Chapter 141
Shuangshuang fell in love for the first time. Unlike the plot in the TV drama, she found that her love was no different from usual. Because she was too familiar with Chenchen's brother, the way they got along with each other hardly changed.
Wu Xiangchen and his father visited some of Wu Feng's old comrades on the island. Every time he came back, Wu Xiangchen would come to Cheng's house to find Shuangshuang, either to bring some food or to chat.
Shuangshuang was eating the meat pie that Wu Xiangchen bought in the county town. She looked around and saw that everyone in the family was busy with other things and no one was paying attention to her. She poked Chenchen's brother's strong arm.
"Are we in love? Why does it feel the same as before?"
The meat pie was freshly baked, with crispy crust and savory meat filling mixed with the heat. As they ate bite by bite, they left their lips covered with crust crumbs.
Wu Xiangchen reached out his hand to touch her lips, gently brushing away the crumbs for her, and stared at her red lips thoughtfully. Her plump lips were as tempting as summer peaches...
"Don't you think you're in love?" Wu Xiangchen stood beside her, looking down at her.
She felt a burning gaze lingering on her lips, and she immediately pursed her lips. Some images flashed through her mind, and she nodded, "Same, very similar."
"Still similar?" Wu Xiangchen was amused by the little girl, as if the two of them were fake.
"I will be back in the army tomorrow. When will you come back from school?"
Wu Xiangchen didn't feel it before, but now he finds it hard to bear the separation. How did he watch her go home for winter and summer vacations, and be away for a month or two at a time?
"Leaving on the thirteenth day of the New Year." Shuangshuang can cherish the last few days of her winter vacation.
"Can't you leave earlier?" Wu Xiangchen leaned closer to her, his deep eyes rarely filled with tears, "If I go back, will you stay here with peace of mind?"
"Don't worry." She took a bite of the meat pie and touched his cheek. "I'll find you when I get back!"
Wu Xiangchen: “…”
What should I do if my girlfriend is heartless?
Just a few days after the two confirmed their relationship, Wu Xiangchen was leaving again the next day. Shuangshuang decided to spend the next two days with him and only found time to meet with Sister Qingqing.
She was actually a little hesitant about whether to tell her good friend about her situation, but she didn't know how to start the conversation.
Lu Qing found that Shuangshuang had changed in the past few days. At first glance, she seemed the same as before, always cheerful, but upon closer inspection, her eyes and brows were gentle, and she was always smiling. That smile was a little different from the past, as if she was filled with happiness everywhere, and the curve of her mouth could not be easily suppressed.
"Shuangshuang, have you developed a relationship with that person you mentioned before?"
Wow!
Both of them looked up suddenly, "How did you know?"
Lu Qing held back his laughter, looking at her silly look, "It's written all over your face~"
Is there?!
She stroked her cheeks with both hands. Did she show her love for Brother Chenchen clearly on her face?!
"Is it Wu Xiangchen?" Lu Qing was also curious. She was usually the most dignified and reserved girl, but she was also gossiping about her good friend's relationship.
"Yeah." Since Sister Qingqing had guessed it, Shuangshuang didn't hide it. "Don't tell anyone else yet. We've only been together for... a few days."
"Okay." Lu Qing was about to say something else when he saw Dunzi, Wu Xiangchen and Xu Chaoheng coming in together.
"Oh my god, it's so hot playing basketball." Dunzi saw the two people sitting in Shuangshuang's room, looked at Lu Qing awkwardly, and asked Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, is there any water?"
"Yes!" Shuangshuang stood up to pour water for the brothers and prepared to serve them bowls one by one.
Wu Xiangchen kicked each of his two brothers and said, "Take it yourself."
Dunzi sat on the sofa and said, "We have loved Shuangshuang since we were little, so can't we enjoy it when a girl brings us a bowl of water?"
Before Shuangshuang said anything, Wu Xiangchen was unhappy. Who was he calling?!
"Shuangshuang, come here, ignore them, get your own drinks if you want." Wu Xiangchen sat on the sofa at the side, but he was reluctant to let his girlfriend pour water for these two lazy guys.
"Hey, Wu Xiangchen, what's wrong with you?" Hengheng pushed him and pointed at him, "If you have the guts, then don't drink."
Dunzi joined the team to attack his brothers, "This guy must be up to no good again! Why? You don't really think that after you've been gone for so many years, Hengheng and I have watched Shuangshuang grow up, and Shuangshuang will be more loyal to you, right?"
Wu Xiangchen lazily leaned on the sofa, listening to the story of how they had been together for so many years. He felt a sense of relief. He had indeed missed out on all the years that Shuangshuang had spent together. However, his desire to win came over him, "Then you give it a try."
"Wow." Dunzi still didn't believe it, "Shuang'er~ Tell me, is Brother Dunzi good to you? Who did you give the bowl of water to today?"
