Compared to Xu Rongrong who was embarrassed, Zhan Yiyang was much more generous.
He walked straight down the stairs with an expressionless face, and also grabbed Xu Rongrong, who was feeling shy on the steps.
"I'll take Rongrong to wash hands." Zhan Yiyang said this and took Xu Rongrong to the bathroom.
While Xu Rongrong tried to break away from Zhan Yiyang's big hand, he smiled sheepishly at the speechless people at the dinner table.
Zhan Yiyang didn't care so much, he carried Xu Rongrong directly to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and carefully washed Xu Rongrong's fingers.
Although Zhan Yiyang is a soldier, he usually does things informally. But in the process of washing Xu Rongrong's hands, he looked attentive and moved gently. While testing the temperature of the water, he carefully scrubbed Xu Rongrong's fingers, even the gaps between his fingers.
Didn't let it go.
"Yiyang, you..." Xu Rongrong was embarrassed again.
Zhan Yiyang doted on her in the past, but he was not so considerate as to even wash her hands, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.
"Yiyang, why do you remember washing your hands for me? You have never washed your hands for me before." Xu Rongrong tilted his head and looked at Zhan Yiyang.
"Before? Wife, do you remember that we went there?" Zhan Yiyang paused with his hands, raised his head and looked at Xu Rongrong in disbelief, his eyes filled with clear surprise.
"Uh..." Xu Rongrong twitched his lips slightly in embarrassment, "Yiyang, I, I don't remember much, I only vaguely remember part of it."
Remember part of it?
"It doesn't matter. It's good to just remember a part of it. Rongrong, I thought you had completely forgotten the past that belonged to us." Zhan Yiyang held Xu Rongrong's hand and smiled with some relief, "I have already done it.
I prepared for the worst, but I didn't expect Rongrong to actually remember part of it, that's enough, that's enough."
"Yiyang." Xu Rongrong smiled, "I think as time goes by, I will remember more and more."
"It's okay Rongrong, it doesn't matter if you remember it or not, don't force yourself." Zhan Yiyang took a towel from the hanger and wiped Rongrong's hands, and said to her gently, "It's enough if you can remember part of it."
That’s good, let’s go eat first.”
Xu Rongrong nodded, and obediently let Zhan Yiyang lead her out of the bathroom.
Speaking of Zhan Yiyang, after coming out of the bathroom, the face that had been smiling gently at Xu Rongrong immediately became expressionless.
He walked to the chair, first pulled out a chair for Xu Rongrong, watched her sit down, and then sat down next to her.
"Yiyang and Rongrong are here, let's start dinner quickly. Sister-in-law Li and I made the chicken soup specially for Rongrong. Now the temperature is just right. I'll serve it to you." Liang Shuxian saw Xu Rongrong sitting down and hurriedly stood up to serve her the chicken soup.
Xu Rongrong stood up in a hurry and declined, "No, Auntie, I will do it myself."
"It's okay. Rongrong, you have just been discharged from the hospital. Replenishing your health is your biggest task now. I can still do the soup-making job." Liang Shuxian laughed and waved her hand to stop Xu Rongrong from doing the work.
She carefully scooped out a bowl of chicken soup from the purple clay pot and placed it in front of Xu Rongrong, "Drink it while it's hot, it's good for your health."
After the soup was served, Xu Rongrong could only sit down and eat openly.
"Yiyang, come to my study later. I have something to tell you." After dinner, Commander Zhan said to Zhan Yiyang.
Zhan Yiyang didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
"Rongrong, if you are tired, go to your room and rest first. I will go to dad's study and come back in a while." After returning from the hospital, Zhan Yiyang took very good care of Xu Rongrong. In the final analysis, he was worried about what she would do to the people and things in the old house.
She has no memory and is afraid that she will be scared.
Now, although he knows that she still remembers some things, Zhan Yiyang still feels that he needs to give some instructions to feel more at ease.
"Well, I know Yiyang." Xu Rongrong nodded obediently. She really didn't have much memory of the old house, but her good impression of Liang Shuxian still remained in her mind, so she was not that afraid.
What's more, Zhan Yilin is still here.
"Brother, don't worry, my sister-in-law is with us. Dad is waiting for you in the study, so go quickly." Zhan Yilin patted her chest to Zhan Yiyang to ensure Xu Rongrong's safety, and Zhan Yiyang went to the study with confidence.
The war commander's study.
"Yiyang, now that Rongrong is back, I'm afraid your vacation is about to expire." Commander Zhan sat at the desk, looked at Zhan Yiyang and said.
Speaking of the holiday issue, Zhan Yiyang couldn't help but frown, "Dad, you also know what Rongrong looks like. She is most vulnerable and helpless now. If I am not by her side..."
"I also know that you are reluctant to let go of Rongrong, but the chief is already planning a plan to wipe out the organization. In order to take care of your grief of losing Rongrong, he deliberately postponed it until now. Now, we can't delay it any longer." Zhan
The commander sighed. He also knew how dangerous the organization's mission was. However, sometimes Zhan Yiyang was not only a son but also a husband. He was also a soldier and the country's major general.
"I know." Zhan Yiyang lowered his head and his voice became a little lower, "I'll tell her after I celebrate Rongrong's birthday."
"Oh, that's the only way it can be." Commander Zhan sighed, glanced at his son who was obviously depressed, and walked out of the study.
Just leave him alone for a while.
