Chapter 20: Bluff



Su Ting found it very strange, how could he like her?

Obviously, the original body has the same figure and appearance as her. Although the original body later abused He Yan, she still has a lot of love for He Dongchuan at this time, so her performance should be good.

But according to the original character's memories in the extra chapter of the novel, the layer of ice surrounding He Dongchuan has never melted.

Therefore, although Su Ting guessed that something else might have happened in the novel, which led to He Dongchuan's indifference from beginning to end, after all, the original character in the extra story was still blaming He Dongchuan in her heart, and the memories were written from her perspective, so it was normal to be beautify them.

But He Dongchuan's indifference left a deep impression on Su Ting. From the time she entered the book till now, she had never thought about the possibility of him falling in love with her, because she had a clear understanding of herself.

He Dongchuan said that she was kind, frank and soft-hearted, but she never thought so. She always thought that she was an indifferent person and was lazy to maintain relationships.

She has never donated money, rarely lends a helping hand to beggars on the street, does not show much sympathy when seeing tragic stories on the Internet, has never raised a cat, and has never fed stray dogs.

She didn't really like children, so as she grew older, although she had the idea of ​​finding someone to start a family, the idea was not strong and the matter was put on hold.

She is just an ordinary person who lives alone and indifferently.

She never thought that her personality was likable, nor did she think that He Dongchuan would fall in love with her inner self.

Su Ting feels that she is now like Ye Gong who likes dragons more than Ye Gong. When she didn't know that He Dongchuan liked her, she thought she could give it a try with him. Anyway, he is handsome and has a good figure. It's really a good opportunity for her to get him.

Now that I'm sure he likes her, I start to hesitate, worried that he has misunderstandings about her. I think he will regret it once he knows what she is really like.

After hesitating, Su Ting asked, "What if the real me is different from what you think?"

He Dongchuan thought for a moment and asked, "Did you pretend to be someone else during this time?"

"no."

"Then why is the real you different from what I thought you were?"

Su Ting asked uncertainly: "Maybe... I don't think I'm that kind?"

He Dongchuan laughed softly.

Su Ting wrinkled her nose: "Are you laughing at me?"

"No." He Dongchuan shook his head and changed the subject, "I think you think this way because you have a high sense of morality and like to reflect on yourself. If you are really not kind enough, you will not consider this problem. Even when someone questions you, your first reaction will be, I am so kind, how can you think I am not good enough?"

Su Ting felt that He Dongchuan was worthy of being a leader, and he was good at doing ideological work for people. For example, she was very upset now, so she decided to give him a chance, raised her chin and said, "Since you like me so much, let's live a good life in the future."

Anyway, he has already said this, and if he dares to say "I didn't expect you to be such a person" in the future, she will have something to say back.

Now it was He Dongchuan's turn to be stunned.

Because of what she said to He Yan, he thought she would think about it for a while. After all, his performance was not very good when they just got married, which might easily hurt her feelings. She might be disappointed in him and even find it difficult to trust him.

Before knocking on the door of the master bedroom, He Dongchuan had already made long-term preparations. Today, he mainly wanted to explain his ideas to Su Ting and get an opportunity.

He didn't expect Su Ting to agree to him so easily.

Although he was surprised, He Dongchuan did not stupidly ask her about his doubts. Instead, he chose to take advantage of the situation and asked, "Can I move back to the master bedroom today?"

Su Ting looked up at the sky and laughed, "Well... I need to think about it again. Let's see how you do."

Although she didn't mind having sex with He Dongchuan and was a little looking forward to it in her heart, it was he who suggested separate rooms, and now he said he would move back, so didn't she have any face?

What?

She hadn’t put it on yet when we were assigned to new rooms?

But no one else knew about this except herself, so she had to show her attitude.

He Dongchuan didn't think it was wrong after hearing this. He had always felt that this matter was not that easy. It was good that he could explain it clearly today and set the tone for future interactions.

Take your time.

