After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

Xia Qingning got out of the car, agreed with Wu Xiaodong to start driving lessons in a while, and then walked home carrying loquats.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Lu Jingzhe and He Shanshan standing in front of the bicycle.

Lu Jingzhe's face looked very bad, as if he was suppressing his anger. His eyes, which had already shown no warmth to begin with, now looked even colder.

It seemed that he had discovered that He Shanshan had stolen the bicycle, but Xia Qingning was a little surprised that he was so angry.

"I made it very clear yesterday that we are two families!" Lu Jingzhe looked at He Shanshan with anger in his eyes:

"Didn't your mother teach you not to touch other people's things?"

One sentence expressed disgust for two people.

He Shanshan knew she was in the wrong, and seeing Lu Jingzhe's stern eyes, she became extremely angry and did not dare to open her mouth to defend herself.

"Just this once, you are not allowed to touch this car again!" Lu Jingzhe said coldly, without looking at her again, and walked into the house.

In fact, Lu Jingzhe didn’t care that much about He Shanshan stealing the bike. He just saw Xia Qingning sitting in Wu Xiaodong’s car and was angry but had no place to vent.

After Lu Jingzhe left, He Shanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and saw Xia Qingning walking in with a basket, and the jealousy in her heart surged out.

How could she have such a nice bike when she couldn't even ride one? I just rode it secretly and she was scolded so harshly.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She caught up with Xia Qingning in a few steps, stopped in front of her, glared at her angrily and said:

"Someone bought you a car and backed you up. You're very proud, aren't you?"

Xia Qingning glanced at her coldly. Just now in front of Lu Jingzhe, she was so scared that she didn't dare to breathe, but now she ran in front of him to show off. Did she really think that she was the original body that was easy to bully?

"Shouldn't I be proud?" Xia Qingning asked back without blinking.

He Shanshan was choked and her face became even more ferocious:

"What are you bragging about? You think you're so great about having a car? Humph! You can't even ride it."

Xia Qingning looked at her and smiled gently:

"That's amazing! After all, you don't have one, so you can only ride it secretly."

He Shanshan didn't expect Xia Qingning to be so arrogant. Not only did she admit it, she also mocked her. Seeing her eyes change from anger to resentment, He Shanshan couldn't find the words to fight back. She could only say something harsh:

"Just wait and see how long you can be so proud." After saying that, he went back to his room angrily.

As he walked, he thought: Isn't Xia Qingning so arrogant now because she relies on Lu Jingzhe's support? When Lu Jingzhe leaves, I will beat her to a pulp!

The two annoying people didn't get any advantage from her today, and Xia Qingning felt like she had won the first battle.

She put down the basket, found a large bowl, grabbed a few handfuls of loquats in it, then went to the kitchen to wash them and brought them into the room.

In the room, Lu Jingzhe sat at the table, his expression still not looking good. Xia Qingning placed the loquat in front of him and said to him:

"My brother brought me some loquats. Please try them."

After saying that, she took one and, with her slender white fingers, turned it up and down and quickly peeled it. She took a bite and the flesh turned into sweet juice that spread throughout her mouth.

It turned out to be a good thing that had not been sprayed with pesticides. It was many times more delicious than the bland loquats she bought in the real world.

"It's delicious, you should try it." After eating one, Xia Qingning couldn't help but recommend it to Lu Jingzhe.

Lu Jingzhe did not respond, but looked at the bowl of brightly colored loquats. The water-stained loquats exuded a strong fruity aroma.

After a moment, he raised his hand, picked up one, tore off the thin skin, and put it in his mouth.

Xia Qingning knew that he was angry about Shanshan stealing the bike, so she wanted to divert his attention, so she asked:

"Sweet."

Lu Jingzhe responded, "Sweet." His expression eased a lot, and then he said:

“It still tastes the same as before.”

