It's only the second month of the lunar calendar, and it's nighttime, so it's still quite cold outside.
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Gu Changzheng wouldn't have wanted Lu Huaijiao to go out and suffer at this time.
It's too cold.
He's a grown man, so going out isn't a problem for him; he's got a strong temper, and this little bit of temperature won't bother him. But his wife is a different story. She's delicate, and her cheeks turn red from the cold wind. Letting her run around outside would break his heart.
Knowing she could leave, Lu Huaijiao happily ran to change her clothes.
Gu Changzheng didn't look away, but his gaze fell appropriately on the letter on the table. His wife didn't object to him watching her change clothes, but he himself didn't dare to look.
I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it.
After all, we still need to go out soon!
However, knowing that his wife was changing clothes, Gu Changzheng couldn't help but glance at Lu Huaijiao twice, even though he was looking at the letter on the table very "seriously".
Seeing that snow-white, slender back, without an ounce of excess fat, her waist so thin it could be encircled by one hand, and on her waist, two dimples faintly revealing the marks he had left last night…
Gu Changzheng felt unbearably hot.
"Wife, I'm waiting for you outside."
His voice rang out, followed by the sounds of the door opening and closing.
This guy just couldn't stand Lu Huaijiao changing clothes in front of him!
Sure enough, when he stepped outside and was blown by the cold wind, the blood that was about to flow from his nose finally stopped.
Lu Huaijiao didn't keep Gu Changzheng waiting for long.
She wore a thermal undershirt, a sweater, and a down jacket that had just become popular this year.
The black down jacket blended perfectly with the darkness of the night. Only her small, oval face shone with a pale white glow.
The clash of black and white is breathtakingly beautiful.
Where's the hat?
Gu Changzheng stepped forward and found his wife's beauty an eyesore.
I reached out and helped her put the red scarf around her neck, and then I put the hood on her down jacket.
The large hat almost covered her entire head, like a child wearing an adult's clothes.
Gu Changzheng burst out laughing.
Lu Huaijiao: ...
"Why are you so annoying?"
She pulled her hat down a little, revealing a pair of bright, dark almond-shaped eyes staring at him. Her eyes and brows exuded endless charm, enough to melt anyone's heart at first glance.
Such a beautiful wife, I really want to keep her in my pocket and only allow myself to kiss and hug her.
"Honey, why don't you not go? Why don't you stay home and wait for my news? Or should I go and call them over?"
Just as he was about to leave, Gu Changzheng regretted it.
I think it's better to let my wife stay at home.
I couldn't bear to let her go out in the cold wind.
"Why are you so long-winded? Are you going or not? If not, I'll go by myself." Lu Huaijiao glared at him and went to get the bicycle, preparing to ride it herself.
How could Gu Changzheng allow such a thing to happen?
"Wife, wait a minute."
He went inside and took out a low stool that he had specially made to put on the front bar of his bicycle. He spread his cotton-padded coat on it and placed the stool in front of him.
“Wife, come here, sit in front and lean against your husband’s lap.”
Gu Changzheng's original intention was for her to lean against him so that she could stay warmer by being close to his body.
Lu Huaijiao, however, felt that she was there to shield Gu Changzheng from the wind.
"Wife, will you... shield me from the wind?"
Gu Changzheng tried his best not to smile, but looking at his wife who was barely up to his shoulder, he really couldn't imagine her shielding him from the wind.
Lu Huaijiao felt mocked.
She bared her teeth at him angrily.
"Let's go quickly."
"Okay."
Gu Changzheng braced his foot against the bicycle and gently scooped Lu Huaijiao up with one hand.
They turned to He Meizhu and Gu Jianhua at home and told them to lock the door before leaving.
After leaving the house, instead of walking along the street, I walked deeper into Tianshui Hutong.
Late at night, although there was a faint glow from the streetlights, there were many more areas without streetlights.
In places without streetlights, the only source of light is the flashlight attached to the front of the bicycle.
Fortunately, the light from the two flashlights was enough for Gu Changzheng to ride his bicycle through a bumpy area and finally stop in front of a courtyard with a huge old locust tree in front of it.
"Honey, we've arrived."
"here?"
Lu Huaijiao glanced around.
Apart from this solitary courtyard in front of me, it seems that the rest of the place is rice paddies.
Although she couldn't see clearly, she could feel the emptiness brought by the wind blowing.
Gu Changzheng hummed in agreement.
He pushed the bicycle with one hand and held Lu Huaijiao's hand with the other as he walked forward.
Reaching the door, he knocked. Lu Huaijiao noticed that his knocking motion was very rhythmic: three light knocks, three heavy knocks, and then three light knocks again.
It had a strange feeling, like a spy rendezvous.
Before Gu Changzheng could explain to Lu Huaijiao, footsteps could be heard in the courtyard.
The door in front of me opened.
A familiar face appeared behind the door.
"Brother Xiang?"
Lu Huaijiao was genuinely surprised.
No matter how she thought about it, she never expected that Xiang Dongcheng would appear behind the door.
Xiang Dongcheng was also somewhat surprised when he saw Lu Huaijiao.
"Sister-in-law."
After speaking, he quickly concealed the surprise on his face and looked at Gu Changzheng.
"What's going on? Why did you bring your younger brother and sister-in-law along?"
