Courtyard House: In this life, I have a new home!

19

They squatted inside like two stray dogs, tears streaming down their faces.

That's terrible!

Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai were finally released after three days in the detention center.

The two dragged themselves back to the Hongxing Courtyard, looking like two stray dogs, their hair a mess like a chicken coop, their clothes wrinkled.

I was cold and hungry, and my whole body felt like it was falling apart.

Yi Zhonghai is getting old and can no longer keep up.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, my legs went weak and I plopped down on the ground.

He was panting heavily, like a leaky bellows.

My body was swaying so badly I could barely sit up.

"Gurgle—"

My stomach was growling loudly, and I was so hungry it hurt.

The detention center does provide food.

But the cornbread was hard and cold, and I couldn't even swallow it.

In addition, the two of them usually come from well-off families and eat well, so they can't stand this kind of suffering.

They starved themselves for three days and three nights.

My stomach is practically empty from hunger!

Yi Zhonghai swallowed hard, pushed himself up, clutched his stomach, and hunched over as he walked home.

He muttered, "I can't take it anymore, I really can't hold on."

"I need to go home and get something to eat; these old bones of mine will fall apart if I keep going like this!"

"Silly Zhu, you should go back too."

As he spoke, he pushed open the door and went inside.

He needed to fill his stomach quickly and then take a shower.

He still needs to go find his old flame, Jia Zhangshi.

He was swindled out of fifty yuan by that woman and spent three days in jail, but he didn't feel any resentment at all.

As soon as I got back to the courtyard, I couldn't wait to get there.

He was rushing off to please Jia Zhangshi.

As for Sha Zhu's side...

Sha Zhu's condition wasn't actually much better than Yi Zhonghai's.

All he wants now is to get home quickly, take a shower, and fill his stomach.

Then he went to Qin Huairu, whom he had been longing for, and tried to win her over.

The thought of seeing his goddess soon filled Sha Zhu with sweet joy.

He grinned foolishly for a while, then turned around and went home to take a shower and have dinner.

When he came out again, he was completely clean and tidy.

I feel much more energetic now.

He started walking and headed straight towards Old Jia's house.

Looking for Qin Huairu!

But when he passed by Lu Zhenxing's house, he suddenly froze.

His eyes were fixed on that side.

At that moment, Ding Qiunan was seeing Lu Zhenxing off at the door.

Lu Zhenxing put one arm around her waist and leaned down to kiss her on the cheek.

He reached out and pinched her cheek, giving her some instructions.

"I'm going to work. Be careful at home."

"Ignore those people in the Hongxing Courtyard if you can; none of them are easy to deal with."

"To be honest, I'm really worried about you. I wish I could take you to work at the factory with me."

Because the two had just gotten married.

Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill granted Lu Zhenxing and Ding Qiunan a week's wedding leave.

But yesterday the factory sent someone to call Lu Zhenxing.

Tell him to go back to work the next day.

They say the factory can't do without him!

When Lu Zhenxing heard this news...

I was stunned for a long time.

In the end, all he could do was sigh helplessly.

He's only had three days off; he still has four days of leave left.

Then I have to go back to work.

What a miserable life.

But there was nothing we could do.

Lu Zhenxing could only encourage himself.

"The greater the ability, the heavier the responsibility; this is because the factory trusts me."

"Besides, now that I'm married, I need to earn more money to support my wife and kids. Working overtime isn't a big deal."

"Lu Zhenxing, you have a long way to go!"

Self-comfort works quite well.

He roused himself and prepared to leave for work.

The only person he was worried about was Ding Qiunan.

Lu Zhenxing was speaking from the heart.

He genuinely wanted to take Ding Qiunan with him to the steel rolling mill.

We go to work together.

To avoid leaving this kind woman behind, only to have her bullied by the people in the courtyard.

Besides, the two had only been married for three days.

It was incredibly sticky at that moment.

How could I bear to part ways?

Ding Qiunan was also reluctant to see Lu Zhenxing leave.

Her eyes were red, and she held Lu Zhenxing tightly around the waist, refusing to let go.

She pouted and said coquettishly.

"Zhenxing, I don't want you to go to work. I'll miss you terribly."

"We've only been married for three days and we're already separating? That's so cruel!"

"Zhenxing, please don't go, I don't want to leave you, Zhenxing~"

As Ding Qiunan spoke, tears began to fall in a steady stream.

Her pretty little face was covered in tears; it was truly heartbreaking to see.

Seeing how clingy his wife was, Lu Zhenxing felt a sweet warmth in his heart.

But more than anything, he was staring at Ding Qiunan's delicate face, his mind filled with that kind of thing.

For the past three days, the two of them have barely gotten out of bed.

Newlyweds, having just tasted the sweetness of marriage, can't possibly stop themselves from going all the way.

He was at a loss.

After three days of this ordeal, Lu Zhenxing felt like his back was about to break.

It wasn't that his desire was particularly strong, but rather that he and Ding Qiunan were simply too compatible in that area.

That taste was so good it made your bones melt.

Not only Lu Zhenxing, but Ding Qiunan also couldn't stop.

The two of them endured it for three days straight.

No one complained.

Lu Zhenxing thought to himself, this can't go on like this.

We need to find a way to get some formulas to replenish qi and blood.

I'll get some medicine and boil it to drink.

Otherwise, you'll ruin yourself sooner or later.