When Lu Jingzhe was a child, he lived in his original village. Because his father was sent down to the countryside, the living conditions were not good, and there were no snacks to eat.

There were several large loquat trees in front of my original home. Every season, there were more loquats than could be eaten. My original father was still alive at that time, and he would always pick some and send some to their home.

So this was a rare touch of sweetness during the few years that Lu Jingzhe lived in the village.

Xia Qingning was not the original body and could not empathize with him, so she naturally ignored what he said, "It still tastes like before" and instead used other people's feedback to confirm it.

I only heard her say with a smile:

"Yes, Xiaodong and the others said it was delicious just now."

After hearing the affectionate name "Xiaodong", Lu Jingzhe paused his movements and his expression, which had just relaxed, turned cold again.

Seeing that he was unhappy again, Xia Qingning had no idea that he was unhappy because Wu Xiaodong sent her back. After all, in everyone's eyes, Wu Xiaodong was just a half-grown child.

She naturally thought that he was still thinking about the car incident, and she also knew that he was venting his anger by saying those words to He Shanshan just now.

To calm him down, he said:

"Don't be angry. It's okay for her to ride the bike. I don't mind."

Originally, she wanted to calm him down, but the two of them were not on the same channel at all. Xia Qingning didn't know that every word she said now hit Lu Jingzhe's sore spot.

"It's okay to ride it for a while" and "I don't care", these two sentences fell into Lu Jingzhe's ears, naturally implying that Xia Qingning didn't care about the car he bought for her at all.

Why doesn't she want a car that others envy? Thinking of her sitting in Wu Xiaodong's car, smiling so naturally and comfortably, Lu Jingzhe seemed to understand everything at once:

It's not that she doesn't care about the car, but she doesn't care about Lu Jingzhe as a person.

As proud as he was, he couldn't ask Xia Qingning directly why she didn't care about him. He held his breath and asked Xia Qingning coldly:

"I bought you a car, why don't you ride it?"

"Ah?" Xia Qingning didn't know why he suddenly asked this. She was stunned for a moment, but still answered honestly:

“I can’t ride a bike.”

Can't ride? This is something Lu Jingzhe didn't expect, but the next second he thought of:

Since you don’t know how to ride, you can just ride Wu Xiaodong’s car with a legitimate reason, right?

Thinking of this, he felt even more unhappy. He looked sideways at Xia Qingning and asked in a colder voice:

"Don't you know how to learn if you don't know how to ride?"

Hearing him ask this, Xia Qingning thought he was blaming her for not being able to ride a bike, which gave He Shanshan an opportunity to take advantage of her, so she immediately explained:

"I'm going to study."

When she just came back, she made an appointment with Wu Xiaodong to go to learn how to drive. Now is the perfect time. After saying this, Xia Qingning pushed the loquat on the table in front of Lu Jingzhe:

"You eat first, I'll go learn now."

After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and walked out of the room.

Lu Jingzhe didn't expect that when he asked her to learn, she went there immediately. After hesitating for a moment, she raised her hand and took another loquat.

When I calmed down, I realized that I had spoken to her too harshly just now. Seeing how anxious she was to leave, I wondered if I had scared her with my behavior just now.

In fact, he didn't expect that he would speak to her in such a harsh tone, but for some reason, whenever he heard her mention Wu Xiaodong, he would feel bad and his attitude would become uncontrollably worse.

At this time, she thought again, if she went to learn how to drive alone, the car would be so high, and if no one held her, she would fall easily.

Thinking of this, Lu Jingzhe showed an undisguised look of worry on his face. He raised his leg to walk out, but the next second, he saw through the window the scene of Wu Xiaodong teaching Xia Qingning how to drive.

I saw Xia Qingning sitting on a bicycle, and Wu Xiaodong standing beside her, helping her to steady the handlebars with one hand and holding the back seat with the other hand, then guiding her to pedal.

In just a moment, the loquat taste of Lu Jingzhe's childhood was no longer sweet.
