The honeycomb coal stove in the kitchen couldn't be lit for a while, so they couldn't boil water for the time being.
Lu Shi felt sorry for Zhang Weifang, so he took a basin of cold water and prepared to wipe the dust in the house.
There was hot water in Zhang Weifang's folding space, but she couldn't use it in front of Lu Shi, so she found a way to let Lu Shi go back to his own home.
"Lu Shi, I can just wipe the dust at home with a dry cloth. Don't use cold water, it's too cold."
Lu Shi thought Zhang Weifang was feeling sorry for him, and his heart instantly felt warm:
"It's okay, I can finish this job quickly."
Zhang Weifang said in a deliberately coquettish tone:
"Oh, your stove isn't lit yet. Go home and light it first, or how are you going to sleep tonight?"
It was the first time that Lu Shi saw Zhang Weifang like this, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart.
He stared at her with wide eyes, not blinking, as if he wanted to imprint her expression at that moment deeply in his mind.
Zhang Weifang blushed when Lu Shi looked at her, and she pushed him out.
Lu Shi laughed secretly at the door and then climbed over the wall to go back to his home. He felt that Zhang Weifang was becoming more and more interesting. Why didn't he notice it before?
After finally "driving Lu Shi away", Zhang Weifang breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly took a dry rag and wiped the cabinets and tables in the house.
The second time I used a semi-wet cloth. After wiping it twice, the house was almost clean.
However, there was also a layer of dust on the bed sheet, so Zhang Weifang changed it again.
After cleaning the house, Zhang Weifang took time to clean herself up. She took a shower and changed her clothes inside and out.
The same went for Hu Zi. Zhang Weifang stripped him naked and soaked him in the water. Hu Zi played with the water for a while before starting to take a bath.
Every time Zhang Weifang uses the washing machine, he would thank the Yue Lao system in his heart. If it weren't for it, he would have to wash clothes by hand in the middle of winter. That kind of life is really unimaginable.
After they finished packing up, it was already dark and time for dinner. Zhang Weifang was too tired to move. Lu Shi consciously cooked a pot of porridge and baked three pancakes. The three of them ate their meal with pickles and went to bed.
The next morning, Lu Shi came over. Zhang Weifang and Hu Zi got up only after he made breakfast.
The three of them had breakfast. Lu Shi skillfully cleaned out the coal ash and added some broken coal balls before washing the dishes.
Zhang Weifang looked at Lu Shi's busy figure and felt a little sorry. He walked over to look at Lu Shi and smiled gently:
"Lu Shi, thank you for helping me. Bring your dirty clothes here and I'll wash them for you."
"No, my clothes are too thick. I can wash them myself. It's so cold, I don't want you to get cold."
"Okay then." In fact, Zhang Weifang was just going through the motions.
She couldn't say that she had a washing machine. Since Lu Shi refused, she could only blame him for being unlucky, not her laziness.
Zhang Weifang was going to work the next day and was planning to have a good rest. Hu Zi had already gone next door to play with Maomao, so only Zhang Weifang and Lu Shi were left at home.
The two of them were alone together, and Zhang Weifang felt a little awkward. She asked for something to talk about:
"Is our relationship settled?"
"What do you think?" Lu Shi stared at her and asked.
Zhang Weifang didn't dare to look into Lu Shi's eyes, her gaze wandered around.
Lu Shi felt that this couldn't go on any longer. Zhang Weifang was still avoiding him. He didn't know what she was afraid of.
Zhang Weifang was sitting by the stove warming herself by the fire, and Lu Shi immediately grabbed her hand.
Zhang Weifang tried to struggle, but failed, so she gave up.
Lu Shi's palms were thick, his fingers were thick, and there were calluses on his palms. They were not the kind of slender and white hands, but they were warm and strong.
Zhang Weifang picked up his palm and examined it carefully. The three lines on it were deep and long. She didn't understand palmistry, so she just looked at it casually.
After a while, Lu Shi couldn't help but ask:
"What do you see?"
"I don't understand it, I'm just looking at it casually."
Lu Shi held Zhang Weifang's hand in his own to prevent her from moving. He raised his head and asked seriously:
"Are you dissatisfied with me in any way? Tell me in advance, and I will definitely change anything that can be changed."
Speaking of this, Zhang Weifang became excited. She stared at Lu Shi closely and said in a half-complaining and half-coquettish tone:
"I don't like smoking, didn't you know that a long time ago? Also, you have to find a way to make money, you can't let me support the family."
"Also, you must stop doing anything illegal. Also, stop associating with those bad friends you had before..."
Zhang Weifang talked a lot, and Lu Shi frowned as he listened:
"Is there nothing good about me?"
"Yes, he's handsome, good at fighting, and efficient at work."
Lu Shi was even more speechless after hearing this:
"Doesn't he have inner beauty? Can he even make up the fact that he's good at fighting?"
Lu Shi looked at Zhang Weifang and made a serious promise:
"I haven't smoked for a long time, haven't you noticed? I haven't contacted my old friends anymore, and I've handed over all my money."
"Well, I hope you keep your word. I hate people making random promises the most." Zhang Weifang stared at Lu Shi with burning eyes.
Thinking of her past experiences, she could no longer suppress the grievances in her heart and tears began to fall.
Lu Shi knew that he might have touched upon her sad past, so he stood up and hugged Zhang Weifang, letting her cry her heart out.
Zhang Weifang was like a child, tears constantly flowing out of her eyes like a dam bursting, as if she wanted to release all the sadness and grievances in her heart.
After a long time, when she slowly raised her head and her eyes fell on Lu Shi's clothes that were soaked with her tears, she couldn't help feeling shy and embarrassed.
She secretly glanced at Lu Shi and saw him standing quietly by her side, without any expression of blame or impatience. Instead, his eyes revealed a look of concern and heartache, which made Zhang Weifang feel even more uncomfortable.
She subconsciously reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying to hide her embarrassment and awkwardness.
However, the moment her fingers touched her cheek, a warm feeling came over her again, reminding her of everything she had just experienced.
Zhang Weifang took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in her heart, and then whispered to Lu Shi: "I'm sorry, I got your clothes dirty."
Lu Shi took out a small handkerchief to wipe her tears, and then said jokingly:
"Why didn't I notice you were such a crybaby before?"
Zhang Weifang's competitive spirit suddenly rose:
"I don't like to cry. Today is a special case."
"Okay, okay, you're right, but I still hope you can be happy every day when you're with me."