When He Yan arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang Xiaokai was sitting on a small stool, using a high stool as a desk to do his homework.

Ever since she knew that He Yan could score 40 or 50 points in the exam after only one month of classes, Huang Wenxia felt that she couldn't be too gentle with Zhang Xiaokai. Forget about going out to play. The first thing she had to do when she got home every day was to do her homework for me! The same applies to holidays!

So after finishing breakfast, before Zhang Xiaokai could successfully walk out of the yard, his mother remembered him, called him back, and put him on the small stool.

Zhang Xiaokai feels so miserable!

When Zhang Xiaokai saw He Yan appear in the yard holding a toy car, he felt even more miserable.

He felt sad, but Huang Wenxia was very happy to see He Yan. Parents all hope that their children can play with children with good grades.

Although He Yan's ranking in this exam was not outstanding, even worse than Zhang Xiaokai, but people have a short time to learn! He ranked third from the bottom this time, but maybe he will be third from the top next time.

It has to be said that Huang Wenxia has more confidence in He Yan than He Yan himself.

Huang Wenxia had a lot of calculations in mind. Her son was so stupid that even students with good grades might not be willing to play with him. So she wanted to build a good relationship with He Yan now, and when He Yan's grades improved, he could help her son with his studies.

This is a potential stock!

Huang Wenxia personally moved a stool to the courtyard, asked He Yan to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Have you had breakfast?"

"have eaten."

"You came here right after dinner?"

He Yan nodded and shook his head: "I went to the amusement park before." Thinking of what happened at the amusement park, he wrinkled his nose.

Huang Wenxia thought he had come to her house because he didn't find her at the amusement park, so she continued to ask, "Have you done your homework?"

"It was finished yesterday."

Although elementary school students have homework every day, there is not much homework on Sundays. Many children have to help with chores at home during the holidays.

"You are still a good boy," Huang Wenxia praised. When she turned to look at her son, her brows furrowed. "Look at Xiaoyan, you finished your homework yesterday. Look at yourself. If I hadn't stopped you, would you have gone crazy again today?"

Zhang Xiaokai has nothing to love: "I am writing my homework... I am really writing it."

"You not only have to write, but you have to write well!" Huang Wenxia's tone changed in a second, "Xiao Yan, you stay here and help Auntie watch him do his homework. When he finishes his homework, you can check it for him. If there is no problem, you can go out and play. Is that okay?"

He Yan: "...Okay."

So in the following time, Zhang Xiaokai was busy doing his homework while He Yan was playing with his toy truck.

Although the toy truck made an appearance at the playground last week, He Yan has not left the house this week except for going to school. There are not many parents in the family compound who are willing to buy such a big toy truck for their children. The second toy truck didn't show up.

Therefore, He Yan's toy truck was still a cool sight in the compound. After he fiddled with it for a while at the door of Zhang's house, the kids next door came over and wanted to play with him.

He Yan readily accepted the other party's offer. It would be more fun to play with a toy car if there were more people playing with it.

First it was the kids next door, then the kids passing by outside the yard. More and more children gathered around He Yan, and everyone was having a great time playing around the toy cars.

Zhang Xiaokai was so eager to get up from the pony that he tried several times, but was quickly suppressed by his mother each time. He could only continue to do his homework miserably.

For a while, the Zhang family's yard was like a world of ice and fire.

The excitement and happiness belong to others, while the sadness and sorrow are his own. Zhang Xiaokai feels that his life is too hard!

After his grief, Zhang Xiaokai began to write furiously, and eventually he finished the homework that would normally take him two or three hours to finish in less than an hour.

Although the handwriting is a bit ugly, the accuracy is still okay.

Huang Wenxia was very satisfied. She did not let Zhang Xiaokai correct his mistakes now. She waved her hand and let him go.

Zhang Xiaokai shouted joyfully and dove directly into the circle of children surrounding He Yan. He was finally free!

