Chapter 72

Xu Wen had made taro ball milk tea once before.

I used the mochi flour that I bought from the Central Island with Lu Yuanzheng last time, the mangoes picked on the island, and the pumpkins and purple sweet potatoes grown by my sister-in-law.

After the pumpkin and purple sweet potato are steamed, let them cool and mash them. Mash the mango directly into puree.

Then mix it with mochi flour and sugar in proportion, knead it into a dough, and finally divide it into thin strips, cut it into small cylindrical pieces, and put it into the pot to cook.

After cooking, put it in ice water to cool down, then add it to milk tea, it will be very chewy.

What was added to Dongsheng was not milk tea, but just chilled milk powder.

Xu Wen picked up the spoon and tasted what Lu Yuanzheng had made. He chewed it for a while and spit it out.

It's not that she doesn't give face, it's just that the tapioca flour must be added in proportion.

If you add too little, it won't be springy enough, and if you add too much, it won't be chewable.

Dongsheng was only five years old and his teeth were not very good, so he obviously couldn't bite hard.

So it’s true that I miss her, and it’s also true that taro balls taste bad.

"Do you want to eat more? I'll make you some more?" Xu asked Dongsheng for his opinion.

Dongsheng shook his head and sobbed a little when he opened his mouth: "Mom, you've worked so hard! Let's do it next time!"

He didn't want to eat much, he just wanted to eat.

Xu Wen hugged him and said, "Dongsheng, I'm sorry that mom has been too busy to accompany you recently. But don't worry, I won't ignore you. Mom still has to work with those experts for a few days so that everyone on our island can use electric fans. Maybe we can even use televisions by then. So, can you be patient for a few more days?"

"Well, Mom, can I come find you if I miss you? I won't make any trouble, I'll just stay aside."

Xu Wen felt distressed, "Okay, come find me when you miss me."

"Mom, can you sleep with me tonight?"

"No! Because your bed can't accommodate both of us, and you're already grown up, right? But I can stay with you until you fall asleep."

Dongsheng nodded vigorously.

Xu Wen coaxed Dongsheng to sleep, then took a bath, sighed lightly, and pushed open the bedroom door.

Lu Yuanzheng also seemed to have taken a shower. He was half lying on the bed, leaning against the headboard, wearing only a pair of loose red trousers.

A tough guy over 1.80 meters tall wearing a pair of red trousers is a bit too eye-catching.

Xu Wen turned his back and coughed lightly.

Lu Yuanzheng looked at her shoulders shrugged and said with resentment: "Are you still laughing at me?"

If he had a second choice, he would not wear shorts.

According to custom, people have to wear red when getting married. Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen got married twice in one year, so they had two extra pairs of bright red trousers.

Xu Wen also has red underwear, but she is fair-skinned, so it looks good and sexy on her.

Lu Yuanzheng was exposed to the wind and sun on the island every day, so his skin was a little dark, and when he put on this bright red, it was a little hard to hold back.

He didn't want to wear it, but it rained for two days and the clothes were very damp. The one he washed yesterday was not dry yet, so he washed another one today. He had to throw away the one with holes in it, so he had nothing to wear.

Xu Wen said seriously: "I didn't laugh."

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at her and saw that she was pursing her lips tightly, but her eyes couldn't hide the smile. He glared at Xu Wen and smiled as well: "Laugh if you want to! I know it's ugly."

"Not ugly." Xu Wen walked to the bedside, "In my eyes, you are the most handsome."

Lu Yuanzheng enjoyed it very much, but he refused to admit it and snorted arrogantly: "Stop flattering me! I think in your eyes, those iron things outside are cooler than me." He pointed to the fan that was turning outside the wooden house.

"Lu Yuanzheng, you're a grown-up. Why are you still so jealous? Aren't you ashamed?" Xu Wen reached out and poked him twice on the face.

Lu Yuanzheng held her hand and pulled it with skill. Xu Wen screamed and fell on Lu Yuanzheng.

The door between the two people was only separated by a thin layer of pajamas on Xu Wen's body.

Xu Wen could clearly feel the vibration coming from Lu Yuanzheng's chest. Although his heartbeat was strong, it was not steady and somewhat rapid.

You can also clearly feel the distinct walls on his lower abdomen.

Due to professional relationships, the journey is long and the training is long, so you need to have all the necessary muscles.

Even though they were so close, Xu Wen could still feel the distinct muscles on the upper wall of his abdomen.

Xu Wen stood up, took a look at his lower abdomen, and whistled, "Young man, you have a good figure!"

Lu Yuanzheng led her hand down, "There's something better!"

Xu Wen felt as if he was scalded and tried to pull his hand back, but Lu Yuanzheng refused to let go.

The other hand gently stroked her face, "Xu Wen."

"Um?"

"I miss you." Lu Yuanzheng laughed at himself, "We are husband and wife, and we live under the same roof every day, but I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xu Wen could tell that he was not complaining but just expressing his feelings.

Xu Wenxin softened and let him guide her hands. She lowered her head and kissed him on the lips, "Can you turn off the lights first?"

Lu Yuanzheng was a little reluctant: "I can't see it normally, and now I'm not allowed to see it?"

"Don't give me that!" Xu Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was mainly embarrassed. "How can you be so exaggerated? We saw each other during the day."

There just isn't much time for us to be alone in private.

Lu Yuanzheng raised his head and rubbed his head against her shoulder, sighing comfortably: "Can it be the same? You always seem so far away when I see you through the crowd. The more we see each other, the more I miss you."

"Why are you so sentimental? It's a bit unlike you." Xu Wen was really a little uncomfortable.

Lu Yuanzheng's breathing became heavier. "I am just an ordinary person, of course I also have joys and sorrows. I can endure it with others, but I don't need to hide it from you. I just miss you, what's wrong?"

