Chapter 137

Lose a girlfriend?

Shuangshuang stepped back slightly, her eyes rolled, and she muttered, "What can I pay for it?"

But from what he just said, it seems that Brother Chenchen really wants to find a girlfriend.

After looking at him again, Shuangshuang looked away again, "Then you should find a girlfriend. I can't afford to lose you."

Wu Xiangchen sat up straight, looked at her slightly puffy cheeks, and said loudly, "Okay."

The answer was very straightforward. Shuangshuang resisted the urge to speak again and only scolded him in his heart, “That’s too much!”

As the winter vacation was approaching, Shuangshuang took time out to find Lu Qing for dinner. Neither of them invited anyone, and they just had a gathering as sisters.

The steaming mutton soup is bubbling, and the fatty mutton is wrapped in sesame sauce, which is full of freshness and flavor.

"Sister Qingqing, do you think all those guys want to find a girlfriend?"

Shuangshuang was still thinking about what Wu Xiangchen said last week. This guy was too eager to find a girlfriend.

Lu Qing glanced at the girl opposite him with a half-smile. In the smoke, her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles. She has really grown into a big girl.

"What?" She smiled, "Who do you like?"

"No!" Shuangshuang instantly became like a cat with its fur standing on end. She raised her voice and replied to her. A handsome face flashed through her mind again. "I don't like anyone."

"Oh~" Lu Qing knew that Shuangshuang had never been clear about this aspect, but this time was different. When she denied it just now, she seemed to have thought of something. For Lu Qing, who had been clear about it early on, he was almost sure at a glance who Shuangshuang had fallen in love with.

"Then just assume that you don't like anyone. Tell me, what did that guy do to you?"

Shuangshuang automatically ignored the first half of her sentence and immediately started complaining to others.

"I just met a nasty guy who is not careful in finding a girlfriend. Marriage is a major event in life, how can it be done casually?"

"Of course I'm looking for someone because I like him." Lu Qing thought of himself as soon as he finished speaking. He felt bitter and finally suppressed his emotions. He continued to comfort Shuang Shuang, "Don't you like a guy you know looking for a girlfriend?"

"Yes." Shuangshuang was very frank.

Lu Qing looked at her with a smile. The lively and lovely Shuang Shuang had really grown up and had become savvy. She leaned back in her chair leisurely and said casually, "That's not difficult. You can be his girlfriend."

This silly girl is still dizzy, she doesn't mind helping her.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, but her reaction when she heard this was not as excited as when her roommate misunderstood the relationship between her and Chenchen's brother.

Become Chenchen's brother's girlfriend?

But I am his sister!

"Go back and think about it carefully. I have some advice for you, from the bottom of my heart." Lu Qing told her seriously, "If you like someone, you must try your best to get him/her back, so that you won't regret it. Even if he/she doesn't like you, at least you won't have any regrets."

Shuangshuang felt that Sister Qingqing opposite them seemed a little sad when she said this, but in the next moment she smiled at them, just like before.

Just as Shuangshuang was thinking about it, the final exam came. In the blink of an eye, the first semester of her junior year ended and the winter vacation came. She packed her luggage and prepared to go home.

Today, Brother Dunzi had an important dinner and Sister Qingqing was at work, so neither of them could come to see her off. However, Wu Xiangchen arrived at the gate of Capital University on time.

Wu Xiangchen naturally took the suitcase from Shuangshuang's hands and asked her, "Have you packed everything? Let's go have a meal first. It's a good time to take the bus after lunch. I prepared some apples and chocolates for you. You can eat them in the car."

"Okay." Shuangshuang nodded absentmindedly, biting her lip and hesitating, "Have you found a girlfriend?"

Wu Xiangchen didn't expect her to care about this right away. "No, it's not that easy to find a girlfriend."

"Really?" Shuangshuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Yuan had said that a handsome soldier like Brother Chenchen would have a very good time finding a girlfriend. Fortunately, "You'll have to take your time to find one."

