He glanced at Xu Niannian and didn't say anything.

Lu Huaijin introduced him:

"She is your aunt, call her aunt from now on."

Lu Ze spoke hesitantly and whispered:

"Hello, Auntie."

Xu Niannian took out two White Rabbit candies from her pocket and stuffed them into his hand:

"Take it and eat it, kid."

Lu Ze clenched his fists: "I'm not calling you kid, I'm Lu Ze."

Xu Niannian patted his shoulder:

"Okay, hello, Comrade Lu Ze."

Lu Ze ignored her, turned around and ran towards the house.

Xu Niannian didn't care. Children aged three or four always have some strange ideas:

"Where's his brother?"

"My younger brother is Lu Yilin. He is quiet and doesn't like to talk. He may be playing by himself in the room. I will go boil some water for you so you can take a bath later."

After being on the road for a few days, Xu Niannian must have been unable to bear the dirt on his body.

Xu Niannian did not refuse: "Okay."

By the time she finished her meal, Lu Huaijin had already boiled the water, washed the basins, and brought a clean new towel.

But they don’t have a bathtub at home:

"Just use this big basin for now. I'll go cut down some trees and make a bathtub for you tomorrow."

"Okay, but do you want to make the bathtub yourself?"

"Well, you're worried?"

Lu Huaijin stood in the hot steam, pouring bath water for Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian thought of something, her face slightly flushed, and she leaned gently against the kitchen door:

"No."

The man put the water into two large basins and cleared a space in the kitchen:

"You can take a shower here first. I'll build a bathroom for you later."

He had been on missions before and had no time to do it. When he moved in, the house didn't have a dedicated bathroom.

Inadvertently looking up and seeing Xu Niannian's slightly red cheeks, Lu Huaijin clenched his fists:

"You take a shower, I'm going out."

Xu Niannian passed by him sideways and smelled the unique scent of Xu Niannian in the air.

Lu Huaijin suppressed the thoughts churning in his mind, walked out with difficulty, and closed the kitchen door.

The last thing I saw was Xu Niannian bending down to touch the water temperature, and her earlobe seemed to be dripping with blood.

For some reason, this slightly cool autumn night also felt slightly restless.

Listening to the rustling sounds of clothes being taken off, the intimacy between the two of them that night reappeared in his mind. He knew how great her figure was.

A large area of ​​white and tenderness floated before my eyes.

He closed his eyes, quickly smoothed his short hair with his hands, walked quickly to the yard, took off his shirt and trousers, leaving only a pair of shorts.

He took a basin of cold water from the vat and poured it over his head.

For a long time, the water continued to spread along his hair, then seeped along his abdominal muscles into his shorts. The evening breeze seemed to blow away the restlessness in him.

He finally calmed down and looked up at the sky. The moonlight was very beautiful tonight.

Suddenly, Xu Niannian's soft voice came from the kitchen.

He came closer, stood at the door, and asked inside:

"What's wrong?"

Xu Niannian closed her eyes. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed the one who did such an embarrassing thing.

She was so focused on looking at Lu Huaijin that she completely forgot to get new clothes. Now that she had finally washed them, she didn't want to continue wearing the dirty clothes from the train.

Xu Niannian knew that he couldn't see her, so she still covered her chest:

"Can you...can you help me get a change of clothes? I forgot to take them. They are in my army green bag."

Lu Huaijin didn't expect this and agreed in a low voice.

"good."

He opened the bag and rummaged through her clothes with his large hands, helping her find a nightgown, and saw the pink little dress he had seen in their bathroom before.

She just covered it with her nightgown, and I could see the underwear she was wearing underneath.

He knotted his fingers together and decided to wait for her to come out and get it himself.

I walked to the kitchen door again, turned my back to the door, and knocked:

"Here you go."

Xu Niannian opened the door a crack from the inside, quickly snatched it from his hand, and quickly closed the door again.

Lu Huaijin smiled. If he really wanted to do something, this speed would not be a problem for him.

She was putting on her clothes inside, and Lu Huaijin also brought the luggage and other things into the house.

He quickly put on his clothes and tidied up the room, which he had almost tidied before he left.

The furniture hasn't been replaced yet, but it looks okay.

He tidied up the room with a rag and was making the bed when Xu Niannian walked in.

She closed the door as soon as she came in. Now I can feel the wind down there when I walk. I don't understand why I didn't give her her underwear. Did she think she would have to take it off sooner or later, or was she just shy?

It makes her very shy now.

Lu Huaijin paused while making the bed:

“You’re here.”

Xu Niannian nodded, half-knelt down, and took out another clean bright red four-piece suit from her luggage:

"Lay this."

Lu Huaijin took it and quickly made the bed.

I stood up and looked around. It seemed that there was nothing missing:

"It's relatively simple here at the beginning. If there's anything you need, make me a list tomorrow and I'll go out and get it for you."

Xu Niannian nodded. He was still a very responsible person. Standing next to him was really like having a protective umbrella.

When she thought about what might happen today, she didn't seem so scared anymore.

After being tired for a few days, she finally couldn't help but sit on the made bed when she saw it.

Lu Huaijin looked at her white calves that were exposed when she sat down, and they looked even whiter under the bright red sheets.

Night is the time when ambiguity breeds.

He rolled his throat and spoke:

"Then I'll leave first?"

Xu Niannian's face froze, and he looked up at him involuntarily and asked:

"Aren't you going to sleep here?"

When Lu Huaijin heard this, he clenched his fists. Yes, before, when he was at home, he usually accompanied the children to sleep.

But now that he has a wife, he still habitually wants to go back to sleep with his children.

"Would you like to?"

He could see that Xu Niannian still needed time to adapt to this place.

Xu Niannian grabbed the bed sheet with her hands and even began to regret saying that. She seemed very impatient, but it was obviously not her who was anxious.

Lu Huaijin's gaze fell on her fingertips which looked a little white due to pulling the bed sheets. She seemed to be trying very hard.

Was it my words that embarrassed her?

He half-knelt in front of her:

"Can I go tell the kid? I'll be with you later."

Xu Niannian lowered his head:

"Who wants you to accompany me? I don't want it."

Lu Huaijin reached out and held the person in his arms:

"It's me who wants to accompany you. I want to accompany you. I have been wanting to hug you since just now. I am afraid of offending you."

He sniffed her hair gently:

"If I made you feel uncomfortable just now, it's my fault."
