Chapter 227 Youth Fellowship
"Reject?" Lu Chen was somewhat surprised by Xu Nuo's wording. "Have I ever rejected anyone?"
Xu Nuo curled his lips and said, "Isn't that so? According to the rumors, you are an abstinent and elegant person who never gets close to women."
Lu Chen raised the corners of his lips: "Do you believe it?"
After a brief thought, Xu Nuo said, "Half and half."
After all, she knows better than anyone whether one is abstinent or aloof.
"Lin Ya is an innocent and lively girl. She is perceptive and enthusiastic. Like her brother, she is a very compassionate girl. Qin Huayun liked her very much at the beginning. I heard that..." Lu Chen stopped talking here.
"I heard there was something else?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Nothing. New Year's Day is coming soon. I'd like to go shopping with you and buy some New Year's goods?" Lu Chen changed the subject abruptly.
Xu Nuo is not a fool. How could she not know that her husband was hiding something?
"Lu Chen, I'll give you a chance to say what you want to say. If you hide something and cause unnecessary misunderstandings in the future, you can't blame me. If I lose my temper, I'll be super fierce!"
Lu Chen opened his lips, and the words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back: "No, I am very honest with you."
"That's good." Xu Nuo nodded and didn't pursue the matter any further.
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
At the beginning, Qin Huayun liked Lin Ya very much. She once joked with Aunt Lin that she wanted Lin Ya to be his wife when she grew up.
He is the same age as Lin Ya's brother and four years older than Lin Ya.
However, it was just verbal talk between the two families and it was not counted.
Besides, it had been so long ago and everything had changed. Moreover, he only treated his friend's sister as his sister.
It was brought up just now, and he couldn't stop talking for a moment, so he just said half a sentence more.
Unexpectedly, the perceptive Xu Nuo noticed it.
However, Lu Chen felt that this was not called concealing something important. In his opinion, this matter was insignificant.
Xu Nuo was already her wife, and he believed that no woman would want her husband to have too much involvement with other women.
He didn't want to make Xu Nuo feel upset.
After all, Xu Nuo was the woman he liked. When they first met at the train station, he remembered her bright and beautiful appearance, and soon he was attracted by her smart and independent temperament.
It was a bit embarrassing to say it, and he even felt shameless. He was already 27 years old, but he fell in love with her who was only 18 years old.
Moreover, this person is his younger brother's fiancée.
Because of this, he has been suppressing his emotions and not showing them.
What he didn't expect was that Lu Cheng was extremely resistant to this marriage, and even caused Lei Ming to misunderstand because of a joke, and the entire military compound was publicized on the loudspeaker about that incident.
He turned a disaster into a blessing and was able to marry Xu Nuo.
What he didn't expect was that he actually married a "treasure".
If you don't cherish a woman like this, how can you cherish her?
Xu Nuo didn't know what Lu Chen was thinking at the moment.
If she knew, she would definitely laugh out loud.
Lu Chen always thought that he was shameless enough to fall in love with a girl who was much younger than him, and he also always thought that he was an old cow eating young grass.
In fact, what he didn't know was that the soul that occupied his original body was about the same age as him.
Therefore, his "young wife" appears to be more mature than her age.
Lu Chen drove Xu Nuo around the city. As the New Year was approaching, Xu Nuo planned to buy two new sets of clothes.
She bought a long red waisted sweater dress, a black wool coat and a pair of black ankle boots in the mall.
Lu Chen didn't buy any clothes. He was a professional soldier and wore military uniform all year round, so he had no time to wear his own clothes.
Before going out, he saw an exquisite and fashionable black wide-brimmed hat, so he bought it and gave it to Xu Nuo.
After returning home, Xu Nuo put on the clothes and showed them to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen smiled and praised: "Like a modern girl on the cover of a magazine."
Xu Nuo was very satisfied with this evaluation.
In this era when the streets are still dominated by gray and blue tones, her color combination is already considered to be ahead of the times and fashionable.
After all, there is no woman who doesn't want to be beautiful.
She admired herself carefully in the mirror. The phone in the living room rang and Lu Chen stood up to answer it.
He answered the phone, his eyes still admiring Xu Nuo's outfit.
"Yeah, yeah, okay, got it." Lu Chen agreed a few words and hung up the phone.
"Who's calling? What's the matter?" Xu Nuo asked with concern.
"Come here." Lu Chen sat on the sofa and waved to Xu Nuo.
She came over and sat on his lap naturally.
Lu Chen raised his hand and held her waist, pecked her lips twice and said, "The higher-ups mean to hold a youth gathering before the New Year, right here at our group headquarters. Do you want to attend?"
"Girlfriend meeting?" Xu Nuo blinked. "What kind of meeting is that?"
Lu Chen said: "To put it bluntly, it's a blind date conference."
Xu Nuo chuckled: "Okay, if you don't mind, I'll go and join. I want to see if there are any more outstanding young men in your army. If there are any, I'll develop a relationship with them."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Chen pinched her waist.
"Hiss—it hurts."
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and stared at her. He seemed to be still not satisfied with what he did just now. He lowered his head and bit her lips again. "You are my wife now, what are you still thinking about?"
"Didn't you ask me whether I would go to the blind date meeting?" Xu Nuo looked at him aggrievedly.
"The youth association is a dance party. I want to ask you if you are willing to go to the dance with me. Then, we can dance the opening dance." Lu Chen said.
Such meetings had been held in the army before. The superiors were concerned about the marriage issues of young people of marriageable age, so they would invite some young women of marriageable age from other units to participate in the dance.
It was not successful at the beginning, the atmosphere was not good, and the success rate was not very high.
Many young officers are shy and unable to let go.
Therefore, their superiors asked those leaders to take the lead.
He has been the troupe leader for less than two years. Last year he could still use the excuse that he had no partner to avoid dancing, but this year he got married, so naturally he had to set an example.
"That's the principle." Xu Nuo nodded, "Then I'm willing."
She had never participated in those activities in the army and was very willing to give it a try.
The New Year is coming soon!
It’s better to have something lively!
"No one will be better than me." Lu Chen suddenly said.
"What?"
"No one will be better than me at the social gathering." Lu Chen repeated.
Xu Nuo smiled and stretched out his finger to scratch his tall nose twice: "Shame on you! Old Wang is just selling melons, you are really boasting about yourself."
The next day.
The news that a youth gathering would be held in the army was passed down.
Not only the officers of marriageable age in the army received it, but also the unmarried women of marriageable age in the military compound received it.
Liao Qing drew up a list of several units and came to Lu Chen for the final decision: "I have selected several affiliated units of our army, kindergartens, primary schools, military hospitals, printing factories, and cotton mills. Oh, and send an invitation to the art troupe as well."
"Okay. Let's do it this way." Lu Chen agreed to Liao Qing's work plan.
"Can we do it two days later? I'll call my sister Liao Hong back as well. We have to find a suitable partner for her anyway." Liao Qing said.
"Okay, you decide the time."
"Then I'll have someone send out a notice."
"Um."
Military hospital.
After Ling Sheng received the call, he immediately started to arrange this matter in his busy schedule.
"The army will hold a social gathering in two days. Let's recommend a few people from our department to go. Jin Yue and Lin Ya, you two don't have a partner, right? If not, both of you can go." Ling Sheng said.
"I didn't!" Jin Yue agreed immediately.
"I can go too." Lin Ya said.
"Hey, wait." Jin Yue turned her head and looked at her, "You can't go, right? Aren't you dating the son of Brigade Commander Lu?"
Lin Ya's eyes flickered and she bit her lower lip slightly: "I'm afraid we...will have to break up."
