Lu Cheng was a little embarrassed to say it, but he believed that there should be no secrets between husband and wife. In addition to work matters that needed to be kept secret, he was willing to be honest with Lin Qingqing. So now, even if he did something so shameful, he chose to be honest: "Because you said that you need to temporarily not have sex with me for two years. I thought you were not in good health at first, but after taking your physical examination report, Dr. Tong said that you were in good health. So... So I asked Dr. Tong about this issue, and he said that you might have a gynecological problem.
Then, he took me to see Dr. Yang, a gynecologist... " Lu Cheng told me what happened, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not eager to have sex with you, I'm just... worried about you."
The last four words were spoken with an unusually steady and passionate tone, which also warmed Lin Qingqing's heart.
"Qingqing, maybe these two years are unavoidable for you, and you may also suffer in these two years. But I want to spend time with you. I don't want to keep guessing and worrying in these two years. I think we can solve your problem together. Instead of guessing without any clue, why don't we have a good discussion?"
Lin was startled. She had never thought that Lu Cheng would worry about her. Perhaps because she was used to being independent, she always did things and thought about things from her own perspective. She had never thought that she should think from other people's perspectives.
However, she listened to and understood what Lu Cheng said. It was at this moment that she realized how much influence those inexplicable words she said last night had on Lu Cheng.
Lin Qingqing is not a strong person, on the contrary, she is very thoughtful. She thought about it the other way around, if Lu Cheng suddenly told her this, or if Lu Cheng suddenly had to go on a mission that would take two years, what would she do
Lin Qingqing knew without even thinking about it that she would be worried about Lu Cheng. This worry was because Lu Cheng was now her husband, and because she had some feelings for Lu Cheng.
No woman would reject a handsome, steady, and mature man. However, her status did not allow her to accept Lu Cheng. But if she didn't tell him, would Lu Cheng continue to worry? Lu Cheng was different from others. He was a soldier and he would go on a mission at any time. If he was still thinking about her when he was on a mission, then... Lin Qingqing didn't dare to imagine it. Because she knew that a small thing could lead to an irreversible ending.
"If I don't tell you, will you keep thinking about it?" Lin asked gently.
"Yes." Lu Cheng answered the word "yes" firmly. Some things can be separated into public and private, but some things cannot be separated into public and private. He has always been a calm person, but when things change in his unchanging life, there are some things that he cannot be calm about.
"Then..." Lin paused and asked tentatively, "Do you believe in reincarnation? I often hear stories about this in our village. Do you believe it?"
Lu Cheng: "..." Gynecological diseases are gone, and feudal ideas have become the problem. As a college student educated in this era, and a soldier, Lu Cheng believes in feudal ideas the least. Now, his wife has started to believe in feudal ideas, which is more serious than having gynecological diseases.
Lin Qingqing looked at Lu Cheng's confused expression and wondered, what does this mean
"you… "
"you… "
The two said in unison.
"You speak first." Lu Cheng said.
Lin Qingqing was not modest either: "Do you believe what I just said?"
Lu Cheng: "..." Seeing Lin Qingqing looking at him with hope, he wanted to say that he believed it, but he couldn't say it. It's not that he looked down on rural education, but he felt that Lin Qingqing was not suitable to live in the village of the Lin family, because the feudal ideology in that village might be more serious. Otherwise, why would such a good girl want to revive by borrowing a corpse? Lu Cheng sighed and reached out to touch Lin Qingqing's forehead. She didn't have a fever.
Lin Qingqing leaned back: "What are you doing?"
Lu Cheng: "I feel a little hot, I want to see if I have a fever." He touched his forehead as if nothing had happened, "No fever."
Lin Qingqing leaned back: "What are you doing?"
Lu Cheng: "I feel a little hot, I want to see if I have a fever." He touched his forehead as if nothing had happened, "No fever."
Lin Qingqing: "... You haven't answered me yet, do you believe it?"
"I don't know." Lu Cheng chose a more conservative answer, "Because I haven't experienced it, so I can't tell you."
Lin Qingqing could understand this answer. If she herself had not traveled through a book, traveling through a book would only be a thing in novels. But now, she had traveled through a book.
Lin Qingqing didn't know how to make Lu Cheng stop worrying, and she couldn't find a reasonable excuse. She felt that her brain was not enough and her IQ was not enough.