After saying that, he turned over and pressed Xu Wen under him. Xu Wen raised his free hand and pressed it against his lips, "Turn off the lights, please?"

The long journey makes me raise my eyebrows.

Seeing the redness on her face spreading all the way into her pajamas, he straightened up and reached out to turn off the light.

Xu Wen then breathed a sigh of relief, then exclaimed again.

His hands...

Xu asked consciously wanting to cover it up.

"Hush! Keep your voice down! Dongsheng will hear it soon."

Xu Wen glared at him.

This person is used to turning the tables, pretending it was her who did something wrong even though it was clearly him who did the evil.

Unfortunately, her eyes were filled with tears and had no intimidating power at all, so she could only bite her lip and endure it.

Lu Yuanzheng leaned down and kissed her lips, swallowing her unbearable cry.

…

The clouds and rain had just stopped, and Xu Wen felt extremely sleepy.

Lu Yuanzheng put on a pair of pants and went to the terrace to smoke a cigarette. After they were done, he fetched some water for Xu Wen to wash his body.

Xu Wen hummed and groaned, "I'm sleepy!"

"If you don't take a shower, you'll be mad at me again tomorrow."

"I'll wash it myself later."

"Are you going to have a sleep bath later?"

Xu Wen stopped talking.

But Lu Yuanzheng didn't take a proper bath, which caused goose bumps all over her body.

As he wiped her lower abdomen with a warm towel, he whispered something in her ear with a wicked smile.

Xu Wen suddenly came to his senses, blushed, grabbed the pillow and threw it at him.

Lu Yuanzheng held the pillow in one hand and the wash basin in the other. Before leaving, he said, "I'll satisfy you when I come back!"

"Don't come back!" Xu Wen embarrassedly picked up the pillow she was using and threw it at him.

Lu Yuanzheng flashed out of the door, and his pillow hit the door panel and fell to the ground.

Xu Wen finally woke up. He found a set of clean pajamas from the closet, put them on, and walked to the terrace.

The night view on the island is also very beautiful. Under the hazy moonlight, even the sea seems to be much calmer.

Lu Yuanzheng came back, put the pillow on the bed, walked behind Xu Wen, hugged her and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the stars in the sky, are they laughing at you?"

Lu Yuanzheng laughed softly, resting his chin on Xu Wen's shoulder, "No. They will only envy me. Envy that I am so happy. Isn't there a saying that goes 'Only envy the ducks, not the fairies'?"

Xu Wen relaxed his body, tilted his head back and rubbed him: "Indeed. Living two lives is actually the happiest time on the island."

"I'm not." Lu Yuanzheng tilted his head and kissed her forehead, "I've been very happy since I met you."

After thinking for a while, he added: "It was a bit difficult to bear the time we were apart. You were the one I thought of until I died. I actually didn't have the energy to struggle anymore at that time. The moment I thought of you, I suddenly felt particularly unwilling. I just married you and we haven't lived a good life yet! In my eyes, you saved my life."

Having said that, Lu Yuanzheng suddenly raised his hand and pinched Xu Wen's waist.

"Then Dr. Li will start crying and scolding you for being ungrateful again...ah!" The pinch didn't hurt much, but it was very sudden. Xu Wen cried out in surprise and said coquettishly, "Just talk, why are you hitting me for no reason? I didn't provoke you."

"How come I didn't?" Lu Yuanzheng groaned in dissatisfaction, "You said you would take my money, my children, and my house and remarry!"

Xu asked: "..."

Didn't he say this when he was unconscious?

Still remember it?

Xu Wen felt a little guilty, "Isn't it because I saw you were unconscious and wanted to stimulate you?"

"It's quite exciting." Lu Yuanzheng put his arm around Xu Wen's waist again, "So I'm coming back to pester you."

Xu Wen turned around from his arms with great difficulty, raised her hands and hugged his face, "Then you'd better cling to me for the rest of your life! You abandoned me before, and that's it. If you abandon me again in the future, you will bear the consequences yourself."

It was a long journey and I really didn't dare to promise anything. After a while, I just said, "I'll try my best."

If it were at the beginning, Xu Wen would have felt that these words were particularly insincere, but after being with Lu Yuanzheng for so long, he knew very well that this was his serious promise.

Xu Wen nodded.

Lu Yuanzheng lowered his head and kissed her face a few times, "Especially after the wedding, it always feels like a dream, so unreal."

"Why?"

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, "Maybe I'm used to the hard times. I'm suddenly so happy, a little... anxious?"

When I was single, I was fearless and before every mission, I would write a suicide note as if it was just a joke.

Later, when Dongsheng was born, I started to worry about him. I had to explain everything to other comrades before going on a mission.

Now he not only has a son, but also Xu Wen, and a real home.

As our relationship gets better, this anxiety seems to become more severe.

Lu Yuanzheng didn't dare to think about how painful it would be if he had to write a will in advance if he were to go on a dangerous mission now.

"How is it sudden? I feel very happy too! But I think this is what we fought for. From getting married, to me taking the college entrance exam, to you narrowly escaping death and recuperating for months, to building this island from nothing. Which one of these was not achieved through our hard work? We walked step by step with our feet firmly on the ground."

"That's true." Lu Yuanzheng agreed, "Then it's probably because of lovesickness! According to what you said, we are both in the honeymoon period now, but except for the wedding night, we haven't had sex for a long time..."

He spoke the following words close to her ear.

Xu Wen blushed, "Weren't you a very upright gentleman before? Why do you keep saying such shameful things now?"

"How can you be a gentleman in front of your wife?" Lu Yuanzheng said as he picked up Xu Wen and carried him to the bedroom. "Not only do I say shameful things, I also do shameful things!"
