Su Tang clapped a hand over Lu Xiao's mouth, his eyes full of confusion.
But he always listened when his wife spoke.
Su Tang shot him a look, signaling for him to be quiet.
The two of them tiptoed to the side, peeking from behind the cover of the corner wall.
Wang Xinxin stood with her head down, her fingers twisting the hem of her shirt. Her voice held a note of grievance.
"I just wanted you to go with me to the supply co-op in town. I heard they got a new batch of patterned fabric, and I want to make a new outfit."
After their life-and-death experience, Wang Xinxin felt she was starting to have feelings for Chen Zhengnian.
She didn't like this feeling of being kept at arm's length, so she decided to be direct.
But Chen Zhengnian, it seemed, didn't understand what she meant.
Chen Zhengnian stood ramrod straight, his tone gentle.
"I've been busy the last few days and can't get away. I'll definitely go with you once this busy spell is over, okay?"
