Chapter 13 A Brave Decision
When the movie ended, the two followed the crowd out.
Lu Yuxiu looked at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock, and then he realized that a movie could last so long.
Lin Xia thought the blind date was about to end, but she happened to hear him say, "It's almost twelve o'clock, why don't we go eat first?"
Lin Xia couldn't believe that time passed so quickly, so she nodded.
"There is a restaurant not far from here. Shall we walk over there?" Lu Yuxiu remembered that there was a restaurant a few hundred meters ahead.
This time, Lu Yuxiu deliberately walked on her right side. Even if she didn't look at him, she could feel his strong presence, which made her feel inexplicably safe.
The restaurant was bustling with people and the aroma of food filled the air.
Lu Yuxiu took her to a seat and handed her a piece of paper with a menu, letting her decide: "You order whatever you want, I'm not picky about food."
When Lin Xia heard this, she took the paper generously, saw that there were stir-fried vegetables and rice, and ordered a dish of shredded pork with fish flavor and a roasted chicken with chestnuts, and passed the menu to him: "You come."
When Lu Yuxiu heard her say that, he didn't hesitate to take the menu and ordered three more dishes and rice.
Lin Xia was a little surprised when she saw him quickly order three more dishes. She didn't know if he could really eat so much or if it was because of her.
Ever since she had witnessed the hardships of this era, she could not stand wasteful behavior and couldn't help feeling a little sorry.
After ordering the dishes, the two found a table and sat opposite each other. Their outstanding looks attracted the attention of people around them.
Lu Yuxiu thought for a moment, then started the conversation, saying in a relaxed tone, "Do you want to hear about what happened on the island?"
Lin Xia was looking at the surrounding environment when she heard a magnetic and gentle voice, and she immediately became curious about it.
Seeing the little girl looking at him curiously with clear and bright eyes, Lu Yuxiu suddenly felt a little nervous and his heart beat faster.
He cleared his throat and began to tell her about the interesting and special things on the island.
Lin Xia listened to him talking about every detail of the island in his magnetic voice and gentle tone.
Talking about the soldiers who had just arrived on the island and were unable to adapt to the environment and made a fool of themselves, he saw a hint of smile in his eyes.
As she listened, Lin Xia seemed no longer afraid to look at him.
Looking at his eyes looking at me, gentle yet firm, and listening to his description, it was as if I saw the beautiful Qiongzhou Island before my eyes.
Lin Xia sighed in her heart: If she missed this person, it would be hard not to regret it in the future.
When Lu Yuxiu saw the little girl smiling brightly because of the embarrassing thing, he felt as if he had eaten the malt candy that he loved most in his childhood.
If Fang Jianyi saw this scene, he would probably be so scared that his eyeballs would pop out. This was his taciturn Battalion Commander Lu, who was so expressionless that he scared his soldiers so much that they dared not move!
And Lu Yuxiu was completely unaware that the corners of his mouth were unconsciously raised. He just felt that he wanted to see the smiling face in front of him forever.
I couldn't help but remember those bad boys.
Practice more when you get back!
Qiongzhou Island, the sun is shining.
The soldiers who had just finished training felt a chill on their backs and panicked: How strange! It was as if Captain Lu was watching them just now.
It is obvious that Captain Lu is on home leave and is not in the camp!
The waiter called out that the meal was served and the man stood up to get it. Even though there were several plates stacked on top of the lunch box, his hand holding the lunch box was still steady.
The combination of meat and vegetables was very rich. This was the most sumptuous meal Lin Xia had had since coming here.
Lin Xia frowned slightly and looked at the bowl of rice with some embarrassment. She definitely could not finish the full bowl.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yuxiu was very sensitive to her emotions.
She knew it was impolite, but she thought it was shameful to waste food, so she said softly, "There's too much rice."
Lu Yuxiu looked at the rice in the little girl's bowl and said in a low voice, "Then give me some." Then he handed the bowl over.
Lin Xia picked up the chopsticks that had not been touched yet and pushed half of the rice over.
Lu Yuxiu looked at the remaining rice in her bowl and frowned slightly. She only ate so little. Wasn't she too easy to feed?
After resolving the difficult issue, Lin Xia started to eat in a good mood to see how the food in the state-owned restaurant tasted.
