Chapter 6 I am Lu Shishen’s lover

Yang Niannian turned to go back to the room, suddenly making eye contact with a woman coming out of the room next door.

Thinking that they would be neighbors in the future, she smiled at the woman as a greeting. The woman was stunned, she looked Yang Niannian up and down and asked uncertainly, “You are…?” Yang Niannian blinked, “I’m Lu Shi’s wife.” “You’re Commander Lu’s wife?” The woman opened her mouth in surprise, her voice as loud as a loudspeaker, “Oh my, I didn’t hear that Commander Lu’s wife was coming to join the army. Aren’t you in college?” Uh… everyone in the family compound knew that Commander Lu’s wife was a college student? Yang Niannian was about to find an excuse to get out of it, when people from other rooms heard the commotion and also poked their heads out to watch the excitement, “You’re Commander Lu’s wife?” Yang Niannian simply nodded shyly, “I, I just arrived. You guys chat, I’ll go back to my room.” Yang Niannian went back to her room, but the discussion outside didn’t stop.

“She looks like she’s only eighteen or nineteen, she still has baby fat on her face. How did Commander Lu find such a young wife?” “She’s still in college, how could she not be young? She’s really pretty. No wonder Commander Lu fell for her.” “Someone is going to be heartbroken this time!” Someone is going to be heartbroken? It seemed like someone had a crush on Lu Shi. Well, a man so young, successful, and handsome, it would be strange if no one had a crush on him.

The sun set in the west, and Yang Niannian was hungry. Her stomach was rumbling. Afraid of running into the other wives and being questioned, she didn’t dare to go out. Just as she was wondering when Lu Shi would be back, there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door and saw Lu Shi standing at the door, bathed in the evening light. He was carrying two aluminum lunch boxes. Lu Shi walked past Yang Niannian and entered the room. He placed the lunch boxes on the table and casually opened them. “Dinner.” Her stomach had been rumbling for a while, and Yang Niannian was indeed hungry. She went over and sat down, noticing that there were actually two pieces of braised pork in the lunch box. Her eyes lit up.

“Your army has good benefits; you even have braised pork to eat.” In this era of scarce resources, a whole family relied on a few acres of land to make a living. It was good enough to have enough to eat. They didn’t see meat except for the New Year.

Moreover, their family was supporting a college student. They usually ate coarse grain noodles and sweet potatoes, there was no oil or water in their stomachs. Seeing meat, the original body’s body was craving it. Lu Shi was just about to pick up his chopsticks to eat when he saw her bright eyes. He picked up the two pieces of braised pork from his lunch box and put them on her plate, then he lowered his head and started eating. Yang Niannian’s heart warmed.

She thought Lu Shi was pretty good. She felt a little smug and put a piece of braised pork back on his plate, “You eat one too.” Lu Shi paused slightly in his eating, then continued eating as if nothing had happened. Following the principle of not wasting food, Yang Niannian ate all the rice in the lunch box.

The original body was lucky to have porridge to drink at home. She had never had a meal like this with rice. She rubbed her mouth contentedly and looked at Lu Shi seriously, “I’ve thought it through. I’m willing to stay and live with you. Just don’t mind that I’m not a college student.” Lu Shi nodded expressionlessly, “Hmm,” his voice was flat.

“Stay here for tonight, I’ll apply for a bigger room tomorrow. The bathroom and toilet are downstairs. I have something to do, I’ll be back late. If you’re sleepy, go to sleep first.” Yang Niannian wanted to say that the room was big enough for two people, but before she could speak, Lu Shi had already gone out with the aluminum lunch box. She closed the door, stood at the door for a while, then pushed open the door to the inner room.

The inner room had only a bed and a large wooden chest. The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, the sheets were wrinkle-free, and the chest was tightly closed. The floor was clean and spotless. It was obvious that he was a very hygienic person. Yang Niannian put her bag on top of the wooden chest. She only brought a set of clothes to change, which was bought by Yang Huiying and was too small for her, so the original body didn’t dare to wear it at home. The bathroom and toilet for the whole building were on the first floor.

The toilet was a row of eight squat toilets with nothing to block them, there was no privacy at all. Fortunately, no one was using the toilet at the moment. The bathroom was also shared, about eight square meters. There was a row of faucets on the wall, it was like entering a large bathhouse in the north. Although the conditions were simple, in this era, it was already quite good for most people. After all, rural households didn’t have bathrooms. Women had to use a large basin to wash in the house, while men simply went to the river to bathe.

It wasn’t dark yet, the wives in the family compound were all busy cooking. Yang Niannian quickly took advantage of the fact that no one was in the bathroom to wash up. After a day of running around, she was covered in sweat. Taking a shower made her feel much fresher. She also washed her clothes and went back to the room to rest. She was indeed tired after a day of traveling. She lay down and fell asleep soon after. She woke up in a daze.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a dark figure standing by the bed. Yang Niannian was startled and sat up with a jolt. “Don’t be afraid, it’s me. I saw you were asleep, so I didn’t turn on the light.” The dark figure by the bed suddenly spoke.

Recognizing Lu Shi’s voice, Yang Niannian breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly remembered that she was in the army and lying in Lu Shi’s bed. She rubbed her eyes, her voice still drowsy, “What time is it?” “Ten o’clock.” Lu Shi sat down by the bed, his back to Yang Niannian as he took off his shoes. It was too dark to see clearly, but she could make out that he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. His broad back was like a mud wall, exuding an invisible sense of oppression. Thinking about what was going to happen next, Yang Niannian felt a little nervous.

All sorts of chaotic images flashed through her mind. She hesitated about whether to give in to Lu Shi. They were officially married now, after all. But after Lu Shi lay down, he only said, “Go to sleep,” and then there was no movement. Lu Shi slept straight and stiff, his body didn’t touch her at all. He didn’t seem to have any intention of touching her. Yang Niannian breathed a sigh of relief, but she also secretly scolded herself for having impure thoughts. In two lifetimes, this was the first time Yang Niannian had slept in the same bed with a man.

She thought she would be sleepless, but she fell asleep soon after. She slept soundly all night. When she got up the next morning, Lu Shi had already gone to the army. On the table outside were two aluminum lunch boxes and a note.

The note only had two words on it: Breakfast. Yang Niannian felt a little smug. This man seemed taciturn and expressionless, like a statue, but he was quite thoughtful in his actions. Yang Niannian had just finished eating when Li Fengyi arrived, as if he had timed it perfectly. He saw Yang Niannian and chuckled before he even spoke. “Sister-in-law, the Commander asked me to help you move.”
