"I don't know if we're close or not, but we definitely know each other, Qi Huai... If you've really changed, then you'd better listen to what I told you before."
Just when things had finally eased up between the two, Tong Mengyun risked their relationship deteriorating again by bringing up the matter once more.
Miao Qihuai was stunned for a moment.
What did you say before?
What did they say?
Why doesn't she remember this?
Recalling the memories she received when she first transmigrated... Miao Qihuai frowned. Could the original owner's memories she received be incomplete?
She began, "Mengyun, what did you say to me before? After I got injured, I forgot a lot of things."
This excuse is actually quite useful.
Tong Mengyun tapped her head. Oh dear, she had forgotten something so important again.
Tong Mengyun said, "It's because before, I saw you getting very close to Battalion Commander Meng. Aren't you in the cultural troupe now? Cultural soldiers in the troupe can't just date casually. Plus, I've already heard a lot of rumors about you two..."
So I told you about this and asked you to be careful and keep your distance from Battalion Commander Meng, but you seem to have misunderstood and think I was trying to sow discord between you two..."
Miao Qihuai's face grew redder and redder as she listened. Had the original owner's love-struck mind become this serious?
She covered her ears and listened to Tong Mengyun finish speaking. Once there was no more noise, she slowly said, "Don't worry, I don't know him at all now. I won't say those kinds of things again!"
"Um!"
Tong Mengyun was also afraid that saying too much would offend the other party. Thinking of how Miao Qihuai had returned to normal recently, she nodded heavily to indicate that she understood.
"By the way, the cultural performance is coming up soon. Qi Huai, you need to practice your basic skills properly during this time. I heard that the higher-ups will give rewards to those who perform on stage this time, although the rewards are unknown."
The light in Miao Qihuai's eyes brightened and then dimmed. Practice, practice, and more practice. She hated dancing!
She gave a dry "oh," and then added, "Okay, I will, don't worry."
Tong Mengyun smiled helplessly; Qi Huai was just giving her the runaround again.
...
On the other side.
Unaware that Meng Hongshen was looking for Su Miaoyan, Lu Ting was being pulled into the family compound.
"Lu Ting, I'll show you a place today."
Lu Ting strode forward, but always maintained a distance from Su Miaoyan, making it appear as if he was being forced to walk forward.
"good."
Su Miaoyan decided to cook for herself tonight and first took Lu Ting to the backyard to take a look.
Of course, I also prepared my explanation, just like I would have said to those professors.
Lu Ting felt increasingly uneasy as he walked. He had thought his wife would lead him to a new place, but somehow, he ended up in his own yard.
The scenery in the courtyard remained the same as always. Lu Ting let Su Miaoyan hold his hand and asked, puzzled:
"Honey, aren't we going to the cafeteria for dinner tonight?"
"I'm not going. I'll cook today," Su Miaoyan said seriously.
Lu Ting was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, a large door had already appeared in front of him.
He said, "Honey, you can't cook. I'll do it. Besides, isn't this the backyard? Why are you..."
After Su Miaoyan took out her key and opened the door, she pushed it open directly. When Lu Ting saw the scene inside, he rubbed his eyes.
No way, he's not seeing things, is this still their yard?
Before he could ask, Su Miaoyan brought up the same excuse she had used to deal with the professors.
After rattling off a long explanation, he paused, then said, "Lu Ting, that's roughly what happened. I only found out after you went on your mission."
Lu Ting felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Oh well, his wife had studied abroad, so she must be right.
He stepped forward, took Su Miaoyan's hand, and picked a tomato. The tomato felt smooth and juicy to the touch, and its quality was obviously good.
He had never seen tomatoes like this before, given the scarcity of resources in the Gobi Desert.
But Lu Ting was still very worried. "Wife, you brought me here so you could use the vegetables we picked here to cook?"
Su Miaoyan walked up to him shyly and tugged at his clothes in a coquettish manner, "Lu Ting, actually I forgot to tell you something. During the time you were on a mission, I learned to cook. You've worked hard in training, so why don't you try my cooking tonight?"
Lu Ting couldn't bring himself to say the words of refusal. What he couldn't stand the most was his wife's coquettishness. Her voice was as sweet as honey, making his heart itch as if it were being scratched by a cat's claws!
He was worn down to no end!
No one expected that Chief Lu, who usually appears cold and aloof, would be so doting on his wife.
We'll give you the stars if you want the stars, and the moon if you want the moon.
Lu Ting could only nod helplessly, "Okay, but you need to be careful with the heat and don't get burned while preparing the food."
At the same time, he felt extremely guilty. His wife, such a frail girl who had never lifted a finger before, had actually learned to cook during the months he was away. He didn't know how much she had suffered.
No, she must treat her daughter-in-law even better!
When Su Miaoyan got Lu Ting's approval, a little excited person inside her took flight. Great! She could still cook without ruining her image, killing two birds with one stone!
Once I've entered the kitchen this time, Lu Ting definitely won't say anything if I go in there again in front of him.
Although there are some things that I don't have to do if I let men do them, the food made in this space is really delicious!
She wanted Lu Ting to try it too.
Su Miaoyan was overjoyed. She hugged Lu Ting's shoulders, looked up at her empty head, and coughed twice. "Lu Ting, I know, I will definitely not hurt myself!"
Lu Ting helplessly stroked the head of the person in his arms. Her sweet fragrance and softness made him a little restless. Thinking of what happened last night, his ears turned red.
Su Miaoyan also thought of what happened last night. Anyway, there was no one around, and Lu Ting was her rightful husband, so what was wrong with kissing him?
Thinking this, Su Miaoyan simply did just that. She stood on tiptoe and gave Lu Ting a quick peck on the cheek before releasing him and walking toward the vegetable garden.
"Lu Ting, let's pick vegetables together, come on, come on."
The warm touch sent shivers down his spine like an electric shock. Like a dazed youth, Lu Ting touched the spot where he had just been kissed, his unfocused pupils refocusing.
He paused for several seconds before saying in a hoarse voice, "I'm here, my wife."
Su Miaoyan picked a tomato, planning to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and also picked an eggplant, planning to make sweet and sour eggplant. As for the rest... well, she was still thinking about it.
