Chapter 6 I'd Really Be Sorry If I Didn't Hit You
Lu Cheng, Xu Nuo, their two names put together means "promise".
I wonder if this name given to her by her original mother is better than Lu Cheng’s name?
After dinner, Cheng Wanying arranged for Xu Nuo to stay.
All the rooms in the house are occupied, and now only the room of the second son and his wife is vacant.
"The second brother and his wife don't come back on weekdays, so you can live in this room for the next few days." Cheng Wanying led Xu Nuo into the house.
Xu Nuo looked at the house, which was clean and tidy. There was a wedding photo of the host and hostess hanging on the wall, and on the table were the hostess's facial oil and hairbands and other things.
As soon as she entered the door, she felt that the house was full of traces of the owner's life.
It's not appropriate for her to live in this room.
If this room belonged to her and a stranger moved in, she would be very unhappy when she found out.
"Aunt Cheng, Xu Shan and I can live in the same room." Although Xu Nuo didn't like Xu Shan very much, she decided it would be better to live with her at this moment.
"There's only one single bed in that room, and you two won't be able to rest well if you squeeze in there."
"It's okay, we're both thin and won't take up much space." Xu Nuo insisted on staying in the guest room.
Cheng Wanying let Xu Nuo live in the second brother's room because she didn't want to treat her badly. She felt bad about asking someone to squeeze into a single bed after she came from afar.
Unexpectedly, the child was quite sensible and took the initiative to ask to sleep in the guest room.
"Good boy, I'll have to bear with you for the next two days."
"Don't feel wronged, Aunt Cheng."
Cheng Wanying arranged Xu Nuo to stay in the guest room where Xu Shan lived, and asked Sister Lin to prepare a new set of toiletries and a set of clean clothes for her, and told her to go to bed early after washing up.
Under the guidance of Mrs. Lin, Xu Nuo went to the bathroom on the second floor to take a hot bath, changed his clothes and then returned to the room.
Xu Shan was leaning against the head of the bed eating an apple. Occasionally, one or two pieces of fruit pulp would fall out of her mouth and roll all over the bed.
Xu Nuo frowned: "Come down to eat. You are living in someone else's house, how can you not pay attention to hygiene and influence at all?"
Normally it was Xu Shan who bullied Xu Nuo, making her dare not say a word.
Now, she seemed like a different person and even dared to accuse her!
Especially what she said when she exposed her identity as soon as she entered the door today, she was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Don't lecture me!" Xu Shan raised her eyelids and glanced at her. "Let me ask you, do my parents know that you are coming to Beijing?"
Xu Nuo looked at her coldly: "I know!"
"Did they agree to let you run away?" Xu Shan widened her eyes.
Xu Nuo glanced at her and said, "What do you think? Is this matter difficult to guess? You can figure it out even if you use your toes to figure it out!"
"That means she ran away secretly!!!" Xu Shan usually has a loud voice, and it gets even louder when she's excited. "Xu Nuo, do you want to kill my parents? I've received the betrothal money, but you're not getting married. Now you've run away, what are my parents going to do?"
"Want to know? Then you'll know when you go back tomorrow." Xu Nuo replied her indifferently.
Only then did Xu Shan realize a problem.
Xu Nuo came, and Lu Cheng also agreed to their marriage, so Xu Shan had no reason to stay here.
She must go back to Qingshan Village!
No, she doesn't want to go back!
Life in Beijing was so comfortable that she no longer wanted to go back to the mountains to dig for food.
Thinking of this, a deep resentment surged in her heart. She could not escape with Xu Nuo's ability alone. Someone must have helped her.
"Was it that old immortal who helped you escape?" Xu Shan thought of Old Lady Lin first.
When Xu Nuo mentioned Old Madam Lin, her face darkened. She said sternly, "Xu Shan, grandma has passed away. Please respect her! If I hear you scold her like this again, I will be rude to you!"
"Hey! Look at how powerful you are, and you're still rude to me? I'm going to scold you, let's see what you can do to me? You old fool, you old fool! She should have died long ago! She deserved it! She died a good death!"
Snap——
A loud and crisp slap landed on Xu Shan's face.
Lu Chen came down from upstairs to get something from the guest room.
One-year-old Lu Yiyi seemed to have a fever and kept crying in the room, interrupting his conversation with his father Lu Huaizheng.
Cheng Wanying couldn't let go of the child, so she asked him to go downstairs to the guest room to get a thermometer.
He walked to the door and was about to raise his hand to knock when he heard an argument inside.
Then there was a loud slap.
Then, Xu Shan cried, "Xu Nuo, you are so bold! You dare to hit me!"
Xu Nuo's voice was very calm: "You asked for this."
"Xu Nuo, you think you're awesome, don't you? Come here, I'll give you my face, if you dare, hit me, give me a few more slaps! I want to show the Lu family what kind of vicious woman you are behind the scenes!"
Since her face is so close to me, it would be a waste not to hit her.
Pa, pa, pa—three more slaps.
Her palms were red and burning.
The hands of the person who hits others are so painful, let alone the person who is being hit?
Xu Nuo felt that Xu Shan deserved those slaps. She was disrespectful to her grandmother and also stole other people’s money and engagement books. She really should be taught a lesson on how to behave!
Maybe it hurts too much.
Xu Shan did not resist, but covered her face and started crying: "You really hit me!"
Xu Nuo shook his sore palm and said, "I really don't like hitting people, but since you asked me to, I would be really sorry if I hit you."
The sound of a baby crying was heard again upstairs. Lu Chen didn't listen any more. He just raised his finger and knocked on the door.
Xu Nuo heard a knock on the door and went forward to open it.
Seeing that the person standing at the door was Lu Chen, he was a little surprised: "Brother Lu, what do you want so late?"
Lu Chen saw that she had just taken a shower. Her fair cheeks were moist and her long, thick black hair was draped over her shoulders. She looked quiet and weak. He could not connect her with the slap in the face just now.
"I need a thermometer. It's in my desk. The third drawer from the left!"
"Okay." Xu Nuo responded and hurriedly opened the drawer. She found that there was indeed a mercury thermometer inside. She handed the thermometer to Lu Chen, "Brother Lu, the child has a fever? Can Aunt Cheng take care of him so late? Do you need my help?"
"No need." Lu Chen took the thermometer and glanced sideways at Xu Shan's red and swollen cheek.
Xu Nuo followed his gaze and saw Xu Shan curling her lips as if she was about to start crying.
Aunt Cheng must be worried because the child is sick. Don’t cause trouble for her at this time!
"Oh, a mosquito. Just now a mosquito flew onto her face. We were swatting it!" Xu Nuo smiled, "It was just a little too heavy."
Lu Chen didn't say anything, but just looked at her deeply.
Turn around and go upstairs.
As the night grew late, both of them were very tired, so they squeezed into one bed and fell asleep.
Xu Nuo had just fallen into a drowsy dream when he was awakened by a sudden burst of noise and panic from upstairs.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! What should I do? Yi Yi, my dear, what's wrong with you?"