"Well, don't worry about it."

"I just worry about it."

The two of them walked forward while talking, both of them completely focused on the man next to them, their eyes almost glued to his face, and they didn't notice anything going on around them.

"Walk carefully." Wu Xiangchen saw that the girl was absent-minded and didn't even notice the Santana passing by just now. He directly grabbed her arm and pulled her back a little.

Shuangshuang was obedient now, but she felt a slight heat in the place where she had just been pulled.

After lunch, Wu Xiangchen sent people to the platform and waited for the train to arrive.

"Go back and have a good rest. You guys have worked hard in college."

"It's okay, I'm smart, it's not that hard."

Wu Xiangchen liked Shuangshuang's cocky look the most, like a proud peacock, "That's right, you've been smart since you were young."

The praised twin tails fluttered higher.

The train whistle sounded and the train pulled into the station at a steady speed. They waved goodbye to Brother Chenchen, "Goodbye, Brother Chenchen."

"Goodbye, be safe on the road."

"I know." Shuangshuang felt a little reluctant for the first time. It would be more than two months before they would meet again. She turned around and looked at the man standing like a pine tree. "Brother Chenchen, please come back to the island when you have time. Everyone misses you very much."

Wu Xiangchen looked at her without saying a word. The two were three or four meters apart. They both carried the suitcase in one hand and put the other hand in the pocket of their cotton jackets. They watched as Brother Chenchen suddenly strode towards them, his open military coat swaying with his elegant and neat steps.

With just a few steps, both of them stared at his black leather boots. It seemed that each step was stepping on the bluestone floor and also on their hearts, making a thudding sound.

When I regained my consciousness, the person was already standing in front of me.

"Okay, I'll go back and take a look when I have time." Wu Xiangchen looked at the little girl in a red scarf, with half of her face exposed, and felt reluctant to leave. On the way over just now, he even had the urge to hold her in his arms.

However, reason still triumphed over impulse.

Shuangshuang knew that he was comforting himself. This year, he would not even go back home for the New Year and would stay in the army. How would he have the time to go back to the island?

"The scarf is messed up."

Wu Xiangchen straightened her red scarf, wrapped it around her twice from the beginning, and wrapped it up like she had done before.

Shuangshuang stood there in a daze, only feeling that Brother Chenchen was very close to them, so close that they could hear his breathing and smell the faint scent of laundry detergent on his body.

He put the scarf back on her neck, and she only felt a pair of hands moving back and forth. When his hands went around her neck, it was as if he was holding her.

Wu Xiangchen was tall. He leaned over with half of his body while wearing a scarf on his head. He put his hands behind Shuangshuang's body. Shuangshuang suddenly felt her breathing stagnate. She felt nervous and shy, with all kinds of mixed emotions. She intertwined her slender fingers together, held her breath, and even dared not breathe.

Unable to hold back, they both raised their eyes to look at him. Brother Chenchen seemed very serious, staring at the scarf intently. His handsome face under the black hair was full of solemnity, as if he was carrying out some important task at the moment, focused and serious.

As they watched, both of them felt their faces getting hot.

"Okay, get in the car." Wu Xiangchen raised his hand and placed it on the top of her hair, gently rubbing her head, and his palm felt soft.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Bye!"

She turned around to look at him for the last time. She was used to short separations and actually felt reluctant to leave. People were coming and going around her, and only Wu Xiangchen stood there staring at her. At that moment, she almost had the impulse to ask him to go back with her to celebrate the New Year.

——

After three days of train travel back to the island, both of them temporarily put aside their recent strange emotions, and the joy of returning home instantly overwhelmed everything.

The family is preparing for the Chinese New Year and is actively preparing for the New Year.

Jian Lu found that the young lady seemed to have grown up a lot, her eyebrows and eyes had become more mature, and she was really a beautiful girl.

Aunt Wang cares about her granddaughter's studies. After hearing that everything is fine, she is also concerned about her granddaughter's emotional problems.

