Chapter 8: Making peace with White Rabbit candy

The night was quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional barking of dogs to be heard.

Lu Sui returned to his room after taking a shower. In the living room, Lu Jun was holding a remote control, lying on the sofa and watching TV. Liang Jingxuan was massaging his back, and he was sweating profusely. Song Huizi raised her hand and wiped it, "Xuanbao, stop massaging! Go take a shower and go to bed."

"Okay~" Liang Jingxuan took her slippers and bunny pajamas and skipped to the bathroom. Lu Sui had just taken a shower and the air was misty. He probably walked in a hurry and dropped his underwear on the clothes hanger.

Liang Jingxuan's eyes rolled around and he closed the door stealthily. Lu Sui in the room was about to wash his clothes when he suddenly noticed that his underwear seemed to have been left in the bathroom.

He walked towards the bathroom with big strides. The door opened a crack, and he pushed it in without thinking too much. Liang Jingxuan was squatting on the ground, looking up in astonishment, "Husband..." He was still holding his underwear in his hand...

Seeing that his face was gloomy again, Liang Jingxuan hurriedly explained, "Hubby, I didn't steal your underwear, I was washing your underwear..."

Lu Sui, "..."

I snatched the underwear from his hand awkwardly, "Don't wash my things from now on!"

"Oh..." Liang Jingxuan poked his palm, "But I'm your wife..."

Lu Sui took a deep breath and walked away with a stiff face.

After taking a shower, Liang Jingxuan did not return to the room, but went to the living room, opened the drawer under the TV cabinet, and grabbed a handful of White Rabbit milk candy.

In the room, Lu Sui had already laid down, his muscular back rising and falling with his breathing, his bronze muscles full of male hormones. Liang Jingxuan approached him reluctantly, "Honey, are you asleep?"

Lu Sui clenched his fists and ignored him. Liang Jingxuan held the cool mat with both hands, lowered his head and kissed him on the lips. Lu Sui opened his eyes immediately, "What the hell are you doing?!"

Liang Jingxuan looked at him angrily, "I was kissing you... I called you... but you ignored me and pretended to be asleep, you bad husband!"

Lu Sui's temples were throbbing, "Don't kiss me anymore!" Liang Jingxuan's nose felt sore, and she took the initiative to hug his neck, resting her forehead on her chest where her heart was pounding, and begged aggrievedly, "Hubby, don't be angry... I'll give you White Rabbit candy, let's make peace..."

Lu Sui's breath was choked, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want it, get out of here!"

"Husband, are you not angry anymore?"

"I'm not angry anymore!" Lu Suihun's body was as hot as boiling water.

"My husband is so nice~" Liang Jingxuan hugged him even tighter.

"Then get out of here!" Lu Sui pounded the cold mat angrily.

Liang Jingxuan pouted, "I don't want to get up, just hold me like this and sleep~"

Lu Sui, "..."

The hands were pried apart, and the two legs entangled with each other again, like vines, tightly wrapped around...

"Hubby, you're not good. You're moving around in your sleep..."

"You...why are you holding on to me?!"

Liang Jingxuan strangled his neck, "Because you are my husband! I am your wife, if I don't catch you, who should I catch?"

Lu Sui, "..."

Liang Jingxuan buried her head in his neck, the tips of her ears were quietly covered with powder, which spread to her soft and pale cheeks, like a glutinous rice dumpling covered with icing sugar. "You can't hit me anymore. Hitting me is domestic violence! It's illegal... but you only hit me three times... I forgive you..."

Lu Sui had a cold face, and his hawk-like eyes were dark and unclear. "Stop talking and go to sleep!"

"But you haven't promised me yet, husband." Lu Sui, "..."

Liang Jingxuan leaned against his ear, "Husband! Husband! Husband!"

Lu Sui's ears were visibly red and hot.

Liang Jingxuan rubbed his Adam's apple with the tip of her nose, "Hubby~"

Lu Sui patted him on the back and said, "Don't act like a spoiled brat."

Liang Jingxuan was satisfied, "Okay, husband!" He closed his eyes and opened them again, "Husband, go turn off the lights!"

Lu Sui, "..."

The steaming sun-dried dam was covered with corn kernels, like a patch of broken gold. Sparrows were very fierce at this time of year, and you could eat most of them if you weren't careful. Under the big willow tree, men were smoking and playing cards, while women were sewing shoe soles and chatting.

Liang Jingxuan followed behind Lu Sui, wearing a big straw hat and holding a rake, and received a lot of envious and jealous looks.

Lu Sui easily carried 100 kilograms of corn in one hand, and another 80 kilograms in the other hand, and walked forward with long legs. His back was broad, and his waist was narrow and strong. Young girls and widows stared at him. Capable men were the most popular.

The corn kernels were poured out, and Liang Jingxuan used a rake to spread them out bit by bit. Lu Sui was annoyed that he was dawdling, so he took the rake, and the muscles on his strong arms bulged terribly. In a blink of an eye, the corn filled the dam.

After the sun was done, the men invited Lu Sui to come over and play a few cards. Lu Sui lifted his clothes to wipe the sweat off his face and walked over. Liang Jingxuan followed him like a tail, holding a rake. As soon as he sat down, the men offered him a cigarette. He thanked them and put the cigarette between his ears.

