Chapter 105

Jian Lu hung up the phone, paid the bill angrily, and then turned back to the dormitory.

She had just finished a two-day final exam and now only had the last day left. But the dream she had this morning kept bothering her. The scene of Cheng Zheng falling off the boat was too real. Even though Xu Lang repeatedly assured her that Cheng Zheng was fine and not injured at all, she still felt something was wrong the more she thought about it.

Usually when Cheng Zheng is not in the office, Xiao Zhao helps to answer calls. Why is it Chief of Staff Xu who is here today?

Besides, Chief of Staff Xu seemed to know what she was concerned about and repeatedly emphasized that Cheng Zheng was not injured, which made her feel like he was trying to cover up something.

Jian Lu was very nervous, but luckily she had a good foundation, so she performed well in the exam. After finishing two exams in one day, she called Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao was simple-minded and could not stand being deceived. Jian Lu managed to get the fact that Cheng Zheng was injured from just a few words. Now thinking about it, it was obvious that Cheng Zheng had asked Chief of Staff Xu to tell the lie that morning.

Although he certainly didn't want her to worry, Jian Lu still became angrier and angrier. She hung up the phone, went back to the dormitory, and went straight to bed.

Turning resentment into motivation for the exam, Jian Lu performed extremely well on the last day of the exam. She was fully focused, wrote with great concentration, and even handed in the paper early.

She was still thinking about whether to change her train ticket to go home. Originally, she bought a train ticket to go home the day after tomorrow, but because Qiu Cuiping had a special exam tomorrow, her roommates decided to accompany her for one more day. But now Cheng Zheng was injured. Jian Lu was angry that he had kept it a secret from her, but she couldn't help but worry.

Maybe this is the result of worrying too much, and it is hard to tell whether I am more angry or more worried.

"Lulu, let's go back to the dormitory and prepare something for Cuiping!" Hao Yue, who had handed in her paper a little later, called her, and several people pulled her to the dormitory together.

Jian Lu didn't bother herself anymore. It was highly likely that she wouldn't be able to exchange the ticket at this point, as all the train tickets were probably sold out. So she decided to leave the day after tomorrow as originally planned, and accompany Qiu Cuiping to finish her exam tomorrow first.

Qiu Cuiping has always had a wish, which is to make up for the one and a half years stolen by Qiu Yanling and to study in the same classroom with classmates from Class 77 one day.

This semester, she applied to Li Biyun for an exam. The department will arrange a separate exam for her to test whether she can catch up with the progress of her junior year. As long as she passes the exam, she will be able to return to the class of Class 77 at the beginning of the next semester.

Qiu Cuiping has been working hard for this for a year, almost forgetting to eat and sleep every day, and her efforts are so heartbreaking that other roommates feel sorry for her.

"Cuiping, you will be fine, don't worry." After returning to the dormitory, Hao Yue encouraged her.

"Yes, don't be nervous, just perform normally." Jian Lu had previously sorted out the knowledge points from freshman to junior year for Qiu Cuiping and asked her to review them mainly. She knew that with Qiu Cuiping's talent and hard work, there should be no problem.

"We are waiting for you to come back!"

Qiu Cuiping looked at her roommates, clenched her fists and nodded. She cherished days like this very much. "I will definitely pass the exam."

This special exam lasted only one day and was very intense. There were four exams in total, which mixed subject knowledge. Qiu Cuiping first took the normal final exams for the first three days, and then took a one-day special test. After all this ordeal, she felt dizzy and almost fainted.

After Qiu Cuiping came out of the examination room, several roommates rushed over to her. They didn't ask her how she did on the exam, but just invited her to go out for a meal to celebrate.

No matter what the result is, it's finally over!

At this time, students in the school were already preparing to leave, and many had even boarded the green trains on their way home.

Jian Lu and her group of six went to the state-owned hotel in a mighty procession. They all shared the cost of the meal, and as for the food coupons, they exchanged them with classmates.

Six people ordered four dishes and one soup, including salt-baked chicken, ants on a tree, steamed fish, twice-cooked meat, and spinach, scallops and clam soup, in addition to a bowl of rice per person.

The food in the state-owned hotel is naturally a hundred times more delicious than that in the cafeteria, and everyone enjoyed it to their heart's content. For Hao Yue, this was a luxury, but everyone was happy today, so they had to get along with each other for once.

When the meal was half over, Song Guilan asked about Jian Lu's abnormal behavior in the past few days. She noticed that Jian Lu was a little different in the past few days. One day, she made several phone calls and seemed to be in a bad mood when she came back.

Jian Lu was with her roommates and did not hide anything. She told them about her relationship with Cheng Zheng right away, but she did not mention anything about military secrets. She only said that her man was accidentally injured and did not tell her.

"Hey, I thought it was nothing." Hao Yue didn't care. "It's okay if he's injured. As long as he's still alive and kicking, it's fine. As long as it's not too serious, there's no need to worry too much."

Jian Lu couldn't tell her that maybe it was an accidental discharge of a gun. She was indeed a little worried. After all, whether the minor injury mentioned by Cheng Zheng, a tough guy, was really a minor injury or not was still debatable.

Song Guilan disagreed, "Then you should go back earlier and pay more attention to your husband."

"I'm still mad at him." Jian Lu thought, even if she wanted to go back early there were no tickets left, so she still had to leave tomorrow.

"Sister Lulu, you should come back tomorrow. However, you have been married for so many years, and it seems that your relationship is still good." Sun Shangmei thinks differently. While others are talking about the couple's conflict over the injury, her focus is very strange.

"Xiaomei, how did you come to this conclusion?" I swear to God, Jian Lu is a low-key person and never shows off her affection in front of her roommates. She doesn't have this habit.

