Chapter 261 I Have a Big Secret
Su Lu was dragged out of the house by Qin Erzhu and Qin Ergou. He still had to go out to entertain guests, so he didn't have time to spend with Qin Xiaoxiao.
Before leaving, Su Lu asked Liu Meijuan to make Qin Xiaoxiao a bowl of noodles.
Liu Meijuan was quick; a dozen minutes later, she brought over a bowl of shredded pork noodles, topped with a few scallions—it looked so appetizing.
Having been hungry all morning, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to grab the bowl and start eating heartily.
Upon entering, Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she looked intently at Liu Meijuan.
"Sister Liu, did you make these noodles?"
Liu Meijuan rolled her eyes at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Otherwise what? Hurry up and eat, eating won't shut you up."
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and quickly finished the bowl.
"Sis, this is delicious! I never knew you had this skill."
Liu Meijuan took the bowl and said, "My family has been cooks for generations. I watched my dad cook in the kitchen since I was a child, and even though I was clumsy, I learned how."
Liu Meijuan waved her hand dismissively and went out with the bowl in her hand.
Qin Xiaoxiao kicked the Su sisters out of the new house and told them to hurry up and eat. She was bored by herself and soon became drowsy again.
She was in a daze and didn't know how much time had passed. The sounds in the front yard of the educated youth compound gradually stopped. Su Lu also took the opportunity to come and see Qin Xiaoxiao several times. Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao was very sleepy, he didn't disturb her and even gently put her on the kang to continue sleeping.
Qin Xiaoxiao finally woke up completely around 3 p.m., stretched, and stared blankly out the window.
Half an hour later, Su Lu returned to the room and saw Qin Xiaoxiao sitting blankly on the kang with a tuft of hair sticking up on her head.
Su Lu was amused by Qin Xiaoxiao's appearance. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, patted the tuft of hair on her head, and said with a smile, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I'm not hungry. Have all the guests in the front yard left?"
Su Lu nodded. "I've almost left. I came back to check on you and ask if you're hungry. If there's nothing else, I'll go return the tables and chairs."
Qin Xiaoxiao pushed Su Lu aside, "Then hurry up and go, and bring back the leftovers too. We can just eat something simple tonight."
Su Lu touched Qin Xiaoxiao's cheek. "Okay, wait for me to come back."
That's how things are done in the countryside. When one family needs something done, everyone helps out. Otherwise, no one family would have so many tables, chairs, and bowls. You can just return them after you're done using them.
Seeing that the female educated youths in the educated youth compound had almost finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, Su Lu quickly thanked them and then, along with several male educated youths, carried basins and baskets to return the dishes and chopsticks to each household.
After returning the bowls and chopsticks, the dozen or so people returned the tables and chairs together, leaving most of the leftover food for the educated youth as a token of their gratitude. Su Lu then carried the remaining dishes back to the backyard.
Upon returning to the backyard, Su Lu immediately notified Mu Jin, instructing her to close the door securely. He planned to keep the door closed from time to time and avoid using it as much as possible, primarily to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
Holding the only key, Mu Jin locked the door with great satisfaction.
Su Lu is alright; Qin Xiaoxiao has good taste.
When Su Lu returned, Qin Xiaoxiao had already tidied up the red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds on the kang (heated brick bed) and put them in a basket. These were all good things that Su Lu had specially bought from the black market and would be useful in the future.
Su Lu didn't let Qin Xiaoxiao move anymore. He cooked some food himself and called Qin Xiaoxiao over to eat.
After dinner, Su Lu excitedly went to wash up first. Ten minutes later, Su Lu returned to the room with her hair still wet.
Qin Xiaoxiao had also changed into her new pajamas and was sitting cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a smile, looking at him.
Su Lu threw down the towel, strode onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and reached out to hug Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Wife, I've finally waited for this day."
After saying that, Su Lu pushed Qin Xiaoxiao to fall onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
Qin Xiaoxiao quickly raised her hand to stop him, "Wait a minute, we haven't finished yet."
Su Lu frowned slightly. "Today is our wedding day. What could be more important than our wedding night? Little darling, let me kiss you a couple of times first."
Taking advantage of Qin Xiaoxiao's inattention, Su Lu's red lips landed on Qin Xiaoxiao's face. He tried to kiss her lips again, but Qin Xiaoxiao dodged him.
Su Lu glared at Qin Xiaoxiao with great dissatisfaction and asked aggrievedly, "Xiaoxiao, what do you mean?"
He'd waited so long for this day, couldn't they have talked about it later? He really couldn't wait any longer.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and patted Su Lu's hand reassuringly, "Be good, listen to me. I'm not going anywhere. Once we've finished our business, you can do whatever you want."
Su Lu's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Are you serious? I can do whatever I want? Everything is up to me?"
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, and even gave Su Lu a flirty wink, "Of course, today is our big day. From now on, you will be my rightful husband. Of course, you can do whatever you want, and I will listen to you."
Well, let's listen to him today. This is the only chance in his life to turn things around and be in charge, so we have to give him that one.
Su Lu looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with surprise and delight, "Then, it's settled. I'll be in charge of everything from now on."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Of course, I keep my word."
Su Lu clapped his hands and said, "Alright, then tell me, what's more important than our wedding night?"
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled at him, cupping Su Lu's face in her hands. "Su Lu, I told you before that I had a secret to tell you today, and now I can tell you."
Su Lu frowned slightly. "Is that all? Actually, I don't really care. How about we talk about it tomorrow?"
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "That won't do. We agreed to say it today, and we absolutely have to say it today."
Su Lu sighed helplessly, "Fine, go ahead and tell me."
Qin Xiaoxiao immediately straightened her face and looked at Su Lu seriously.
“Su Lu, I have a big secret. This secret is related to my life and death. No matter what happens between us in the future, I hope you can keep this secret for me forever.”
Su Lu immediately sensed something was wrong, sat up straight, and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with displeasure.
"No, what do you mean? What do you mean that no matter what happens to us in the future, you still intend to break up with me?"
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head with a straight face, "No, it's just that life is a long journey, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. I'm afraid that one day you will fall in love with someone else, and then..."
Before Qin Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, Su Lu, filled with anger, forcefully silenced her with a kiss.
They pressed their lips together, lingering for a long time until Qin Xiaoxiao's lips were swollen, before Su Lu finally released her with a stiff expression.
"Qin Xiaoxiao, you remember this: never say such things again, not even think about it. I will never fall in love with anyone else in this life, and you are not allowed to either."
We will never be apart in this lifetime. You, Qin Xiaoxiao, can only belong to me for the rest of your life.
He finally managed to marry a wife who wanted to leave him—how could he accept that? He didn't want to grow old alone.
