Chapter 38: Awkward, so embarrassing!
After opening the box, there was a small paper bag.
There were three big words clearly written on the paper bag. Xu Nuo understood that this thing was a "small umbrella".
Only one per box?
Xu Nuo had never seen small umbrellas of this era, so she took one and began to study it.
Turn the bag over and you will see lines of small words densely written on the back.
Instructions for use: 1. This product has been strictly inspected and there should be no air leakage in the front half. To ensure the effect, you can check it again before use... 2... 3. After use, wash it with clean water, check for leaks, wipe it dry or dry it, pad it with talcum powder, and roll it up for next use.
OMG!
Xu Nuo was shocked. It turned out that this was how small umbrellas were used in this era. They could even be reused. It was really beyond her understanding.
She was concentrating on her studies when the door behind her creaked open and Lu Chen came in to wash his hands.
He saw Xu Nuo with his back to him, not knowing what he was looking at so seriously, so he asked, "What are you looking at?"
This sound startled Xu Nuo, and the paper bag in his hand fell into the basin with a snap.
BYT, three clear big words appeared in Lu Chen's eyes.
His eyes darkened and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Ouch!" Xu Nuo was startled and quickly took the bag out of the water. Fortunately, she moved quickly, otherwise the bag would have been soaked, and the things inside would have been soaked as well.
"Interested in this?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.
“No, no, no!” Xu Nuo waved his hands hastily. “I just saw it, so I wanted to see what it was! Curiosity, just curiosity! Here… here you go.”
"You keep it." Lu Chen said.
Xu Nuo subconsciously said: "I don't need this thing, so you should keep it."
"Not needed?" Lu Chen's eyes were full of inquiry.
Which one is not used?
Did she not need to use it, or did she not want to use it? Or was she not ready yet?
"Yes, you won't need it, just put it away. I'm going to wash clothes!" Xu Nuo stuffed the things into his hands and started washing his military uniform.
Only after Lu Chen left did Xu Nuo quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
How strange!
This was clearly not something shameful, so why did she feel like a thief?
Awkward!
It's so embarrassing!
The night gradually deepened.
It was time to go to bed again, Xu Nuo washed up and lay down. After observing for a few days, she could roughly understand Lu Chen's schedule.
His rest time is usually about half an hour later than the lights-out signal in the army, so it won’t be long before Lu Chen has to go upstairs.
After the small umbrella incident tonight, Xu Nuo vaguely felt that Lu Chen might do something in the evening.
After all, the other party is an adult man who is already married. Should he still live like a single person?
Unrealistic, isn't it?
However, Xu Nuo was not very sure whether Lu Chen married her in the first place to provide a safety net for Lu Chen or because he was not opposed to this marriage.
For her, marrying Lu Chen had many advantages. Her household registration and job were both solved. Moreover, the other party held a high position and military rank, and was a very considerate person.
Besides this, she had another concern about marrying Lu Chen.
That is, the original body's appearance and figure were too outstanding. If such a beautiful and weak girl stayed in Qingshan Village, there would be absolutely no result.
It's not a good thing for her to attract too much attention from men.
Therefore, marrying Lu Chen and becoming a military wife was a perfect marriage for her!
Since she married Lu Chen, she was heading towards a better life.
Her mother-in-law Cheng Wanying also told her that Lu Chen was a slow-moving person, so Xu Nuo was not in a hurry to make Lu Chen do anything.
She believes that as time goes by, feelings will slowly develop.
Because she has always thought so, if Lu Chen is willing to have sex with her, she will not refuse.
No matter how you look at it, she made a profit.
But Lu Chen was a man of few words, and she couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
The other person's eyes were always as deep and calm as the abyss, and she could hardly see through him.
Plus there are those rumors out there, saying that he doesn't like women, isn't into women, and some even say he likes men...
She couldn't figure out which situation Lu Chen belonged to.
Xu Nuo closed her eyes and thought about all sorts of things in her mind. Gradually, she felt sleepy. When she was about to fall asleep, she heard footsteps.
She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Chen.
He sat on the edge of the bed with his upper body naked, and was about to take off his shoes and pants when the phone on the table suddenly rang.
Lu Chen stood up to answer the phone.
Xu Nuo heard what seemed to be a man talking on the other end of the phone, but he couldn't make out what was being said.
Her eyes fell on Lu Chen's back, looking at his beautiful back and narrow waist.
"Yeah, I see." Lu Chen had been listening to the other person and finally nodded slightly in response.
He moved slightly, allowing Xu Nuo to see his handsome profile and the deep smile at the corner of his mouth.
It was the first time she saw him smile so happily.
Who is the other party?
When Xu Nuo was thinking about it, he heard Lu Chen say again: "Come over as soon as possible, so that we can get together more often."
The tone of his voice when speaking to that person was particularly different. Xu Nuo became more and more curious and wanted to ask who the other person was after hanging up the phone.
As a result, she waited and waited until she fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, it was already light outside and Lu Chen was not around.
Xu Nuo got dressed, washed up, and went downstairs to the cafeteria to buy food. He happened to run into Lu Chen who was coming back from his morning run and buying breakfast.
He seemed to be in a good mood.
"I've eaten, so I'm going back to the army first. I'll buy some food in the evening, and you can help me entertain my friends." Lu Chen said.
"The one who called last night?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Um."
"He is?"
"friend."
Xu Nuo carefully probed: "Boyfriend?"
Lu Chen gave her a strange look and said, "Yes, not a girlfriend, but a boyfriend."
After he finished speaking, he also felt that something seemed wrong, and added: "Male friends."
However, to Xu Nuo, this seemed like an attempt to cover up something that was only making it more obvious.
After breakfast, Xu Nuo went to work at the health center.
As soon as she entered the room, everyone in the room raised their heads and looked at her. Especially Liao Hong, who looked at her with hatred, as if she was going to pounce on her and tear her apart in the next second.
"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?" Xu Nuo was completely confused by them.
