Chapter 178: Fight at the Head of the Bed and Make Peace at the Foot of the Bed
Her voice became lower and lower, as if she was talking to herself, but her tears kept falling like beads that had broken off the string.
When she said this, Zhang Man's suppressed emotions finally burst out.
She raised her hand, wiped the tears from her face, and choked up: "My parents favor my brother. I know this very well, but sometimes I have no choice... Only after marrying you, I know what it means to truly love me."
Her fingers tightly grasped Lu Feng's feet, as if grasping the last glimmer of hope.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, and tears slid down her cheeks, dripping onto the back of her hands and into Lu Feng's heart.
Just as Lu Chen said, Lu Feng softened his heart.
After all, there was affection between him and Zhang Man. At this moment, facing her humble and aggrieved words, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He reached out and gently stroked Zhang Man's cheek. His fingertips touched her slightly hot skin and he asked in a low voice, "Does it still hurt?"
Zhang Man held back tears and nodded gently, her voice choking with sobs: "It hurts..."
Her eyes were full of grievance and dependence, like a wounded little animal longing for comfort.
Lu Feng sighed and whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you so hard...it was just the situation at the time, I had to do it."
Zhang Man shook her head and said softly, "I understand... I don't blame you."
Her eyes were full of tolerance and love, as if all the grievances had disappeared at this moment.
She leaned gently into Lu Feng's arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and put her cheek against his chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, her heart gradually calmed down.
That night, Zhang Man used all her skills to serve Lu Feng tenderly.
Her movements were gentle and delicate, as if she was trying to mend the previous cracks in this way.
In bed, the close intimacy between the two brought their hearts closer to each other, as if all the unhappiness had disappeared at this moment.
The next morning, Lu Chen and Xu Nuo got up early.
Aunt Lin was already busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast. The sound of pots and pans clattering and bursts of aroma drifted in the air.
Lu Huaizheng sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a newspaper in his hand and reading it attentively.
Lu Chen and Xu Nuo walked up to Lu Huaizheng, and Lu Chen said, "Dad, we plan to move to the dormitory."
Hearing this, Lu Huaizheng was slightly startled, raised his head, and looked puzzled: "Why? Do you think the environment at home is not good?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said calmly: "No, my family is fine."
"Why is that? Lu Feng and the others have left, so why are you leaving?" At this point, Lu Huaizheng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Because I asked someone to repair your bed?"
Lu Chen was slightly embarrassed.
However, there was never much expression on his face, so it was hard to tell anything.
“No.”
He paused and continued, "It's just too much trouble to run back and forth. I might as well just stay in the dormitory and come back on weekends."
Lu Huaizheng was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Since you have decided, let's go."
There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, but he didn't say much.
He put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at the two of them gently: "Go say hello to your mother, don't let her worry."
"Okay." Lu Chen and Xu Nuo nodded in agreement at the same time.
After breakfast, Lu Chen and Xu Nuo each took their luggage and walked out of the house.
Lu Feng and his wife also left with Lu Yiyi.
The originally lively home suddenly became empty. Cheng Wanying stood at the door, watching the children's backs as they walked away, a trace of sadness in her eyes.
Her fingers were tightly clenched on the corner of her clothes, the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and her expression was lonely.
Lu Huaizheng walked up to her, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Don't be sad, they will all come back, it's not like they won't come back."
Cheng Wanying glared at him, complaining in her tone: "It must be because you fixed the bed that my son and daughter-in-law understood what I meant, so they felt embarrassed and didn't come back!"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice and her eyes were full of blame.
Lu Huaizheng smiled helplessly, did not refute, just shook his head slightly.
On the way, Xu Nuo couldn't help but ask Lu Chen: "Didn't you repair the bed? How come it became Dad's?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen glanced at her without slipping his hands, with a meaningful look in his eyes and a slight upturn in the corners of his mouth.
Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized something, his face turned red, and even the roots of his ears were flushed.
She muttered in a low voice: "It must be because the upstairs was too intense, so my parents-in-law heard it..."
Her voice became lower and lower, her face full of embarrassment and shyness.
Lu Chen still smiled without saying a word. He just gently held her hand and rubbed the back of her hand with his fingertips, as if to soothe her emotions.
Xu Nuo took a deep breath and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Fortunately I moved out, otherwise it would be so awkward to see each other every day..."
"Well, it's more convenient at home." Lu Chen added.
Xu Nuo's face turned even redder.
"By the way, Shi Ning saved you. I plan to buy some supplements and go see him at noon today, and also give him a banner and a thank-you letter." Lu Chen said.
"But... do you have time? You guys are not too close to me..." Xu Nuo paused and said, fearing that it would delay his training, "Let me take care of these things. His injury will take a while to heal, so why not, wait for a while until he is almost recovered, and then we will treat him to a meal together and thank him properly."
"Okay." Lu Chen felt that what Xu Nuo said made sense.
It is more important to recuperate now. It will not be too late to invite him to dinner after he has recovered.
The two of them have almost finished their discussion.
"Captain Lu, should we send you to training first or your sister-in-law?" There was a fork in the road ahead, and Xiao Chen asked.
"Send her first." Lu Chen said, "She is closer."
"Yes, Captain Lu." Xiao Chen replied.
Lu Chen raised his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror, where Xiao Chen's eyes were reflected.
He was driving very seriously with his eyes looking straight ahead, as if the people talking behind him had no effect on him at all.
Of course, it could also be that Lu Chen and Xu Nuo were speaking very softly and he couldn't hear them.
But Lu Chen felt that Xiao Chen was much better than Xiao Wei, the driver he drove for.
The boy had a pair of eyes that were curious about everything and a pair of ears that stood up, always waiting to listen to the conversation between him and Xu Nuo.
Very gossipy!
…
The snow stopped and the midday sun was bright and dazzling. Shi Ning finally opened his sleepy eyes.
"Hey, you finally woke up, hero!" His roommate Wang Jian came over and teased him, "You know you slept like a log. If you don't wake up, I'll have to call a doctor."
Shi Ning's fever subsided and he felt much more relaxed. When he opened his mouth, the first thing he asked was, "How is Xu Nuo?"
