Chapter 609 The Awkward Moment for the Young Couple
Liang He naturally knew why Wen Ni hesitated.
He chuckled and patted Wen Ni on the shoulder. "You silly girl, if you had told me earlier that your boyfriend was the Army Commander, I would never have let you risk your life with me!"
"You... you knew everything?" Wen Ni's neck turned slightly red as she tried to explain, "I never expected him to join the army, let alone meet him on the battlefield."
"Regardless of the twists and turns, the army commander was so enraged for the sake of a woman that he carried you back to his tent from the high platform in front of everyone. What's more, you've been staying in his tent all this time, so it's hard for me not to know about your relationship. Not to mention me, the whole army knows."
Hearing him say that, Wen Ni felt unusually shy!
Recalling the looks the soldiers had given her, her face grew increasingly red, whether from the sun or something else.
Indeed, Lu Jinye had been living in the same tent with her these days, but because of her serious injuries, the only folding bed in the tent was too crowded for two people, so Lu Jinye had been sleeping on the floor.
Only when he was waking up close to dawn would Lu Jinye climb onto the folding bed and hold her tenderly for a few moments...
She shook her head, trying to clear her mind of all those jumbled thoughts, and was about to continue nagging at Liang He.
Suddenly, Lu Jinye's unrestrained voice came from ahead!
"Wen Ni!"
"..."
Suddenly, everyone around... everyone's eyes were fixed on Wen Ni, their expressions a mix of smiles and goodwill.
This well-intentioned poke made Wen Ni look like a boiled shrimp!
Liang He, who was standing next to her, had already stepped back with a smile, leaving Wen Ni standing there alone.
It took her a while to finally grip the gun slung over her shoulder. She strode forward, as if she wanted to take two steps at a time, and headed straight for Lu Jinye. When she got there, she didn't even glance at him before opening the car door and getting in!
Lu Jinye was stunned for a second by her reaction, but when he noticed the amused expressions of the people around him, he immediately realized what was going on.
So his little girl was just shy?
Thinking this, he secretly raised an eyebrow and followed Wen Ni into the room.
"Set off!"
At a command, the fully equipped troops officially broke camp.
In the military green pickup truck traveling in the middle of the marching convoy, Lu Jinye and Wen Ni sat side by side in the back seat, while Lu Jinye's chief of staff, Wang Shuo, sat in the passenger seat, occasionally glancing at the two in the back seat with curiosity...
Wen Ni noticed she was being watched and, looking out at the wilderness outside the car window, broke the silence in the car with a somewhat dry expression.
"Where is Qin Yuan? I haven't seen him."
"Qin Yuan and Baron are in another car. They haven't seen each other for a long time, so they probably have a lot to talk about."
Lu Jinye sat upright against the back of the chair, but his hand, which had been resting on his knee, moved to hold Wen Ni's hand, which was casually resting on the chair...
In the rearview mirror, Chief of Staff Wang Shuo raised his eyebrows and looked away as if he had been electrocuted.
Wen Ni, like a startled bird, swiftly withdrew her hand!
"What are you doing? Behave yourself."
"..."
This time, Lu Jinye was speechless.
Why does her intimacy with him feel so distant and unnatural after only a few months apart?
"Wen Ni".
"ah?"
"Am I still your fiancé?" Lu Jinye's usually calm and collected tone was surprisingly full of insecurity as he asked!
Do you know what you're asking?
Wen Ni frowned, puzzled, and turned her gaze from the window to the man's sharply defined profile beside her.
He cleared his throat but didn't turn around. "These past few days you've been recovering from your injuries, and I've been handling matters on the battlefield. We haven't actually had much time to communicate. In fact, I want to know what you've been through these past few months trapped in the Burmese wilderness, the countless whip marks on your body, and..."
As he wiped her body again and again, he was repeatedly shocked by the shocking scars. He even closed his eyes, trying to imagine the scene at that time, hoping to empathize with her.
But he suddenly realized that asking her this question now would only force her back into the pain she had felt before, back to that desperate situation where she had nowhere to turn!