This morning, Zhang Xiaokai, who had finally gained his freedom, played a little crazy. Of course, He Yan was almost the same. Amid everyone's crowds and envious eyes, his vanity was satisfied and he completely forgot about the bad things that happened in the morning.

It was not until he finished taking a shower in the evening and returned to his room to prepare for bed that he noticed the two pillows placed side by side on the bed when he tossed and turned. Then he remembered something very, very important.

He Yan turned over and sat up in bed. After thinking for a few seconds, he got out of bed, walked to the master bedroom in slippers and knocked on the door.

As soon as I knocked, Su Ting's voice came from inside: "Who?"

"Mom, it's me!" He Yan said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened from the inside. Su Ting, wearing a loose sweatshirt and trousers, leaned against the door frame with her hands on her chest, looked down at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I have something to tell you."

Seeing his serious expression, Su Ting couldn't help laughing. She looked up at the closed bathroom door and asked, "Do you want to go into the room and talk?"

He Yan nodded vigorously.

Su Ting turned aside, let He Yan in, closed the door and asked, "Can we talk now?"

He Yan nodded twice again, looked up at her and said, "I asked my father."

"What did you ask?" Su Ting asked casually as she walked towards the bed.

"You and dad are divorced. Is he willing to let me follow you?"

Su Ting paused as she just touched the bed. Thinking of the conversation she had with He Dongchuan during the day, she calmed down. She sat down against the head of the bed and asked, "What did your father say?"

"Dad said he would."

Su Ting was stunned: "Are you sure?"

He Yan puffed out his chest and said, "Yes, my father said so himself."

That's impossible, He Yan is his biological son!

It would be fine if she was He Yan's biological mother, but after the divorce, she handed her son to a stepmother who was not related to her by blood. How careless she must be! He Dongchuan didn't look like such an unreliable person.

Seeing that Su Ting didn't say anything, He Yan couldn't help but tears up in his eyes: "Don't you want me to follow you?"

"No, I just..." Su Ting denied it flatly, "Did your father say anything else at that time?"

“Yes.”

"What did you say?"

"Dad has a condition. If I follow you, I have to take Dad with me." He Yan blinked his big eyes and looked at Su Ting, and asked innocently, "Mom, can I take Dad with me then?"

Su Ting thought to herself, I have already divorced your father, and you bring him along, is this still called a divorce?

He Dongchuan is really something, he doesn't even fool children!

But facing He Yan's expectant eyes, Su Ting couldn't say no, so she could only say tactfully: "I can agree to you now, but I'm not sure if my mind will change in the future, and your father may not want to follow me by then."

They agreed to live like an ordinary couple in the future, so her original plan to divorce if he survived after three years changed.

If they divorce in the future, it will most likely be due to a breakdown in their relationship.

If it really comes to that, they will definitely dislike each other. Not to mention that she doesn't want to take He Dongchuan with her, he probably doesn't want to go with her either.

He Yan didn't think too much about it, and patted his chest and said, "It's okay, if Dad doesn't want to follow you, I will follow you!"

Seeing his confident look, Su Ting did not say anything sad, but reached out and ruffled his hair heavily.

The young man wailed, "My hair is going to be a mess!"

"You're going to sleep anyway, so it doesn't matter if you're a little messy!"

Su Ting yelled, and used more force on her hands, so when He Dongchuan came home after taking a shower and hanging out the clothes, he saw He Yan coming out of the master bedroom with a messy head through most of the living room.

He Dongchuan: "Your hairstyle is quite unique."

He Yan complained: "...It was all my mom who rubbed it!"

He Dongchuan said "oh", walked to his son, rubbed his hair heavily, and commented: "Well, it's quite comfortable."

He Yan: “…”

Half an hour had passed by the time the father and son lay down on the bed, turned on the light and prepared to go to sleep.

He Yan couldn't sleep, so he turned to look at his father's figure in the dark. He Dongchuan pulled his hair again and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

After hesitating for a while, He Yan asked, "Dad, will you and Mom still get divorced?"

