Chapter 85
When the car arrived at the gate of the unit, Lu Cheng's mood was up and down. There was even a moment when he didn't even have the courage to get out of the car. Three years had passed, and nothing had happened in these three years. In fact, he also knew that the thing he was thinking about would not happen. But he was still nervous, conflicted, and even afraid.
It was evening, the sun had already set, and it was time for dinner.
Lu Cheng did not go home immediately, but turned around to find the soldier on guard.
"Captain Lu." The soldier saluted.
Lu Cheng nodded: "During the time I was on the mission, how was everything at home? Did anything happen?"
Soldiers were the ones who could see Lin Qingqing going to and from work every day, so he said: "No, Comrade Lin went to and from work every day, and he looked in good spirits. Little Lu Haici also went to school with his friends every day and was very well behaved."
Hearing this, Lu Cheng felt a little relieved. If Lin Qingqing could still go to and from work every day, it meant that she was still herself. After confirming this, Lu Cheng couldn't wait to go home. He was just walking quickly at first, but as he walked, he started to run.
Behind Lu Cheng, the soldier watched him run and couldn't help but say to the people beside him: "Captain Lu is so good to Comrade Lin. The first thing he does after returning from a mission is to care about Comrade Lin."
Another soldier said: "Comrade Lin is so good. If I have a wife like Comrade Lin, I will also care about her three times a day."
Soldier: "Why three times?"
Another soldier: "Morning, noon, and evening, three meals a day, exactly three times."
Lu Cheng hurriedly ran home, and he didn't even care about the passers-by who greeted him. At this time, Lu Cheng had only one idea in his mind, he wanted to find Lin Qingqing, he wanted to see Lin Qingqing, he wanted...
Lu Cheng's footsteps stopped, he saw the door of the yard at home was open, and saw the chimney of the kitchen at home was smoking. He thought, she is inside.
Lu Cheng walked over nervously, step by step, lightly and carefully. He walked to the kitchen door and saw Lin Qingqing at once. He looked behind the stove again and said in a voice that was never gentler: "I'm back." His heart was pounding as he said that. I'm back, we...
"Dad, you're back?" Suddenly, a little head popped out from behind the stove, and a little kid looked at him with happy eyes.
Lu Cheng: "..." He wanted to curse, "Where's your mother?" All the joy and tenderness in his heart disappeared at this moment.
When Lu Haici heard his father ask this, he was unhappy: "Dad, why did you come back just now? Mom has to fetch water every day, it's so hard."
Hearing this, Lu Cheng understood: "She went to fetch water?" Without waiting for Lu Haici's reply, Lu Cheng turned around and ran. But he didn't run, because he saw Lin Qingqing carrying water and appeared at the gate of the yard. He looked at Lin Qingqing stupidly, his eyes locked on her tightly, and he even forgot to help fetch water.
"You're back?" Lin Qingqing also saw Lu Cheng, and there was deep joy in her eyes. Different from the usual joy and cheerfulness, this time... it was stained with emotions.
"I..."
"Mom..." Lu Cheng was about to speak when he was interrupted. Then a little rascal slipped past him and said enthusiastically, "Mom, you've worked hard. I'll help you." As he spoke, he ran to Lin Qingqing and carried water with Lin Qingqing. He didn't forget to glance at his father, who had no tact at all.
Lu Cheng felt a headache. This child has been very clever since he was a child, and he didn't forget to put him in trouble everywhere. But... puff... Lu Cheng laughed out loud. At this moment, all the worries and tensions were gone. It was still his familiar home, his familiar scene, his familiar son, his familiar... girl.
Lu Cheng strode forward and took the bucket from his son and daughter-in-law: "I'll do it."
Lu Haici said a word and made a face. His father is really... so passive, not like a gay man at all.
Lu Cheng kicked him: "Go light the fire, don't look at me." This is what he would never say before. But now, he said it with confidence. While saying it, he did not forget to look at Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing: "..." Feeling a headache, "You just came back, why don't you go and rest for a while? I'll call you after dinner."
"No, I'm not tired." Lu Cheng flatly refused. How could he go to rest? On the first day of being a couple, he had to perform well. Otherwise, what if he was rejected?
Lin Qingqing glanced at him and knew his character: "Then you can do whatever you want, I'll cook first."
Lu Haici returned to the kitchen and said loudly: "Mom, the hot water is ready, I'll pour the hot water into the thermos."
"Okay, Haici is still sensible." Lin Qingqing started to wash the vegetables, and then looked at Lu Cheng, "Let's make soup noodles tonight?"
