After a while, the two of them walked out of the political department.
Gao Peng glanced at the two of them and felt a sense of pressure lingering in his heart again. He was so nervous that his fingertips tightened slightly without him noticing.
Jiang Xiachu had a constant smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
But Lu Huaiyan standing aside looked like something was not right.
The face was so cold that it was about to freeze, and his deep black eyes were filled with a chilling coldness. He strode out the door without saying a word.
Jiang Xiachu came out earlier than him, so he walked in front of him.
Lu Huaiyan lowered his eyes slightly, looked at Jiang Xiachu's back, and followed him with big strides, taking two steps at a time and suddenly reaching Jiang Xiachu's side.
Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Xiachu suddenly quickened his pace and immediately distanced himself from him before he could react.
Lu Huaiyan frowned and looked at her.
Jiang Xiachu immediately turned around, stretched out his palm to block himself, smiled and said: "Our marriage report is now invalid. We will have no special relationship in the future. Let's keep our distance."
"You don't have to send me home. I can go home by myself. I'm an adult now and don't need anyone to take care of me."
Jiang Xiachu emphasized the words "keep your distance".
Before Lu Huaiyan could answer, Jiang Xiachu seemed to suddenly remember something and continued, "By the way, when we are in the army, it is best if we do not have any contact. People's words are scary. I don't want to be the topic of discussion, and I don't want anyone to misunderstand our relationship."
"So, this is the only way to avoid all this from happening. When the time comes, I won't take the initiative to tell anyone that I know you, and I hope you won't tell anyone either. Just treat us as strangers and never know each other."
After finishing all the words in one breath, Jiang Xiachu smiled and said, "Okay, is there anything else? I'm leaving first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiachu left.
Lu Huaiyan's mind was still immersed in Jiang Xiachu's words just now. He was stunned for a moment and was about to reach out and grab Jiang Xiachu, wanting to say something to her.
But she left without hesitation.
The fingertips paused in mid-air and brushed across Jiang Xiachu's fleeting hair, giving her a tingling sensation.
Lu Huaiyan looked at Jiang Xiachu's receding back, feeling mixed and heavy in his heart.
In the past, he always felt that separating from Jiang Xiachu would be good for both of them, just like two roads going in different directions, only by walking separately can they avoid hindering each other.
But now, why do I feel so uncomfortable?
Even he himself could not understand the complicated emotions in his heart.
It's very strange, just like rheumatism on a cloudy day, it doesn't hurt or itch, but it always makes people feel uncomfortable, lingering in their hearts and can't be shaken off.
Why is this?
-
Jiang Xiachu had just arrived downstairs at the Political Department and looked up to see the scene on the playground opposite.
The newly recruited soldiers were wearing neat military uniforms. In the sunshine, they were all energetic and lined up in neat rows. Every row and column was as straight and neat as if it had been measured with a ruler.
Slogans rose one after another, echoing throughout the military compound.
Jiang Xiachu couldn't help but stop and look a few more times, looking forward to his life after joining the army.
"Miss Jiang? I didn't expect to meet you here."
Just when he was fascinated by the show, he suddenly heard a familiar male voice. Jiang Xiachu turned around and saw who it was.
Pei Yunchen was wearing a neat military uniform with a smile on his face.
Jiang Xiachu waved at him, "Brother Pei, what a coincidence."
When she shifted her gaze, she saw that there was a man standing next to Pei Yunchen. The difference was that the man was wearing a white coat.
Pei Yunchen is over 1.80 meters tall, but the man in the white coat seems to be taller than Pei Yunchen.
Jiang Xiachu looked at him and was stunned for a moment.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Using the word "handsome" to describe the man in front of her seemed a bit frivolous and abrupt, but that face made her at a loss for words.
The man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. His eyes behind the frames were deep and distant. His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples. The lines on his face were tough yet exceptionally delicate.
Jiang Xiachu was looking at him in a daze, but the man's originally stern face suddenly seemed to break the ice. He chuckled lightly, and a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
There was also a little more warmth in his eyes.
He leaned forward slightly, looked at Jiang Xiachu with his eyes lowered, and said softly: "Chuchu, what, don't you remember me?"
The man's voice was particularly low and hoarse.
Pei Yunchen was looking at Wei Zhao who was smiling at him, and suddenly he felt a chill creeping into his body, making him shiver.
His heart skipped a beat and he turned around to look for the source of the cold air. Sure enough, he saw Lu Huaiyan standing at the stairs, motionless, staring at Wei Zhao with a serious look.
It's over.
Although Lu Huaiyan didn't say it, based on his understanding of this man, he must be furious at this moment.
Jiang Xiachu raised her eyes and looked at the man's delicate face, feeling a little confused.
Calling her "Chu Chu" should mean that you are someone you were very familiar with.
She frantically searched her memory for memories of this face for a long time, and suddenly thought of someone.
Jiang Xiachu took one more look at the man in front of him and asked tentatively: "Brother Wei Zhao?"
When Wei Zhao heard his satisfactory answer, the smile on his face deepened, and he nodded and said, "I thought you would forget about me."
Jiang Xiachu smiled and said, "How could that be? It's just that we haven't seen each other since you moved away. It's been so long, and your appearance has changed a bit. You have to look carefully to see it."
"And I didn't expect that you would be in the army."
Looking at the way he was dressed, if she guessed correctly, he should be a military doctor in the army.
In her previous life, after Wei Zhao moved away, he seemed to have never returned to the compound, and she had never seen him after she married Lu Huaiyan.
However, she still had a good impression of Wei Zhao. They often played together when they were young, but Wei Zhao was a little introverted at that time and spoke less, which was more like her.
Wei Zhao saw Lu Huaiyan from a distance, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he ignored the man's dark face, smiled at Jiang Xiachu, stretched out his hand and said: "Chuchu, long time no see."
Jiang Xiachu nodded, stretched out his hand and shook his, smiling and said, "Long time no see."
She couldn't help but lower her eyes to look at Wei Zhao's hands. Those hands were slender and beautiful, with distinct joints. The skin on the back of his hands was white, with faintly visible light blue blood vessels. There was a layer of calluses where he held the scalpel.
Jiang Xiachu lowered his eyes, but for some reason he couldn't help but take one more look.
Pei Yunchen watched the two of them chatting and laughing, and felt the coldness behind him growing stronger. Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he felt inexplicably nervous.
