This was a torment for Qiao Shanshan.
Lu Jinwen and Qiao Ru didn't sleep all night. They either chatted and talked or did things in bed. The bed shook all night, and the jarring sound seemed to be a merciless mockery of Qiao Shanshan.
Qiao Shanshan admitted that she felt lost.
In order to marry Dai Donglin, she did not choose her husband Lu Jinwen from her previous life. Lu Jinwen and Qiao Ru became a couple, but what if she had not been able to marry Dai Donglin in the end?
What if she, like Qiao Ru said, picks up a sesame seed but loses a watermelon?
If Dai Donglin doesn't like her, and Lu Jinwen doesn't like her either, where else can Qiao Shanshan go?
If her elders from her past life were taken away by someone else, will there be a good man waiting for her in this life, Qiao Shanshan?
Qiao Shanshan didn't sleep all night and got up groggily the next morning. Qiao Ru next door also didn't sleep all night, but she was pampered by Lu Jinwen all night. Although she was quite tired, it was her first day of marriage. After getting up, there were no in-laws urging her, no sisters-in-law watching her, and no annoying relatives coming and going.
When Qiao Ru got up, Lu Jinwen had already returned from getting food at the cafeteria.
The team granted them leave, and Lu Jinwen planned to rest for a few days to nurture their relationship. If Qiao Ru wanted to go out, she could also visit Beijing.
However, Qiao Ru didn't really plan to go out.
Firstly, going out costs money, and they were already quite strapped for cash after the wedding. They needed to be frugal, and Qiao Ru hoped she could be more thrifty. Secondly, her relationship with Lu Jinwen was still unstable, and Qiao Ru felt uneasy. If the two of them could spend more time together these few days, Lu Jinwen might like her even more.
Whether a person is doing well or not will show on their face. If Lu Jinwen likes her, that feeling can't be hidden. Everyone in the team will know, even Qiao Shanshan next door will know.
Qiao Ru always remembered what Qiao Shanshan said: Qiao Shanshan dreamed that in another time and space, Lu Jinwen was Qiao Shanshan's husband.
Qiao Ru always felt uneasy. She hoped that Qiao Shanshan could see her happy, but she was powerless to take it away. She hoped that her relationship with Lu Jinwen would take a step further, and that the two of them would have a child, and that Lu Jinwen would be inseparable from her.
Qiao Ru didn't want to go out, and Lu Jinwen couldn't force her.
Lu Jinwen often strolled around the vicinity of Beijing and visited all the major tourist attractions. He wasn't particularly interested in them, but he did so to keep Qiao Ru company. Qiao Ru wanted to rest at home, so of course he would cooperate.
Lu Jinwen, holding the breakfast he had prepared, looked at Qiao Ru with a bit of embarrassment.
"Come and eat. I made congee, eggs, and a few side dishes. It's a bit simple, but I'll make something for you next time."
Qiao Ru's eyes widened. "You can cook?"
"Why not? What's wrong with a grown man cooking?"
Lu Jinwen found it amusing. How many men in the team couldn't cook? Those men who sat around enjoying being served by their wives weren't incapable of cooking; they were just lazy and wanted to take advantage of their wives without putting in any effort. Lu Jinwen wasn't that kind of person.
"Does it still hurt?" Lu Jinwen asked in a low voice.
Qiao Ru shook her head shyly.
"I heard that the first time is very painful, why aren't you in much pain? We came several times last night, are you sure you don't have any discomfort? If you are uncomfortable, you must tell me, don't swallow the pain and bear it in your heart just to satisfy me."
He is such a good and considerate man.
Qiao Ru honestly said, "I really don't feel any pain. Maybe everyone's body structure is different. I just feel a little sore and a little sleepy."
Qiao Ru is indeed quite attractive.
Neither of them had any experience, but after trying things out last night, they felt their hearts were getting closer and closer.
"Then why don't you eat breakfast and take a nap?"
Qiao Ru's eyes widened. Eat breakfast and then go back to sleep? Good heavens, if this were in the countryside, the whole village would know. Aren't newlywed brides supposed to be diligent and make a good impression?
Lu Jinwen seemed to read her mind and smiled, saying:
"We don't need to be too formal. Just give me some face in front of outsiders. At home, you can do whatever you want and sleep in as late as you want."
Even though Lu Jinwen said that, Qiao Ru was still embarrassed. So many eyes in the team were watching her. What if people said she was lazy? It would be so embarrassing if word got out.
Besides, the sheets were a mess last night, so they need to be changed and washed.
Qiao Ru was washing bed sheets at the door. When Qiao Shanshan saw her rosy complexion, she felt particularly uncomfortable, remembering Qiao Ru's recklessness last night.
Does Qiao Ru really have to get up so early to show off?
They washed the bed sheets the day after their wedding, as if they were afraid people wouldn't know how intense their battle had been.
"Sis, have you finished breakfast?" Qiao Ru asked.
Qiao Shanshan didn't answer and went to the infirmary with her head down.
When Qiao Shanshan first started working at the infirmary, some boys in the team who were interested in her would come to the infirmary to see her under various pretexts. However, Qiao Shanshan didn't take them seriously at all. They were far inferior to Dai Donglin. They were neither handsome nor tall, nor mature, and their family backgrounds were not as good as Dai Donglin's.
Qiao Shanshan thought to herself that she didn't give these boys a friendly look.
These boys knew she didn't like them, so they gradually stopped coming.
After what happened between Chu Yu and Yu Xiangwen, Dai Donglin believed her, but he felt like he was being fried in oil every day.
Chu Yu may not have any other thoughts, but does Yu Xiangwen have any?
In other words, since Chu Yu was in the mainland, Dai Donglin was able to protect him. He also used the analogy that Xiang Wen knew Chu Yu early on, which gave him the advantage.
Imagine if he had told Xiang Wenchi that he knew Chu Yu, if he hadn't been so good to Chu Yu, if Xiang Wenchi and Chu Yu had gone through hardships together, given Xiang Wenchi's abilities, wouldn't the two have developed feelings for each other?
