Chapter 8 Reaching Consensus



Ai Xiaoxia felt that this was something that was even more difficult for a married couple to talk about. I don’t want to have sex with you without thinking.

She also knew that the more roundabout this matter was, the harder it would be to explain, so it would be better to be direct.

So she also looked at Lu Jingshen: "Marriage is stronger only when it is based on love, and ours is an arranged marriage, so I hope we can try to develop it as friends and give each other a chance to get to know each other."

She originally wanted to set a deadline, but she felt it was a bit redundant. After all, they started as friends, and after getting along for a while, she still felt that it was not suitable. It would be easier to talk about breaking up at that time. If it was suitable, she also hoped that this would be a perfect love, not just a parental order.

Lu Jingshen listened to Ai Xiaoxia's words, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ai Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party was reasonable. After all, she had never been in love in her past and present lives, and she also had a yearning for love in her heart, instead of just going to bed directly.

She looked at Lu Jingshen gratefully and said, "Thank you, Lu Jingshen."

Lu Jingshen smiled. "What you said makes sense, so I naturally agree." He then got on the kang and placed the kang table in the middle. "You sleep at the head of the kang, and I'll sleep at the end. Just don't let my parents find out, or they'll get suspicious."

Ai Xiaoxia stood up and made the bed with Lu Jingshen. After they both lay down, Ai Xiaoxia pulled the light cord and turned off the light.

Lying on the kang, Ai Xiaoxia couldn't sleep, because when she calmed down and thought about these bizarre things, she still felt it was unreal.

In her previous life, she was 25 years old, the same age as Lu Jingshen now. She had been a good student since childhood, had a talent for painting, and had achieved some success in design.

But now, it suddenly became the early 1990s, a young wife who had just turned 20 years old, and had such an extremely weird family.

Although the man next to me is good, I am not very familiar with him after all. Whether he is suitable to spend the rest of his life with me can only be decided after we get to know each other.

The most important thing for me now is to make money. When I am free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will go out and look for any good business opportunities. I have been reborn with a vision for the next few decades. I cannot waste this opportunity. I must make a career.

Oh, right, I have to go out and call my parents in my previous life to see if their child is normal. My past self shouldn't be in kindergarten yet, right?

"You haven't slept yet?" Lu Jingshen felt that Ai Xiaoxia had been tossing and turning, and he was not sleepy, so he asked.

Ai Xiaoxia turned around and said to Lu Jingshen: "Yeah, I can't sleep."

"Then let's talk?"

"Um."

"Do you have any dreams?"

Ai Xiaoxia's dream in her previous life was to become an internationally renowned graphic designer, but she can't say that now.

She thought about the original owner's dream. She was embarrassed that the original owner didn't have a dream, so she could only make up one: "I want to have a job that suits me in the future and live a peaceful life. Do you think my dream is too ordinary?"

Lu Jingshen also turned around and said to Ai Xiaoxia: "No, a simple and ordinary life is the most precious. If you want to do any job in the future, I will do my best to help you realize it."

"Then I'll talk about it after I've thought it through." Ai Xiaoxia didn't want to talk too much about herself, for fear of making mistakes, so she asked, "What is your dream?"

Lu Jingshen was silent for a moment before he said, "I once wanted to be the best bridge designer in the world, but life and dreams are always different. Now I just hope to build more bridges for my country and make more contributions."

Ai Xiaoxia suddenly felt that Lu Jingshen's dream was quite similar to her own. She probably didn't dare to pursue it too much because of his family, but he was definitely a good young man with positive values.

She said to Lu Jingshen, "If you have a dream, let's work hard. It may come true. Now is a new era, and there are many opportunities."

"Well, thank you for your encouragement. I will try my best." Lu Jingshen always felt that Ai Xiaoxia's tone of voice was not that of a rural girl who had not graduated from junior high school and had little knowledge.

The two of them didn't talk about any private topics. After all, it was not convenient to talk too deeply at the beginning. They just chatted casually and didn't know when they fell asleep.

The next morning, when Ai Xiaoxia woke up, there was no one at the end of the kang and the bedding was folded up.

She quickly put on her clothes, folded her quilt, got off the kang and went out.

In the kitchen, Li Shaofen was already cooking. Seeing Ai Xiaoxia coming out, she smiled and said, "Wake up! Why are you getting up so early after your wedding? Why don't you get some more sleep?"

Ai Xiaoxia understood what her mother-in-law meant, but she had done nothing at night and woke up so late. She scratched her head and said, "Mom, let me help you."

Li Shaofen said, "No need, everything is ready. Go out and wash your face, then we'll eat."

Ai Xiaoxia walked out of the room. Lu Jingshen had already returned from running in the yard and had washed up. He also prepared some water for Ai Xiaoxia to wash her face and asked her to come over and wash her face.

Lu Jingyuan was standing by the wall reciting English. When he saw Ai Xiaoxia, he greeted her and called her sister-in-law.

Ai Xiaoxia was a little embarrassed. She felt that her treatment was really good. She washed her face while Li Shaofen prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, Ai Xiaoxia was thinking about how to tell Lu Jingshen that she wanted to go out for a walk. Uncle Dong from the east courtyard next door came into the courtyard and called Lu Jingshen to answer the phone, saying that it was from his unit.

Lu Jingshen hurried over to answer the phone.

Lu Jingshen came back a short while later. He looked at Ai Xiaoxia apologetically and said, "My unit has something urgent to do. We're already shorthanded on the bridge project. The director called me personally, so I have to go back."

Ai Xiaoxia also knew that the country was experiencing the fastest development and construction in this era, and that bridge designers were very valuable in this era. She also wanted to understand Lu Jingshen's importance, so she quickly said, "I understand. Then you should go back quickly. Work is important."

Li Shaofen complained, "Come on, you're not even having a peaceful wedding leave. What time is the bus leaving?"

Lu Jingshen said, "A car from the company will come to pick me up later."

Li Shaofen said, "Then you and Xiaoxia go back to the room to pack up and talk before leaving."

Lu Jingshen agreed and said, "Then Xiaoxia and I will go back to the house to pack our things."

After returning to the house, Ai Xiaoxia knew that there was no need to pack anything. Lu Jingshen lived in the company dormitory all year round and had everything. This was her mother-in-law's excuse to let the couple say goodbye alone.

Ai Xiaoxia thought about it and could only offer words of assurance: "Well, don't worry about your family, I will take good care of them."

Lu Jingshen nodded and said, "Well, don't work too hard. Let Jingyuan do the heavy work."

Ai Xiaoxia laughed: "Is there anyone who would cheat his brother like you?"

Lu Jingshen also smiled and said, "He's a boy, so it's only natural."

"I know. Don't worry."

"I'll be back as soon as I have time."

"Well, work is important, don't force it."

"Then take care of yourself too."

"The same to you."

The conversation became more and more polite, and they both suddenly laughed.

Lu Jingshen said, "Let's not be polite. Call me if you have anything."

Ai Xiaoxia agreed: "I understand. Then go say goodbye to your parents?"

Lu Jingshen shook his head: "No, my parents have to rush back for me. By the way, didn't you say you wanted to read a book? Besides the ones in the bookcase, there are two boxes in the east wing. You can look for them and see if there is anything you want to read."
