Even now, He Meijiao doesn't think she did anything wrong.

Her eyes were red, and she looked at Lu Zhanlin with an accusing look, choking and shouting, "Lu Zhanlin, I have done so much for you? The capital is so good, with a grandfather, classmates, a big house, and delicious restaurants... But I gave up all those things for you! I came to this godforsaken place just for you, all for you! But you don't even want to look me in the eye!"

"And the medic... You said the army needed medical personnel, and just because of your words, I signed up to be a medic without a second thought! Do you know how cold it is here in the winter? When I was out on a mission, my fingers were frozen and I got frostbite! This is the first time I've had frostbite in my life."

"I do all this for you, for you... I like you so much, why don't you understand? And that Chu Yue, how am I inferior to her? You are willing to marry a village woman, why don't you like me?!"

He Meijiao's words were full of ridiculousness and pathos.

Not to mention Lu Zhanlin, even General He, an elder, found it absurd.

If He Meijiao had only said the first half, Lu Zhanlin would have regarded her as the willfulness of a young lady and would have just passed it by and ignored her completely.

But He Meijiao actually pulled Chu Yue out and mocked Chu Yue for being just a village woman. Lu Zhanlin's eyebrows suddenly frowned together, and his expression revealed deep displeasure.

He Meijiao was unaware of all this and continued to cry and vent her inner grievances.

"When we were in the field hospital, I stayed by your bed 24 hours a day, taking great care of you. Even a blind man could see that I loved you... I left the capital for you... I came here to suffer for you... Lu Zhanlin, I loved you so much. How could you not understand that I, a girl, did such a thing? What's so good about Chu Yue!"

Lu Zhanlin's expression became more and more ugly, even Commander He noticed it. He wanted to remind Lu Zhanlin to be more tactful. After all, He Meijiao was a lesbian, so he should give some face to the one in the capital.

But before Commander He could remind him, Lu Zhanlin spoke out coldly.

"Everything you think you are doing is for me or for yourself, can't you tell the difference?"

He Meijiao was stunned for a moment, tears in her eyes, and she looked at Lu Zhanlin in shock as he spoke harshly.

Lu Zhanlin's cold and sarcastic words cruelly exposed He Meijiao's hypocrisy.

He said, "He Meijiao, stop being so self-moved. Your so-called dedication is just your one-sided thought, and it is worthless to me. Love is never a matter of one person, but a matter of two people loving each other. Don't you understand such a simple truth? And-"

Lu Zhanlin's eyes darkened and his voice became even colder, "The army is a sacred place, and being a soldier is a glorious belief. If you are not a medic for the belief in your heart, you should have taken off this military uniform long ago. He Meijiao, you don't deserve it!"

Lu Zhanlin not only belittled He Meijiao's feelings, but even her qualifications to be born as a human being.

He Meijiao's face turned pale and blue all of a sudden, and her pupils seemed to be shattered. She couldn't believe that such cruel words actually came out of Lu Zhanlin's mouth.

This man had absolutely no tenderness for her and treated her as even worse than an ant on the street.

"Lu Zhanlin! You will regret this! I will definitely make you regret this! You, Lu Zhanlin, are not worthy of me, He Meijiao!"

He Meijiao let out an angry roar, pushed the door open, and rushed out of the office.

In a blink of an eye, the office fell into silence, with only Commander He and Lu Zhanlin left.

Lu Zhanlin stared at Commander He motionlessly.

Commander He knew that he was waiting for an answer and also for justice. After all, what happened to He Meijiao yesterday was really too much, and even Commander He couldn't protect her.

He nodded and said, "Just as you said. Take off the uniform, leave the army, and let her return to the capital."

Lu Zhanlin stood straight and saluted.

He turned around and was about to leave, but Commander He had no intention of letting him go.

Commander He narrowed his eyes and stared at the wound on Lu Zhanlin's lip with interest. "I never thought I'd hear the words 'mutual affection' from you. I thought you'd never talk about love in your life. Are you getting it now?"

Lu Zhanlin naturally thought of Chu Yue and everything that happened last night, and the cold frost in his eyes melted unconsciously.

He said in a deep voice, "I learned it from you."

"You kid..." Commander He laughed instead of getting angry.

Commander He and Mrs. He are a model couple in the army. Who wouldn’t want to be like them, supporting each other and growing old together?

In the past, if Commander He heard what Lu Zhanlin said, he would definitely laugh at him. What you have learned is that love and married life in this life are not so easy to learn. They are learned by living day by day.

It’s a pity that Commander He was in no mood to say these words to Lu Zhanlin today, and a hint of sadness appeared on his energetic face.

Commander He suddenly asked, "Is your wife at home today?"

Lu Zhanlin was stunned, paused, and replied, "Ayue is at home."

After Commander He fell silent, Lu Zhanlin looked out the window. That direction was the family compound. He didn't know if Chu Yue was awake yet, whether she would be angry or embarrassed if she woke up, whether she had eaten the egg and brown sugar water, and whether the brown sugar he added was enough...

…

Compound.

"Aunt He?!"

Chu Yue exclaimed in surprise.

When Mrs. He walked into the yard, Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao were squatting in the vegetable garden weeding. As the weather gradually warmed up, small green sprouts emerged from the hard black soil. Unfortunately, those were not crops, but weeds.

Not only do you need to weed, but you also need to mix the chicken poop left over from raising chickens in it and spread it in every corner. It is a pure natural organic fertilizer that can help the seedlings grow better.

So Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao were somewhat dirty.

Faced with the gentle and loving Mrs. He, the mother and son rubbed their hands embarrassedly.

Mrs. He was the most calm and composed one, and asked softly, "Did I disturb you?"

"No." Chu Yue shook her head and immediately called Mrs. He into the house, saying, "Aunt He, please wait a moment. I'll wash my hands."

I can't meet Mrs. He and smell like cow poop the first time and chicken poop the second time. That would be too embarrassing.

Chu Yue felt rarely embarrassed.

She immediately took Lu Yuanbao into the house to wash their hands, and carefully used soap to wash away the odor on their hands before coming out.
