She walked quietly to the bedside.
Jiang Yue stretched out her finger and gently tapped the back of Lu Jingnian's hand, which was exposed outside the blanket.
"Lu Jingnian, I'm back."
The man on the bed twitched his fingers, but did not open his eyes.
It seems he's really angry.
Jiang Yue pursed her lips, leaned closer to Lu Jingnian's face, and said, "Honey, I bought you some osmanthus candy. It's so sweet."
The man on the bed still did not open his eyes.
"Honey, I was wrong."
Unable to appease her with sweet words, Jiang Yue had no choice but to admit her mistake.
Please don't ignore me, okay?
"Honey, open your eyes and look at me. If you're really angry, how about you yell at me to vent your anger?"
Jiang Yue reached out and wrapped her arms around Lu Jingnian's lean waist, buried her face in his neck, and gently rubbed her smooth forehead against his ear.
The tickling sensation on his neck and the fruity scent emanating from the woman on his body forced Lu Jingnian to open his eyes.
"I'm so bad, I always bully you, why are you still trying to comfort me?"
He spoke, his voice carrying an undeniable sense of grievance.
"You didn't bully me. I just made up stories to get Qingya to accept the things. I didn't expect that girl to be so imaginative."
Honey, I was wrong about this. I apologize. Yes…
Before Jiang Yue could finish speaking, Lu Jingnian covered her mouth.
"I don't want your apologies."
The man's calloused fingertips gently traced Jiang Yue's rosy lips as he said, word by word, "Because 'I'm sorry' is the most useless of the three words."
"Then tell me, what can I do to stop you from being angry?"
Jiang Yue asked.
"I'll make you do whatever you want?" Lu Jingnian retorted.
Jiang Yue wasn't fooled. Men can be coaxed, but not spoiled.
"You can't make unreasonable demands, and you can't flirt with me again until you're discharged from the hospital."
"Jiang Yue, your apology is completely insincere."
Lu Jingnian turned his face away, not wanting to look at her.
Do you really think he's that easy to fool?
"I'm doing this for your health. Lu Jingnian, although your external injuries have almost healed, the doctor said you're still anemic and need to rest and recuperate. I'm not letting you flirt with me because I'm afraid you'll exhaust yourself."
Jiang Yue argued her case based on reason.
"I'm weak?"
Battalion Commander Lu is good at grasping the key points: "Last night, between the two of us, who was the weaker one?"
Who is constantly begging for mercy?
Jiang Yue: "..." Doesn't she have any pride?
Jiang Yue covered Lu Jingnian's mouth with her hand and glared at him fiercely. "Lu Jingnian, you've grown bold, haven't you? You actually dare to laugh at your own wife. Do you believe I won't talk to you anymore?"
Lu Jingnian reached out and pinched Jiang Yue's waist hard, looking at her dangerously: "Ignoring me?"
The pain in her waist made Jiang Yue instantly cower.
"I was just kidding. How could I bear to ignore you?"
Jiang Yue touched Lu Jingnian's face and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.
"My husband is the best."
"snort!"
Lu Jing snorted lightly, then looked at Jiang Yue seriously. "Jiang Yue, I won't bully you or threaten you. You're not allowed to say things like 'ignore me' again."
Perhaps due to childhood trauma, Lu Jingnian feels extremely insecure about things he cannot control.
So whatever he does, he makes sure he has complete control over the whole thing.
But he really couldn't control Jiang Yue, nor did he want to.
Jiang Yue is a person, not a thing or anything. She has her own freedom and should not be controlled by anyone.
"I was just joking, I won't say it again." Jiang Yue kissed Lu Jingnian on the cheek again, this time for a longer time.
When Lu Jingnian was speaking just now, Jiang Yue could clearly sense his tension and fear.
Lu Jingnian felt insecure.
This realization caused Jiang Yue a sharp pain in her heart. Why had Lu Jingnian, such a good person, suffered so much before?
Jiang Yue hugged Lu Jingnian tightly, "Lu Jingnian, I will always be with you. If there really is a next life, I must meet you sooner."
I'll treat you well from now on, and I'll make up for everything you don't have, so that no one will bully you again.
"good."
Lu Jingnian answered.
...
7 PM.
Political Commissar Yu had just finished a meeting and came over.
By this time, it was completely dark outside.
Fearing for safety on the road, Jiang Yue had already packed her things. After Political Commissar Yu arrived, she exchanged a few words with him and then quickly left.
After Jiang Yue left, Lu Jingnian said to the political commissar.
"You can go back in a bit, I'm fine here." He can take care of himself now, and doesn't need anyone to stay with him in bed.
"I called you here just to ask if there's been any news about Jiang Zheng these past two days?"
A few days ago, Jiang Zheng took leave and left with Duan Suyao, and hasn't called back since.
Lu Jingnian was somewhat worried.
Political Commissar Yu shook his head. "No, you know he never calls back when he does this."
"Try to contact him and confirm his safety," Lu Jingnian said.
The reason Lu Jingnian asked Jiang Yue to go back tonight was that he didn't want her to hear anything about Jiang Zheng, fearing she would worry.
Commissar Yu looked at Lu Jingnian with surprise, "Why are you suddenly afraid that something might happen to him?"
He's gone out with Duan Suyao before, and I've never seen you this worried then.
“This time is different,” Lu Jingnian said. “This time, Duan Suyao came back on her own initiative.”
"You suspect..."
Political Commissar Yu jumped up from his chair, looking at Lu Jingnian in disbelief. "So many years have passed, and Duan Suyao seems perfectly normal now. Could that drug have affected her for so long?"
