Chapter 14 Listening to Your Guarantee is Sweet
Chapter 14
Lu Baozhu only realized after she got home that she hadn't taken any photos.
Lu Baozhu had almost finished eating the food that Xu Xing'an had brought.
Xu Xing'an must have a knack for picking watermelons. The watermelons he chose were crisp watermelons, both sweet and crunchy. Lu Baozhu ate almost all of them, and she was even thinking of asking Xu Xing'an to buy another one when they got back.
Lu Baozhu waved the camera at Xu Xing'an and laughed.
Xu Xing'an: "I forgot."
Lu Baozhu was surprised that Xu Xing'an had forgotten about this, since it was a camera that Xu Xing'an had specially bought at the mall yesterday.
Perhaps the scenery at the top of the mountain was too beautiful, and the air was too fresh, especially the air at the top. It was just that the weather gradually got a bit hot after sunrise, otherwise Lu Baozhu could have played outside all day.
Perhaps because of the hike and waking up very early in the morning, Lu Baozhu fell asleep on the sofa.
Xu Xing'an carried her back to the room and covered Lu Baozhu with a blanket.
Xu Xing'an heard Lu Baozhu seemingly talking in her sleep. He leaned closer and heard Lu Baozhu say again, "Watermelon, the crisp kind."
Xu Xing'an smiled.
The watermelon Xu Xing'an bought for Lu Baozhu was purchased at a nearby fruit wholesale market. When Xu Xing'an went to the market, he stood in front of the watermelon stall looking serious, as if he was doing something very important.
The stall owner handed Xu Xing'an a watermelon, saying, "This one is definitely sweet!"
The vendor has already helped many people choose watermelons.
Xu Xing'an gently patted the watermelons in front of him, selected one, and handed it to the vendor, saying, "I want this one."
The stall owner had no choice but to put the watermelon he had selected back. When he weighed the watermelon for Xu Xing'an, he also looked at the watermelon that Xu Xing'an had chosen. It looked like a very good and sweet watermelon.
When Lu Baozhu woke up, it was already dark outside.
After being tired for a long time, I went to sleep and woke up feeling refreshed and especially comfortable.
Xu Xing'an: "You're awake?"
Lu Baozhu: "Didn't you rest?"
Xu Xing'an: "Mm."
Lu Baozhu noticed that Xu Xing'an hadn't seemed tired since she arrived.
There was a sliced watermelon on the table. Lu Baozhu was pleasantly surprised. She ate a piece and found it to be sweeter and crisper than the watermelon she had eaten while hiking!
Lu Baozhu: "It would be even better if it were cooler!"
Xu Xing'an: "I'm going to buy food. I'll eat less watermelon and have it after the meal."
Lu Baozhu: "......."
Lu Baozhu, who was strictly forbidden from eating fruit taken out of the refrigerator, ate another piece of watermelon.
At home, Lu Baozhu had never been managed so strictly.
Watermelon tastes best when it's cool and refreshing.
Xu Xing'an, who can eat anything and has a very bland diet, such as drinking only white porridge or even not eating rice and only drinking a little cold boiled water, would never understand!
...
When Lu Baozhu had her period, her stomach pain was much less, which was something Lu Baozhu was definitely going to celebrate.
Looking back, it seems to have started when Xu Xing'an forbade her to eat cold food and forbade her to walk barefoot on the floor.
Xu Xing'an would also regularly prepare some tonics for Lu Baozhu.
Lu Baozhu didn't go to the beach with Xu Xing'an; instead, she stayed home, lying in bed reading comic books.
There's a bookstore near the neighborhood. Xu Xing'an likes to go there to buy books, but Lu Baozhu doesn't like reading much, so she bought these comic books instead.
After finishing that book, Lu Baozhu turned her attention to Xu Xing'an's book, but after a while, she felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Xu Xing'an's books are not suitable for her.
When she had some free time, Lu Baozhu went to the terrace to water the flowers and plants she had grown.
There was an argument going on downstairs, and Lu Baozhu was listening with great interest.
When Xu Xing'an got home, he saw Lu Baozhu on the balcony. Lu Baozhu made a shushing gesture at Xu Xing'an, who was puzzled. Lu Baozhu then pointed downstairs.
The argument downstairs was between a couple arguing about helping their child with homework.
Two smart people gave birth to a little fool, and the two of them went crazy trying to tutor the little fool.
"In my family, there's no one who doesn't do well in school!"
"You mean you're upset that someone in my family isn't doing well in school, right? I know you're from the city, and I came to university from the countryside. So, you're just looking down on me because I'm from the countryside!"
"Since you know, the task of helping the child with homework is now yours!"
"........"
Lu Baozhu was overjoyed. She had met their little rascal before; he was a chubby little boy who looked very polite, fair-skinned, and a bit mischievous.
Lu Baozhu was about to go back when she heard her son downstairs shout, "No, I don't want to study!"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
The couple seemed to be on the same page at this moment.
Lu Baozhu's legs were a little numb when she stood up, so Xu Xing'an reached out to support her. Lu Baozhu's expression was a little unpleasant.
Xu Xing'an: "It'll be over in a bit, don't move."
Lu Baozhu: "No, I want to sit down."
