Chapter 31 I like it and can't control it
He was very good at cooking, but he never had the chance. It was usually Zhang Hongying or Lu Chun'e who cooked at home, not him. Because the whole family thought he was a spendthrift and was too wasteful, they usually didn't let him touch these things.
When Wen Wan arrived, he had just finished pulling the noodles in his hand.
The little girl peeked at him from the kitchen door: "Lu Dongping, you can cook too!"
"Of course!" Lu Dongping was amazed by her surprised tone: "So, it doesn't matter if you can't cook, I can!"
After saying that, he went to wash his hands, then turned back and asked her, "Do you want to bask in the sun outside or warm yourself by the fire inside?"
"That's fine. It'll only take a while for dinner." Wen Wan replied and looked at him quietly. Seeing that he looked normal, just like he said yesterday, if she agreed, then everything would be fine. If she didn't agree, then it would be the same as before.
I was thinking too much.
It's strange, how does this person manage to control himself so freely? Can you teach her?
Lu Dongping served her rice. Knowing how much she ate, he didn't serve her too much today. He put two poached eggs at the bottom, half a spoonful of noodles on top, some vegetable leaves, and a little soup.
He put her on the bench and said, "Be careful, it's hot!"
At that moment, Wen Wan felt that he was just giving in to the child.
I used a spoon to dig and found something unusual inside the lunch box.
Two poached eggs lay quietly on the bottom.
She was stunned for a moment and looked up at Lu Dongping. He was probably very hungry and had already started eating.
Being stared at like that by him, the food got stuck in my throat and took me a long time to swallow it.
"What's wrong?"
Wen Wan picked up the hot lunch box and said, "Lu Dongping, I can't finish it."
Lu Dongping frowned. Can’t you finish such a small amount of food?
"Then eat as much as you can. If you can't finish it, leave it there and I'll eat it."
Wen Wan didn't want him to eat her leftovers anymore. She had refused when she brought it up yesterday. She felt it was weird to let someone eat her leftovers again.
She walked forward a few steps and directly took out an egg from the bowl and gave it to Lu Dongping.
Before Lu Dongping could come to his senses, he heard her say, "Lu Dongping, I'm just here to share a meal with you. You're giving me flour and eggs for only ten cents. You're going to lose a lot of money."
Lu Dongping smiled and said nothing.
The food smelled delicious, but he couldn't feel happy.
After dinner, Wen Wan washed her lunch box herself and asked him, "Aren't you going to the commune today? Or are you going up the mountain to chop firewood?"
Lu Dongping nodded: "Would you like to go up the mountain to chop firewood?"
"You're not going? I don't have a backpack."
Lu Dongping locked the door and said, "I have one at home, about the same size as yours. It was carried by Chun'e before, and now Lu Donglin is carrying it." As he spoke, he pulled it out from under the straw shed and gave her a meaningful look: "Is it because you can't go up the mountain without a backpack, or do you not want to go up the mountain with me?"
Wen Wan lowered her head and swished her feet on the ground: "Both."
Lu Dongping nodded: "Okay, I got it. Let's not go up the mountain. I'll go to work. You, you go back to the educated youth site. Just come early in the afternoon." After saying that, he put the backpack he found on the ground, took the hatchet and left.
"Oh!" Wen Wan responded. Lu Dongping probably didn't hear it either because he had already walked away.
Wen Wan stood there without moving, looking around the yard.
The yard of Lu Mingjiang's house is quite spacious. The front of the three main rooms is a tiled house, and the back half is covered with thatch and stone slabs. The kitchen is also a stone slab house, separated from Lu Minghai by a wall, and the kitchen is back to back.
On the other side of the yard was a thatched shed, the open kind, with firewood stored inside.
The entrance is the toilet, and next to it is a very low stone house. There was a lot of panting sound inside, probably because someone had been fed.
After looking around, she squatted down on the spot and thought about what had just happened.
Lu Dongping must be angry, right?
She was very rude in rejecting him last night, and just now she refused to go up the mountain with him. If it were her, she would also be angry.
She was wondering if it was possible that she liked Lu Dongping.
It has been less than a month since she came to Lujiazui to work in the queue. Although she has had a lot of contact with Lu Dongping, the time is not short enough for her to develop feelings for a gay man.
But Lu Dongping still left a good impression in her mind.
She remembered the night she arrived. She was wrapped up so tightly that only her eyes were exposed. The educated youth along the way looked at her carrying so many bags and basically no one spoke to her.
She shouted and Lu Dongping helped her carry the things down.
No one cared about her along the way, no one noticed how much she was carrying or whether she could keep up. It was Lu Dongping who walked a long way and ran back to pick her up.
At that time, they didn't know each other. It was dark and they couldn't see each other clearly, and they didn't even know each other's names.
So, actually he is a very good person!
And then, there was nothing else to do. Lu Dongping, who had been walking for a long time, suddenly ran back. He looked at her with a slight breath, reached out and grabbed a bamboo rake and ran up the mountain.
Without saying a word.
