When Nanxi and her group came back, the three grown men ignored each other. Zhanpeng and Balu were lying face to face on the mat that Danmin used to play games on the ground, while Songcai was feeding the fish in the yard with a heavy heart.
"Wife, you are back?" Seeing Nanxi coming back, Baru quickly put away his phone and went up to hug her waist.
"Are you tired of spinning around?"
Zhan Peng also stood up and pulled his wife and child into the room. "Come on, wife, give the child a bath and let him go to bed early today, otherwise he will make a fuss for a long time tomorrow morning with his eyes closed."
Seeing that they had all entered the room, Liang Lu also walked towards the guest room that Nanxi had arranged for her. Just as she was about to close the door, someone kicked the hinge. The tall man squeezed in and closed the door casually. His black eyes stared at the calm little woman opposite him.
"Lulu, you want to leave, why don't you tell me?"
"Didn't I tell Commander Song from the beginning? I won't be staying here for long and will be leaving. Thank you for taking me in during this time."
Liang Lu took two steps back, bowed to Song Cai, then lowered her eyes, not wanting to see his reaction. Her long eyelashes cast thick shadows, trembling slightly on her tired face.
"Lulu," Songcai's hands, which were placed at his sides, were clenched into fists, his voice hoarse and full of helplessness.
"What do you want me to do for you to accept my feelings? Just tell me what you want, and I'll do it. If I can't do it, I'll just give up. Okay? Don't sentence me to death before we even start, okay?"
"Commander Songchai, I don't have the ability to sentence anyone. I don't need to tell you what happened to me, I'm sure you've guessed it. I don't have the mind to think about anything else right now, I just want to live a good life."
Liang Lu turned her back, her voice calm and cold, like a mural carved on stone in a temple.
"But, Lulu, being with me and living a good life with you is not a conflict, right? If you are with me, I will not interfere with what you do, and I will love my wife like A Long and Zhan Peng.
You and A-Long's wife are friends. We can buy a house here so you can have a companion. Isn't that good? Why do you have to leave? Why don't you give me a chance? "
Hearing this, Liang Lu shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I'm different from Xixi. I've tasted disappointment, despair, and seen hell. I was finally reborn, but I don't trust anyone, and I don't want to trust anyone. I don't want to rely on anyone but myself.
I have been married, pregnant, had miscarriages, and been abused. Commander Songchai, I really don't know why you are interested in me.
I said, if you just want to sleep with me on a whim, I'm willing to do it, and that still stands."
Liang Lu finished speaking, turned around, looked at him with her dark eyes, her face was very calm, without any of the timidity a woman would have when facing a man, and looked at him and asked, "Do you want it? I'm leaving tomorrow."
Song Cai looked down at her, his chest seemed to be stuck with a ball of cotton, neither rising nor falling, and the knuckles of his fists at his sides turned white.
"Lulu, I really like you. I don't just want to sleep with you, do you understand? I want you to be my wife and love you all my life."
"A lifetime?" Liang Lu suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with endless sadness. "A lifetime is too long, I can't see the end. I don't even think about tomorrow, what's the point of a lifetime?
Commander Songchai, if you don't have any physical needs, please leave. I'm tired and need to rest. I have a long-distance flight tomorrow and need to rest well."
"Lulu, do you have to do this? You are still so young and you will get married sooner or later. Why don't you consider me?"
Liang Lu didn't answer his question, but went straight to the bathroom and started taking off her clothes.
Song Cai looked at her heartbroken and indifferent look, and a strong sense of powerlessness came over him. He pursed his lips and
"Then you should have a good rest. We will talk about the rest tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he reached over, closed the bathroom door, and left dejectedly.
On the other side, Nanxi came out of the shower and lay on her side on the bed, absent-minded, allowing Balu to apply pregnancy oil on her. She didn't get angry even if he applied it to places where it shouldn't be applied from time to time.
"What are you thinking about, baby?" Baru's restless big hands tried several times, but she just twisted them or pushed him softly without scolding him. The man frowned and asked.
"Hubby, have you noticed that Song Cai kept looking at Lulu today? That look in his eyes is very strange."
"What's so strange?" Baru asked knowingly.
"It's just like... it's like..." Nanxi couldn't think of how to describe it for a moment. Her pretty eyebrows knitted together until she looked at her husband's handsome face. She suddenly said, "It's like when we first met, the way you looked at me was like you wanted to eat me up."
Nanxi suddenly understood, but also felt a little unbelievable. She sat up, took Balu's hand, and opened her black and white eyes as wide as grapes, "Husband, no way..."
"Why not?"
Baru raised an eyebrow and helped his fussy wife to lie down on the bed. "Turn over. You haven't wiped your behind yet."
"Oh, no, tell me, do you know something?" Nanxi reached out and took some tissue paper from the bedside to wipe his hands. "Or was this all planned by you?"
"I'm not that capable of manipulating people, honey. At first, I just didn't want to bring that woman to the military camp. I was afraid that if something happened, I wouldn't be able to explain it to you. Song Cai happened to be free, so I stuffed her into his car.
When Song Cai called and cursed me, I thought that since he was single, he might have a chance, but I didn't think too much about it. Who knew that Song Cai would really fall in love with Liang Lu and told me today that he had fallen in love with her and asked me to find a way to help him keep her. "
"Then you agreed?" Nanxi asked again.
"I'd like to agree, but if I want to keep him, the only way is to have the guards lock him up. Wouldn't you make a scene? I don't have the guts."
"Huh, what courage do you lack?" Nanxi glared at him. "Lulu has suffered too much. Any one of those sufferings can push a woman to the brink of despair. I'm really glad that she is strong, brave, and smart enough. Otherwise, how could she have gotten out of that desperate situation?
However, this also left a shadow on her. Lulu told me that she would never trust any man again in her life, nor would she believe in love again. For the rest of her life, she just wanted to live a good life and enjoy her freedom.
If conditions permit in the future, I will adopt a child, raise him/her well, let him/her feel the dedication and happiness of being a mother, and then I will have no regrets in this life.
"Hubby, you don't understand. A woman who says something like that is truly desperate. Song Cai probably has no chance. You should persuade him to give up. Although I also want Lulu to be happy. But a woman's happiness is something she creates herself, and it has nothing to do with men."
Song Cai is your brother and a good person. Don't let him get too deeply involved or he'll get hurt. Lulu will be returning to China tomorrow and everything will be settled."
