Border Cook

Chapter 276 The description becomes darker and darker
Next time when you speak, could you please be more thoughtful?

The original intention was to ease her embarrassment, but this made her even more embarrassed, okay?

Really...

I have so much to complain about, it’s hard to put it all into words, I don’t know where to start, I want to say it but I can’t, it’s hard to start!
Xia Mingyue was full of complaints for a long time.

For Xia Mingyue, who was used to sleeping alone, the sudden presence of another person in the bed made her feel very uncomfortable and she didn't feel sleepy for a long time.

Until the candle flame popped again and again and the flame became smaller and smaller, Xia Mingyue's eyelids twitched for a long time before she closed her eyes.

Noticing that the breathing of the person behind him was gradually becoming heavier and more even, Lu Qiyan, who had been sleeping with his back to Xia Mingyue, carefully turned over.

Under the dim candlelight, Xia Mingyue's profile can be seen.

Quiet, elegant and very beautiful.

The corners of Lu Qiyan's mouth curled up unconsciously, filled with a smile.

Xia Mingyue seemed to be dreaming. She frowned slightly and muttered softly, then stretched her arms out from the quilt.

The spring night was cold, and Lu Qiyan covered him with a quilt when he saw this.

But before he could make any move, Xia Mingyue turned over, and not only did her quilt be firmly pressed under her arms with her arms that were originally exposed, but she also put her arms on Lu Qiyan's body.

Lu Qiyan, "..."

It seems that this is not bad?

The next day, Xia Mingyue woke up in a daze.

I slept very deeply last night and seemed to have had an unpleasant dream, but now I can’t remember what the dream was about.

Xia Mingyue decided not to think too much and just rubbed her eyes before opening them.

In front of me was Lu Qiyan’s face, still sleeping soundly.

Xia Mingyue was startled, but when she thought that Lu Qiyan had indeed slept in the same bed with her last night, she immediately calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, she fell into chaos again.

Because she is now sleeping in the same bed with Lu Qiyan, and she is sleeping inside Lu Qiyan’s quilt!
So, she was the one who was really attracted by his beauty?

Can't wait for the first opportunity?

Terrible!
Xia Mingyue complained about herself with embarrassment, but when she looked at Lu Qiyan's face while he was still sleeping, she began to excuse herself.

But it’s not her fault, right?

Everyone has a love for beauty, and it is natural to yearn for it.

Lu Qiyan was indeed good-looking, with a high nose bridge, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a slender and stylish face. Even in modern times, he would be a handsome man. She subconsciously wanted to get closer to him, which was a very normal thing.

What's more, Lu Qiyan is her husband, so why not be closer to him?

As a modern person, we should not be so coy and should be more open-minded...

Xia Mingyue kept brainwashing herself and didn't notice that Lu Qiyan had opened his eyes.

Lu Qiyan saw Xia Mingyue looking at him and coughed lightly, "My wife is awake?"

"Ah?" Xia Mingyue was interrupted and startled. She subconsciously stepped back a little, and then laughed awkwardly, "My husband probably didn't sleep well last night. I don't think I slept well..."

"He is indeed not very honest." Lu Qiyan nodded.

She kicked the quilt all night and even pushed it all under her body. So when Lu Qiyan wanted to cover her with the quilt, he didn't dare to pull it hard for fear of waking her up, so he had to cover her with his own quilt.

Xia Mingyue became increasingly embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "Actually, I usually sleep well. It was probably because my husband was here last night that I slept a little dishonestly..."

Wait, what is she talking about?
She is usually very well-behaved when she sleeps alone, but becomes dishonest when Lu Qiyan comes back. Isn't this confessing herself and admitting that she is a person who is tempted by beauty and wants to take advantage of her husband at night?

The more you draw, the darker it gets!

Xia Mingyue quickly covered her mouth, and after a moment she chuckled, "Why didn't my husband get up early to practice martial arts today?"

She remembered that Lu Qiyan would get up early in the morning and practice martial arts in the yard after returning home.

"I didn't sleep well last night." Lu Qiyan told the truth.

Because of her dishonesty?

Xia Mingyue felt that if she stayed any longer, her toes would probably be able to dig the earthen kang out of the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. She got out of bed and put on her shoes in the blink of an eye.

After saying "I'll go prepare breakfast", he hurried out of the house.

Lu Qiyan touched his nose.

My wife is also very cute.

Breakfast was a big pot of rice and clear soup noodles made by Lou Shanzi, with a poached egg in each bowl.

Xia Mingyue was concerned about Lu Qiyan's big appetite, so she made him two baskets of willow leaf steamed dumplings, picked up some shredded mustard greens, and cut open two salted duck eggs she had pickled, and let him eat them together.

The clear soup noodles are very fragrant, the steamed dumplings have thin skin and lots of meat, and the shredded mustard greens are crisp and refreshing...

Lu Qiyan was very satisfied with the meal. After finishing his breakfast, he said hello to Xia Mingyue and said he was going out.

Xia Mingyue did not ask him why he went out, but only asked whether he would come back for lunch.

"I'm not sure if this is going to be difficult or not. You don't need to prepare lunch for me yet." Lu Qiyan paused and said, "You don't need to prepare dinner yet either."

Going out all day?

Things seem to be a bit tricky.

Xia Mingyue suddenly became a little worried, "Then my husband, please be careful on your journey."

"Sure." Lu Qiyan nodded and walked out of the house.

Heading east, Lu Qiyan first went to look for Shopkeeper Ge.

Manager Ge already knew that Lu Qiyan had been promoted to battalion commander and was appreciated by the wing commander. He was very polite and respectful to Lu Qiyan at this time, "Commander Lu, long time no see, what brings you here?"

"Shopkeeper Ge is one of us, so I'll just get straight to the point." Lu Qiyan asked, "I came to see Shopkeeper Ge today because I want to ask my wife about the matter about Zhang Chunwang that I asked him to find out about before. Is there any progress?"

"Zhang Chunwang is from Zhangjiazhuang. His father is the village head of Zhangjiazhuang and an old scholar. His mother was originally from Hongjia Village. His elder brother is also a scholar. It is said that he passed the imperial examination and became an official, but it is not clear what position he held."

Shopkeeper Ge said, "I am still sending people to inquire about this, so I haven't told Madam Xia about this matter in detail. But from what Madam Xia said, it is likely that there is no such uncle, or that he does not hold a high position."

After a brief thought, Lu Qiyan asked again, "The Zhangjiazhuang that Shopkeeper Ge mentioned, is it the Zhangjiazhuang in Qingshi Town?"

"That's right. Just walk south along the official road. It's not difficult to find and it's not far." Shopkeeper Ge replied.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Ge, for telling me." Lu Qiyan stood up. "I have something else to do. I'll take my leave first. I'll meet Shopkeeper Ge for a drink when I'm free."

"When you have free time, Commander Lu, you must come and sit with us." Shopkeeper Ge smiled and saw him off.

Only after watching Lu Qiyan walk away did Shopkeeper Ge smile and nod, "Not bad."
