The young soldiers on the ship, their dark faces baring their teeth, shouted in unison, "Yes!"
Qi Feng nodded towards Lu Ze with his chin, "See, I wasn't lying."
Then he roared again, "If you want to, you'd better hurry up and get to work. On the way back, I'll have Commander Lu give you a go at it."
Upon hearing this, cheers erupted from both the ship and the water, with everyone chanting in unison, "Regiment Lu! Regiment Lu!"
Hearing this deafening shout, Yu Yao finally realized just how popular Lu Ze was in the army, as described in the book.
Yu Yao was touched by the soldiers' simple and warm smiles and smiled along with them.
Seeing Yu Yao smile, Lu Ze rarely showed a smile himself. He said to the soldiers, "If you want me to spar with you, then step up your game and show your sister-in-law the speed of our island soldiers."
"Commander Lu and sister-in-law, just watch and see, I guarantee the mission will be completed within half an hour."
The young soldier had long admired Lu Ze, and now that he had the chance to see Commander Lu demonstrate his skills, he was full of enthusiasm.
Especially since Lu Tuan brought his wife along, they couldn't afford to let him down.
After boarding the ship, young soldiers helped them carry their luggage into the ship's cabin.
Yu Yao handed over the military water bottle, "Uncle Yue, have some water first."
Yue Shan took the water bottle, drank a few sips, and handed the military water bottle to Yu Yao: "I'll see you off here, Yu Yao. Later, if you want any furniture, just tell your uncle. Don't be shy, being too polite will make things awkward. Understand?"
Yu Yao smiled and said, "I understand, Uncle Yue."
Yue Shan patted Lu Ze on the shoulder and instructed, "Give my phone number to Yu Yao later. I'm leaving."
"Uncle Yue, please be careful on the road."
Yue Shan disembarked without looking back, waving his hand to indicate that he understood.
Seeing that Yu Yao and Aunt Ge looked tired, Lu Ze said to them, "You and Aunt Ge should go back to your room and get some sleep. The ship will be setting sail in a while. I'll go help out."
Yu Yao was indeed a little tired and her head was a bit dizzy. She didn't know if it was seasickness or if she was feeling stuffy because she was covered up too much.
Regardless of the cause, resting will make you feel much better.
"Okay, then we'll go in first."
Lu Ze watched Yu Yao's figure disappear into the cabin.
"Stop staring, they're already inside. If you keep staring, you'll turn into a statue waiting for your wife."
Qi Feng couldn't help but tease, "Hey Lao Lu, where did that aloof and cold-hearted tyrant who used to keep his distance from women go? Do you remember what you used to say? Let me show you."
He recalled for a moment, then mimicked Lu Ze's expressionless face and said in a serious tone, "I only want to dedicate my life to the island. I'm not interested in marriage and have no plans to get married. You've contradicted yourself, haven't you!"
Lu Ze glanced at him expressionlessly, and while taking off his shirt, said, "What do you know? You don't even have a girlfriend!"
Qi Feng: "..."
Is this how they were talking today?!
Lu Ze continued, "If you want to be a 'waiting-for-wife stone,' you'd better find a partner first!"
Qi Feng: "..."
It feels like my heart has been shot several times; my heart hurts so much!
Wearing a pine-green vest, Lu Ze continued to add insult to injury: "Although I said I wasn't interested in marriage and had no plans to get married, I am now married."
Qi Feng: "..."
After Lu Ze finished speaking, he ignored Qi Feng's expression and went to help on the deck wearing a vest, leaving Qi Feng alone, bewildered in the wind.
The tall, bear-like man looked pitiful, weak, and helpless.
Was he humiliating himself?
...
Yu Yao slept for an hour and felt much better after waking up.
The cabin was a little bumpy, but not serious.
She showed no signs of seasickness and adapted well.
Just then, a burst of cheers came from outside, making it sound very lively.
Yu Yao changed into a clean set of clothes and pants, and tied her hair into a braid and then into a bun.
After checking himself in the green plastic mirror and confirming that everything was alright, he opened the door and went out.
When we arrived at the place where the sound came from, we looked around.
The soldiers, wearing pine-green vests and bare-chested, sat around on the deck, sometimes cheering, sometimes laughing and joking.
In the middle, Lu Ze is fighting Qi Feng.
During the intense exchange, you could even hear the sound of fists hitting flesh.
Under the sunlight, Lu Ze's muscular physique was beautifully defined, like a nimble cheetah leaping and striking, full of explosive power.
A surge of masculine hormones emanated from him, carrying a unique aura that was both refreshing and intense, characteristic of Lu Ze.
That vitality and tension seemed to be thrust right in front of Yu Yao, causing a surge of emotion in everyone's hearts.
Yu Yao had seen two men boxing before.
In my past life at the boxing gym, there were plenty of men who liked to show off, but most of them were muscular, greasy, and ordinary, making people frown at them.
Lu Ze gives off a very different vibe.
His limbs were long and slender, his muscles were just right, and there was not an ounce of excess fat on his body. Every move he made was swift and aimed directly at vital points, yet he could control his movements with ease.
That effortless demeanor, paired with that ascetic face, truly exudes a unique charm.
After a few rounds, Qi Feng, panting heavily, admitted defeat.
The soldiers cheered, and the name of the Marine Regiment resounded across the sea.
"Thank you for the courtesy." Lu Ze caught a glimpse of Yu Yao out of the corner of his eye, then walked straight towards her. "How was your rest?"
"I rested very well."
"Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Would you like something to eat or some water?"
Yu Yao shook her head, then poked her head out and curiously watched the two young warriors sparring in the middle.
Qi Feng also saw someone approaching, and the moment he saw Yu Yao's appearance clearly, his voice suddenly rose an octave, "This is... your sister-in-law?"
