Chapter 37 Heart pounding



Lao Geng's eyes made Lu Xiao feel helpless, how could he not see it.

Lao Geng felt that he and Su Tang were not a good match no matter how he looked at it.

If it were in the past, it probably wouldn’t be his turn to marry Su Tang.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiao couldn't help but straighten his back. No matter what others said, he had married her anyway.

Others said that Su Tang came from a poor family and could not be married, but what could they do about it.

Lu Xiao is not someone who is afraid of that kind of thing.

Not to mention, after being in contact with Su Tang for so long, he felt that he had made a profit.

No one knows how good Su Tang is.

If possible, Lu Xiao doesn't want others to know.

Let him keep this treasure.

"Old Geng, thanks to you this time."

Lu Xiao looked around the small shop and asked, "Is business okay?"

"It's okay. I won't starve to death."

With Lu Xiao's words, Lao Geng quickly became open-minded.

He looked at Su Tang, his eyes gentle with the look of an elder looking at a younger person.

"It's all in the past. Lu Xiao, this guy, looks cold, but his heart is warm. With him around, nothing is a problem. You don't know, he used to..."

"Old Geng."

Lu Xiao suddenly spoke, his voice was not loud, but it contained a hint of restraint, and his ears seemed to be a little red.

Old Geng seemed not to hear and continued talking to himself with a hint of emotion.

"Back in the battlefield, he nearly lost his life trying to cover the retreat of a wounded comrade! The thing grazed his back and pierced his clothes! But this guy gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, carrying the man back on his back."

"Later, I stayed in the hospital for nearly half a month, which almost drove the company commander crazy! He's got that kind of personality. Once he makes up his mind, nothing can change it. He's very protective of his people! And when someone makes up their mind, he's even more..."

“Ahem!”

This time, Lu Xiao coughed twice loudly, looking a little embarrassed, and looked at Lao Geng with a warning look.

Su Tang opened her eyes wide and looked at Lu Xiao.

She didn't know much. What she knew about Lu Xiao came half from the original book and half from their time together.

But I never heard the details.

But Su Tang felt that Lao Geng’s words were right.

Lu Xiao is really a man with great sense of responsibility.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Seeing that Lu Xiao was getting a little anxious, Old Geng laughed and stopped talking, then asked, "Sister-in-law, are you used to it here? Life in the northwest is a bit tough, not as good as Shanghai."

But it's safer here.

Su Tang nodded quickly: "I'm used to it. My sisters-in-law all take good care of me."

She couldn't help but secretly glance at Lu Xiao again. He was lowering his head, not knowing what he was looking at.

They stayed in Lao Geng's shop for half an hour, mainly during which Lu Xiao and Lao Geng whispered a few words about the follow-up of Scar-Eye Lao Hei.

There's something else.

Su Tang didn't hear the details clearly, but seeing Lu Xiao's cold eyes, Lao Geng patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, that kid won't be able to jump around for a few more days."

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic Lao Geng, the two of them pushed their bicycles back.

The sun was setting in the west, stretching the shadows of the two people long.

Lu Xiao pushed the cart and Su Tang walked beside him.

Lao Geng's words were still circling in her mind. Looking at the silent and resolute profile of the man beside her, Su Tang's heart was beating fast.

"Lu Xiao..."

Su Tang spoke softly, breaking the silence.

"Hmm?" Lu Xiao turned his head to look at her.

"Master Geng just said...your back..."

Su Tang's voice was a little hesitant and cautious: "Does it still hurt?"

Lu Xiao obviously didn't expect her to ask this. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in a flat tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"It's all gone now, just a scar."

"oh……"

Su Tang responded, but felt a little depressed.

She was silent for a moment, then thought of what Old Geng had said about protecting someone's shortcomings. Her face flushed a little, and she tried to find something to say: "Master Geng is such a nice person, and he knows you very well."

"Yes, we are old comrades, a friendship that spans life and death."

Lu Xiao's voice deepened: "He...talks a lot, don't mind what he says."

“No problem!”

Su Tang immediately shook his head, his voice unconsciously rising a little: "I think Master Geng said it very well!"

She paused, mustered her courage, and lowered her voice again: "It makes me understand you better."

Lu Xiao's hand pushing the cart paused slightly, and he didn't respond, but the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch upwards almost imperceptibly.

If you want to get to know him, does that mean you have feelings for him?

Or maybe, I'm interested.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm glow on the two of them.

Su Tang looked at the shadows of the two people standing side by side on the ground, very close to each other.

"By the way, do you know Lin Qian?"

This time, what Su Tang said was a bit sour, and she didn't even realize it.

Lu Xiao didn't stop walking, but his brows knitted slightly, as if he was trying to recall: "Lin Qian? Who?"

It sounds a little familiar, but I can't match it with the face.

Seeing his reaction, Su Tang's inexplicable bitterness instantly dissipated. She even felt like laughing: "It's the one who took the initiative to ask to see the child."

"The beautiful lady who gave you snacks last time."

"oh."

Lu Xiao remembered it, and his tone was calm.

"I don't know him. Maybe I saw him at a cultural performance before."

He turned his head and looked at Su Tang seriously, adding: "She is taking care of the child, it has nothing to do with us."

They don't have children to look after.

These words were like a small stone dropped into Su Tang's heart, creating ripples.
