Chapter 126

Lu Yuanzheng looked around with a deep gaze, then gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear: "I'll deal with you when we get back! Don't think you'll be alright just by saying a few nice words!"

Then he let go of her waist, took her hand, picked up the luggage at her feet, and called Dongsheng, "Silly boy! It's time to go home!"

Xu Wen thought he had to walk back, but he didn't expect Lu Yuanzheng to drive here.

It's not the kind used to transport stones. He must have made it again.

Dongsheng also saw it and quickly ran around the electric car. "Dad, did you make this for me?"

"You wish!" Lu Yuanzheng didn't give him any face at all, "I made it for my wife."

This is an electric car that looks like a square sedan, made of pure wood and painted with a layer of varnish.

It's not as big as a real car, about the size of a pedal tricycle, and it's a convertible.

The battery method used is still the same as before by Xu Wen, and the car only has three gears: forward, reverse and stop.

Compared with the children's cars Xu Wen had seen in his life, the biggest difference was probably that this car made by Lu Yuanzheng had four seats and the space door was not big.

The family of three got on the bus and put all their things on the last seat.

Halfway through the journey, Lu Yuanzheng suddenly said, "This is the tenth day. Finally, I don't have to go home alone."

His tone was very calm, and even carried a hint of joy at having regained something, but Xu Wen inexplicably felt distressed when he heard it.

She raised her hand and grabbed the back of his hand, "I'm sorry! I made you worry!"

"Apart from the comfort you two provide, I'm not worried about anything else. The main thing is..." Lu Yuanzheng paused, "I really miss you guys."

Xu Wen was about to say something when he saw him driving an electric convertible past his house. He sighed and asked him, "Where are you going? Have we moved?"

"I haven't moved. Shi Lei and his friends are back from their hometown and want to invite us to dinner. Besides me, there are also several company commanders."

"Ah?" Xu Wen was confused: "Then is it appropriate to suddenly add me in?"

"Don't worry, you'll have food to eat."

There were a lot of people at the table, most of whom were familiar to Xu Wen.

When everyone saw Xu Wen, they were stunned at first, and then greeted him.

"Ask your sister-in-law if you are back! If you don't come back, you will be standing like a husband-waiting rock in the camp, welded to the seaside."

"That's right. How come you disappeared without saying anything? If our island wasn't really safe, I would have thought that you and Dongsheng were kidnapped by bad guys."

"Ah! I thought I was here to eat. But as soon as I saw my sister-in-law, I knew that just by looking at you and camping, I wouldn't be hungry tonight."

"It's a rare opportunity to laugh at camping. Ask my sister-in-law, you are so cruel to deprive me of this opportunity."

“…”

Xu Wen left without hesitation at that time, but he never expected that because of Dong Sheng's glass of water, the mother and son almost became missing persons.

She apologized a little sheepishly: "I'm sorry! I didn't expect to cause everyone so much worry."

Doudou's mother brought a plate of sausages to the table and smiled when she heard this: "It's no big deal for us to worry! Luying was almost driven crazy. You said you left a letter for me but you didn't leave it properly. You left it all ink-stained and I couldn't even open it. You almost drove Luying crazy."

"That's right!" Song Baoying brought the last dish to the table and said, "Don't even mention camping. I was worried that something bad would happen! I even said I would call the police! But Lao Shi laughed at me."

You called the police when someone went missing on the military's territory?

Who is this insulting?

Lu Yuanzheng said nothing. He borrowed a pair of tweezers from the military doctor and came back to close the door.

The next day, nothing happened and I got up and went to the camp headquarters as usual.

In the eyes of others, Lu Yuanzheng was no different from his usual self. Only Shi Lei, who was with him every day, could notice the difference.

I talked less and was in a bad mood.

Shi Lei didn't pay attention at first and even teased him: "Hey! You're still at the camp today? I thought you had to go directly to the central island to get a leave note and chase your wife!"

Lu Yuanzheng looked up at him and said, "It's not like I haven't thought about it. You just came back and had to hand over the work."