Lu Baozhu sat down in the chair, and after a long time, she finally recovered.
Lu Baozhu glanced at the sky outside. "Why did you come so early?"
Xu Xing'an replied without changing his expression, "There weren't many people at the night market today, so I came back early."
Lu Baozhu: "I've finished reading the comic book."
Xu Xing'an: "Let's go to the bookstore."
Xu Xing'an took Lu Baozhu to the bookstore, where Lu Baozhu selected a few comic books before returning home with Xu Xing'an.
The chubby, silly boy who lived in the same building politely called Lu Baozhu "sister," while Xu Xing'an, who was standing next to him, didn't dare to greet her.
The couple living downstairs in the soundproof building also knew about it, and they were feeling a bit awkward.
“This child has a blank mind and can’t learn anything. Fortunately, his father is patient and willing to teach him well in the future.”
The child's father: "......."
The kids' dads are arguing so much that it's gotten to the point where one of their kids isn't doing well in school, so they'll just have to grit their teeth and tutor the kids from now on.
The family of three may bicker a bit, but it looks so heartwarming.
After Lu Baozhu finished speaking with them, she continued walking forward with Xu Xing'an.
She thought that if she and Xu Xing'an had a child, she would definitely not have to worry about the child's studies; Xu Xing'an would take care of it.
Turning her head and seeing Xu Xing'an's handsome appearance, Lu Baozhu touched her own face again.
No one in their family is ugly, but what about Xu Xing'an?
Xu Xing'an: "What's wrong?"
Do you have any ugly people in your family?
Even if you have children, most of them will probably resemble their parents more.
Lu Baozhu smiled without saying a word.
She didn't want to think about these things. If it weren't for the argument between the young couple downstairs, Lu Baozhu wouldn't have thought about the child.
...
When Lu Baozhu arrived at the beach, she came almost every day, but she never got tired of it. She would walk on the sand and listen to the sound of the waves.
It's quite interesting to accompany Xu Xing'an while he sets up his stall.
Chen Yu came over intentionally to show himself in front of Xu Xing'an, so that Xu Xing'an wouldn't forget about him.
This time, Chen Yu also greeted Lu Baozhu, saying, "Hello, sister-in-law."
This was the first time Lu Baozhu had been addressed in this way, and she didn't know how to respond. She just stood there and smiled at Chen Yu.
After greeting them, Chen Yu wisely left without disturbing them.
Lu Baozhu sat there looking at the starry night sky, resting her chin in her hands. When she got tired, she picked up a string of pearl necklaces from the stall and played with it.
Xu Xing'an stood to the side, and only after the customer called him several times did he turn around and talk to the person.
Xu Xing'an seemed to be in a good mood, and sold the goods at almost cost price.
Lu Baozhu did the math: there were travel and labor costs for purchasing the goods. Her little head was spinning as Xu Xing'an started packing up his things. "Let's pack up and go home."
So they were planning to close up shop. No wonder.
Sitting in the car, Lu Baozhu swung her legs, thinking about how she could eat lychees when she got back, and even sang a few lines of a song softly.
In the water town of her dreams, her voice was soft and sweet, like a feather slowly falling and then blowing on Xu Xing'an's heart.
Xu Xing'an memorized the lyrics along the way.
When Lu Baozhu got home, she went straight to the refrigerator to find her lychees. She said, "How did these lychees end up here?"
Xu Xing'an was so angry he laughed.
Lu Baozhu: "In that case, I'll eat it."
Xu Xing'an: "You can drink brown sugar and egg water today, and I'll eat the lychees."
Lu Baozhu: "......."
Speaking of this, Xu Xing'an couldn't help but recall the first time Lu Baozhu had her period here.
Xu Xing'an was resting that day, but Lu Baozhu came to find him rather awkwardly.
Although Xu Xing'an was woken up, his eyes were clear, and he asked with slight concern, "What's wrong?"
Lu Baozhu: "Can you buy me something?"
Xu Xing'an: "What should I buy?"
Lu Baozhu: "That's right, I need to use things you don't need."
Xu Xing'an didn't understand. After thinking for a long time, he went out and bought Lu Baozhu what she wanted when he came back.
After Lu Baozhu came out, she suddenly stopped being coy and had a faint blush on her face. She ordered, "I have a stomachache, I want brown sugar and egg water."
After drinking the hot brown sugar egg water and land treasure, Xu Xing'an went back to his room and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Lu Baozhu also remembered this incident, and she was somewhat angry.
Brown sugar and egg water, brown sugar and egg water, the last time she had her period, she drank brown sugar and egg water for several days straight. At first, Lu Baozhu thought Xu Xing'an was indeed reliable, but later she really couldn't drink it anymore!
It's almost become dessert after dinner!
Lu Baozhu: "I don't want to, I want to eat lychees. Have you forgotten last time? You don't have to drink it every day. Besides, I already drank it yesterday!"
Xu Xing'an lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Lu Baozhu: "I will not compromise!"
Xu Xing'an: "Brown sugar ginger water?"
Lu Baozhu: "It's not even as good as brown sugar and egg water!"
Xu Xing'an: "Okay, I'll do as you say, brown sugar and egg water."
Lu Baozhu: "......."
