Chapter 72

"wait for me?"

After asking this question, I don't know why, it could obviously be something else.

But what her aunt and sister said in the morning immediately came to her mind. She didn't know if they were waiting for her because of this, but she was already feeling a little uncomfortable.

Since Xie Hao had decided to wait here, he would not and would not allow himself to retreat. He looked straight at the person and said in one go, "Yes, I'll wait for you. I know everything my mother said to your sister."

Luo Luo's face flushed. She was embarrassed and explained hurriedly: "No... Auntie may have misunderstood, or may have been joking, you..."

"No misunderstanding!"

After being interrupted, Ruishuang paused and looked up at the person in disbelief.

Xie Hao also looked back at her, without dodging or avoiding, and repeated: "There is no misunderstanding, no joke, my mother is serious, because as early as when we met only a few times, I told her that I fell in love with a very good lesbian..."

Rui Shuang just didn't dare to think about it in the past, but that didn't mean she was so stupid and hopeless, especially since Xie Hao had already said it so bluntly.

Her face got even hotter, this time because she was embarrassed.

She wanted to run away, but was afraid that doing so would hurt others too much. However...she really had no idea that Comrade Xie had any feelings for her before.

Thinking of this, Ruishen also asked this question.

Xie Hao could naturally see that the other party was so helpless that he wanted to disappear on the spot. He curled his lips and said, "I saw that you didn't want to find a partner before, so I didn't tell you. I thought we could get along slowly as friends..."

Even if the other party didn't say the following words, Lu Qing understood them.

However, to be honest, with my current personality, I am more receptive to Comrade Xie's gradual pursuit approach.

Now, she was caught off guard and was a little panicked... No, Lu Shuang's heart skipped a beat and she realized belatedly that from morning till now, she had not felt the slightest bit of disgust?

In other words...without her knowing, thanks to his repeated help, she has developed a liking for Comrade Xie?

After realizing this, Ruiqing felt terrible.

So, what did Tingting see that made her remind herself?

Yes...my sister is so smart...

Xie Hao's eyes never left Lu Sheng from beginning to end, and naturally he saw her shock and stiffness.

Although I knew that there was a high possibility of being rejected, when the moment came, I couldn't help but feel depressed.

But he couldn't do it, and he didn't think that such behavior, which would only cause burden to others, could be called pursuit.

There was silence for a while. Seeing that the snow was getting heavier, Ruishen still didn't reply. Xie Hao took a deep breath and made a final attempt: "I... take you back?"

Ruishen came back to her senses from the shock: "What did you say?"

Xie Hao raised his head and glanced at the sky again: "The snow is getting heavier. If you don't leave now, you might catch a cold. I... take you back?"

Of course, if she didn't want to, he would just follow her from a distance, just like he had quietly escorted her back a few days ago, otherwise he would be worried...

"good."

"You said...ok?" Now it was Xie Hao's turn to be shocked. He opened his lips and it took a while before he could express his disbelief.

During that brief moment of absent-mindedness, Lu Qing thought about a lot of things, but what came to mind the most was her sister's affirmation of her.

Tingting said that she was very good and excellent, and there was no need to belittle herself.

So, she wanted to be brave.

So, under the man's nervous and expectant gaze, even though her heart was about to jump out of her throat and she wanted to turn around and run, she still insisted, "I said, you take me back!"

Nowadays, agreeing to a member of the opposite sex or sending someone you like home is almost the same, even if you don't start dating right away.

Xie Hao naturally understood. He really hadn't expected that things would take such a turn for the better, so it goes without saying that he was extremely happy and excited.

But because he was too happy, he became tongue-tied.

Finally, the two people who had been stiff for a long time smiled at each other, said nothing, turned around and walked side by side.

It takes about ten minutes to walk from here to Lishuang's house, but it's faster by bike.

But no one spoke to remind them, and they all tacitly and awkwardly chose to walk.

Along the way, the two did not have any more intimate actions, and they didn't even communicate with each other.

But in my heart...I feel infinite sweetness because of the people around me.

Although he said he was sending the person home, he didn't really send the person home.

If someone saw it, it would be bad for the reputation of the herb.

So Xie Hao stopped at the entrance of the alley, looked sideways at the person next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Will I pick you up tomorrow night?"

Lu Qing originally wanted to say no, after all it would be too late to go home after sending her off.

But when the words came to his lips, thinking of the man's nervousness and expectation, he nodded: "Okay."

Anyway, Tingting is about to return to the army, and she will only be with him for two or three days.

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized something and looked up and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"I ate it." Actually, he didn't eat it, but Xie Hao didn't feel hungry at all at this moment, and he was full of energy.

Hearing this, Ruishen was too embarrassed to ask more questions, so she lowered her head, took out a flashlight from her bag, turned it on, and said, "Then I'll go back."

"Um."

"Well...it's getting dark, so ride your bike slower." After saying this awkwardly, Rui Shuang turned around and walked quickly into the narrow alley of the lane.

But after walking out for a while, he hurried back.

Xie Hao: "Why are you back?"

Without saying a word, Ruishuang quickly untied the beige wool scarf around her neck, then stood on tiptoe to wrap it around the man's neck.

Xie Hao bent down instinctively, and only came back to his senses when the fragrant smell entered his nose.

Ruishuang took a step back without looking at anyone, and said to herself: "It's snowing, don't... don't get frozen." After saying this, she turned around and ran into the alley again, and in the blink of an eye she blended into the night.

