Lu Zhanke had no choice but to compromise. “Okay, okay. Don’t move. I’ll change it myself.”
Taking the clothes into the locker room, he seriously wondered whether the couple’s mobile phone chain had excited Ai Changhuan too much, causing her to buy everything that matched.
When he unfolded the black T-shirt, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
The front of the T-shirt had a drawing of a bowl of rice which read: Only washing dishes, no eating.
The back of the T-shirt said: I feel like my wife is Mengmengda! (Note: super adorable)
Why would someone buy this odd T-shirt?
Reluctantly, Lu Zhanke changed his clothes. Then, he came out, instantly trying to cover himself. Ai Changhuan had changed faster than him and was already waiting outside.
He saw that Ai Changhuan’s T-shirt also had a drawing of a bowl of rice in front, but it said: Only eating, no washing the dishes.
She glanced at him, and then she was a little embarrassed. “This is my first time wearing a couple’s T-shirt, and it feels like I’m looking in the mirror.”
Alas, Lu Zhanke, who had been very gloomy, was inadvertently pleased by her words, and he no longer kept a straight face. He grabbed her shoulder, asking, “You like it? Are you happy?”
Ai Changhuan nodded. “I like it very much.”
“Come on. Let me see what you have on your back.” Lu Zhanke pulled Ai Changhuan closer and saw the words on the back of her T-shirt: I am his wife.
I feel like my wife is Mengmengda, I am his wife.
It seemed to be a question and answer, but he was confused. “What does Mengmengda mean?”
“That’s how I am.” Ai Changhuan made a very cute expression and raised her hands above her head, bent into a heart shape. “This is so cute.”
Lu Zhanke seemed to understand it a little bit. He wondered why people these days didn’t speak normally. Must they speak this way to have personality? But he wouldn’t say these words. He didn’t want to look like he was old and out of date.
Taking a deep breath, he took Ai Changhuan back into his arms. “Can we go home now?”
Ai snapped her fingers. “Let’s go.”
In fact, she wanted to buy a couple bracelets and a couple necklaces. Unfortunately, as a soldier, Lu could not wear those ornaments, so she gave up.
However, those couple’s T-shirts were enough to challenge Lu. She saw his stiff smile, but she just liked to see when he was obviously reluctant but still had to do something. It was so cute.
When they returned home, they met Yang Anxin and Pei Mu. When the couple saw Lu and Ai, they paused for a while and then burst out laughing.
Lu Zhanke was embarrassed. He had expected this reaction. Before they came home, he had proposed to change their clothes, but his request was mercilessly rejected by Ai.
Ai Changhuan was very happy, and she kept asking Yang Anxin, “How is it? It’s pretty, right? Is it a good match?”
“It’s very…well-matched,” Yang replied, wiping tears from laughter. Then, she couldn’t help but start laughing again.
Pei Mu also laughed for a long time before he could barely hold back. Then, he patted Lu’s shoulder and said, “Well, yes, it’s nice. Very young, energetic, and creative.”
Although he said this, he immediately laughed, and the laugh was extremely exaggerated. Lu couldn’t help but be annoyed with him.
The sound of laughter startled Song Shizhang and Du Yucheng who had just passed by.
When Song Shizhang saw the excitement, he immediately came over and asked, “Lao Pei, what’s the matter? Did you find money on the ground?”
Pei couldn’t speak while laughing. Ignoring Lu’s completely stiff face, he pointed at Lu and laughed.
Song Shizhang turned around and immediately rejoiced. He walked in several circles around Lu. “Yeah, it’s quite trendy. Is this a couple’s outfit? You two are really fashionable. What does this say? One is ‘only eating, no washing the dishes,’ and the other is ‘only washing the dishes, no eating.’ It really is a natural match.”
Ai Chang smiled. “Is it? It looks good? Zhanke was disgusted with the clothes and refused to wear them.”
“No, no, it’s not ugly at all. It’s so beautiful that you two have to walk around the camp in these T-shirts. You two will definitely become the most beautiful scenery.” Song looked like he desired to see the world plunged into chaos.
Lu was originally dissatisfied with the clothes, but hearing Song Shizhang’s sneering tone, he immediately narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Do you have such clothes?”
“…” His words were as cruel and as sharp as a knife, and Song was immediately defeated. “You, you, don’t bully me. I will have one soon, um, soon.” Somehow, the sentence was extremely unconfident.
Pei also came out to help Song. “Lu, please don’t tease him.” Song was moved, but just as he was about to speak, Pei Mu said, “He is already pitiful enough. We should not bully a bachelor like this.”
So Song’s words of gratitude stiffened in his chest, and he almost vomited blood.