In the living room, Zhan Yilin and Liang Shuxian chatted with Xu Rongrong. The atmosphere between them was quite warm, and Chen Haoran also occasionally interjected.
But it was obvious that Xu Rongrong was a little absent-minded. While she was talking to Liang Shuxian, her eyes always glanced upstairs inadvertently.
Not long after, there were footsteps upstairs, and Xu Rongrong's eyes immediately widened a lot. She stared at the stairs attentively, expecting that person to be Zhan Yiyang.
However, it was Commander Zhan who appeared in everyone's eyes, not the Zhan Yiyang that Xu Rongrong expected.
Her shoulders slumped in disappointment.
Zhan Yilin patted her shoulder comfortingly and talked to her to distract her attention, "Sister-in-law, what do you like?"
"Ah?" Xu Rongrong was stunned, "I like it?"
"Yes, yes." Zhan Yilin nodded, knowing what Xu Rongrong liked, she could arrange the banquet venue.
"Something you like... or what?" Xu Rongrong asked hesitantly, "Yilin, why do you ask this?"
Just as Zhan Yilin was about to answer, she saw Zhan Yiyang's figure with keen eyes, "Brother."
Xu Rongrong's thoughts were immediately attracted by the word "brother". She turned her head and saw Zhan Yiyang's handsome face as expected.
"Yiyang." Xu Rongrong smiled, with a clean face and pure pupils.
"Rongrong." Zhan Yiyang also gave her a shallow smile, soothing her heart that had become a little anxious because of waiting for him.
"Auntie, Yilin, Haoran, you guys should go to bed early. I'm going to rest with Rongrong."
As soon as she arrived in front of Xu Rongrong, Zhan Yiyang took her back to the bedroom.
A sudden smile appeared on the other people's faces.
How can you put enough effort before eating? The long night is long and this is the most beautiful time.
Seeing the ambiguous smile on Zhan Yilin's face, Xu Rongrong felt that his face was going to burst red.
She grabbed Zhan Yiyang's collar and tried to bury her whole head in Zhan Yiyang's arms, so that she could not look at everyone's knowing expressions.
"Okay Rongrong, we're in the room." It wasn't until Xu Rongrong was put on the bed that she raised her head in embarrassment, revealing her red face that looked like a monkey's butt.
"Yiyang, it's all your fault. I'm going to be laughed at by my aunt and Yilin." Xu Rongrong pushed Zhan Yiyang's arm reluctantly, with that little woman's attitude, Zhan Yiyang was instantly ignited with flames in his body.
"Rongrong." He said deeply.
The longing, reluctance, and love hidden in the body burst out together.
Zhan Yiyang rushed towards the petite man on the bed.
*****
Today is Xu Rongrong’s birthday.
Zhan Yilin got up early in the morning, took Liang Shuxian and Chen Haoran, secretly took out the things she bought a few days ago, and quickly decorated the old house.
You can buy things like vines in advance and just hang them up when the time comes. But flowers need to be ordered.
Fortunately, Zhan Yiyang, the commander of the army, fully demonstrated his power in this case - he even had priority in ordering flowers.
Because they needed it urgently, the flowers came quickly. Chen Haoran brought a few soldiers to place them at the door of the old house. They were all pink roses, making it impossible for any girl not to love this flower door.
The Zhan family's old house was quite large and the roads were quite empty. Zhan Yilin bought many exquisite lanterns and placed them on both sides of the road. There was even a red carpet on the middle road.
The living room is even more magnificently decorated, giving it the feeling of being in a high-end KTV.
Calculating the time, three or four hours have passed from the dimly lit six o'clock to the sun rising now.
Zhan Yilin and Chen Haoran looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the old house was decorated before Xu Rongrong woke up. Zhan Yilin looked at the greatly changed room and smiled with satisfaction. Then she took the bag she just bought and handed it to Zhan Yiyang who came over.
*****
It wasn't until he got up and saw the brand new old house that Xu Rongrong discovered that today was his birthday.
"Idiot, have you lost your memory? You even forgot your own birthday." Zhan Yiyang smiled, took her into his arms, and rested his chin on her forehead, "Even if you forget, I still remember it.
"
"I, I'm really touched, Yiyang, thank you for hosting such a birthday party." Xu Rongrong hugged back Zhan Yiyang's lean waist with emotion, even his voice was choked, "In all these years, except for my mother,
, no one has celebrated my birthday anymore. Thank you Yiyang, thank you for remembering my birthday."
Although in fact, even she herself forgot her birthday.
Zhan Yiyang smiled and said, "Don't cry, you are the birthday girl today. Everyone wants to see you as beautiful as you are, not you with swollen eyes."
"I know." Xu Rongrong burst into laughter and wiped the tears from his eyes with his hands, "I'm going to put on makeup."
I haven't been out in my old house recently, so Xu Rongrong didn't put on makeup.
Nowadays, when we have to meet friends and celebrate birthdays, it is absolutely impossible not to wear makeup.
"Rongrong." Zhan Yiyang stopped Xu Rongrong and handed her the paper bag he just took from Zhan Yilin, "Go ahead and put it on."
"What is this?" Xu Rongrong took the bag. It was very light. It shouldn't be cosmetics.
"Hurry up and dress up. My friends will be here later." Zhan Yiyang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Xu Rongrong, "I'll wait for you downstairs."
"Okay, Yiyang." Xu Rongrong blinked, secretly guessing what was in the bag and thinking about what kind of makeup he would wear today.
When Zhan Yiyang saw her entering the bedroom, he turned around and went out.
