Chapter 13

Although Lu Xiao can cook, a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Helplessly, he ran back to the army and got a bowl of rice to eat.

The main reason for not eating in the army was that I was afraid of losing face. When I was queuing up for food, I was asked by the political commissar why I didn’t eat in the cafeteria.

He could only lie and say that he hit Su Ya.

After returning home, Lu Xiao finished his meal, sat on a chair in the living room, and fell into deep thought.

After spending the past few days together, Lu Xiao discovered many shining points in Su Ya. Not only did he not have any resistance to Su Ya, he also wanted to live a good life with her.

However, the conflicts and grudges left over from their past marriage seriously hindered the development of their relationship.

Since I indeed did not fulfill my responsibilities as a husband before, I will make up for it now.

After Lu Xiao made up his mind, he moved all his clothes from the room on the left to the room where Su Ya was. However, at the door, Lu Xiao hesitated.

His heart seemed to be weighed down by a heavy stone, full of guilt and regret. Recalling the day of his wedding, with red candles flickering and wedding signs hanging high, he went to another place without hesitation to participate in the mission on that night full of joy and expectation.

Actually, it is not necessary to participate in that mission at that time.

Lu Xiao took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and opened it without waiting for Su Ya to respond.

When Su Ya, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, saw Lu Xiao appear at the door with a bunch of things in his arms, she was so surprised that she didn’t know what to say.

What did he mean by this? Was he going to move in and live in the same room with her?

To Su Ya, who traveled through time and space in a book, Lu Xiao was just a husband in name only, who was only slightly more familiar than a stranger.

She had never included Lu Xiao in her future plans, and it was even more impossible for her to imagine sharing a room with him.

All this happened too suddenly.

Lu Xiao didn’t care about Su Ya’s complicated expression. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to get closer to Su Ya as soon as possible.

Su Ya watched as Lu Xiao ignored her jaw-dropping look, walked straight to the window, and began to spread his bedding on the bed as if nothing had happened.

They didn’t lay the beds separately, but first he lifted up Suya’s mattress, put his mattress underneath, and then put Suya’s mattress on top again.

“Two layers of cushion, softer.”

Suya: I didn’t ask…

Su Ya widened her eyes, somewhat speechless.

Her heart was instantly filled with tension and resistance.

“I…are we familiar with each other…?”

Su Ya unconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes, and her knuckles turned white because she squeezed too hard.

While making the bed, Lu Xiao observed Su Ya’s reaction with his peripheral vision. He saw Su Ya’s nervousness and anxiety, as well as some resistance, and felt hurt.

However, he did not intend to back down this time. He stopped what he was doing, sat next to Su Ya, and said to her with a very serious look:

“We are husband and wife.”

Su Ya didn’t say anything. It seemed that he was determined to sleep with her.

Judging from Lu Xiao’s current attitude, even if she moved to the bedroom opposite, he would probably chase her.

Forget it, let’s just make do with it for one night. It seems that he doesn’t plan to do anything to me. He just wants to ease the relationship.

Su Ya was the first to lie down on the side against the wall. After Lu Xiao turned off the lights, he lay down on the outside of the bed.

When Su Ya felt Lu Xiao lying next to her, her heartbeat accelerated, and it was particularly clear in this quiet night.

She remembered that there seemed to be no plot about the two of them sleeping together in the original novel? How did the plot develop into this?

I plan to rely on my work experience in my previous life to work hard to solve the case here and help my original self to turn his life around.

Now, Lu Xiao plans to live a good life with her, so she really can’t avoid living under the same roof with Lu Xiao. What should she do?

But…if she really lives a good life with Lu Xiao, it doesn’t seem like she will suffer much, right?

Although Lu Xiao’s family was relatively poor, he was very capable. He was only 24 years old, but he was already a battalion commander.

The future is promising.

If I give birth to a son who looks like him in the future…he would probably be very cute, right?

No, no, what am I thinking?!

As Su Ya was thinking, she felt something was wrong.

Lu Xiao was lying next to her, also unable to sleep. He felt Su Ya’s reluctance beside him, and his heart felt like it was being pricked by countless needles.

He tossed and turned, his thoughts in a mess. Finally, in the long silence, he couldn’t help but speak:

“Suya, let’s live a good life, shall we?”

His voice was low and full of guilt.

Su Ya’s body trembled slightly. She didn’t expect Lu Xiao to speak suddenly.

Just when she didn’t know how to reply, Lu Xiao’s voice rang out again.

“I know you’ve suffered a lot because of my indifference before. But I hope that from now on, we can run a warm home together.”

Su Ya felt a ripple in her heart when she heard Lu Xiao’s sincere words. But when she thought about the grievances she had suffered in the past two years, she couldn’t help but retort.

“How can a proper couple spend their own money?”

Based on her original body’s memory, Su Ya knew that Lu Xiao had never handed in his salary.

Lu Xiao agreed to get married purely because his superior had introduced him to the marriage. Since he was an orphan and grew up eating at many families’ houses, he had no one to help him arrange a marriage, and he kept dragging it on until he was 24.

Since there was a girl willing to marry him, he did not refuse. At the beginning, he was afraid that the girl would regret it, so he wanted to reduce the opportunities for the two of them to spend time together as much as possible.

In case she changes her mind, people around her can help prove her innocence.

But later, unexpectedly, Su Ya became more and more excited. It was the first time for him to experience such a thing. He didn’t know what to do and could only continue to escape.

Su Ya is not her original self. No matter whether the two of them will live a good life in the future, at least they live together now, and some necessary expenses are inevitable.

She was not willing to use her own money to support Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao thought that Su Ya meant that if they wanted to become a real couple, they had to spend their family’s money together.

She is pointing at herself.

Su Ya suddenly felt the bed beside her become lighter, and then the light came on.

Afterwards, she saw Lu Xiao take something out of the bag he had just brought, then rummaged through the inside pocket of his military coat, returned to the bed, and handed the things he had taken out to Su Ya.

“This is all the money I have. The salary and bonuses I’ve received since I joined the army at the age of 18 are all in this passbook. Excluding living expenses and the 300 yuan dowry for you, there is 3,500 yuan in the passbook.

These are various bills, food coupons, cloth coupons, industrial coupons and the like.”
