Chapter 63: Men always take the initiative!
Xu Nuo got up to answer the phone, and Aunt Lin wanted to help Cheng Wanying go back to rest.
"Don't worry, wait a minute." Cheng Wanying winked at Aunt Lin, "Bring the foot washing water over. Let's wash in the living room today."
Aunt Lin understood what Cheng Wanying meant. She wanted to hear her son and daughter-in-law talking on the phone: "Okay, I'll bring it to you."
"I went to the hospital to see my mom after I got off the train. When I came back, I ran into my second uncle and his family causing trouble... So, I forgot to call you back." Xu Nuo said softly, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Lu Chen."
Cheng Wanying frowned when she heard such polite words coming out of Xu Nuo's mouth.
They have been married for a month and they are still so respectful to each other.
Lu Chen looked down at his watch and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock: "It doesn't matter. Is everything settled?"
Xu Nuo sighed: "I think it's been dealt with about 80% to 90% of the time, you don't have to worry."
She thought Lu Chen was just asking casually, so she gave a general answer. He was busy with military affairs, so how could he have time to deal with these things?
"Are you tired today?" Lu Chen asked.
"Not bad, not tired. There weren't many people on the train today, and many people got off, so there were three empty seats. I lay down for a while and took a nap. I'm still mentally and physically fine." After answering the question, Xu Nuo asked again, "How about you?"
"I'm not tired, nor am I sleepy." Lu Chen continued, "If you're not tired, why don't you tell me about the situation at home? I want to hear how you deal with it. Maybe I can give you some advice?"
Xu Nuo curled his lips: "Okay."
"Is the water cold? Can I get you some more water?" Aunt Lin saw Cheng Wanying listening attentively with her ears pricked up, and reminded her in a low voice.
It was so obvious that she was eavesdropping.
Lu Chen heard the noise on the other end of the phone: "Are you in the living room?"
"Um."
"Go to the bedroom and I'll call you back."
Xu Nuo: "Okay."
She hung up the phone and prepared to go upstairs to say hello to Cheng Wanying: "Mom, I'm going upstairs, you should go to bed early."
Cheng Wanying: "Did you finish the call so soon?"
Is this a minute?!
Is this how Lu Chen calls his wife? Newlyweds should be full of love and have endless things to say, but he thinks this call is just a routine matter?
"Yes mom, I went upstairs!"
"Okay, you should go to bed early too."
Xu Nuo went upstairs and seeing that the phone had not called yet, she went to wash up. When she finished washing up and just sat down, the phone rang again and she quickly picked it up.
"Have you finished washing up?" Lu Chen asked the first sentence.
"How did you know?" Xu Nuo was quite surprised. "Have you developed clairvoyance?"
"If so, that's good." He explained simply, "I checked my watch and it takes you about this long to wash up every day."
Xu Nuo was quite surprised: "Is this an occupational disease? You keep time while I wash? I'm not your soldier? What? Are you planning to use me for military training?"
Lu Chen chuckled: "No."
The last time he received a call from Cheng Wanying urging him to give birth, he prepared for that matter in the evening.
She was washing up in the bathroom and checked the watch while waiting for her.
Unexpectedly, she lay down and fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
"Tell me what happened today?" Lu Chen asked.
"good."
downstairs.
Aunt Lin helped Cheng Wanying back to the phone.
"Do you really want to listen to this couple's phone call? Isn't that too immoral?" Aunt Lin asked in a low voice.
"Shh!" Cheng Wanying signaled her to be quiet and gently picked up the phone.
She had never done anything like this before, and this was her first time. She was both nervous and excited, and she held the phone and listened for about twenty minutes.
The more he listened, the less smile there was on his face. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and quietly hung up the phone.
"Come on, help me back to the house."
"What's wrong? The young couple called, what happened to you?"
Cheng Wanying was extremely helpless: "These two people didn't talk about feelings at all for 20 minutes, they just talked about the Xu family's affairs."
Aunt Lin couldn't help laughing: "Are you worried about this too?"
"Why aren't you in a hurry?" Cheng Wanying sighed, "Lu Chen is too slow to warm up to others. When I married Huai Zheng and brought Lu Feng into this family, Lu Chen didn't cry or make a fuss and was very polite. He didn't say it, but he was very resistant to me in his heart. Do you know? It took me, his stepmother, eight years to get into his heart."
Eight years!
This war is won!
Only then did Lu Chen accept her as his stepmother!
"Xu Nuo is still young. Although he has reached the legal age, he is only 19 years old after all! As a couple living together, he doesn't take the initiative. Shouldn't the girl take the initiative?" Cheng Wanying said.
