“It’s sweet.” Lu Zhanke said seriously.
He didn’t seem to be lying, so Ai Changhuan didn’t doubt it either. She put down the knife and took a big bite of the peach. When the peach juice filled her mouth, Ai Changhuan’s face twisted sharply, and her expression changed.
“Woohoo !!!” Ai Changhuan sobbed and immediately jumped up from her seat. After finding the trash can, she couldn’t wait to spit out the peach.
She grabbed the bottle of water and rinsed her mouth several times before stopping. That peach was really sour. She felt that her teeth were as soft as marshmallows because of it, and those molar teeth were going to be eroded.
“You…….” She pointed at Lu Zhanke and wanted to complain, only to be choked by the sour taste in her mouth, coughing nonstop.
Seeing her in such discomfiture, Lu Zhanke immediately laughed, schadenfreude on his face.
Ai Changhuan stomped with anger, “You liar!”
The peach was clearly sour, but he still said it was sweet, which caused her to take such a big bite, almost rendering her half-dead.
“Oh … I didn’t lie to you. Maybe …only a small piece of it tastes sweet, while a large bite feels sour.” Lu Zhanke even seriously analyzed it, but this analysis was just like sophistry in every respect.
Ai Changhuan was speechless. He did it deliberately to make fool of her. She would ignore him for good.
Standing silently at a corner, Ai Changhuan swore that if Lu Zhanke didn’t apologize, she would really ignore him forever.
Seeing that Ai Changhuan was angry, Lu Zhanke was a little regretful. He couldn’t help but want to tease her when he noticed her in low spirit.
“Changhuan …” Lu Zhanke compromised first.
Ai Changhuan turned her back to him, motionless, determined not to forgive him!
“Changhuan… I’m thirsty…” Lu Zhanke said in a poor voice, trying to attract Ai’s attention.
Ai Changhuan was not fooled. She knew that Lu Zhanke’s body had got much better, and it was easy for him to drink water on his own.
Finding that Ai Changhuan had no intention to respond, Lu Zhanke was anxious, racking his brain about how to coax her.
It was really awkward. He had little experience of coaxing girls, and he didn’t know what to say after pranks to ease the atmosphere.
“Changhuan… I …” He intended to apologize, but he couldn’t say it after all.
As a result, there was no communication between the two until bedtime.
One was lying on the bed and thinking what to do, the other was lying facing the wall and wondering why he didn’t apologize. “Doesn’t he know that he did something wrong?”
After dinner, Lu Zhanke prepared to brush his teeth and to sleep.
Because it was a special ward, there was a private toilet and bathroom here.
Lu Zhanke was awkward in action. Ai Changhuan helped him to the bathroom. She squeezed toothpaste and prepared the water so that Lu didn’t have to bend down.
Lu Zhanke’s left hand rested on Ai Changhuan’s shoulder. He stood firmly by her strength, and brushed his teeth with his right hand with absence of mind. He had been secretly peeping at Ai Changhuan from the mirror, but Ai Changhuan hummed every time she met his gaze, and then quickly turned her head.
Lu Zhanke was anxious, and he didn’t want to express it, however, his brushing motion was obviously slower than usual.
Most of his strength settled on Ai Changhuan, so if he stood a little longer, Ai Changhuan’s legs would become sore. Seeing that Lu Zhanke brushed teeth for a long time, Ai Changhuan could not help but urge him, “Are you done? ”
“Okay.” Lu Zhanke hurriedly said, then waited for Ai Changhuan to wash his face. Because he would hurt his chest when he raised his hand, Ai Changhuan helped him every time.
Ai Changhuan twisted the towel, tiptoed and wiped Lu Zhanke’s face.
Lu Zhanke lowered his eyes, looking at Ai Changhuan who was trying to help him wash face. He stared, but suddenly laughed out, “Changhuan … Can we always be like this?
Ai Changhuan rolled her eyes, wondering what the meaning of “this” was. He wanted to deceive her to eat sour peaches again?
Receiving no answer, Lu Zhanke sighed, and raised his right hand gently, helping Ai Changhuan to tidy hair besides her ears. Then he said, “When we are all old, can we help each other like this? I help you scratch, and you help me to wash my face. You call me Laotou (old man), I call your Laoban (old wife). We rely on each other, but I will still be good to you, just like when I was young, Okay?”
Ai Chang twisted the area on his waist, “Treat me like that now. Not to mention the future when you get old, who knows whether you will kick me out when seeing young beauties. But let’s say it clearly, only I can kick you, and you can’t kick me.”
Seeing that Ai Changhuan finally talked to him, Lu Zhanke was relieved, but said helplessly: “How dare I kick you, you are my queen, I can only …”
“Only what?”