Xie Hao slowly straightened up, feeling the warmth on his neck, and suddenly had the urge to sing a song...

As police officers, Xie Hao and Xie Guangrui would usually come home late.

Wu Yuzhen has long been accustomed to it and doesn't wait on purpose.

But today was different. I was worried about something, and as soon as I heard any noise I opened the door and went out to see if my son had come back.

Although Xie Guangrui didn't say anything, he stayed in the living room with a newspaper in his hand.

"I seemed to hear the ring of a bicycle." Wu Yuzhen, who had just sat down for less than two minutes, hurried to open the door.

This time it wasn't her hallucination, Xie Hao really came back.

She was clearly eager to know the result, but when the person actually showed up, Wu Yuzhen didn't dare to ask.

Xie Hao parked his bike and asked, "Mom, is there anything to eat at home?" while brushing off the snowflakes on his body.

Wu Yuzhen pondered, still thinking about what to eat, the result should... not be too bad, right?

"Yuzhen, don't worry. Didn't you see what's on your son's neck?" Xie Guangrui reminded his wife helplessly.

What's on his neck? Wu Yuzhen looked over suspiciously and found that his son had a beige scarf around his neck. She was so happy that she said "good" several times and ran to the kitchen: "Mom will make you a bowl of noodles."

Xie Hao smiled and said, "Let me help you light the fire."

"Okay, okay, tell me what you said to my future daughter-in-law."

"......"

The next day.

Yesterday, I failed to buy spare ribs and pork elbows, so I got up very early.

I waited at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative for two hours.

Although it was cold, I finally bought a pig's trotter.

However, because of this delay, by the time she arrived at her sister's house, she was more than two hours later than usual.

When Hu Xiu saw the person, he immediately smiled and said, "Tingting was worried that something might happen to you, so she has asked several times."

Tingting smiled and took out an oil-paper bag from her bag: "What's the big deal? I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative to wait for some pig's trotters. I'll stew them for Tingting at noon."

"Hey, this thing is hard to get. You went to queue up before dawn, right? Don't let it freeze." Actually, Huo Xiao also went to queue up in the morning, but it seemed that there were more families having children around the corner, or maybe it was because today was New Year's Day, so he failed to get the pig's trotter and only bought a pork bone.

As she walked to the kitchen, she replied, "I'm wearing a lot of clothes. The only thing I'm wrapped up in is my eyes. I'm not cold."

After putting the frozen pig's trotters into hot water to thaw them, she went upstairs again.

Seeing her elder sister, Tingting, who was lying on the rocking chair by the window, opened her mouth and asked, "Is everything okay?"

Ruishuang: "It's okay. Didn't you not want to eat chicken soup yesterday? I went to buy some pig's trotters and was delayed... Hey, who made this little rabbit?"

Following her elder sister's line of sight, she looked toward the window and pointed at the slightly larger snow rabbit at the edge: "That one was made by Huo Xiao, and the ones next to it were all made by Guo Guo, Miao Miao, and my second brother."

Speaking of rabbits, Li Ting's eyes were full of joy. She really didn't expect that Huo Xiao took the time to make a rabbit for her just because she said "Xue Mei" yesterday.

Then the dragon and phoenix twins and the second brother joined in the fun and soon filled the windowsill with them... although the two that Guoguo made were so ugly that it was hard to look at them.

"My brother-in-law is very considerate, but you can't do anything to him."

Hearing this, Li Ting felt a little guilty, and her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the one next to the giant snow rabbit.

In fact, she did it, but she wore the waterproof leather gloves given to her by Huo Xiao.

Thinking of this, worried that the elder sister might have noticed something, Tingting immediately changed the subject: "Why do I feel like something is wrong with you today? Did something good happen to you?"

Ruishuang touched his face and said in a shocked tone, "Is it real or fake? Can you tell?"

藺葶....

Just to change the subject, the nonsensical Li Ting narrowed her eyes and said, "Of course I can tell. What did Xie Hao tell you?"

Although she had no intention of hiding it from her sister, it was so easy to be discovered. She was still very embarrassed: "Well... she didn't say anything, she just waited for me at the station last night..."

After listening to her elder sister's retelling, Ruiting had a better impression of Xie Hao.

At least he is responsible.

Unlike some men, who push everything to the matchmaker or parents, and just hide in the back and wait for something to happen.

"So what do you think?"

Wei Qing: "Let's try to get in touch first. We both have children, so there's no rush."

Ruting suggested: "Don't keep everything to yourself. Try to mention your partner and see how they react. By the way... marriage and raising children after marriage, even if both parties know it, you should put it out in the open to avoid future troubles."

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhui Sheng replied seriously, "I understand. I'll tell you later when I have the chance."

Three more days passed.

One week after giving birth, Tingting, who is now able to move freely, is ready to return to the army.

So, early in the morning, the whole family started to clean up.

The only free person, Tingting, was strolling around the house holding Nian Nian.

Seeing that her husband had gone back and forth several times but hadn't picked up the snow rabbits that had melted a little, she reminded him: "Don't forget to take the rabbits. I want to put them on the window sill when we get back home." Just seeing her make me feel better.

Huo Xiao was putting neatly stacked diapers into his bag. Hearing this, he said without even raising his head: "I've already taken it away."

Ruting blinked, then turned around to look carefully.

Only then did she realize that the biggest one her husband had made and the smaller one she had made were indeed missing.

She twitched her lips, and somehow understood someone's little thoughts. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry and complained: "You are too petty..."