She was worried that Lu Chen and Xu Nuo’s relationship had not made any progress in eight years. How terrible that would be!
"No, don't be too anxious. I don't think there is no promise in Lu Chen's eyes..." Aunt Lin said, "You can't always urge us about the child. You have to let nature take its course, right?"
Cheng Wanying spoke her mind to Aunt Lin: "I'm not always urging them. I'm just afraid that if the girl marries Lu Chen, he will just be so indifferent to her! Isn't this wasting her youth and feelings? Xu Nuo is a good kid, and I don't think it can be considered as unfair to Lu Chen."
Aunt Lin understood what she said: "If that's the case, let's help push it."
If two people really have feelings for each other, this layer of window paper will break with a poke.
"Yes, that's what I mean. But we can't make things difficult for Xu Nuo, so we have to put some pressure on Lu Chen! As a man, you have to take the initiative!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
upstairs.
Xu Nuo told Lu Chen the whole story, thinking that he would be bored listening to it: "Finally it's over, it's quite boring, isn't it?"
Lu Chen did not answer the question directly. After a brief silence, he spoke: "Xu Nuo, I want to know more about you."
"Okay, wait until I get back, and you'll have a chance to understand. It's getting late, right? I can sleep in since I don't have to work, but you can't, Captain Lu."
Lu Chen glanced at the time and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock. It was indeed time to rest: "Xu Nuo..."
"Well what's wrong?"
There was silence on the other side for a while, Xu Nuo was waiting.
Suddenly, Lu Chen said, "I miss you, hope you come back soon!!"
"Ah?" Xu Nuo was shocked. "Lu... Lu Chen, are you sending a telegram? It's so brief!! Isn't there someone holding a knife to force you to say this?"
If you really can't say it, don't force it.
She knew that he was not the kind of person who talked about love all the time.
"No, I haven't." Lu Chen denied. "That's it. Go to bed early. I'll call you tomorrow night."
"Oh." Xu Nuo nodded.
After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help laughing.
So this is what it feels like to be in a relationship with someone who has an icy face and doesn't talk much?
etc.
Is she in love?
On the other end of the phone, Lu Chen hung up with a blank expression.
Wu Yue, who was already lying on the bed, turned over and sat up, and couldn't help teasing him: "You are really good! Such touching words, but it feels like writing a report when you say them! What stimulated you to suddenly think of saying such words to your young wife?"
"Wu Yue, if you keep talking nonsense, just go back to your dormitory and sleep!" Lu Chen said coldly.
"I won't! Your dormitory is great, you sleep on the upper level and I sleep on the lower level! Does it feel like the time in the recruit company again? Hey, who would have thought that you were so lucky, this promotion was like riding a rocket launcher, and you became the regiment commander in the blink of an eye. I almost..."
"Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep!"
Lu Chen felt a little regretful.
He returned home from get off work tonight, and looking at the empty room, he actually felt a little lonely.
He hasn't felt this way in many years.
This time, he experienced it again.
Lu Chen didn't want to be alone at home, so he went back to the dormitory in the army and planned to stay there for a few days.
Who would have thought that the arrival of the chatterbox Wu Yue would completely disrupt his daily routine and peace.
Might as well go home and sleep.
"No! Let's talk about a guy I dated before. I have experience. How about I share it with you and teach you how to say sweet words first?"
Lu Chen stared at him, and after a while he uttered a sentence: "I can't say it, but I can do it!"
Wu Yue's eyes widened: "What? You really don't stop until you say something shocking! You you you... I think you are trying to be funny!"
Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "With your Chinese level, you can go back to school and start over."
He prefers to show his sincerity through actions rather than sweet words.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
Except for one night when Lu Chen had a mission, he did not call on the other days.
But each conversation only lasted a few minutes.
Cheng Wanying saw it and was anxious. She urged Xu Nuo to go back quickly and not to take care of her here: "Nuonuo, you should go back quickly. Mom will take care of her! Go take care of Lu Chen. He needs you there."
"Yes, yes, yes! There's nothing to do here anyway, so just go back." Aunt Lin also advised.
Xu Nuo waited for a week, and Xu Laoer's family did not come to cause trouble again, but the medical expenses were not sent either. She was hesitating whether to leave or not.
Suddenly, the police called and asked, "Excuse me, are you Xu Nuo?"
"Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?"
"We are from the Public Security Bureau. Please come to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the investigation! Also, may I ask if Zhang Man is also from your family?"
Xu Nuo nodded: "Yes."
"Please come with Zhang Man!"
"Comrade police, what happened?" Xu Nuo couldn't help but ask.
