Chapter 235 You don’t trust her?
Wu Yue blurted out: "You don't trust her?"
Lu Chen glanced at him and considered his words: "It's not that I don't trust you, but I want to be cautious so the fewer people who know, the less they know. You should understand."
To put it bluntly, he still didn't trust Lin Ya enough.
Although we were playmates who grew up together when we were young, time has passed and we meet again unexpectedly. Who knows what has happened in these years?
What did she go through?
What's more, she has a history of studying abroad, so this should be handled with more caution.
Xu Nuo was his wife, and she had never left that barren and red little valley since she was a child.
What's more, when getting married, she went through a strict political review to ensure that there were no problems with her background.
Lin Ya is different.
Although she was born into a military family, she disappeared for a long time after her parents passed away, so it's hard to say.
There's nothing wrong with being cautious.
Wu Yue naturally understood what Lu Chen meant. What he said just now was just a subconscious question.
Liao Qing laughed twice when he saw this and teased Wu Yue: "Why? Has your heart been seduced by someone else?"
Wu Yue laughed awkwardly twice.
Lu Chen said slowly, "I'm old now, and I can't hold it anymore."
"What?" Wu Yue slammed the table, "You promised your wife and children a warm bed, but you can't even let me think about it?"
Lu Chen: "This is unlike you. Didn't you cause a big fuss at home because you didn't want to get married?"
Wu Yue retorted: "Didn't you and I agree to be single together? When you met the woman you liked, didn't you just abandon me?"
Lu Chen thought about it carefully: "That's different."
"What's the difference?"
"It was my responsibility at the time." Lu Chen argued without changing his expression.
"Responsibility? Others may believe this, but can I? You have a stubborn temper. If you don't want to, you will still not agree even if the whip falls on you."
The two of them are also friends who have a life-and-death relationship. They have worked together for so long, but he still doesn't understand what kind of person Lu Chen is?
This was absolutely correct, and Lu Chen did not refute it.
In the end, he only said: "It's about the same."
After half a day of meetings and half a day of busy work in the army, night gradually fell.
The sound of firecrackers filled every corner of the land, and brilliant fireworks exploded in the city sky, decorating the festive atmosphere.
New Year's Eve has arrived and the soldiers in the army gathered together to celebrate the New Year.
As leaders of the army, Lu Chen and others tried their best to stay and celebrate the New Year with the soldiers, so that the soldiers could feel the warmth of the big family of the army and alleviate their homesickness.
He and several other leaders visited almost every corner of the military camp, watched several small programs prepared by the soldiers in various places, expressed their concern and condolences to them, and drank a glass of blessing wine together.
Although it is New Year's Eve, a time when families reunite and the whole world celebrates, the army still has strict rules and drinking is not allowed.
You can drink alcohol, but it must be within an appropriate range and strictly controlled.
Because they are soldiers, they shoulder important responsibilities and missions.
The clock on the wall had already pointed to ten o'clock, and the food on the table had already gone cold.
Xu Nuo stared at the food on the table boredly and couldn't help feeling a little lost.
We agreed to celebrate the New Year together, why aren’t you back so late?
Bai Qiu Ning saw through her thoughts and said to her with a smile: "This is normal. Wait a little longer. It won't be midnight yet."
Liao Hong was yawning continuously. She felt very tired after being busy all day.
Put up Spring Festival couplets, make dumplings, fry fish, stew chicken, cook dishes, decorate the room, and wait for the lively New Year's Eve.
Unexpectedly, my brother and Lu Chen haven’t come back at this time.
They cooked some dumplings for dinner to fill their stomachs, and did not touch any of the dishes on the table, waiting to have the reunion dinner together.
Who would have thought...
"How about we play poker again?" Bai Qiuning shuffled the cards again. "Two more rounds?"
Liao Hong waved her hand: "I don't want to play anymore. It's boring if I don't lose the house or the land."
After playing cards all night, she was tired of it.
Xu Nuo's lips curved slightly: "If I lose the house or the land, doesn't this become gambling?"
"Then what are you talking about?" Bai Qiu Ning also lost his temper, "The three of us can't just stare at each other all the time, can we?"
"Sister-in-law, can you give my brother a call and ask when he will come?"
