Chapter 56

The hot breath of the fire spoon numbed her ears. Jiang Nian's body trembled uncontrollably. She turned her head to the side, trying to avoid Lu Yu. However, her chin was pinched by his rough fingers, forcing her to turn her head and her slender neck to be raised high.

"Hmm..."

Lu Yu's words were so strong that she couldn't resist them at all. The man's heavy breathing entangled with her breath. Jiang Nian's face instantly turned red. His stubble was a bit irritating, almost abusive to her.

Lu Yu turned her over, held her with his strong arms and put her on the cabinet beside him. Then he squeezed between her knees forcefully, put his big hands through her hair and grabbed the back of her head. Looking at Jiang Nian's eyes that were wet with excitement, for a moment, Lu Yu wanted to be crazier. He

wanted to see her cry, hear her sobbing sobs, and hear her shouting his name.

But he knew it would scare Jiang Nian.

Lu Yu's Adam's apple moved a few times, and he asked her, "Do you miss me?"

Jiang Nianhun's body was soft, and she was almost held in Lu Yu's arms, with her legs spread apart and hanging on the side of the cabinet. She had never thought that one day she would sit on the cabinet in this position.

"Do you miss me?"

Lu Yu asked again.

The deep love in his eyes was scary.

Jiang Nian didn't dare to look into Lu Yu's eyes, and lowered her head and whispered, "I do."

A low laugh rolled out of the man's throat, and he held the back of her head and kissed her hard, as if he wanted to make up for what he had missed in the past month at this moment.

Jiang Nian was out of breath, her fingers tightly grasped Lu Yu's clothes, the back of her hand suddenly felt heavy, Lu Yu held her hand, lifted the corner of her clothes and covered her waist, abdomen, and the palm of his hand suddenly touched the tight and strong abdominal muscles. Jiang Nian was so scared that she curled her fingers. Lu Yu left her lips and panted in her ear: "Be braver."

"Here, you can see and touch."

Jiang Nian's face instantly burned with fire.

She didn't expect that her previous disguises were seen through by Lu Yu, and she didn't expect Lu Yu to say it out loud. Jiang Nian had the courage to think, but not the courage to do it. She wanted to curl her fingers hard and push Lu Yu away, but the other party's strength was not something she could resist.

"Jiang Nian——"

"Are you home? I'm here to get the curtains."

The window was open, and Chen Fang's voice came from outside the courtyard gate. Jiang Nian was frightened and struggled to pull herself away from Lu Yu's hands: "Sister-in-law Chen is here, you let me go first."

Seeing how hard she struggled, Lu Yu restrained himself and hugged her down.

As soon as Jiang Nian landed on the ground, she took the curtain from the bed and ran out. She looked like there was a wolf behind her. When she ran to the gate, she saw that Lu Yu had locked the door. She breathed a sigh of relief, unbolted the door, and saw Sister Chen was about to knock on the door. She handed the curtain to her and said with a smile, "Sister Chen, I've finished embroidering it."

Chen Fang waited anxiously for two seconds . Oh my god, I took the curtain in my hand and shook it open to take a look. I saw a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on both sides of the curtain. The mandarin ducks were embroidered vividly. Many people in the family courtyard said that Deputy Tuan Lu's sister-in-law could embroider and her embroidery skills were great, but no one had ever really seen it. Today, I saw it and it was really the same as the rumors.

Chen Fang couldn't let go of the mandarin ducks and stroked them, smiling: "It's so beautiful, you have such a skillful hand."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Nian: "If you ask me, Song Bai can't just talk about dating with you, he should marry you home as soon as possible, you have such a skillful hand."

Jiang Nian: ???

What is her relationship with Song Bai?

How did it get involved with Song Bai?

Jiang Nian turned around subconsciously and saw Lu Yu coming out of the room, his eyebrows as majestic as mountains and rivers were tightly wrinkled. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked Chen Fang in front of Lu Yu: "Where did Sister Chen hear that Deputy Head Song and I were talking about a partner? You can't say that nonsense."

She had fallen in love with Lu Yu and had promised Lu Yu that she would marry him when the time was right.

Jiang Nian didn't want to be labeled a scumbag for no reason.

Chen Fang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Nian in surprise: "Are you two dating?"

"That's not right."

She frowned: "Didn't Song Bai buy you clothes that day?"

"Mom, my dad is urging you to go home."

Chen Fang's eldest son Tang Yong ran over holding his youngest sister Tang Fen's hand. The two children ran out of breath and shouted: "My dad said that my second uncle is waiting at home and is very anxious. He asked you to go back quickly."

"I'm coming."

Chen Fang said to Jiang Nian: "Jiang Nian, thank you for your embroidery, I'll go back first."

Jiang Nian:...

If you want to come, just come. What are you talking about? !

For the first time, Jiang Nian wanted to curse someone. She closed the gate in anger. When she turned around, she saw Lu Yu standing by the well. The man's eyes were always on her. Jiang Nian felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She pursed her lips and was about to explain when Feng Mei poked her head over the wall: "Jiang Nian, what did Chen Fang say? Are you and Song Bai dating?"

