The sudden whisper startled Shao Jingque.
She turned around with a start, and found that there was a man standing against the wall behind her.
As the man spoke, he took two steps forward and just walked under the street light.
It was not until she saw his face clearly that Shao Jingque suddenly realized what she had been forgetting - the series of melodramatic events that happened during her travels had made her forget about her ONS partner!
Moreover, when he left, he seemed to have asked her to wait for him here...
Shao Jingque raised the corners of his mouth slightly in embarrassment, wanting to smile and say hello naturally, but found that he didn't even know the other person's name.
Lu Zhan looked at her half-smile and snorted inwardly. She really didn't know who she was...
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Zhan."
Shao Jingque avoided his all-seeing gaze with a guilty conscience, and pretended to be calm as she reached out her hand to him:
"Hello Lu Zhan, my name is Shao Jingque."
Lu Zhan looked at the hand she stretched out, which was small and white, but his mind was inexplicably reminded of the touch of this hand restlessly rubbing back and forth on his chest not long ago, and he suddenly felt itchy somewhere in his body.
He quickly looked away, pretending not to notice her friendly gesture, and asked in a cold voice:
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me at Yue Mansion? Where have you been?"
Shao Jingque was already exhausted, and out of politeness she forced herself to exchange a few words with him. However, this man was not only rude, but also questioned her. No matter how good her temper was, she could not tolerate it.
"Commander Lu, I don't think I'm your soldier. Do I have to report to you where I go?"
Shao Jingque's half-smile made Lu Zhan's throat choke.
This woman... After he got his things, he rushed back and found that she had left. He wanted to go to the art troupe to find her, but he was worried that she would come back to wait for him at Yue Mansion. So he stood outside the gate of Yue Mansion for almost an hour. After waiting for her to come back with great difficulty, she was so ungrateful!
Lu Zhan's expression darkened.
"Then why are you standing in front of Yue Mansion with all these things instead of going home so late?"
The tone of the question was as hard as stone. Shao Jingque frowned when he heard it. He was about to retort that it was none of his business, but suddenly his peripheral vision caught sight of Lu Zhan in his military uniform, and his mind suddenly turned to another direction -
It's the 1970s now. She slept with someone and then ran away. Her behavior is really too unbelievable. This guy must be suspecting that she is an enemy spy and is interrogating her now, right?
Shao Jingque immediately straightened his attitude and answered sincerely:
"I moved out of the art troupe dormitory and was originally going to stay at a guesthouse, but I couldn't get in without a letter of introduction. So I thought I'd ask Miss Yue... to take me in for the night, but I didn't expect she'd actually slept with me..."
Yue Feiying is a lucky guy. When he traveled to the 1970s, he became a rich second-generation. But she, a woman with both beauty and talent, had to sleep on the streets on the first night after traveling through time. It's really infuriating to compare yourself with others!
A trace of doubt flashed through Lu Zhan's mind. He had moved out of the dormitory at this time and had no letter of introduction. Thinking about the few words he heard from the people in the room, he asked:
"Did you offend someone and get kicked out?"
His blunt question without any rhetoric made Shao Jingque feel a little embarrassed, and he said stubbornly:
"I don't want to live in that crappy place. What about you? Why are you here so late at night instead of going home?"
Shao Jingque's casual remark to change the subject made Lu Zhan's face suddenly feel hot for no reason - the reason he came back was not for her, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Lu Zhan pursed his lips and fumbled in his trouser pocket for a while, but still couldn't take the thing out.
"...Let's go. I'll take you to the military district guesthouse."
He hesitated for a moment and blurted out this sentence, which surprised Shao Jingque so much.
"Really? I can stay at the military hostel? Don't I need a letter of introduction?"
Lu Zhan nodded vaguely:
"Are you going?"
"Go! Why not go!"
Shao Jingque agreed without hesitation.
No one dares to pretend to be a soldier these days, and this military uniform is the most reliable proof.
Lu Zhan didn't say anything more. He reached out to take the bags from Shao Jingque's hands and walked straight to the front.
Shao Jingque looked at his back and no longer thought he was nosy or rude. Instead, she felt that he was extremely tall and majestic. She immediately followed him with joy, and chirped beside him like a little sparrow all the way.
Lu Zhan walked in front of her without looking around, leaving her with only a cold and hard jawline. When he heard her thank him for the eighth time, the corners of his tense mouth couldn't help but lift up a little.
Arriving at the military district guesthouse, the front desk recognized Lu Zhan at a glance:
"Hello, Captain Lu!"
He is so young, and yet he is the battalion commander?
Shao Jingque was secretly surprised. It seemed that there were always talented people in every era. She originally thought that Lu Zhan was at most a squad leader, but she didn't expect that he was actually a battalion commander.
Lu Zhan nodded and said to the front desk:
"Hello, is there any room available?"
The receptionist looked at him, then at Shao Jingque beside him, not being able to figure out the relationship between the two, and hesitantly said:
"...There's a room. Captain Lu, do you want to live there alone, or do you want this female comrade to live there, or do you all..."
Lu Zhan is young, promising, handsome and heroic. Apart from his aloof personality, he is almost impeccable. Many waitresses in the military guesthouse like to talk about him in private.
I haven't heard that Captain Lu has a girlfriend recently. What's his relationship with this beautiful girl?
At this moment, the front desk clerk's curiosity was burning, and her inquiring eyes kept moving back and forth between the two of them.
Lu Zhan frowned and said:
"She can live here, so just get a single room."
The receptionist nodded quickly, turned to Shao Jingque and said:
"Okay, then comrade, please show me your letter of introduction."
The smile on Shao Jingque's face froze. Didn't Lu Zhan just say that he didn't want a letter of introduction?
She looked at Lu Zhan somewhat bewilderedly. Lu Zhan's expression was a little unnatural, and he spoke for her:
"She... is my girlfriend. I registered her."
When these words were spoken, not only the receptionist, but also Shao Jingque was shocked and could not close his mouth.
What the hell is this guy talking about?!
Are you working so hard just to help her stay in a guest house?!
The receptionist was stunned for two seconds before coming to his senses and quickly said warmly:
"So it's my sister-in-law. Then Captain Lu, could you please provide me with your marriage certificate? I need to register it here, so I won't need to provide it in the future."
Shao Jingque was so embarrassed that he tapped his toes on the ground and lowered his head guiltily.
You see, after telling a lie, she has to tell another bigger lie to cover it up, just like Russian nesting dolls. It’s tiring enough for her.
Just now they just wanted a letter of introduction, but now they want a marriage certificate directly!
On the other hand, Lu Zhan's expression remained calm. He paused for a moment before pulling out a stack of things from his trouser pocket and handing them over.
"This is my household registration book and the printed marriage report."
