Chapter 84
Xu asked but didn't answer.
Lu Yuanzheng sighed, a little confused, but finally said, "I have to go back. It's too late after the performance, and it's not convenient to leave the island. I have to go and arrange accommodation for them."
Xu Wen still didn't say anything.
Lu Yuanzheng had no choice but to leave, thinking about communicating with her when he came back.
Women's sixth sense is frighteningly accurate. Xu Wen's intuition told him that the relationship between that girl and Lu Yuanzheng was definitely not that of ordinary comrades-in-arms.
In the morning, Xu Wen was awakened by the chirping sounds.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up. She didn't know when Lu Yuanzheng came back. He was sleeping soundly.
She glanced sideways at Lu Yuanzheng, and, perhaps out of a bad temper or something else, she raised her foot and kicked him.
Lu Yuanzheng opened his eyes and saw that it was her. He raised his hands, hooked her waist and pulled her into his arms. His voice was hoarse and he said, "Stop making trouble!"
When Xu Wen saw that his eyes were full of bloodshot, his heart softened and his inexplicable anger dissipated a little. He took his hand off his waist and walked to the terrace to look outside.
If most people weren't still wearing the classic green, Xu Wen would have thought he was back on some famous holiday island.
The long beach was crowded with men and women.
Some were surfing, some were playing volleyball, some were swimming in the shallow sea, some were playing games on the beach...it was very lively, too lively.
Even the few lounge chairs on the beach were crowded with people.
Rainbow Island, also known as Monk Island, was originally a place where a group of young gay men with raging hormones came. This time, so many young lesbians came and rushed over, showing off their superior side like peacocks spreading their tails.
Xu Wen squinted his eyes and looked around, and saw the girl from last night.
In fact, she had changed her clothes, and Xu Wen had not seen her face clearly, either last night or now, but he knew it must be her.
The girl was at the beach but her heart was in the wooden house. She would glance over here from time to time.
Xu Wen curled the corner of his lip, went back to the room, picked up his whistle from the bedside table on Lu Yuanzheng's side, and blew it hard.
Lu Yuanzheng sat up and reached under the pillow out of habit.
Xu Wen knew that he was going to take the wooden box, so he said first, "It's me!"
Lu Yuanzheng paused, glanced at her, breathed a sigh of relief, then lay back and said incoherently, "Wife, stop making trouble!"
Xu Wen raised his foot and kicked him on the calf, "Your old lover is here to see you!"
Lu Yuanzheng didn't even blink, he just raised his hand and scratched the itchy spot on her body, and said the same two words: "Stop making trouble!"
What old lover!
Xu Wen kicked again, "Who is teasing you? I'm telling the truth."
This time the force was much greater.
Lu Yuanzheng finally came to his senses this time. He sat up, still looking a little confused, and instinctively explained, "You are my only lover."
Xu Wen pointed in the direction of the terrace and asked, "Who is she?"
Lu Yuanzheng didn't understand what was going on, so he raised his hand and rubbed his head randomly. He walked onto the terrace wearing only a pair of pants, and followed Xu Wen's hand to look at the sea.
Just then the girl saw him and jumped up and waved at him.
Xu Wen also vaguely heard a voice saying, "Brother Lu!"
Her teeth felt a little sour and she made a clicking sound.
Lu Yuanzheng’s first reaction was to look back at Xu Wen.
Xu Wen leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, and imitated the girl in a weird tone: "Brother Lu!"
The voice is more charming and delicate.
Lu Yuanzheng was so frightened that he trembled, stood up straight reflexively, and said: "I was wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
How could Lu Yuanzheng know what he did wrong? He just apologized based on the idea that it was his fault if his wife was unhappy. After thinking for a while, he whispered, "Did I make you unhappy?"
"Why am I unhappy?" Lu Yuanzheng touched his nose.
At this moment, another voice came from Brother Lu.
Xu Wen let out a short sigh.
This time Lu Yuanzheng understood, "Wife, are you jealous?"
Xu Wen did not deny it, but asked him, "What do you think?"
