up with the corners of her lips raised, her eyes sparkling as she teased him to talk.
“It’s really beautiful.”
"The fireworks are so big. They are the most beautiful fireworks I have ever seen!"
"Didn't you just come back? Where did you go to prepare the fireworks?"
"I really didn't expect this firework at all!"
"No wonder you prepared plain noodles!"
.......
Lu Chongfeng lay on the bed, hugging "Little Nagging".
He also didn't expect that this fireworks display would make Liang Xin so happy.
I was so happy that it seemed as if my personality had changed.
No longer calm and peaceful, but mature and calm.
Like a lively little girl.
Lu Chongfeng couldn't help but kiss Liang Xin's red cheeks, and then couldn't help but kiss her sparkling eyes, "Are you sleepy?"
"I feel sleepy."
Liang Xin lay flat on the pillow, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, closed her eyes, and said, "I'm asleep."
She wanted to go into the darkness and savor every moment of the night.
Just as I calmed down and thought, I heard Lu Chongfeng's laughter in the darkness.
Liang Xin opened her eyes and looked at him, "What are you laughing at?"
Lu Chongfeng picked up a palm leaf fan to fan Liang Xin, "Are you hot?"
"A fan will do."
Liang Xin closed her eyes again and was about to recall the past when her body was carried away.
"Now that you have a gift, you don't need a husband anymore?"
Liang Xin closed her eyes and said nothing.
Lu Chongfeng laughed again, turned off the desk lamp, and didn't disturb her anymore.
Liang Xin turned over and lay in his arms.
Lu Chongfeng raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, placed his palm on Liang Xin's belly, and closed his eyes which had not slept for two days and two nights.
When she came back, Hu Fenglian agreed to let Liu Liangxin stay in Jiangjing to recuperate after giving birth.
But when Lu Chongfeng returned to the 11th Division, he packed Liang Xin's luggage as well.
Hu Fenglian: "...What do you mean, let Liang Xin go back again? If Liang Xin goes back, can you take care of her during the confinement period and the child? Oh, and your broken place..."
"I can't leave my wife, and I want to see the baby being born with my own eyes."
Lu Chongfeng zipped up his bag and said, "Minister Zou has booked a soft sleeper compartment for division-level cadres. Xiao Wei will take him to the train station. I have also arranged everything after we get off the train."
"The key is confinement..."
"It's all arranged."
Liang Xin was also a little surprised that Lu Chongfeng would suddenly choose to let her return to the 11th Division.
But if she had a choice, she would definitely still like to stay with Lu Chongfeng.
Besides, there are Simmons soft sleepers on the way back, and the treatment standard in the dining car is also very high.
"Mom, since he said it's arranged, let's go back."
Hu Fenglian still looked at her son with concern, but she did not force him to stay, "I'll go with you!"
"You take a rest."
Lu Chongfeng said: "You have never been separated from Dad in all these years. Don't worry, I will call you if I really need you."
Hu Fenglian didn't believe her son, but she believed Liang Xin. Seeing that Liang Xin was not very worried, and being persuaded by Liang Xin for another half an hour, she finally packed a whole box of the children's clothes and supplies, took out cushions and pillows to put in the car, and watched the two leave.
The car drove all the way from the train station to the 11th Division of Jiangkou Base. When Liang Xin saw the service center, she put her hand on the door handle and prepared to get off.
The car did not stop as usual. Liang Xin thought that there was a lot of luggage and wanted to send it to her doorstep.
As a result, the car did not turn and enter the moon gate of the family compound, but went straight to another family compound.
Liang Xin was stunned, looking at the familiar two-story building passing by outside the window.
Lu Chongfeng sat there calmly, looking quite dignified. He caught a glimpse of Liang Xin's stunned look from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his dignity disappeared instantly.
The car stopped at the front gate of the large yard.
Lu Chongfeng opened the door and got out of the car first, then walked around to Liang Xin's side, opened the door, and regardless of the presence of the driver, directly carried Liang Xin out of the car, letting her land steadily and stand up straight.
