Chapter 159 Take off the uniform and leave the army
Even now, He Meijiao doesn't think she did anything wrong.
Her eyes were red as she looked at Lu Zhanlin with an accusing look. She choked up and shouted, "Lu Zhanlin, I have done so much for you. The capital is so great. I have a grandfather, classmates, a big house, and delicious restaurants... But I gave up all those things for you! I came to this godforsaken place just for you. It was all for you! And you won't even look me in the eye!"
"And that medic... You said the army needed medical talent, and just because of your words, I signed up without a second thought! Do you know how cold it is here in the winter? When I was out on a mission, my fingers were frozen and I got frostbite! It's the first time I've ever had frostbite in my life."
"I do all this for you, for you... I like you so much, why don't you understand? And that Chu Yue, how am I inferior to her? You're willing to marry a village woman, so why can't you look down on me?!"
He Meijiao's words were full of ridiculousness and pathos.
Not to mention Lu Zhanlin, even an elder like General He found it absurd.
If He Meijiao had only said the first half, Lu Zhanlin would have regarded her as the willfulness of a young lady and passed it by without paying any attention to it.
But He Meijiao actually pulled Chu Yue out and mocked her for being just a village woman. Lu Zhanlin's brows suddenly frowned together, and his expression revealed deep displeasure.
He Meijiao was unaware of all this and continued to cry and vent her inner grievances.
"Back in the field hospital, I stayed by your bedside 24 hours a day, taking care of you with the utmost care. Even a blind man could see that I loved you... I left the capital for you... I came here to suffer for you... Lu Zhanlin, I loved you so much. A girl like me did such a thing, and how could you not understand? What's so good about Chu Yue?"
Lu Zhanlin's expression became more and more ugly, even Commander He noticed it. He wanted to remind Lu Zhanlin to be more tactful. After all, He Meijiao was a lesbian, so he should give some face to the one from the capital.
But before Commander He could remind him, Lu Zhanlin spoke coldly.
"Everything you think you are doing is for me or for yourself. Can't you tell?"
He Meijiao was stunned for a moment, tears in her eyes, and she looked at Lu Zhanlin in shock as he spoke harshly.
Lu Zhanlin's cold and sarcastic words cruelly exposed He Meijiao's hypocrisy.
He said, "He Meijiao, stop being so self-indulgent. Your so-called dedication is just your one-sided thought and is worthless to me. Love is never a matter of one person, but a matter of two people loving each other. Don't you understand such a simple truth? And—"
Lu Zhanlin's eyes darkened, and his voice became even colder. "The army is a sacred place, and serving in the army is a glorious belief. If you weren't serving as a medic for the faith in your heart, you should have taken off this uniform long ago. He Meijiao, you don't deserve it!"
Lu Zhanlin not only belittled He Meijiao's feelings, but even her qualifications to be born as a human being.
He Meijiao's face turned pale and blue all of a sudden, and her eyes looked as if her pupils were shattered. She couldn't believe that such cruel words came out of Lu Zhanlin's mouth.
This man had absolutely no tenderness for her and treated her as worse than an ant on the roadside.
"Lu Zhanlin! You will regret this! I will definitely make you regret this! You, Lu Zhanlin, are not worthy of me, He Meijiao!"
He Meijiao let out an angry roar, pushed the door open, and rushed out of the office.
In a blink of an eye, the office fell into silence, with only Commander He and Lu Zhanlin left.
Lu Zhanlin stared at Commander He motionlessly.
Commander He knew that he was waiting for an answer and also for justice. After all, what happened to He Meijiao yesterday was really too much, and even Commander He couldn't protect her.
He nodded and said, "Just as you said. Take off the uniform, leave the army, and let her return to the capital."
Lu Zhanlin stood straight and saluted.
He turned around and was about to leave, but Commander He had no intention of letting him go.
Commander He narrowed his eyes, staring at the wound on Lu Zhanlin's lip with interest. "I never expected to hear the words 'mutual affection' from you. I thought you'd never talk about love in your life. Have you finally come to your senses?"
Lu Zhanlin naturally thought of Chu Yue and everything that happened last night, and the cold frost in his eyes melted unconsciously.
He said in a deep voice, "I learned it from you."
"You kid..." Commander He laughed instead of getting angry.
Commander He and Mrs. He are a model couple in the army. Who wouldn’t want to be like them, supporting each other and growing old together?
In the past, if Commander He heard what Lu Zhanlin said, he would definitely laugh at him. What you have learned is that the love and married life in this life cannot be learned so easily. It is achieved by living day by day.
It’s a pity that Commander He was in no mood to say these words to Lu Zhanlin today, and a hint of sadness appeared on his energetic face.
Commander He suddenly asked, "Is your wife home today?"
Lu Zhanlin was stunned, paused, and replied, "Ayue is at home."
After Commander He fell silent, Lu Zhanlin looked out the window. That direction happened to be the family compound. He wondered if Chu Yue was awake yet, whether she would be angry or embarrassed if she was awake, whether she had eaten the egg and brown sugar water, and whether the brown sugar he added was enough...
…
compound.
"Aunt He?!"
Chu Yue exclaimed in surprise.
When Mrs. He walked into the yard, Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao were squatting in the vegetable garden weeding. As the weather gradually warmed up, small green sprouts emerged from the hard black soil. Unfortunately, those were not crops, but weeds.
Not only do you need to weed, but you also need to mix the chicken poop left over from raising chickens in it and spread it in every corner. It is a pure natural organic fertilizer that can help the seedlings grow better.
So Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao were somewhat dirty.
Facing the gentle and loving Mrs. He, the mother and son rubbed their hands embarrassedly.
Mrs. He was the most calm and composed one, and asked softly, "Did I disturb you?"
"No." Chu Yue shook her head and immediately invited Mrs. He into the house, saying, "Aunt He, please wait a moment. I'll wash my hands."
It's impossible that the first time I meet Mrs. He, I smell like cow poop, and the second time, I smell like chicken poop. That would be too embarrassing.
Chu Yue felt rarely embarrassed.
She immediately took Lu Yuanbao into the house to wash their hands, and carefully used soap to wash away the odor on their hands before coming out.