Lu Yuanzheng never looked back at the girl from beginning to end. He came back from the terrace and sat on the edge of the bed. He also pulled Xu Wen to the bed and explained, "Her name is Xu Jing. She is from the military art troupe. Last year or before the New Year, their unit came to our unit for a performance and I was the one who received them.
An old leader of mine knew her and wanted to bring us together. I couldn't refuse, so I met her."
Seeing Xu Wen's face getting worse, he quickly added, "Just once! And I told her very clearly that I would not be with her."
It's just a more tactful way of saying it, pushing Dongsheng forward as a shield and not wanting to drag her down.
"So she was holding you last night?"
Lu Yuanzheng touched his nose and said, "When we were dating, I told her that I would not get married. She asked me why I lied to her."
"How did you answer?"
"I said that I only thought about getting married after meeting you, and I wouldn't marry anyone else except you."
Xu Wen was not happy about the idea, and his anger immediately disappeared. He raised his head proudly and snorted, "You are a good person."
Lu Yuanzheng lay back and put his hands into her clothes without any proper manners. "I performed so well, is there any reward?"
"That's how it should be. What kind of reward do you want? Come to think of it..." Xu Wen leaned over with his head propped up by his arms and looked at him, "Did you lose the bet with me?"
Lu Yuanzheng immediately lay down and opened his arms. "I accept the defeat! I will do whatever you say! I will cooperate."
Xu Wen kicked him and said, "You wish! Is this a punishment for you or for me? I don't want to use my strength."
When Lu Yuanzheng heard this, he turned over, put his arms on both sides of her head, looked at her affectionately, and smiled wickedly, "Then I'll do it?"
Xu Wen grabbed his hand and smiled like a little fox, "It's not impossible for you to come, but I have conditions!"
"What?"
“That’s how you do push-ups.”
"Ah?" Lu Yuanzheng was a little confused.
Xu Wen's face also turned red, but he still told him the prone position that Jiang Yiyi mentioned.
Lu Yuanzheng: "..."
"Do you women always talk so deeply in private?"
Xu Wen was so angry that he said, "Are you going to do it or not? If not, get out!"
Lu Yuanzheng propped himself up with his arms and said, "Do it!" and reached down with his hands.
Xu Wen added: "You can't use your hands to support it."
Lu Yuanzheng raised one eyebrow and looked at her playfully, "So you like this, why didn't you say so earlier!"
Xu Wen pinched him: "I'm just curious!"
Just curious really.
Ever since she heard what Jiang Yiyi said, she has always felt that this posture is impossible to do without using hands.
She wanted to make things difficult for Lu Yuanzheng, so that he could see and touch the thing but not eat it.
But the journey was long and the expedition was successful.
He held his arms on both sides of his head, his abdomen was tight, and his eight abdominal muscles were clearly defined. He seemed to be seriously doing push-ups that relied solely on the strength of his waist and abdomen.
His eyes were fixed on her the whole time, and his strong abdominal muscles would touch her every time he moved down, and his whole body would be hot and he would kiss her every time.
Little by little, she became the one who suffered the most.
Xu Wen remembered a particularly classic saying: "Curiosity kills the cat!"
It also hurt her.
By the time the two of them finished taking a shower and put on their clothes, it was already past breakfast time.
Xu Wen had a face as rosy as a peach and eyes as clear as spring water. Just as the sisters-in-law said that day, it was obvious at first glance that she had been moisturized by a man and was charming from the inside out.
She asked Lu Yuanzheng: "The visiting delegation is still here, is it appropriate for you to be away for such a long time?"
Lu Yuanzheng buckled his belt, turned around and looked at her meaningfully, "It's not appropriate! But isn't this the first step to comfort your wife?"
Xu Wen hit him with a pillow.
Lu Yuanzheng took it with a smile, "You take a rest for a while, I'll go make something to eat."
After dinner, Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen went to the beach together.
Those comrades and students who were performing were going to other islands to perform today, and were now preparing to board the ship and leave. As the host, Lu Yuanzheng had to see them off.
Xu Wen met the girl on the shore.
