Chapter 74: His wife who studied abroad actually reads this kind of book?
Zhu Yaoyao reached out and pinched Ruan Anan's collagen-filled cheek with considerable force, with a hint of disappointment in her.
"He really has you in his heart! You're capable and have good ideas, but you just lack a thread of love! Okay, go to sleep quickly. Go find him tomorrow and talk it out!"
Ruan Anan rubbed her face which was pinched sore and smiled: "Doctor Zhu, you are such a good person!"
"Why does it sound like you're scolding me?"
Zhu Yaoyao rolled his eyes at her unhappily and lay back on the bed.
"Go to sleep quickly. I'll hold you in my arms and keep you warm!"
"Sister, keep yourself warm, I'm leaving now!"
Ruan Anan quickly rolled off the bed and walked quickly towards the door.
"Ruan Anan! You are a heartless ungrateful bastard!"
Zhu Yaoyao's angry curses came from behind, accompanied by the sound of pillows pounding.
"You've forgotten me because you have a man! Just wait for me!"
Ruan Anan curled the corners of her mouth, trotted downstairs, and went straight to Xu Yancheng's office.
She is the kind of person who always solves problems immediately when she finds them, and never drags her feet.
Zhu Yaoyao is right. When a couple lives together, they must discuss things with each other and respect each other.
Although I have never had a serious relationship in my two lifetimes, I have decided to give it a try with Xu Yancheng.
Then we must not do such things that hurt people's hearts.
Xu Yancheng is also a flesh-and-blood person.
He would be angry and sad because he cared about her.
She couldn't completely ignore his feelings and take risks as she pleased just because she had a prophetic perspective.
Electricity is a scarce commodity these days, and when it's time, the corridor is dark.
Ruan Anan took out a flashlight from the space, and as soon as she turned it on, she saw a handsome face in front of her.
"Ahhh! Ghost!"
Ruan Anan was so frightened that she lost her balance in an instant and fell straight backwards.
It's over! This time I have to open my head!
Ruan Anan closed her eyes in despair.
However, the expected severe pain did not come.
A large hand with thin calluses firmly supported her lower back and pulled her back into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, it's me!"
Ruan Anan opened her eyes in shock.
In the flashlight's halo, there was Xu Yancheng's handsome face with sharp edges.
But... the angle of light is too tricky!
He held the flashlight in front of him, shining the light straight up from under his chin, making his face look like a ghost with a green face and fangs.
Xu Yancheng helped Ruan Anan in his arms to regain his balance. Looking at the pair of sparkling eyes in the darkness, his anger immediately subsided. "It's so late, where are you going?"
Ruan Anan hesitated, "I came to you to admit my mistake, I..."
Xu Yancheng placed his fingers on Ruan Anan's tender lips, stopping her from saying anything else.
"You're not wrong, it's my fault."
"I'm not very good at speaking nice things. But I know you must have your reasons for doing this. What I should do is trust you and protect you, not hold you back and embarrass you."
His eyes locked onto her gravely. "And I shouldn't have slammed the door and left just now, and I shouldn't have... asked you to bow your head first."
Ruan Anan: ...
You call this not being able to speak? This is amazing!
This mouth can really make someone die!
Suppressing her surging emotions, she looked at Xu Yancheng seriously.
"I was indeed wrong about this matter. We are still husband and wife. I informed everyone I could, but I left you out, the one who should know the most. This is disrespectful to you. Xu Yancheng, I'm sorry."
When Xu Yancheng heard this, his heart softened.
He took Ruan Anan's hand and naturally took the flashlight from her hand.
"You don't have to apologize to me. No matter what you do in the future, I will support you."
Both of them deliberately slowed down their pace along the way, but it took them several minutes to walk just a dozen meters.
When he arrived at the door of the interrogation room, Xu Yancheng picked up the insulated lunch box placed at the door.
"This is the minced meat noodle soup I made for you."
"I know you crave meat, but don't eat too much. Just satisfy your craving."
"Minced meat noodle soup?" Ruan Anan was surprised and delighted. "Let me tell you, midnight snacks are the source of human happiness."
"It would be perfect to have spicy crayfish while staying up late to watch TV series."
"Although we don't have spicy crayfish here, your minced meat noodle soup is pretty good too."
"Watch a TV series? Spicy crayfish?"
Xu Yancheng was from Hai City and came to Nansha Island in Min City to serve in the army.
I am a typical person who finds braised beef noodles spicy.
These words combined together were a bit beyond his scope.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't understand!"
Ruan Anan almost let the cat out of the bag, but quickly tried to make amends, saying, "It's still early, why don't you read a book together and have a midnight snack?"
Eat together? My wife means...
Xu Yancheng felt a surge of heat rushing up to his ears.
His mind was a little dazed, but his body had already followed Ruan Anan into the house.
"Come, come, sit down!" Ruan Anan took out a stack of picture books with colorful covers from the space as if presenting treasures.
After stacking them on the table, he turned around and reminded, "Lock the door!"
Xu Yancheng: ...
No? Did my wife bring so many banned books when she came?
When she came here, she didn't see these in her luggage! If someone found out...
Xu Yancheng panicked for a moment and immediately locked the door. Just as he was about to ask, Ruan Anan threw a book to him.
"Look at this! This is a martial arts novel, full of fighting and killing. You guys will definitely love it!"
Xu Yancheng looked at her excitement, smiled indulgently, and lowered his head to read the picture book in his hand.
I just took a look at it and felt something was wrong. This style...
He subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at the cover of the thick book in Ruan Anan's hand.
Jin...Jin Ping Mei?!
His wife who studied abroad actually reads this kind of book?
His eyes quickly moved back to the picture book in his hand as if they were burned.
But when squeezed in this small interrogation room with Ruan Anan, he couldn't help but glance at her out of the corner of his eye.
He couldn't read any of the words on the page.
He slammed the book shut and stood up almost as if running away.
"An An, it's too late. You should go to bed early. I'm going back first!"
Ruan Anan looked up from the book in confusion: "Ah? Are you leaving now? I haven't finished the noodle soup yet..."
"Eat it! Eat it while it's hot!"
Xu Yancheng dropped the words and almost rushed out, leaving Ruan Anan with a puzzled look on her face.
The next morning, the canteen kitchen was busy and steam was rising.
Aunt Zhang, the chef, was waving a big spoon when she saw a familiar figure leaning in through the window.
"Aunt Zhang, I remember your hometown in Sichuan Province. Do you know how to make spicy crayfish?"
"Oh! Captain Xu!" Aunt Zhang was so overwhelmed by his question that the spoon in her hand almost hit the edge of the pot.
"What kind of crayfish do you want to eat so early in the morning? I've never heard of them! Could they be prawns from the sea?"
"If you crave spicy food, I'll stir-fry some fresh shrimp with chili peppers for you after the typhoon passes. They're not available now."
Xu Yancheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"No need to bother, just teach me how to stir-fry the shrimp! It doesn't matter what kind of shrimp, the key is to make it spicy and numbing!"
Aunt Zhang smiled mischievously, "Captain Xu is thinking about making spicy dishes so early in the morning."
"I'm afraid you're not anxious to please your wife, are you?"