Shi Lei was silent for a moment, then patted Lu Yuanzheng on the shoulder, "In our line of work... sometimes we really can't blame women for bothering us. We are too rational. Even if our wife runs away, we still have to worry about handing over our work first."

"No." Lu Yuanzheng glanced at Shi Lei, "My wife went to stay with my second uncle for half a month."

Shi Lei: “…”

He put down his pen and looked at Lu Yuanzheng curiously, "How did you know? Just based on that piece of paper that was stuck together and couldn't be peeled off, and the ink stains were all stuck together?"

Lu Yuanzheng hummed lightly.

Only then did Shi Lei realize that Lu Yuanzheng was unhappy and particularly unhappy.

Now that there is a time gate, all Lu Yuanzheng has to do is wait.

Waiting is actually a particularly painful thing.

Every noon and evening, Lu Yuanzheng would lock himself at home to play with his electric car.

At first, no one knew he was working on cars, they only knew he was doing carpentry every day.

As we were on a long journey, we didn't even have dinner in the evening. Whenever we had time, we would run to the shore and do nothing but sit on a rock and look at the sea.

One time, Shi Lei and Song Baoying were walking by. Shi Lei wanted to say hello to him, but when he walked a few steps forward and saw his back, he felt that he looked particularly lonely.

However, he realized that his past could not destroy his loneliness and might even make him feel worse, so he took another step back.

Song Baoying also asked him why he didn't go and say hello.

Shi Lei said: "He wanted Xu Wen, not me."

Song Baoying sighed softly: "Sister-in-law Xu Wen is not usually an unreliable person! Why did she leave without saying goodbye this time?"

Without waiting for Shi Lei to speak, he added, "You can't blame Sister-in-law Xu Wen. It was because you guys were conducting closed-door training, and she couldn't contact the road camp when she had an emergency and left the island. She could only leave a note, and no one expected that the note would be covered with water."

Xu Wen listened to Song Baoying and Shi Lei exposing Lu Yuanzheng's secrets one by one. She turned her head to look at Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng was answering other company commanders' questions with his face turned sideways. He obviously wasn't looking at this side, but when Xu Wen looked at her, he raised his hand and gently pinched the back of her hand twice in a soothing manner.

Xu Wen turned his hand over in his palm, palm facing up and interlocked his fingers with his.

Lu Yuanzheng paused for a moment, and subconsciously looked down at the two people's interlocked hands. Then he tightly held Xu Wen's hand, and then turned back to continue talking.

Song Baoying bent her elbow and asked, "Did Lu Ying tell you how he was sure that you came back on the tenth day after their training?"

Xu asked: “……?”

She doesn't know.

Without waiting for her to ask anything, Shi Lei began to dismantle the platform of the expedition as usual after the tenth day of training. "What does he know? He just saw 10 days and a half months on the letter. But he didn't know where Xu Wen was going, nor did he know what 10 days and a half months meant. He just guessed a few possibilities.

For example, Xu Wen said he would be away for ten days or half a month from the day he wrote the letter. Or maybe he would come back ten days or half a month after our training was over. In short, he thought a lot about the possibilities of this ten days or half a month.

It just so happened that today was the tenth day after our training ended and he came back.

I asked him a long time ago, what if his guesses are not correct? Lu Yuanzheng only replied with one word.

Xu Wen couldn't wait to ask: "What?"

"wait!"

Xu Wen was slightly stunned.

Song Baoying didn't understand either, so she asked Lu Yuanzheng directly: "Why don't you go find her but wait?"

Shi Lei waved his hands: "Didn't I tell you that you would hand over your work to me!"

"But you have already completed the handover, right? He can ask for leave if he wants, right?"

Shi Lei thought about it and it seemed to be true. Their profession was special and the handover was not as complicated as in a big company. If it really had to be done, it would take no more than two or three days.

Lu Yuanzheng cast his gaze over the curious faces at the table, then turned his head to look at Xu Wen, and spoke slowly: "It's not that I don't want to look for him. I'm just afraid of going in the wrong direction. What if I go there and you just happen to come back? Or what if I guessed wrong and you're not at Second Brother's place?"