Lu Yuanzheng took Xu Wen's hand and introduced her to the girl: "This is Xu Jing, and this is my love Xu Wen."
Xu Wen guessed that Xu Jing should be a little older than him and looked like a girl next door.
Xu Jing was delighted when she saw Lu Yuanzheng, but then she saw Xu Wen's smile fade away. Her eyes were a little complicated, and she finally called Xu Wen with red eyes, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
She fell in love with Lu Yuanzheng the first time she saw him, and asked her uncle to be a matchmaker for her.
Lu Yuanzheng spoke tactfully but his refusal was straightforward, saying that he had a son who did not accept a stepmother.
At the time, Xu Jing believed it to be true, but later he found out after making inquiries that Dongsheng was not his biological son at all, and he didn't even have a biological father, so why should he care about a stepmother?
What's more, she was willing to treat Dongsheng as her own son.
It’s just that Lu Yuanzheng has always been single and has never had a relationship and has no plans to have one.
She still wanted to meet him again and confess her feelings to him once more.
But when we met again, he was already married.
Xu Jing questioned him, and his answer made her even more embarrassed.
After the performance, Xu Jing asked around and found out that his wife's name was Xu Wen.
When people on this island mention Xu Wen, they all give her a thumbs up and praise her as being rare in heaven and on earth.
Xu Jing still refused to accept the fact that they were flattering Lu Yuanzheng for his position.
Today I saw how completely I lost.
Everything that can be compared, including body height, appearance and education, is inferior to Xu Wen except for family background.
Xu Wen smiled knowingly and replied calmly, "Hello. I didn't have time to invite you to my house this time because I was so busy. Please come and visit me next time we meet."
Xu Jing nodded but didn't dare to say anything for fear of crying.
As soon as Xu Jing turned her head, Xu Wen unceremoniously raised his hand to pinch the soft flesh on Lu Yuanzheng's waist.
He hissed, rubbed his waist, and said nothing tactfully.
After seeing off the comrades and students from the art troupe, Lu Yuanzheng asked Xu Wen: "It's rare that I have time to accompany you. Do you want to go to the central island for a walk?"
Although he never said it, Lu Yuanzheng always knew how much he owed Xu Wen.
When they were together, she compromised, gave in and tolerated him for his sake.
He had no freedom, so she was imprisoned here with him.
Xu Wen shook his head. "It's already noon. We can't accomplish much in half a day. How about tomorrow?"
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, "Where do you want to go? How about swimming?"
She said she wanted to go swimming with him, but there was never a suitable time.
Xu Wen's legs were still a little sore, and he didn't want to move. He shook his head and said, "I want to go home and improve the electric car."
Lu Yuanzheng yawned, "You really do think so."
She was only responsible for thinking, and he was the one who did the work.
This time, Xu did not refute the question, but only asked him: "Then will you do it?"
"Do!"
Lu Yuanzheng said only one word in a particularly inappropriate way, and his eyes were also fixed on certain parts of her body.
Xu Wen was so angry that he pinched him.
This time he was well prepared for the long journey and stretched his muscles, but Xu Wen couldn't move them at all.
Some people say that if you win an argument with your wife, it will not end well.
Not letting your wife vent her anger often leads to bad consequences.
At noon, Xu Wen sat in the living room, enjoying the fan, eating homemade fruit popsicles, and watching Lu Yuanzheng working in the sun through the window glass.
He added chains and pedals to the four-wheeler, and then found a way to add a gear adjustment and a reverse function.
Lu Yuanzheng himself had a fairly good education, and he knew this kind of wiring work better than Xu Wen. There was no problem with the entire vehicle, so this small modification was not a problem for him.
The sun was scorching hot at the moment, and Lu Yuanzheng kept wiping his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck.
Xu Wen felt a little distressed, so he pushed open the window and called out to him, "Are you stupid? Can't you push it in?"
Lu Yuanzheng: "..."
It was clearly she who kicked him out.
Of course, he was not stupid enough to tell the truth, and thanked her happily: "My wife still loves me."
As soon as he opened the door, a cool breeze blew on his face and he let out a comfortable sigh.