Although his mother said she was willing to raise him, deep down he still didn't want his parents to divorce, because he didn't want to be separated from either of them and wanted to be with them forever.

In the darkness, He Dongchuan opened his eyes, but did not speak immediately. After a long silence, he asked, "Did your mother say she wanted to divorce me?"

He Yan shook his head and said, "No, but my mother said that if my father treats her badly in the future, she will divorce him."

He Dongchuan said: "That's it, I will always be good to your mother, so we will not get divorced."

"oh……"

He Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered Yu Hongzhi's words: "But other people's parents sleep together. If you and mom don't want to get divorced, then why don't you sleep together? Dad, does mom not like sleeping with you? If mom doesn't sleep with you, can I sleep with mom?" Originally, he wanted to sleep with his mother tonight, but he didn't bring it up because he was afraid that his father would be sad.

He Dongchuan: ...Okay, I'm trying my best. Don't upset your dad anymore.

I turned over and covered the little guy's mouth, who was still chattering: "Go to sleep."

At the end of the month, Su Ting, He Dongchuan and He Yan went to the city again and mailed the things for the Su family.

Before handing the package to the staff, Su Ting was nervous, fearing that what she had prepared was not suitable and that the letter she wrote might give her away. But when she actually received the receipt, she felt relieved.

Anyway, the items have been sent out and there is no way she can intercept them back, so there is no point in worrying about it.

Moreover, few people would believe in time travel even fifty years after it became popular, not to mention that it is the seventies now. She was just worrying unnecessarily before that.

After figuring it out, Su Ting happily followed He Dongchuan and his son and took a ride to Rong City Park.

Rongshi Park is a classical garden that was first built in the Jin Dynasty, and it has been more than a thousand years old. During this period, the garden has been expanded many times, and it has been expanded several times after liberation. Now it has become very large in scale.

Today, Rongshi Park has become a must-visit place for local people to relax and have fun. In the words of later generations, it is the city’s business card.

It was Sunday, so there were naturally many tourists in the park. Some were sightseeing, some were boating in the lake, and some parents were flying kites with their children, which made He Yan very happy.

Su Ting saw it and ran to inquire about it.

The kite was made of paper and the quality was not very good, but it was not expensive and more importantly, it did not require a ticket, so she generously bought one with a rabbit pattern and flew it together with He Yan.

As for He Dongchuan, although he is not old-fashioned, he pays close attention to his image when he goes out and would not easily do such unstable things.

After getting the kite, Su Ting handed the reel to He Yan and asked, "Do you know how to fly it?"

He Yan was very sure: "Yes!"

"Okay, I'll hold the kite, and you run forward while letting out the string." Su Ting said as she stepped back a dozen steps, distanced herself from He Yan, and shouted, "Run!"

He Yan started running, letting out the line as he ran.

Su Ting also ran along, trying to find an opportunity to release the kite.

But as she ran, Su Ting realized something was wrong. She was afraid that if she stopped, she would break the string of the kite, so she had to shout as she ran: "Why are you running with the wind? You should run against the wind! Against the wind!"

He Yan didn't quite understand what headwind meant, so he stopped at a loss.

Seeing his panic, Su Ting could only raise her hand and rub her brows, pointing at the older kids flying kites not far away. Just as she was about to tell them to run in one direction, He Dongchuan took the reel from him and said, "Let me do it."

"dad!"

"I'll put it down and give it to you." He Dongchuan said with his head down.

He Yan nodded immediately: "Yeah!"

He Dongchuan asked again: "Can you still run?"

"Not bad." Su Ting adjusted her position and ran against the wind with He Dongchuan.

Looking at the way He Dongchuan flies a kite, you can tell at a glance that he is really experienced. He lets go of the string and pulls it twice, and soon the kite is flying.

Su Ting no longer needed to run after him. She stopped and walked to He Yan's side by side, watching He Dongchuan fly the kite higher and higher with him.

