Zhao Lanxi was afraid that Jiang Yue's words would affect her impression of Ye Shi'an, so she leaned to look at Ye Shi'an sitting on the upper bunk. Her face was still a little pale, and her eyes were slightly red. She looked very pitiful and weak.
"I'm sorry, Ye Shi'an, it's all my fault."
"It has nothing to do with you. You can't control motion sickness." Ye Shi'an was very understanding and gently comforted Zhao Lanxi. "Don't overthink it, just get some rest."
He had a lot of contact with Lanxi when he was in City A, and he had a good impression of her. However, Lanxi already had a boyfriend, who was also his comrade-in-arms. He could only bury his feelings in his heart and dared not let anyone know.
The train stopped at the train station in city A the next morning.
As soon as Jiang Yue and Yao Hua got out of the car, they saw Political Commissar Yu.
"Flower".
Upon seeing Yao Hua, Political Commissar Yu's eyes lit up instantly. He strode over, his tall figure casting Yao Hua into shadow as he gazed at her with intense intensity.
"You're finally back! I was so worried about you. Was Hua Hua tired from the journey?"
Commissar Yu took the bag from Yao Hua's hand and held her hand tightly with his other hand. Yao Hua blushed and tried to pull her hand away several times, but she couldn't.
"Let me go!"
Yao Hua bit her lip shyly and whispered to the political commissar.
"What are you afraid of? We're engaged, what's wrong with holding hands?"
Commissar Yu was reluctant to let her go. He had been worried about Yao Hua for several days after she left. Now that she was finally back, what was wrong with him holding her hand?
He wasn't the kind of conservative or chauvinistic man; of course, he would cherish his own wife. Commissar Yu didn't care at all about showing affection in front of others.
On the contrary, he wanted people to know that he loved and valued Yao Hua, so that no one would dare to bully his wife in the future.
Jiang Yue got out of the car and was immediately greeted by a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). Looking at Political Commissar Yu's clingy behavior, she admitted she was jealous and missed her Lu Jingnian. If Lu Jingnian hadn't been on a mission, he would definitely have come to pick her up today.
Ye Shi'an came out later than Jiang Yue and the others, carrying his things. When he got off the train and saw Political Commissar Yu and Yao Hua, his eyes widened instantly.
"Old Yu, what... what are you doing..."
Political Commissar Yu smiled smugly and said, "Can't you tell? Huahua is my wife."
"You're married?"
Ye Shi'an was so shocked that his mouth could fit an egg.
"Not yet, but it'll be soon. I'll invite you to my wedding then." Commissar Yu's boastful expression couldn't be more obvious.
Zhao Lanxi, who had followed along, was also shocked and surprised by what Political Commissar Yu said, but she quickly frowned. This Yao Hua was as fat as a pig. Was Yu Xiangdong blind?
How could he possibly be interested in Yao Hua?
Ye Shi'an was very happy for Political Commissar Yu, saying, "I absolutely have to come to your wedding banquet."
After saying that, Ye Shi'an said to Yao Hua, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I didn't know before that I was with your husband..."
"It doesn't matter."
Yao Hua quickly shook her head, glancing nervously and shyly at Political Commissar Yu.
She really hadn't expected Political Commissar Yu to be like this; he was completely different from the Political Commissar Yu she had met before. However... looking at Political Commissar Yu like this, Yao Hua felt warm inside, as sweet as if she had drunk honey!
Knowing that Yao Hua was easily embarrassed, Political Commissar Yu took the bait, saying, "I came here especially to pick you up, let's go quickly." As he spoke, he helped Ye Shi'an take a snakeskin bag.
The snakeskin bag was quite heavy. When they came out, Jiang Yue and Yao Hua helped Ye Shi'an carry one. However, the steps at the train door were too steep when they got off the train, so Ye Shi'an asked the two of them to put their things down and get off first. He asked the train attendant to help him get the bag down.
"What's in here? Why is it so heavy?"
Political Commissar Yu assumed it belonged to Ye Shi'an and casually asked about it.
Before Ye Shi'an could speak, Zhao Lanxi quickly replied, "This bag is full of fabrics I bought. Thank you for your hard work, Political Commissar. I went to S City this time to buy fabrics to make clothes."
Do you remember my cousin, Qianqian, who's also Political Commissar Yu? She's really good at sewing. I'll have her make a suit for Political Commissar Yu in a couple of days.
After saying that, Zhao Lanxi said to Ye Shi'an, "Shi'an, I'll make you a set too."
She couldn't show favoritism; Ye Shi'an had helped her a lot in S City this time, and she wanted to personally make him a set of clothes as a way of thanking him.
Commissar Yu directly refused Zhao Lanxi, saying, "There's no need to trouble your cousin. My daughter Huahua is also very good at making clothes. It's enough for her to make them for me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue nudged Yao Hua, tugged at her clothes, and winked at her.
Yao Hua was stunned for a few seconds, but quickly understood what Jiang Yue meant.
She immediately grabbed Political Commissar Yu's hand and said, "I specially selected the fabric for you. I'll make you a dress when we get back, and I guarantee you'll look great in it."
After Yao Hua finished speaking, she looked up and stared straight at Zhao Lanxi. "Zhao Lanxi, I can make clothes. I can make them for my husband. There's no need to bother your cousin. Besides, she doesn't know my husband's size, so the clothes might not fit."
Luckily, Yueyue reminded her, otherwise she wouldn't have realized it yet.
Zhao Lanxi knew perfectly well that she was Commissar Yu's fiancée, yet she still had her cousin make clothes for Commissar Yu. Wasn't that deliberately trying to embarrass her?
After Yao Hua finished speaking, she turned to look at Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue taught her to say "our Lao Yu" before, and she secretly practiced saying it many times. But when she actually said it just now, she still felt a little strange and embarrassed.
