Chapter 651: Chapter 650: Can You Really Bear to Let Me...

When Lin Xia woke up, she found that it was already broad daylight outside the window.

With no curtains to block it, the sunlight poured straight into the room.

She looked around in confusion, but there was no sign of Lu Zheng.

She cleared her throat and called out, "Lu Zheng! Where are you?" but there was no response.

Lin Xia guessed he was not at home.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up, feeling her back and legs weak.

She silently sighed that even though the bed was unusable, it hadn’t stopped him from exhausting her.

Lin Xia got up and went to the restroom.

Looking around the house, which was bare except for the creaky iron bed, she pondered what to buy in town today.

Just as Lin Xia had finished washing up, Lu Zheng returned with a food container in hand.

Lu Zheng’s appearance was completely different from Lin Xia’s listlessness!

He looked vigorous and radiant as if he had just taken a Great Tonic Pill!

Lin Xia once again wanted to lament, how could there be such a big difference between people?

She even began to suspect whether Lu Zheng had been restoring his energy with yin-yang practices.

Lu Zheng had a brilliant smile on his face, "Wife! You’re awake? Are you hungry? I went to the cafeteria to get you some breakfast!"

His biological clock was very precise, waking him up on time.

Seeing his still-sleeping wife’s tired face, he tiptoed out of bed, quickly got ready, and left the house.

Now seeing Lin Xia’s freshly washed face and her cheeks pink like porcelain, he had to restrain himself from giving her a kiss.

"I was wondering why you weren’t home!" Lin Xia patted her stomach, "I am actually quite hungry!" The meal she ate on the train the previous night had long been digested due to all the vigorous activity.

But looking around the barren house, which didn’t even have a table, she asked, "But how are we going to eat?"

Lu Zheng looked around, "I put it on the kitchen counter! Wife! Let’s make do!"

Lin Xia was quite optimistic, "Okay! Let’s make do! Let’s hurry up and eat, then go buy some furniture! It would be best if they are ready-made!"

Lu Zheng had brought back some porridge, steamed buns, and pickles, while Lin Xia took out the tea eggs Luo Xinyan had packed for her.

The couple stood in the kitchen, making do with their breakfast.

Lu Zheng handed her a peeled egg, and with a suggestive tone, asked, "Wife! Did I exhaust you last night?"

Lin Xia pretended to glare at him fiercely, "You know you did and still don’t hold back... Let’s rest tonight!"

Lu Zheng made a sad face, "Wife! You know how hungry I am!" He moved closer with a mischievous smile, "Last night was only a half-meal for me! Do you really have the heart to let me..."

Lin Xia nudged him with her elbow, annoyed and embarrassed, "Stop it! Eat your food properly! Do you still want to go out and shop?"

Lu Zheng looked at her with an adoring smile, "Alright! As you command!"

The two of them teased and jested as they finished their breakfast, then started to get ready to go out.

Just as Lu Zheng and Lin Xia opened their front door, the neighbor Hao Xiaoyun also opened hers, and the three of them met face to face.

Hao Xiaoyun smiled warmly, her eyes shimmering with understanding, "Lin Xia arrived late last night, right? I just came out to check; I wasn’t sure if you were awake yet, so I didn’t dare come over to visit!"

She understood that the couple hadn’t been together for a long time and surely needed some intimate time.

Therefore, she didn’t find anything unusual about Lin Xia getting up late.

Lin Xia’s face warmed slightly, as she had slept deeply and it was already late, "Sister-in-law, I arrived last night after midnight! Otherwise, I would have come over to your place earlier!"

"No worries! Why the rush? We’ll be living across from each other from now on, there’ll be plenty of time to visit!" Hao Xiaoyun laughed, "Are you guys heading out?"

Lin Xia replied with a smile, "Yeah, our house has nothing in it, we’re thinking of going to the town to buy some stuff, or else even eating would be an issue!"

She couldn’t always eat at the cafeteria after moving in.

Hao Xiaoyun nodded cheerfully, "Exactly, you can’t miss anything when settling into daily life. Go ahead then, don’t let me hold you up!

"Go early and return early, if you can’t prepare dinner, just come to my house to eat!"

Lin Xia had a very good impression of Hao Xiaoyun, so she didn’t stand on ceremony, "Okay sister-in-law, we’ll chat more when we get back!"

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng went downstairs, got into the car, and left.

Along the way, they chatted casually about who lived upstairs and downstairs in their apartment building.

Lu Zheng mentioned that Nie Siming and Yang Wanmeng, a couple, lived in the main hall on the third floor, while other floors housed people from different departments.

"...No one is in the main hall on the fourth floor of our building! But considering it’s too high, and inconvenient to go up and down every day, I chose the second floor, living right across from Old Li!"

Lin Xia felt the second floor was also quite good, it was convenient to go up and down stairs for shopping, and the fourth floor was the top floor, requiring an additional two flights of stairs.

Carrying things might be manageable, but for a homey day-to-day life, the second floor was just right.

"The second floor is great, I really like it! Did Yang Wanmeng move in after the New Year?"

"Yes! She just recently became pregnant!" Lu Zheng said casually.

Hearing that Yang Wanmeng was pregnant, a flash of envy crossed Lin Xia’s eyes, "That’s wonderful!" She wondered how long it would take before she and Lu Zheng could have children.

Lu Zheng heard the desire and envy in her tone; he affectionately ruffled her hair, "Silly wife! What’s the rush? I haven’t had enough of just us two yet! Do you really have the heart to make me go from tasting delicacies to eating plain again so soon?"

Lu Zheng deliberately made himself look pitiable, and Lin Xia looked at him and smiled, pressing her lips together, "It’s up to heaven! If it really happens, you eating simply for the sake of the child wouldn’t be a big deal!"

"Right! Right! My wife speaks wisely! But I’m hoping it happens later, I haven’t had enough of you yet!"

Lin Xia playfully glared at him, "Get on with you! Focus on driving!" then she turned to look out the window.

Lu Zheng knew that Lin Xia was feeling shy, so he immediately switched topics back to the matter at hand, "Wife! Should we buy a refrigerator this time?!"

When they got married, he had wanted to buy Lin Xia a refrigerator, but she had refused.

He knew that they wouldn’t be living there long, so he didn’t insist too much.

But now things were different, they were planning to settle down here.

Although plans can’t always keep up with changes, and they could be transferred at any moment;

as long as they lived here even for a day, he wanted to make their home comfortable and cozy to make Lin Xia happy.

Lin Xia, smoothing a stray hair behind her ear, persuaded Lu Zheng, "I think we shouldn’t buy one for now! It’s soon going to be cold! I see we could use the north-facing balcony at our home to store some things during the winter!

Besides, we have just moved here, and buying too many noticeable items isn’t ideal, let’s keep a low profile!"

At that time, televisions were considered luxury items, and refrigerators even more so.

Lu Zheng felt that Lin Xia’s considerations were quite reasonable; he then set his sights on a television, "Then let’s buy a TV! It will give you something to do when you are at home!"

"I don’t really want to watch it! Let’s not buy it for now!"

Lin Xia thought that since they had just moved in, they should first solve the most urgent necessities, and gradually furnish the rest later.

Lu Zheng could only reluctantly comply with her for the time being.

When Lin Xia and he arrived in town, they first went to a furniture store.
