After Liu Meiyu finished her self-introduction, Lu Changzheng did not waste time and introduced himself in a clear and concise manner.
However, his problem was much more complicated than Liu Meiyun's. Their relationship had not yet been finalized, and it was not convenient to reveal too much, so Lu Changzheng spoke more implicitly.
"That's all I have to say. If you want to know anything else, you can ask me directly. But the army has rules. I can't tell you anything I shouldn't."
Although this was Lu Changzheng's first blind date, he knew that not all girls could be as frank and bold as Liu Meiyun. This straightforward way of communication was quite to his liking.
"What kind of girls do you like?"
Liu Meiyun asked a question that surprised Lu Changzheng.
After thinking carefully, he said: "Pretty, sensible, gentle, generous, and reasonable."
This is what Lu Changzheng concluded when he saw other couples quarreling every other day while in the army.
If a couple lives together but cannot get along, cannot communicate, are unreasonable, and quarrel over trivial matters every day, then such a life would be worse than being single.
Liu Meiyu's eyelids twitched, but the smile on her face remained.
"What about you?" Lu Changzheng asked.
Liu Meiyu looked at the man sitting opposite her with an upright posture and high spirits, and decided to give him a strong dose of medicine.
"I like you like this."
“…”
The weather in May should have been bone-chillingly cold, but Lu Changzheng felt stuffy and hot in his chest.
Lu Changzheng, who had never been nervous even when lurking in enemy territory, stood up from his chair in surprise when he heard the girl's frank words.
As soon as Liu Meiyu saw the man's reaction, she knew that she had given him too much medicine. After all, it was only the late 1960s.
She stood up in a panic and tried to make excuses for herself, looking at the man and carefully explaining: "I mean, I like soldiers."
"The military protects their country and their dedication is selfless. They are the most lovable and respectable people."
The little girl's eyes were pure and clean, and her deep pupils flashed with a firm and admiring light. Lu Changzheng saw his own army green reflection in her eyes, and suddenly his heart beat faster.
Clearing his throat, he said, "You have a good idea."
After saying that, I saw Liu Meiyu standing sideways with her leg in a cast. Her thin and frail body made people feel pity, but the girl's back was always straight.
Be graceful and elegant, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Your leg is still injured, don't stand for too long." Lu Changzheng motioned for her to sit down and supported her with the hand that was not in a cast, just in case she fell.
The man is not only affectionate but also considerate and caring. Liu Meiyu is very satisfied.
When Feng Yujuan first said she wanted to introduce her to someone, her expectations were very low. She just wanted someone who looked decent, had a decent character and values, and could protect herself and the original owner's parents.
But just after listening to Lu Changzheng's self-introduction, Liu Meiyu suddenly felt like a piece of delicious cake had fallen from the sky and landed in front of her.
Lu Changzheng far exceeded her expectations in terms of both appearance and manners. He became a battalion commander at the age of 24. His family was from the capital, and he did not have many relatives around him.
Although Lu Changzheng's words were vague, Liu Meiyu's mind worked quickly and she guessed that his family must be quite unusual.
With his conditions, he would definitely be very popular in the blind date market, whether in this era or in the future.
"Thank you." Liu Meiyu stared at the man in front of her with burning eyes, not hiding her "liking" for him at all.
Being stared at by the girl's burning eyes, Lu Changzheng felt a little confused and dry-mouthed for the first time.
After coughing twice, he asked, "Why do you want to retire suddenly?"
Liu Meiyu repeated the same words to Lu Changzheng that she had said to Feng Yujuan. The difference was that this time she put more emotion into it.
"My brother is only five years old. My mom is injured, so my dad has to take care of two people. He is also older, and his knees hurt when it rains. In addition, recently..." Liu Meiyun's nose was sore when she talked about the sensitive part. She tried to hold back tears and said, "If I stay here, I can't concentrate on dancing. I want to go back to accompany them. No matter how hard it is, I want to stay by their side."
In fact, Lu Wanjun had already told him about Liu Meiyun's family situation in advance, but after hearing the little girl say it again, Lu Changzheng still felt uncomfortable.
It's not easy for a little girl to be alone, and it's rare that she is so filial.
"Aren't you afraid of hardship?" Lu Changzheng was very good at grasping the key words, because he thought that in the next few years he would definitely have to live in a place with harsh conditions.
The little girl was so delicate, and he was afraid that people would not be able to endure the hardship if they followed him.
Liu Meiyu's eyelids twitched. She had to continue to maintain the character she had created.
Giving the man a "deeply affectionate" look, she whispered, "Don't be afraid, as long as I can be with my family and... the person I love."
The girl's watery eyes were wide and round, her gaze was extremely firm, and a small flame flickered in her sparkling pupils.
As Lu Changzheng was stared at by those dark eyes, his face began to heat up involuntarily and his heart beat faster than ever before.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, my brain is out of control and I think too far ahead.
"But if you marry and join the army, your parents will still have to stay in their hometown."
Although he was attracted to Liu Meiyu, he did not lose his mind.