Looking up, she saw the handsome guy sitting opposite her. As expected, even the food tasted a little better. Lin Xia thought happily that it would be a very good choice to have such a person to accompany her for dinner in the future.
She touched her stomach and found that she had finished the rice, but she couldn't eat any more vegetables. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, ready to watch the man eat.
As if seeing her put down the bowl, the man's eyes flashed with surprise, "Have you finished eating?"
"Yeah." Lin Xia nodded. That was just the amount of food she could eat.
Seeing this, the man stopped asking questions and didn't say much. Even though he ate very quickly, his eating manners didn't look bad. He didn't smack his lips or make any indecent movements, and he finished the remaining dishes in a short while.
Lin Xia was stunned. She was worried about wasting the food, but now she had to doubt whether he was full.
After eating, they walked out of the restaurant.
Lu Yuxiu saw that the little girl looked a little sleepy, paused, and took the initiative to say: "I'll take you back."
The two got off the car near Lin Xia's home.
Lin Xia thought that it was over after he sent her here, but she didn't expect Lu Yuxiu to follow her down.
"I can go back by myself, you don't have to send me home." Lin Xia thought that Lu Yuxiu wanted to send her home out of politeness.
"Can we talk more?" Lu Yuxiu asked. After spending half a day together, he felt that it would be better to just leave it to her.
Now that he had made up his mind, he wanted to ask her clearly now. If she didn't want to, he wouldn't force her.
After hearing this, Lin Xia probably understood the efficiency of this era. The result can be obtained after the first meeting. If it is suitable, they will proceed to the next step. If not, they will look for someone else.
Looking at the man's handsome face, Lin Xia felt that they could still have a chat, so she nodded slightly and came to the river near her home.
It's noon and there are not many people walking around here, so it's a good time for conversation.
"Comrade Lin Xia, are you willing to be my partner?" The voice was low and deep, with a hint of subtle nervousness in the solemn tone.
The solemn and straightforward question was like a cannonball, which made Lin Xia a little confused.
She was shocked by the serious look in the man's eyes. It turned out that he could have such solemn and serious moments.
After coming back to her senses, Lin Xia weighed the situation in her mind and decided that in this era, a man’s conditions were already very good.
Even though she didn't know him very well, she had nothing to complain about, especially since he gave her a lot of freedom.
Before she died in her previous life, her short life flashed before her eyes like a passing scene. She felt endless regret for the things she had not experienced, the things she wanted to do but had never done.
After waking up, I saw a strange environment and I disguised myself carefully every day so that no one would notice that I was different.
She didn't have any aversion to him at all. On the contrary, she was often aroused by men's unintentional behavior. Thinking of this, she had already made a choice in her heart, "I do."
The little girl's voice was soft and tender, and just these words made her ears turn red.
When the soft voice reached Lu Yuxiu's ears, the surrounding noise seemed to be inaudible. He only felt as if his heart was hit heavily by something, like being reborn after suffocation.
After hearing the answer he wanted to hear the most, Lu Yuxiu forgot to hide the smile on his face.
When Lu Yuxiu saw the round and pink earlobe, his fingers moved imperceptibly, resisting the urge to pinch it.
The man raised his arm and saluted. Even without that outfit, he looked upright and stern. His eyes were exceptionally bright. He looked into Lin Xia's eyes and said firmly, "I will definitely treat you well! I will defend the country and protect you for the rest of my life."
Looking at the seriousness in the man's eyes, Lin Xia's heart trembled slightly at this moment.
In the future, no one would make such a solemn promise, and no one would easily believe a promise, but for some reason, when he said this, she inexplicably wanted to believe it once.
Seeing the emotion and trust in the little girl's eyes, Lu Yuxiu's mouth corners unconsciously lifted slightly, and he felt his heart swelling.
The two looked into each other's eyes, as if they could see into each other's hearts. The air became thicker, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats, and at this moment, they danced into a concerto.
No one mentioned going home at this moment.
It was not until someone passed by and glanced at the two of them that Lin Xia realized that they were standing there saluting stupidly.
The rosy glow that had just faded away rose again on the fair face.
"I'm going back."
Lin Xia said something and ran home.
