Xu Feiming, who could never have imagined it, stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, as Lu He kissed him.
He quickly realized that he couldn't let the girl take the initiative in this kind of thing; that was absolutely unacceptable.
Holding Lu He's waist and taking the lead, Xu Feiming kissed her passionately until she could hardly breathe before finally releasing her.
Lu He, her face flushed, looked up at Xu Feiming. In the dim light, her eyes shone like stars as she shyly leaned against him.
Neither of them spoke, yet they could hear each other breathing.
Lu He felt infatuated and confused, but thankfully she managed to control herself.
"Brother Fei Ming, can I come to see you at the military base when I'm on leave?" Lu He thought that since they were both in Beijing, she was sure she could see him if she wanted to.
Xu Feiming said, "I'll come back to see you when I'm on leave. The conditions in the army aren't very good. It takes three hours to get there and back, which is too far and too tiring."
Xu Feiming was reluctant to let Lu He travel such a long distance; it would be better for him to go back.
“But you can’t come back even once a month. I want to see you every month.” Lu He was disappointed when she heard Xu Feiming tell her not to come to him. “We’ve only just started dating. We need to get to know each other better.”
"But it's too far away." Although it's the same city as Beijing, the place he lives in is like in the mountains, and the living conditions are very poor.
Lu He remained silent.
Seeing that Lu He didn't speak, Xu Feiming continued, "Because the military region is very large and is divided into sections, I'm at the regimental headquarters, which is far from the family compound. If you come, you might have to stay at the guesthouse."
Shen Qiaoyu and Qian Luoshui lived in the division headquarters' family compound, while Xu Feiming lived in the regimental headquarters. It took more than ten minutes to travel there and back by car. The family compound was closer to the city, and He Ping's family usually lived there.
"What if I miss you?" Lu He directly questioned Xu Feiming.
Xu Feiming was at a loss for words when asked this question.
That's true. He only gets one chance to go out once a month. The situation in Beijing is different from that in Fucheng. The military family compound in Fucheng is very close to the military base because Fucheng is a war zone, and it's close to land, sea and air forces.
But the capital city is different; they are all separate and scattered.
A company is a company, a battalion is a battalion, and a regimental is a regimental; there are still significant differences between them, and they are not usually together except when they are having meetings.
"Let me come find you, okay?" Lu He said to Xu Feiming in a coquettish tone.
"Okay, remember to let me know in advance if you're coming, and I'll prepare a room for you." Xu Feiming finally compromised.
Lu He was finally happy.
Time waits for no one. After Xu Feiming and Lu He returned to Beijing, they told Jiang Mingjing the good news that they were dating. Jiang Mingjing was very happy and drank a whole bottle of wine with Xu Feiming that night.
The holiday ended quickly. Xu Feiming returned to the army, while Lu He became an intern at the hospital. Upon returning to work, she began her duties, initially learning from her teachers. As a resident physician, she became an assistant in the operating room, observing and learning. She was not allowed to handle a scalpel for a short period of time.
Jiang Jinyao was discharged from the hospital on the third day after giving birth and stayed at home to recuperate.
Lu Yang took care of her for about ten days before rushing back to work in Beijing. An Lude took leave to stay with Jiang Jinyao and help her during her postpartum period, which lasted for more than ten days.
A month has passed since Lu Chen left on a mission, and Shen Qiaoyue is very anxious because there is no news of him.
Zhang Hongying and Meng Xinguo met through Shen Qiaoyue's introduction and tried dating. After a month, their feelings for each other quickly intensified.
The problems at Zhang Hongying's family were resolved, and her sister-in-law became more obedient, not daring to say anything.
Without her sister-in-law's support, Zhang Hongying's mother no longer dared to go against Zhang Hongying.
At least we can live a decent life now.
As the weather gets colder, Shen Qiaoyue goes to work as usual and doesn't usually have to work overtime, but the workers have started to work in two shifts.
Every day after get off work, Shen Qiaoyue would play with her child and sometimes take care of the child until they went to sleep.
Da Nian started doing his homework. During the day, when Xiao Si came home from school and did his homework, Da Nian would watch him and want to do it too.
Xiao Si took out her notebook and taught Da Nian how to do his homework. At first, she taught Da Nian how to write the Arabic numerals 1, 2, and 3. Later, she learned to teach Da Nian how to write his nickname.
Da Nian wrote very seriously.
That evening, after dinner, Shen Qiaoyue gave Da Nian a bath first, and then gave Xiao Nian a bath.
When Xiao Nian gets sleepy, she falls asleep first. Ever since Lu Chen went away on a mission, the two children have been sleeping with her.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Da Nian, who was still writing diligently, and slowly approached him. She looked at the crooked and messy characters Da Nian was writing.
"Da Nian, why are you working so hard? Go to sleep now. Tomorrow is the weekend, and Mom will stay home with you while you do your homework. Don't do it today, okay?" Shen Qiaoyue said, sitting beside Da Nian and patting his head.
Da Nian looked up at Shen Qiaoyue. He didn't answer his mother's question, but stared at her very seriously.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Da Nian with a puzzled expression.
"Mom, Dad said he would come back soon, but so many days have passed, why hasn't he come back yet?" Da Nian is growing up and has started to remember and rely on her father for long periods of time away from home.
“Da Nian, you’ve asked so many times. Daddy has to go on a mission and won’t be back so soon. You have to believe what Mommy says.” Shen Qiaoyue gently comforted Da Nian, saying, “Daddy will be back after you finish school. You’ll be on holiday soon, and then we’ll go to Grandpa’s house for the New Year! Are you happy?”