It's no wonder she was worried. When she went out to buy groceries these few days, she heard that the daughter of the bun shop owner was in college and had an affair with a male classmate. The two young people were so passionate about each other that they caused a commotion. Now she has to take a leave of absence from school to go home and have a baby.

"Shuangshuang, are you in a relationship at school?"

Shuangshuang shook her head, "Grandma, I don't have any."

"You can talk, but you have to be careful." Aunt Wang doesn't understand why young people nowadays are so bold! In the past, people of her generation didn't even dare to hold hands before getting married.

Hearing this, Cheng Zheng was both relieved and anxious. "If you want to choose a partner, you have to be careful and choose carefully in the school. But your school is good, and the character and ability of the students there should be guaranteed."

Jian Lu glanced at him and said, "If you didn't know, you would think you were picking people to do your report."

"I think it's better to pick one from college, but don't pick one who's a soldier." Cheng Zheng is a soldier himself, and he knows the hardships of having a wife who's a soldier. Times are different now, and he certainly doesn't want his daughter-in-law to suffer the same hardship.

"Dad." Shuangshuang was surprised and subconsciously retorted, "Why do you still want to find a soldier?"

"How can I say I'm disgusted with you?" Cheng Zheng thought his daughter just hadn't grown up yet. "Ask your mom if it's hard to be a military wife. Dad loves you, but why do you still have to endure this hardship? When you get married, your husband will often be away on missions. Wouldn't that be hard? Dad is a soldier, but he doesn't want you to be a military wife."

"It's not that bad." Shuangshuang thought of Brother Chenchen. He wasn't that scary at all.

"I see what you mean..." Cheng Zheng has been doing a lot of political and ideological work in recent years, and his insight is particularly sharp. His daughter has refuted several times, so she might have fallen in love with a soldier? ! "Shuangshuang, tell Dad the truth, do you like a soldier?"

Shuangshuang was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His fur stood up instantly and he looked up at his father, "Dad, I didn't!"

After saying that, he confirmed again and shook his head, "Really not."

One's own daughter knows herself well. Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu looked at each other and felt that something was wrong with the daughter.

At night, the couple leaned against the bed and talked. Cheng Zheng thought about many young men of the right age in the courtyard. "Wife, tell me, is Shuangshuang really having an affair with some kid in the courtyard without telling us?"

"She's been studying abroad. Is she really dating someone here? They're too far away. How can they have a relationship?"

"What's the big deal? The conditions were even more difficult before, and some couples hadn't seen each other for years." Cheng Zheng felt something was wrong the more he thought about it. It was like he was facing a powerful enemy. Possible candidates flashed by one after another. The son of Political Commissar Jiang who was a soldier? The youngest son of He Lu who was a soldier? "Don't let some brat deceive us!"

During the Spring Festival this year, only two of the four people in the capital went home for the winter vacation. Wu Xiangchen saw them off and then returned to the army.

He originally planned not to take the family leave this year and stayed in the army for the New Year. Dunzi was very happy about this as he planned to go home on the 27th day of the New Year for business.

After having dinner with his brothers, Dunzi joined another dinner party. He was busy with his business. Not only did he have to sell clothes, but he also had to take care of his interpersonal relationships. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, there were constant dinner parties and the drinking never stopped.

After drinking for several sessions in a row, Dunzi drank so much that he had a stomachache.

Dunzi went to a nearby hospital to get medicine. He endured the pain, pressed his stomach with one hand, and cursed in his heart those people who were not afraid of drinking to death.

He didn't eat today and just drank two rounds of alcohol. His hands were shaking when he took the medicine.

"Dunzi, why are you here?" Lu Qing had just got off work. He changed out of his white coat and put on a coat, then put on his bag and prepared to go home.

Taking a look at the place where his hand was pressing and smelling the alcohol on this man, Lu Qing remembered what Shuangshuang had complained about, that Dunzi had had many drinking parties.

"Your stomach is upset?" Lu Qing's eyes were filled with sadness, and he softened his voice to persuade him, "Can't you drink less?"

