"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid."
Su Tang stood up suddenly, his face turned cold: "He dares to come over and try!"
Lu Xiao was originally helping to put things away at the door. When he heard the noise, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
He walked a few steps to the gate of the courtyard and looked coldly at Wang Jianfeng's house opposite.
Wang Jianfeng seemed to want to smash something, but probably when he saw Lu Xiao at the door, he didn't take any further action.
With Zhang Cui's comfort, Mai Sui's crying gradually subsided.
The child was sensible. After he realized what was happening, he stopped crying and just looked at them with his big eyes.
Zhang Cui gently patted her daughter's back and whispered, as if to Mai Sui, or perhaps to herself: "Don't be afraid, Mai Sui. Aunt Su, Uncle Lu, and Mom are here."
Lu Xiao turned around, and his tall figure cast a shadow at the door.
It gives people a sense of security and comfort.
He didn't look at the door opposite again, but walked straight back into the house, closed the door behind him, and shut out all the noise outside.
"Sister-in-law, Mai Sui, it's okay."
The man's voice was low, with a calming power. When his eyes fell on Su Tang, the layer of frost melted quietly, leaving only helplessness.
Is there still a trace of grievance?
Su Tang received his gaze, raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared in her almond eyes.
She walked to Lu Xiao, raised her hand naturally, and brushed away the dust on his shoulders.
"It scared our wheat ears."
Her voice softened, with a hint of coaxing, but her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Xiao: "Did you scare our Comrade Lu too?"
Lu Xiao's ears felt slightly hot at her teasing comfort.
He coughed lightly, glanced at Zhang Cui who was still comforting Mai Sui, and spoke in a low voice.
"I'm a grown man, there's nothing to be scared of."
Having said that, his tone softened noticeably, and he even tilted his head slightly to allow her hand to continue to rest on his shoulder.
"I've asked for leave for you at the hospital."
When I said this, it felt like I was taking credit for it.
Su Tang just remembered that he had to go to work in the afternoon.
I have to say that Lu Xiao is very attentive.
Su Tang's fingers paused, and instead gently poked his strong shoulder.
The girl lowered her voice even more, with a tone of intimacy that only he could hear: "Thank you."
She tiptoed slightly, leaned close to his ear, and her breath brushed against his earlobe: "I'll have to ask you to squeeze in with Chang Jia for the next few days."
Lu Xiao's body stiffened slightly, and some emotion quickly surged in his eyes, and then turned into warmth.
He lowered his eyes to look at his wife who was standing so close to him. Her fair neck and eyes with a sly smile instantly made the slight unhappiness he had just felt disappear.
Lu Xiao's Adam's apple rolled, but he didn't refute her. Instead, he agreed with her, his voice low and a little hoarse, like a child asking for candy: "Since you need help from someone, shouldn't you coax me a little?"
Su Tang was almost amused by his straightforward request for comfort. She quickly pursed her lips, her eyes full of tenderness.
She raised her hand, this time not to brush away the dust, but to gently rub his earlobe, which was slightly tense due to nervousness, with her fingertips. It felt warm and slightly hard.
It was an extremely intimate and soothing little gesture.
"Then wait for you to come back, I will prepare a big gift for you."
These words made people think a lot, and even made Lu Xiao want to ask Su Tang what the big gift was.
He nodded obediently, hummed, and turned to pick up the divorce report on the table.
When he picked up Zhang Cui's water cup, he asked in a gentle voice, "Sister-in-law, can I pour you some more hot water?"
Zhang Cui held the wheat ears and watched the young couple's affectionate interaction as if no one was around.
Although she couldn't hear what they said exactly, Zhang Cui was envious of the warmth between them.
She nodded quickly: "Oh, okay, thank you Brother Lu."
Lu Xiao went to pour water, while Su Tang returned to Zhang Cui and gently touched Mai Sui's little face: "Good boy Mai Sui, the bad guys have been chased away by Uncle Lu, don't be afraid."
The wheat ear smiled to show that he was happy.
In the evening, after Lu Xiao finished cooking at home, he went to the dormitory to find Chang Jia.
Chang Jia was reading a book when he heard footsteps. He thought it was someone from the next dormitory visiting.
"I'll squeeze in with you these few days."
It was not until he heard Lu Xiao's voice that Chang Jia looked up at him.
"Hey, what a rare guest! Why are you here?"
People like them who have not applied to have their family members accompany them in the military basically live in dormitories.
This dormitory is not only small but also very crowded. Those who can live in the staff housing estate are not willing to live here.
"Didn't you hear about what happened in the cafeteria at noon?"
Lu Xiao took out the quilt that Su Tang had prepared for him and spread it on the bed.
Hearing Lu Xiao say this, Chang Jia closed the book: "I heard about it, how could I not have heard about it, your wife is really brave."
Anyone who dared to talk about Wang Jianfeng's affairs was afraid of getting into trouble, except Su Tang.
Chang Jia came over and asked curiously, "Tell me quickly, what happened at the scene? Is your wife super cool?"
While making the bed, Lu Xiao briefly talked about what happened at noon. When he mentioned that Su Tang stood up to protect Zhang Cui, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
Chang Jia saw his expression and scolded him with a smile: "Come on, come on, you know your wife is so powerful, so you can just be happy!"
"I'm really bored too. Asking you this question is just asking for trouble."
Lying in bed at night, Lu Xiao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Usually at this time, he could smell the faint scent of soap on Su Tang's body and listen to her even breathing.
Now the only sound around him was Chang Jia's snoring, which made him annoyed.
Early the next morning, Lu Xiao got up and brought food to Su Tang and the others from the cafeteria.
Su Tang had just woken up and came to open the door in a daze.
She looked like she would fall into his arms in the next second.
"So sleepy?"
Lu Xiao smiled and reached out to rub Su Tang's head.
The way he looks now, there's no trace of him like when he first met Su Tang.
Su Tang yawned and said, "My sister-in-law talked to me for a long time last night."
"My sister-in-law has had a hard time too. That Wang Jianfeng is really a piece of shit."
Lu Xiao looked at the faint blue shadows under Su Tang's eyes with heartache, and stuffed the lunch box containing steaming hot breakfast into her hands.
"Eat quickly, then take a nap."
As he spoke, he pulled out an oil-paper bag from his pocket like a magician: "These are the canteen's newly made sweet cakes, saved for you."
Su Tang's eyes instantly lit up like stars. She looked at Lu Xiao's face and suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
"You...you should go back soon."
Lu Xiao's ears turned red again. Seeing Su Tang turning around to leave, he put his arm around Su Tang's waist.
The man's breath was close at hand, and Su Tang felt Lu Xiao bending down and moving closer to her.
"What does this mean?"
This time, he wasn't going to let her go and just kiss him and run away.
"What...what do you mean?"
Su Tang couldn't break free, and was afraid of waking up Zhang Cui and Mai Sui who were sleeping inside, so her face turned red.
"Is that what I thought it meant?"
