At night, the couple nestled together.

Gu Xiao turned to the side, placed his hand on Shen Lu's slender waist, and pulled her into his arms. Shen Lu had a small frame, and the two of them formed a stark difference in size in Gu Xiao's arms.

He leaned down and buried his face in the crook of her neck, taking a deep breath.

Only now, surrounded by the strong scent of jasmine, did Gu Xiao feel a sense of reality.

Shen Lu squeezed Gu Xiao's hand and turned around.

She gazed at the man with her bright, watery eyes.

The two slowly drew closer, their breaths mingling, and they kissed tenderly and passionately.

His warm, large hand slowly moved downwards, caressing the woman's slender waist.

Shen Lu reached out and stopped him.

"Not today, I'm on my period."

I found it while washing up just now.

Gu Xiao paused for a full minute before realizing which body Shen Lu was referring to.

Looking at the sly smile on the little woman's face in his arms, Gu Xiao knew she was doing it on purpose.

There's nothing I can do; she's my wife, so I can only spoil her.

Seeing the rising lust beneath him, Gu Xiao could only throw off the covers and go outside to take a shower.

When they returned, Shen Lu had already fallen asleep with her head turned to the side.

Sensing that the man was getting into bed, Shen Lu whimpered and leaned over to hug his lean waist.

have to.

The bath was wasted.

*

The next day, when Shen Lu woke up, there was no one beside her.

Shen Lu went to the kitchen, where Gu Xiao was focused on cooking.

She wrapped her arms around the man's strong waist from behind, rubbed against his broad back, and sighed contentedly.

She had wanted this for a while. Gu Xiao had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His broad shoulders were very comfortable to lean on, and his narrow waist and slender build made him very comfortable to hug.

Drink it while it's hot.

Gu Xiao brought over a bowl of brown sugar water. He had gotten up early and consulted with the old lady in the courtyard before preparing the brown sugar water for Shen Lu.

Shen Lu's menstrual symptoms were mild, but after drinking a warm cup of brown sugar water, she felt very comfortable and rubbed her stomach.

She gave Gu Xiao a sweet smile.

Gu Xiao pinched Shen Lu's nose.

He hadn't slept well all night, and this carefree little woman hadn't noticed at all.

There was a performance for the staff and students at the family compound today, and the children didn't go to school; they were all waiting to watch the performance.

Shen Lu tidied up the family of four and they set off together.

Gu Xiao and Lu Jianguo chatted as they walked, while the two children wandered around the stone.

As soon as Shen Lu arrived at the performance venue, she saw Zhao Jingxue from afar. Zhao Jingxue, a hospital nurse, was having a performance with her colleagues, and she was carrying a fan that she would use for the performance.

Zhao Jingxue walked over and started talking to Shen Lu.

The two chatted as they walked and quickly made an appointment to visit the newly opened Friendship Store next door when they had time.

Regardless of the era, women share the same natural instinct: their eyes light up at the mention of shopping.

The weather is getting cold soon, and Shen Lu is thinking of making cotton-padded clothes for her family, two good quality cotton quilts, and some sweaters.

There was a long staircase in front of the auditorium, about two stories high. As the two were going upstairs, a cautious voice came from behind them.

"Comrade Shen, how often are you planning to go out on the streets? I'd like to go with you."

Shen Lu looked at the woman's face and found it somewhat familiar, but couldn't immediately recall who she was.

"I am Liu Xiaojuan."

Shen Lu then remembered that she had seen this woman during the translation institute interview, but she was not selected in the end.

Shen Lu still remembers that Liu Xiaojuan was very eager to please Wen Xin'er and Zhuang Xiaoting. When Zhuang Xiaoting boasted that she wanted to make a bet with her, Liu Xiaojuan was the first to step forward.

Shen Lu didn't have a good impression of her and didn't want to have any contact with her.

Zhao Jingxue turned around and spoke directly.

"When we go out is none of your business, we won't go with you."

After he finished speaking, he made a face at Liu Xiaojuan.

Liu Xiaojuan was caught off guard by such a remark and stood there awkwardly for a moment before finally managing to stammer out a reply.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to make friends with you guys, since we interviewed together before..."

"Don't you get along well with Wenxin and the others?" Shen Lu interrupted her pitiful statement.

The implication was that they should not be disturbed.

Liu Xiaojuan bit her lip, unsure of what to say. Even so, she didn't leave, staying right beside the two of them, following them step by step.

Zhao Jingxue continued chatting with Shen Lu, both of them ignoring Liu Xiaojuan.

The sounds of the two people chatting happily were extremely grating to Liu Xiaojuan's ears.

Liu Xiaojuan cautiously turned around, and Zhuang Xiaoting, not far away, was urging her on.

After a while, Liu Xiaojuan seemed to have made up her mind, and ran a few steps to Zhao Jingxue.

His voice was resolute.

"Comrade, let me help you carry it," Liu Xiaojuan said, reaching out to help Zhao Jingxue carry the fan.

"Get up, I don't need you." Zhao Jingxue gently tugged at the fan in her hand.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaojuan didn't hold on tightly at all. She was pulled over by the fan and pounced towards Zhao Jingxue.

Just as Zhao Jingxue was about to retort to Liu Xiaojuan, she saw Liu Xiaojuan pounce on her like a boneless beast.

They were in the middle of the stairs, which, although not very high, were still a bit steep.

Zhao Jingxue hurriedly dodged away.

Liu Xiaojuan rolled straight down like that.

"Ah, help!"

Liu Xiaojuan's shout attracted everyone's attention.

"What happened?"

"Someone rolled down!"

"Help! Save them!"

Many enthusiastic comrades rushed down the stairs.

Zhao Jingxue and Shen Lu exchanged a glance and immediately understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

The two of them took off running down the stairs.

When the group found Liu Xiaojuan, she was lying on the ground, covered in sweat, clutching her twisted right arm and groaning in pain.

The bloodstains had stained the dark gray fabric a deep color, indicating a serious injury.

"How did she suddenly fall like that?"

"Exactly! Even a perfectly healthy person can trip and fall while walking just a few steps!"

This is a military family compound, and they have the least tolerance for people who are frail and delicate. When they saw that Liu Xiaojuan had injured her arm, there were bursts of mocking voices from the crowd.

"How did you fall?"

Lu Jianguo happened to be passing by, and his voice was questioning.

"I……"

Liu Xiaojuan spoke timidly, as if she was hesitant to say something, her eyes darting between Zhao Jingxue and Shen Lu.

Wenxin'er and Zhuang Xiaoting, who were not far away, became enthusiastic and came over to help Liu Xiaojuan up.

"Don't worry, Xiaojuan, just tell me what's wrong, and Political Commissar Lu will definitely stand up for you."

Liu Xiaojuan was already under psychological pressure, and the broken arm was also causing her excruciating pain.

Tears streamed down her face.

"I just wanted to help Zhao Jingxue and ease the tension in our relationship, but I didn't expect her to push me away like that."

All eyes were on Zhao Jingxue.

Compared to the frail and helpless Liu Xiaojuan, the comrades clearly disliked the vicious Zhao Jingxue, as described by Liu Xiaojuan.

Zhao Jingxue gave a cold smile; she knew it was coming for her.