Soon, their kite became the highest one flying on the grass.

He Yan's face flushed with excitement. He jumped and shouted, "Come on, Dad! Dad is the best!" He also looked up and asked Su Ting, "Mom! Is Dad the best?"

Su Ting smiled and said, "Yes, your father is the best!"

After the kite reached a certain height, He Dongchuan stopped letting out the line. Instead, he walked back to the two of them, handed the reel to He Yan, and bent over to tell him how to fly the kite higher.

After that, He Dongchuan let He Yan try to fly the kite for a while before letting go completely. He walked up to Su Ting and asked, "Would you like to buy another kite?"

"Still want to let it go?" Su Ting asked.

He Dongchuan did not answer, but just said: "Buy another one."

Su Ting paid for a kite. The owner's business was good and there were only two patterns left on the stall, an eagle and a butterfly.

She thought that since it was to congratulate Dong Chuanfang, she wanted to pick an eagle one, which would be more imposing. But before she could say anything, the people around her said they wanted a butterfly one, so she stopped talking.

The new kite flew smoothly again and took off in a short while. However, He Dongchuan did not let out the string to let it fly higher like he did just now. When it reached a certain height, he returned to Su Ting, handed her the reel and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

Su Ting already realized why he chose the butterfly pattern, but she deliberately asked, "Didn't you want to put it up?"

"I want to play with you." He Dongchuan said while hitting a straight ball.

Foul.

Su Ting thought in her heart, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

He Dongchuan walked around behind Su Ting, put the reel into her hand, and wrapped her with his broad palm. With his other hand, he held the kite line and whispered in her ear: "Hold the reel with your thumb and index finger, let out the line, and pull it twice..."

Just listening to his words, it seemed as if Su Ting was really a novice and he was really teaching students.

Su Ting smiled inwardly, and deliberately raised her head to blow on his smooth jaw. After he unconsciously clenched his teeth, she pinched her throat and said, "Teacher He, you must teach me how to fly a kite high."

When He Dongchuan taught Su Ting how to fly a kite, he held her in his arms. Although there was no actual physical contact between the two except their left hands, they were very close.

When she raised her head and spoke, her warm breath landed on his jaw, causing him to unconsciously tense his body and his breathing became heavy, not to mention that she deliberately pinched her throat and imitated the soft tone of a child.

Therefore, although He Dongchuan took ten seconds to calm his breathing, his voice was still tense when he spoke again: "Okay."

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Not only did He Dongchuan fail to teach Su Ting to fly the kite higher, but the two of them were also taught a lesson by the security team.

Su Ting has always known that the lifestyle in the 1970s was strictly controlled.

In her previous life, she had watched a period drama that was set in this era. The hero took the heroine on a business trip. Because he was the only one in the introduction letter, the hotel refused to let them get a room even after they showed their marriage certificate. Later, they finally found a hotel, but at night, they rolled up the sheets and collapsed the bed, and were arrested by the security team, which led to a series of farces.

Also, the reason why the original body and He Dongchuan got married was also related to their strict lifestyle, which is also an old routine in period literature.

Although it was clear in theory, Su Ting was a little confused about the boundaries when it came to practice. In addition, He Dongchuan, a native, dared to touch her hand in public, so she took the liberty to tease him back.

Who knew that this teasing would lead to trouble.

When Su Ting saw the group of people wearing red armbands rushing towards them while shouting "What are you doing? What are you doing?", she was stunned.

He Dongchuan reacted quickly, let go of Su Ting's hand and walked over to greet her.

He was so calm that the leader with the red armband lost his composure. He looked him up and down and asked politely, "Comrade, what's your name? Where are you from?"

He Dongchuan introduced himself: "My last name is He, I'm from the capital, and I'm currently serving in the army on Pingchuan Island."

"Do you have any ID?" the leader asked, glancing at Su Ting. "What is your relationship? What were you doing just now?"

