"No need to thank me, we're husband and wife," Shen Qiaoyue said to Lu Chen.
When Shen Qiaoyue looked up and met Lu Chen's eyes, she couldn't help but feel happy.
When you like someone, your eyes are always on them.
Lu Chen's charm continued to attract Shen Qiaoyue.
Seeing Shen Qiaoyue staring at him with a lovesick expression, Lu Chen smiled smugly.
"Go brush your teeth, dinner's about to start, stop staring!" Lu Chen was embarrassed by Shen Qiaoyue's intense gaze.
Shen Qiaoyue was so embarrassed that she fled in panic.
What's wrong with her today? A man cooking, and Shen Qiaoyue is actually embarrassed by him.
It must be my mind playing tricks on me. I patted my face and told myself not to be so pathetic.
After brushing my teeth, it was time to eat.
The food we ate today was about the same as yesterday.
Braised duck with potatoes, and I could even smell the wine; pork stew with vermicelli; a green vegetable dish; and a steamed bun.
Just as Shen Qiaoyue was about to start eating the steamed bun, someone said, "Put this steamed bun down. I got it from the cafeteria for myself. You eat the white rice."
Lu Chen brought out a bowl of white rice from the kitchen.
Shen Qiaoyue was about to open her mouth and start eating the steamed bun when she saw this bowl of rice.
He looked up at Lu Chen in disbelief.
"Eat."
After Lu Chen sat down, he took the steamed bun from Shen Qiaoyue's hand, took a bite and ate it, watching Shen Qiaoyue's expression as she didn't touch her chopsticks.
She asked worriedly, "Is this not to your liking?"
"No, Lu Chen, don't be so nice to me!" Shen Qiaoyue was touched by Lu Chen's actions, but she felt even more guilty.
They actually made her eat white rice while they ate steamed buns themselves.
Nowadays, rice can be bought in limited quantities every day, and the amount of rice ration coupons issued per month is very small.
"You're pregnant now, so you need to eat more protein and nutritious foods. I eat a lot; I can get just as full from steamed buns and potatoes."
Lu Chen wanted Shen Qiaoyue to eat better, and he didn't care.
“You’ve been eating steamed buns every day at the factory, without any nutritional supplements, and you’re only eating millet rice. It’s rare for you to be home on the weekend, so it’s okay to eat something better. It’s not like you eat that every meal.” Lu Chen added quickly while eating his steamed bun, “I often eat rice in the canteen, so don’t worry.”
Shen Qiaoyue took the steamed bun from Lu Chen's hand, broke it in half and put it aside, then gave Lu Chen half of the white rice in his bowl.
"I can't finish all that rice either. Don't discriminate. White flour buns and rice are about the same nutritional value. It's just that the taste is a little different. I may be a little fussy, but I'm not really unreasonable."
Seeing that Lu Chen was about to speak.
“You are the pillar of this family. If you fall, what will happen to me, the children, and Lu He? So we are a family, so let’s eat together.” Shen Qiaoyue said first.
Seeing Shen Qiaoyue say this, Lu Chen looked down at the half bowl of rice, nodded, and said, "I'll listen to my wife."
"Eat quickly."
Shen Qiaoyue took a bite of the steamed bun and then a bite of the greens. The oily flavor was quite delicious.
Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, but Shen Qiaoyue's appetite was getting better and better.
I finished half a bowl of rice and half a steamed bun.
I also ate a lot of potatoes and duck, but later I didn't want to eat any vegetables at all.
Only a little bit of pork stew with vermicelli was left, and Lu Chen finished it all.
Shen Qiaoyue touched her stomach; it was unbelievable that the two of them had eaten enough for four people.
"I'll wash the dishes for you."
Seeing Lu Chen clearing away the dishes, Shen Qiaoyue offered to help.
"You can just sit here," Lu Chen refused.
"No, I want to stay with you."
Lu Chen had no choice but to let Shen Qiaoyue help him clean the oil stains and let her wash them with water.
Working together, they finished washing quickly.
Not wanting to go out on a rainy day, the two of them sat in the living room listening to the rain.
"The South is rainy, and spring and autumn are the rainiest seasons," Shen Qiaoyue complained about rainy days. "Getting soaked on the way to work makes me feel terrible."
"Spring will be over soon, so don't worry," Lu Chen comforted him.
Shen Qiaoyue hummed twice, nodded, and her eyelids began to droop.
After lunch, all she wanted to do was sleep; Shen Qiaoyue was just too tired.
"Go to sleep. I'll stay home with my wife today and not go anywhere," Lu Chen gently coaxed Shen Qiaoyue.
The sound had a hypnotic effect, and Shen Qiaoyue fell asleep in no time.
Lu Chen carried Shen Qiaoyue back to the room for a midday rest, holding her tightly in his arms.
Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly.
After they fell asleep, the rain poured down harder.
Thunder began, and then a violent storm started.
In the afternoon, An Lude knocked on Lu Chen's door.
"Old Lu, hurry up, it's an urgent mission." An Lude knocked on the door, and Lu Chen immediately woke up.
I got out of bed and carefully opened the door to go out.
But with such a commotion, how could Shen Qiaoyue not have woken up?
After Lu Chen came out, his expression turned serious when he saw An Lude coming to find him.
"Something's happened. It's raining heavily, and villagers in the neighboring town have been caught in a mudslide. Many people have been submerged. We need to set off immediately," Anlude said hastily.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen became even more worried and immediately said, "I'll go right away, gather the people, and set off immediately."
"yes."
After Anlud left.
Shen Qiaoyue had already heard what Lu Chen and An Lude were saying, and the thunder outside was so loud.
After Lu Chen came in, he saw that Shen Qiaoyue was already awake and said, "Wife, I might have to go out for a while. Lu He might not be back tonight. Can you take care of yourself by yourself at home?"
Lu Chen was worried about Shen Qiaoyue being home alone.
"I'm fine. I'm not a child anymore. There's still food at home. I can cook for myself. Don't worry about me." Shen Qiaoyue had already accepted the fact that Lu Chen often had to go on missions. "Don't be reckless. For my sake, don't get hurt, okay?"
"Don't worry, my dear wife, I'll take care of myself." Lu Chen walked to the bedside and touched Shen Qiaoyue's face with his right hand.
Shen Qiaoyue pouted and reached out for a hug.
Lu Chen obediently gave her a loving hug.
"Brother Chen, you must come back safely. I'm waiting for you." Chen Qiaoyue hugged Lu Chen tightly, unwilling to let go.
Lu Chen knew that Shen Qiaoyue didn't want him to leave, but there was nothing he could do.
"Alright, I'm leaving now, don't worry too much." Lu Chen gently patted Shen Qiaoyue's back, cupped her face in his hands, and gently kissed her forehead. "I'll be back soon."
Shen Qiaoyue nodded and released Lu Chen.
He glanced at it reluctantly for a couple of seconds before turning and leaving.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Lu Chen dared not turn around, afraid that Shen Qiaoyue would worry.
Shen Qiaoyue is actually quite receptive to change things after Lu Chen left.
He was stunned for a moment, then got out of bed.
Stepping out of the living room, I discovered that the rain was heavier than I had imagined; it was already this dark at just past three o'clock.
