After buying the pocket watch, Lu Huaiyan walked out of the department store and headed towards the troops.
Along the way, he held the pocket watch tightly, lowered his head, and stared at it, unable to move his eyes away.
On the way home, many eyes were cast in his direction, but he was completely unaware of it as his attention was completely focused on his pocket watch.
When I saw it, I felt inexplicably familiar and my thoughts became inexplicably hazy.
There were always some strange scenes in front of his eyes, as if they were in a dream, but also as if they were really happening, making it difficult for him to distinguish the truth from the false.
In the picture, he was always wearing the pocket watch.
It seemed like he was on the battlefield. He was standing in a combat tent holding a pocket watch. He looked a little disheveled, with wounds and blood all over his body. There were ruins all around him.
There was also the deafening sound of artillery fire in my ears.
Finally, he watched the pocket watch being picked up from the ground and then thrown into the valley.
Looking at the blurry scene, Lu Huaiyan suddenly felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
He frowned, shook his head, raised his hand and pressed hard on his temple, trying to wake himself up.
After a while, those images gradually disappeared from his sight.
Lu Huaiyan let out a long breath, not quite understanding the scenes in front of him, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
What does all this mean?
He didn't know why he suddenly saw these scenes. These things had clearly never happened in his memory.
Appearing out of nowhere, a daydream?
Lu Huaiyan was a little dazed along the way, and it took him a while to reach the army.
Originally, he planned to go home directly, but because he caught a human trafficker on the way, he had to go to the army first to resolve the matter. At this moment, Pei Yunchen was probably still waiting for him in the dormitory to discuss countermeasures with him.
When I arrived at the dormitory, the door was ajar. Pei Yunchen was sitting at the table, leaning his head out and looking with a slightly frown on his face.
He turned around and saw Lu Huaiyan, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why are you so late? Were you delayed on the way?"
He has been sitting here waiting for a long time.
Lu Huaiyan didn't explain too much about what happened today. He just nodded and responded with a simple word, "Yeah."
Pei Yunchen knew his temper, so he didn't ask any more questions. He leaned back on the chair and waved his hand, "Okay."
Lu Huaiyan walked to the table and sat down, opened the drawer in front of him, and flipped through a pile of documents. After a moment, he pulled out a very small ID photo.
The girl in the ID photo is Jiang Xiachu.
At that time, she still had bangs, looking at the camera with a smile, her eyes were big, and her bangs covered her entire forehead.
Pei Yunchen leaned over to look at the photo in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
The next second, Lu Huaiyan took out the pocket watch he had just bought from his arms, unlocked the buckle, and placed the pocket watch on the table.
Pei Yunchen was just about to talk about the human traffickers today, but when he saw the pocket watch, he was a little confused and asked him with a puzzled look, "Why did you buy a pocket watch too?"
Lu Huaiyan said nothing and silently placed the small ID photo on the table. Then he raised his hand and took the scissors that were placed beside him.
Pei Yunchen had an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and even suspected that he had recognized the wrong person.
Would Lu Huaiyan actually buy something like this for himself?
He is clearly a rough guy.
Lu Huaiyan still didn't reply, but picked up the scissors, placed the photo on the upper layer of the pocket watch, compared it again and again, and cut it carefully.
He looked so serious that Pei Yunchen felt a little unfamiliar.
Only after cutting it to the right size did Lu Huaiyan put down the scissors in his hand. He held the pocket watch in one hand, inserted the photo in, and pressed it carefully.
After finishing all this, Lu Huaiyan closed the pocket watch and put it on his body as if it were a treasure, completely ignoring Pei Yunchen who was standing beside him.
Pei Yunchen had a strange expression on his face, and couldn't help but stand up and look Lu Huaiyan over and over.
After a moment, he crossed his arms and asked, "You can't refute me this time, right? You just fell in love with Miss Jiang. You even bought a pocket watch and stuffed her photo in it. You can't still say that you treat her as your sister?"
Lu Huaiyan didn't say anything.
Pei Yunchen raised his eyebrows and smiled. Lu Huaiyan, who had always been stubborn and refused to admit anything, actually did not retort him. It seemed that he had really fallen this time.
He clicked his tongue, and before he could ask what happened, he heard Lu Huaiyan speak in a deep voice, "What should we do now? We're at a stalemate."
Originally, he and Jiang Xiachu had reported their marriage and were even engaged.
In the end, he didn't cherish her. When Jiang Xiachu said she wanted to cancel the engagement, he didn't try to persuade her to stay and agreed directly.
Now, their marriage report has been invalidated, and Jiang Xiachu has always said that they should keep their distance and get along as strangers.
It was too difficult for him to go back and look for Jiang Xiachu again.
She was so annoyed with herself now that she even had to avoid him and didn't want to have any more useless communication with him.
For the first time, Lu Huaiyan felt that he was at his wits' end.
Pei Yunchen looked at him, spread his hands helplessly, and sighed: "I don't know what to do. I have never encountered this situation. I was dating Su Nian, and she was the one who pursued me."
Su Nian was the first girl he liked and also his first love.
He had no experience in dating, and after falling in love with Su Nian, he didn't even realize it, and he foolishly treated her as a brother all day long.
It was also the first time that Su Nian liked a boy. Although she didn't know how to pursue someone, she heard from somewhere that it's easy for a girl to pursue a boy, so she was particularly bold and straightforward.
Thinking of this, Pei Yunchen couldn't help but smile, shaking his head and boasting, "Our Su Nian pursued me first. She said she liked me very much and came to see me every day."
"I was moved by her love, so I stayed with her."
Lu Huaiyan listened to his words, glanced at him sideways, and was too lazy to even listen to his nonsense.
Eight out of ten sentences are false.
Receiving Lu Huaiyan's look, Pei Yunchen was incredulous. He widened his eyes and explained, "Why, you still don't believe me? It was Su Nian who pursued me! She has liked me for a long time!"
Lu Huaiyan was speechless.
He spoke in such a confident tone. Did he forget who was the one who kept talking about Su Nian in his ear every day?
Pei Yunchen continued to chatter in his ear, but none of his words were of any use to him. Lu Huaiyan felt a headache after listening to him.
He raised his eyes and glared at Pei Yunchen, then said coldly, "Shut up."
"Why are you telling me to shut up? I'm just helping you analyze the situation... Hey... why are you pushing me?"
Before Pei Yunchen could finish his words, he was kicked out by Lu Huaiyan.
