Chapter 117 I Really Found a Treasure
Xu Nuo was frightened when he heard this.
She turned around and said, "Captain Lu, please let me live..."
This is too scary!
I really don’t know where the old man gets all the energy!
"Besides this, how about another gift?"
Lu Chen insisted: "No change."
Xu Nuo: "...Then I'll have to think about it."
Lu Chen laughed twice: "Am I some kind of jackal, tiger or leopard? I can actually scare you like this."
Xu Nuo glanced at him and said, "Yes, you are more fierce than a wolf."
"I'm not kidding you. Nuonuo, did Qin Huayun say something to you today?" Lu Chen's expression became serious.
"How did you know? Did she look for you too?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "She didn't, and she didn't dare."
"Then how did you know..."
"Tomorrow is my birthday." Lu Chen said, "I haven't celebrated my birthday for many years. Everyone in my family knows it, except her."
"Ah?" Xu Nuo was very confused, "Why? Why don't you celebrate your birthday?"
Lu Chen lowered his eyes and pursed his lips: "The day she left me was exactly my birthday. From that day on, I no longer celebrate my birthday."
"So that's how it is..."
"Um."
"Ling Sheng came to see me today. He said Aunt Qin was sick and had been ill for some time. She wanted you to go see her. In addition, she prepared a pair of watches for us as wedding gifts, and a sweater for you as a birthday gift. But I didn't accept them. I think if she really wanted to ask for your forgiveness, she should come and face you directly."
Xu Nuo did not hide anything and told Lu Chen about it.
After listening to this, Lu Chen immediately said, "I will not go to see her, from the moment she chose to abandon me. Nuonuo, you did the right thing."
"Then is it possible for you to reconcile with her?"
Lu Chen answered briefly and firmly with three words: "Impossible."
Xu Nuo nodded: "Then I understand. Now that you have made your attitude clear, I will know how to treat her in the future."
"Um."
"Let's go, let's cook together." Xu Nuo didn't want Lu Chen to be immersed in this matter, so he took his hand and pulled him into the kitchen.
After dinner.
Lu Chen went to take a shower early. Xu Nuo was afraid that he would do that thing again, so he went straight into the study.
The second album is about 70 percent complete, with only 30 percent left, so she has to finish it as soon as possible.
The weather was getting colder day by day, and her deadline was not far away.
When she was tired of painting, she opened the manuscript that Jiang Niaoniao gave her.
To illustrate story books, she must first know the content of the book, and then she can make illustrations based on the content.
She was busy until about eleven o'clock.
When she felt very tired, she turned off the desk lamp in the study and returned to the bedroom.
Lu Chen was leaning on the bed, holding a book in his hand, with a dictionary next to him. It was unknown what difficult content he had encountered, but his brows were furrowed and refused to relax.
Xu Nuo went to the bathroom to wash up and then returned to bed.
"Is Ken back?" Lu Chen asked without raising his head.
Xu Nuo chuckled softly: "No, I was busy. I was so focused that I forgot the time."
Lu Chen didn't say anything.
Seeing that he didn't know what he was reading, Xu Nuo moved closer and saw that Lu Chen was holding a book with densely packed English words on it.
The Chinese meanings are marked next to many English words.
"Are you reading an English book?" Xu Nuo was surprised.
As soon as they got married, she saw Lu Chen holding a book every day. It turned out that the book was entirely in English and was about war and weapons.
He can even speak English.
"Yes, foreign works." Lu Chen flipped through the dictionary casually, "There are many foreign documents on war strategies and weapons. I think we should read more."
"Have you ever studied English?"
"No. I learned everything by myself."
Xu Nuo sincerely admired him. A lot of the English words here were professional terms, and even she seemed to find it difficult, let alone Lu Chen.
"Now that I have a dictionary, I can understand the meaning of words, but when many words are strung together, I can't quite understand them."
Xu Nuo understood, but he had not learned grammar and phrases, so it was difficult for him to understand the meaning.
Not to mention him, even replacing someone else might not be able to do the job.
In an instant, Xu Nuo knew what gift to give him.
"I can help you." Xu Nuo said.
"You?" Lu Chen finally raised his head, a hint of inquiry and interest in his dark eyes, "You know all this?"
"Hmm..." Xu Nuo felt like he was about to lie shamelessly again, "Among the educated youth sent down to the countryside, there were some who became English teachers at universities... What a coincidence, I also learned it and I think I can do it."
"Really? Then can you help me figure out what these words mean?"
Xu Nuo glanced at it and quickly said, "Just like a surgeon's operating box contains a variety of tools, military means are only one of the means to achieve a grand strategy."
After she finished translating, Lu Chen's eyes lit up like stars: "I think your translation is correct."
"Right?" Xu Nuo smiled. "Captain Lu, I'll translate the rest for you. Of course, lend me the dictionary. Give me some time and I'll be able to finish the translation. This will be my birthday present to you, how about it?"
"Good! This gift is great! Thank you, Nuonuo!" Lu Chen had never received such a meaningful gift.
"Why are we still being polite to each other?"
Lu Chen exclaimed: "Nono, I really found a treasure."
I never thought that she knew so many things!
I don’t know what Lu Cheng is thinking now.
He only knew that if he were Lu Cheng, if he had not married Xu Nuo, he would be regretting it now.
Hearing this, Xu Nuo's lips curled up: "I will be proud if you give me such a high evaluation."
"Nono, you deserve to be proud. If you can translate this document, you can be included in the military newspaper again." Lu Chen said.
It is an honor to be able to be published in the military newspaper.
Speaking of this, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something.
photo!
That bastard Lu Cheng hasn't even sent him the photos yet.
That day he sent Xiao Wei to get the photos, but Lu Cheng said he couldn't find them for a while.
Once he finds it, send someone to deliver it over immediately.
Two days have passed and the photos have not been delivered yet.
No, he has to urge it tomorrow!
At this moment, the photo of Xu Nuo with his extremely bright and charming smile was in Jiang Niaoniao's hand.
She was holding the photo and questioning Lu Cheng: "Captain Lu, I came all the way to see you, wanting to give you a surprise. Unexpectedly, I failed to give you a surprise, and you gave me a shock instead... Explain to me, what's going on with this photo?"
