With love on his mind, Lu Cheng looked at Su Wan's pale little hand placed on his side and thought it must be very soft and easy to hold.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stretched out his hand boldly and grabbed Su Wan's hand in his palm.
Su Wan was startled by his sudden action. In this age where men and women would be accused of adultery if they said a few more words, she instinctively wanted to retract her hand and get rid of his restraints.
Lu Chengxiao coughed lightly in panic. The smooth feeling made him reluctant to let go, so he held it even tighter.
Su Wan did not dare to make any noise, but just competed with him secretly. Unfortunately, her strength was nothing compared to Lu Chengru.
Lu Chengru glanced at the two people in front of him calmly, and then used his eyes to warn Su Wan that if she dared to move again, the two people in front would be watching her.
Su Wan didn't expect that this seemingly serious man was actually so frivolous behind the scenes.
Aren't soldiers supposed to be solemn and sacred, and serious in their words and deeds? However, Lu Cheng's current actions somewhat subverted her previous cognition.
She lived for two lifetimes before she met him, and they somehow developed that kind of relationship on the first day they met.
Now, apart from knowing each other's name and being neighbors, they knew nothing else. Apart from the silent communication last night, they were actually no different from strangers. She couldn't understand why Lu Chengzhi acted like he was a lover she had known for a long time and dared to hold her hand directly in the car.
Lu Cheng: Soldiers are also human beings. We have emotions and love for our children. Besides, didn’t we do everything last night, including what we should and shouldn’t do? Now all we need is a marriage certificate. What’s wrong with holding hands?
Receiving Lu Chengzhi's warning look, Su Wan didn't dare to move anymore, let alone make any sound, and could only let Lu Chengzhi hold it tightly.
Her body was stiff and she sat straight, fearing that any small movement of hers would be considered by Lu Chengru as teasing him.
Su Wan was really afraid that he might have a brain spasm and do something inappropriate again, which would make his two comrades-in-arms a laughing stock.
Last night when Lu Chengzhi was bathing her, he already knew that her skin was very good and smooth. Now her warm little hands were soft and smooth in his palms, as if they had no bones. His thumbs kneaded her palms restlessly, and his heart had softened into a pool of water.
This is probably what people call the feeling of being in love, right?
Lu Cheng-Rou thought he was in love.
He fell in love with the girl with whom he had skin contact.
He joined the army at the age of 15 and has been in the army for almost ten years.
During these ten years, he had fought in the battlefield, killed enemies, and served his motherland wholeheartedly, hoping that China would become strong as soon as possible and no longer be bullied by other countries.
At that time, with a passion and a sense of mission for his country, he actively joined the front line, facing the hail of bullets every day, without thinking about personal problems at all.
The death of his brother two years ago made him realize that he was needed at home. His aging parents and the hungry nephews and nieces all needed his care.
He didn't know how many years Wang Xiao'e could stay in the Lu family, and he felt that she would leave sooner or later.
If she left, he would have to take on the responsibility of supporting his parents and helping his brother raise his children.
He hadn't even gotten married yet, and he had to support a large family. Under these circumstances, he didn't have the confidence to fall in love with the girl.
Besides, after paying for his personal expenses, he has to send the rest of his salary back home, so dating a girlfriend doesn't cost money.
Even if he can afford the money for a relationship temporarily, the two of them cannot just stay in the dating stage. Once the time is up, they have to get married and form a new family.
With his current ability, he is no longer able to support a family.
So even though there were girls who showed interest in him over the years, after comprehensive consideration, he felt that if he accepted them, he would be hurting them as well as himself.
Supporting the parents-in-law is fine, but which woman would be willing to raise someone else's child? Even if she says she is willing now, when they really start to live in the future, they will need money for everything, and when they have no money, the two of them will definitely be angry.
Rather than making a big fuss then, it would be better to think positively now and not get married.
Therefore, when faced with the pursuit of those female soldiers, Lu Chengru never dared to be tempted.
Ever since what happened with Su Wan last night, he experienced the beauty of women for the first time.
My original determination to not get married or fall in love collapsed in an instant.
On the one hand, it was out of a sense of responsibility. Since he had touched her, he had to be responsible for her. On the other hand, he found that he liked this beautiful girl.
It's not just because of her body, there's also the phrase love at first sight.
With love in front of him, he suddenly felt that the problems that had troubled him in the past were no longer difficult to cross.
Isn't it just a few more mouths to open? Then he should work harder and strive to become a battalion commander or a regiment commander sooner...
The national economy will only get better and better in the future, and he believes that as long as he works hard, there will always be a way.
You see, sometimes people are so hypocritical. When they meet the right person, even the ideas they have always held can be easily changed.
A car with four wheels runs fast. Lu Chengru felt that the car had reached the county town in a short while.
He held Su Wan's hand tightly all the way, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear, and he was reluctant to let go for a moment.
"Where did you get off?" he asked Su Wan in a low voice.
"A shopping mall."
Hearing this, Lu Chengru directed his command to Guo Yang in front of him, "Guo Yang, drive the car to the truck company and stop."
Guo Yang responded and the car continued to move forward.
The entire county town is not big, and it takes about 10 minutes to drive there.
In the blink of an eye, the car had stopped at the door of the shopping mall.
Only after the car came to a complete stop did Lu Chengru let go of Su Wan's hand.
Because he clenched it too tightly, Su Wan's fingers were left with hand marks. He looked at her red fingers with some regret. If Guo Yang and the others were not in the car, he would have helped her rub them no matter what.
Su Wan didn't care about all this. She thanked them and said goodbye, then quickly opened the car door and got out.
She had to find someone to sell her job quickly, fearing that the Qin family would take action if it was too late.
Qin Zhengye still has some connections in this county, so it is not particularly difficult for him to tamper with her work, so she has to get this done first.
Lu Chengxiao got out of the car shortly after. Seeing Su Wan walk into the shopping mall without looking back after getting out of the car, he suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Doesn't this girl have any attachment to him at all? Why did she leave so easily?
If he didn't call her, he didn't know if she would come back.
One, two... He bet she would look back at him.
When he silently called out the numbers, Su Wan had already stepped into the threshold of the shopping mall. There was no sign of looking back, and the loss in her heart was infinitely magnified.
Lu Chengxiao couldn't gamble anymore, so he hurriedly shouted at Su Wan's back, "Su Wan."