He shouldn't have asked, he shouldn't have asked.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's my fault." Lu Jinye changed the subject, his lowered eyes casting a shadow of self-reproach.
A fair, tanned hand, covered in scars, reached out and gently lifted his cheek, followed by a fleeting, light kiss.
He turned his head in a daze and saw Wen Ni's face, which was pretending to be nonchalant.
"The past is the past. If I were to tell you everything I went through, it would be a bit sentimental. I just want to tell you that all the pain I endured vanished the day we reunited. I am so happy to see you again, the one I have been longing for day and night."
"Wen Ni..."
"Besides that, I actually have a lot to say and a lot to ask. But we are still on the battlefield, and you and I have things more important than personal feelings to do. Right now, I only hope that everyone can be safe, win a battle, and return home safely!"
That's right, the war is not over, the dust has not settled, and our hearts are still hanging in suspense!
"Alright, we will definitely return safely and bring those with wolfish ambitions to justice and send them to the execution ground."
"Um!"
Wen Ni smiled gently.
That smile, reflected in the light streaming in from the window, was radiant and dazzling!
Chief of Staff Wang Shuo and his driver, who were sitting in the front row, heard their conversation and their eyes lit up with anticipation!
Returning home safely is the greatest wish of every soldier.
"Are we going to head straight for the capital now?" Wen Ni asked.
“Yes, but before we go to the capital, we need to meet up with the 93rd Army Group.” Lu Jinye nodded, his gaze deep.
When the capital city was mentioned, the heat on Wen Ni's face gradually subsided.
Lu Jinye's 85th Group Army has already captured several important cities in Myanmar, and now it has taken Fuping.
By all accounts, the Burmese army is a defeated force, with no core strength capable of resisting China. It's only a matter of time before China advances deep into the heartland. As long as the Burmese army doesn't surrender, China will never cease its advance!
On their way to the capital, they captured several small towns near the capital. Some of Dawa's generals were so frightened by the arrival of the 85th Army that they fled with their troops in advance. Therefore, Lu Jinye and his men made little effort and reached a hundred miles away from the capital.
As dusk falls, half of the setting sun hangs high in the west.
The 85th Group Army was resting on the outskirts of the capital, about 100 miles away. Wen Ni and Lu Jinye sat around a fire, with several sweet potatoes roasting in it.
They weren't afraid of being discovered by the Burmese soldiers at all, because Lu Jinye and his team had received intelligence that the Burmese army was in complete chaos, with some fleeing and others scattering! They were no threat whatsoever!
Lu Jinye was about to give Wen Ni a roasted sweet potato.
A messenger rushed over from behind, "Commander, the commander of the 93rd Army Group has arrived with a large force!"
"You've arrived just in time." Lu Jinye put down the sweet potato and nodded to Wen Ni. "Wait for me a moment, I'll go see them."
"good."
Wen Ni nodded, bending down to warm herself by the fire while looking up at the world around her.
Just as Lu Jinye stood up and took a few steps to the outer perimeter, several soldiers in military brown combat uniforms strode over!
The man leading the way walked with heavy steps. He was around fifty years old, with a resolute face and the unique bearing of a soldier. He must be Xie Zuwei, the commander of the 93rd Group Army.
Hsieh Tsu-wei greeted him with a smile and first shook hands with Lu Jin-ye!
"Lu Jinye, you've really launched a fierce offensive! The higher-ups have called several times to praise you to the commanders of our army groups!"
"We were just lucky." Lu Jinye smiled slightly and learned to say some flattering things. "Without the help of several senior figures who took the lead and provided support, we wouldn't have had such a smooth journey."
"Humble, too humble!"
As Hsieh Tsu-wei said this, a wide smile spread across his face.
His gaze slid down Lu Jinye's shoulder and landed squarely on Wen Ni, who was squatting in front of the fire behind him. After looking her over, he finally spoke and asked, "Is this the female soldier you saved on the battlefield of Fuping?"
