Chapter 231 The only one in each other's life

"Yeah." Lu Jingzhen seemed to have sensed something, and looked at her quietly, with a tenderness in his eyes that he had never shown to outsiders.

When the words came to her lips, Xia Qingqing felt a little awkward. Should she ask directly, "Do you like me?", "Do you have me in your heart?", "Do you love me?" and so on?

These words may sound common to modern people, but this was the 1970s, and couples rarely held hands when walking on the street. Everyone was very subtle in expressing their feelings, and being too straightforward would make people uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, Xia Qingying did not ask directly whether she liked me or loved me, but changed to a more tactful way, looked at Lu Jingchen and asked:

"Do you have a girl you like?"

After asking, she did not shyly avoid the question, but raised her eyes and kept looking at Lu Jingchen, with an undisguised expectation in her eyes.

When Lu Jingchen heard her question, his expression paused for a moment, and then he uttered a word clearly and firmly:

"Yes."

Xia Qingxu's heart seemed to be gently stroked by a feather, and ripples appeared in an instant. She looked at him and continued to ask:

"Then...what do you like about her?"

Lu Jingchen did not avoid her gaze at all, and answered seriously:

"I like everything."

"Do you only like her in this life?"

"Yes."

"Will you never like anyone else?"

"Yes." Lu Jingchen's eyes were burning, and then he uttered four words seriously:

"The only one in this life."

The four words "only in this life" struck Xia Qingying's heartstrings. Lu Jingying's character was so indifferent and he never expressed his emotions. This was probably a love word he said with great determination.

Xia Qingying knew that a man like Lu Jingying valued his promises to the country and others. Since he could make such a promise to her, he promised her his whole life.

She knew that these questions were a bit greedy, but who wouldn't want to be together for the rest of their lives?

At this moment, Xia Qingying's heart was filled with emotion, and she looked at Lu Jingying with warm and pious eyes.

She subconsciously raised her hand, and then gently placed it on his palm. Her fair and slender fingers slowly slid down from between his fingers until their palms were facing each other, and their fingers were interlocked.

"Only in this life." She gave him the promise he had just given to herself, exactly as it was!

The two looked at each other, and at this moment they knew each other's feelings.

Xia Qingying looked up at him calmly, and above the clear jawline was his thin lips, which were very nice in shape and soft. Don't ask her how she knew, she had secretly tried it last night. After staring for a while, she pursed her lips unconsciously, then slowly raised her head and moved closer to him.

Just when her lips were about to touch his, Lu Jingzhen suddenly lifted up his body, said "wait", then quickly got out of bed and ran out of the room.

Xia Qingxing was left confused. Was he... unwilling to kiss her, or was she too proactive and made him a little uncomfortable?

She asked for a kiss and he ran away? ! Xia Qingxing felt a sense of frustration in her heart.

Lu Jingzhen took a few steps to the kitchen, hurriedly took a cup from the washstand, scooped a cup of water from the water tank next to him, picked up the toothbrush, squeezed toothpaste on it, and quickly brushed his teeth.

He just realized that Xia Qingxing wanted to kiss him, and was about to kiss him immediately.

But suddenly he realized that he hadn't brushed his teeth. He had experienced how bad the mouths of soldiers who didn't brush their teeth tasted when they spoke during the morning training.

Now that he didn't brush his teeth, his mouth inevitably tasted bad. If he gave his wife a bad experience again, she would definitely dislike him.

The last time they did it, he found that his wife was passionate and bold about it, very open, and gave him an experience he had never had before.

But afterwards, his wife didn't seem to be satisfied with his performance. He was a little shocked and had always cared about this matter. When he realized that he was going to be intimate with her, he would pay special attention to the experience he gave her, for fear that she would say she didn't feel anything again.

When he finished brushing his teeth and quickly returned to the room, he found that his wife had already gotten up, the curtains were open, and she was tidying up the quilt.

She was wearing his white shirt, bending over the quilt, with a pair of legs swaggering out, white and straight...

Her clothes like this made him a little distracted, and he couldn't help but hug her from behind, holding her in his arms, resting his chin on her neck, and rubbing her skin with his lips intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to continue the intimacy with her that he had just failed to complete.

The next second, Xia Qingxi "retaliated" by pushing his head away from her neck, turned around and glared at him and said:

"You do it."

That arrogant expression clearly told him: 'Once you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again.' After saying that, Xia Qingxi ignored him and turned around and walked out quickly. Lu Jingchen

did not pull her back. The tradition and etiquette in his bones prevented him from doing things that were sexually explicit in broad daylight. Looking at her back, for the first time, he desperately hoped that it would get dark soon.

Xia Qingxi walked out of the room, but did not go to wash up. Instead, she put on a pair of Lu Jingchen's pants, walked to the yard, and took back the clothes that she had changed and washed last night.

The temperature was high now, and the clothes were dry. After she put away the clothes, she immediately went back to the master bedroom and changed quickly.

First, she didn't want to have the same experience as last night. If someone came to visit again, she would be embarrassed if she was dressed like this.

Second, she just saw herself in the mirror wearing only a white shirt. She did look like she was deliberately tempting people to commit a crime. No wonder in the movies she watched before, the heroine always wore the hero's shirt and the hero couldn't resist the temptation. Now it seems that art really comes from life. This "uniform temptation" is probably something that no man can resist.

When Xia Qingxiang changed her clothes and came out to wash, Lu was surprised to stand behind her. Seeing that she was no longer wearing her white shirt, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes. He naturally didn't understand, this is the so-called "uniform temptation", but somehow, he thought she looked particularly good in her white shirt.

There was no food prepared at home, and after washing up, the two decided to go to the army canteen for dinner.

The old family compound was indeed more comfortable to live in than the new family building, but it was really far away. Lu Jingzhen walked fast and it took him about ten minutes to walk there, but in order to take care of Xia Qingxi, he deliberately slowed down his pace, and it took them about twenty minutes to get there.

It was already late when they came, and there were only steamed bread and porridge left. Lu Jingzhen asked Xia Qingliu to sit aside while he went to get some.

The two of them had a simple breakfast with porridge, and Xia Qingliu went to the original dormitory with Lu Jingzhen. When they had packed up, Lu Jingzhen asked her to rest in the room for a while while he went back to the camp.

After Lu Jingzhen left, Xia Qingliu went to the military service center and bought enamel basins, towels, soap, etc., and put them in the same place as when she came. When

Lu Jingxie arrived at the battalion, Mai Yajun was already waiting there with an apology letter. He looked like he must have had a hard time last night, with dark circles under his eyes and a bit of a slump.

When he saw Lu Jingxie coming, he immediately perked up, saluted, and shouted, "Hello, Lu Tuan." Then he handed over the apology letter in his hand.
