Chapter 374: Old Husband and Old Wife
Four words popped into Qiao Dui's mind: profitable.
She pounded his chest a few times with her pink fist, and said coquettishly: "Fu Jingchao, did you say this to coax me?" ”
"It's not." He gasped and paused above her and whispered, "Twilight, I love you, love you, love you, love you, love you very much." ”
He said so much in a row, the moisture in Qiao Dui's eyes increased, and he sniffed and cried and laughed: "Why are you so annoying, saying such things at this time, what do you think of me?" ”
"I don't want you to do anything, I just want you to allow me to love you and love you for the rest of my life." He kissed her red lips, religiously like a believer.
She put her hands around his neck, raised her face and kissed him, her lips and teeth intertwined......
……
In the middle of the night, Fu Jingchao woke up and adjusted the air conditioner to a suitable temperature, then lifted the quilt and continued to go to bed.
In his arms was the familiar soft fragrant jade that he had not seen for a long time, and there were still traces of his body temperature on her skin, he kissed her cheek, and thought with a silent smile, I really couldn't imagine that she and her were entangled from the blazing sun in the middle of the day to the middle of the night......
He closed his eyes contentedly and soon fell asleep as well.
Early the next morning.
Jotwilight opened her eyes in the warm sunshine, and she glanced around the unfamiliar room before remembering where she was, the bed was messy, she was not under the quilt, and there were kiss marks everywhere, showing what a passionate London night she had experienced yesterday.
With no man by her side, she was in a trance, and couldn't tell whether this was a dream or a reality.
She lifted the covers, picked up the nightdress cover from the floor at the foot of the bed, and ran out barefoot.
At about seven o'clock, the man was standing at the kitchen counter, wearing a dark gray hoodie, sports leggings, skillfully frying eggs in his hands, and the light micro-stove next to him "ding", announcing that the milk was ready.
With short hair on the forehead, eyebrows and eyes covered with a layer of sunlight, and the contour lines of the side face are rigid and perfect, this picture is as beautiful as a painting, which is both heartwarming and unreal.
It was about her staring for too long, and the man finally couldn't help but turn his head: "Are you hungry?" Wait two minutes, and it will be fine soon. ”
Qiao Dui's gaze was caught by the man, and he quickly moved away, shrugging his shoulders casually: "It's okay that I'm not hungry, you can get it slowly." ”
She was thinking about how to go out, when she heard the man ask in a low chuckling tone: "Why did you come down dressed like this, are you afraid that all this is a dream?" ”
Yes, she was terrified, and since the reunion with him on the plane, everything has been like a dream, like a joke God played on her.
Of course, she subconsciously replied: "No, I'm just hungry and want to come down to see if there is anything to eat." ”
As if he had heard some joke, he looked like he couldn't help but laugh, and Joe realized that she had said contradictory things, the last sentence she clearly said that she was not hungry, and the next sentence slapped herself in the face.
"Oh, I see, then you go up and wash up first, and you can eat when you come down." The man still said in a warm and calm tone.
Qiao Dui's face was red, and he hurriedly ran out.
A quarter of an hour later, as Jo Twilight changed her clothes and prepared to go down, the bedroom door was opened, and a smell wafted in, and the man walked through the bedroom with a tray in his hand, and came out onto the oversized terrace, where there was a round dining table and chairs.
She watched him expertly put the fried eggs and toast, as well as two cups of warm milk on the table, he turned to look at her, and raised his eyebrows: "Why stand stupidly, come over for breakfast." ”
Qiao Du sighed and sat down with his slippers on.
Fu Jingchao pushed the milk to her, plus two slices of toast and two fried eggs on the outside plate: "This is your share, eat it while it's hot." ”
She was really hungry at this time, so she let out an obedient oh and ate with a knife and fork.
After two mouthfuls of toast, he remembered something, and looked up at him, "You made this?" ”
"Didn't you see it just now, isn't it me?"
"Oh, it seems to be." Qiao Du continued to eat obediently.
The morning light is sparkling, sprinkled on the two of them, with the surrounding buildings, like princes and princesses in fairy tales, living a fairytale-like romantic life, which is enviable.
While eating, Qiao Du secretly looked at the man next to him, he was probably hungry, he ate quickly but elegantly, and wiped his lips with a piece of paper to look at her: "How is it?" Has my cooking skills improved? ”
In her impression, he has always been high-minded, domineering, and even unquestionable.
Washing her hands and making soup like this, she did it so perfectly, gentle and considerate, and meticulous, that she couldn't cope at all.
Qiao Du put down the half-drunk milk and nodded solemnly: "It's not just progress, it's just speed, speaking of which, I remember that you weren't good at cooking before, how did you progress so fast?" ”
"There is an old saying in China, don't say goodbye for three days, when you look at each other, you and I have been separated for more than 700 days, is it unusual that I will cook?"