"I know." Liu Meiyu nodded, staring at the man opposite her hesitantly. Her bright eyes shone with anticipation. She said carefully, "I just wonder... if I can bring my brother to live with me in the future, so that my parents can be more relaxed."
After Liu Meiyu said what she wanted to say, she felt a little uneasy.
In the clip she saw when she traveled through time, the original owner's younger brother had a high fever on the way to the farm with his parents. He didn't receive treatment in time and was eventually burned into a fool.
The original owner's parents had an accident and were killed by falling rocks on the farm while trying to save their stupid son.
Liu Meiyu couldn't remain indifferent to such a miserable family, because now, they were also her family.
Liu Meiyun raised her head and carefully observed Lu Changzheng's reaction.
The man didn't frown, didn't dodge, and didn't refuse immediately. He just tapped the plaster on his arm with his left hand, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Such a reaction is already a plus point for Liu Meiyun.
Marrying a wife is not a good deed, but also requires raising someone's younger brother. If her request were made in modern times, she would be considered a "brother-supporting demon" and would be scolded by others.
If a man agrees immediately, it must be without thinking.
"Taking him over to take care of him won't solve the fundamental problem. We have to move his household registration out, to your name. That way, if you follow the army, your brother can receive education in the army."
This was Lu Changzheng's answer after thinking about it. Raising one more child would not be a burden for him. Liu Meiyun was able to suggest taking her younger brother to live with her to take care of him. Lu Changzheng even admired her a little. He felt that although this girl looked delicate and weak on the surface, she was very smart, independent, kind-hearted, and filial.
Unconsciously, when Lu Changzheng looked at Liu Meiyun, he felt that every part of her body was full of advantages.
After hearing Lu Changzheng's statement, Liu Meiyu couldn't help but look up to this man even more, thinking that he might be sent by God to save her.
She was transported to the 1960s in a daze. She had no golden fingers and was beautiful but powerless. She wanted to be self-reliant, but the original owner's background was too difficult. She had struggled all her life in her previous life. If she lived again, she wanted to live in a different way.
Seeing that she hadn't said anything for a long time, Lu Changzheng thought she was worried about something, so he thought for a moment and added, "Don't worry, my allowance is more than enough to support two more people."
As soon as he said this, Lu Changzheng realized something was wrong.
They were still on a blind date and hadn't even settled down in a relationship, so how come they were talking about post-marriage issues?
But after saying it, he didn't feel much regret, but instead a certain expectation arose in his heart.
Liu Meiyu gave him such a good first impression that he has already applied for discharge from the army. If their marriage fails this time, they will definitely go their separate ways in the future, and he may never see such a beautiful pair of eyes again in his life.
And given the current situation, if he gets married, there is really no reason for the Sun family to interfere in his affairs.
As a soldier, once you find your target on the battlefield, you must move forward decisively. Hesitation will only lead to missed opportunities.
He was sure that he liked Liu Meiyu as she was, liked her calmness, her intelligence, and the pure admiration for soldiers in her eyes. What was rare was that he could see that Liu Meiyu seemed to like him quite a bit as well.
Otherwise, this girl couldn't have kept her eyes fixed on him from the moment she entered the room.
The little girl's eyes were clean and pure, and Lu Changzheng's blood seemed to be boiling.
"Comrade Liu Meiyu, what do you think of me?" After figuring it out, Lu Changzheng became more decisive.
If he had to get married right away, he hoped that the person would be Liu Meiyun.
Being stared at by the man's deep gaze, even though Liu Meiyu had become thick-skinned, she couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting hot.
"You're fine." She replied in a low voice with a blushing face.
Lu Changzheng was delighted and his eyes relaxed. He was usually calm and composed, but at this moment his heart was beating wildly. He continued to ask, "If you don't mind that I'm a few years older than you, would you be willing to be my partner?"
Blind dates in this era are so straightforward. If the two parties are attracted to each other after just one meeting, they can get together right away. If not, they can just turn down the matchmaker immediately.
When Liu Meiyu agreed to the blind date, she had already prepared herself mentally.
"I do."
The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
Lu Changzheng just thought it sounded particularly nice.
"Comrade Liu Meiyu!" Lu Changzheng stood up and saluted Liu Meiyu solemnly. "I will definitely treat you well in the future. Protect the country and protect you!"
Who said that people in the 1960s and 1970s didn’t understand love words? Liu Meiyun thinks that Lu Changzheng was really good at it.
She was a person with a 21st century soul who had seen the world, but she was frantic at the seriousness of Lu Changzheng at that moment.
She stood up with her lame leg and saluted Lu Changzheng, looking at the man intently, "Me too!"
Looking at the determination and joy in the girl's eyes, Lu Changzheng's mouth corners lifted unconsciously.
The air froze again, and the two looked at each other with "burning" eyes. There was absolute silence all around them, and it seemed as if they could hear each other's irregular heartbeats.
When Lu Wanjun entered the room, she saw such a scene that even the air was filled with deep affection.
Her eldest nephew, who was always picky and refused to get married, finally met the right person this time.