"How can an old couple still be angry about this? They don't feel anything anymore. They don't care whether he gets hurt or not, or whether he hides it from themselves or not." Sun Shangmei has never had a boyfriend, but when it comes to matters of love between men and women, she's surprisingly knowledgeable.

Hao Yue agreed deeply and patted his chest, "Yes, that's what I do."

Jian Lu blushed and thought, okay, I still want to be too nosy.

The six people in the dormitory stayed in the school for another night, and went to the train station to return home the next day.

Jian Lu, Qiu Cuiping and Li Suihua all took the morning train. The three of them traveled together and parted at the train station.

"Bye, see you next semester!"

Listening to the clanking sound of the green train, Jian Lu dozed off for a while on the hard seat while holding her luggage. She opened her eyes half-heartedly when she heard the whistle of the train arriving at the station.

As soon as she got off the train, the joy of summer vacation came over her, but when she thought of Cheng Zheng, she felt an indescribable emotion...

Carrying her suitcase out of the station, she was going to have lunch at the state-owned hotel and then go to the pier to take the ferry back to the island. However, as soon as she walked outside the train station, Jian Lu saw a man wearing a white navy uniform, standing as straight as a pine tree.

Cheng Zheng was standing at the exit of the train station, looking at her with burning eyes, but what Jian Lu saw at first sight was the gauze on his arm.

Seeing the man walking towards her quickly, Jian Lu became more and more confused, "How do you know I'm on the train at this time?"

Before Jian Lu had the chance to tell Cheng Zheng which day she bought the train ticket, Cheng Zheng concealed his injury from her. The two of them got angry on the phone while the other apologized, and in the end, neither of them mentioned the train ticket.

"How you know about my injury is the same as how I know which train you bought."

"Did you call Xiaomei to ask?" There was no need for others to think about it. It was this little girl, Sun Shangmei, who loved to get involved in this kind of thing. She might even think that she was the mouthpiece for the two of them and was enjoying it.

Cheng Zheng didn't respond. He just used his uninjured left hand to take the suitcase from Jian Lu. "Xiao Zhao told me everything. He's really quick to talk."

Jian Lu held the handle of the suitcase tightly and pushed Cheng Zheng's left arm. She didn't need this injured person to carry her suitcase. "Take a rest. Let me see if your injury is serious."

"It's not serious." Cheng Zheng moved his right hand slightly, very relaxed, "It's just that the nurses at the hospital made a fuss and insisted on covering it up."

Jian Lu glared at him when she heard this. "Aren't nurses doing this for your own good? Do you think you are right as a wounded soldier?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Cheng Zheng saw that his wife finally showed some emotion. Even if she was angry, it was better than the cold and indifferent attitude she showed when she saw him just now. "I was wrong. I accept the criticism from the organization."

Jian Lu was worried and gently touched the place where he was wrapped in gauze, and she felt a little distressed. In fact, since the two got married, Jian Lu was always worried every time Cheng Zheng went back for a mission or participated in some battles, even though it took a long time, as if people could always get used to it.

But many times, guns are ruthless. His profession is no different from others. It is too dangerous and can scare people if they are not careful.

Now that she was injured unexpectedly, how could Jian Lu not care?

"How did you get injured? You are such a capable person, yet you are still injured." After saying this, Jian Lu suddenly remembered that maybe she couldn't tell him, "If you can't tell me, forget it."

This time, Cheng Zheng did not hide anything, because the injury was purely an accident. He avoided asking what the injury was caused by, but he did tell the story of Qian Hongzhuo.

There was no way he wouldn't tell the truth, for he was worried that if Jian Lu heard about it, he would get scolded.

"Qian Hongzhuo?" Jian Lu never expected that this man would still resort to underhanded tactics. "Isn't this intentional attempt to harm you? Did your troops let him go?"

"No." Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu walked side by side and went to the state-owned hotel together. "Song Brigade complained to the leader and directly submitted a 1,000-word report, requesting an investigation into Qian Hongzhuo. His behavior is indeed strange."

"Will he..." Jian Lu thought for a moment. Could it be that this person was turned against her later? She was thinking about how to express it better so that Cheng Zheng would not suspect her.

"Don't worry about it. The specific troops will review it. No matter what, he will be punished."

Jian Lu's cheeks puffed up, and she took out all her anger towards Cheng Zheng for hiding her injury on Qian Hongzhuo. How dare this scumbag to plot against her man? He was so insidious. She had to recall the plot of the original book when she returned to see if there was anything else wrong with this man.

"Okay, why are you angry? I didn't suffer any loss. Even though I was caught off guard and got a few minor injuries, he was hurt more seriously than me and fell into the sea."

"Really?" Jian Lu thought of the dream in which Cheng Zheng fell off the boat, and told Cheng Zheng everything. "I was really scared at the time, mainly because the dream seemed so real, as if it happened right in front of me."

Cheng Zheng's pupils trembled. He did not tell his wife the details of his injury, nor did he mention that he almost fell off the boat. He didn't expect that his wife actually dreamed about it.

"I was tricked by Qian Hongzhuo at the time and almost fell off the boat. Fortunately, I was quick to catch myself."

"Really?" Jian Lu was shocked. What was this?

"How can that be said? Are we two in sync?" Cheng Zheng thought about it and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

Jian Lu took out her money and food coupons to order the dishes, then glanced at him, not knowing what was so good about this. She was still angry. Damn Qian Hongzhuo!

The dishes were served. Cheng Zheng was silent for a moment as he looked at the pig's trotters stewed with kelp, chicken feet with pickled peppers, and duck feet and taro stew on the table.

"This..."

Jian Lu said confidently, "You should take what you eat. Your hand is injured, so you need to take more supplements."

Cheng Zheng: "..."

Is this the right way to treat it? I feel like something is not right.

But he didn't dare to refute.
