Chapter 28 – Quite Satisfied with Her Own Man-Flirting Skills

Sun Congxing certainly knew Zhou Changdong. They were from the same area and didn’t live far from each other.

But Zhou Changdong had always been someone he envied, resented, and begrudgingly admired.

Since childhood, the Zhou family’s conditions had been excellent.

Zhou Quansheng and Chen Aihong had both been employed in good positions. Zhou Quansheng’s salary had always been decent, and at that time, Chen Aihong was also an actress in a drama troupe.

A dual-income family naturally lived comfortably without question.

Setting aside Zhou Changping and Zhou Changan for the moment, Zhou Changdong was about the same age as Sun Congxing.

Even if one didn’t mention that Zhou Changdong had a carefree and happy childhood, just the fact that he later joined the army and achieved great success was enough.

Unlike himself—he had even been sent to the countryside in the end!

They were both people—why was the gap between them so huge?

So when he returned to the city and effortlessly managed to seduce Zhou Changdong’s lonely, left-behind wife at home, Sun Congxing couldn’t be prouder.

He thought to himself: No matter how amazing you are, Zhou Changdong, your wife is still someone I hold in the palm of my hand!

But deep down, there was always some fear. After all, destroying a military marriage was a crime!

If Zhou Changdong came back, would he let him off easily? That guy was brutal when he struck!

Sun Congxing still vividly remembered being beaten up by him in the past!

That was precisely why he had never dared to make a move on Su Luyun for so long!

But times had changed. Zhou Changdong had become a vegetative state patient. Now he could finally sing the song of the liberated serf!

“Yes, sigh!” Zhao Yuzhu let out a sigh after hearing him speak.

“You and Yun Yun are cousins—are you really going to let Yun Yun be wasted like this by Zhou Changdong?” Sun Congxing said to her.

Zhao Yuzhu showed a helpless expression. “Of course I don’t want my cousin to be held back like this, but now she’s angry. I just went to see her and told her that you said you wouldn’t leave unless she came. In the end, she told me to tell you—if you want to wait, then go ahead and wait! I couldn’t help but wonder, does she really not want to be with you anymore, or is she trying to test you? Maybe she’s secretly watching to see if you’ll really stay in place and wait for her?”

And honestly, she really suspected that. It was exactly the kind of thing Su Luyun would do in the past!

Sun Congxing immediately said: “I’ll wait right here. I’ll wait until she comes!”

He was certain Su Luyun was testing him!

He knew all too well how much Su Luyun liked him!

“If my cousin sees how sincere you are, she’ll definitely be moved.” Zhao Yuzhu slapped her arm and killed a mosquito. She couldn’t stand much longer and said: “Though I don’t recommend that you wait, if you insist, then go ahead. I’m heading back.”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t linger and left quickly—there were way too many mosquitoes around here!

Sun Congxing straightened his back and waited with a sorrowful expression!

But the mosquitoes were truly overwhelming. He had the kind of blood type that attracted them—it was driving him mad.

Still, in order to show Su Luyun his sincerity, he refused to leave. He was determined to wait right there!

His eyes kept glancing toward that direction, hoping Su Luyun would appear soon.

But the Su Luyun he was thinking of so longingly was at home at the moment, boiling water to take a bath.

The Original Owner, just like her, knew how to enjoy life, and had even commissioned a large wooden tub to be custom-made.

It was somewhat like the old-fashioned kind of tub, the kind big enough for a person to fully soak in. After boiling a pot of water, Su Luyun first washed her hair, then comfortably slipped into the large wooden tub for a proper bath.

Although she didn’t know why she had transmigrated into a book, her principle was simple: Since I’m here, I might as well settle in. No matter the environment, she was going to live well.

That was the most important thing.

So, even though taking baths like this used up a lot of water and coal, she had made up her mind—she would soak in one every three days!

After enjoying a nice, relaxing bath, she grabbed a towel and returned to the room to accompany Zhou Changdong.

She sat beside Zhou Changdong, drying her hair while chatting casually with him: “This big bathtub of ours cost me five yuan back then. I had Qian Kaishan custom-make it. Such great value for money.”

Qian Kaishan was Aunt Qian’s eldest son.

He worked at the local furniture factory and was excellent at carpentry.

After work, he would use his spare time to help the neighbors build furniture for a fee. His prices were cheaper than those in stores and it also helped supplement his family’s income—a win-win situation.

This large wooden tub of hers was made by him. It had taken about a week to finish.

It cost five yuan in total—not exactly cheap, but definitely not expensive either. Especially considering the quality—it had been over two years, and there hadn’t been a single issue with it.

Not just the bathtub; most of the furniture in the house was also custom-made by him.

The quality was excellent across the board.

“It’s good to have a skill.” Su Luyun said while drying her hair. “Then you never have to worry about food or clothing. Changdong, your mom used to be an actress at the drama theater. What do you think about me learning drama performance from her?”

Madam Chen Aihong had been a very accomplished stage actress. Even now, though she had retired, she would still occasionally go back to coach the newcomers.

Stage acting was, after all, her original profession.

Zhou Changdong naturally couldn’t respond to his wife, but he did feel a little hesitant about her idea of becoming a stage actress:

【Wife, being a stage actress is exhausting.】

He would support his wife no matter what she wanted to do. But his mother had once been a drama actress, and it had been a very demanding job. He still remembered how, when he was little, his mom would come home with no time to talk before going straight to bed.

Once he recovered, he planned to earn money for her to spend—so she wouldn’t have to work so hard.

Su Luyun sensed what he meant.

But she had acted in stage plays before. No matter how tiring it was, could it really be worse than being a full-time housewife?

Sure, she had excellent cooking skills, but she was never the type to stay at home all day.

For now, taking care of him and cooking meals was manageable. But over time, it would definitely drive her mad.

So, when he woke up, if they did get along, she was absolutely going to find something to do for herself.

And being a stage actress was perfectly aligned with her training.

As for Zhou Changdong’s opinion—truthfully, it didn’t matter much.

She was only telling him to keep him informed, not to get his permission.

Still, she appreciated his concern, and that warmed her heart. So Su Luyun leaned in close, gazing at his well-shaped lips. “We’ve been married and haven’t even had a proper wedding night. I don’t even know what you taste like. Don’t you think I deserve a sample?”

As she said this, she gave him a light kiss, barely a brush of her lips.

Even though Zhou Changdong was in a coma, his head practically started steaming,

【Wife~】?(? ???ω??? ?)?

There was laughter in Su Luyun’s eyes.

If it weren’t for this “cheat ability.” how would she have ever known this man was so innocent?

He really was very likable.

But soon, Zhou Changdong began to blame himself again,

【Wife, I’ve wronged you! Don’t worry—when I recover, I’ll definitely make it up to you properly!】

Still unaware of just how intense this man could be, Su Luyun saw his words and grew even more self-satisfied—quite pleased with her own man-flirting skills.

She had no idea… once she truly experienced what was coming later, she’d be wishing she could buy herself a bottle of regret pills.
