"Let me help you." Lu Zhengjun had just gone to the kitchen to wash his hands. He took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It smells so good! What delicious dishes did you cook today?"
He felt that Su Yueya had spoiled his appetite.
People in the army say the mess hall is so-so, but he used to think it was okay.
I had a simple lunch today, and it was noticeably not as good as before.
"Braised beef brisket with tomatoes! I bought the beef brisket at the market this morning, and it looked especially good."
Su Yueya was overjoyed; she herself had almost been intoxicated by the fragrance just now.
Lu Zhengjun washed her hands and quickly took the dishes from Su Yueya's hands.
"Watch out, it's hot!"
She even knew to find a rag to keep it in place, but Lu Zhengjun just picked it up with her hands.
"It's okay, I'm tough."
Besides the braised beef brisket with tomatoes, I also stir-fried a small bok choy and added some homemade pickles that Su Yueya had made recently. The dish was sour, spicy, salty, and fragrant, making it especially appetizing and perfect with rice.
Lu Zhengjun could eat an extra bowl of rice just by eating some pickled vegetables.
The young couple sat down and began to eat dinner together.
They ate and chatted, exchanging what they had done.
They each only spoke what they could say.
Suddenly, Su Yueya mentioned Mo Youyou.
She thought that since they were both in the military, and Mo Youyou was the daughter of Lu Zhengjun's superior, he must know this person.
Ask him, and you'll find out.
"Mo Youyou?"
Upon hearing this name, Lu Zhengjun was shocked. Her hand holding the rice bowl clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged.
He told himself to stay calm.
"Crescent Moon, how do you know her?"
Lu Zhengjun panicked.
Could it be that Mo Youyou found out about the relationship between Liu Dekai and Yueya, and deliberately came to bully Yueya?
So... has Crescent Moon now learned the truth and regained her memories?
Even when facing the most formidable enemy, Lu Zhengjun had never been this nervous and panicked.
His unusual behavior did not escape Su Yueya's notice.
Could it be that Zhao Huijuan wasn't wrong about Mo Youyou, and that she really is someone you should stay away from?
"I ran into her when I went out to buy groceries this morning. She even accompanied me to the market. Later, I met Sister Zhao from next door..."
Su Yueya was very honest with her husband.
She told Lu Zhengjun everything in detail throughout the entire process.
After listening, Lu Zhengjun's heartbeat gradually calmed down.
Thankfully, it wasn't what he thought.
He was nearly scared to death by his own guess...
“That’s how it is…” Lu Zhengjun continued eating, trying to hide his earlier unusual behavior.
"Honey, so what kind of person is this Mo Youyou?"
"She...you heard what Sister Zhao said."
Lu Zhengjun did not want to comment further on Mo Youyou.
Because of her status as the daughter of a brigade commander, Lu Zhengjun did know her, but the two had no contact in private, and Lu Zhengjun did not want to judge a person based on rumors in the military.
Given the relationship between Mo Youyou and Liu Dekai, he felt it would be difficult for him to be objective and fair.
It's better to say nothing at all.
"Oh, I see."
Su Yueya did not press the matter further.
She placed a piece of tender, flavorful braised beef brisket into Lu Zhengjun's bowl.
"Honey, you should eat more!"
"good."
Neither of them brought up the topic again, and they started talking about other things.
Su Yueya pondered to herself.
If only one person says something bad about Mo Youyou, it's probably due to prejudice or misunderstanding.
But now two people—two people she trusts—are advising her to stay away from Mo Youyou, which means that Mo Youyou herself has some problems.
Listen to advice, and you'll have a full meal.
So even though Su Yueya didn't notice anything wrong with Mo Youyou, she still obediently agreed to Lu Zhengjun's request to stay away from Mo Youyou.
The next day.
During her break, Mo Youyou went to see Liu Dekai as usual.
They were already used to this way of getting along.
As long as both of them are in the military, they will inevitably see each other every day, eating, taking walks, and chatting together to strengthen their relationship.
"Dekai!"
Upon seeing Liu Dekai from afar, Mo Youyou jumped up and waved, her whole demeanor one of joyful celebration.
Liu Dekai waved in response to her.
Their relationship was never a secret in the military.
Mo Youyou is very high-profile, and she has the right to be.
“I told my dad about it when I got home yesterday. He’ll keep an eye on the doctor’s situation. I’ll let you know when I hear anything.”
"That's great! Youyou, thank you!"
Liu Dekai knew he had made the right choice.
If he foolishly insists on staying with Su Yueya, then who will take care of his mother's medical treatment now?
"Why are you thanking me? It's just... my dad is so annoying, I even had a fight with him recently!"
"Why did you argue with Uncle Mo?"
Mo Youyou felt very wronged and told him about how she tried to stand up for him but ended up being scolded by her father, trying to get the emotional value she wanted from Liu Dekai.
Upon hearing this, Liu Dekai felt that Mo Youyou was madly in love with him.
In his relationship with Mo Youyou, he had her completely under his thumb.
But actually, these are not the things Mo Youyou really wanted to say today.
"Oh, right, I also saw Lu Zhengjun's wife that morning."
Mo Youyou casually brought it up, then abruptly changed the subject.
"she?"
Liu Dekai immediately stopped in his tracks.
Realizing he had overreacted, he pretended nothing had happened and continued to lead Mo Youyou on a walk around the north playground.
Mo Youyou: "..."