“Nothing, anyway, you are the most beautiful and the best one in my heart all the time. No one can compare with you, and no one can replace you.” Lu Zhanke originally thought he was disdainful to say such sweet words, but facing Ai Changhuan, he said them involuntarily, and did not feel embarrassed at all. Perhaps it was because of love that he couldn’t help doing it.
“Remember to be tactful.” Ai Changhuan’s anger was finally halved when she heard these words. “But don’t think this matter has passed, you must apologize to me.”
Lu Zhanke froze, knowing that it was always hard for him to say sorry, unless he did something wrong indeed. But tantalizing his own wife? Was this also called the wrong thing?
“Um … I’m too tired to stand …” Lu Zhanke moved and said that he wanted to lie on the bed. To prove that what he said was true, he also frowned from time to time.
So, Ai Changhuan believed it again stupidly, hurriedly helped him lie back on the bed, and asked with a worried expression, “How’s your feeling? Does the wound hurt? Do you need to call a doctor?”
“It’s okay,” said Lu Zhanke, who was lying on the bed, and immediately smiled. “Okay, it’s late, let’s sleep.”
He said so when he pulled the quilt.
Ai Changhuan finally responded, “You … you… Not to pretend! You haven’t apologized yet! Get up!”
“…” Lu Zhanke turned a deaf ear.
“Lu Zhanke!” Ai Chang was exasperated, and the creaking of the alveolar rattled.
Lu Zhanke was afraid that she was really angry, so he had to show up and said softly, “I love you.”
“…” Ai Changhuan froze. Fine, she admitted that this sentence was much more lethal than saying sorry, so she immediately scrambled there, her face turning red and white.
Lu Zhanke raised his eyebrows proudly, then closed his eyes and began to sleep.
This hooligan even knew how to be calculating, but she was tolerant, so she let him off this time.
Half a month later, Lu Zhanke was finally discharged from the hospital and returned to the army for another week of rest.
Both Pei Mu and Song Shizhang came to pick up Lu Zhanke from the hospital. Du Yucheng did not come because he had to train all recruits.
On the road, Pei Mu told them that in order to reward them for this action, the superior agreed to hold a celebration party at the same time on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
“It was a long time for us to have such a boisterous event,” Song Shizhang said with emotion, “I remember the last party was held three years ago. At that time, it was held with the art troupe. Oh, the ladies were so beautiful, even now every time I recall, I just couldn’t help drooling.”
Pei Mu laughed, “What are you drooling for, that’s someone else’s wife. If you really like, you should also find those who are not married. If the girl agrees, you can get married.”
Song Shizhang rubbed his hands, “I met a girl at that time, and that girl liked me very much at the beginning, but after a while, the problem arose. Those people in art troupe were full of literature and art, and I didn’t understand them at all. I just wanted to doze off when hearing her talk. Later, the girl thought that I was not well-educated and said that she couldn’t communicate with me, and we broke up. Do you think I did anything wrong?”
Pei Mu shook his head helplessly, “Told you earlier, learn some cultural knowledge. You can’t blame others if you can’t find a wife.”
Song Shizhang was very grieved, “If you let me read military strategies and tactics, I’m sure to read. I don’t get bored when I read them day and night, but I don’t want to read any romantic stories. I think marriage is ‘you fancy me and I fancy you’. And they get the marriage certificate when they love each other. As for those romantic surprises, they are all farts. I’m so busy all day long, how can I have time to do those things? ”
Pei Mu was speechless. “Old Song, pay attention, don’t you see Changhuan is still here?”
Song Shizhang turned to Ai Changhuan, who was sitting on the back seat, beckoned, and said with a smile, “Sorry for that, I am just always speaking like this way, which may make you laugh.”
Ai Changhuan quickly answered, “Nothing,nothing. Brother Song is straightforward, I think it’s fine.”
She also praised him, but actually it was just for being polite.
But Song Shizhang took it seriously, his eyes lit up and he said, “Hey, Changhuan, do you have any friend who has not married yet? How about introducing her to me?”
Ai Changhuan didn’t expect him to let her introduce someone to him so straightforwardly, but it was a bit embarrassing for a while, “This … I will pay attention, as soon as there is a suitable one, I will introduce to you. Just wait. “
Song Shizhang did not sense Ai Changhuan’s embarrassment, and went on, “What are you waiting for? I just got an ideal one. The friend you brought last time is very nice. I think she seems to be interested in me. I would like to thank you if you can help.”
As soon as Song Shizhang’s words were spoken, Ai Changhuan didn’t know how to keep smiling. She really wanted to ask, “How come you see that Ji Xingfan was also very interested in you? She even didn’t mention it once! Introduce you to her will end the friendship between me and her!”
But this cannot be said directly. Ai Changhuan could only shirk, “She … she told me that she didn’t want to get married so early, at least after 35 years old.”
“Thirty-five years old?” Song Shizhang goggled. “No, no, no. That’s too late. Can a girl get married so old?”
