Chapter 65

“Listening to the rain and eating milk candies made Shi Tingyu feel sweet inside, but soon she couldn’t be happy anymore.

Well, just a moment ago it was fine, but now the movie is about to start. Not everyone in front brought a stool, so some people stood up, causing those behind to stand up too. Shi Tingyu realized that being short, she couldn’t see anymore.

She stood up and tried to look through the gaps between people, but even there, it was useless because there were people in front of the gaps too.

Lu Weiguo looked behind him and saw there were no children, so he turned around, lifted her onto his shoulder.

The sudden increase in altitude made Shi Tingyu instinctively reach out and hook Lu Weiguo’s neck.

She glanced around and thought, oh no, the social anxiety feeling is back.

She whispered, ‘Weiguo, am I too high like this? People behind might not be able to see.’

Lu Weiguo looked back, except for a few men smiling at him, there was nothing else.

Lu Weiguo compromised and lowered her down, then let her sit on his forearm, like holding a child.

This way, Shi Tingyu felt her height decrease and she didn’t attract as much attention.

But this wasn’t a permanent solution.

She asked, ‘This movie will last a long time. Your arm might not hold up.’

Lu Weiguo jostled her, ‘Your weight isn’t heavier than my backpack.’

Shi Tingyu: …

Who is he looking down on? She weighs ninety kilogram.

Not far away, Lu Wenchan watched the woman held in a man’s palm with a hint of envy in her heart.

Although the man Shi Tingyu found looked fierce, he was really good to her.

Looking at herself, empty beside her, she couldn’t help but sigh.

When could she find a man who would treasure her like a jewel? She didn’t expect the person to be as good to her as Lu Weiguo was to Shi Tingyu, but at least as good as her brother to his wife.

Looking at her big brother, now there was no sister in his eyes. He only cared about his sister-in-law and nephew.

This movie was “Battle on the Plains,” a classic action film. The black and white film texture was very novel to Shi Tingyu.

She was absorbed in watching for a moment, almost forgetting she was being carried by Lu Weiguo.

Just as she was immersed in the plot, she heard a child crying beside her.

‘Wahhh…! Dad, I can’t see either, I want to be carried too, I want to be carried.’

Shi Tingyu turned her head and saw a boy of about six or seven years old tugging at a man’s pants beside him, tears and snot streaming.

The man glanced at the child, trying to reason with him, ‘You’re so grown up, why do you still want Dad to carry you? Dad won’t be able to carry you soon.’

The boy looked like he didn’t believe it, pointing at Shi Tingyu nearby, ‘Then why can this adult still be carried by her dad?’

When Lu Weiguo heard the words “her dad,” he almost loosened his grip and dropped his wife.

He turned to look at the little brat with a fierce look.

The boy’s father immediately covered the child’s mouth when he saw this, smiling awkwardly, Captain Lu, children speak without thinking, they don’t know what’s appropriate.’

Lu Weiguo: …

So you think your son’s words are right, huh? Is this just an impolite statement? This is clearly slander and defamation!

Does he look that old?!

Shi Tingyu looked at the man’s slightly angry expression and turned her head to the little brat, ‘Hey, kid, this uncle is like auntie’s husband, just like your dad and mom.’

The little boy was frightened by Lu Weiguo’s fierce face and dared not speak anymore. He nodded repeatedly at Shi Tingyu’s words, ‘I know I was wrong, Auntie!’

‘Good boy.’ Shi Tingyu looked like she couldn’t be more pleased with his repentance.

After this incident, the little boy dared not ask his father to carry him anymore.

Seeing that his child still looked a little scared, the father finally lifted him up, and the little boy rode high on his father’s shoulders all at once.”

“He looked excited and thrilled, glancing in Shi Tingyu’s direction with a gleam in his eyes that seemed to say, ‘See, I have someone too.’

Shi Tingyu smiled back at him and said, ‘Kid, if you need to go to the bathroom, you must tell your dad. You can’t pee on his neck.’

At this remark, the little boy’s face immediately fell, shouting back at Shi Tingyu, ‘I won’t do that! I’m already seven!’

Lu Weiguo watched his wife and the little boy banter with a helpless expression.

Seeing his expression, Shi Tingyu said somewhat unwillingly, ‘I’m just teasing you.’

She even held up his face and looked at it, ‘Clearly handsome, not at all like my dad.’

Lu Weiguo looked up at the sky, thinking there was no need to say aloud that he wasn’t like her dad.

Shi Tingyu could tell from his expression that he was resigned to it, and she smiled, saying, ‘I’m just joking with you. You’re fine this way, and besides, bigger men are more caring.’

Lu Weiguo lifted Shi Tingyu’s hand and gently jostled her up, ‘Hmm, caring for you.’

Lu Wenchan witnessed this scene with a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes, thinking, ‘Marrying a man like this only brings disgrace.’

However, her amusement didn’t last two seconds before it was interrupted by the couple diagonally ahead.

In her peripheral vision, Captain Yang was chatting and laughing with a comrade with a beautiful face. She even saw Captain Yang peeling melon seeds for her.

Since when did the family compound have such a woman?

She reached out and pulled the brother in front who was holding the child.

Lu Wenbin frowned, ‘What’s wrong?’

Lu Wenchan pointed in Captain Yang’s direction and asked, ‘Brother, do you know that comrade?’

Following her direction, Lu Wenbin saw the woman in military uniform.

They didn’t have female soldiers here; those in uniforms were either proper military doctors or part of the cultural troupe.

They generally knew the military doctors, but this woman was unfamiliar.

Thinking about the recent visit from the cultural troupe preparing for the August 1st performance, they guessed her identity.

“The cultural troupe came yesterday, so she must be from there.”

Hearing that it was someone from the cultural troupe, Lu Wenchan felt jealous and angry.

She said, ‘What’s so good about the cultural troupe? What’s wrong with Captain Yang? He’s already moving on so quickly!’

Lu Wenbin sternly scolded, ‘Lu Wenchan! What nonsense are you talking about?’

Lu Wenchan was startled by her brother’s reaction and stuttered, ‘I, I didn’t say anything wrong…’

“Nothing wrong?” Lu Wenbin almost laughed out of anger, “How do you not know about your relationship with Captain Yang? Even though I introduced you two, you barely exchanged a glance, just saw each other at the full moon banquet. He hasn’t promised you anything, why are you acting like this?”

Lu Wenchan bit her lip, eyes slightly red, “But you said you would introduce us back then.”

Su Qiuyue couldn’t stand it anymore and came over to Lu Wenchan, asking, “So how did you behave back then? During the full moon banquet, you took the Qiao specially, making guests wait. Can you blame others for having a bad impression of you?”

Lu Wenchan blushed, unable to respond.

Su Qiuyue continued, “If you continue to make a scene now and I don’t stop it, you’ll end up losing. A woman’s reputation is so important. If you want everyone in the family compound to know that Captain Yang chose someone else over you, then keep making a scene here.”
