Chapter 28: Quite Satisfied with Her Flirting Skills

Sun Congxing, of course, knew Zhou Changdong. They were from the same area and didn’t live too far apart. But Zhou Changdong had always been an object of his envy, jealousy, and hatred. From a young age, the Zhou family’s conditions were very good. Zhou Quansheng and Chen Aihong used to be dual-income earners. Zhou Quansheng’s salary was already quite high, and back then, Chen Aihong was an actress in a drama troupe. With a dual-income household, their conditions were, of course, excellent. Leaving aside Zhou Changping and Zhou Chang’an, Zhou Changdong and Sun Congxing were roughly the same age.

Not only did Zhou Changdong live a carefree and happy life in his early years, but even after he joined the army later, Zhou Changdong was very successful. How was he like himself, who ended up going to the countryside! They were both human, so why was the gap so huge?

So, when he returned to the city and effortlessly hooked up with Zhou Changdong’s wife, who was left alone at home, lonely and cold, Sun Congxing couldn’t have been more pleased with himself. He thought, no matter how impressive you are, Zhou Changdong, your wife is still mine!

But deep down, he was always a little scared, because damaging a military marriage was a crime! If Zhou Changdong came back, would he let him off? That guy was extremely brutal with his fists! Sun Congxing still vividly remembered being beaten by him before! Precisely because of this, he had been hesitant to make a move on Su Lüyun! But now, times had changed; Zhou Changdong had become a “vegetable,” and he had turned his life around!

“Yeah, sigh!” Zhao Yuzhu heard his words and couldn’t help but sigh.

“You and Yunyun are cousins, can you really let Yunyun be delayed by Zhou Changdong like this?” Sun Congxing questioned her.

Zhao Yuzhu had a helpless expression, “Of course I don’t want my cousin to be delayed like this, but now my cousin is angry. I just went to see her and told her that if she didn’t come, you wouldn’t leave. But she told me to tell you to wait if you want! I couldn’t help but wonder if she really doesn’t want to be with you anymore, or if she wants to test you, secretly coming out when no one’s looking to see if you’re really waiting for her in the same spot?” She had to admit, she really did suspect this; it was something Su Lüyun would have done in the past!

Sun Congxing immediately said, “I’ll wait right here, I’ll keep waiting until she comes!” He felt that Su Lüyun, nine times out of ten, just wanted to test him! He was perfectly clear about Su Lüyun’s affection for him!

“If my cousin sees your devotion, she’ll definitely be touched.” Zhao Yuzhu slapped her arm, killing a mosquito. She couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Although I don’t recommend you wait, if you want to wait, then wait here. I’m going back first.” After saying that, she didn’t linger and quickly scurried away. There were so many mosquitoes here!

Sun Congxing straightened his back and waited with a sorrowful expression! But there were really too many mosquitoes, and he had the blood type that attracted them; it was truly going to be the death of him. However, to show Su Lüyun his sincerity, he wouldn’t leave; he would wait right here! His eyes constantly looked in that direction, hoping Su Lüyun would come quickly.

Meanwhile, Su Lüyun, whom he was thinking about so intently, was at home boiling water for a bath. The “paper person” was just like her, someone who enjoyed life, and had even commissioned a custom-made large wooden tub. It was somewhat similar to those in ancient times, where a person could fully immerse themselves for a bath. Su Lüyun boiled a pot of water, first washed her hair, and then comfortably got into the large tub to soak.

Although she didn’t know why she had transmigrated into the book, her principle was to make the best of any situation. No matter what environment she was in, she had to make sure she lived well. This was key.

So, even though bathing was a bit wasteful of water and coal, she decided she would have one every three days!

After a comfortable bath, she returned to the room with a towel to be with Zhou Changdong. Sitting next to Zhou Changdong, she dried her hair while chatting with him about everyday things: “This large bathtub in our house cost me five yuan back then, I asked Qian Kaishan to make it, and it’s really good quality for the price.”

Qian Kaishan was Aunt Qian’s eldest son. He worked at a furniture factory and was incredibly skilled at carpentry. After work, he would use his free time to help neighbors build furniture for a fee. The prices were cheaper than buying outside, but it also supplemented his household income, killing two birds with one stone. Her large bathtub was made by him, taking a week to complete. It cost a total of five yuan, which wasn’t cheap, but definitely not expensive, especially since the quality was impeccable. It had been over two years, and there hadn’t been a single problem. Not only this large bathtub, but also the furniture in their house were later made by him. The quality in all aspects was outstanding.

“It’s good to have a skill, you don’t have to worry about food and drink,” Su Lüyun said while drying her hair, “Changdong, Mom used to be an actress in a drama troupe. What do you think if I learn drama from Mom?”

Ms. Chen Aihong was an excellent drama actress. Even though she had retired, she still went to guide new recruits from time to time. Acting in dramas was precisely her profession, wasn’t it?

Zhou Changdong, of course, couldn’t respond to his wife, but he hesitated about his wife wanting to be a drama actress: [Wife, being a drama actress will be very tiring.] He supported whatever his wife wanted to do, but his mother used to be a drama actress, and she was particularly busy and tired. Zhou Changdong still remembered how, as a child, his mother would come home and immediately go to sleep without even having time to say anything to them. When he got better, he would earn money for his wife to spend, so she wouldn’t have to work so hard.

Su Lüyun understood his meaning. But she had acted in dramas before. No matter how tiring being a drama actress was, could it be more tiring than being a full-time housewife at home? Although she was a good cook, she wasn’t naturally suited to be a housewife. She could cook for him and humor him for now, but she definitely couldn’t do it for long; she would suffocate. So, when he woke up, if they truly got along, she would definitely find something to do herself. Being a drama actress was a perfect fit for her profession.

As for Zhou Changdong’s opinion, it actually wasn’t important. When she told him, it was more of an announcement than a discussion. However, the man’s intentions were very good, so Su Lüyun leaned closer, looking at his handsome lip shape: “After marrying you, we haven’t even consummated our marriage. I still don’t know what you taste like. You have to let me have a taste, right?”

Saying that, she lightly kissed him. Although Zhou Changdong was in a coma, his head was practically steaming: [Wife~] ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄

Su Lüyun’s eyes held a smile. If not for this golden finger, how would she have known this man was so innocent? He was truly endearing.

However, Zhou Changdong quickly started blaming himself again, [Wife, I’ve wronged you! Don’t worry, when I get better, I will definitely compensate you well!]

At this time, Su Lüyun, still unaware of the full extent of his intentions, read his words and felt self-satisfied, quite pleased with her flirting skills. When she experienced it later, she would truly wish she could buy a bottle of “regret medicine”!