"Xuanbao, do you want to play too?" a man asked with a smile. Liang Jingxuan leaned close to Lu Sui, "I don't want to play, I want to watch my husband play..."

Just based on his word "husband", men and women would have burst out laughing in the past, but today no one dared to laugh because Lu Sui was there.

No one dared to mess with him since he was fifteen or sixteen years old. At that time, Song Huizi was in poor health and had no children. Many gossips said behind her back that she was a hen that could not lay eggs.

Once, there was a banquet in the village. A man got drunk and said that the Lu army was a broken tail and Song Huizi was worse than a sow. Lu Sui heard it, took a kitchen knife from home, chased him and chopped him. The man was so scared that he wet his pants and locked the door and dared not come out. Finally, the village head and the village party secretary came to mediate and the matter was resolved. From then on, no one dared to say a word, even behind his back, they had to be careful.

He was also the first college student in the village. He was promising and joined Team B. In his fourth year, he won the third-class merit and in his sixth year, he won the second-class merit. No one in the village dared to gossip about him anymore. Those who did gossip only talked about how he got such a gambling uncle in the Army.

"Hehe, Xuanbao is really clingy!" The men laughed and joked. Lu Sui just felt hot and pushed him. Liang Jingxuan pouted and put her head on his shoulder, "Hubby... I'm tired..."

Lu Sui narrowed his eyes. He was just carrying a rake. Why was he tired? Liang Jingxuan felt a little guilty when he looked at her like that. She looked at him with misty eyes and whispered, "I'm really tired..."

Lu Sui raised his eyebrows. If there hadn't been someone there, his little butt would have been in trouble! He turned his head away and continued to play cards. He was lucky and courageous. He dared to bet on any cards. He had never lost a game since he sat down. Liang Jingxuan didn't understand and kept dozing off, bumping his shoulder from time to time.

After playing four or five games, a group of barefoot children came running over from a distance, each holding spicy strips and lollipops in their hands. The children who didn't have money ran to the adults and grabbed their hands, shouting for money.

The smell of spicy noodles made my sleepiness disappear instantly. I sniffed again and again.

Lu Sui threw out a card and took out 5 yuan from his pocket and gave it to him, "Hold it well, don't lose it."

Everyone fell silent and looked at each other in confusion.

Liang Jingxuan said "Oh" softly, took the money, mixed in with a group of children, and skipped to the canteen.

Someone was so curious that he couldn't help asking, "Sui Ge, you and Xuan Bao..."

Lu Sui threw out a card expressionlessly and said, "It's your turn." Anyone who wasn't stupid could have heard that he didn't want to say it and the man didn't dare to ask any more questions. After playing another round, Lu Sui stood up and turned over the corn with a rake.

Just after turning the corn, Liu Mei in a white dress stood shyly behind him. Lu Sui frowned, took a few steps back, and continued to turn the corn with the rake.

"Brother Sui..." Liu Mei shamelessly took a few steps forward.

Many people looked at them and some even started whispering to each other.

"What do you want?" Lu Sui asked coldly while holding the rake.

"Um... can we talk somewhere else?" Liu Mei was considered good-looking in Yunwu Village. She had never experienced any hardship, and her little face was as tender as a freshly peeled egg.

Lu Sui was a little annoyed, "Let's talk about it right here."

"I want to ask you if you have someone you like? If not, could you consider me?" Liu Mei was very nervous and spoke haltingly, her face turning red.

Lu Sui was stunned for a moment. Although society is not as closed and feudal as before, there are still few people who are so bold to express themselves, let alone a girl.

"If I remember correctly, I think I'm seven years older than you..."

"I don't mind!" Liu Mei's voice suddenly rose, and many people stretched their necks to look at them. "My mother asked a matchmaker to go to your house last time, and Uncle Lu Jun said you were still in Team B, so let's put it aside for now..."

Lu Sui looked at her in the twilight.

"First, I don't think I'm worthy of you, and I don't have any plans to fall in love or get married at this stage. Second, you're also a college student, and a rare female college student. You should go out more and see more. It's too early for you to fall in love or get married."

The tone was neither very cold nor very warm. Liu Mei froze in place. No one had ever said these words to her. Whether it was her parents or her sister, they all told her that women would get married sooner or later and have children, so it was better to get married and have children sooner.

The male classmates in the university looked down on her because she was from the countryside, and she looked down on the men in the village. After choosing and choosing, Lu Sui was the best. He was good-looking, capable, promising, and strong at work. His muscular body was covered with beads of sweat, which made her blush and her heart beat fast.

Lu Sui, concerned about her reputation and not wanting to get into trouble, walked quickly toward the group of men with a rake in hand. A courageous young man teased him, "Brother Sui, what did Mei Zi tell you? Tell us too!"

Lu Sui smiled nonchalantly and said perfunctorily, "Nothing!"

"Husband!" Liang Jingxuan came back mixed with a group of kids, holding spicy noodles in his hand, his mouth was dirty from eating, and his trouser pockets were bulging.

"Hubby, eat it!" Liang Jingxuan licked his lips and handed the spicy strips to him. Lu Sui frowned in disdain, "You eat it yourself!" Liang Jingxuan said "oh" obediently and sat down close to him. The eldest master, who was sitting not far from him, teased him,

"Xuanbao, you have to keep an eye on Suizi. He was almost kidnapped just now. If he had been kidnapped, you would have been left without a husband!"
