"You two work so hard every day. Mom has made some nourishing stew for you. Here, each of you have a can."
"Thank you, Mom. What is this stew? It smells so good." Yu Yao picked up the bowl and scooped some water with a spoon.
Hu Lingyu smiled broadly: "It smells delicious. Besides chicken legs and wings, Mom added a lot of nourishing herbs and simmered them on the stove all afternoon. You and Lu Ze should drink more, don't leave any."
Yu Yao nodded obediently and finished the chicken soup in her bowl, just like Lu Ze.
Hu Lingyu looked at the two clean bowls, and her smile widened.
"If it works well, when you and Lu Ze return to the island, Mom will give you the prepared medicine to take with you. You can stew it with chicken or bones when you get back, and it will definitely work."
"It's getting late, and you have to go to work tomorrow. You should wash up and go to bed early. Mom is going out now."
After Hu Lingyu finished speaking, she took the two empty bowls and went out.
Yu Yao looked at her back and felt something was off.
But then she thought about it and realized there was nothing wrong with it, so she didn't think much of it. Seeing that it was indeed getting late, she told Lu Ze that she was going to wash up first.
After she finished washing, Lu Ze went in to wash as well.
The old house was in good condition, and washing up was very convenient. There was even a shower, so Yu Yao washed her hair and took a bath. She then sat on the edge of the bed and used a dry towel to wring out her hair.
She had long, beautiful, jet-black hair, even smoother than the hair in shampoo commercials of later generations.
Maintaining such beautiful hair is no easy feat. Every two weeks, she first uses a dry towel to wring her hair until it's about 80% dry, and when it's still slightly damp, she applies her own homemade gardenia oil to nourish it.
This whole process takes at least half an hour to complete.
Every time I finish doing this, my neck aches because I've been lying on my side for so long.
When Lu Ze came out of the shower, he saw her lying on her side, wringing her hair. He picked up a chair and placed it on the bedside table, then took the towel from her hand. "Lie down, I'll wring your hair for you."
Yu Yao lay on the bed with her head resting on Lu Ze's lap.
Lu Ze sat in the chair and carefully wrung out her hair strand by strand.
A towel isn't as fast as a hairdryer; you need to wring your hair at least twice to get it about 80% dry. After wringing, apply gardenia oil little by little to the ends of your hair.
After applying the oil, massage it into your hair in small clumps with your hands, using the warmth of your palms to melt the oil and allow your hair to fully absorb it.
So having such beautiful hair doesn't come without a price.
Previously, Sun Yu's sister-in-law, Fang Qiaoqiao, and others envied her for having a head of beautiful hair and asked her for her hair care secrets. However, after hearing her method, they immediately backed down.
Yu Yao rested her head on Lu Ze's lap and could feel Lu Ze's slender fingers running through her hair, picking it up and wringing it dry.
Perhaps because he had just taken a shower, Lu Ze looked exceptionally sexy with his wet buzz cut.
With his superior, deep jawline, high nose bridge, and thin lips that are irresistible to kiss, he's handsome no matter how you look at him.
Lu Ze was wearing a polyester shirt, with the buttons fastened all the way up as always, pressing against his prominent Adam's apple.
From her position, she looks exceptionally sexy and... easy to bully.
Yu Yao felt her mouth was dry and her throat parched; a heat rose from her heart, growing hotter and hotter.
"Lu Ze, do you feel hot? Is the window closed?" Yu Yao loosened her collar and fanned her chest with her hand.
Lu Ze was about to answer her when he looked down and noticed that her cheeks were flushed and her neckline was getting lower and lower, revealing a patch of fair skin.
"Ayao, you don't look well. Did you eat something?" Lu Ze reached out and touched her forehead. She didn't look like she had a normal fever.
Yu Yao was taken aback. "I was fine last night. Apart from the soup that Mom brought, I didn't eat anything else."
Both of them paused upon hearing this.
At this moment, Lu Ze was also feeling a bit hot. He had only thought that his lover was in his arms, but now it seemed that it was not that simple.
Lu Ze unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt. "There must have been something added to the soup Mom brought."
"But why?" Yu Yao suddenly remembered that Hu Lingyu had asked her about the pregnancy that afternoon and she had told Lu Ze. "Do you think this is the reason?"
No wonder Hu Lingyu seemed strange when I was drinking the soup earlier; that's why.
Lu Ze said in a deep voice, "That should be the reason."
The first floor of the cadre's small building.
Hu Lingyu stood on the balcony, watching the light in her youngest son's room on the second floor go out, and smiled with satisfaction.
With this medicinal diet as a boost, the time when she can hold her grandchildren shouldn't be far off.
Lu Ze's bedroom on the second floor.
Lu Ze's burning kiss landed on Yu Yao's neck, and just as his hands were about to move down, Yu Yao suddenly called for a stop.
With a flip, their positions were reversed.
"Don't move, I'll do it this time."
Yu Yao sat on Lu Ze's lap, her hands on his chest. "I've made an appointment with Aunt Liu to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy beef tomorrow morning, so I can't overdo it tonight."
Based on Lu Ze's usual level of exercise, if he were to take the lead, even if it were just once, I wouldn't be able to get up early tomorrow morning.
Lu Ze held her slender waist with both hands, looking completely at her, and hummed in a low, husky voice, "Come on."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Yao grabbed a dry, unused towel from her memory and tied Lu Ze's hands above his head. "I'm afraid you might get agitated, so it's safer to tie them up."
In the dark, sight is rendered useless, but the senses of smell and touch become more acute.
Yu Yao's hand touched Lu Ze's face, tracing down his face from his high nose bridge and hot lips, to his bobbing Adam's apple.
Then she lowered her head and kissed his Adam's apple. When the kiss became intense, she couldn't help but bite her cheek.
Lu Ze groaned, his heart beating even faster.
