Chapter 259 There is no such thing as a peaceful life
After the meal, Lu Jianchuan wanted to help clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Old Mrs. Qiao.
Knowing that they haven't seen each other for a long time, they also have some private conversations.
Old Mrs. Qiao gave Lin Siqiao the key to the west wing and asked her to go over and help clean it up.
"The quilt and mattress are in the closet in your room. It's the light blue one at the bottom."
"There are two new towels in the middle drawer. Take them out for Xiao Lu as well."
Lin Siqiao nodded and led the person to the room on the west side, which was about the same size as the one she lived in now.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go get the blanket."
Lin Siqiao had just taken two steps when Lu Jianchuan grabbed her wrist.
Soon, Lu Jianchuan came closer.
Pinching her waist with one hand and pressing the back of her head with the other, Lin Siqiao was stunned for a moment, then reached out and put her arms around his waist.
Ever since Lu Jianchuan left, she has always felt empty in her heart.
He came back, and his heart finally settled down.
After a moment, Lin Siqiao raised her head. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Lu Jianchuan was particularly clingy this time when he came back.
"What's the matter with you?"
However, what she got in response was Lu Jianchuan's slightly aggressive kiss.
From the top of her head, to her forehead, to the tip of her nose, and finally to her pink lips.
“Hmm—”
This was not the first time the two had had close contact, but she soon discovered that something was wrong.
Lin Siqiao looked down subconsciously because its presence was too obvious.
I can feel it even through the thick fabric...
Lin Siqiao's face turned red and she whispered.
"Lu Jianchuan, you, you let me go first--"
“…”
"I'm sorry... I..."
There was an obvious hint of annoyance in Lu Jianchuan's hoarse voice, because he found that the self-control that he was proud of seemed not worth mentioning in front of the woman he loved.
And it was totally out of control.
After a long while, a sigh came from above his head. Lu Jianchuan let out a long breath and then let the person go.
"Xiao Qiao——"
Lu Jianchuan wanted to explain, but Lin Siqiao covered his mouth.
She is not someone who has no knowledge in this area. At Lu Jianchuan's age, it would be abnormal if she didn't think about it.
Lin Siqiao didn't mean to blame him, she just asked him to stop talking.
At this point, the more we talked, the more awkward it became.
Lu Jianchuan nodded, "Okay, I won't say anything more."
After the heat on his face subsided, Lin Siqiao stood up and walked around him.
As soon as the quilt and mattress were taken out, Lu Jianchuan took them over.
"I'll do it."
Lin Siqiao didn't compete with him for it. Lu Jianchuan had been in the army for ten years, and when it came to making beds and folding quilts, Lin Siqiao was not as good as him.
When Lu Jianchuan had made the bed, Lin Siqiao moved a stool and sat opposite him.
Because of what happened just now, Lu Jianchuan still doesn't dare to look her in the eyes.
Unexpectedly, Lin Siqiao said something shocking. She asked Lu Jianchuan to take off his shirt.
Lin Siqiao had seen this person only report good news and not bad news when he was in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
So now she is not sure what the slight pain that Lu Jianchuan mentioned means.
"Xiao Qiao, it really doesn't hurt anymore."
But the wound was still in the recovery period, and Lu Jianchuan was afraid of scaring her.
"Not taking it off?"
Lin Siqiao snorted coldly, "Okay, then don't take it off in the future."
After hearing this, Lu Jianchuan immediately admitted defeat.
The second before she left the room, she stopped the person.
In no time, Lu Jianchuan took off his shirt, revealing his strong and muscular upper body.
"Xiao Qiao, I'm really fine..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Siqiao yelled at him for the first time, "Lu Jianchuan, do you think I'm stupid? Turn around!"
Lu Jianchuan had no choice but to turn his back.
When Lin Siqiao saw that there was not a single piece of good flesh on his entire back, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Although more than ten days had passed since he was injured and most of the wounds on his back had been sutured, it still looked shocking.
"Don't be sad, it really doesn't hurt now, I swear."
Lu Jianchuan walked forward and pulled her over. This time he was very calm and just held her in his arms, not daring to move.
Lin Siqiao lowered his eyelids, not wanting to look at him, and just asked, "How did these injuries come about?"
"Some were scratched by bushes when landing on the island, and some were hit by rocks."
Lu Jianchuan just mentioned it briefly, but Lin Siqiao grasped the key information.
"You...you fell into the sea?"
What's the difference between soaking a wound like this in sea water and directly sprinkling salt into the wound?
How could this not hurt!
Seeing that he could not hide it any more, Lu Jianchuan could only nod and honestly confess what had happened before.
In the early morning of the 1st, just when Lu Jianchuan and his team were meeting up with the support personnel, flares suddenly lit up on the sea.
Lu Jianchuan knew how wide the range of military flares was.
Under the circumstances at that time, they had no choice but to jump into the sea and leave the sampan.
Sure enough, not long after Lu Jianchuan gave the order, the sampan they were on was sunk by the enemy's naval guns.
In the vast ocean, the closest island to them is only Linjiao Island.
However, there were enemy troops stationed on the island and pursuers at sea. After thinking for a moment, Lu Jianchuan decided to take his comrades and swim to 0 nautical miles to the left of Linjiao Island.
There is a reef there, with many gullies underneath. Lu Jianchuan and his team have been training for a long time and have long been accustomed to this environment.
Without guns, they still had bayonets.
Even though they had lost their bayonets, they still had the reefs.
All the field army soldiers were ready to die. After the two sides had been fighting for more than three hours, the Chinese reinforcement fleet finally arrived.
Recalling that life-and-death night, Lu Jianchuan was relieved that they all came back alive, but he also felt indescribably heavy.
"Xiao Qiao, these injuries and the pain are really nothing."
"Compared to those who left their lives on the battlefield, we are lucky to be able to come back alive."
Hearing this, Lin Siqiao also fell silent.
Although the battle lasted only two days, a total of 18 Chinese soldiers were killed and 67 others were seriously injured.
There were countless people like Lu Jianchuan who suffered minor skin injuries.
So there is no such thing as a peaceful life, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for us.