Seeing her silent, Lu Cheng thought about the topic she had just talked about. He tried to guide her: "Why did you suddenly talk about reincarnation? Is it... has this happened to anyone?" Although he despised what he said, he had no choice. Lin Qingqing's feudal thoughts had to be guided correctly. So, he could only try to show up.
Lin swallowed gently and said in a cautious tone: "I... I read a novel before. In the novel, there is a person from the future world, but she doesn't know how, after waking up, she found herself in the body of someone decades ago. This novel is serialized. I think this subject is very interesting and I want to continue reading it, but unfortunately I haven't found it. Do you think this situation is similar to reincarnation? Will such a thing happen in real life?"
Hey... Lu Cheng sighed: "This is a novel, novels are different from reality. You are still young, don't read this kind of meaningless book. Now that high school books have been bought, you should read more high school books." Who wrote this kind of messed up novel? People in the future world went back decades ago? Lu Cheng thought it sounded messy. It's better to read more high school books. But... Lin Qingqing should like to read novels very much. He doesn't object to her reading novels, but he is afraid that she will have all kinds of messed up thoughts after reading novels.
Lin Qingqing: "... I can read high school books."
Lu Cheng: "Don't worry, you can adjust for a few days and relax for a few days. When summer vacation comes, I will take an hour every night to teach you." You can't force people to read books blindly, you have to pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Lu Cheng knew that her grades were not good. Before they got married, he investigated her family. For students with poor grades, they should not be forced.
Lin Qingqing said with tears in her eyes: "Yeah." One hour is okay, after all, it's only one hour.
"Back to the point, now, can you tell me why it takes two years?" Since he finally got started, Lu Cheng didn't want to let it go. Otherwise, when he brings it up again next time, he doesn't know if there will be another opportunity.
Lin Qingqing didn't want to face this problem, but she didn't know how to face it. After all, this kind of thing was too unbelievable. But she didn't want Lu Cheng to think about it all day and then take it with him on the mission. If Lu Cheng had any accident, she would curse herself a thousand times in her heart, but it would be useless.
But, she had just tried it, and he didn't believe it.
"What if I say that the serialized novel I mentioned is true?" Lin Qingqing tried again, "What if I say that I am the person who woke up from the future world and came to this world?"
Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Qingqing. She didn't have a fever. His smart eyes were filled with expectation, cautious exploration, and tenacity. If at first, Lu Cheng thought the novel she was talking about was nonsense, thinking it was pure fiction, and worried that she was too obsessed with feudal superstition, then at this moment, he could no longer say the word feudal superstition.
He couldn't believe her because it was too weird. However, the cautiousness and caution in her eyes made him feel distressed. She was always cheerful and lively, with starlight in her eyes. But at this moment, everything was gone. The cheerfulness was gone, the liveliness was gone, and the bright starlight was gone. Lu Cheng's words were stuck in his throat. "You... you..." He said the word "you" twice in a row, but he didn't know how to say the next words.
"I was just kidding, don't..."
"So, you are not Lin Qingqing?"
The two people said in unison again.
"You want to say that you are from the future, so you are not Lin Qingqing, and you can't sleep with me, but you need two years, because after two years, you will leave, right?" Lu Cheng asked. He felt that his brain was seizure, and he actually organized this matter according to her ideas. However, thinking that she would leave in two years, his heart was blocked. Is this why she gave herself two years
But on the other hand, Lu Cheng felt that it was wrong for him to be like this. Lin Qingqing was his wife, and he should be happy.
No, no, no, what is he thinking? How can he think along the lines of what she said? She must have been baptized by feudal superstition.
"No, I don't know if I will leave in two years, and I don't know if she will come back in two years. I gave myself two years because... because in two years, in my world, this body will reach the legal age for marriage. If she hasn't come back by then, and I haven't left, I want to be with you... and be a real couple with you." Lin Qingqing said this and lowered her head. She even felt that she was a little shameless. What she said was a little shameless.
However, her mind was in a mess and she didn't know what she was saying. Her IQ was not high and she had never encountered any difficult things. For a moment, she was really flustered.