Lu Cheng squatted beside her and washed the vegetables diligently: "It's up to you."
Lin Qingqing planned to make vegetable egg noodles, which was what she had planned in the first place. Now that Lu Cheng was back, she just washed more vegetables. "Did the mission go smoothly this time? Did all the comrades return safely?" Lin Qingqing knew that she couldn't ask about the details of the mission, so she wouldn't ask.
Lu Cheng also knew that she was concerned about the safety of her comrades, so he said, "Everyone is fine, but two comrades were slightly injured. They will be fine after two days of recuperation."
Hearing this, Lin Qingqing was relieved.
Lu Cheng washed the vegetables while looking at Lin Qingqing. He wanted to say something but stopped talking.
Lu Cheng squatted in front of Lin Qingqing. His eyes were direct and enthusiastic, but with a hint of forbearance. Lin Qingqing was so close to him that she naturally felt it. In fact, over the past three years, Lu Cheng's eyes had become more and more suppressed when he looked at her, and she naturally understood it. But today, his eyes became direct. "Do you have anything to say?" Lin Qingqing was straightforward, and she felt a little helpless when she was looked at by him like that. Over the past three years, the two have been very well-behaved and have been getting along as friends. Now that the three-year agreement has passed, the constraints between the two have naturally disappeared. Therefore, they can get along with each other frankly.
However, the relationship suddenly changed, and the two were a little shy.
Lu Cheng looked at her, his handsome face flushed a little: "I... I want to ask, what do you think about our relationship?"
Lin Qingqing: "What do you think?" Do you still need to ask this?
Lu Cheng chuckled and then stood up: "Wait a minute." As he said, he walked quickly into the house.
Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows and thought, what is he doing?
But after a while, Lu Cheng came out, holding the iron box he gave to Lin Qingqing three years ago: "Are you willing to accept it now?"
Lin Qingqing: "..."
Lu Cheng looked at her with a firm and serious look in his eyes: "Comrade Lin Qingqing, are you willing to be my revolutionary partner? I will listen to you in everything."
Lu Haici finished drinking water and was speechless when he heard his father's words in the kitchen. He knew that his father and mother had been sleeping in separate rooms for the past three years, although he didn't quite understand it. But his mother said that because the two of them slept together, they would have a little brother and sister, and she didn't want to have a little brother and sister so early. Although Lu Haici didn't understand what his mother meant, he always listened to his mother.
However, didn't his father always listen to his mother? Why did he say that now? Lu Haici didn't understand. He felt that adults were really hard to understand, not as easy to understand as children.
No, children are not easy to understand either, such as Chen Zhou. Sometimes he does not understand him. The look in his eyes when he looks at him is very complicated, more complicated than a math problem. But sometimes he is very easy to understand.
Lin Qingqing looked at his tin box. After the two of them had made things clear three years ago, she returned the tin box to him. In the future, he would give her half of his monthly salary, and she would also take out her own salary as the expenses of their cohabitation.
Lin Qingqing has not accepted the tin box. Lu Cheng is a little nervous: "I...you can ask for anything, and I will try my best to do it." Because of the nervousness, the voice is a little incoherent.
Lin Qingqing took the iron box: "Then I will accept it temporarily. If you make me unhappy later, I will still return it to you." She took the iron box and put it in her room, not forgetting to "threaten" him.
Lu Cheng stared at the room Lin Qingqing walked into, thinking about something.
After dinner, Lin Qingqing packed up and took Lu Haici for a walk as usual. She asked Lu Cheng: "Are you going?" In the past, when Lu Cheng was not on a mission, he would go for a walk with them. Today, Lu Cheng just came back from a mission, and Lin Qingqing felt that Lu Cheng might be too tired to go.
Sure enough, Lu Cheng's eyes flashed and he said, "I won't go. I'll take a shower and go to bed later."
Lin Qingqing said, "Okay, you have a good rest."
Seeing Lin Qingqing taking Lu Cheng for a walk to digest his food, Lu Cheng immediately took action and moved all the things in his room to Lin Qingqing's room. Then he took a shower and slept on Lin Qingqing's bed. Lu Cheng was decisive. Since three years had passed, his definition of himself had naturally changed. He had been thinking about this bed for three years. Now that he could get it, how could he be willing to delay?
Especially after getting on the bed and smelling the familiar smell, he fell asleep in a short while.
Lin Qingqing and Lu Haici came back from a walk of one and a half hours. Lin Qingqing said, "Haici, take a shower first."