I wasted the vacation that could have been used to accompany her to the exam and go home, and I also missed meeting her a day too early. It’s not worth it.

Everyone at the dinner table understood what was said. There was a moment of silence, and then the atmosphere became lively.

Song Baoying poked Shi Lei with her index finger: "We are both officers, why don't you have such deep feelings?"

Doudou's mother followed suit: "They are all military officers, just learn from them!"

"We are all soldiers, why don't you learn from them?"

"They are all men, just follow their lead!"

The people around him were silent for a moment, then cursed: "Fuck! We are all bachelors, who are you talking about? You don't even have a wife, and you have the nerve to talk about me? I'm engaged after all!"

“…”

The topic was changed like this.

Only Xu Wen felt a lump in his throat and whispered, "I'm sorry!"

He must be very anxious these days!

If I had known this, I would not have gone to Lijiang.

"You're right, it was just an accident." Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "I just missed you too much."

These words made Xu Wen lose his appetite. After finally waiting for the dinner to end, Dongsheng still refused to go home and insisted on going to Doudou's house to play.

"Or, you two go back first and let Dongsheng come home with us and stay for one night. He and Doudou haven't seen each other for such a long time, and they haven't had enough fun together." Doudou's mother said with a smile.

It wasn't that she was stingy and didn't want to invite Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen to her home. They say that a short absence makes a new marriage better than a new one.

Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng haven't seen each other for such a long time. As someone who has experienced this, Doudou's mother knows that both of them can't wait to go home.

Just take the initiative to take over Dongsheng, this little light bulb.

Xu Wen didn't think that much and was a little hesitant: "Will it cause too much trouble for you?"

Lu Yuanzheng thanked generously: "Thank you very much, sister-in-law!" Then he led Xu Wen's people back.

Xu asked: "..."

I whispered to him, "Is it appropriate to abandon Dongsheng like this?"

Lu Yuanzheng whispered two words into Xu Wen's ear.

Xu Wen's face suddenly felt like it was on fire, and he raised his hand to pinch his arm.

Lu Yuanzheng grabbed her hand and led her back.

As soon as he entered the living room, Lu Yuanzheng closed the door with one hand and pulled Xu Wen back with the other.

Xu Wen cried out in surprise, and by the time he came to his senses, his back was already against the door. Before he could say anything, Lu Yuanzheng kissed him on the lips.

Hot and intense.

All the worries of these days and more than a month of longing are contained in this kiss.

Xu Wen also missed him and raised his neck to respond.

Lu Yuanzheng placed one hand on her lower back to prevent her from falling, and his other hand wandered restlessly over her body, causing a tremor wherever his fingertips passed, and the buttons on her clothes were unbuttoned one by one.

Some buttons in hidden places were difficult to unbutton, so Lu Yuanzheng impatiently tore them open.

"My clothes!" Xu Wen tried to protest.

Lu Yuanzheng didn't answer. He picked her up and put her on the nearest bean bag, covering her with his whole body.

…

This was probably the craziest time since they met, from the bean bag to the sofa chair, from the functional bathroom upstairs to the bed in the bedroom.

If the light from the watchtower hadn't been sweeping back and forth, Xu Wen felt that the beast that had come all this way tonight would probably go to the terrace and do it again.

This man expressed all his emotions in such an intimate and unmistakable way.

Xu Wen could not bear the torture. He cried and begged until he didn't even know how he fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was sunset.

I feel very torn apart.

Spiritually, I felt satisfied and happy, and the days of longing were relieved.

But my body is not so comfortable. Not only am my waist and legs sore, but yesterday I leaned against the door panels or the hard sink, so that there are bruises on my back and knees, which is a bit horrible.

Other parts of his body were not much better. The culprit's fingerprints could be clearly seen on his waist.

"Son of a bitch!" Xu Wen cursed angrily.

Lu Yuanzheng just came in with a lunch box. He was very self-aware and didn't ask who Xu Wen was scolding. He put the lunch box on the desk, walked to the bed and sat on the edge of it. He lifted the sheet covering her body and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Xu Wen squinted at him and said, "How about we switch to you?"

