"But Lu Tuan, don't be sad! This is indeed hard to accept, but there are still ways. You can adopt! You can adopt an orphan from an orphanage, or you can have a child adopted from your siblings!"
"Even though there's no blood relation, at least you'll have someone to rely on when you're old, someone to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days. That's better than having no children at all, right, Lu Tuan? But I heard that you seem to be the only son in your family for the eighth generation?"
On the surface, Liu Dekai spoke with such regret that every word seemed to express his sympathy for Lu Zhengjun and his desire to find a solution for her. However, his true intentions were betrayed by his barely concealed smile.
He came here to mock Lu Zhengjun!
He deliberately made sarcastic remarks; he wanted to see Lu Zhengjun make a fool of herself; he was rubbing salt into her wounds.
What kind of concern?
It doesn't exist at all.
After saying that, Liu Dekai looked at Lu Zhengjun, trying to see the pain and disappointment on his face, and wanted to enjoy this moment and taste the feeling of trampling Lu Zhengjun under his feet.
However, Liu Dekai was destined to be disappointed.
Lu Zhengjun's face showed only a cold smile and disdain.
"Liu Dekai, you seem to be quite relaxed?" Lu Zhengjun said with a smile. He even relaxed a bit, shifting his weight to his left foot, looking very leisurely and relaxed.
Pain? Loss?
It doesn't exist at all.
"What do you mean?" Liu Dekai was a little confused by his reaction.
But then he realized that Lu Zhengjun must be putting on a brave face!
It's just a facade!
What man would remain so calm and composed after learning he is infertile?
If someone brings it up afterward, they'll definitely be furious or feel humiliated!
Therefore, Lu Zhengjun must be faking it; he's just putting on a brave face!
"What do I mean? Hehe..." Lu Zhengjun laughed again, his expression playful, but what he said was not funny at all, at least not to Liu Dekai.
"Liu Dekai, you're a deputy battalion commander, and all you do all day is gossip? Gossiping is understandable, but why are you always watching me, worrying about whether I can have children, suggesting I adopt a child, and worrying that no one will take care of me in my old age?"
"What, you think you're my wife?"
"If others heard this, they would misunderstand and think, 'How could I marry a wife like you?'"
"Oh, I forgot! So our Deputy Battalion Commander Liu is married? Well... have you been in the army for so long that you think every man you see is handsome? What about your wife?"
"Does Commander Mo know about this? If he finds out how pitiful her daughter is, you're in big trouble!"
"You—" Liu Dekai was instantly disgusted, and he even took two steps back.
how so?
He was clearly there to mock Lu Zhengjun, so how did it become Lu Zhengjun questioning his orientation?
Such things are strictly forbidden in the military. If word gets out, whether it's true or not, it will have a very bad impact on him.
"Lu Zhengjun, don't talk nonsense! How can you be so disgusting? I'm not gay!" Liu Dekai shouted, looking like he'd just eaten shit.
"That's hard to say, who knows if you are or not?" Lu Zhengjun laughed even harder.
He originally said that to deliberately annoy Liu Dekai, and now that his goal has been achieved, of course he has to laugh.
"Who would spend all their time scrutinizing someone's injuries, their ability to have children, and their inability to have children? Where there's attention, there's love. Deputy Battalion Commander Liu is paying so much attention to me, could it be that he has a crush on me..."
"You! Shut up!" Liu Dekai was furious. He hadn't expected Lu Zhengjun to be so quick-witted.
"Hmph!" Lu Zhengjun's smile vanished instantly. She glared at Liu Dekai warningly before turning and leaving.
If Liu Dekai hadn't foolishly come up to her, Lu Zhengjun would have been too lazy to even bother with someone like him.
Liu Dekai, who remained where he was, was so angry that he was unrecognizable.
Why is it that Lu Zhengjun doesn't seem sad at all, and even argues back with sharp tongue, labeling herself as a homosexual in such a disgusting way? That's really going too far!
Liu Dekai felt resentful. How did Lu Zhengjun manage to do that? How could he not feel any pain at all?
Can a man who has lost the ability to reproduce still be considered a man?
What is there for Lu Zhengjun to be so proud of that he dares to challenge him here? He is nothing but a pathetic wretch who will not even have any descendants!
"Lu Zhengjun, keep pretending!" Liu Dekai said viciously, gritting his teeth. "I want to see how long you can keep up this act."
Everyone who doesn't have children feels terrible inside. If you pretend to be indifferent in front of him, he won't believe you!
Despite trying to convince himself that Lu Zhengjun was faking it, Liu Dekai was still disgusted by the accusations of homosexuality after his attempt to make fun of her failed. He was in a very bad mood.
He went back to work grumbling, and when he got home that evening, he complained about it to Mo Youyou again.
The young couple's relationship is pretty good right now, mainly maintained by teasing Lu Zhengjun and Su Yueya.
"Really? After you mentioned adoption and fostering, Lu Zhengjun didn't react at all?" Mo Youyou couldn't believe that Lu Zhengjun really didn't react at all to such hurtful words.
How could I not be anxious?
If this happened to her, she would be furious enough to tear anyone who mentioned it to pieces in front of Mo Youyou.
This is completely unreasonable.
"Yes, he even tried to frame me, but I didn't see anything wrong with him..." Liu Dekai said indignantly.
The thought of Lu Zhengjun calling him gay made him feel so disgusted that he got goosebumps all over his body.
"Impossible!" Mo Youyou refused to believe that Lu Zhengjun was indifferent to this. She subconsciously retorted, "Lu Zhengjun is definitely faking it. He doesn't want you to see that he's upset, so he's pretending not to care. That must be it!"
“Yes,” Liu Dekai immediately chimed in. He had thought Lu Zhengjun was faking it before, and now that Mo Youyou had confirmed it, he was even more convinced. “He’s faking it! I’ve provoked him like this, I don’t believe he didn’t feel anything!”
"Exactly, what man wouldn't care about something like this? It's really hard for him to act... He's clearly furious inside, but he has to pretend he doesn't care. He must be completely devastated inside!"
"I wonder if he'll be able to sleep at night, haha!"
The two of them then started daydreaming.
The story about Lu Zhengjun secretly crying in the middle of the night, and how she was always very nervous about what others were saying when she was alone in the army...
In short, they relied on imagining Lu Zhengjun's suffering to guess Su Yueya's suffering, and then compared it with their own happiness to gain a fleeting sense of satisfaction.
