The two returned home.
Jiang Yue opened the door, and Lu Jingnian smelled the aroma of food.
He looked at Jiang Yue in surprise. Before the wedding, Grandma Jiang had specifically told him that Jiang Yue had never done any housework at home, and that she didn't know how to cook or clean. She asked him to be more understanding of Jiang Yue.
"Go wash your hands first, I'll go to the kitchen to heat up the food."
Jiang Yue took off her coat and went into the kitchen. The medicinal food was still warming on the stove. Jiang Yue first brought out the medicinal food, and then began to quickly heat up the dishes.
Lu Jingnian washed his hands and came over to help, only to see his wife skillfully and efficiently heating up the dishes. Jiang Yue was very fast, and in no time all the dishes were heated up.
"I'll take it."
Lu Jingnian was afraid she would get burned, so he wouldn't let her do the work of serving the dishes.
Three dishes and a soup, plus a medicinal meal, would have been a very sumptuous meal for an ordinary family in the 1980s.
"Try the medicinal food I made, is it good?"
Jiang Yue first served Lu Jingnian a bowl of medicinal food, saying, "You have to finish all of this."
Lu Jingnian looked at her, then glanced down at the dishes on the table, and pursed his lips. "Did you make all of this?" He looked at Jiang Yue, his eyes filled with a complicated expression.
The way she was heating up the food in the kitchen just now didn't seem like someone who had never done housework before; rather, it seemed like she was very good at housework and did it skillfully.
Although Lu Jingnian hadn't had much contact with Jiang Yue, and each time he did, he was bullied, he still knew Jiang Yue to some extent. He figured Jiang Yue probably couldn't do housework.
Oh no, I was so focused on helping Lu Jingnian recover that I forgot Jiang Yue can't cook.
Meeting Lu Jingnian's scrutinizing gaze, Jiang Yue's heart trembled slightly, and she gave a fawning yet slightly guilty smile, "These dishes were indeed all made by me."
As she spoke, she immediately dragged a chair closer to Lu Jingnian, took his hand, and said sincerely, "Lu Jingnian, please don't be angry if I tell you the truth."
"These are all skills I secretly learned for Pei Hengzhi."
The answer was as expected, but Lu Jingnian still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Jiang Yue say it. He shouldn't have been angry.
Compared to before when Jiang Yue would whip him whenever she saw him, isn't this much better now?
Lu Jingnian felt he had been a bit greedy.
"It's not like you did anything wrong, so why did you secretly learn it?" Lu Jingnian asked, letting Jiang Yue hold his hand.
"Because I'm afraid I'm too stupid, and the food I cook will taste terrible, and people will laugh at me."
Jiang Yue answered softly.
Is that really the case?
Jiang Yue lowered her head, and Lu Jingnian could only see the top of her head. Jiang Yue was petite, and at this moment she was almost huddled in Lu Jingnian's arms. Her warm breath made Lu Jingnian's breathing a little erratic, and his heart pounded as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Ever since last night, whenever Jiang Yue got close to him, he couldn't help but think of the scene last night when Jiang Yue cried and begged him in his arms.
Lu Jingnian quickly pushed Jiang Yue away and said expressionlessly, "Let's eat."
His cold and fierce tone made him seem rather intimidating.
Is she angry?
Pushed aside, Jiang Yue dragged her chair back to her seat, secretly glancing at Lu Jingnian. Had her answer displeased Lu Jingnian?
What should we do?
Jiang Yue ate her rice without tasting it.
Lu Jingnian noticed that Jiang Yue was secretly watching him. He pretended not to see it, and his left hand under the table clenched slightly, his palm sweating.
Jiang Yue probably didn't notice his unusual behavior just now, right?
The medicinal cuisine had no bitter taste from the herbs at all; instead, it was somewhat sweet. After Lu Jingnian finished drinking the slightly hot medicinal cuisine, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The two finished their meal, each lost in their own thoughts.
Jiang Yue had just gotten up when she heard Lu Jingnian say, "Go take a shower, I'll clean up."
Aside from his cold and fierce expression, Lu Jingnian is really a good person in every way.
"I'll help you pack; that way we can get it done faster."
She was indeed a bit tired after running around all day, but Lu Jingnian had also been busy at the army base all day, so Jiang Yue didn't mind doing housework.
And with a handsome guy by my side, even when I'm tired, I'm happy.
Lu Jingnian stopped her, saying, "The hot water in our family building is heated by the military boiler room. There's only hot water for showering for two hours, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. I'm afraid there won't be any water soon."
In the 1980s, unlike today, almost every household had a water heater, making bathing very convenient.
Now, if you want to take a bath, you need to go to a public bathhouse. There is one in the town, but it is too far from the military base, which is inconvenient for the families. So the leaders decided to install a pipe in the family building every day, and the boiler room will heat water for the families every evening from 6 pm to 8 pm.
Jiang Yue really didn't know this. She quickly glanced at the time and realized it was almost 7:30.
"There's only half an hour left. If I finish washing, you won't be able to wash."
Girls take much longer to shower than men.
"It's okay, it's not cold yet, I can use cold water."
Lu Jingnian answered without looking up as he cleared the dishes.
It's September now, and you can still wear short sleeves at noon, so taking a cold shower at night won't be too cold. Besides, he's in good physical condition, and he used to take cold showers in winter when conditions were worse.
"How can that be? You're still recovering."
Jiang Yue disagreed. She grabbed Lu Jingnian's hand and dragged him toward the restroom.
"Let's wash together."
Since we've already slept together, we knew exactly what was on them last night.
Do you still care about showering together?
"Jiang Yue..."
Before Lu Jingnian could refuse, Jiang Yue dragged him into the bathroom.
The bathroom light was on, making Lu Jingnian's already tall figure appear even taller. Jiang Yue was almost completely enveloped by his shadow. The faint scent of soap emanating from the man enveloped Jiang Yue, and it wasn't unpleasant.
Jiang Yue looked up and saw Lu Jingnian standing stiffly in front of her, his cold and deep eyes staring straight at her. His usually icy face was now flushed with a suspicious blush that went all the way to his ears.
Is the usually cold and fierce Battalion Commander Lu shy?
Jiang Yue smiled secretly to herself, her fair fingers landing on Lu Jingnian's belt. With a "snap," the belt was pulled out by Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue tossed the belt in her hand onto the hook where towels were placed, and then reached out to unbutton Lu Jingnian's shirt.
She unbuttoned the shirt from bottom to top, one black button at a time, her fingertips gently tracing across Lu Jingnian's firm abdominal muscles.
Lu Jingnian's abdominal muscles were very hard and firm, and just looking at them made people feel very safe.
Jiang Yue truly adored it.
As he unbuttoned the last two buttons, Lu Jingnian suddenly grabbed Jiang Yue's hand and pressed it against the center of his chest. He lowered his head, his cold and deep eyes fixed on Jiang Yue like a wolf locking onto its prey.
The usually cool voice had become slightly hoarse, "Jiang Yue... do you know what you're doing?"
