"Yes! Captain Lu!" When Lu Yuanting looked at him like that, the young man with a round head immediately tensed up and answered loudly. He was a little scared. Why did he feel that the look in Captain Lu's eyes just now was so scary, even more fierce than before? He didn't do anything to provoke Captain Lu.
"..." Zhao Yuan glanced at his comrades who were called by Lu Yuanting for additional training.
Well, Captain Lu hasn’t even caught up with this guy yet, but his possessiveness is already so strong. How much must he like her?
Fortunately, he has a good eye.
"Want to go upstairs?" Jiang Xia originally thought that Lu Yuanting would lead them to one of the dormitories, but Lu Yuanting led her upstairs instead.
"Our army corps has a higher rank, and he has a separate room upstairs and doesn't live with us," Zhao Yuan said.
As they talked, they went upstairs. It was relatively quiet upstairs and most of the doors were closed. Lu Yuanting went to one of the rooms and opened the door.
The furnishings in the room were simple, with a bed, a wardrobe, a table and chairs. It was clean and tidy without any trace of life. The bedding on the bed was folded like a tofu block.
"Captain Lu, do you have any tea bags here? I'll go to the water room and get some hot water to make tea for the two female comrades. They must be thirsty after such a long time." Zhao Yuan asked.
Now that this person has entered the house, they must make tea to entertain him, otherwise it would be inappropriate. They are the hosts, and Jiang Xia and Wang Yitong are guests visiting their army.
"It's in the cabinet." Lu Yuanting spoke, and no one knew what he was thinking of. He stood up and was about to stop Zhao Yuan from opening the cabinet.
Zhao Yuan's hands were quick and he opened the cabinet in no time. After seeing what was inside, Zhao Yuan was stunned.
"Captain Lu, why do you put so many things in the cabinet..." Zhao Yuan didn't say the word "junk".
Jiang Xia took a look at the cabinet that Zhao Yuan had opened. It was true to say that the things inside were junk. They were all origami, crumpled paper, and some strange-looking rag dolls.
These things may be unfamiliar to others, but to her... they are vaguely familiar.
When Lu Yuanting was a child, his father was sent to a farm. He didn't know whether he could survive. His home was also emptied, leaving only Lu Yuanting and his father to depend on each other. Lu Yuanting's father was a gentle and kind person.
People with this kind of personality have no one to protect them and are easily bullied, so the young Lu Yuanting took on the responsibility of protecting his parents. He was like a little wolf cub, vicious and would bite anyone he caught, and he became notorious in a short time.
At that time, Lu Yuanting was always covered in scars and was bullied by kids from other compounds. Although he beat the opponents harder every time, he was not much better off.
Her father always told her to help brother Yuanting, so even though she was a little scared at that time, she would often go to bring medicine to Lu Yuanting, apply medicine to Lu Yuanting, and bring him delicious food. This rag doll was also given to Lu Yuanting by her.
She didn't know whether Lu Yuanting was afraid or not, but she was a little scared when she saw that Lu Yuanting was covered with scars, so she used the rag doll to comfort Lu Yuanting, telling him not to be afraid.
Many years have passed, and she really didn't expect Lu Yuanting to keep the things.
"Go make tea once you find the tea bags." Lu Yuanting frowned and spoke in a stiff voice.
"Okay." Zhao Yuan nodded, holding the tea bag and was about to close the cabinet door when something slipped out.
A photo frame, which contained an old black-and-white photo of two children, a boy and a girl. The boy looked like a wolf cub, with short hair. He stood upright behind the little girl, while the little girl smiled brightly at the camera.
"Hey, Captain Lu, isn't this the photo you always carry in your pocket when you're on a mission? Turns out this is a group photo." Zhao Yuan said in surprise.
When they go on missions, especially those with extremely high risk factors, there is a possibility that they will never return. At such times, they need some spiritual sustenance, such as bringing photos or letters of their family or loved ones, and reading them when they feel they can't hold on any longer.
He often saw their army troopers carrying a cut-out photo of this little girl in their pockets. They took such good care of her that she must be a very important person to them.
After saying this, Zhao Yuan remembered something and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xia, fearing that Jiang Xia would misunderstand.
"Comrade Jiang Xia, don't get me wrong. The person in the photo may be our Captain Lu's sister. Over the years, our Captain Lu has been very self-disciplined and there has never been any woman around him. I can testify to this!" Zhao Yuan said.
Jiang Xia came to Zhao Yuan's side, picked up the photo frame and took a look. There was a photo hidden on the back of the frame. It was a one-inch photo with a red background. Jiang Xia was wearing a white shirt and her hair was tied up in a youthful style. She couldn't remember when this photo was taken.
Zhao Yuan and Wang Yitong on the side exclaimed in surprise.
"Comrade Lu Yuanting, this seems to be my photo." Jiang Xia asked knowingly and raised the photo to look at Lu Yuanting.