She thought she had a very stern look, but unfortunately her eyes were filled with spring water and her expression was full of meaning, which was not scary but rather alluring.

Lu Yuanzheng's Adam's apple rolled, and he changed his original words: "You want to be on top? That's fine, I'll listen to you."

Xu asked: "..."

I wanted to raise my foot to kick him, but it pulled the side of my leg and made him cry out in pain.

Fortunately, Lu Yuanzheng was just frivolous in words. He ignored Xu Wen's objections and put his big hands on her waist to knead and press her.

Seeing that he didn't make any trouble, Xu Wen also stopped moving. He turned over and lay on the bed, calling him.

"A little higher."

"under."

"Yes, right here. Use some force."

"No! It's fine to be gentle here."

"Hiss! It hurts..."

“…”

Lu Yuanzheng couldn't help but remind her: "If you keep yelling like that, even if I don't do anything to you, others will think it's us doing something. Just a reminder, it's dinner time. There are people living in the houses behind us and next to us."

Xu asked: "..."

Xu Wen brushed his hand away, "So you feel good, but I am the one who suffers? If I let you give me a massage, and someone hears it, then it's my fault?"

Lu Yuanzheng wanted to reply, "Didn't you have a good time last night?" But he was afraid that Xu Wen would be really upset and not let him sleep in bed tonight, so he honestly changed his words and admitted his fault, "It's my fault! It's all my fault! My dear wife, don't be angry! How about I feed you?"

"No need! Just stay away from me!" Xu Wen snorted and got out of bed. She still felt a little uncomfortable. She frowned, walked to the table, sat down and finished her meal.

"Are you busy tonight?"

Xu Wen took the initiative to speak. She didn't want to bother with Lu Yuanzheng, but she had slept for a whole day and was really full. She wanted to go out for a walk, but didn't want to go alone.

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head. "I haven't been so busy lately, so I can rest on time. Today is Wednesday, and I just need to go to the camp headquarters for roll call in a while. Do you want to go out?"

"Yeah. I want to go out for a walk."

Lu Yuanzheng subconsciously glanced at her waist and abdomen, "Are you not in pain anymore?"

After saying that, he saw Xu Wen pouting, and before she could get angry, he quickly added, "I've made some minor changes to the houseboat, do you want to go take a look?"

Xu Wen's complexion looked a little better.

"Is this the houseboat you modified?" Xu Wen stood on the deck and turned around. "What's the difference?"

Lu Yuanzheng touched the tip of his nose and said, "I added a few more nails."

In fact, I didn't change anything. I just saw that Xu Wen was not feeling well and felt that she didn't need to walk on the houseboat by herself. But I was afraid that she would be angry if I told her directly, so I made this excuse.

Xu Wen also understood and hummed twice without saying anything.

Lu Yuanzheng moved a chair out of the bamboo house and placed it on the deck, letting Xu Wen sit on it.

"Are you tired from the training?"

"Have you been with your second brother this month?"

Both of them spoke at the same time.

Lu Yuanzheng answered first, "Not bad."

Xu Wen automatically translated "not bad" into "very tired".

Because the standard for measuring whether a person is tired or not during a long journey is very different from that of ordinary people.

If he says he is not tired, then he is very tired. If he says it is okay, then he is very tired and will get injured.

If he says he's tired, he'll lose half his life if he doesn't die.

Xu Wenyang raised his head and looked at him.

There was only a battery-powered bulb on the houseboat, which was not very bright. I could see Lu Yuanzheng's features clearly, but I couldn't tell his expression.

Xu Wenyang raised his hand and touched his face: "You've lost weight again!"

Lu Yuanzheng is already very thin. It is difficult for him to gain weight or lose weight. If he is still thin, he must have suffered a lot.

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head and said "Not bad." He asked her, "You haven't answered me yet!"

"Of course not. I only stayed at my second brother's place for a week. Then I went traveling with other people's husbands."
