Lu Chenghuai kissed very slowly, each time with slight pauses.
He pressed his thin fingertips on the corner of Xu Sui's eyes and brushed them casually, bringing a tingling sensation.
This quiet, gentle, and non-deep kiss allowed Xu Sui to feel the touch of his lips more clearly. As their breaths intertwined, the distance between them grew closer and closer, and her waist was held by a broad hand.
Xu Sui closed her eyes and let him pry open her lips, starting from the shallow end and going deeper, the entanglement between their lips and teeth gradually became more intense.
This kiss was really long and deep.
With his breath in disorder, he finally backed away. Xu Sui's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. Unknowingly, Lu Chenghuai had already hugged her tightly and brought her into his arms.
They were very close, Lu Chenghuai gently stroked her already delicate red lips with one hand and rubbed her waist with the other.
Under the stimulation of hormones, Xu Mian felt a little weak. She opened her lips slightly and could feel the tip of her tongue was numb.
Lu Chenghuai finally let go and slowly put her clothes in order.
Xu Sui sat down again, and for a moment, neither of them spoke.
Lu Chenghuai rubbed his thumb and index finger, as if savoring the touch just now, but his eyes never left his object.
A month is really too long.
Xu Sui stood up and opened the window of the ward slightly to let in some fresh air to dispel the heat in the room.
She glanced at the trees planted in the yard. The trunks were bare and the leaves had all fallen off. "I remember before you left, the weather had just turned cold and wearing a sweater was enough to keep warm. Now, even horses have to change into padded jackets."
Lu Chenghuai looked at her profile. "This is your first time to spend the winter on an island. It should be colder here than in your hometown, especially because of the strong sea breeze. Sometimes the weather looks good and the room is neither too hot nor too cold, but you will catch a cold if you stay out in the wind for too long."
"Haven't you just arrived at the island not long ago? How do you know so much about it?" Xu Sui asked curiously.
"I've been to the island before, but I was just on a mission..." Lu Chenghuai briefly recounted his previous experience.
The two chatted casually, and no one mentioned the beautiful scene just now.
"Knock-knock-knock" there was a knock on the ward door.
Shi Hong walked in from the front and said, "I just came from the army and met Director Yang on the way. She asked me to bring her food. Oh, my sister-in-law is here too."
Xu Sui smiled slightly and ignored his title, "Hello, Mr. Shi."
She wanted Shi Hong to sit down, but Shi Hong waved his hands, indicating that she didn't need to bother, and directly brought in another stool from the side.
Lu Chenghuai coughed lightly and said, "I plan to go to my girlfriend's home in June this year and ask for her parents' consent."
What he meant was to tell Shi Hong not to address her casually before they got married, as it would be bad for lesbians if they were heard by her.
"Hey, this is a good thing, Comrade Xu, don't worry, but it will be a matter of time." Shi Hong smiled and said, "The Long March has overcome the most difficult hurdle, so isn't it stable, old man?"
But it's not easy for this guy to find a partner. He chased her for a month, and after they got together, he still had to spend time and effort to give her gifts every day. Now he has to spend time and effort on his father-in-law.
Unlike him, when he saw her, he directly found a matchmaker, put forward his conditions, and got married when he was willing.
Xu Sui put the small table in place and opened the meal prepared by Director Yang.
It contains pork belly soup and white rice.
She remembered that her sister also got up early in the morning to buy pork tripe.
Like cures like, indeed this idea has been around for a long time. I guess her sister and Director Yang have been making pork belly soup these days.
Shi Hong was envious, "You eat fine food and meat every day, and you have a partner to accompany you. You are living a good life even though you are injured."
He talked to Lu Chenghuai about some things in the army, then stood up and said, "Okay, I have to go home for dinner, so I came to see if you are doing well. Comrade Xu, please give this lunch box to Director Yang. It should be easier for you to go home."
Xu Sui stood up to see him off.
Lu Chenghuai looked gentle while eating, making almost no noise, but he was actually eating very quickly, and after just a few words, he was almost done.
Xu Sui frowned subconsciously, "You should eat slowly in the future, otherwise it will be bad for your stomach."
Over the past few months, she has been improving Xu Mian's health while also slowly changing her eating habits.
In addition to eating quickly, Xu Mian will drink ice water directly when the weather is hot. Although the country advocates boiled water, people drink a lot of water in summer and it is troublesome to boil water. In winter, Xu Mian will drink boiling water while blowing on it.
But later she found out that it was not just Xu Mian, most military wives had the same living habits.
"Okay." Lu Chenghuai listened with a smile in his eyes.
She never reminded him of such little things before.
On the other side, Shi Hong returned home, opened the lid of the stove and saw that it was empty.
He went to the living room again, but there was nothing on the table either. Not to mention any food, there wasn't even a bun.
"Wife, where's the food?" Shi Hong shouted towards the bedroom, "Didn't you go to the cafeteria to get food tonight?"
"Okay, my son is reading! Speak softly and don't disturb him." Du Rantong came out of the bedroom, frowning and looking impatient. "Who asked you to come back so late? I thought you went to the cafeteria to eat!"
"I went to the hospital to visit Captain Lu. I had something important to tell him." Shi Hong lowered his voice. "So what did you eat tonight? There must be some leftovers, right?"
His wife has a small appetite, and his son doesn't eat much either, but she has big eyes and a small stomach. If it's just the two of them at home, half of the food will be left over.
"What happened to Captain Lu? Why are you in the hospital?" Du Rantong asked, pointing at the cabinet, "There are two steamed buns in there. You can get some pickled vegetables to go with them."
It would be nice to have steamed buns with pickled vegetables, so Shi Hong went straight to the cupboard and started eating without even heating it up.
It wasn't until Du Rantong asked the same question again that he remembered to answer, "So I didn't tell you that several comrades were injured during this mission. Captain Lu was shot in the stomach and needs to rest in the hospital for a while before he can come out."
He was eating steamed bread, "I just happened to run into his girlfriend when I went there. I guess his girlfriend will be with him these few days. She came to the hospital as soon as she got off work. It seems that Captain Lu still has some vision. No matter how hard it is to chase a girl at first, she will be more and more devoted to you after you are together."
Speaking of this, Shi Hong felt that the pickled vegetables in his hands had no taste. He had been to the hospital before, and Du Rantong had come several times at that time. She complained that the smell of disinfectant in the hospital was unpleasant.
He subconsciously glanced at his wife. Under the light, Du Rantong was tall. Although her skin was not white, it was considered fair on the island. She had a pretty face and was clean from head to toe. The most important thing was that even when she was standing, her back was straight, and she had an elegant temperament at first glance.
The slight unhappiness in my heart just now disappeared.
