"I'll be gentle."
His voice lowered further, with a faint hint of hoarseness.
"Um."
After applying the band-aid, Su Wantang immediately pulled her hand back.
She pouted and complained, revealing her girlish charm.
"If you make any noise when you come back later, I'm easily startled."
"Um."
Lu Huai'an stared at the syringe wrapped around Su Wantang's arm and asked, "Are you practicing acupuncture?"
"Um."
Suddenly, a large, wheat-colored hand reached out, back of the hand facing up. Su Wantang looked at Lu Huai'an in confusion.
"Stab me, apologize."
Su Wantang's eyes lit up.
Are you sure?
"Um."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Su Wantang immediately clenched her large hands and placed them on her knees.
Perhaps it was because Lu Huai'an was in the army, but when the rubber band was inserted, the veins on his hand were particularly prominent. Su Wantang usually used acupuncture needles and was quite skilled, so she didn't make a mistake and inserted the needle in one go.
She subconsciously curved her eyebrows into a smile, but then quickly became disappointed.
"What's wrong?"
"Thick blood vessels? That's too simple."
"Um."
However, Su Wantang did not give up on such a good practice partner.
So, he pestered Lu Huai'an and practiced on his feet and scalp again.
Under the incandescent light, a sturdy military uniform man, barefoot, knelt on one knee like a doll, while a serious-looking girl earnestly studied and explored.
"Hey, have you heard? We got a new nurse at our military hospital, she's incredibly beautiful! Even more beautiful than the female soldiers in the performing arts troupe! Big eyes, small mouth, and skin as dazzling as tofu!"
"Do you think she might be the division commander's daughter?"
"I think it's probably true, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? She's beautiful and a doctor, and being a doctor isn't something just anyone can do."
"Nonsense! That's clearly my sister-in-law! Our Battalion Commander Lu's wife!" Liu Hu said unhappily.
My sister-in-law is my sister-in-law! She's not some teacher's daughter!
"Commander Lu got married? When did that happen?"
Just two days ago.
"Liu Hu, are you talking nonsense? How can you get a marriage certificate issued so quickly?"
"Whoever lies gets shot by the Japanese! That's our sister-in-law! Our sister-in-law is such a good person!"
......
Although Liu Hu spoke with great conviction, few people believed him.
After all, Lu Huai'an has a reputation for not being interested in women, and there's also the matter of marriage application approval, so it's impossible for it to be done so quickly.
Huo Jun thought so too.
However, he thought one step further than others. He was still a little unsure at first, but after hearing what Liu Hu said, he was now quite certain that the new nurse at the hospital was the division commander's daughter.
It seems... Lu Huai'an is no different from him.
Who will become the division commander's son-in-law? Let's see who has the better strategy!
Huo Jun had already begun to think about how to pursue Su Wantang.
After finishing his meal in the cafeteria, he went to the administration building.
"Take leave? What for?"
"To resolve the most important matters in life."
"Good lad! You've accomplished something big without making a sound! Which girl is she? From the military? Or from a nearby village?"
"I'll let you know after it's all done."
"Oh ho, you're keeping it a secret from me now?"
"Alright, I'll approve this day off."
He instructed, "Strike decisively and swiftly, demonstrating the spirit of our soldiers."
"yes."
After getting leave from his superior, Huo Jun borrowed a bicycle from a comrade-in-arms, exchanged it for a watch voucher, and rode to the county department store.
Huo Jun is a platoon leader, and his monthly allowance is fifty-two yuan.
After spending almost two months' allowance, Huo Jun gritted his teeth and bought a Plum Blossom brand watch.
I also bought some pastries and White Rabbit milk candy... some snacks that girls like.
That makes another ten yuan.
When he felt that was enough, Huo Jun stopped.
Although it hurt a little to spend the money, the thought of the future rewards, the mentor's father-in-law, and the career advancement made it all worthwhile.
After buying his things, he rode his bicycle home.
As he rode his bicycle on the road to the army base after leaving the county town, a crazy woman suddenly rushed out, calling his name, grabbed his arm, and forced him to stop.
"Huo Jun! Huo Jun! It's me! I'm Cuicui! Your fiancée!"
Where did he get a fiancée?
Even if such a person existed, it wouldn't be someone like Liu Cuicui.
Huo Jun didn't know how long he had been wearing dirty clothes, but he could smell a sour odor, and his black hair was stuck together with hair oil. Huo Jun almost vomited.
"Comrade, you've mistaken me for someone else!"
"impossible!"
In her past life, after divorcing Lu Huai'an, she was left to wander the streets. She had seen this face countless times in newspapers and on television, so there was absolutely no way she could mistake it!
Suddenly, Liu Cuicui's nostrils twitched.
"Brother Huo, did you know I was coming? You specially bought me food, Brother Huo! You're so kind! I've been starving for days!"
As she spoke, Liu Cuicui reached into the basket of pastries wrapped in oil paper, opened them, and began stuffing them into her mouth as if she hadn't eaten in centuries.
Liu Cuicui acted quickly, and Huo Jun had no time to stop her.
Seeing her greedy look, Huo Jun frowned deeply.
"Stay away from me, I'll turn around and take you to a state-run restaurant for dinner."
Liu Cuicui seemed to see the meat beckoning to her, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick her lips.
What kind of awful life has she been living these past few days?!
Fortunately, Brother Huo treated her well; in this life, she didn't choose the wrong person.
"Okay, Brother Huo."
Liu Cuicui greeted her happily, then kept her distance.
Seeing her walk away, Huo Jun took a deep breath, stomped his foot, and darted several meters away.
