Lu Shengye was momentarily stunned when he saw that the person who came was Jiang Xuan.

He never expected that they would meet again.

However, he didn't know why she wanted to see him, and was even willing to risk her reputation by saying she was his fiancée.

Today, she was wearing a faded yellow Peter Pan collar pullover shirt and black coarse cloth pants. On her small face, which was no bigger than a palm, her eyes were as black as obsidian, and her small mouth was red and moist under her upturned nose.

In the sunlight, she was so white she seemed to glow.

Lu Shengye felt his throat was a little dry, so he coughed awkwardly and asked, "How's your wound?"

The girl's eyes were clear. "Thank you. It doesn't hurt as much anymore. I really didn't expect that you were the person I was looking for."

"Who are you? What do you want with me?"

“Oh, wait a minute,” Jiang Xuan said, trying to control her racing heart. She took out the medal and said, “My name is Jiang Xuan, I’m 19 years old, and my home is in Hongxing Village, Qinshui. This was given to me by my grandfather. He told me to give it to you because he arranged a marriage for me years ago, and the man is you.”

Upon hearing the word "man," Lu Shengye felt his ears burning and coughed awkwardly again.

He took the medal and carefully stroked it.

This definitely belongs to his grandfather, Lu Rongde. He obtained it during a very important battle, and he had seen it when he was a child.

He had also heard his grandfather mention that past event.

Years ago, my grandfather was saved by his old comrade-in-arms Jiang Mengyuan. After Grandpa Jiang retired from the army and returned home, the two continued to correspond.

To perpetuate their deep friendship, the two arranged a marriage between their grandson and exchanged military medals as tokens of their affection.

His grandfather once told him that if the Jiang family girl was really willing to marry him, he must treat her well.

If the girl has other ideas, he can't force her to do something against her will.

They owe the Jiang family a favor.

But so many years have passed, and the Jiang family has never contacted them. He simply assumed that the girl had already gotten married and didn't take the matter to heart.

He looked at Jiang Xuan and asked, "Are you Grandpa Jiang's granddaughter?"

Jiang Xuan nodded.

"Come with me first."

After saying that, Lu Shengye took the handbag from her and strode forward.

Jiang Xuan quickly followed.

Originally, Jiang Xuan was still bothered by the fact that she didn't have any cheat codes when she transmigrated, but who would have thought that God would give her such a big surprise.

The first person I ever fell for was actually my fiancé!

The provincial military region was very large, but Jiang Xuan didn't care about anything else. She followed closely behind Lu Shengye, only secretly staring at the tall figure in front of her and grinning foolishly.

With years of training, you must have abs, and they must feel great to the touch.

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but squeeze her hands together.

Physical strength and core strength... must be pretty good too.

In her past life, one of her roommates dated a soldier. They would go out every holiday and come back with a sore back and weak legs that took several days to recover.

Thinking about the happy life that was about to come, Jiang Xuan, who had been single for 22 years, felt her face flush.

Excited.

"Um." Lu Shengye suddenly stopped, and as soon as he turned around, Jiang Xuan bumped into him.

Jiang Xuan quickly cleared her mind of all distractions and took a step back. "Sorry, I walked too fast."

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you're hungry? Would you like to get something to eat first?"

Following the direction Lu Shengye pointed, Jiang Xuan saw the military canteen.

It wasn't even noon yet, and she was about to be a little sentimental when her stomach let out two rumbles.

Ugh, these past two days on the train have been so miserable. Last night I ate a bowl of incredibly bad noodles near the station, and this morning I rushed to catch the bus at around 6 a.m. without even having breakfast.

She was starving.

She touched her head sheepishly, "Well then, let's go get something to eat first."

"Let's go."

The two entered the cafeteria, which was simple but clean and tidy.

Long wooden dining tables and benches are neatly arranged, and some posters hang on the wall, mostly with slogans about saving food and taking care of public property.

There were few people in the cafeteria, only a few chefs were busy.

"You find a seat first, I'll go get the food." Lu Shengye put his handbag on the stool and walked towards the window.

Jiang Xuan found a seat by the window.

A short while later, Lu Shengye came over carrying two large white bowls.

One bowl contains white rice with braised pork with potatoes, shredded pork with chili peppers, cabbage, and glass noodles; the other bowl contains mung bean soup.

"Today's meal is rather simple, please bear with it."

Jiang Xuan took the bowl and chopsticks and thanked him softly.

Seeing Lu Shengye sitting opposite her, Jiang Xuan asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'll eat later."

Jiang Xuan very ladylike picked up a piece of potato and put it in her mouth.

Lu Shengye asked, "How is it? Is the food to your liking?"

Although the taste cannot compare to the delicacies of later generations, it was already quite good for this era.

Since transmigrating, she hasn't had a proper meal. During her two days at the Jiang family home, they did hold a banquet for her grandfather's passing, but the filial sons didn't get a chance to attend.

Those seated at the table were like hungry wolves, practically licking the bowls clean.

She ate dry steamed buns for two days.

"It's quite delicious."

Although she longed to devour her food, Jiang Xuan tried her best to appear ladylike in front of the person she liked.

Men, they all fall for that.

"Hey, isn't this Platoon Leader Lu?" a clear voice called out.

Jiang Xuan looked over and saw a young girl in military uniform with short, ear-length hair walking over.

Lu Shengye nodded.

Zhang Xiaowen looked at Jiang Xuan with ill intent. She had delicate features, but with such old clothes and such a rustic bag, she must be a country bumpkin.

When did the Lu family start having such poor and shabby relatives?

However, given the Lu family's status, they would be eager to curry favor with anyone, no matter how distant or distant, as long as they are even remotely related to them.

Zhang Xiaowen despises this kind of person!

She smiled and said, "I don't think I've seen this comrade before, have I?"

Before Jiang Xuan could speak, Lu Shengye succinctly said, "Friend."

Jiang Xuan was a little disappointed, no, she was very disappointed. She had thought he would say she was his fiancée.

friend?

What the heck is a friend?

Jiang Xuan suddenly lost her appetite.

Is her love story going to end before it even begins?

Zhang Xiaowen smiled and nodded, saying, "Platoon Leader Lu, your friend just came from out of town, right? What are your plans for tonight? Would you like to stay at my dorm?"

"Need not."

Lu Shengye's tone was devoid of any warmth, and Zhang Xiaowen said awkwardly, "Oh, okay, you guys eat, I'll go first."

After Zhang Xiaowen left, Jiang Xuan put down her chopsticks and stood up.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm stuffed."

Jiang Xuan's tone was indifferent, which Lu Shengye found a bit inexplicable.

Everything was fine just now, what happened all of a sudden?

He didn't do anything, did he?

Just as the two came out of the canteen, a dark-skinned young soldier hurriedly ran over.