As she spoke, she had a surprised smile on her face.

Jiang Nian: ...

She couldn't suppress her anger. She turned around and said to Feng Mei: "No, no, no!"

Then she left.

Did she really not know who was spreading rumors?

Judging from the way Feng Mei asked the question just now, it seemed that she just found out.

Feng Mei saw Lu Yu in the yard and said with a smile: "Deputy Captain Lu, have you eaten yet?"

Lu Yu's voice was a little cold: "Not yet."

"Meizi, get off my feet! Why are you always leaning on the wall!"

"Got it."

Feng Mei turned her head to look at Captain Song who was sitting in the yard soaking his feet, jumped off the wooden stool and sat down next to Captain Song: "Hey, do you think Song Bai is really dating Jiang Nian? Has Song Bai's regiment been with you guys for the past month? Did he tell you?"

Captain Song glanced at Feng Mei and said with a sigh: "Look at you, someone who doesn't know would think you are Song Bai's biological mother. Look how worried he is about you."

Feng Mei: ...

She imitated Captain Song and glared at him fiercely: "I just want to be a sister-in-law to Jiang Nian, what's the problem? Is it not possible?"

Captain Song waved his hands: "Get me a footcloth."

"Go get it yourself barefoot."

Feng Mei went to the kitchen to cook, and she really didn't get anything for him. Captain Song raised his eyebrows: "Hey, you tiger woman, Xiangdong, get Dad a footcloth!"

"Coming."

Song Xiangdong ran out with a footcloth and handed it to Captain Song. Captain Song smiled and said, "Do you miss Dad?"

Song Xiangdong nodded: "Yes!"

"Hey, my dear son, go call Xiang Hong over, Dad will give you two delicious things."

The yard of Captain Song was bustling with activity, which made Jiang Nian's side quiet.

Jiang Nian went to the stove to get some meat and vegetables. She heard the sound of water pumping in the yard. She wanted to go out to explain, but she was afraid that people outside the yard would hear her relationship with Lu Yu. She cut the vegetables and meat absent-mindedly and was about to light the fire in front of the stove when Lu Yu walked in.

"I'll light the fire."

Lu Yu sat in front of the stove and lit the fire quickly. The orange flame flickered on the man's cold and handsome face. His eyebrows were tightly knitted and his thin lips were pursed coldly. He took off his military uniform and wore a white shirt. He unbuttoned two buttons on his collar, revealing his protruding Adam's apple. His green stubble added a bit of wildness to his cold temperament.

"I'm not dating Song Bai."

Jiang Nian explained in a low voice.

She pursed her lips and lowered her head to pour oil into the pot: "That dress was bought for me by Sister Ge."

Lu Yu raised his eyes to look at Jiang Nian, who felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her: "What I said is true. In the month since you left, Song Bai and I haven't seen each other once."

Lu Yu lowered his eyes and added firewood to the stove: "I know that San Tuan has always been with us."

He just didn't expect Jiang Nian to explain to him.

The man squeezed the dry firewood a little harder, and the blue veins on the back of his hand bulged slightly. He and Song Bai were both men, and he could see the little thoughts that Song Bai had hidden about his sister-in-law.

The kitchen was eerily quiet, with only the sizzling sound of the meat being put into the pot.

While Jiang Nian was cooking, she glanced at Lu Yu's expression.

She didn't know whether Lu Yu believed her or not, but she had explained everything she needed to explain.

The dinner was cooked quietly. After it was done, neither of them said a word. Jiang Nian seemed to be angry. She didn't know what she was angry about. She was inexplicably accused of having a relationship with someone else. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Jiang Nian carried the plate to the yard. Lu Yu brought out the remaining dishes with chopsticks in his hand.

The two sat in the yard to eat. Jiang Nian lowered her head to eat. Suddenly, there were a few pieces of meat in the bowl. When she raised her head, she met Lu Yu's gaze: "Eat more meat."

Jiang Nian's eyes suddenly felt hot for some reason.

She lowered her head to hide the moisture in her eyes, with rice stuffed in her mouth, and uttered an indistinct "hmm".

There was a knock on the door next door, and it was Tang Ze who spoke: "Sister-in-law Feng, I'm getting married tomorrow, and your whole family can come over for dinner tomorrow."

Feng Mei smiled and said, "Then sister-in-law will be impolite."

"Sister-in-law."

Lu Yu reached out and rubbed Jiang Nian's head: "Look up at me."

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, her eyes were red, and she didn't want to be seen by Lu Yu, so she shook her head gently: "I'm eating."

"Deputy Regiment Lu--"

Tang Ze came to knock on the door here. Lu Yu glanced at Jiang Nian's face which was almost buried in the bowl, and got up and walked over to open the gate. Tang Ze smiled and said, "I'm getting married tomorrow, you bring your sister-in-law to dinner. I have to notify the other families, so I'll leave first." He

didn't notify many people for his marriage this time, just a few comrades-in-arms with whom he had a good relationship.

Lu Yu nodded: "Okay, we'll go there tomorrow."

