Pedestrians in twos and threes passed by the stalls on the street, and Sister Liu was still carefully selecting couplets.
Through a half-open glass door, Luo Xi was only a few meters away from Zhou Huiyi. The shopkeeper was introducing styles and fabrics to her. She lowered her head and listened, very attentively.
"Girl, are you a soldier?"
Zhou Huiyi was wearing a dark green military uniform, capable and dignified. She was a beautiful sight when she stood there. She smiled and nodded, "Yes."
"Buy underwear for your husband. You come here every year and I remember you."
Obviously she didn't expect that she would be remembered by the store, let alone the phrase "husband". Zhou Huiyi was stunned for a moment, neither denying nor admitting, but picked out two red ones, "These are the two."
"I'll wrap it up for you. Do you want red socks?"
"I don't want that."
He didn't seem to like red things very much. If it weren't for the fact that this was his birth year, she wouldn't have chosen red for him.
Zhou Huiyi went out after shopping, and the street gradually started to become lively. She put her purse on her back and walked towards the stall selling fruit.
On the way back, Sister Liu kept praising the couplet in her hand, "Look, how well written it is. People nowadays are really getting more and more talented."
Luo Xi smiled and turned to look out the window. The crops in the vast fields had been harvested long ago, making them look empty and desolate.
"Little Luo, are you unhappy?" Sister Liu noticed that her mood was not very high, so she looked over and asked with concern.
"It's okay, my head feels a little uncomfortable."
"I have some headache medicine over there. Take one as soon as you get home. It will be very helpful."
Luo Xi really had a headache, and it was suspected of getting worse at night. The guard brought her a special meal from the canteen. She only took a sip of the soup and did not move anything else. Because she had a splitting headache, she could not move at all.
No appetite.
Lu Sheng was in a meeting and didn't come back until very late. He took off his military uniform and hung it up. He opened the bedroom door. The bedside lamp was on. She was nestled in the quilt, with only half of her face exposed.
Lu Sheng thought she was asleep, so he stood next to her for a while and then went to take a shower. When he got into bed, he found that she was still asleep, but she didn't open her eyes, but her brows were furrowed.
"Roxi, why aren't you sleeping?" He stood up halfway and looked at her condescendingly.
She shook her head, said nothing, and turned her face to one side, as if to avoid his gaze.
Lu Sheng reached out and touched her head. It was not hot, but she was not in good spirits. "What's wrong with you?"
"Headache." It took her a long time to utter these two words.
"I'll ask the military doctor to come over." He said and was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed. She held his hand and said, "It's okay. I've taken the medicine. Don't bother others."
He didn't insist anymore, but returned to the bed, leaned against the bedside, took the low pillow on one side and put it on his legs, "I'll press it for you."
He moved her head to a low pillow, which was the most comfortable position that was neither high nor low.
Luo Xi never opened her eyes, as if she didn't want to see him, and let out a muffled hum.
Two slender hands massaged the top of her head gently. He didn't know any acupuncture points, only one temple. But when he pressed it like this, the pain was indeed relieved a lot, but his heart was still pinched.
Together, it’s like a mess.
As long as she closed her eyes, she would see Zhou Huiyi buying underwear for him. She knew she should believe him, but when the jealousy surged up, even the innocent person beside her seemed to be in every possible way.
"Are you feeling better?"
She hummed again and closed her eyes tightly.
His laughter came from above, "What, who messed with you? It seems like there are two eggs stuffed in your mouth."
She finally opened her eyes and glared at him, and said angrily: "You have to take care of it." She turned over, found her own place, lay down, and ignored him.
Lu Sheng was baffled by her strange behavior. He hadn't seen her for a day, could he still make her angry through the air?
A woman's temper is sometimes really unpredictable. She can suddenly become happy or suddenly become sullen. The weather in June doesn't change faster than she does.
Lu Sheng didn't think too much, hugged her from behind and coaxed softly, "Whether it's my fault or not, I apologize to you, be good and go to sleep."
Her brows relaxed a little, her hands rested on the big ones on her waist, and she fell asleep softly.
In the middle of the night, Luo Xi woke up to go to the bathroom. Because it was not a bedroom and bathroom, she had to walk through the small corridor outside. When she came back from relieving herself, she passed by the living room and accidentally discovered a paper bag on the sofa. She remembered that this thing was not in that position before.
.
Luo Xi walked over and opened the paper bag unexpectedly. When she saw the contents inside, she suddenly felt a buzz in her head. The neatly folded items turned out to be the underwear Zhou Huiyi bought for him today. It seemed that they met today.
, she gave him underwear, and he accepted it, so next, he will wear it during the Chinese New Year.
Luo Xi held the bag tightly in her hands and felt as if she had stepped on cotton under her feet. She suddenly thought of his wardrobe, so she turned on the light, bent down and rummaged through it. She folded them neatly in the big drawer where her underwear was placed.
They were all wearing underwear of the same brand. She remembered that the shop owner said that Zhou Huiyi would go there every year to buy things. In other words, all the underwear he had worn over the years were bought for him by Zhou Huiyi.
Luo Ximing knew it was not a wise move to ask questions at this time, but she couldn't help but rush into the bedroom. The ignorant man was sleeping soundly. She turned on the light, and as soon as the light came on, he woke up and wrinkled.
With beautiful eyebrows, he looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong?"
She raised the bag in her hand, and when she let go, a lot of underwear fell to the floor. She stared into his eyes, her heart beating violently, "Did Zhou Huiyi buy this? You guys have been doing this for the past four years.
Have we always been together?"
He sat up without looking at her, his eyes fell on the dazzling fabrics. After a long while, he finally said slowly, "Yes, she did buy these for me. We have been together all the time."
This was the answer she least wanted to hear.
A gap suddenly opened in her heart, and blood mixed with despair gurgled out. She almost rushed towards him like crazy, "Why are you with her, you liar, a big liar."
Tears flowed out of her eyes unsatisfactorily, and they flowed more and more, until she couldn't control them.
In my ear, a voice whispered urgently, "Roxi, Roxi, what's wrong with you?"
He shook her shoulders and put his hand to her forehead, "What's wrong? Do you have a bad headache?"
She opened her eyes suddenly, and then she realized that the heartbreaking pain just now was just a dream. There was nothing on the floor, and there was no underwear. She must have thought too much, so she had such a dream.
, but her heart was still clogged and her pillow was wet with tears. She admitted that Zhou Huiyi had become a knot in her heart from the first time she saw her.
Lu Sheng was frightened by her, and stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, "What's wrong with you?"
She suddenly jumped on his chest, hitting and biting him, like a little animal that was being stimulated. He was attacked for no reason, and he felt dumbfounded. After letting her vent for a while, she stopped, feeling very aggrieved.
He raised his face with tears and said, "Lu Sheng, you bullied me in your dream. I hate you so much."