They were both involved in the war inexplicably. Seeing that their brothers, who had been jealous of each other since childhood, had started fighting again, they just wanted to call them childish.
There were heated glances from all directions, even Lu Qing stared at her with interest.
"Brother Dunzi, Brother Hengheng, have some water." Shuangshuang brought water to the two of them, thinking about the friendship between them who had taken care of them since they were young.
"Hahaha, look at that!" Dunzi laughed proudly. The little Baicai he had watched since she was little still knew who was good to her. "I told you, our Shuang'er is still a good sister. It's worth it that I gave you so much candy since you were little."
Heng Heng raised his chin towards Wu Xiangchen and said proudly, "Man, you have to admit defeat. Who let you go for so many years?!"
Wu Xiangchen seemed to be smiling, still leaning on the sofa. He only glanced at the guilty little girl lightly. She glanced at him secretly, blinked at him, and smiled ingratiatingly, like a cunning little fox.
After the people left, Shuangshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, not long after, Wu Xiangchen came back.
"You're really not giving me face, huh?"
Wu Xiangchen spoke in a calm tone. Shuangshuang knew that he was not angry, but this man still had to be coaxed.
"Not at all." Now that there was no one at home, she took his arm coquettishly, shook it gently, and looked at him with her watery almond eyes, which was almost irresistible.
Wu Xiangchen, who had a strong will, tried to straighten his face. "Choose your brother Dunzi and brother Hengheng? And leave me aside?"
"How could they leave you alone?" Shuangshuang tried to explain to herself, "They just want to drink water."
"That doesn't mean you can call my girlfriend." Wu Xiangchen was even more domineering.
Shuangshuang burst out laughing, causing Wu Xiangchen to glance at her, "You're still laughing, your elbows are bent outward."
Before Shuangshuang had time to think about which way she turned was considered turning outward, she always felt something was wrong.
"That's different. They are my older brothers who have watched me grow up."
"Oh, I'm the unimportant brother who's been gone for so many years, right?"
Shuangshuang's face wrinkled as she looked at this usually stable man in surprise. It was the first time she found him so childish. "Who said it's not important? It's important. It's just that you're easier to coax~"
Wu Xiangchen raised his eyebrows to listen to what was being said, "How can I be easily appeased? You were so rude today and helped Dunzi and the others. I am still angry..."
Pah.
Shuangshuang stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the face, and left quickly.
"Okay, are you still angry?" She looked at him with her head tilted, her long eyelashes fluttering, and there seemed to be thousands of lights in her eyes.
Wu Xiangchen cursed in his heart, it turned out that he was so easy to please.
=
Dunzi felt that he had won a great victory and was prepared to remember this incident and use it to piss Wu Xiangchen off to death!
After I went home and had dinner, I lay down on the bed, but I couldn't help thinking about the lively Lu Qing just now. This person didn't seem to be special to me. He had been neither cold nor indifferent for these years. Why did he kiss me secretly...
Whenever Dunzi thought about this, his head started to hurt.
Even the toughest issues in the business world had never made him so depressed. He couldn't vent his emotions, and he couldn't get the truth.
Rubbing his short hair, Dunzi thought of Lu Qing and sighed.
"What are you doing? Why are you so sad during the New Year?" Wu Xiangchen went upstairs and saw Dunzi lying on the bed, looking worried.
"Nothing." Dunzi didn't know how to start.
Wu Xiangchen was now standing at the top of victory. He looked at this disappointing brother and sat down on him. "Is he trapped by love?"
The person lying on the bed said nothing.
"What did Lu Qing do to you?" Wu Xiangchen said calmly.
"Bullshit!" This time, the person lying on the bed got mad and sat up. "What are you talking about? Lu Qing and I have the purest homosexual relationship."
"Really? It was just a stealth kiss, pure indeed."
Dunzi: “…”
"Alright, alright, stop bothering me!" Dunzi surrendered for the first time in a while and even gave up the argument.
"Think carefully about it, whether you are interested in that person..." Wu Xiangchen stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at his brother who was still very troubled.
"Where do I have..."
"Then why did you only tease Lu Qing when you were always polite and distant to every girl before?"
When Lu Qing came to the family compound, Wu Xiangchen had already left with his father. Even so, he heard a lot about the quarrels between Dunzi and Lu Qing.
This is not Dunzi's usual style.
"I..." Dunzi scratched his head and remained silent.
"Think it over for yourself. Don't be muddle-headed and regret it later. You've treated Lu Qing differently since she was a child. Haven't you noticed? Have you treated other girls in the family compound or women you meet outside like this?" Wu Xiangchen felt that he was already the best among the brothers and had rich experience in love, even though it was only a few days. "I heard that Uncle Lu took Lu Qing to visit the commander of the Second Brigade yesterday, and the commander wanted to match Lu Qing with his son."
Dunzi raised his head suddenly, looked at Wu Xiangchen's eyes, and then looked away guiltily.