Lu Haici: "Mom, I know." He prepared water and took it into the bathroom, then went to the room to get some clothes to change into. As a result, "Mom...Mom...Come quickly."
Lu Haici is eight years old this year. He sleeps in the same room with Lu Cheng, not like when he was a child, when he slept with Lin Qingqing. He went to get some clothes to change into, and was shocked to see the empty room.
Originally, there were two beds side by side, but now there is only one bed. Originally, there were two five-drawer cabinets, but now there is only one. The big desk is gone, but Lu Haici's small desk is still there. The wardrobe is gone too. In short, only Lu Haici's things were left in the room.
When Lin Qingqing heard Lu Haici's cry, she ran into the room and saw the situation clearly. To be honest, she was also shocked.
"Mom, there won't be a thief in our house, right?" No matter how smart Lu Haici was, he didn't expect that this was his father's masterpiece because it was too sudden.
Lin Qingqing knew what was going on at a glance, and she immediately went to her room... What's going on with that ball on the bed?
"Mom... How could Dad do this?" Lu Haici also followed to Lin Qingqing's room. He saw his father sleeping on the bed and was really angry.
Lin Qingqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even though she knew that Lu Cheng had a bold character, she didn't expect him to do such a thing. You just came back today, are you so impatient?
Wait, Lu Cheng has done this now, he won't want to do this and that at night, right? Is he so anxious? Probably not, right?
But... Lin Qingqing often sees various comments about men on the Internet, for example, it's not good for men to hold back. No, Lu Cheng is 31 years old this year, and he has been holding back for 31 years.
Lin Qingqing hurriedly shook her head to get rid of these messy thoughts. "Then wake up your father and call him over?"
Lu Haici actually wanted to sleep with his mother, but he also knew that boys can't sleep with their mothers when they grow up. Ji Yang, Qin Ming, Chen Zhou, they don't sleep with their mothers anymore. But now, seeing his father sleeping in his mother's bed, he is very angry.
But on second thought, he said, "Mom, let Dad sleep here. I want a little brother and a little sister." Ji Yang's mother almost divorced Ji Yang's father because she didn't give birth to a little brother and a little sister. He was also worried that if his parents didn't give birth to a little brother or a little sister, his father would divorce his mother, so... let Dad sleep in Mom's bed, so that if they have a little brother or a little sister, they won't get divorced.
Lu Haici, who had his own ideas, suddenly became happy again. As long as Dad and Mom didn't get divorced, what's wrong with letting Dad sleep in Mom's bed? So, his eyes became excited, and he looked at his father as if he was looking at some "rare treasure".
Lu Cheng had just fallen asleep, but they had only been out for an hour and a half, and he had taken a shower and moved things, which took some time, so Lu Cheng was still in a light sleep. As soon as Lin Qingqing and Lu Haici came back, he woke up when he heard the noise. Then when he heard Lu Haici's words, his whole body tensed up. Now Lin Qingqing and Lu Haici were watching him at the door, and he didn't dare to move at all. Especially when he heard Lin Qingqing asking Lu Haici to wake him up, he felt a little "desperate". This was really something an unfilial son would do.
Fortunately, the unfilial son had a little conscience in the end, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Qingqing heard what Lu Haici said, and said, "Then go take a shower." She was not nervous. Anyway, she had decided to be a real couple with Lu Cheng, so this was an inevitable experience. Although they have been friends for three years, it is equivalent to a three-year platonic love. In these three years, the two have understood, respected and gotten to know each other. It seems that they have wasted three years, but in fact, they have not.
The premise of marriage is love, and love is a process of mutual understanding. They just fell in love after marriage, which is a rare experience for them.
Lin Qingqing has already made a decision about her future life, so her mentality is very good.
But Lu Cheng doesn't know that Lu Cheng is worried every day that she will leave in three years. For Lu Cheng, it is a rare surprise that she is still there when he returns from a mission. So at this moment, he is very nervous, for fear that Lin Qingqing will drive him out. However, he has to take this step, otherwise who knows if he will continue like he did three years ago. As a gay man, he needed to take the initiative to take this step before Lin Qingqing. He took this step first, which meant that he would bear all the consequences.
"Mom, I'm going to take a bath." Lu Haici thought that he would soon have a little brother or sister, so he hummed a song while taking a bath, and the song he hummed was still a military song. "One, two, three, four... one, two, three, four..."
Lin Qingqing listened to his off-key singing that could even be in a modern tune, and walked into the room shaking her head in a state of laughter and tears. Lin Qingqing walked to the bedside, looking at Lu Cheng who was sleeping soundly, she whispered: "Lu Cheng..."
