Chapter 77 Are you still planning to reject me?
Lu Chen's appearance made Xu Nuo very happy.
Not only did he show up, he also spoke for her, leaving Gou Yuexiang speechless.
"It's hot, wipe your face." Seeing that she was holding the towel without moving, Lu Chen reminded her.
"Okay." Xu Nuo wiped his face and felt much more refreshed. "When did you come back? How did you know I was here?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I met Sister Qiu Ning. She said you were here, so I came to see you."
After that, he put away the towel, unscrewed the lid of the military canteen, and handed it to Xu Nuo: "It's hot, drink some water, don't go up, it's easy to get sick."
Xu Nuo took the kettle and took two sips. He felt the water was sweet, and it was so sweet that it went straight to his heart.
"Oh, Captain Lu loves his wife so much! He only missed her for a while at home, but he came here to find her."
"Captain Lu, you are treating your wife like your own daughter. Look at how she is handing you towels and water. I am so envious."
"It's different for newlyweds."
Everyone was praising her, except Gou Yuexiang who was sulking.
She was the one who started the trouble first, so how could she dare to say so much to Lu Chen now?
She snorted, turned around, and started working again with her butt sticking out and grunting.
"If you can't do it, don't do it. The service center can buy vegetables. If you really don't want to cook, you can go to the cafeteria and buy meals directly with your meal tickets. You don't have to make things difficult for yourself by doing this kind of work." Lu Chen said.
Xu Nuo smiled at him: "Sister Qiu Ning said that if we plant tomatoes now, we will get a lot of them in the fall. We can make tomato sauce by then. In the winter when we have only stored vegetables to eat, we can fry the tomato sauce with eggs and eat it. It's delicious. I want to try it... and I want you to try it too."
Lu Chen understood what she meant.
He raised his hand and unbuttoned his military uniform, then handed it directly to Xu Nuo: "Hold it for me, I'll do the job."
"Are you okay?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Why not? The army has its own farmland. When the kitchen staff is too busy, we have worked there."
"Okay then. Thank you for your hard work..."
Wu Yue's words popped up in Lu Chen's mind, and he immediately said, "There's no need for a couple to be so polite to each other all the time. Those who are always polite are outsiders..."
Xu Nuo: “…”
I clearly remember that he said thank you to her at noon.
Lu Chen started to work, and Xu Nuo stood beside him, watching him in the evening breeze.
His arms were strong and muscular, and the veins bulged when he swung the hoe, making him look very sexy.
Sure enough, serious men are the most charming.
Lu Chen quickly turned the soil over, then picked up other tools and began to harrow and flatten the ground. A square vegetable patch was made.
Afterwards, he dug a few furrows in the vegetable patch, waiting to buy vegetable seeds and seedlings and plant them in them.
"Wipe your sweat." Seeing that his hair was soaked, Xu Nuo hurriedly handed him a towel.
Lu Chen didn't reach out to take it, but leaned his head closer: "I can't free my hands, help me wipe it."
"Okay." Xu Nuo gently wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel, "Are you done? Let's go home. I'll make you something you like to eat tonight."
Lu Chen nodded: "Whose tool is this?"
Xu Nuo said, "This is from Sister Qiu Ning, don't worry about it. She will be back soon. She told me that I can leave directly after I finish the work."
"Okay." Lu Chen agreed.
The young couple went home together.
Several other military wives talked about it behind their backs: "Look at how loving this couple is. Wow...the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are a perfect match."
"It was said before that Lu Chen was a block of ice and iron, and even women couldn't warm his heart. But what happened? Look at his young wife, she was controlled by him with just a few words. She didn't even want him to do farm work!"
Gou Yuexiang spat, "Pretentious."
On the way home, I met Bai Qiuning again.
She drank enough water and hurried to the fields. This time, she not only went alone, but also took Liao Hong with her.
"Xu Nuo, have you finished your work? You work so efficiently!" Bai Qiu Ning exclaimed.
Xu Nuo smiled and looked up at Lu Chen. "Sister-in-law, I can't do that. It was all Lu Chen who did it."
"Captain Lu really cares about you. You guys go back, I have to get to work quickly. It will be dark if we are any later..." Bai Qiu Ning said as he hurried to the northeast corner.
Liao Hong looked at Xu Nuo and said, "Xu Nuo, there's a movie showing in the auditorium tomorrow night. I got two movie tickets. Do you want to go?"
Xu Nuo was stunned: "Are you inviting me?"
Liao Hong blushed: "Yes. Are you coming?"
Xu Nuo readily agreed: "Come on, of course I will. Call me tomorrow night after you have dinner and we'll go watch it together."
"OK."
Bai Qiu Ning and Liao Hong went to work in the fields and heard several military wives discussing what had just happened.
The more Bai Qiuning listened, the more envious she became.
This is a young wife, and Old Liao is ten years older than her. Why does he stay at home and not come out?
"Hong, call your brother over here and stop him from reading all those books. There's no war going on, so why is he still reading War and Peace?"
Liao Hong immediately said, "Yes. My brother is just lazy. He is far worse than Captain Lu! I'll go right away!"
When the young couple returned home, the first thing they did was to go to the bathroom to take a shower.
Xu Nuo went upstairs, and Lu Chen stayed on the other side.
After taking a shower, Xu Nuo changed into her newly made nightgown and went downstairs to cook.
Lu Chen was wiping his wet hair. When he looked up and saw Xu Nuo's outfit, his throat tightened unconsciously: "Is this skirt new?"
"Nightgown, I wear it at home." Xu Nuo said, "It's much cooler."
After saying that, she turned around in front of Lu Chen and asked, "Does it look good?"
Lu Chen did not evade her gaze this time, but looked directly into her eyes: "You look good, you look good in anything you wear."
Xu Nuo was satisfied: "I'll go cook. I'll make you spicy hot pot tonight!"
It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when they finished cooking and eating the meal. Lu Chen took the initiative to get up and wash the dishes. Xu Nuo sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and stretched out to one side.
Lu Chen finished washing the dishes, walked over, and his eyes fell on her legs.
White, slender, and smooth as the finest satin.
Xu Nuo was chewing a peach. Seeing Lu Chen's gaze, she thought Lu Chen wanted to eat the peach in her hand, so she asked, "Are you not full? I'll wash a peach for you to eat."
Lu Chen stared at her and slowly uttered a sentence: "Well, I'm not full."
I wasn’t full after all.
Xu Nuo stood up and said, "I sometimes have trouble controlling the amount when I cook, so I'm sorry to bother you today. I'll cook more often in the future, and I'll be able to control it well."
When she passed by Lu Chen, he stretched out his hand and pulled her, and she lost control and sat on his thighs with her arms around his neck.
Lu Chen looked at her, with fire burning in his eyes: "You are right, you will be able to control it well after doing it a few more times."
Xu Nuo seemed to understand what he was saying, and her cheeks felt a little hot.
"Nono." Lu Chen looked at her with deep eyes, his voice was a little hoarse, "Are you still going to reject me tonight?"
Thinking of his two previous failures, Xu Nuo felt that it would be unreasonable for him to run away again.
What's more, she really had no reason to escape again.
Every time this happened, Lu Chen felt uncomfortable, and she herself felt uncomfortable too.
She shook her head, lowered her head and kissed Lu Chen's lips first: "I won't run away. I'm mentally prepared, but Lu Chen, you have to be gentle to me..."