Dunzi didn't expect such a coincidence that he could run into an acquaintance. "It's almost the New Year, I drank a little too much, it's nothing, I will be fine in a while."

The two of them left together. Lu Qing felt distressed when he saw that his face, which was pretending to be calm, would sometimes be distorted by the pain that he couldn't bear.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Dunzi replied casually, "I'll buy a meal when I get home, and then I'll have to take medicine after the meal."

"Don't eat the boxed lunch outside. You feel sick in your stomach now. Be careful not to eat it, or you'll feel worse. You don't even take care of your body..." Lu Qing acted like a doctor and scolded the man. Seeing that he was about to go home, he suddenly had an impulsive idea. Without thinking clearly, he blurted out, "Come to my house and have a bowl of porridge before you leave."

Dunzi couldn't resist the temptation of the freshly cooked porridge in winter. After all, she was her swimming teacher, so it wasn't too much to have a bowl of porridge.

Lu Qing's house is clean and tidy. Although it is an old house and a bit shabby, Lu Qing has made the house warm and cozy. The warm light on the ceiling is on. Dunzi admires it but feels sleepy.

The days of socializing and the fatigue from drinking almost overcame the discomfort in his stomach. The house was quiet, and only in the kitchen could he hear Lu Qing busying around. It was warm and quiet. Gradually relaxing, he fell on the sofa and closed his eyes.

"The porridge is ready..." Lu Qing came out from the kitchen with a bowl of vegetable porridge in his hand, but he saw Dunzi curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.

Lu Qing put down the vegetable porridge gently and walked slowly towards Dunzi, hesitating whether to wake him up...

The moonlight outside the window poured all over the ground. Everything was quiet. Lu Qing looked at the man lying on the sofa, his black hair hanging obediently in front of his forehead. His usually smiling face was now peaceful and quiet, and he even looked a little docile while sleeping.

"Dunzi...Dunzi..." Lu Qing called him softly.

The man on the sofa did not respond, but continued to frown and close his eyes to concentrate.

Perhaps he was feeling upset in his stomach, which made him frown. Lu Qing gently raised his hand and carefully touched the center of his eyebrows, feeling his raised eyebrows.

The darkness of the night, or perhaps the sleeping person, gave her courage. Their skin pressed against each other, her fingertips seemed to be hot, and she was reluctant to leave.

All kinds of past events came to his mind. Thinking about how he had always been smiling and joking, and how his business seemed glamorous, but behind the scenes he could be drunk to the point of having a stomachache, Lu Qing felt bitter. He wanted to throw his wine glass away, pour out all the wine, and scold him, but what position did he have?

I can only be patient and give him some advice.

This wasn't the way he should be. Lu Qing wanted to smooth his eyebrows and pressed lightly between his brows. After a moment, he saw that he seemed to be really comforted and his brows gradually relaxed.

Squatting beside the sofa, Lu Qing stared at Dunzi for a long time, tracing his face with his eyes. He had long lost his youthful look, and every move he made was mature. Only at this moment, lying quietly and sleeping, did Lu Qing think of the past.

Lu Qing slowly moved closer to him, staring at his face, and then she opened her red lips and called out, "Liang Jingyi."

A wave of impulse surged in his heart. Everyone has grown up. Even Dunzi, who used to be the freest and most unrestrained, is trapped in various complicated relationships. Lu Qing has mixed feelings and slowly moves closer.

A kiss, very light, like a feather brushing across the man's cheek on the sofa.

After leaving in a hurry, Lu Qing woke up instantly, ran back to the bedroom quickly, closed the door, and finally dared to take a deep breath.

On the other side of the wall, the man who was originally suffering from stomachache and headache and was resting with his eyes closed had his eyelashes trembling slightly and his eyelids slowly opened. It seemed like a dream just now, but it seemed like reality.

His deep eyes were filled with shock. He raised his hand and gently touched his cheek. The warm touch just now seemed to still be warm.
