Chapter 580: Chapter 579 How Could I Be Tired

Lin Xia glanced at the window. Because it was covered by dark curtains, she could only tell that it was already bright outside.

She leaned over to the bedside table to grab her watch to check the time, only to unexpectedly find a palm-sized note under it.

Lin Xia picked it up curiously and saw that it was written in Lu Zheng’s handwriting. The few sparse lines were strikingly heartfelt.

’Wife, I’ve gone to the office. I’ll bring you breakfast on my way back. Love you.’

Lin Xia couldn’t help but smile, so he had gone to the office. No wonder she didn’t see him early in the morning.

Because of the words "love you" on the note, she couldn’t help but reach out and gently touch it, feeling waves of sweetness in her heart.

This guy, what’s gotten into him today?

Usually, Lu Zheng isn’t one to express his love verbally and prefers to act rather than speak.

Now, simply leaving a note with the words "love you" at the end, really wasn’t easy for him.

After laughing, Lin Xia wickedly thought about their late return last night and wondered how he felt getting up this morning, whether his legs and feet felt weak.

However, knowing Lu Zheng, even if he was physically drained, he would definitely not show it.

Lin Xia stretched lazily, got out of bed, then dressed and walked to the window to open the thick curtains.

Lin Xia looked up at the winter sun outside, squinting her eyes happily, thinking how good it was to have Lu Zheng by her side!

Lin Xia neatly folded the blanket and took her toothbrush and towel to the bathroom to wash up.

After Lin Xia had freshened herself up, the door was suddenly pushed open.

It turned out to be Lu Zheng returning; he was holding two aluminum food containers.

"You’re back?" Lin Xia asked, getting up happily to greet him.

Seeing Lin Xia up and that the blanket was neatly folded, Lu Zheng grinned, "Wife! Are you hungry?"

Lin Xia rubbed her stomach, "A bit hungry! Are you done with your tasks?"

"Yeah! After breakfast, I still need to go back!"

Lin Xia stood up, wanting to take the food containers from him, but he dodged her, "Wife! You don’t have to carry it. Where shall we eat?"

"Let’s eat at the bedside table!"

"Okay!"

Lin Xia cleared some items off the table. She folded the note and slipped it into her pocket, giving Lu Zheng a sly smile as she did so.

Lu Zheng’s ears burned, and he looked away uncomfortably.

The idea to leave Lin Xia a note had been a spur-of-the-moment decision.

He saw that Lin Xia was sleeping soundly and didn’t have the heart to wake her.

He was worried she might be scared if she woke up and didn’t see him, so he left a note to inform her of his whereabouts.

But naturally, he ended up writing those two words at the end. Afterwards, he felt a bit embarrassed about it.

Lu Zheng cleared his throat and lifted the lid of the containers, revealing one with rice porridge and the other with steamed buns and small pickles.

"Breakfast is a bit simple!"

"It’s quite nice! Have you eaten?" Lin Xia didn’t mind the simplicity of the breakfast.

"I’ve eaten! Wife! For lunch, I’ll take you to the canteen. In the evening, Brother Li wants to treat us, and we’re invited to dinner at his house!"

"A treat? We shouldn’t go empty-handed, right?" Lin Xia suddenly remembered there was still so much food in two big packages, "Right, I brought a lot of treats for you! We can bring some over there!"

Lin Xia had gotten off the train late last night and after the two of them hastily washed up, they dove right into bed, so the two large bags of items she brought had not been shown to Lu Zheng yet.

"Are those two big bags filled with food?" thought Lu Zheng, no wonder they felt so heavy yesterday.

"Yes! I even prepared some extra, thinking you could share some with your colleagues!"

Seeing Lin Xia head straight for the two bags, Lu Zheng worried about the breakfast getting cold and quickly re-covered the lunchbox.

"Everyone still remembers those sausages I brought back last time! They’re in for a treat now!" Lu Zheng’s eyes brimmed with a happy smile. Who didn’t know his wife made delicious food by now?

Lin Xia found Lu Zheng’s tone quite amusing as she smiled and directly opened the large bag, revealing a wool sweater she had bought for Lu Zheng on top.

"Take a look at this first! I bought you a piece of clothing, I’m not sure if it’ll fit right. Why don’t you try it on?"

Lu Zheng accepted it with a joyful expression, "Wife! It definitely will fit!" He then began taking off his clothes without a second thought.

As it turned out, the black wool sweater fit Lu Zheng perfectly.

Lu Zheng’s complexion was not very fair to begin with; it was a healthy bronze color.

Black was a versatile color that instantly added a mysterious charm to his overall appearance.

After genuinely complimenting him a few times, Lin Xia began taking out food items one by one.

"The sausages can last a while, you can eat the beef sauce with noodles, and there aren’t many pig livers and tails, just enough to take to your colleagues for a drink...

There are also some roasted pine nuts, which are very nutritious. I brought some pickles too, all homemade by me..."

Unable to help himself, Lu Zheng stepped forward to embrace Lin Xia and gently pecked her lip corner, "Wife! You are so wonderful!"

The tenderness in Lu Zheng’s eyes nearly melted her, and Lin Xia’s heart felt sweeter than honey.

As their gazes met, the couple became affectionate.

Lin Xia was the first to calm down; she could not let romantic feelings disrupt his work.

She gently pushed him away, "Breakfast is getting cold!"

Lu Zheng chuckled softly, "Alright! We’ll wait for tonight..."

Lin Xia glared at him teasingly, "Aren’t you tired?"

"My wife has come all the way to see me, how can I be tired?" Lu Zheng felt as if he had been injected with a shot of adrenaline.

If it hadn’t been so late last night and if Lin Xia hadn’t been so exhausted from the journey, how could he have let her go easily?

After Lin Xia finished breakfast, Lu Zheng insisted on not letting her lift a finger and washed the lunchbox with hot water from the kettle before reluctantly leaving the guesthouse.

After Lu Zheng left, Lin Xia lay down again to catch up on some sleep.

Around noon, Lu Zheng came back to pick up Lin Xia.

Lin Xia felt a bit nervous about facing many people in the cafeteria.

This wasn’t her first time here; the last visit was due to her older brother Lin Chun’s hospitalization, and she came solely as Lin Chun’s sister.

But this time, she was visiting as Lu Zheng’s wife.

Seeing her slight nervousness, Lu Zheng took Lin Xia’s hand with a smile, "Wife, don’t worry! When they see the delicious food you brought, they’ll definitely be overjoyed, howling in delight!"

"Do they really react like that?" Lin Xia was somewhat skeptical.

"Whether they do or not, you’ll find out soon enough!" Lu Zheng knew those people all too well.

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng left the room carrying sausages, pickles, and a big bag of pine nuts.

Sure enough, they bumped into a man and a woman on the first floor.