"It's useless to ask. He's definitely not here right now. I think we should heat up the food and start our own celebration instead of waiting for them." Bai Qiu Ning suggested, "We can still enjoy the New Year by ourselves."
Her proposal was approved by everyone, and the three of them got busy again, heating up the table full of dishes.
Just as the food was served, the sound of a car engine was heard outside.
Xu Nuo leaned on the window to look, and sure enough, Lu Chen and Liao Qing got out of the car.
The door was unlocked, and the two men entered the room, took off their military caps, brushed off the snow on their bodies, and walked towards the round table with a smile.
"It's so late, you haven't eaten yet?" Liao Qing was surprised to see the table full of dishes.
"You evil bastards! How dare you come back? I'm waiting for you here." Bai Qiu Ning complained, but still stepped forward to take the coat that Liao Qing had taken off.
"It's just right. We haven't eaten yet. We're starving! I forgot to tell you that we'll be back late at night... Why don't you eat first?"
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, everyone is waiting, hurry up..."
The five people sat down and the feast began in a lively atmosphere.
Lu Chen and Liao Qing were not in a position to drink much, so Bai Qiu Ning took on the responsibility of livening up the atmosphere. After a year of hard work, she felt that she should reward everyone.
So, he held up his glass and urged Liao Hong, Xu Nuo, and himself to drink...
After the meal, both the guests and the hosts were very happy.
Although the meal was a little late, it was still lively and joyful. For this moment, all the previous waiting was worth it.
The meal lasted more than an hour, and under the influence of alcohol, everyone felt sleepy.
Xu Nuo and Lu Chen insisted on staying to help Bai Qiuning's family clear the table. After all, there is strength in numbers and work can be done faster.
Half an hour later, she and Lu Chen came out of Liao Qing's house holding hands.
The snow on the road was already thick, and it made a crackling sound when you stepped on it.
"It's really a sign of a good harvest!" Xu Nuo felt much more energetic after being blown by the cold wind. She raised her head, raised her hand to catch the goose-feather-sized snowflakes, and revealed a peaceful smile.
At this time, it was just past midnight.
The crackling sound of cannons resounded across the earth, and Xu Nuo covered his ears and ran home.
Lu Chen pulled her out from behind: "Do you want to set off fireworks?"
"Well, can we let it go?" Xu Nuo asked.
It is usually not allowed to do so due to concerns about causing fire or other dangers.
But, this is just usually the case.
Since setting off firecrackers during the New Year is a form of fun for children, the parents in the courtyard turned a blind eye and allowed them to set off firecrackers, small fireworks and the like in specific locations.
Kicking firecrackers is definitely not allowed.
"Only once."
Xu Nuo stood there covering his ears and waiting, only to see Lu Chen return home. After a moment, he brought out a firework.
He put it on the ground, lit a cigarette, and handed the butt to Xu Nuo: "You go?"
Xu Nuo shook his head repeatedly and said, "I just want to watch."
"Okay, then I'll go." Lu Chen stepped forward, lit the fireworks, ran back quickly, and stood beside Xu Nuo.
I don’t know what happened at that moment, but the sound of artillery fire in the whole city suddenly stopped for a few seconds.
Xu Nuo watched the little red dot rise into the sky, and after a bang, gorgeous flowers bloomed, lighting up the sky.
Her eyes lit up instantly and a smile spread across her lips, brighter than the fireworks in the sky.
"Happy New Year! Nuonuo!" Lu Chen looked at her profile and said in a low voice.
"Happy New Year!" Xu Nuo turned around, his voice cheerful and smiling.
Lu Chen's heart moved slightly, and he lowered his head and kissed her.
The quiet world suddenly became lively again, and fireworks filled the night sky.
This kiss was deep and long, causing both of their hearts to beat faster, their breathing to become disordered, and a desire for each other grew in their hearts.
After they separated, they smiled at each other tacitly.
Lu Chen picked her up by the waist and walked into his home.
Before the lights were turned on, the shoes and clothes of the two people were scattered all over the floor, spreading from the first floor to the second floor.
By the time Xu Nuo was pressed down on the bed by Lu Chen, she had been stripped naked, and her snow-white shoulders trembled slightly in the cold air.