Wen Wan didn't know what was wrong with him. He pulled her so hard that she stumbled and ran up the hill behind her in one breath. They stopped at the place where they chopped wood the day before. As soon as Lu Dongping loosened his hand, her legs softened and she sat down.
Lu Dongping was extremely fast. He stretched out his hand and sat on the ground even faster than her. She sat on him all of a sudden.
Lu Dongping lay on the slope covered with dead leaves, panting carelessly, and looked at her: "Little thing, my life has been planted here with you."
He really felt a little uncomfortable at that time, even more uncomfortable than when he was rejected last night, so he left in a hurry.
When he walked to the beam at the back, he found that Wen Wan had not left. She was circling at the entrance of the yard, and then she squatted down, as if she was crying.
Then, his feet no longer obeyed his head, and he ran back in one breath like a lunatic.
Wen Wan didn't cry, but he was the one who was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He found that he almost didn't recognize himself now, and was like a lunatic.
Wen Wan sat on him, then stood up in a flash.
No, I didn't stand up.
Lu Dongping hooked the cotton coat with his fingers.
She had just stood up a little when she was pulled back again. If she hadn't reacted quickly and supported herself on the ground with her hands, she would have fallen flat on her face.
"Lu Dongping, what are you doing? Let go!"
"Don't let go!" He bravely stretched out his arms and hugged her whole body in his arms.
The sky was his blanket and the ground was his bed. After just a hug, he felt that he could close his eyes even if he died.
Wen Wan was so angry that she hit him with both hands and kicked him: "Lu Dongping, you scoundrel, you hooligan, let me go, let me go!" When she couldn't struggle anymore, she started crying, angry and scared.
Just now she thought Lu Dongping was a nice guy, but now he starts bullying people.
What's good about it? Not good at all!
When she cried, Lu Dongping felt distressed, and he was even more reluctant to let her go.
"Wanwan, hit me, hit me hard, even bite me, I won't let go. I just want to hold you like this, just for a while."
"I know you're from a big city. Not only are you good-looking, but you also come from a good family and are cultured. There are a lot of people who like you. You can pick the best one out of a million. I wouldn't be worthy of you even if there were ten of them. But I still want to give it a try, like in a dream, dreaming that maybe it will work out?"
"Our family isn't wealthy, we're quite poor. I can't promise you anything, I can't give you anything, and yet I still say I like you. Actually, that's pretty selfish and annoying, isn't it? But love is such a mess. It just comes and goes, and there's nothing I can do about it."
"I didn't want to tell you so soon last night. I wanted to delay it a little longer, so that you could slowly rely on me and accept me. But you asked, and I didn't want to lie to you."
"We haven't known each other for long, but you may not know that on the day you went to the commune to buy something, you called me softly, and my heart felt like it was collapsing, and I couldn't let go."
"It's fine if you don't agree to be with me, or if you don't want to be with me, but can we please put the past behind us and forget about what happened last night? We can do the same thing in the future as we did before. I won't force you, but can you please not stay so far away from me?"
I love it so much I can't help myself!
After saying what he needed to say, he stretched out his calloused hand and gently wiped Wen Wan's eyes.
This was the closest he had ever been to the young educated youth, probably the only time he had ever been closest in his life. He was very cautious, as if he was touching his own eyeballs, afraid that they would break if he used a little force.
"Don't cry, I don't want to take advantage of you, nor do I want to be a hooligan to you, I just want to tell you what I want to say in my heart."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but as soon as he did, Wen Wan cried even harder.
What nonsense are you talking about? Just use your mouth to speak. Why do you hold on to her and say that you didn’t take advantage of her? Lu Dongping, are you a dog?
Lu Dongping made the person cry and couldn't comfort her anymore, so he felt panicked.
"Don't cry, or you can hit me, I promise I won't move."
Wen Wan moved to the side a little, putting some distance between her and him: "Don't talk to me, I don't want to talk to you."
Lu Dongping felt that the game was over and didn't want to talk to himself anymore. He had just made things worse and really annoyed the other person.
Seeing Wen Wan crying, he also wanted to cry.
He thought about it and finally mustered up the courage to reach out. This time he didn't hug her, but sat beside her and gently patted Wenwan's back to comfort her.
When he was with Lu Chun'e, this was how he comforted her when she made him cry.
"Lu Dongping!" Wen Wan called him. Her usually soft and sweet voice had changed now, becoming a little hoarse with crying tone.
"When I was down there just now, I was thinking, you're a good person."
"Hmm!" Lu Dongping didn't dare to respond easily. He thought that the little girl might not say anything good next.
"Then you stopped being a human being. How could you do this? How could you do this and that just because you like it, and touch someone?"
"I was wrong! I swear, unless you agree, I will never do that again. I will keep my distance from you and not have any physical contact with you!"
Wen Wan snorted twice. "Once words are spoken, they can be taken back. How can you pretend that you didn't say anything? You are so childish. Are you trying to appease yourself or me? The moment I see you, I think about what you said to me last night about wanting to date. How can I pretend that you didn't say anything? How can it be the same as before?"
Lu Dongping sat there, took back his hands, held his head and said nothing.
He really regretted it and shouldn't have been so direct.
