Chapter 229 Guns N' Roses
Liao Qing then opened his mouth and named the purpose of this party: "The mission of this military-civilian friendship party is to help everyone solve marriage problems. The requirements are very simple. No one is allowed to be shy. We encourage bold confessions and get along openly. We should hold hands when necessary and move forward courageously as we do in battle and training. Next, let's ask Captain Lu to say a few words to everyone."
Lu Chen stood up and said a few simple words: "I hope everyone can find the love they want at this social gathering. Now, I declare the social gathering open."
Liao Qing led the applause: "Then let's ask our group leader and Doctor Xu to do an opening dance to liven up the atmosphere."
As soon as he finished speaking, rhythmic music sounded in the auditorium.
Lu Chen stood up and, under the gaze of everyone, came to the seat on the side of the stage where Xu Nuo was supposed to sit, and invited her very gentlemanly.
Xu Nuo smiled, stood up, took off her black coat, revealing her sweater dress.
Her plump and slender figure and confident and bright smile made her catch everyone's attention instantly.
The whispers spread quietly around.
"That little girl is Captain Lu's wife?"
"It's amazing, she looks young and so beautiful."
"Who do you think is prettier, Xia Nan or Captain Lu's wife?"
"Of course it's Captain Lu's wife. She's beautiful and gentle. Look at Xia Nan's arrogant look, as if there's no one prettier than her in the world."
Hearing this, Lin Ya glanced sideways at the woman sitting next to her.
The woman raised the corner of her mouth in a disdainful smile.
She turned around, looked at the two women who were gossiping behind her back, and shot back, "Whether the Phoenix is beautiful or not, when is it the turn of the Bald-Tailed Chicken to discuss it?"
These words were very unpleasant to hear, and the two girls immediately became angry.
"You mean a bald-tailed chicken?"
"Can you speak?"
"Whoever you think it is, that's it. Whoever I say is clearly known in his heart, isn't it?" Xia Nan said with his chin raised proudly.
"You! You've gone too far!"
"How could there be such a shameless person like you at the social gathering..."
Seeing that the noise here was getting louder and louder, Lin Ya had to speak up: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Don't forget what our mission is here. If the leaders of your units find out, I'm afraid that your units will not be able to attend the social gatherings in the future."
Her words made sense, and the other two girls immediately fell silent.
They come here to find a partner and solve personal problems.
If we get into a quarrel right now, it will bring shame to the company and the leader will definitely scold us.
In addition, it will also affect their personal image. If they are disliked by young officers, it will be a loss.
Seeing that the two women stopped talking, Xia Nan turned around and said to Lin Ya, "Thank you."
"I'm not going to speak for you, and you don't have to thank me." Lin Ya said coldly, her eyes falling on the center of the auditorium again.
Lu Chen stood straight with standard and powerful movements, guiding Xu Nuo's steps, spinning, advancing and retreating, fully demonstrating the unique agility and bravery of a soldier.
Xu Nuo was wearing a red dress, and when she spun around, the hem of her skirt looked like a blooming flower. She followed Lu Chen closely with light dance steps, and her face was filled with a happy and lively smile.
The two people's dance steps are smooth and their dance postures are elegant and handsome, attracting everyone in the audience.
Lin Ya thought silently, is there anything in this world more romantic than Guns and Roses?
When Xia Nan caught Lin Ya's gaze, he curled the corners of his mouth in a disdainful smile.
After the song ended, the audience burst into applause.
Lu Chen let go of Xu Nuo's hand, turned around and said to the young officers sitting there: "Our dance is just a starting point. I hope you can be passionate and bold in pursuing the girl you like. Come on, let's get started!"
Lu Chen took Xu Nuo out of the center of the auditorium and returned to his seat again.
Liao Qing came over and said, "You danced well just now. Old Lu, your years of ballroom dancing have not been in vain."
Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "If you have nothing to do, why not ask your sister-in-law to dance for you."
"Your sister-in-law can't do that." Liao Qing laughed twice, "Neither can I. We can only watch. Unlike you two, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, very pleasing to the eyes. What a pity, I forgot to take a picture of you as a souvenir."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen seemed to remember something.
"Sit here for a while, I'll be back soon."
Xu Nuo nodded, picked up an orange and peeled it to eat, but his eyes were always following the movement of Lu Chen.
He pushed through the crowd and came in front of Lu Kun.
"Take a photo?" Lu Chen asked.
"Brother Lu Chen." Lu Kun greeted him with a smile and took off the camera hanging from his neck. "You and sister-in-law danced really well. Look, I took a few photos of you to record the most beautiful moments."
He pulled out the film that had just been shot in the camera and showed it to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took the camera and looked at a few pictures. As expected, the pictures he took were pretty good.
"Is the camera yours?" Lu Chen asked casually.
"Yes, mine." Lu Kun said, "You know, I'm a photographer, I like to walk around and take pictures."
Lu Chen took a look at the brand of the camera and found that it was imported from abroad.
"This camera is not easy to buy, right?" Lu Chen asked while fiddling with the camera.
"It's not easy to buy!" When Lu Kun mentioned this, he became interested. "This camera is very expensive and out of stock in China. I asked a friend to bring it back from abroad after many twists and turns."
“How does it compare to the cameras in your unit?”
"It's a hundred times easier to use." Lu Kun did not serve in the army. He worked as a photographer for a magazine in the city. He ran around taking pictures on weekdays. This was his job.
Lu Chen flipped through the film in the camera again, and when he saw Lin Ya's photo, he paused.
"Lu Kun, have you broken up with Lin Ya?" Lu Chen asked.
"No, no, what's wrong?"
Lu Chen raised his hand and pointed at Lin Ya who was sitting in the seat: "This is a social gathering for young officers to solve marriage problems. Why would she come here if she didn't break up?"
Lu Kun smiled when he heard this: "Brother Lu Chen, her family used to live in the military compound, but later her parents and brother died, leaving her alone. Isn't it almost the New Year? She heard about this social gathering and said she wanted to feel the warmth of the group, so she signed up. As for me, I shouldn't have come, but I heard that you were short of a photographer this time, so I came along."
Without waiting for Lu Chen to continue asking, he continued, "My father knows about my coming here, and he has also told Director Zheng of the Logistics Department."
"Okay." Lu Chen patted his shoulder, "Then take good photos. I'll send them to everyone after they're developed."
"No problem. I will definitely complete the task." Lu Kun agreed.
Lin Ya kept her eyes on Lu Chen. Wherever he went, she would see him.
"Hey." Xia Nan, who was sitting next to her, poked her with a smile, "Your eyes are about to pop out of your head. Is that man so attractive to you?"
Lin Ya turned her head and glared at her fiercely: "What do you care!"
"I'm just concerned about you." Xia Nan said with a smile.
"Instead of worrying about me here, you should worry about how many days you can live." Lin Ya said this while gnashing her back teeth, then stood up.
"Hey, wait a minute." Xia Nan also stood up. "Is that the man holding the camera the man you saved? Your boyfriend?"
Lin Ya said "hmm".
Xia Nan sneered: "Wait and see how I take him down."
Lin Ya: "It's up to you, I'm not interested."
After saying that, she ran straight in the direction where Lu Chen was.
