Chapter 154 That was like a stab in his heart

The sharp needle was inserted into Chu Yue's fingertip. In just a moment, a bead of bright red blood emerged from her fingertip and formed a small ball.

Lu Yuanbao stood up from the small stool with a bang.

Along with it came a man's calm and deep voice, which contained a hint of worry.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Yue didn't have time to take a look at her small wound. When she heard the sound, she looked up and saw Lu Zhanlin walking into the room.

The man came back at this time.

Lu Zhanlin took off his military cap, revealing his slightly wrinkled brows. He then took off his coat and walked quickly to Chu Yue.

He had something to do in the army today and came back later than usual. Unexpectedly, Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao were both awake. The moment he entered the room, he heard Chu Yue's soft cry.

That blow was like a stab in his heart.

The wound on Chu Yue's finger was so small that it would heal within a few minutes as long as the blood was wiped off. It was the kind of wound that would seem pretentious if told to others.

But whether it was Lu Zhanlin or Lu Yuanbao, they both walked up to Chu Yue with serious expressions.

"I didn't—"

Before Meishi could finish her words, Lu Zhanlin grabbed Chu Yue's fingers and put them to his mouth.

The warm touch of the man's lips surrounded her, and the moist feeling flashed by. The bright red blood beads on Chu Yue's fingers disappeared, replaced by a touch of water light, which was particularly bright under the light.

Lu Zhanlin said in a deep voice, "Okay, be careful next time."

Lu Yuanbao tried to stand on tiptoe to see more clearly, but he was not tall enough to see Chu Yue's fingers. He didn't feel relieved until he heard Lu Zhanlin say it was okay.

Chu Yue wanted to complain about Lu Zhanlin for making a fuss out of nothing, saying that it was unnecessary to make such a big deal about such a small wound.

But she had to admit that it felt really good to be surrounded by this big and small group of people. She could hear her heart beating happily.

After Lu Zhanlin released Chu Yue's fingers, he looked at the thing in her hand and asked, "Is this Yuanbao's schoolbag?"

"Well, I want to sew a five-pointed star on it so he can carry it to school tomorrow."

Chu Yue came back to her senses and picked up her schoolbag. She looked at the crooked five-pointed star she had sewn. It was really not very beautiful, and she frowned helplessly.

Lu Zhanlin sat down, reached out and took the schoolbag from Chu Yue, and at the same time took the needle and thread from her hand.

"Let me do it."

Chu Yue's eyes widened, "Can you sew?"

Lu Zhanlin, Captain Lu, the aloof military officer whose name scares everyone to death, actually knows how to sew?!

Who would believe it if I told others?

What happened next forced Chu Yue to believe it.

Under her astonished gaze, Lu Zhanlin held the needle and thread steadily in his hands, first untied Chu Yue's crooked stitches, and then sewed them back on.

It's true, every stitch is so neat and tidy, much better than Chu Yue's.

Lu Zhanlin lowered his head slightly, his dark eyes fixed on the stitching of the five-pointed star. "When I was little, my brothers and I shared a pair of pants. When we first joined the army, supplies were scarce, so when our training uniforms got torn, we fixed them ourselves. Most soldiers would do that."

Everyone can do it, so it’s not surprising that Lu Zhanlin can do it.

Chu Yue suddenly asked, "Captain Xu can do it too?"

Lu Zhanlin's throat choked, because Xu Feng really didn't know how to do it. He always had someone to help Lu Zhanlin sew and mend his clothes, otherwise he wouldn't feel embarrassed even if he wore open-crotch pants.

Seeing that Lu Zhanlin remained silent, Chu Yue knew what he meant.

She smiled and said, "Captain Xu is not an ordinary soldier, so it's normal that he doesn't know how to do it."

If even a big and rough guy like Xu Feng can use needle and thread to do handicrafts, then where is her face?

Xu Feng can't do it, and neither can she. That's normal.

and……

"It's enough if there's one person in our family who can do it." Chu Yue said with a clear conscience.

Lu Zhanlin looked up and saw Chu Yue's lips slightly raised. When he lowered his head again, he also smiled.

The five-pointed star is very small and it was made in a short time.

Lu Zhanlin handed the military green schoolbag to Lu Yuanbao. Lu Yuanbao held it in both hands and looked at it back and forth. Even the calmest child couldn't help getting excited at this time, his eyes sparkling.

Lu Zhanlin touched his head and asked Chu Yue, "Does school start tomorrow?"

"Yes, it's tomorrow. It's okay if you don't have time. I've made an appointment with Sister Chen to go to school with her tomorrow. Sister Chen's Dazhuang and Yuanbao are in the same class, so they can take care of each other."

Lu Zhanlin said, "Okay, I'll have to trouble you with the housework."

…

The next day.

Just as they had said to Chu Yue, they went out with Chen Fengying and her son and walked to school.

The school is some distance away from the compound, about a twenty-minute walk.

Lu Yuanbao was carrying a new schoolbag and wearing clothes and shoes specially prepared by Chu Yue. He was walking in the front, looking like a serious and good student.

Chen Dazhuang complained, "It's time to go to school again. School is the most boring thing. It's either writing or reciting texts. It's nowhere near as fun as picking bird eggs."

"I think you just had too much fun during the New Year. You should go back to school and focus. Don't say this kind of thing again, so as not to affect Yuanbao. With your grades, be careful that Yuanbao won't play with you in the future." Chen Fengying said behind Chen Dazhuang with a look of disappointment.

Chen Dazhuang immediately turned around and retorted, "No way! Yuanbao just likes playing with me! Yuanbao, don't you think so?"

Lu Yuanbao was dragged to join the "battle" between the mother and son, nodded and said "hmm".

Chen Dazhuang hugged Lu Yuanbao like a good friend and stuck out his tongue at Chen Fengying, "I told you that Yuanbao likes playing with me the most! It has nothing to do with my grades!"

"You little brat, you're really pissing me off... You want to piss me off on the first day of school, don't you..." Chen Fengying almost got violent, but suddenly remembered Chu Yue was by her side. She quickly calmed down and said, "Alas... I can't count on this little brat of mine to study."

Chu Yue said, "Da Zhuang is in good health and strong. He will be suitable for military service when he grows up."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Fengying was so happy that she nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, he is suitable for military service."

While we were talking, we arrived at school.

It is called a school, but in fact it is just a simple small bungalow. There is an open space in front of the bungalow. There is a flagpole with a five-star red flag hanging on it on the open space. That is the playground.

Chen Fengying took Chu Yue to identify people, and told them when they met someone they didn't know.

"This is our Captain Lu's daughter-in-law, she's new here, and this is Captain Lu's child..."

"Which Captain Lu? Is there another Captain Lu in our army? The most impressive Captain Lu!"

"We've met, so we know each other. Don't mistake me for someone else. We're from Captain Lu's family, and we're from the same compound..."

With Chen Fengying leading the way, Chu Yue saved herself a lot of trouble.

"Chu sister, come here - let me introduce you, this is the principal of the school -"
