Chapter 8 Didn't he come to have a blind date with me?
He Shanshan was a little flustered, wondering if he had heard the harsh words she had just said. If he had heard them, would it leave a bad impression on him? When He Shanshan was thinking wildly, she saw Lu Jingchen just standing there indifferently, saying nothing.
"I think he didn't hear it." He Shanshan comforted herself and hurriedly said,
"I'll go into the room and change my clothes." Then she
walked around Lu Jingchen and quickly returned to her room.
When Xia Qingying came out with the water, Lu Jingqie had already sat back on the chair in the living room. She brought the water into the room, soaked the clothes to be washed, combed her hair again, and walked out of the room with two hot water bottles. She filled the two hot water bottles with water from the aluminum kettles on the coal stove in the yard and sent them back to Li Qiulian's house.
Li Qiulian took the kettles and found that they were full of water. She asked in confusion:
"You didn't use the water?"
"I did. I thought your family might also need hot water, so I filled it up and sent it back." Xia Qingying replied.
Li Qiulian didn't expect that she could still think of this level. She was relieved in her heart, thinking that the water was not given in vain.
"Thank you, Aunt Li. I'll go back now." Xia Qingxi was really grateful. Li Qiulian was one of the few people in this courtyard who was kind to her original self.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Qiulian's daughter Mai Miao seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end she couldn't help but ask:
"Did you braid your hair yourself?"
"Yes." Xia Qingxi answered openly. In fact, she had already discovered that Mai Miao was constantly peeking at her hairstyle.
"That..." Mai Miao hesitated for a moment and asked a little embarrassedly: "Can you teach me?"
She knew that she had been rude to Xia Qingxi before, and now she was asking for help, which was naturally a bit awkward, but Xia Qingxi's hairstyle was really beautiful, so she didn't care whether she would lose face or not.
"No problem. In addition to this, I can also weave many other styles. I can teach you when the time comes." Xia Qingxi said generously, not caring about her previous attitude towards her.
"Really?" Mai Miao's eyes lit up. She didn't expect Xia Qingxi to put aside the past and agree so readily. She liked her even more.
"How about this, I'll come to your house after work tomorrow to teach you." Xia Qingxi thought for a while and said.
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you." Mai Miao nodded repeatedly.
After the two of them had agreed, Xia Qingxi waved goodbye to her. After she left, Mai Miao suddenly turned to Li Qiulian and said,
"Mom, do you think she seems a little different from before?"
In fact, even if Mai Miao didn't say it, Li Qiulian had noticed it. Although she always felt that Xia Qingxi was not worthy of Lu Jingchen and disliked what she had done before, the two of them had obtained their marriage certificate and were a family. She still hoped that they could live a good life together.

After delivering the hot pot, Xia Qingxi returned home and found that Lu Jingchen was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed. The strictness of the army was engraved in his bones, and even so, his posture was upright.
After sitting on the train for such a long time, he must be really tired. Seeing him like this, Xia Qingxi knew that she had occupied his room and left him with no place to rest. She felt a little sorry, so she walked over and patted him gently, lowered her head and said softly:
"I've changed the sheets, you go to the room and rest for a while."
Lu Jingqie, who was awakened, opened his eyes and saw Xia Qingqie's delicate and beautiful face. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
"Go to bed and rest for a while." Xia Qingqie saw him wake up and said again. Although her voice was soft, her expression was generous and not shy at all.
"Yeah." Lu Jingqie woke up and responded without refusing.
At this time, He Shanshan, who had finally chosen her clothes and changed into them, came out. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Xia Qingxing patting her blind date with her hands and talking to him with her head down. She immediately got angry.
She wanted to rush out and teach Xia Qingxing a lesson, but she held back when she thought that it might leave a bad impression in front of the man. The next second, she saw the man stand up and walk straight to Xia Qingxing's room.
How could she bear it any longer? She strode in front of the man, blocked his way, and asked angrily:
"What were you doing in her room?" Without waiting for him to speak, she turned around and pointed her spear at Xia Qingxi, and said like a machine gun:
"Xia Qingxi, you are so good, your own man doesn't want you, so you are thinking about other people's men. I was wondering why you dressed up so seductively today. It turns out you came to seduce my man, so shameless!"
Looking at He Shanshan who looked like a shrew and listening to her dirty words, Lu Chen couldn't help but frowned and said in a disgusted and cold voice:
"If you can't talk, shut up! If you can't shut up, go back to your own home!"
After hearing this, Xia Qingxing finally understood that He Shanshan didn't know Lu Jingzhen and thought he was her blind date.
He Shanshan was scolded and froze in her place. She had never been humiliated like this before, and the person she loved was her favorite. She couldn't stand it anymore. Tears welled up in her eyes. She pointed at Lu Jingzhen and said to He Xia Qingxing:
"You...you..."
At this time, Wang Mingfang walked into the house with a few lunch boxes, followed by her son Lu Lidong and daughter-in-law Yao Hongmei who was holding a child.
When He Shanshan saw her mother, she felt as if she had found a backer. She instantly gained confidence and pulled Wang Mingfang over, pointing at Lu Jingqie and Xia Qingxi and saying,
"Mom, you're back. The two of them teamed up to bully me. Just now, Xia Qingxi seduced him in front of me. If I hadn't stopped them, they would have gone to the room together..."
He Shanshan, who was furious, kept accusing them, not noticing that the few people who had just returned all looked embarrassed.
"You kid, they are a couple, why can't they go into the same room?" Wang Mingfang quickly pulled the irritable He Shanshan over and reminded her.
"Couple?" He Shanshan looked surprised, and blurted out at Lu Jingchen: "Isn't he here for a blind date with me?"