As I was pondering this, I suddenly felt something soft on my lips.

A sweet aroma wafted over.

It's Ding Qiunan.

Lu Zhenxing has also noticed these past few days that Ding Qiunan always carries a sweet fragrance.

Like a glass of milk with honey.

It's soft, fluffy, fragrant, and sweet.

Holding her in my arms, she felt like a cotton candy.

This feeling is indescribable.

With such a sweet and loving wife, Lu Zhenxing would never have enough love for her in his lifetime.

Marrying Ding Qiunan was the greatest blessing of his life.

Lu Zhenxing raised an eyebrow as he looked at Ding Qiunan, who had come up to kiss him.

Ding Qiunan cooperated in every way that was required.

But deep down she's actually quite conservative.

But today, she took the initiative to kiss Lu Zhenxing on the lips.

He even boldly stuck out his tongue.

The two tongues were constantly intertwined in their mouths.

They can't be separated.

Just like Lu Zhenxing and Ding Qiunan, the newlywed couple.

Lu Zhenxing responded to Ding Qiunan's kiss.

Finally, Ding Qiunan had kissed him enough.

She opened her mouth, and her lips were already bright red.

It's a little swollen; it's from Lu Zhenxing sucking it in.

Ding Qiunan's big eyes were misty with tears, sparkling with shyness and love.

Her cheeks were flushed red; she was clearly very shy.

Despite her shyness, she stood on tiptoe and gave Lu Zhenxing a big kiss on the cheek.

His face was full of reluctance as he said:

"Zhenxing, you must think of me today."

Ding Qiunan blushed, staring into Lu Zhenxing's eyes, her voice as soft as melted sugar: "He hasn't even left yet, and I'm already starting to miss him... Zhenxing, I really can't bear to part with you."

Lu Zhenxing felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that she had truly fallen in love.

He wanted to spend more time with his wife, but with his workday approaching, he had no choice but to let go of her hand.

He lowered his head and gently pecked her cheek.

"I'm leaving, don't worry."

"Qiu Nan, I'll be thinking about you at work today too."

"It's chilly outside, come back inside."

Ding Qiunan nodded obediently, her eyes sparkling: "I remember, Zhenxing, I'll keep everything you said in mind, and I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

"Slow down and watch your step!"

She stood at the door, watching Lu Zhenxing walk away with longing eyes.

Until that figure completely turned the corner and disappeared from sight.

She craned her neck to look, remaining completely still, like a stone standing there.

After a long while, she sighed softly, "He just left, and I'm already missing him terribly..."

They'd only been married three days, but they were already inseparable, like they were in the throes of honey.

This separation leaves me feeling empty inside.

Ding Qiunan frowned, feeling a pang of jealousy, and was about to turn around and go inside.

At that moment, Sha Zhu moved.

He suddenly shouted, "Miss Ding! Wait a minute!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he rushed to Ding Qiunan like a gust of wind, his face full of silly grins.

He had seen the whole scene of that couple's sweet farewell.

The fire in Sha Zhu's heart was burning so fiercely that he felt like he was about to explode.

He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and his face contorted in pain.

Why is it that Lu Zhenxing is able to marry a woman like Ding Qiunan?

If you're going to marry him, then marry him! And why are you being so sweet and affectionate in front of him?

He almost choked to death on the dog food.

You'll either die from overeating or from the sourness!

He, Sha Zhu, had just suffered a major setback with the goddess Qin Huairu.

Not only was he swindled out of fifty yuan, but he was also detained in the detention center for three days and three nights.

Although he didn't blame Qin Huairu.

Who told him to be such a simp?

But he's not stupid.

He saw it clearly—Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi had conspired to scheme against him and Yi Zhonghai.

But Lu Zhenxing and Ding Qiunan turned around and gave him another dose of PDA.

This was like rubbing salt into a wound for Sha Zhu.

The feeling was indescribable.

It hurts to the bone.

Sha Zhu was filled with hatred.

I hate that God is blind.

The more Sha Zhu thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Why should Lu Zhenxing live such a good life? They live in the same courtyard, so why is the difference between them bigger than that between a person and a dog? Sha Zhu lives like a dog, while Lu Zhenxing is living a wonderful life with a beautiful woman in his arms.

This is not fair!

Sha Zhu grew angrier the more he thought about it, his anger burning ever brighter, and his eyes hardening. He stared intently at Lu Zhenxing and Ding Qiunan, a single thought flashing through his mind—he had to tear those two apart.

He wanted Ding Qiunan to go with him, to add some trouble to Lu Zhenxing's life.

If Sha Zhu isn't having a good time, nobody else will either!

As soon as Lu Zhenxing left, Sha Zhu couldn't hold back any longer. He rushed over quickly, got close to Ding Qiunan, and his face was full of smiles.

He stared straight at Ding Qiunan, then opened his mouth and started chuckling.

Hehehe!

My mouth is watering.

Sha Zhu slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Sister Ding, I really can't find the words to describe your looks! You're the kind of woman who could make fish sink, geese fall from the sky, the moon hide its face, and flowers blush with shame! Yes, that's it!"

"To tell you the truth, I, Sha Zhu, have lived in this courtyard for so many years, and I've never seen a girl more beautiful than you!"

"Believe it or not, even my sister Qin Huairu can't compare to you!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and continued to chuckle foolishly.

Hehehe!
