Scented by the soap, Lu Ting quickly finished washing up, placed the basin under the sink to store the water, dried himself with a towel, put on his pajamas vest and shorts, put the soap back in its original place, and went out.
He slung the towel over his shoulder and walked toward the living room.
Almost as soon as I got close to the living room, I saw a snow-white figure eating corn.
Hearing the noise, Su Miaoyan turned around.
Upon seeing that it was Lu Ting, she immediately moved aside to make room for him.
"Are you done washing?"
Su Miaoyan finished eating the corn and threw it into the trash can.
Lu Ting gave a low "hmm," his face still burning with the heat of the moment, and a wave of scalding heat emanated from him.
Su Miaoyan shuddered and pointed to what was left on the table, "This half is what I left for you."
It turned out to be half of the remaining corn and fruit.
Lu Ting picked up the food next to him. "No need, you can eat this. Oh, there's another serving. If you can't finish it, just leave it there."
"Okay, then I'll eat the rest." Su Miaoyan picked up the leftovers and looked at the rice next to her. "I can't eat this rice."
She quietly nudged the rice towards Lu Ting.
A smile appeared on Lu Ting's face as he finished the rest of his meal.
During the meal, neither of them spoke.
When it was time to clear the dishes, Lu Ting spoke up, "We got our marriage certificate, but we haven't had a banquet yet. I'll ask my supervisor after training tomorrow. How many tables do you want?"
The number of tables a woman plays determines her financial standing.
Su Miaoyan didn't care much about this. She thought for a while and said, "I just came to the military region and I'm only a little familiar with Bian Laoshi. As for the rest, you can handle them."
We'll only host one table for the number of people, avoiding extravagance and waste, so as not to be accused of promoting capitalist practices.
Lu Ting gave a soft "hmm," understanding what she meant.
But his intention was still not to embarrass her.
"Professor Bian and Professor Xue will definitely come. I'm quite familiar with Ji Hongwen and Dai Yong'an; I'll talk to them during training tomorrow. As for the rest..."
Lu Ting said, "There are some I'm not familiar with, but I can send them invitations. Whether they come or not is their business."
Su Miaoyan agreed, "Okay, it's settled then. So how do you cook the meal?"
Lu Ting had already thought this through: "I'll handle it. You can help with the rest, just don't overwork yourself."
Su Miaoyan felt a sweet warmth in her heart and said softly, "Thank you, Lu Ting."
Thinking of her appearance during the day, Lu Ting's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't be so polite with me. We've already registered our marriage. It's only right for husband and wife to help each other."
"Okay, sure."
Although we said there was no need to be polite, we still had to go through the proper procedures.
She acknowledged the inconvenience, but she also made sure to say thank you without hesitation.
Su Miaoyan finished eating the corn, threw it in the trash can, and happily ran back to her bedroom to do her skincare routine.
Lu Ting then tidied up some areas of the house.
While tidying up, I noticed that many places were very clean, and I immediately turned my attention to the woman tinkering in the bedroom.
He paused for a few seconds, then continued what he was doing.
I don't know how much time passed.
The thick, wavy clouds slowly receded.
Instead, the darkness of night gradually descended.
It gradually got dark.
The military compound was brightly lit, the courtyard was quiet and elegant, and the bedroom lights were on.
Su Miaoyan sat on the edge of the bed, feeling somewhat nervous.
It seems like I'll be sleeping with Lu Ting tonight?
She clenched her fists slightly, her palms sweating slightly. Although Lu Ting had a great physique, but...
Just then, Lu Ting came out of another room carrying a mop. Seeing her sitting blankly in her seat, he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
Su Miaoyan suddenly raised her head, her fair and jade-like face resembling the finest mutton-fat jade pendant.
She said, "It's nothing, I was just wondering why you're still not asleep."
Cough, cough cough.
Lu Ting almost coughed. He knew she didn't mean it that way, but the thought of them sharing a bed tonight made him overthink it.
He scratched his head sheepishly, "I... I'll go sleep next door."
Although he was married and still in the prime of his life, he could tell that his wife was a little nervous.
Since that's the case, why doesn't he speak first?
Su Miaoyan was stunned, her expression slightly surprised.
Her eyes were a little red.
A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. "Fine, if I'd known you weren't coming, I wouldn't have left the light on."
Lu Ting was stunned.
No, no!
Did she misunderstand something after he just said that?
Lu Ting immediately went into the room and explained, "I didn't mean anything by it. I was just afraid you wouldn't agree."
Su Miaoyan turned around and said, "Isn't it normal for husband and wife to sleep in the same bed? What's there to be willing or unwilling about?"
Seeing that she hadn't thought of it that way at all, Lu Ting took a deep breath, his gaze firm.
"Okay, then I won't sleep in the next room."
Su Miaoyan nodded, lifted the blanket, and lay down.
Find a comfortable spot and cover yourself with the blanket.
Lu Ting felt his heart pounding wildly. He took off his shoes and lay down inside as well.
The bed was warm and cozy, and it even seemed to carry the scent of the girl next to me.
They usually slept in the military dormitory, a group of grown men crammed together, the dormitory filled with the strong smell of masculine stubble.
At this moment, a fragrant girl suddenly appeared next to him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Su Miaoyan waited for a long time but Lu Ting didn't turn off the light, so she asked in confusion, "Lu Ting, aren't you going to turn off the light?"
The girl's voice sounded a little tired, as if she were exhausted, and it also had a slightly rising tone at the end.
Lu Ting snapped out of his daze almost instantly, replied "okay," and got up to turn off the light.
The bedroom was dark, with only faint moonlight filtering through the gaps in the curtains and spilling onto the soft quilt.
Lu Ting lay on his side, exhausted from three days of work, but he couldn't fall asleep.
He tossed and turned, the even, gentle breathing beside him like tiny claws scratching at his brain.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but just as a wave of sleepiness washed over him and Lu Ting was about to fall asleep, something soft suddenly rested on his chest.
Lu Ting opened his eyes as if electrocuted, and looked to the side. The girl's face, as smooth as a peeled egg, suddenly loomed large in front of him.
The person in question had no idea what she was doing at that moment. As if she had encountered warmth, she instinctively snuggled into Lu Ting's arms.
Lu Ting took a deep breath, but didn't want to stop him, afraid of waking him up.
He could only watch helplessly as the girl grabbed his arm and rubbed against his chest.
Her smooth, white legs, beneath her nightgown, wrapped around his waist, holding him tightly.
The soft touch pressed against his chest, and Lu Ting felt like he was about to explode.
He took a deep breath and tiptoed out of bed to get the water from the bedside table to ease his inner turmoil.
But who would have thought that just as one of his feet was about to fall...