The implication is that there is a lot of pain caused by complaining about longing caused by being separated for too long.
Qiao Du put down the knife and fork, smiled and reached out to hold his big hand: "Okay, I don't complain about being a woman, why are you like a complaining husband all day long." ”
"Okay, I shouldn't complain about my husband." He took her hand and kissed her several times on the lips, then put her hand back on the table and motioned for her to continue eating.
Qiao Twilight picked up the knife and fork again, cut a piece of fried egg, and asked him as she chewed, "Who is Ruyi?" ”
He raised his eyebrows lightly: "How do you know Ruyi?" ”
"You called Ruyi hundreds of times in your dream last night, and I will always hear it no matter how dead I sleep, and I remember that Su Xuan has a maid named Ruyi."
“……”
Seeing that he was extremely silent, Qiao Duan tilted his eyes at him: "Fu Jingchao, you won't be a woman outside?" That's right, with your strong demand and energy, how can you not touch a woman for two years...... Hiss ......"
Her cheeks hurt, and the man reached out and pinched her fiercely, and scolded in a low voice: "Anyone can doubt me, you can't, you know?" ”
"Why not?" She rubbed her aching cheeks, in fact, she said that on purpose, just to stimulate him, and use the agitation method to make him tell the truth.
Fu Jingchao narrowed his starry eyes, as if he was in deep thought, and squirmed his lips and said, "I really want to hear it?" ”
"Yes."
Instinctively, she felt that it must be a long story, for his brow was furrowed, tight, as if he had fallen into some nightmare.
He lowered his head and laughed quietly, "Do you know why I was discharged from the army back then?" ”
She crossed a piece of toast and shook her head slightly, the reason for his discharge from the army was always a mystery in her mind, she had asked several times before, and he had said a word, vague, obviously not wanting to recall, I didn't think he would take the initiative to mention it today.
"Because of wishful thinking." His voice was hoarse, as if it was extremely difficult to spit out the name from his throat, and he looked at her with bottomless eyes: "Her full name is Fu Ruyi, and she is my sister." Half-sibling, never announced to the public, Ruyi is a very assertive girl, she doesn't want to be criticized after taking the surname of the Fu family, she and my parents agreed to wait for her to make military merits before announcing it to the public, but that year, she decided to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Aaron with me, and the operation was assigned by my superiors with full command. She was my sister and my soldier, and I took her and one of my troops to a remote town near Aaron. The primeval forest was covered with miasma, and the locals in the nearby town did not dare to enter it, and the information given by the superiors showed that Aaron and his organization's base camp were stationed in it, and they used the miasma as a natural barrier as his protective umbrella. I was entrusted with a mission by my superiors. ”
Qiao Du waited with bated breath, and the hand holding the knife and fork turned white, she knew that the next year was about Qiao.
Fu Jingchao glanced at her, pursed his lips, and then calmly said: "Before this, we have studied many plans, and found that none of them are perfect, and finally decided to take the first plan, that is, if you want to avoid the miasma, you must first find a local person who is familiar with the miasma to act as a guide to take us in." I handed this matter to Ruyi to do, she had been promoted to class leader before this task, I intended to give her a chance to make meritorious contributions, but I didn't expect her to find ten guides, including your father Qiao Yinian, Ruyi introduced that he was the most suitable person, because he was a geography teacher, and a local, familiar with the terrain, and your father came to see me, patted his chest and promised that he could take us in safely, but he had a request, he asked us to give a good return. I agreed. ”
Twilight lowered her head and continued to eat her food, it was obvious that she was focused on listening to him, moving slowly and nonchalantly. After all, it was the first time in more than a decade that she had heard the client speak directly about what had happened that year.
This time he didn't look at her, and seemed to be deeper in his memories: "Then before preparing to leave, I told Ruyi that ten guides are too many, as long as Qiao is alone a year, it is enough, but Ruyi said that there is too much miasma in the forest, in case Qiao bragged a year, he was poisoned and died first, wouldn't that affect the encirclement and suppression plan of the entire army?" If there are ten guides, they will not be afraid, and if they fall down, there will be another one. At that time, I was so preoccupied with how to complete the military mission assigned by my superiors, so I didn't really think about leaving a message, which was my negligence and the place where I felt the most guilty in many years. ”
Qiao Du raised his eyes, looked at him without blinking, and took his words: "So, the next year Qiao died, he and the ten guides acted as a death squad, Fu Ruyi planned to do so from the beginning, she kept you in the dark." ”
"Hmm." A look of guilt appeared in his dark eyes: "After the departure, the ten guides walked in front, Joe walked in the front, at the beginning, he did lead the way very well, led us to successfully avoid a lot of miasma, when we arrived at the Aaron base camp, in fact, we had already walked into a minefield, and none of the ten people who walked in front were spared, all of them were shattered." Then Ruyi beckoned everyone to rush in......"