Liang Xin walked to the front of the courtyard wall and looked inside through the hollow flower window, but was blocked by the branches of a lush persimmon tree. She could only vaguely see that the yard was empty.
"Here's the door."
Lu Chongfeng walked up to Liang Xin and raised his chin towards the red wooden door.
Liang Xin looked at him suspiciously, "You got a promotion?"
Before Lu Chongfeng could answer, the soldier standing in front of the trunk said, "Deputy Division Commander Lu, can we move the things in first?"
"Wait."
Lu Chongfeng tapped Liang Xin's shoulder and said, "You have to enter our new home first."
Liang Xin knew that Lu Chongfeng would be promoted unless something unexpected happened. This was inevitable, but job changes usually happen at the end of the year. So even if Lu Chongfeng said it was arranged, she had never thought about getting a promotion and changing houses.
As soon as he got out of the car, he was unexpectedly transported to a two-story building and a large courtyard. Liang Xin was stunned for a long time before he pushed open the red wooden door.
A central road paved with cobblestones leads directly to the entrance of the small building. There is empty dirt land on both sides of the central road. Except for the persimmon tree beside the courtyard wall, there is not a single weed.
"The persimmon tree has already borne fruit, and I didn't let them remove it."
Lu Chongfeng followed Liang Xin into the house and asked, "Is this place big enough for you to grow flowers?"
Liang Xin nodded and looked at the two-story building made of red bricks. The roof sloped down to adapt to the wind and rain at the river mouth, and the exterior walls were coated with cement.
The first floor faces south and has three rooms. The floor looks like a newly laid terrazzo floor and the interior walls are all painted, white on top and light blue on the bottom.
Dado is not paint, but wooden wall paneling.
As soon as Liang Xin entered the door, her mood instantly became light and cheerful because of the wall matching.
Lu Chongfeng had been observing Liang Xin's expression. When he saw a smile on Liang Xin's face, he also smiled, "Is the living room big enough?"
Liang Xin looked at the new set of simple sofas in the living room and saw at a glance that it was the standard configuration of the school, so she didn't ask any more questions.
I glanced at the TV and radio on the low table, then looked through the wall behind the low cabinet to see the dining room and kitchen.
Liang Xin couldn't help but smile again, "We have a place to eat alone now."
The dining table was the same one at home, which Lu Chongfeng bought later.
Liang Xin thought about the fate of the dining table that the teacher had provided, her face turned red, and she looked at the two windows through which the sunlight came in.
There is a small door next to the window.
Liang Xin pushed open the small door. The backyard was a green belt with flower beds. Opposite the flower beds were the housing for division-level cadres, and diagonally opposite was Division Commander Yang's home. "Did this yard get moved to the front yard?"
Lu Chongfeng asked: "Do you think the front yard is not enough?"
Liang Xin looked outside at the yard which was at least one acre in size. "It's enough. I just remember that Yang Tao's house seemed to have a backyard."
"Which one do you like?"
Lu Chongfeng looked at the houses of Commander Yang and Political Commissar Zheng. "Since you said you wanted to plant flowers last time, I have set my sights on this house. You can grow vegetables and flowers in the same yard, just like the teahouse used to have. The sunlight is much better than over there. Are you dissatisfied?"
"satisfy."
Liang Xin closed the small door and looked towards the kitchen. In addition to the wood stove and honeycomb coal stove, she unexpectedly saw a liquefied petroleum gas tank. She followed the pipe to the gas stove on the wooden table next to it.
Lu Chongfeng said, "The gas pipelines are installed by the city gas company. I'll show you when we cook. Let's go upstairs and take a look at our room and the children's room first."
Liang Xin turned to look at him, "Are you addicted to creating surprises, one after another?"
Lu Chongfeng suppressed the upward curve of his lips and said, "Are you surprised? I told you before that I have a very high talent for love!"