Yang Anxin said, “Seeing that you two have such a good relationship, I feel relieved. How about coming to my house for dinner later?”
“Oh no, Sister Anxin, Zhanke said he would cook because we also bought a couple’s apron.” Ai Changhuan took Lu Zhanke’s arm intimately, her face sweet and happy.
“…”
“…”
“…I have had enough of you.” Song Shizhang rubbed his arms. “I can’t take it anymore. You can continue to show affection. I will go first.”
Turning around to see Du Yucheng, he shouted at him, and they walked together.
Du’s eyes fell on Ai Changhuan’s arm in Lu Zhanke’s. He begrudgingly smiled, nodded, and walked away with Song.
Pei Mu and Yang Anxin also went home.
After walking for a while, Du Yucheng turned around and saw that Ai had jumped onto Lu’s back. Lu shook his head helplessly and went into their house with Ai.
Du Yucheng clenched his fist again and again. He had already seen that the relationship between Ai and Lu was completely different, and Ai was getting farther and farther away from him.
Lu Zhanke carried Ai Changhuan to the living room before putting her down. He felt helpless. “Ah, you just refused to walk these few steps.”
Ai took off her high heels and put on the slippers she usually wore at home. Then, she took a long sigh of relief and coquettishly said, “People’s legs get sore when they walk for so long in such high heels.”
Lu. “…Who does ‘they’ refer to?”
Ai Changhuan glared. “Lu Zhanke, do you want to die?”
Lu Zhanke immediately took a step back. “Now that’s more like your normal self. What you did before was really scary.”
Ai Changhuan glanced at him. “You are being showered with tender love without even knowing it. Go cook. I’m starving.”
Lu stepped forward and pulled her off the sofa. “Together.”
Ai refused to move from the sofa. “I’m so tired that I don’t want to cook.”
“It’s faster for two to work together.” Lu dragged Ai to the kitchen. She followed him, thought for a while, flicked Lu’s hand away, and ran out quickly. “Wait a minute, I will get something.”
“What?”
Ai Changhuan came back, holding a black and a red apron. “This red one is for you.”
The veins on Lu’s forehead popped again. They took a good bath after they ate. One leaned against the bedside reading documents, and the other lay on the bed browsing Weibo.
Ai Changhuan couldn’t help laughing when she looked at it. “It’s so funny. It’s really funny. Why is this person so funny?”
Lu turned to look at her. “What’s that?”
Ai turned over and lay down facing him. “Let me ask you, do you know what Bumingjueli is?”
“Bumingjueli? What is that? Is it an idiom?”
“Bumingjueli means that although you don’t understand something, it feels very great. Then do you know what it means to Renjianbuchai?”
“……I do not know.”
“Renjianbuchai means that life is already so difficult, so we don’t need to expose some things. Oh, Captain Lu, you are out of date, and you can’t keep up with the times. How can you chat?” Ai Changhuan said with disgust.
Lu Zhanke put the documents down, turned over, and lay down, staring at Ai Changhuan. “I know where the world’s most advanced and sophisticated weapons are researched. I know the latest combat methods. I know far more than you know. Is that considered outdated?”
“But I don’t want to talk about weapons and combat methods with you. You won’t have any friends, so you still have to go online more often to learn about the wonderful world of the Internet.” Ai put her phone away, ready to go to sleep. She yawned and said, “Otherwise you will not keep up with the times.”
Lu narrowed his eyes, rolled over, and pressed next to her. “Did the Internet say what couples should do after they get married?”
“…” Ai blinked and said innocently. “Oh, it is a harmonious society now. How could people say that on the Internet?”
Lu touched Ai’s face.
Ai Changhuan, shook a little, quickly pushed Lu away, and laughed. “Don’t touch it. It’s so itchy.”
“…” Lu had no choice but to look at her. “Can you concentrate a little?”
Ai closed her eyes and said a little embarrassedly, “Sorry, I… it seems there is no way…”
Lu seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, he sighed softly and tucked Ai’s hair around her ear. He said, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t force you. If you don’t want to, I won’t do that.”
“…I’m sorry…” Ai felt guilty. She also knew that this kind of thing happened naturally. Lu would treat her like this because he really liked her.
“It’s okay, don’t worry. Just let it happen.” Lu Zhanke patted her on the back gently, comforting her to fall asleep. “Sleep, sleep, there are still many things to do tomorrow.”
“Huh.” Ai Changhuan rested and fell asleep.
But she was obviously too naive. The next day, when she was still in her sweet dreams, she was forcibly dragged from the bed by Lu. “Ai Changhuan, get up.”