At this point, he didn't say any more.
Qiao Dui's face was already pale, if she didn't know that Fu Ruyi was a girl and was so young, she would really think that Fu Ruyi was terrible, and she would not hesitate to sacrifice so many lives in order to make meritorious contributions.
"Chao, I don't blame you, I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, Joe has been dead for a year, although his death has changed my fate since then, but I am fine now, fate arranged for me to meet you in the dark, arranged for me to fall in love with you in the dark, and Rui'er is such a child, I am very satisfied, really, you don't have too much psychological burden." Qiao Du persuaded him softly, and asked, "What happened later?" What happened? ”
"Later, there was a fierce battle between the two sides, and while the mines were detonated, the men on Aaron's side were ready, and as soon as we rushed in, we were ambushed."
"How so? Aren't you the commander of this encirclement and suppression operation? You don't have a well-thought-out plan? ”
He glanced at her: "Everyone in the army knows that I am Ruyi's brother, and when she beckoned everyone to rush in, everyone thought that it was with my acquiescence, which is also the reason why Ruyi is bold, she is too eager for quick success, eager to prove herself, and blames me for not teaching her well." ”
"Don't blame yourself." Qiao Du held his hand with both hands, distressed comfort.
Fu Jingchao overflowed a wry smile on his lips, and looked down at the back of her white hand, "In the battle, Ruyi was also blown up by a rocket, I reformulated the plan, and finally rushed into the Aaron base camp with the troops, Aaron was a European-American with a big waist at that time, we fought, the battle was fierce, he and I were seriously injured, he fled under the cover of a few henchmen, and the rest of his men were killed and wounded, not a climate, my troops won a big victory, and a large number of drugs were seized." I was unconscious, lying in the hospital for many months, I repeatedly recalled everything that happened that day, the sacrifice of the ten guides was good in Ruyi, but I did not have a control of the overall situation in advance, I believed in Ruyi excessively, there was no distinction between public and private, I made a serious disciplinary mistake, I submitted a report of several thousand words to my superiors, and I proposed to be discharged from the army. Because I succeeded in destroying the Aaron base camp, my superiors ignored my application, and they sent many people to persuade me, but I didn't listen, even if my father tried to persuade me in an unprecedentedly consultative tone, I didn't take it, and finally I was successfully discharged from the army and came to Li City with my bare hands. ”
After listening to his story, Qiao Du seemed to see a man with flesh and blood and a sense of responsibility walking towards her, she wanted that from this moment on, she began to worship this man extremely, worship his daring to act, worship his masculinity, worship him Even if he runs from the north to Licheng in the south of the Yangtze River empty-handed, he can still break out of the world.
How can such a man not be admired.
At this moment, she understood why so many people admired him and were willing to follow him without complaint, Fu Sichen, Luo Quan, Yuan Yunxu, A Biao......
If she were a man, I am afraid she would follow him willingly, not only because of the status and wealth he created, but also because of his uprightness and righteousness in his life.
In this current society where women's aesthetics are distorted, "little milk dog" and "Korean-style beautiful man" are popular, but she only likes a man like him.
Qiao Du got up from the chair, came to the man silently, leaned down and hugged him from behind, his little face was close to his face, and whispered softly: "I know that Qiao's year has nothing to do with you, you have carried the blame for your sister for so long, don't do this in the future, don't carry everything alone, don't hold everything in your heart, you are not iron-beaten, you also need to talk and share, you are also a human being, from now on I am willing to be your listener and companion, okay?" ”
He reached out and rubbed her smooth cheek, "Okay." ”
The two embraced each other like this, enjoying the sunshine and the quiet and beautiful morning in the manor.
"Twilight."
"Huh?"
"I'm fine, you haven't finished breakfast yet, see if it's cold, I'll reheat you when it's cold."
She let go of him, walked over and tasted it, it didn't get cold, and swept the rest into her stomach.
"Eat slowly." He took a tissue paper to wipe her lips, but stopped in the air, because there was a milk mustache on her lips, and he couldn't help but lean forward and lick them off one by one.
Qiao Dui blushed and hurriedly dodged.
The two of them put away the dishes together, Qiao Du glanced at the clock, it was only half past seven, entered the kitchen and put the tableware in the sink and asked him, "It's only half past seven, where is Rui'er?" Did you go to school? ”
"This weekend, he went out early in the morning to play rugby with his classmates."