Xu Wen felt both amused and distressed, and said with a stiff face, "It's your fault!"
"Hey! Are you being unreasonable?" He took the ice cream from her hand and continued eating from the place where she had bitten.
“I’ve eaten it.”
"I don't mind you being dirty!"
"I think you're dirty." Xu Wen rolled his eyes, took the notebook, closed his eyes and summoned the magic mirror.
"Mirror, mirror, kid, I want to know how to increase the battery's storage capacity and charging speed?"
I don’t know if the question was not asked to the point, the magic mirror did not give the answer I wanted.
Xu Wen could only study on his own.
She has ridden an electric bike before, and the battery box usually contains four batteries.
I only made one piece, so why make more?!
Existing technology may not be able to solve the problem of charging speed.
By chance, I noticed that lithium batteries seem to be able to be used in solar or wind energy recovery.
Xu Wen thought about buying some lithium battery raw materials to do some research, perhaps he could solve the problem of energy storage.
I don't expect to solve all the problems, but as long as the solar energy outside her house can generate enough electricity to use a fan all night, I'll win.
Xu Wen wrote and calculated, trying to figure out what the most appropriate current and voltage would be.
Lu Yuanzheng squatted behind her, busy figuring out how to change gears smoothly.
Xu Wen saw that he was in a daze and seemed to have no idea what to do, so he called out to him, "The journey is long."
“Here!” Lu Yuanzheng was thinking about something and answered casually.
"Have you ever seen a gear car?"
"Huh? What car?" Lu Yuanzheng had never seen one before.
Xu Wen thought whether there were geared vehicles in this era or not. She didn't know, but most people didn't even have bicycles, so she probably had never seen one even if she had a road expedition.
So I described to him in detail the principle of the geared bicycle.
Xu Wen was talking about the geared bicycles he had seen when he was a child, which were very old and bulky.
There are two teeth in the front, one above and one below, and five or six teeth of different sizes combined together in the back.
This is the main component of shifting.
After listening to it, Lu Yuanzheng pondered it carefully, clasped his hands together, and pressed his ten finger joints a total of twenty times.
Then pick up your tools and start working.
Xu Wen was only talking about the principle of a geared bicycle. This is not a bicycle, so it doesn't need so many teeth.
Seeing that Lu Yuanzheng had made up his mind, Xu Wen did not disturb him, and the two of them went about their own business.
From time to time, voices could be heard outside the window, but the living room was relatively quiet.
The only sound was the rustling of Xu Wen's pen tip scratching across the paper, occasionally mixed with the sound of metal colliding as Lu Yuanzheng picked up and put down tools.
Sometimes Xu Wen got tired of writing, so he put down his pen, shook his arms, and looked at Lu Yuanzheng.
Sometimes, Lu Yuanzheng would look up at Xu Wen while changing tools.
There was not much communication. In the same space, two people were doing different things, each busy with their own things, but it was surprisingly warm.
After the minor functional deficiencies of the Luyuanzheng were corrected, Xu Wen finally calculated the most appropriate ratio between the various raw materials for the optimal battery storage capacity.
Lu Yuanzheng accompanied her again, remade the battery, added three more and tested it.
During installation, the four-wheeler is pushed into the yard for installation. The lead battery is dangerous and can explode if not handled properly.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many accidents of electric bicycles entering elevators and exploding a few decades later.
Fortunately, Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen were careful and conscientious enough to do it smoothly. They also made a layer of waterproof protective cover before installing the battery in the car.
Lu Yuanzheng first circled the yard twice, then patted Chedou and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you for a ride!"
"Where's Dongsheng? Do you want to take him with you?"
"He followed to the central island. I told him I would pick him up today or tomorrow."
Xu Wen thought about it and suggested: "Then let's take our swimsuits and go for a swim after we test the car."
Lu Yuanzheng certainly has no objection.
Xu Wen changed into a swimsuit and put on a homemade bath towel on the outside. In fact, it was just a few towels distributed by Lu Yuanzheng spliced together and wrapped around himself.
“Hope this test drive goes well!”
