With this thought in mind, Xu Ruantang was absent-minded all afternoon.
When Chen Ji came home that evening, she made up an excuse, grabbed Xiao Bao, and ran upstairs. She hadn't figured out how to face him yet, so she decided to just avoid him!
Footsteps sounded going upstairs. Chen Ji pushed open the door and handed her a cloth bag.
"What is this?" Xu Ruantang did not answer.
Chen Ji coughed lightly, "You'll see when you see it. I'm going to take a shower."
He left, and when Xu Ruantang opened it, she found that it contained sanitary napkins!
So Chen Ji knew she hadn't slept well last night because of her period, and that's why he bought it for her?
Xu Ruantang's curiosity was quickly drawn to the sanitary napkins of this era; they were large and thick, and didn't have protective wings attached to the sides.
This thing was a lifesaver for her; God knows how inconvenient it was for her to use toilet paper. Her godmother even taught her how to use it.
Chen Ji probably didn't understand how many pills a woman needed at once, so he simply bought a whole cloth bag full of them.
Who would have thought that the green cloth bag used by the military contained sanitary napkins?
Xu Ruantang recalled the scene when he went to buy it, and her feelings were indescribably complicated.
After Chen Ji finished showering and went upstairs, Xu Ruantang fled downstairs as if she were escaping.
He reached out his hand, watching her retreating figure, but swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
So much has happened these past two days, and Chen Ji still wants to ask about what happened the night he got drunk.
Why does it feel like she's avoiding him?
Xiao Bao crawled around on the bed, sticking her little bottom out and trying to get off. Chen Ji reached out and scooped her up, then started to coax her to sleep.
"Little one, because of you, Daddy can't spend time alone with Mommy."
Xiao Bao responded with "Daddy, Daddy," and a helpless yet tender expression crossed Chen Ji's face.
"Call me 'Mommy,' and Mommy will stay."
Xu Ruantang went downstairs, applied the medicine to her godmother and rubbed it in before slowly taking a shower.
After taking a shower, she didn't rush upstairs. Instead, she sat alone on the sofa for a long time without turning on the lights.
My heart aches with a bittersweet feeling.
When she went back to her room to sleep, Chen Ji still gently placed his hand on Xiao Bao's back, and the two of them fell asleep.
The room light was on, and with his eyes closed, his usually cold expression softened.
Xu Ruantang sat on the edge of the bed, staring at his handsome face for a long time.
A moment later, she removed Chen Ji's hand from Xiao Bao's body, turned off the light, and went to bed.
With Children's Day just around the corner, Aunt Liu and her godmother discussed and perfectly recreated the wedding dress drawn by Xu Ruantang.
As soon as it was done, the two couldn't wait to have Xu Ruantang try it on.
The modified cheongsam, which reached to the calves, was designed because Xu Ruantang was worried that it would be impossible to make. At the time, she also wanted to keep it simple and easy, so she drew what she thought was the simplest version.
As soon as she came out, the eyes of everyone in the main room widened in astonishment.
Her waist was so slender it could be encircled with one hand, and the red color made her skin appear even whiter than snow, her figure graceful and elegant.
"Wow, so beautiful! She looks exactly like a celestial maiden!"
Aunt Liu couldn't stop smiling. She made the clothes herself, and now that they looked so good, she was very proud!
"Let me see! Let me see!"
Li Shuhe's voice came from outside the door. She had been visiting Xu Ruantang's place very frequently these past few days, and she didn't go to the art troupe as often anymore.
She came in carrying a pair of high heels.
Upon seeing Xu Ruantang, her eyes were filled with amazement. She placed her high heels on the ground and said, "Come on, put on your shoes!"
She specifically found these shoes for me. "I just bought them not long ago. I thought they were nice when I bought them, but now I have nowhere to wear them. Since it's your wedding, I'm giving them to you!"
"I haven't worn it! It's not old, it's new!"
Li Shuhe emphasized.
Xu Ruantang looked at the high heels and was at a loss. Except for school events where she was asked to wear them as a hostess, she usually wore flat shoes everywhere.
Li Shuhe urged her, "What are you standing there for? Try it on. Ruan Ruan, you're not disgusted by me, are you? I've really never worn one before!"
The two are about the same height and wear the same shoe size.
These high heels must be at least eight centimeters high, and they're stilettos. As soon as Xu Ruantang put them on, she instantly felt much taller.
Li Shuhe circled around her with satisfaction, "Beautiful, beautiful, they really match!"
My godmother and Aunt Liu kept praising it.
"Sister-in-law, is your sister-in-law home?"
A man's voice came from outside the door. Li Shuhe went out first and saw that it was Xu Hanli, with two soldiers behind him.
"Hey, Li Shuhe, what are you doing here?"
Xu Hanli spoke with a slightly teasing tone, his face full of nonchalance as he faced Li Shuhe.
Li Shuhe retorted sarcastically, "What are you doing here? Chen Ji isn't here."
Xu Ruantang also came out. "Yes, he should be at the regimental headquarters."
Xu Hanli waved his hand, and the two soldiers behind him carried the things inside.
The two young soldiers glanced at Xu Ruantang only once before hurriedly lowering their heads to look at each other.
No wonder she could make the commander laugh; her sister-in-law is truly a beauty unmatched in heaven and earth.
None of the girls in those performing arts troupes can compare to my sister-in-law.
Xu Hanli followed him inside and explained, "I'm not here to see Old Chen, I'm here to give you a wedding gift!"
As he spoke, Xu Hanli proudly pointed to the television.
"Look, a color television."
Li Shuhe was shocked. "Xu Hanli, are your parents aware that you're so generous?"
"Why should they know? I can make my own decisions."
Xu Hanli patted his chest, "I'd do anything for my brothers! To celebrate the wedding of our eternal bachelor Old Chen, I've spent all my savings!"
"My goodness, a color TV has cost you all your savings for a wife. It looks like you'll be a bachelor for another twenty years. By then, the old bachelor won't be Chen Ji anymore, it will be you."