She didn't want Lu Cheng to worry about her all the time in the past two years, nor did she want to drag it on like this, as it would be unfair to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng's originally blocked mood gradually became smooth. Especially when she said that they would be a real couple, he was very happy. But... he was conflicted. Because what she said was too incredible, he directly defined her as feudal superstition. If they were not a couple, he might have regarded her as a psychopath.
However, after spending the past few days with her, he was sure that she was not a psychopath, nor a superstitious person. "I..." At this moment, Lu Cheng also encountered difficulties. "Then can you tell me what the future world will be like?" He wanted to judge the truth based on her words.
Because the truth or falsity of what a person says is completely different from what is imagined through feudal superstition or mental disorder.
Lin Qingqing didn't know whether Lu Chengxiang believed her, but when he asked, she said directly: "I am not good at history, and I don't have much impression of the country's experience in these years, but in the future, at least in 2022, our country will be strong, prosperous, and comfortable. In the future, we will put aside the preference for boys over girls in this era, and in the future, gender equality will no longer be just talk. Our country will go to the world, and our female comrades will have a place in politics, the military, and the business world just like male comrades. In the future, college students will be everywhere, and every household will have a car. In the future,..."
Listening to Lin Qingqing talking about the future, Lu Cheng imagined such a world in his mind. It must be said that such a world infected and attracted him.
"But everything in the future is achieved through the hard work of you who have gone through this era." Lin Qingqing said, "If it weren't for you and the heroes who came before us, there would be no bright future."
"You..." She talked about a beautiful future, but that alone was not enough to convince him. "What proof do you have that you are from the future?"
There are two reasons why Lin Qingqing said she came from the future instead of saying she was a book traveler. First, she integrated into this world and did not regard it as a book. Second, she did not want Lu Cheng to know that he was just living in a book. Because to Lu Cheng, this was also a world with flesh and blood.
"In the future, starting from junior high school, English is our basic course. Although my grades are not good, I can speak a few words in English. For example, good morning: good morning... In the future, I have attended college, although it is only a junior college, but I also know calculus..." Lin Qingqing listed some knowledge in the future, "If you don't believe me, you can wait until 1966. In the history I have studied, the national situation will become tense starting in 1966, and the Ten-Year Movement will begin in 1967, and the college entrance examination will be stopped. This is why I mentioned high school graduation to you but did not mention college entrance examination, because I know that the college entrance examination will be stopped. I also know that college students in the future will encounter some difficulties..." She went on to elaborate on the Ten-Year Movement.
a bolt from the blue.
Lu Cheng never thought that the country would go through this since 1967. But at the same time, if these were true, then he had no power to change them. Fortunately, he learned from Lin Qingqing that although their country had experienced difficulties, it still stood up bravely. Knowing the result, he would not have the idea of changing it. Because if the current situation changes, no one knows what the future will be like.
"I..." Lu Cheng looked at Lin Qingqing and said solemnly and heavily, "I need to think about it."
Lin smiled gently: "I understand, then you think about it carefully, I... I will tidy up the empty room and move the small bed over later, I want to sleep over there."
"..." Lu Cheng couldn't say no. His reason and responsibility made it impossible for him to refuse, and he couldn't refuse Lin Qingqing's request. Because if what she said was true, then the person in front of him was not his wife. How could he sleep in the same room and on the same bed with a woman who was not his wife? "Yes."
No, no, they have already slept in the same room and on the same bed.
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng was filled with guilt, guilt towards the man in front of him, and also guilt towards the girl who saved her aunt with old mountain ginseng. "Can I know when you came from?"
Lin Qingqing said: "When I was conscious, my fever was over 40 degrees. I thought she might have died of fever, so I came here."
Lu Cheng: “…” Feeling full of guilt, he suddenly became speechless because of these words.
Lin Qingqing: "Then I'll go move the things first."
Lu Cheng: "I'll move it." How could she move these things
Lin Qingqing didn't have much to move, just a small bed and a chest of drawers. Her clothes were all thin and were placed in the chest of drawers. As for the original owner's clothes, she didn't bring any thick clothes because she came in June.
Lu Haici was taking a nap in the big bed and didn't know his parents were moving things. In order not to wake them up, they tried to keep their noises as low as possible.
