"Xia Chu, I'll go back and share some with everyone! You should come back soon too!" Lin Qingli's mind was now full of the bag of delicious food in her arms, and she happily skipped back to the dormitory.
She was very happy and kept humming a little tune on her way back.
Qin Ningqian glanced at Jiang Xiachu and Lu Huaiyan, then turned to look at Lin Qingli's back. After hesitating for a moment, he finally followed Lin Qingli away.
She always felt that the atmosphere between Jiang Xiachu and Lu Huaiyan was weird.
It’s better to leave quickly.
After a while, Jiang Xiachu and Lu Huaiyan were the only ones left under the tree.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Xiachu was about to leave, but Lu Huaiyan called her again, as if he had something to say.
Jiang Xiachu looked up at him, his heart sank, and he groaned inwardly.
Why did the two of them leave without waiting for her? Leaving her alone with Lu Huaiyan would be more likely to arouse suspicion.
There were so many people training at this moment, and eyes were cast everywhere. Jiang Xiachu pretended to be calm, but he felt like a thorn in his back. He took a deep breath, faced against the light, and glared at Lu Huaiyan from an angle where no one could see.
Then, she lowered her voice and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
After he finished speaking, Jiang Xiachu looked around, saw the people around him, and let out a breath. He always felt unsafe. In desperation, he simply reached out, grabbed Lu Huaiyan's arm, and dragged him into the shadow behind the tree.
The sky was dark and the night was thick. Against the light and in the shadows, Jiang Xiachu could only vaguely see the blurred outline of Lu Huaiyan's face, but could not make out the expression on his face.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Lu Huaiyan did not speak for a long time.
Jiang Xiachu sighed speechlessly and asked unhappily, "Brother, what on earth are you doing? You said you had something to do, but you didn't say a word. It's really ugly to keep pestering me like this!"
"If someone finds out and accuses you of having an affair, I will report you without hesitation!"
She took a step back and pretended to turn and leave.
After hearing this, Lu Huaiyan was not in a hurry and asked calmly, "Why, didn't you say before that you regarded me as your brother? As your brother, what's inappropriate about visiting your sister who is also in the army?"
Lu Huaiyan said, looking at her with interest, and moved a little closer, speaking in a deep voice, as if he didn't want her to leave, and directly grabbed the corner of her clothes, chuckling and saying: "Or, do you have something to hide?"
Lu Huaiyan emphasized the last few words.
Jiang Xiachu's face darkened instantly, and she became even angrier. She raised her hand and slapped away his hand that was pulling at the corner of his clothes, "Brother? Since you are my brother, please let go of my clothes and stop touching me."
"There are differences between men and women, I hope you will pay attention to this."
Jiang Xiachu said this in an unpleasant tone, but he didn't expect that the slap would hit the wound he got during the field training a few days ago.
The wound was caused by a sharp stone during field training on a rainy day. The wound was very deep and required stitches. Although a few days had passed, he did not have much rest during training and the wound was torn in the middle of training, so he had to stitch it again.
So even after a few days, I still haven't recovered.
After being slapped so hard by her, Lu Huaiyan groaned in pain, his brows furrowed tightly, and he subconsciously covered the wound.
When Jiang Xiachu heard his voice, his heart suddenly tightened and he looked at him guiltily.
Did she use that much force? Looking at his appearance, why did it seem so painful?
Although the light was dim, she seemed to be able to sense that Lu Huaiyan looked a little gloomy.
Lu Huaiyan tightened his fingertips, and the pain became more and more obvious. He looked at Jiang Xiachu's appearance, and Wei Zhao's appearance suddenly flashed through his mind.
Whenever Jiang Xiachu was with Wei Zhao, she would greet him with a smile and her attitude was much better than towards him. So what was it about Wei Zhao that attracted her so much?
It was nothing more than using some dirty tricks and schemes that he despised, pretending to be weak on purpose to gain sympathy in front of Jiang Xiachu.
Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyan's eyes flashed, as if he suddenly remembered something.
He gritted his teeth, and somehow raised his injured hand, frowning in pain, "hiss——"
Lu Huaiyan's face was full of pain, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he took several breaths of cold air.
He pondered over it for a long time in his mind, constantly recalling the tone of Wei Zhao's words, and finally spoke hesitantly after a long while: "It hurts..."
Jiang Xiachu looked puzzled: "..."
Watching Lu Huaiyan's sudden performance, she was stunned at first, and then almost laughed out loud.
She tried to suppress her laughter, "What are you doing? You must have taken the wrong medicine today!"
This was the first time she heard such words from Lu Huaiyan. If it were in the past, he would never speak to others like this.
She had never heard the words "it hurts" from Lu Huaiyan's mouth.
The more Jiang Xiachu thought about it, the funnier it became, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The moon climbed up the branches, and the silver moonlight poured down, shining on Jiang Xiachu's face, illuminating her smiling eyes and upturned mouth corners.
Lu Huaiyan was still a little angry in his heart, but when he saw Jiang Xiachu's smile, he was a little distracted for a moment.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed on her face, watching her unable to stop smiling, a scene from the past flashed through his mind.
In the past, when he was with Jiang Xiachu, she would always laugh unrestrainedly like this.
Lu Huaiyan looked at Jiang Xiachu and involuntarily stretched out his hand, moving his fingertips slightly, wanting to touch Jiang Xiachu's face.
Jiang Xiachu was still thinking about Lu Huaiyan's awkward voice just now, but the next second she noticed his movements. The smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a serious look.
She swallowed her saliva, looked serious, and quickly took a step back, avoiding Lu Huaiyan's hand without hesitation. She took a deep breath and said coldly: "If it hurts, go to the infirmary. I'm not a military doctor. What's the point of telling me? Stop complaining here."
"Which soldier isn't thick-skinned? Getting injured is common. Just treat the injury. What's the big deal? Can you see any soldier who gets injured and acts like you, begging for sympathy in front of a woman?"
Lu Huaiyan listened to her long speech and his expression changed instantly: "..."
Where did Jiang Xiachu learn this change of expression? He was clearly laughing happily just now, but in the blink of an eye, his face turned cold and he even gave him a long paragraph of insults.
He was stunned when he heard this.
Playing pity on women?
He lowered his head, looked at his hands, and raised his eyes in disbelief.
Why is it that he is playing the victim here? Isn't this woman treating others too differently?