His mind was in a mess and he didn't want to think about it anymore. Chenchen would be leaving tomorrow, so he had to put his brother first.
"Okay, don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing!"
The two brothers walked downstairs arm in arm. Dunzi asked, "What do you mean? Are we going to play ball or watch a movie tonight?"
He was very loyal to his brother, so he patted his chest and said, "Before you leave, I will accompany you wherever you go and whatever you do. If anyone else comes to you, I will refuse them all. How about that?"
Wu Xiangchen was deeply moved and politely declined, "Thank you, I appreciate it, but if you have something to do, go do it yourself."
Dunzi: “…?”
"No, what do you mean? Are you busy with something else?"
"That's right." Wu Xiangchen would definitely choose his girlfriend over his brother. He would leave the island tomorrow, so he should make the most of his time to be with his girlfriend. "You go find Hengheng and the others. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Hey!" Dunzi looked at his good brother's ruthless back as he left, took a deep breath, and was almost angry to death, "You are so disloyal! Are you a human being?!"
When he turned around, he ran into Lu Qing who came to Cheng's house to look for Shuang Shuang. Their eyes met, and Lu Qing said calmly, "Dunzi, have you eaten?"
Dunzi had just been mad at Wu Xiangchen, and then he looked at Lu Qing who had kissed him secretly and was still pretending nothing had happened, and he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
——
After Wu Xiangchen and Dunzi parted ways, they walked along the family compound, passing through an abandoned small building, and finally arrived at the secret base where a group of children used to play games.
"Brother Chenchen~"
Hearing the noise, Shuangshuang poked her head out, smiled, and waved at him.
"Are we in love?" Wu Xiangchen was helpless about the date location that the two of them had carefully chosen. They were an open couple, so why were they hiding like this?
Shuangshuang stuck out her tongue and smiled at him, "Everyone knows us now, so we can be seen wherever we go. When we go back, no one in the capital will know us, so we can go anywhere."
She didn't want to let everyone know about it yet, after all, they had only been together for a few days.
Wu Xiangchen approached Shuangshuang and took her hand and walked inside. The little girl's hand was warm, soft and tender. "Are you running here again? Be careful not to catch a cold in this weather."
"I get it, stop nagging~" Shuangshuang felt happy but still couldn't help scolding him.
"Do you still remember this place?" Shuangshuang excitedly recalled the childhood of brother Chenchen.
"I remember that we always loved to fight here. It was really noisy back then, and you were the leader."
The small building was the former office building of the Women's Federation of the Family Courtyard. It has been abandoned for many years and there are only a few dusty tables and chairs inside.
"I heard that kids nowadays don't like to play those games and no one comes here." Both of them felt that they really missed out on some fun games.
"Do you still want to play? How old are you?" Wu Xiangchen looked at Shuangshuang and felt that this little girl seemed always like a flower waving in the wind, facing the morning sunshine.
"This has nothing to do with age!" They both dragged him inside. They walked to the window of the innermost office on the second floor. The old glass window was half open, and the cold winter wind blew in.
They both leaned their heads to look under the window, as if looking for the shadows of the people who played games in the past.
"Be careful not to fall. Aren't you cold?" Wu Xiangchen pulled her back a little and touched her cheek. She was indeed a little cold. He took another look at the girl's clothes, a woolen coat, and asked, "Are you wearing too little?"
"No, I was just caught in the wind..." Shuangshuang turned around and found that brother Chenchen was staring at them seriously and covered their foreheads with his big hand, thinking he was really worried about them.
Pulling his hand down, they both played with his palm, pressing and pinching it. "I'm not a child. How can I get sick so easily?"
"You were a real worry when you were little, and I don't think you've made much progress since you grew up."
"!" Shuangshuang glared at him and pouted, "Nonsense, I'm independent and I've made progress. Every uncle and aunt in the family compound praises me when they see me. My father, mother and grandmother are so proud of me. Everyone says that they wish they had a daughter like me, who is smart, cute and caring."
"You're so conceited." Wu Xiangchen scratched her red nose with a smile on his face.
"I don't..." Shuangshuang didn't finish her words when she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from not far away, which seemed to be...
"Lu Qing, make your point clear today!"
It’s Brother Dunzi!
Both of them were surprised. Brother Dunzi and Sister Qingqing were here too? It was just right for them to reminisce about their childhood together.
Just when she was about to say hello to Brother Dunzi, she heard it again.
"What do you want to clarify?" - Lu Qing.
"You kissed me secretly that night, don't deny it!" Dunzi was furious and blurted out everything, "You kissed me, and then you went on a blind date with someone else, what do you mean by that?"
Shuangshuang: “...!!!”
The words to say hello were cut off in his throat, his eyes widened in shock, and he almost screamed out loud. He had to cover his mouth with his hands to calm himself down.
What did she hear?
Sister Qingqing secretly kissed Brother Dunzi? !