Lu Cheng closed his eyes tightly, and would never open them even if he died.
Lin Qingqing: "Lu Cheng, I know you are awake." Not to mention that they only took an hour and a half to walk to digest the food, even if it was two and a half hours, with Lu Cheng's sharpness and the noise they made when they came back, he would definitely wake up. But now... this man is sleeping like a dead pig, it's obviously fake.
However, Lin Qingqing was not absolutely sure, she was just guessing. Seeing that Lu Cheng still didn't wake up, she didn't continue to call, and pulled a blanket over the side and covered Lu Cheng. In fact, she knew very well that she did not feel that much pressure about their relationship. It might be because she knew that she was in a relationship that was in a book, but Lu Cheng was different. He did not know that this was a world in a book. In addition, his personality was also professional, so he felt pressure about their relationship.
Lin Qingqing did not want to be passive while he was under pressure. He took the initiative, so she should naturally respond. Lin Qingqing covered him with a blanket, and then touched his face. It must be said that handsome men are easy to make people like and accept.
There is another reason why she can accept Lu Cheng calmly, and that is the cause of Lu Cheng and the original owner's marriage, which allows her to accept it calmly. "Lu Cheng, you are very handsome." She touched his angular face and walked out of the room.
After she walked out of the room, Lu Cheng suddenly opened his eyes. He patted his face. It was hot and must be red. He just didn't know how red it was and whether she had noticed it.
However, thinking of her actions and her words, he smiled silently again. He was not a fool, so he naturally understood why she behaved like that.
The more Lu Cheng thought about it, the better his mood became. He couldn't help wanting to laugh out loud, but he tried his best to hold it back.
Half an hour later, Lin Qingqing came back from taking a shower. She closed the door, got on the bed and spoke again: "Lu Cheng, are you awake?"
Lu Cheng's response was still silence.
Lin Qingqing lay down and sighed: "What a pity. I was thinking about whether we should have the wedding night today."
Lu Cheng's ears moved, and he told himself not to be fooled. If he "woke up" now, wouldn't that tell her that he was not asleep?
Lin Qingqing was a little disappointed to see that he was still motionless. However, the two of them were sleeping together at this moment, and Lin Qingqing was still a little excited, excited and nervous, but different from the nervousness she had three years ago. She was nervous three years ago because she was afraid that he would find out something was wrong. Now she was nervous, the kind of nervousness that a boyfriend and girlfriend have when they go to bed for the first time.
But... this man had his back to her, and she looked at his back, and she seemed not to be nervous anymore. It's just... Lin Qingqing narrowed her eyes, looking at the scars on his back, her heart was gripped. This was the first time she saw Lu Cheng's back, she didn't know that he had such deep scars on his back.
Lin Qingqing couldn't help but reach out and touch his scars, which should be knife marks or something like that. Lin Qingqing sighed, retracted her hand, turned around, and began to sleep with her back to Lu Cheng. However, it was still early and she couldn't fall asleep, but she felt very safe with someone by her side.
Just as she sighed, an arm stretched out from behind her and across her waist. "What are you sighing for?"
Lin Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, thump, thump, thump, this is probably... the feeling of a fluttering deer. "Are you not pretending anymore?" Lin Qingqing asked nervously.
Although she had been very calm before, she was nervous when Lu Cheng suddenly approached her, and there was some shyness in her nervousness.
"You found out everything." Lu Cheng said, "How are you so smart?" He moved closer, but did nothing, just stayed close to her. It was the first time he did such a thing. Although he had been fantasizing about it for three years and had done it many times in his dreams, it was the first time he actually did it, so he was still a little cautious, fearing that she would refuse.
"Thank you for the award." Lin Qingqing said.
Lu Cheng smiled softly: "But you are the most special person I have ever met."
Lin Qingqing continued: "Really thank you for the award." Really, he was embarrassed by the praise.
Lu Cheng: "Qingqing..."
Hearing him suddenly call her name tenderly, Lin Qingqing's heartbeat that had just calmed down started again: "Hmm?"
Lu Cheng: "Are you willing to be my wife?"
Lin Qingqing was speechless: "Didn't you ask before dinner? I have accepted your iron box."
Lu Cheng said frankly: "I always have a trance feeling and don't want to believe everything now."
"That's easy, I'll prove it to you." Lin Qingqing said, stretched out his hand, and pinched Lu Cheng's hand hard. The result... There was no soft flesh on his arm, so he couldn't pinch it at all. "Your hands are so hard to pinch." Lu Cheng didn't know