While moving things, the two of them were silent. Lin Qingqing didn't know what would happen in the next few days, but at least now she was relieved. And Lu Cheng... was fighting in his mind. He was thinking, was she baptized by feudal superstition, or was she telling the truth? If it was true, this kind of thing was too unbelievable. If it was baptized by feudal superstition, but it couldn't be said like that, and it even brought history. For her, it was history, and for him, it was a matter of the future.
After moving everything, it was almost half past one. Lu Cheng went to wake up Lu Haici. He was going to the army, and Lu Haici was going to kindergarten. After waking up Lu Haici, Lu Haici went to wash his face. Lu Cheng said to Lin Qingqing, "We're leaving first."
Lin Qingqing: "Yeah." She walked them to the gate of the yard and watched them leave.
Alas... After they left, she stood at the door for a long time, then turned around silently. She didn't go in immediately, but stood in the yard, looking at this small yard. It's only been a few days, but she has already gotten used to life here. Is it because she pities the little cub, or because reality is too lonely, or because Lu Cheng is very good
Lin Qingqing thinks that these are all.
If the little cub was not Lu Haici, but a naughty child. If Lu Cheng was not a handsome and gentle man, but a scumbag. If she was not so lonely in reality. If there was any point, she might have left without hesitation.
But there are no ifs.
Just like Lin Qingqing's complicated mood, at this moment, Lu Cheng, who was sending Lu Haici to kindergarten, also had complicated feelings.
He thought carefully about Lin Qingqing's words, and combined with Lin Qingqing before the mission, the two people were indeed different, and even very different. When he came back from the mission, he thought that he didn't know Lin Qingqing well enough, so he made an arbitrary conclusion about her. But now it seems that the reason why she was different before and after is because she is not the same person.
"Hai Ci, tell daddy, how did you and mom spend your time when daddy was on a mission? When mom was sick, what did you and mom do?" Lu Cheng asked his son.
Lu Haici didn't understand why his father asked that, but he had a good memory and remembered everything from that time clearly, so he said obediently: "Mom was sick and lay in bed every day. I cooked for her, washed the dishes, wiped the table, and swept the floor." Lu Haici counted on his fingers, counting the things he had done one by one.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but frown after hearing this. "What happened next? Why did mom go to the hospital?"
"Because mom didn't have breakfast, I called her for a long time, but she didn't come out to eat breakfast. I was very worried, so I went in to see. Then I saw mom was sleeping and sleeping, and no matter how I called her, she wouldn't wake up. Later I cried, I cried for a long time, I told mom not to die, and I cried her awake. Then... Then I went to call Aunt Qin, and Aunt Qin called other aunts, and sent mom to the hospital. Later mom woke up, and we went home. Mom made delicious food for me, gave me a bath, washed my hair, and hugged me." Speaking of this, Lu Haici's eyes were full of stars.
Lu Cheng listened to his son's words, and combined them with Lin Qingqing's words. She said that the original Lin Qingqing might have died of a fever of over 40 degrees. Then, her son called her for so long, but she didn't respond. Did she die at that time? And the one who woke up later was the current Lin Qingqing
Lu Cheng couldn't believe it. This was something he could never think of even if he used his entire life's brain.
More importantly, if this Lin Qingqing is really not his wife, then what should they do next? There are only two possible outcomes: divorce or not divorce.
Divorce is impossible, after all, the things involved are too complicated, so the only option is not to divorce.
But if they didn't divorce, how would he and her live? Living in the same yard, as strangers with the reputation of being a couple? It was unfair to her to say that. He couldn't tie her up like this.
Lu Cheng’s head hurt from thinking about it.
He thought of the two years she mentioned. She said that she gave Lin Qingqing two years, and if she didn't come back within two years, they would become real husband and wife. So, she had feelings for him.
What about himself? Undoubtedly, he also had feelings for her. But he was already a husband, and he had to be loyal to his identity.
If he was confused by Lin Qingqing's two years before, now he was confused by Lin Qingqing's origins.
He really hoped that this was Lin Qingqing's feudal superstition, but reason told him that it was not.
"Dad, I'm at the kindergarten." Lu Haici looked at his father holding his hand and still walking. He shook his father's hand and said, "Dad, Mommy won't go the wrong way." Lu Haici patted his father's hand and said, "Dad, you can't do this. You have to learn from Mommy."
