Chapter 121 Daily Life After Marriage 3
①
On Friday night, the two of them huddled on the sofa watching a horror movie. Lin Che vowed, "I'm definitely not scared this time!"
Ten minutes after the opening——
"Ahhh!" Lin Che threw herself into Lu Yu's arms, burying her face in his chest. "Is it over? Is it over?"
Lu Yu held back his laughter and stroked the back of his head: "It's over."
Lin Che secretly peeked out from between her fingers, and happened to see a ghost face suddenly enlarged on the screen. She was so scared that she jumped up and accidentally hit her knee on the coffee table.
"hiss--"
Lu Yu quickly turned off the TV and checked his red knees: "Not watching anymore?"
"Look!" Lin Che sat back down, gritting her teeth. "I'm really not afraid this time."
Five minutes later, screams rang out again in the living room. Lu Yu simply hugged the man in his arms, resting his chin on the top of his head: "Are you still afraid of this?"
Lin Che's ears flushed as she shook her head and she quietly tucked her cold hands into his shirt to keep them warm.

Lu Yu's suitcase was spread out on the bed, and Lin Che was squatting beside it, stuffing various small things into it.
"Stomach medicine, Band-Aids, eye patch..." Lin Che counted them one by one. "I've put the charger in your side pocket."
Lu Yu hugged him from behind: "It's only three days, no need to bring so much."
"Just in case you need it." Lin Che turned around and stuffed a pack of tissues in. "You caught a cold on your last business trip."
Lu Yu lowered his head and rubbed his nose: "Since you are so worried, why don't you come with me?"
"I don't want to." Lin Che curled her lips. "The last time I went to a business dinner with you, the topics those CEOs talked about were so boring."
When seeing Lu Yu off at the airport the next day, Lin Che waited until Lu Yu's back disappeared at the security checkpoint before leaving.
When he got home, he found a note on the refrigerator:
"There's three days' worth of food in the fridge, just heat it up and you're good to go. No takeout allowed."
Lin Che smiled and sent a note: [Boss Lu, are you so worried about me?]
The other party replied immediately: [Well, I’m afraid someone will cook it like charcoal grilled food again.]
③
At ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Che lay on the bed and video chatted with Lu Yu.
"Today, a student in the lab mixed the wrong reagents..." Lin Che was vividly recounting the day's interesting events when he suddenly noticed Lu Yu rubbing his temples on the other side of the screen. "Headache?"
"It's okay, the time difference is a bit confusing." Lu Yu put down his hand, "You continue."
Lin Che suddenly turned the camera toward the ceiling and said, "Lie down. I'll teach you a massage technique."
Lu Yu lay down as he was told and pressed the acupoints according to the instructions on his phone.
"Yes, right there...be gentle..." Lin Che's voice came through the speaker, and was particularly clear in the quiet hotel room.
Lu Yu suddenly chuckled: "Teacher Lin, are you sure this is teaching massage?"
Lin Che then realized how ambiguous her instructions were and blushed. "...Press it if you want!"
④
Lu Yu, who was originally scheduled to return on Friday, quietly opened the door late on Thursday night.
A small light was on in the living room. Lin Che was curled up on the sofa and fell asleep, holding a tablet in his arms. The screen displayed an unfinished courseware.
Lu Yu put down his luggage quietly and was about to carry him to the bedroom when Lin Che opened his eyes in a daze.
"...Am I dreaming?" Lin Che reached out and touched his face.
Lu Yu grabbed his hand and kissed it on his lips: "The negotiations are completed ahead of schedule."
Lin Che instantly woke up and rushed over to hug him: "Didn't you say it would be on Friday..."
Before she could finish her words, she was kissed. Lu Yu's breath still carried the coolness of the night wind, but it made Lin Che feel extremely warm.
"I miss you." These three simple words made Lin Che's heart beat faster.
⑤
It was a rare weekend morning for Lu Yu not to get up early.
Lin Che woke up first and found that their posture had changed from being alone last night to her lying on top of Lu Yu.
He quietly looked up and saw Lu Yu's sleeping face close at hand. In the morning light, the man's sharp features softened, his eyelashes casting tiny shadows under his eyes.
Lin Che moved closer and touched Lu Yu's lips lightly. Just as she was about to move away, her head was suddenly held down.
"A stealth kiss?" Lu Yu opened his eyes, but there was no trace of sleepiness in them.
Lin Che's ears burned: "You're pretending to be asleep!"
Lu Yu rolled over and pinned the man down: "It's only right to reciprocate."
The sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, drawing two overlapping figures on the bed.
This weekend morning, they decided to sleep in together.
⑥
"Lu Yu! You used my shampoo again!" Lin Che's accusation came from the bathroom.
Lu Yu leaned against the door and said confidently, "Yours smells better."
Lin Che shook her wet hair, splashing water on Lu Yu's face. "Then go buy the same one yourself."
"No." Lu Yu pulled the man into his arms and lowered his head to smell the fragrance of his hair. "This way, you will smell like me."
Lin Che pushed him away, her ears reddening. "...childish!"
After turning off the lights, Lu Yu habitually pulled Lin Che into his arms. Lin Che struggled for a moment: "It's hot."
Lu Yu pretended not to hear and held his arms tighter.
Lin Che had no choice but to find a comfortable position to curl up, and soon fell asleep in the familiar embrace.
In the darkness, Lu Yu gently kissed the top of his head with a slight smile on his lips.
This was his favorite daily routine.
