Later, Captain Qin found him and talked to him for a long time, but at first, he was unmoved.

Until she heard that Xiao Lu was being bullied, even though Xiao Lu had a brighter future than that person, that person wanted Xiao Lu to step down and go back to take care of her in-laws.

If Xiao Lu had agreed on her own, that would have been fine, but the other party didn't even ask Xiao Lu before making the decision for her.

But on what grounds?

Why can't Xiao Lu continue working here? If he needs to take care of himself, he can go back home and take care of himself.

The person he cherished so dearly was bullied like this.

He was naturally angry, but in the end he was persuaded by Captain Qin. He wanted to give it a try and see if Xiao Lu could accept him.

He was taking a gamble; if Xiao Lu didn't like him, he would give up his stable job in the military and become a guard at the base.

After all, without real power, there would be no chance for future promotions.

However, he felt it was worth it for Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu nodded in agreement upon hearing his words.

Xia Lu led his people through a maze of twists and turns, occasionally pointing out the places they were in front of them.

However, he couldn't continue speaking as the person in front of him kept staring at him with an unprecedented intensity in their eyes.

She felt a little uncomfortable. "Is there something on my face? Is it a grain of rice?"

She would be so embarrassed if there were any grains of rice in the food.

As she was about to raise her hand to wipe her face, the other person moved faster than she could.

He gently brushed his finger across the corner of her mouth.

Calloused hands brushed against Xiao Lu's delicate skin, leaving a slightly burning sensation where they touched.

Xiao Lu's heart started pounding involuntarily. Under the moonlight, his face was gentle, and his voice became magnetic.

"It's not a grain of rice, it's just a little dirty."

Xiao Lu was stunned for a long time without coming back to her senses. A breeze blew by, and she suddenly took half a step back, looking away slightly, not daring to meet the other person's gaze.

"You...you've familiarized yourself with things enough, I should go back now."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Fu Bo was left standing there, watching her go with tender eyes.

Xiao Lu quickly returned home. There was no one else in the room. Xiao Lu gently covered his chest.

"This guy is really something, why is he using the same methods he uses on mission targets on me?"

She slapped her face hard. "Wake up! Men look at dogs with such affection... No, isn't that just saying I'm a dog?"

Xiao Lu went to wash up with a black line on her face. Sigh, life won't be boring from now on. Someone will definitely start arguing with her.

We can't afford to lose again.

Xiao Lu secretly resolved that he must win in the future.

When Lin Chuchu woke up the next morning, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Xiao Lu looked like he was about to do something big, and he was very aggressive.

While eating breakfast, Lin Chuchu asked Captain Qin a question.

"What's wrong with her? Is she going to war with someone?"

Team Leader Qin shook his head. "I don't know. She became like this after she dropped Fu Bo off last night."

"I don't know what Fu Bo said."

Why does it feel like the atmosphere between the two of them is getting more and more strange?

Lin Chuchu didn't know what to ask, so she picked up the steamed bun and started eating it.

Today's steamed buns are filled with meat, and there's plenty of meat filling; you can taste the juice with every bite.

Lin Chuchu loves the steamed buns from this cafeteria the most.

Just then, Fu Bo and Researcher Qiao walked in.

Xiao Lu immediately puffed out her chest like a hen about to go to war.

He looked at Fu Bo provocatively.

Fu Bo greeted her with a smile, then turned to look at Lin Chuchu.

Good morning, Comrade Lin.

Lin Chuchu nodded at him, but before she could reply, Xiao Lu rolled his eyes at her.

"Sister Chuchu, he's a bad guy, don't talk to him anymore."

Lin Chuchu chuckled. Why did it sound a bit like he was jealous?

"Xiao Lu, don't talk nonsense. I just want to get along well with everyone."

Fu Bo gave an explanation and then went to get food with Researcher Qiao.

Over the next two days, Lin Chuchu felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was becoming increasingly strange.

Fu Bo seems to be starting to pursue Xiao Lu. He would bring her snacks, drinks, or popsicles from time to time, and he even remembered when Xiao Lu was on her period.

They would also bring her brown sugar water.

Xiao Lu accepted it very naturally; she ate whatever the other party offered her.

That's how it's always been; everyone buys food and shares it with each other.

Lin Chuchu shook her head; his pursuit of her hadn't been easy.

The days passed quickly, and Researcher Tian and Researcher Hou, though reluctant, had to return to work.

The two of them happily distributed candy to everyone.

Looking at the candy in his hand, Song Luobai moved closer to Lin Chuchu and whispered something.

"Sister Chuchu, the way they're doing this makes them look like a newlywed couple handing out wedding candy to everyone!"

Not to mention Song Ruobai, even Lin Chuchu felt awkward about it.

But if we don't send wedding candy, what can we send? We can't exactly send red eggs, can we? Wouldn't that be even more strange?

The two whispered strangely to each other, while the others congratulated them.

"Oh no, it looks even more like it now."

"Why do I feel like they're such a good match? Sister Chuchu, I suddenly feel so sorry for Sister Lingling."

Song Luobai looked like she was about to cry.

Lin Chuchu shook her head. "Don't think about it. The more I think about it, the more it seems to be true."

As everyone continued their research, a knock came at the door.

The base commander walked in carrying something.
