Chapter 3 You even touched my muscles!

He hadn't seen her for three months and originally planned to go to Qingshui Village to find her after the performance review meeting.

Unexpectedly, she appeared in front of me before the performance review meeting even started.

Surprise! Unexpected!

He also harbored mixed feelings, including the desire to kill Wang Chengjun.

Chu Lulu gave him an "I knew it" look, finished the last boiled egg in two bites, then quickened her pace to walk alongside Xiao Jinli, asking, "Do you have time now?"

"I'm rich, it's my treat."

She patted her tattered military green bag, looking quite pleased with herself.

It's like a fawn eating its favorite leaf, a bright light shining in its watery eyes.

Xiao Jinli wanted to ruffle her hair, but he quietly lowered his hand after raising it slightly.

His approach was tinged with a cautiousness that he himself was unaware of.

"I have time."

"Chu Lulu, you're only three years older than me, so don't always refer to yourself as 'older sister'."

Hearing her refer to herself as "elder sister," a dark glint flashed in the depths of Xiao Jinli's eyes.

"Three seconds is still big!"

Chu Lulu looked smug, took a few quick steps, turned around and looked at Xiao Jinli, "You're not at a loss being my little brother!"

Whether it was because she had dealt with the scumbag or because she had just filled her stomach, she was in an exceptionally good mood and had the inclination to tease people.

She grabbed the handle and leaped down the steps in a clean and graceful motion, without the slightest hesitation.

As soon as she jumped down, Chu Lulu immediately felt a chill rush straight to the top of her head!

"Ouch—it's so cold!"

Xiao Jinli quickly went over and draped the cotton coat that was draped over her arm over her shoulders.

He had specially picked up a new cotton-padded coat from the logistics department before coming to the commander's office; it was also the smallest size cotton-padded coat in the army.

"Do you still want to freeze?"

“It’s far from the city center, I’ll take you there on my bike.”

He pushed the bicycle to the side, brushed the snow off the back seat, and said, "Get on."

Chu Lulu didn't care, and jumped into the back seat.

After the man and woman rode away, Wang Chengjun emerged from the shadows, narrowed his eyes, and wondered how the two of them had gotten together.

Could it be that the two of them have been having an affair for a long time?

Chu Lulu is timid and cowardly, but good-looking, naive, and rich.

The villagers have no experience; they consider a wedding a simple affair with a banquet.

He registered his marriage with Xiuhong at the military region and held a banquet with Chu Lulu in the village.

One would ensure he never had to worry about money, and the other would allow him to rise through the ranks—a win-win situation.

Xiao Jinli!

He ruined his own plans.

Wang Chengjun gritted his teeth inwardly, a sinister glint in his eyes.

The individual business economy has now been established, but development is slow in the north. The streets are filled with small shouts of vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes, cotton gloves, and cotton socks, but the shops on both sides of the road are all closed.

"Xiao Xiao is here?"

"What would you like to eat? Your sister-in-law will have the chef make it for you."

Xiao Jinli lowered the curtain and replied with a light laugh, "Sister-in-law, let's take a look first, and we'll tell you when we've chosen."

"Alright, you can take your time watching. I'll have the head chef set up the fire." The woman looked at Chu Lulu curiously. She was so petite and delicate, and she was wearing a pure white... mourning cap?

"What would you like to eat? Braised fish? Steamed fish?"

State-run restaurants are not what they used to be. With the increasing number of street vendors, their business is declining.

Previously, only those with a note from a leader could order food at state-run restaurants. Now, anyone can order food; otherwise, there will be no revenue, and these people will face layoffs.

"I'll treat you to dinner, you can order."

Chu Lulu waved her hand dismissively, but stared at Xiao Jinli with even greater curiosity.

He seems to know himself very well?

He knows her name, her age, what she likes to eat, and can even see through her disguise.

Should they know each other?

"We've already ordered."

Xiao Jinli walked over, met her gaze, and touched his face. "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"Have we met before?"

She doesn't like wasting time; her question was too direct!

While in the army, she suspected that the two knew each other, but she was certain that she had never met Xiao Jinli.

Although she was a time traveler, when she transmigrated, she was still a baby who couldn't remember anything, and she hadn't awakened any memories of her past life.

Everything she experienced was her own story.

He had no recollection of Xiao Jinli at all, so it couldn't be that he had mistaken him for someone else; it must have been that Xiao Jinli was disguising himself at the time.

Xiao Jinli took off his cotton-padded coat, then pulled up the sleeves, revealing an ugly scar on his armpit. "Do you remember now?"

Three months ago, he was on a mission when he was ambushed and relentlessly pursued.

He fled to Qingshui Village and met a little girl who was picking mushrooms on the mountain; that girl was Chu Lulu.

"It's you? The little mute?"

Isn't he a little mute?

He didn't say a word at that time!

Hearing the familiar address, Xiao Jinli no longer had the strength to correct her. "I was drugged and am unable to speak."

"I know!" Chu Lulu nodded naturally. She had been interested in medicine since she was a child, and after awakening her memories, she realized that it was something she had always known.

When I took the little mute boy's pulse, I knew he was poisoned, and it was a kind of neurotoxin. If it weren't for his strong willpower, he wouldn't be able to speak, and his entire nervous system would be sluggish.

"You know that, yet you still call me that?"

"You did a lot of harm to me back then, and now you're pretending not to know me."

"Chu Lulu, how could you be so cruel!"

Thinking of what she had said when she was teasing him, his face flushed red. "Don't move, or I'll kidnap you and make you my bandit king!"

At that time, he had lost his sight and could not speak, but his hearing was exceptionally sensitive.

Three days later, when he left Qingshui Village, he remembered her outline. It was just a blurry outline, but it was enough for him to recognize her at the entrance of the military area.

"Oh dear, why are you blushing?"

"I never said I didn't believe you. Look at you, why are you all red with anger?"

"I fed you medicine and gave you injections for those three days. I was both your father and your mother. Otherwise, how could you have recovered so quickly?"

That neurotoxin was no ordinary poison. Xiao Jinli's entire body turned black at the time. If she hadn't administered acupuncture and medicine, he would probably be reporting to the King of Hell by now!

Chu Lulu proudly recounted her achievements, making Xiao Jinli grit his teeth in anger.

"yes!"

"You even took off my clothes and touched my muscles!"

Are all men this age so immature?

Being young means you can't keep your composure.

Chu Lulu rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

"How can I give you acupuncture if I don't take your clothes off?"

"How can I pinpoint acupoints without touching your muscles, cough cough?"

The first sentence was righteous and awe-inspiring, but the second sentence gave off a feeling of guilt.
