Chapter 343 Recognition
The reunion of the two came so suddenly that Lu Chen almost trembled as he called out the name: "Jian Rui!"
Jian Rui's eyes instantly turned red, and his lips trembled for a few times before he uttered a sound: "..Lu Chen."
At this moment, all doubts disappeared.
Lu Chen rushed forward in two steps at a time, and Jian Rui also staggered to his feet. The two men hugged each other tightly, and Jian Rui's tears soaked Lu Chen's military uniform.
"Brother!" Jian Rui's voice was choked with sobs, "It's been so many years...it's been so many years since we last saw each other!"
Lu Chen patted his back vigorously: "I didn't expect to see you here."
The Lu family was stunned, but Lu Lao Er was the first to react: "Come in and talk, sit down and chat slowly."
After returning to the house, Lu Chen couldn't wait to ask the most concerned question: "Why are you here? Lin Ya has always thought that you have become a vegetable... Do you know Lin Ya's situation? Do you know who she is working for?"
Jian Rui smiled bitterly: "I was pretending. If I didn't pretend, I was afraid that Xiaoya would be killed by them. I have been enduring until now, and then I found a chance to escape."
He touched the plaster on his leg and said, "I have been looking for opportunities to ask for help these days, but the other side is watching me too closely... In order to survive, I have to heal my wounds first."
"I didn't expect that you two siblings had such a hard time over the years." Lu Chen held Jian Rui's hand.
Jian Ruihui held Lu Chen's hand and looked at Xu Nuo with some gratitude: "Thanks to Dr. Xu, if it weren't for her, I don't know how long I would have stayed here!"
"When I first met you, I always felt that you were a little familiar. After thinking about it for a while, I finally realized that you look a lot like Lin Ya. So, I have been paying attention to you." Xu Nuo said with a smile.
"Thanks to your attentiveness, I can meet Lu Chen! Doctor Xu, after we meet Lin Ya, my brother and I will treat you to a meal!" Jian Rui said.
"Just treat her to a meal?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jian Rui looked ashamed: "Logically speaking, you saved my life and let me meet Lu Chen, I should thank you very much. However, I have nothing now, and I can only treat you to a meal. But don't worry, I will remember your kindness to me for the rest of my life."
Xu Nuo pursed his lips and smiled: "I think Lu Chen's words may not mean what you understand."
"What does that mean?" Jian Rui looked confused.
"Aren't you going to invite me?" Lu Chen asked.
"We are brothers who grew up together. We will have plenty of opportunities to eat together in the future! We can have as many meals as we want!"
Seeing that Jian Rui still didn't understand what he meant, Lu Chen raised his lips and said, "You don't have to thank her so deliberately. We are family and don't have different opinions."
"That won't do." Jian Rui waved his hands repeatedly, "Doctor Xu saved my life. If I don't repay him with gratitude, wouldn't I be an ungrateful person?"
"Forget it, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush to tease him." Xu Nuo really couldn't help it anymore.
"Come, let me introduce her to you." Lu Chen stood up, walked to Xu Nuo's side, and put his arm around her waist. "This is Xu Nuo - my wife! She's also your sister-in-law!"
Jian Rui suddenly realized: "Oh my God! Oh my God! I really... I really didn't expect it! This world is so magical!"
"Yes." Xu Nuo pursed her lips and looked at him with a smile, "So you know why I called Lu Chen here to see you? I know everything about the two of you!"
"I understand, I finally understand!"
"Let's get acquainted again! My name is Xu Nuo, and I work in the same department as Jian Ya in the Military Hospital." Xu Nuo took the initiative to extend his hand.
Jian Rui held it tightly: "Jian Rui, Lu Chen's childhood friend."
"Now we all know each other. You can meet us often when you go to the city." Lu Chen said.
"I'm looking forward to going with you and meeting my sister Xiaoya as soon as possible." Jian Rui's heart was excited and happy.
He felt like he was alive again.
After so many years, I once again felt anticipation and happiness.
"You can come with us this afternoon. When we get to the city, I will arrange for you to be admitted to the military hospital." Lu Chen was already planning the next steps for Jian Rui.
"I'm fine."
"Let's get a full checkup and see how your legs are doing. If there's nothing wrong, then all you have to do is rest."
Seeing that Lu Chen cared so much about him, Jian Rui did not refuse and agreed directly.
A few people were talking when Lu Laoer came over with a kettle and a box of tea.
"I've just boiled some hot water. I'll make you some tea."
Lu Chen stood up and said, "Uncle Lu, thank you. We won't drink the tea. I have to rush back to the army. As for Chen Rui, I will take him away first."
"You're leaving now?" Lv Lao Er tried to persuade them to stay, "I'll make you some dumplings for lunch before you leave."
"No need, Uncle Lu." Jian Rui stood up with the help of a cane and held Lu Laoer's hands. "Thanks to your care during this period, thank you very much! I will be leaving soon and will not trouble you anymore."
"What are you talking about? Why bother?" Seeing that Jian Rui was about to leave, Lu Lao Er felt that there was no need to hide anything, so he said directly, "The Lu Zhenghua you are looking for is my brother. Since you know my brother, it must be that your parents and my brother are also friends. It's my duty to take care of you!"
"I know. I see."
Just like Xu Nuo recognized the relationship between him and Jian Ya through their facial expressions, he also realized the relationship between him and Uncle Lu Zhenghua through Lu Laoer's facial expressions.
He could more or less guess the reason why Lu Laoer didn't say anything.
He is a man of unknown origin, and he knows nothing about anything. Anyone who meets him would be a little wary of him.
Seeing that Jian Rui understood, Xu Nuo didn't explain anything.
He is a smart man and should be able to figure out the reasons behind this.
After leaving Lu Laoer's house, Lu Chen drove Xu Nuo and Jian Rui to the village branch.
Xu Nuo got out of the car, leaned on the window and said, "Since you are busy in the army, you should go back first. My work here should be almost done, and I will go home as soon as I finish what I am doing now."
"Okay." Lu Chen nodded, "Then I'll wait for you at home."
"Okay! Then...bye!"
Lu Chen started the car again. As they were about to part, both of them showed reluctance in their eyes.
Although the anti-epidemic work has come to an end, the specific time for the team to withdraw still needs to wait for orders from superiors.
No one knows exactly when he will return.
"Let's go, and be careful on the road." Xu Nuo waved his hand gently and said goodbye to Lu Chen reluctantly.
Lu Chen raised his hand and pointed at his cheek.
Xu Nuo smiled and shook his head.
This man is really shameless. He was not like this when he first got married.
In front of his friends, he actually let me kiss him!
How embarrassing!
Jian Rui coughed, turned his head away, and pretended to appreciate the surrounding scenery: "I can't see it, kiss me quickly if you want."
"Hmm?" Lu Chen deliberately turned his head away and gestured to Xu Nuo again.
She lowered her head and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek, as fleeting as a dragonfly touching the water.
Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he felt satisfied.
"I'm leaving, bye!" Xu Nuo turned around and ran towards the courtyard of the village branch.
Lu Chen turned the steering wheel and drove away. He saw Xu Nuo standing in the distance and waving at him in the rearview mirror.
He honked his horn in response and slowly drove out of the village.
