Chapter 347 "Separation"
Lu was shocked and silent, but he covered the back of Xia Qingying's hand with his hand, and his broad palm instantly wrapped around her soft and white little hand.
Xia Qingying knew that he had always been a person who did not show his emotions, and his silence now was equivalent to tacit consent.
He was a man of iron will. When he was in the field army, he fought his way through the hail of bullets. Later, he came to the garrison military region to train soldiers. He was also the serious and solemn Commander Lu in everyone's eyes.
Such a strong man was willing to take off all his "disguise" in front of her. She even felt that he was a little lonely now.
"It's not like we haven't seen each other for 20 days. Can't we take a day off every 10 days? Then I'll go home early." Xia Qingying rested her head on his shoulder and said slowly.
"Yeah." Lu Jingchen restrained his emotions, responded softly, and then said:
"It's still very hot now. Drink more water after training. I'll give you a bigger water bottle later. You can take it over."
"Okay." Xia Qingying nodded. She originally felt so close that she didn't feel like leaving at all. But now she was suddenly infected by Lu Jingchen's emotions and began to feel reluctant to leave him. She raised her head and couldn't help but kiss Lu Jingchen's face.
Just when her lips were about to touch Lu Jingchen's face, they were separated by his big hand. His voice was low, as if he was doing something bad:
"You can't do this in the army."
His expression was serious, but his face was red from his ears to his neck. Looking at his expression, Xia Qingxiu couldn't help but want to laugh. The corners of her lips raised slightly, and she deliberately teased him:
"Oh, then kiss me again in ten days." After saying that, she let go of his arm and stood up:
"Then I'll go home and pack up, and then go to the dormitory after I'm done."
"Well, you go home and pack up first, and I'll ask the driver to help you take your things to the dormitory." After Lu Jingchen said that, he also stood up, ready to send Xia Qingxiu out.
When Lu Jingchen put his hand on the door handle and prepared to open the door, the person behind him flashed from the side to his chest, quickly grabbed his collar, pulled him down, and kissed him hard on the lips.
When Lu Jingchen reacted, the naughty girl had already opened the door and walked out.

Xia Qingli returned home and washed the military uniform she was given first. She had a little cleanliness obsession and always felt uncomfortable wearing unwashed clothes. Anyway, she was given two sets of military uniforms, so even if this set was not used tomorrow, there was another set as a backup.
After washing the clothes, she packed some daily necessities, toothbrushes, towels, washbasins, buckets... She packed them all, put those that could be put into net bags, and put those that could not be put aside.
She also took out some clothes to change and packed them together. She also had to take quilts and quilt covers with her, because she was not a formal recruit, so the army did not issue them.
When she was almost done packing, she heard the sound of a car coming from outside the yard. After a while, Xiang Qianjin walked in and said to Xia Qingxi:
"Sister-in-law, the regiment has an impromptu meeting to be held, so I came to help you move your things."
"Oh, thank you, come in and have a drink of water." Xia Qingxi said, and was about to find a cup to pour water for him.
"No, no, I'm not thirsty." Xiang Qianjin waved his hand quickly, and then picked up the things Xia Qingxi had packed:
"That's it, right?"
"There are some toiletries, I'll get them myself." Xia Qingxi said, took the net bag on the table, and walked out of the yard with Xiang Qianjin.
The driver Liu Xiaofeng, who was waiting outside, came over and took the things from Xia Qingxi's hand and greeted her.
Xia Qingxi was very puzzled. She didn't have much stuff, so she could just ask Liu Xiaofeng to come alone. She didn't know why Lu Jingqi specially arranged for Xiang Qianjin to come as well.
Although she was a little confused, she didn't ask any more questions. She locked the door and got in the car. The car quickly drove to the recruit dormitory. The car stopped outside the dormitory
and
Xia Qingxi got out of the car. Because there were only female soldiers living here, Xiang Qianjin and Liu Xiaofeng were not allowed to enter, so Xia Qingxi had to move the things she brought upstairs by herself.
Fortunately, she lived on the second floor, so she moved it in two trips and finished moving.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, there are these." Just as Xia Qingying thanked Xiang Qianjin and was about to go up with the quilt and bucket in her arms, Xiang Qianjin seemed to remember something and suddenly called her.
Xia Qingying turned around and saw that he was holding a bag of fruit and some cakes, as well as a large military water bottle. She was puzzled when she heard him explain to her:
"This is given to you by the Army Corps."
"Oh." Xia Qingying responded and asked:
"Can I take these in?"
"Yes." Xiang Qianjin knew her concerns and explained to her:
"You can eat them in the dormitory, and it's okay if you don't take them to the training ground."
"Well, I'll come down and get it later." After that, Xia Qingying walked forward holding the quilt and carrying the bucket.
Not long after she left, the new recruits of the art troupe came to the dormitory one after another.
Today they just met the instructors and familiarized themselves with the venue, and did not officially start the training, so everyone came back early.
"Hey, why is there a car parked downstairs of our dormitory?" A little girl with two braids asked curiously.
She looked young, only about sixteen or seventeen, and her face still had a childish look. She looked at the car in front of her curiously.
"This is not an ordinary car, it's called a military jeep, and it's a special car for military leaders." The woman walking next to her explained to her.
"Wow, Sister Yunxiang, you know a lot. I only know that something with four wheels is called a car." The little girl just said embarrassedly.
"Hehe, not much." The woman named Yunxiang was a little embarrassed by the compliment. She used her hands to tidy up her hair and continued:
"Xiaoling, if you have any questions in the future, just ask me."
"Okay, okay." Huo Xiaoling laughed and nodded in reply.
Li Yan, who was walking beside them, listened to the conversation between the two and rolled her eyes unconsciously in her heart, as if she was laughing at Huo Xiaoling's stupidity and ignorance, and as if she was mocking Yunxiang's deliberate show-off.
When they were almost in front of the car, the three of them unconsciously looked at the man who was carrying a bag of fruit snacks and walking forward.
The man was about 1.75 meters tall, with a square face. He was neither good-looking nor bad-looking, but the good thing was that he was wearing a military uniform, which made him look particularly straight.
Just as a few people were looking around secretly and moving forward, they suddenly saw a woman with a particularly outstanding appearance walking out from inside.
Li Yan's eyes stayed on Xia Qinggui's face for a few seconds, and she immediately recognized that she was the woman she saw when she went to the playground to gather in the afternoon.
It's no wonder that she was impressed, mainly because the woman was so beautiful.
When she saw her, Li Yan prayed that she was not a new recruit in the art troupe, otherwise, with that face, she could also grab the attention of 90% of people.
Li Yan knew that he was the only one in the art troupe who could play the piano. She was the focus of everyone's attention, but she didn't want to become a background board for others.
Didn't the one named Mo Ya say that she was not a new recruit? Then why was she here?
Just when Li Yan was confused, she saw the woman walking towards the man standing next to the car.
Instantly, Li Yan realized that this woman must be someone special. She came here in a jeep, and the army strictly forbids new recruits from being single. She actually let a man stand here and wait for her. It turns out that beautiful women are born to be seductive.
