Chapter 12 What's wrong with sleeping in one bed?

Shen Tang turned around and glanced at him. "I have nothing to say to you."

After she finished speaking, she strode out. Lu Jingshen was about to follow when Huo Xiuyuan took a big step forward, his tall figure blocking the doorway.

Lu Jingshen's lower eyelids twitched a few times, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Huo Xiuyuan turned to look at him, coldly uttering two seemingly unrelated words:

"coward!"

Lu Jingshen looked up in surprise. Had he just cursed at him?

But he seemed uncertain, which made him very agitated.

The onlookers dispersed, and the grand spectacle finally came to an end.

Liu Jinhua plopped down in the chair, slapped her thigh, and howled:

"Oh my God—Hong Jun, why did you leave so early—leaving me to be bullied like this—"

Lu Jingshen turned around and glanced at her. He was already used to Liu Jinhua's tendency to cry whenever something happened.

Wang Cuixia had been peering through the crack in the door for a long time, a mocking smile creeping onto her lips. "Liu Jinhua, you've finally met your match."

Wang Cuixia couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Liu Jinhua having to clean the pigsty.

Lu Tianci frowned. "Mom's crying over there, what are you laughing at?"

Wang Cuixia rolled her eyes at him. "Mind your own business! Go cook, I'm hungry."

Lu Tianci obediently pushed open the door, picked up the pork, and went to cook.

Liu Jinhua glanced at him and cried even harder.

"Oh dear—why is my life so miserable—each daughter-in-law is more difficult than the last—"

Wang Cuixia pushed the door open with a bang, put her hands on her hips, and angrily said:

"Who are you calling names! Shen Tang offended you, why are you taking it out on me? I think your son is definitely going to be cuckolded! When Shen Tang gets selected for the performing arts troupe and marries the troupe leader, you can cry your eyes out then!"

"You're talking nonsense! Shen Tang can't have children, who would want her?"

"I think the regimental commander treats her really well. So what if she can't have children? Can't he adopt one?"

Wang Cuixia wasn't hoping for Shen Tang's well-being; she just wanted to drive Liu Jinhua to her wits' end.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law argued back and forth, their voices growing louder as they fought.

Lu Jingshen's mind was buzzing. Shen Tang wanted to join the art troupe and marry the troupe leader?

Impossible! She'd just follow him around like a shadow.

How could I possibly like someone else?

She wasn't moving into the dorm to hide from me; she was just playing dirty tricks.

At that moment, he completely forgot about Yang Xinyue.

Lu Jingshen came to his senses. Liu Jinhua and Wang Cuixia were still arguing. He turned around and strode out.

"Son, where are you going?" Liu Jinhua called out hurriedly.

"Back to the garment factory."

Lu Jingshen walked forward with his head down, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.

Logically, he should be happy that Shen Tang moved out. But now he feels like there's a hole in his heart, and something is slowly leaking away.

Lu Jingshen looked at the village's usual performance stage from afar. Shen Tang was dancing on the stage, confident and unrestrained, like a swan about to take flight.

Lu Jingshen boarded the bus back to the city alone, glancing at the empty seat next to him.

I wonder what Shen Tang is doing now?

Shen Tang was sitting in the back seat of Huo Xiuyuan's jeep, happily singing with Ge Aihua.

The two sang from the cheerful "Running Horses on the Mountain" to the passionate "Unity is Strength", then from the rousing "My Motherland" to the tender "Jasmine Flower".

Huo Xiuyuan sat in the front driving, glancing at the rearview mirror every now and then, a faint smile playing on his lips.

On the way back, the car seemed to be moving much slower.

The jeep finally came to a steady stop at the entrance of the residential compound as the sun began to set.

Shen Tang jumped out of the car, her face full of smiles.

Ge Aihua also got out of the car and said to Shen Tang with a smile, "I'll be waiting for you in the training dormitory tomorrow."

Shen Tang nodded vigorously and said, "Okay."

"Goodbye, Commander Ge," she said, leaning forward to wave to Huo Xiuyuan, and smiled. "Thank you, Commander Huo. Goodbye, Commander Huo."

Huo Xiuyuan nodded slightly at her.

"Go back quickly!" Ge Aihua said with a smile.

Shen Tang walked briskly up to the family building.

Ge Aihua watched Shen Tang disappear into the apartment building and sighed deeply.

"She's a really good girl. It's a pity she's had such bad luck; her parents died early, and her in-laws didn't treat her well. Getting into our performing arts troupe is a good way out for her."

Huo Xiuyuan didn't respond, but looked upstairs.

Shen Tang leaned out from the railing upstairs and waved to them.

Huo Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he said to Ge Aihua, "Let's go."

The two drove away.

The lights were off inside, so Shen Tang assumed Lu Jingshen wasn't home.

"Why are you only just getting back?"

Shen Tang was startled; Lu Jingshen sat silently in the darkness.

"What are you pretending for? You scared me to death!"

Shen Tang turned on the light.

As she picked up the enamel basin to go out and wash up, Lu Jingshen suddenly stood up and grabbed the basin from her hand.

"What are you doing?" Shen Tang asked, frowning.

Lu Jingshen didn't know what he was going to do; he was just a little angry.

"What exactly is your relationship with Huo Xiuyuan?"

Shen Tang looked at him coldly, "Do you think everyone is like you? Get out of my way!"

Shen Tang walked past him and headed towards the door.

When Shen Tang returned after washing up, Lu Jingshen had already made the bed. He took his own bedding and put it on the bed.

Shen Tang frowned, and with a "bang," slammed the enamel basin onto the basin stand.

"What do you mean?" Shen Tang looked at Lu Jingshen with a cold expression.

Is this bastard trying to sleep with her?

Dream on! No marriage certificate, yet you want to live like husband and wife?

Even if you have a certificate, I'm not someone you can rely on.

Lu Jingshen walked over and closed the door, saying calmly:

"We're husband and wife, what's wrong with sleeping in the same bed?"

"What a load of rubbish about being a couple! I've been saving face for you in public, not exposing your true colors, don't you know that?"

Shen Tang walked over and threw Lu Jingshen's blanket over him.

"You can sleep on the floor. I'm moving out tomorrow, then you can sleep however you want, nobody will bother you!"

Lu Jingshen stood there holding the blanket, feeling greatly humiliated.

When Shen Tang first arrived at the family compound, he wanted to sleep on the floor, but she kept crying, which annoyed him so much that he finally moved the blanket onto the bed.

Now she's the one in control!

"I want to sleep in the bed!"

Lu Jingshen walked over, threw the blanket on the bed, took off his shoes, and got into bed.

"roll!"

Shen Tang kicked him off the bed, blanket and all.

"You shrew! You're not even a hair's breadth better than Yang Xinyue!"

Lu Jingshen said angrily.

Shen Tang sneered, "Who wants to compete with her?"

"Don't even try to get involved." Shen Tang turned off the light and lay down.

"Shen Tang, let me tell you, this divorce isn't happening! You're not moving out tomorrow, and you're not getting into the performing arts troupe!"

"You're nobody." Shen Tang scoffed.

In the darkness, Lu Jingshen's eyes gleamed with anger. The next morning, Lu Jingshen went out early.
