Besides, it's just him and Lu Zhengjun here, so there's no point in pretending.
Lu Zhengjun wasn't stupid; he could naturally tell that Liu Dekai's every word was aimed at Su Yueya.
If he were to say that it was all thanks to Su Yueya, Liu Dekai would immediately start pestering Su Yueya again, and he would never give him that chance.
"What does the speed at which my scars heal have to do with the doctor? It's just that I used scar removal cream," Lu Zhengjun said, using the same excuse to deal with other curious people.
When others hear this, they generally accept it.
But Liu Dekai is no ordinary person.
"Oh, really?" Although Liu Dekai was smiling, his expression made people feel very uncomfortable. He continued to ask, "Then may I ask, Commander Lu, where did you buy the scar removal cream? It works so well?"
"I just bought it on the way," Lu Zhengjun continued, dodging the question.
"Any store will do? Lu Tuan, don't be so stingy. If you have something good, you should share it with everyone, right?" Liu Dekai said with a fawning smile.
"Whatever is whatever, I really don't remember." Lu Zhengjun still didn't reveal any information.
Liu Dekai remained standing in front of Lu Zhengjun.
After a two-minute stalemate, Lu Zhengjun suddenly smiled.
"What, is Deputy Battalion Commander Liu not planning to let me leave today?" Lu Zhengjun asked, wanting to see what Liu Dekai was capable of.
"How could I? Commander Lu, I was just curious where you bought your scar removal cream. As a teammate in the army, it's not too much trouble for me to tell you, is it?"
"How can it not be difficult? I can't remember, but Deputy Battalion Commander Liu forced me to say, what is it if not difficult?" Lu Zhengjun asked.
Liu Dekai: "..."
He was furious, but he still had to put on a smiling face in front of Lu Zhengjun. He was extremely frustrated.
Having had enough of his contorted expression, Lu Zhengjun simply turned to the side.
Before turning the page, he specifically mentioned Liu Dekai.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, you still want to come? You really don't plan to let me go?" Lu Zhengjun said with a half-smile.
Liu Dekai: "..."
He knew very well that if Lu Zhengjun remained adamant about not revealing any information, there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, Lu Zhengjun's mouth is on his face, and Lu Zhengjun's rank is higher than his, so he really has no way to pry her mouth open.
Watching Lu Zhengjun's departing figure, Liu Dekai clenched his fists, his eyes filled with unconcealed anger and hatred, wishing he could pounce on Lu Zhengjun from behind and bite her to death.
On his way home, Liu Dekai kept thinking about this.
That scar removal cream you can buy at any random roadside shop is utter nonsense that even a three-year-old wouldn't believe!
Something's wrong, something's very wrong...
Lu Zhengjun must be hiding something from him, and it must be related to Su Yueya!
But he couldn't get him to talk, nor could he persuade Su Yueya to help treat his mother's health. What should he do?
What other options or tricks could he possibly come up with?
Liu Dekai was deep in thought, and when he got home, he sat on the sofa, still lost in thought, without uttering a sound.
"You're back." Mo Youyou didn't really notice; she was watching TV, engrossed in the exciting plot, and couldn't spare a glance for Liu Dekai.
Zhang Cuihua kept an eye on Liu Dekai and brought him a glass of cooled boiled water.
"Son, come on, have some water." Zhang Cuihua handed him an enamel cup.
But Liu Dekai hesitated to reach out and take it, still lost in his own thoughts.
"son?"
Seeing that Liu Dekai did not respond, Zhang Cuihua raised her voice and called out, "Son!"
"Huh?" Liu Dekai was startled, then came to his senses. "Mom, did you call me?"
Zhang Cuihua frowned, wondering why Liu Dekai seemed so absent-minded.
"I called you twice, why did you act like you couldn't hear me? Here, have some water!" Zhang Cuihua handed her the enamel cup again.
This time, Liu Dekai took it, gulped down a large mouthful, and wiped his mouth.
"Oh, I was thinking about something just now, so I didn't hear it." Liu Dekai put the enamel cup back on the table, his eyes still fixed on a certain spot in the void.
He was still thinking about it; the question was really puzzling him.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Cuihua was particularly concerned about Liu Dekai, after all, he was her own son and her only support for the rest of her life. "What happened in the army?"
Upon hearing the word "military," Mo Youyou glanced over slightly, but she didn't immediately respond. Instead, she listened intently.
"It's not about the military, it's about..."
Liu Dekai hesitated for a moment, but then decided to voice his doubts.
After all, Zhang Cuihua knows Su Yueya, and probably knows her even better than he does, so it's better for everyone to work together to find a solution than for him to figure it out alone.
“Mom, I suspect that Su Yueya has been hiding from us the fact that she cured your illness back then. She might really be amazing,” Liu Dekai said.
“Son, why are you bringing this up again?” Zhang Cuihua blinked frantically, trying to signal him.
She was afraid that Mo Youyou would become willful and throw a tantrum because Liu Dekai mentioned Su Yueya, causing chaos in the family.
Having just enjoyed a period of peace, Zhang Cuihua didn't want another conflict at home. She just wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life.
“I ran into Lu Zhengjun after get off work today. The scars on his face have faded even more, even more than before! I asked him what scar removal cream he used and where he bought it, but he wouldn’t tell me. I felt something was wrong!” Liu Dekai recounted what had just happened.
Upon hearing this, Mo Youyou felt uneasy again.
Has the scar on Lu Zhengjun's face faded again?
how so?
When they bumped into each other in the army last time, Mo Youyou noticed that the scars on his face had faded and the scars on his wrists had even disappeared. But she thought that was the final result. Who would have thought that the scars on his face could fade even more?
Will it eventually disappear completely, like the scar on my wrist?
Mo Youyou: "..."
On what grounds?
She, Su Yueya, deserves an ugly and terrifying man. Why should Lu Zhengjun's scar fade away like this?
“Son, do you think the reason his scars are fading isn’t because of the scar removal cream, but because of… the crescent-shaped mark on his face?” Zhang Cuihua guessed.
“Right! I’ve never heard of any scar removal cream that’s so powerful,” Liu Dekai then looked at Mo Youyou, who was watching TV, seeking her approval. “Youyou, tell me, have you ever heard of any particularly powerful scar removal cream that can cure scars like Lu Zhengjun’s?”
“It seems there really isn’t one,” Mo Youyou said.
The female soldiers also discussed this issue, but ultimately found that there was no answer.
“Mom, you see, even Youyou doesn’t know where this scar removal cream came from or how effective it is. So Lu Zhengjun must be lying and just trying to fool me. The one who really helped must be Su Yueya. It was Su Yueya who cured your body back then!” Liu Dekai said. He felt that his analysis made a lot of sense and that this was basically the case.