She put the dishes in the cupboard and wiped her hands, "And when is he playing?" ”
"Tomorrow."
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow to watch him play?"
"Okay."
The conversation between the two is like that of a husband and wife for many years.
She snuggled into his arms and shook his arm coquettishly: "Chao, why did we enter the old husband and wife mode so quickly?" ”
"What's wrong with the old husband and wife? I think it's good. He took her hand and went for a walk in the back garden, walking in this manor that was dozens of times larger than Liuliwan or the Ink Mansion, Qiao Du truly experienced what it means to enjoy a palace.
She pursed her lips and walked around his arms with both hands: "But we haven't been together for long, is it really different when we get married?" Is love the grave of marriage? ”
"Love is the grave of marriage?" He raised his eyebrows disappreciatively: "Why don't I think, otherwise why are so many unmarried people laughing at themselves all day long and calling themselves single dogs?" ”
Well, he has a point.
Qiao Du found herself starting to suffer from gains and losses, and asked one question after another: "That people often say that love eventually turns into family affection over time, what do you think?" ”
"Isn't this better?" He pointed to the tip of her nose and explained: "Think about it, what is family affection, it can only be called family affection when blood is thicker than water, in other words, it is called family affection based on blood relationship, otherwise no matter how good the relationship is, it is only called friendship, or love." But once love turns into family affection, the meaning is different, you know? ”
"Uh-huh." She nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and willingly took his bowl of chicken soup for the soul.
In the past two days in London, the daily life of the two is mainly to eat, drink, shop, and then do shameful things, and the whole thing is a honeymoon state.
Fu Chengrui automatically left plenty of space for the two, and most of the time he either went out to play ball with his classmates or practiced boxing, and only met at dinner or breakfast tables in the evening.
In the blink of an eye, it was the night of the game.
Fu Chengrui went to the arena two hours in advance to prepare, Qiao Duan wanted to follow her to see what was going on, Fu Jingchao pulled her and didn't let her go, saying that the backstage was full of shirtless boys, and there was nothing to see.
Qiao Du bit her lip, she knew that someone was possessive, so she had to wait patiently in the outside stands.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the boxing arena was full, and the whistles and shouts on the scene were endless, which made Qiao Duan, who had not seen this kind of competition abroad, frown frequently.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Fu Jingchao hugged her and glanced around, "It's like this in foreign countries, I'm used to being free and casual, and it will be even more chaotic when I wait for the game, just bear with it and get used to it slowly." ”
Qiao Du pressed one hand to his chest and nodded slowly.
At 10 o'clock, the game began.
The first one to appear is a muscular kid against another black kid.
The two sides fought fiercely, and in the end the black kid won.
This format is based on the ranking of the previous season's tournament to determine the success of the appearance, which means that the lower the ranking, the last appearance.
After a few rounds, it was Fu Chengrui, and he fought against a yellow-haired British boy.
When Fu Chengrui appeared on the ring shirtless and wearing only boxing shorts, the cheers from all sides were deafening, some people shouted Fu Chengrui's English name, and many girls screamed directly.
Qiao Du was stunned, she didn't expect her son to be so popular in London, and the popularity was beyond her imagination.
In the next game time, she was completely stunned, and the kid who punched fast and lightning on the field was completely like Fu Chengrui, who was usually taciturn.
When the opponent fell in the end, the referee raised Fu Chengrui with one hand and signaled to the audience that he had won, and there were noisy cheers.
Qiao Du burst into tears, covered her lips and couldn't speak.
"Why are you so happy?" The man in her ear whispered helplessly, and took out a tissue to wipe her tears: "I don't know, I thought the player you supported lost." ”
She burst into tears and laughed, snatched the tissue from his hand, and almost jumped up with excitement, and said incoherently: "Chao, did you see it?" That's my son, it's our Rui'er, he's amazing, he's my pride, he's our pride......"
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, I know, I know." His tears fell even more fiercely as he watched her speak, and slapped her back with his big palm to soothe.
"You don't know, didn't you say that his boxing practice was so-so, and that he couldn't do it when he met a master?" Qiao Dui's brain was good at this time, and she began to settle accounts after the autumn.
Fu Jingchao couldn't cry or laugh.
"Hmph, Rui'er is not as bad as you said, the referee said at the beginning of the game just now, Rui'er was the gold belt of the last season, this time he won the opponent, he got another gold belt, he is good, awesome!"
Fu Jingchao surrendered: "Okay, it's good that I'm too demanding, I said it wrong, okay?" ”
"You were wrong, you were jealous of my son."
Fu Jingchao: "......"
Once this woman makes trouble unreasonably, the man has no way at all, forget it, just listen, who made her his wife.
