No matter how prosperous Shanghai is now, it is less than one-tenth of the Magic City in the future. Xu Sui is no longer unfamiliar with this era as she was when she first traveled through time. She wants Shanghai to survive in this era. There is a way, but no need.
Xu Sui said what she meant. For her, the only convenient place in Shanghai was the library that did not have an entrance.
Lu Chenghuai glanced at her with a smile in his eyes.
He took his partner's words as proof of her love for him. After all, no one around him wanted to live in the country instead of in the city.
As they were talking, the two of them got on the bus.
They arrived a little late, and the bus was the last one, with quite a few people already on it.
There were no seats, so the two of them stood in the aisle near the door. Xu Sui looked out the window, and Lu Chenghuai stood behind her, facing her. The tall figure suddenly leaned forward slightly.
Lu Chenghuai's clear voice rang in her ears, and her ear tips were invaded by his breath, bringing a slight itch, "I remember that we first met here. It's been a month, and I don't even remember how I behaved at the time, but it must have been stupid."
His most profound impression was her smile, and he was like a young boy at that time, his heart pounding, and he only knew to help carry the luggage.
Well, he is still carrying her luggage for her now, as a partner.
The corners of Xu Sui's lips lifted up unconsciously, and her eyes were bright with smile.
In fact, she was more impressed by his white military uniform than by him as a person, and she never thought that they would have such an intersection later.
But she still turned her head and gave him her usual smile, "The impression you gave me at that time was that of a very dignified and handsome PLA soldier, and also someone who was willing to help others."
Lu Chenghuai looked at her smiling face without picking up anything, with the fingers of his left hand curled up. He really wanted to reach out and press the corner of her mouth.
Unfortunately, many people in the car cast their eyes at them secretly, so he suppressed this inappropriate thought.
The bus started slowly, bringing with it a gust of yellow sand.
When they arrived at the family's home, Xu Sui felt relieved when she got off the car and smelled the fresh air. She really couldn't bear to smell the mixed smell in the car. Fortunately, the smell was not so strong in winter. If it was summer, she would definitely resist riding in a car.
However, when she walked into the family compound again, she actually felt like she was back home.
Occasionally, sisters-in-law would greet her along the way, but it was much less than usual. After all, the man next to her looked intimidating enough when he was calm.
As soon as Xu Sui arrived at the gate of the yard, two little figures came to greet her, "Aunt! You're finally back!"
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan knew that their aunt was on a business trip. They had no idea what a business trip was. They knew that their aunt said she was going out for two days and would definitely bring back the latest hair ornaments that could not be bought on the island.
The two of them were looking forward to it eagerly. Even when Xu Mian told them the date when Xu Sui would come back, they would still stare at the gate of the yard every night and rarely even played with other children.
Xu Sui squatted down and hugged them both. To be fair, she hugged them both at the same time, one in each hand.
It's hard not to feel soft-hearted about the children's tiny bodies, so Xu Sui didn't deliberately whet their appetites. She brought the luggage bag to the living room and took out the gifts for them.
She also gave Xu Mian a cotton jacket and Xu Bing a bottle of wine. Although Xu Mian told her not to spend money on her anymore, Xu Sui saw that her sister really liked the cotton jacket.
The bright blue and white plaid is rare in this gray era, and it makes the whole person look better.
Xu Mian went to the kitchen to cook, Xu Bing went to fetch water, and Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan excitedly put on their hair flowers and ran out to play.
Xu Sui took out the red scarf and obviously felt that Lu Chenghuai's eyes lit up.
She handed the scarf to him, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said, "Put it on me."
Lu Chenghuai was naturally very happy to use his own object, not to mention that this was what he wanted to do.
Lu Chenghuai stood up, walked to her, and tied the scarf from behind her neck to the front. After tying it, he paused in the air for a moment, and finally lifted her hair and took it out from under the scarf.
Xu Sui turned around and looked at him, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good." Lu Chenghuai could hardly take his eyes off the object.
The red scarf made her face look even whiter and her eyes looked even more charming when she smiled.
Black hair, fair face, moist lips, and that charming smile.
Lu Chenghuai felt that his voice was a little hoarse, and said affirmatively: "It's very beautiful."
Xu Mian was just coming out of the kitchen to get some sugar. When she saw Xu Sui, her eyes lit up. "Sui, you look so beautiful in this red scarf."
Although the clothes are just ordinary cotton padded jackets, the red scarf really adds some color to it. It’s because Xu Sui has fair skin that she looks even better with it.
Xu Mian came over and touched it. "This scarf is made of good material. It must be expensive."
Xu Sui mentioned a price, and Xu Mian nodded, "It's worth it."
But if she were asked to buy one, she would be reluctant to spend the money on a scarf. She would rather buy a few balls of thread and crochet it herself.
But when her sister bought things for her, Xu Mian never said it was a waste or unnecessary, as long as she liked it.
The meal was very sumptuous in the evening. Xu Bing brought out some wine and poured a small glass for Lu Chenghuai each. They didn't drink too much, but just drank to warm up and go well with the dishes.
It was dark early in the winter, and Xu Sui came to see Lu Chenghuai off to the gate of the courtyard.
The doors of the courtyards opposite and next to it were all closed, and there was not even any light. I guess it was because of the cold weather, so they went to bed early.
Behind him was the courtyard wall, and he could vaguely hear Xu Mian telling Tuantuan and Yuanyuan to wash up.
After Lu Chenghuai came out, he said, "Go back to sleep. You've been busy these days. I'll come find you when you get off work tomorrow."
He wanted to stay with his partner for a while longer, but he knew that it would be most comfortable to stay indoors in a warm place.
Xu Sui grabbed his left hand and placed it in her palm.
Lu Chenghuai coordinated with his opponent's movements, and the next second, he felt a chill covering his wrist.
Xu Sui put the watch on him, then raised her left hand and pulled up her sleeve to reveal the silver dial. "We are wearing the same watch."
There was no concept of rings at this time. Xu Sui brought the two people's wrists closer and watched for a while, "I think it's really beautiful."
Lu Chenghuai held her wrist and gently kissed the back of her hand.
He lowered his eyes and stared at her, his gaze focused and sincere, "Sui Sui, I want to kiss you."
