That year, she was stood up on a blind date.
Su Nian sat alone in a state-run restaurant. The food in front of her had gone cold, and so had her heart.
A man suddenly sat down across from her. He had a cold expression and didn’t say much, but he ate at an unhurried pace.
She thought, He’ll do.
He thought, That’ll do.
Three days later, they got their marriage certificates.
Everyone was betting that Director Lu would return her within three months.
After all, he was a stern, six-foot-plus king of hell, while she was a chubby girl who was five foot six and weighed 160 pounds.
But they didn’t know
In public, they kept three steps apart and politely called each other “Director Lu” and “Comrade Su.”
In private, they squeezed onto one kang bed and shared one quilt, neither willing to let go first.
Later, she lost weight and became beautiful. Every man on the farm wanted to marry her.
For the first time, Lu Zhengnian lost his temper in public. “She’s mine.”
That night, back at home, he knelt on the washboard and stammered,
“Nian Nian, did I… say something wrong?”
[Cold and distant king of hell in public × jealous, devoted puppy in private]
[Three feet apart on the surface × can barely fit under the same quilt]
[1970s marriage first, love later. The “I didn’t know I’d like it” moment may be late, but it always comes]
Embarrassing, I can't stand it😭