He Dongchuan took out his military officer ID and handed it over, saying, "I brought my wife and son here to play today. Aren't they all flying kites? We also bought two. My wife doesn't know how to fly a kite, so I'll teach her."

The young man next to the leader muttered, "Just teach us how to fly a kite, why are you holding it so tightly?"

He Dongchuan asked calmly, "How about you teach me how to teach?"

"I came here just..."

"That's enough! What are you arguing about?" The team leader returned the documents to He Dongchuan and said with a smile, "Young people are ignorant, please don't be offended. By the way, you just said that you brought your children with you?"

He Dongchuan understood, raised his hand and called to He Yan who had just run over to him: "Xiao Yan, come and say hello to the uncles."

He Yan came over with the kite, looked at his serious father, then at his blushing mother, and finally turned to the group of people wearing red armbands and shouted, "Hello, uncles!"

After asking, he walked over to Su Ting, held her hand and asked, "Mom and Dad, are we still going to fly a kite?"

"Let's put it on later." He Dongchuan said.

Although the leader of the red armband group thought that Su Ting was too young to give birth to such a big child, he also thought that she might just look young and was actually already twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Besides, the child was already calling them mom and dad, so he could no longer doubt the relationship between He Dongchuan and Su Ting, so he said seriously, "I know you are just teaching how to fly kites, but this is outside, in front of everyone, so you still have to pay attention to the distance, otherwise it will have a bad impact, don't you think?"

He Dongchuan echoed, "Yes."

"Since you have such a positive attitude, let's forget about it this time. Just be careful next time."

He Dongchuan continued to echo: "We will definitely pay attention to this in the future."

The leader with a red armband nodded, said nothing more, and left with his men after saying hello. However, the young man next to him was very upset. When he left, he glared at He Dongchuan and chased after him, saying, "Captain, are you just going to let them go like this?"

The captain said calmly: "Come on, when the people were protecting their country, you were still playing in the mud at home, and you didn't listen to them. They just taught you how to fly a kite. It's not a big deal, don't make a fuss about it!"

Although the matter was resolved successfully, after what happened, the kite could definitely not be flown anymore.

In fact, Su Ting just wanted to get away as soon as possible.

Although the people who came to fly kites were not as formal as the security team, and there was an old lady who talked to her and said that they had a good relationship. But Su Ting was very embarrassed. She didn't want to come to Rongshi Park in the short term, and she urged the father and son to leave.

He Yan was having a great time, and he didn't quite understand what had just happened. He didn't really want to leave, but he saw Su Ting's blushing face, and his father promised to take him flying kites again after returning home, so after a brief consideration, he agreed to leave.

The three of them walked out of the lawn, and Su Ting slowed down, looked up and glared at He Dongchuan.

If he hadn't held her hand first, she wouldn't have thought it was no big deal, and she wouldn't have been so embarrassed just now.

He Dongchuan touched his nose guiltily and explained, "I didn't expect that."

He really didn't expect that. After all, he had never been involved in an affair with anyone outside before, and in a situation like that just now, no man would think so much.

After saying this, seeing Su Ting pouting, He Dongchuan reached out his hand to hold her shoulders and lowered his head to coax her, but as soon as his hand went out, she took a step to the side and raised her hand and said, "Stop making trouble outside. I don't want to be caught by the security team."

“…”

He Dongchuan had no choice but to put his hand down, put it on his son's head, approached Su Ting and asked, "Then can you please stop being angry with me?"

"I'm not angry," Su Ting said with her head down, "I've never been so embarrassed before."

She had never encountered such a thing in her past life. For a moment, she almost thought that she had mistakenly walked into a prostitution raid and that she and He Dongchuan were the two people who were raided.

God knows the physical contact between them was limited to hands!

He Dongchuan said: "It's my first time too."

Su Ting raised her head when she heard that, and looked at He Dongchuan for a moment, then they both lowered their heads and smiled.
