the next day,
The morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a few thin rays of light on the floor. Xiao Lang woke up, and Chen Xiaoru was still sleeping soundly in his arms. Her long eyelashes, like two small fans, quietly covered her eyelids. He couldn't help but lower his head and gently kissed her forehead.
"Xiao Ru, wake up." Xiao Lang's voice was very soft, with a hoarseness from just waking up.
Chen Xiaoru hummed, turned over, and snuggled into his arms like a lazy kitten, rubbing her cheek against his chest and continued to sleep.
Looking at her like this, Xiao Lang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and his heart softened: Why is this daughter-in-law so lovable?
He gently pinched Chen Xiaoru's cheek, which was soft and smooth, and the touch was so good that it was addictive. "Little lazy cat, get up. Didn't we agree to go shopping today? If you don't get up now, you won't have a delicious breakfast."
Chen Xiaoru's eyelashes trembled, as if she was trying to open her eyes, but in the end she couldn't resist the invasion of sleepiness.
Xiao Lang was not in a hurry. He just held her quietly, feeling the warmth in his arms. After a long while, he spoke again: "Xiao Ru, I'll count to three. If you don't get up, I'll... I'll tickle you!"
"one……"
"two……"
Xiao Lang deliberately dragged out his voice and saw that Chen Xiaoru's brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
"Two and a half..."
"Two point eight..."
"Two point nine..."
Just as Xiao Lang was about to shout "three", Chen Xiaoru suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed his rebellious hand, and muttered with a thick nasal voice: "Stop it! I'll get up, I'll get up, isn't it?"
Xiao Lang laughed heartily. Looking at her dazed look, he thought it was adorable. "Okay, okay, if you don't want to get up, then we won't go shopping today. Let's go back to sleep."
"No!" Chen Xiaoru was now completely sober. She sat up and glared at him. "We agreed to go shopping! You're not keeping your word!"
"Who said I didn't keep my word?" Xiao Lang blinked innocently, "It was you who didn't get up."
"You..." Chen Xiaoru was so angry that she stomped her feet and puffed her cheeks like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
But she couldn't do anything about this scoundrel. After all, she just liked to stay in bed. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and, with some reluctance, slowly moved out of bed.
She took out a light blue floral dress from the closet and tried it on. This dress was bought by Xiao Lang when he accompanied her shopping last time. She fell in love with it at first sight. At that time, Xiao Lang even praised her for looking good in it.
"Xiao Lang, do you think I look good in this?" Chen Xiaoru changed into her skirt and turned around in front of Xiao Lang. The hem of her skirt spread out like petals, with a bit of girlish playfulness.
Xiao Lang's eyes widened instantly. His wife usually dressed rather plainly and rarely wore skirts. The moment she suddenly put on a skirt, she was like a completely different person.
The light blue floral patterns make her skin look even whiter, her waist is slender, and her legs are long and thin. She looks like... just like a little fairy!
Xiao Lang felt his throat was a little dry. He stood up and hugged Chen Xiaoru into his arms. His voice was low and a bit domineering: "Wife, can we change into another set?"
Chen Xiaoru was startled by his sudden enthusiasm and subconsciously shrank back: "No, I want to wear this! Didn't you say it looks good too?"
"It's pretty, but..." Xiao Lang was a little annoyed. How could he have forgotten how seductive this girl is in a skirt! If she walked on the street, wouldn't all the boys' eyes be glued to her? He didn't want others to see his wife looking so beautiful!
Chen Xiaoru had no idea of Xiao Lang's inner thoughts. She broke free from Xiao Lang's embrace and ran out of the bedroom like a happy little bird: "If you don't want to change, then don't change! I'm going to wash up!"
Xiao Lang looked at her cheerful figure and shook his head helplessly. He really regretted it! If he had known earlier, he would not have bought her this dress! Now, he shot himself in the foot. His wife was dressed beautifully, but he could only stand by and worry, afraid that others would see her.
He quickly followed her out, thinking to himself, when I go out later, I must keep a close eye on my wife and not let those brats take advantage of me! It would be best…it would be best to buy her a big hat to cover her face, so that only I can see it!
The more Xiao Lang thought about it, the more he thought this was a good idea. He couldn't help but curl his lips into a smug smile. But then he thought again, this hat didn't seem very safe. What if it blew away in the wind? Or... just buy a veil? No, no, it would be too strange to wear a veil in this hot weather...
Xiao Lang was lost in thought as he followed Chen Xiaoru into the bathroom. He watched her combing her hair in front of the mirror, feeling so conflicted!
They both packed up and prepared to leave.
It was still early, and the army had a car going to town every day to purchase supplies, so we could get a ride. Xiao Lang held Chen Xiaoru's hand and walked slowly to the parking lot.
Chen Xiaoru was still a little dazed, her head nodding like a dozing chick. Xiao Lang found it funny and deliberately slowed down his pace, letting her lean on him for comfort.
When they arrived, many military wives were already waiting. Everyone greeted Xiao Lang with a smile. Xiao Lang was usually serious in the army, but now he was unusually gentle with the family members.
"Captain Xiao, are you going to town today too?" A military wife wearing a floral shirt asked with a smile, but her eyes kept glancing at Chen Xiaoru.
