005

Lu Yuanqing quickly brought back a man whose appearance perfectly matched that of a thief, with shifty eyes and a thieving look. Then, under the guise of looking for the owner, he caught the other thief who had attempted to steal the money bag earlier and handed it over to the real owner (the stolen money bag had been stolen from someone else by the other thief). He then handed the two thieves over to the police patrolling the train station.

It has to be said that Lu Yuanqing's efficiency is top-notch. The whole process took no more than 5 minutes, leaving Yao Anhui, who had been watching the whole thing, in awe. Yes, although she was chatting with Wu Chengan and Jiao Jingming, she had been keeping an eye on Lu Yuanqing's situation out of the corner of her eye.

Yao Anhui could only say that a king of soldiers is a king of soldiers; his abilities are beyond question.

On the train, thanks to Lu Yuanqing and his men's military status, Yao Anhui was able to buy sleeper tickets. Or rather, that's not quite right, because they had already bought sleeper tickets before meeting Yao Anhui. In any case, Yao Anhui wouldn't have been able to buy sleeper tickets on her own; she could only get seated tickets.

Yao Anhui was very happy, otherwise he would have been really worried that the journey of the next three days and three nights would be too much for him. After all, she was so delicate now that she was probably the epitome of frailty. She gave people the feeling that she would be blown away by a strong wind. If she had to sit on the train for three days and three nights, Yao Anhui suspected that she would die on the train. She hadn't lived enough yet.

"Comrade Yao, these are our four seats. Which one would you like to sleep in?" Wu Chengan asked.

“Our four seats are all together. Comrade Yao, which seat do you want? Would you like to choose the lower bunk? It’s easier to get up and down from the lower bunk,” Jiao Jingming said from the side.

Lu Yuanqing glanced at Yao Anhui, who was surrounded by Wu Chengan and Jiao Jingming, then put down his luggage and silently went to make the bed.

Yao Anhui secretly observed that Lu Yuanqing first checked whether the quilts were clean and tidy. Perhaps he found that the hygiene did not meet his requirements, because his handsome eyebrows were all furrowed. After that, he frowned and tidied up all four beds.

The weather in the third month of the lunar calendar is neither too hot nor too cold, which is actually the best time to travel. The sleeper berths are equipped with blankets, especially since the destination is the cold north, so the blankets are quite thick. However, Lu Yuanqing has folded them into neat squares and put them aside.

Afterwards, Lu Yuanqing cleaned the mattress again. The area under the mattress wasn't as clean, but given the conditions at the time, it was impossible to get it perfectly clean.

However, Lu Yuanqing's good habit of cleanliness and hygiene greatly increased Yao Anhui's favorability towards him. So far, Yao Anhui has already noticed many of Lu Yuanqing's good qualities.

Among these qualities, the most commendable are being clean and hygienic, having a keen eye for things, and being a man of few words.

Yes, what Yao Anhui initially liked about Lu Yuanqing was that he didn't like to talk. She really didn't like talkative people. Now, in her mind, Lu Yuanqing was a man who didn't like to talk, loved cleanliness and hygiene, did better than he said, and whose height and appearance were quite in line with her aesthetic.

After cleaning up all four berths, Lu Yuanqing nimbly jumped down from the top bunk, landing without making a sound. Yao Anhui's eyes lit up; this skill would be incredibly useful for tracking people and gathering information.

"Brother Lu, how did you manage to jump from such a height without making a sound?" Yao Anhui asked, genuinely curious; her eyes were practically sparkling.

Lu Yuanqing felt his heart pounding and his ears burning as he was stared at by Yao Anhui's bright eyes. He didn't dare to meet Yao Anhui's gaze and could only focus his eyes on her cheeks.

"With more training, you'll develop skills," Lu Yuanqing said curtly.

What Yao Anhui didn't know was that this seemingly dull and unsmiling man was actually having a very rich inner world right now.

Comrade Yao is so beautiful. When she looks at me, her eyes sparkle, and I'm the only reflection in them. It's like I'm her whole world. Comrade Yao is also so cute when she smiles. She has two dimples. When Comrade Yao smiles, it's like she has magic. I feel like I'm getting drunk even without drinking any alcohol.

Yao Anhui has no idea that Lu Yuanqing, whom she has carefully chosen and who seems quiet and reserved, will become so talkative and clingy in front of her in the future, making Yao Anhui realize how infatuated she is.

While Lu Yuanqing was being delusional, Jiao Jingming and Wu Chengan weren't about to let him have all the credit. One of them said, "Comrade Yao, do you want to train her a bit? But female comrades aren't really suited for military training. They could learn Tai Chi or something similar to improve their health."

The person said, "Indeed, Xiao Lu is a former reconnaissance soldier. They undergo extensive training every day, so it's definitely not suitable for girls to learn."

Yao Anhui didn't know anything about scouts, but she guessed they were probably similar to the scouts of ancient times.

However, Yao Anhui was somewhat interested in Lu Yuanqing, but she hadn't decided yet that this was the one. Marriage was a serious matter, and she naturally had to choose carefully from various sources. So, she said with a forlorn expression, "I was born prematurely, and my body is indeed a bit weak..."

After saying this, Yao Anhui went to rest on her berth. She didn't choose the lower berth or the upper berth, but instead chose the middle berth, which was a better position for her to observe the three people.
