On her way home from school, Jiang Yue frowned and didn't say a word.
Lu Jingnian glanced at her several times until the car stopped at the Jiang family's house. Only then did he ask Jiang Yue, "Thinking about Gao Xian?"
Jiang Yue nodded. "If what Jiang Xue said is true, I always feel that it would be very dangerous for Qingya to be entangled with someone like that."
Lu Jingnian sighed helplessly, "Didn't you think about yourself? You're still in the same class as that Gao Ye."
Jiang Yue turned to look at him, her face showing no fear whatsoever. "What do I have to be afraid of? I have you protecting me every moment."
She wasn't just saying nice things to Lu Jingnian on purpose; Jiang Yue genuinely felt safe and secure with Lu Jingnian by her side, and wasn't afraid of anything.
These words pleased Lu Jingnian, who couldn't help but smile.
"Does having me by your side really make you feel this safe?"
He reached out and pinched Jiang Yue's cheek, his cold eyes now filled with tenderness.
"I'm telling the truth. I feel so safe with you by my side. I'm not afraid of anything."
Jiang Yue rushed over, hugged Lu Jingnian's waist, and gently bit his chin. "So you have to find a way to spend more time with me in the future."
"good."
Lu Jingnian smiled and nodded, gently pushing her away, his ears slightly red as he reminded her, "If we don't get out of the car soon, Mom will come out."
Jiang Yue got out of the car, glanced at Lu Jingnian, and said through gritted teeth, "Lu Jingnian, I want to buy a car."
This was someone else's car, and Jiang Yue dared not do anything except kiss Lu Jingnian inside.
Lu Jingnian walked over and whispered in her ear with a smile, "Then tell me first, what do you want to do with the car?"
Seeing her dissatisfied expression, Lu Jingnian was certain that Jiang Yue didn't buy the car to drive it.
Meeting the man's teasing gaze, Jiang Yue's mind instantly flashed back to the adult film she had seen, one about lovemaking in a car, and her face flushed red.
"I... I buy a car to drive, of course."
She absolutely must not let Lu Jingnian know her thoughts.
"Yeah?"
Lu Jingnian smiled and nodded, "Actually, you can drive a motorcycle too. If you don't know how, I can teach you."
"Riding a motorcycle is nowhere as comfortable as driving a car."
Jiang Yue didn't want to; was she going to drive?
She clearly wanted to get rid of him...
In the living room.
Shen Min breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them return safely. "Why are you back so late? Have you had dinner yet?"
"Mom, we've already eaten out."
Jiang Yue walked over with a smile and put her arm around Shen Min's arm. "Didn't I tell you that when we come back late from work, you can just go to sleep? Why are you waiting for us again?"
There are fewer entertainment options at this time, so everyone goes to bed earlier.
It's past nine o'clock at night now, and most people are already asleep.
Shen Min whispered to Jiang Yue, "I'm waiting for you because I have something to tell you. Go and see Hua Hua in a bit. I've noticed that Hua Hua hasn't been very happy these past two days. She didn't eat much today, and only drank half a bowl of porridge for dinner. This can't go on."
Although Yao Hua is currently on a diet, her body can't handle not eating like this.
Shen Min looked worried. "Did she have a conflict with Political Commissar Yu?"
It's not appropriate for us adults to interfere in your young people's affairs. Go ask around and try to persuade Huahua. If it really doesn't work out, we don't necessarily have to get married. We can always break up.
We're looking for a good match for Huahua.
There are other outstanding men in this world besides Political Commissar Yu.
Jiang's father has many excellent soldiers under his command; he's no less capable than Xiang Dong.
"I understand, I'll go check on Huahua in a bit."
After escorting Shen Min back to her room, Jiang Yue told Lu Jingnian to go upstairs first, and then went to Yao Hua's room herself.
"Knock knock knock!"
Standing at the door of Yao Hua's room, Jiang Yue knocked.
Soon, the door was opened from the inside.
Jiang Yue was slightly taken aback when she saw Yao Hua. Yao Hua must have been exercising, as she was covered in sweat and her clothes were soaked.
"Huahua, it's so late, why aren't you asleep? What are you doing?"
Has this girl gone mad?
Jiang Yue went inside, closed the door, and looked at Yao Hua, who was covered in sweat, feeling extremely distressed.
"Yueyue, I'm on a diet."
Meeting Jiang Yue's concerned gaze, Yao Hua lowered her head guiltily and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"I know you're on a diet; haven't you been dieting all this time?"
Jiang Yue pulled her down to sit, took a towel and wiped the sweat from her face. "Mom said you didn't eat dinner, only drank half a bowl of porridge. Now you're doing such intense exercise. Can your body handle it?"
It's not always good to exercise excessively; sometimes, such reckless exercise can be too much for the body to handle.
Yao Hua lowered her head, not daring to answer Jiang Yue's question. The sadness and inferiority she exuded seemed to overwhelm her.
Jiang Yue felt both heartache and anger seeing her like this. She felt heartache for Yao Hua for not taking care of her health, and anger at what the political commissar had done to make Yao Hua like this in the past two days.
"Flower".
Suppressing her temper, Jiang Yue asked Yao Hua softly, "Tell me, did you and Political Commissar Yu have a fight?"
Does he think you're too fat?
So that's why you're dieting like this, risking your life?
When Political Commissar Yu was mentioned, Yao Hua finally raised her head, her eyes red with grievance as she shook her head at Jiang Yue.
"He never said I was fat, nor did he ever complain about my weight. I was just overthinking it."
"Then tell me, why are you having these wild thoughts?" Jiang Yue continued.
Yao Hua thought for a moment and then brought up the issue between herself and Political Commissar Yu, "Yueyue, did I do something wrong?"