After Tang Ze left, Feng Mei came running from next door. Lu Yu paused and looked at Jiang Nian. She was still eating with her head down, listening to Feng Mei talking, and never raised her head. After he finished eating, Feng Mei hadn't left yet, so he stood up and looked at Jiang Nian: "Sister-in-law."

Jiang Nian tightened her fingers holding the chopsticks, and her voice, which used to be crisp and sweet, had a nasal tone: "Hmm?"

Lu Yu restrained the urge to hold her in his arms: "I'll go back to the dormitory first."

Jiang Nian: "Hmm."

"Wait." Feng Mei called Lu Yu, her face full of gossip: "Do you know who Tang Ze is getting married to this time?"

Lu Yu glanced at Jiang Nian: "A nurse from the county hospital."

Feng Mei said: "Yes, it's her. I just found out her name is Sun Ying. Chen Fang has been saying everywhere these days that her sister-in-law's father is the director of the factory. She is so proud of it. I can't understand..."

"Sister-in-law Feng."

Lu Yu stopped Feng Mei from speaking: "I'll go back to the dormitory first, you stay with my sister-in-law."

Feng Mei waved at him: "You go back."

After Lu Yu left, Jiang Nian sniffed and got up to clean up the dishes. Feng Mei was talking excitedly, and when she looked up, she saw Jiang Nian's red eyes. She was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Nian pursed her lips and smiled: "I was just stung by the spicy food."

Feng Mei thought of the dishes Jiang Nian cooked the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, and looked at the same dish on the table, and smiled: "Your dish is really spicy. It made the three of us cry in the kitchen that day."

After Jiang Nian washed the dishes, Feng Mei also went back.

Without Feng Mei's voice, the yard instantly became quiet.

Jiang Nian took off her apron and put it on the cabinet, locked the gate, washed up, and went back to the house to lie down. She no longer had the heart to embroider. There was a flashlight in the dormitory of the regiment

.

Song Bai came out of the bathroom, shirtless, with water droplets dripping from his short hair. He wiped his hair with a towel, opened the door and walked into the dormitory. He saw Lu Yu sitting on the bed reading a book, with his military uniform draped over the back of the stool, and wearing a white shirt and military pants.

"Have you just finished your meal?"

Song Bai put down the basin and sat on the bed. He lowered his head and wiped his head. His hands didn't use any force, but the muscles in his arms bulged slightly. He didn't hear Lu Yu's voice for a long time. Song Bai frowned slightly. He looked up and saw Lu Yu put down the book, stood up and looked at him: "Go out for practice?"

Song Bai was stunned: "It's late at night, aren't you tired?"

Lu Yu unbuttoned his wrists, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms: "You can't do it?"

Song Bai stood up suddenly when he heard it: "Let's go!"

Late at night, two people fought on the field behind the dormitory. Every punch hit the flesh, and every swing of their arms carried a strong force, as if they had found an outlet for each other. You punch me and I punch you, from the beginning with rules to the end with no rules at all.

Zhu Jun lay at the window and kicked the soldier on the bed: "Hey, look at what Deputy Colonel Lu and Deputy Colonel Song are doing?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the dormitory stood up and ran to the window to see the excitement.

"Why are these two guys fighting?"

"It doesn't look like a fight to me, more like a sparring."

"It looks like that to me too."

"Hiss, that punch from Deputy Colonel Lu was quite strong."

"Look at Deputy Colonel Song, how much weight did that kick weigh?"

A row of heads were lying at the windows, everyone was enjoying the show. Someone popped his head out of the window and shouted, "Deputy Colonel Lu, be careful of Deputy Colonel Song's sneak attack!"

"Deputy Colonel Song, Deputy Colonel Lu is going to attack you from below!"

This game lasted for half an hour before it ended. The two men fought heartily and both had some minor injuries on their bodies.

Song Bai sat on the ground with his long legs bent, rubbed his arm that was bruised by Lu Yu, turned his head to look at Lu Yu who was also sitting on the ground with his long legs bent and his elbows on his knees, frowned and asked: "What's wrong with you tonight?"

Lu Yu rubbed the back of his neck and glanced at Song Bai: "I just suddenly wanted to beat you up."

Song Bai: ...

"

Did I provoke you?" "No."

Song Bai kicked Lu Yu's instep with his toes: "Tell me, who provoked you? In all these years, this is the second time I've seen you so out of control."

Lu Yu stood up and patted the dirt on his shirt: "No one provoked me." Jiang Nian turned around until midnight before she gradually fell asleep. She was awakened by the sound of a horn in the morning. She felt half of her arm was numb and she had no feeling. She opened her eyes in a daze and found that half of her body was suspended in the air. Xia Liang was also half on the bed and half on the ground.

Jiang Nian wanted to move into the bed, but suddenly heard footsteps outside. She was startled by the cold. She turned over and remembered that half of her body was suspended in the air, so she fell heavily to the ground. "Hiss--" The sound of landing mixed with Jiang Nian's cry of pain was transmitted outside the house. The footsteps outside almost stopped outside the door instantly: "What's wrong?" It was Lu Yu's voice. Jiang Nian realized that it was Lu Yu who came back. She bit her lip, propped up one arm on the ground and sat up, saying weakly, "It's okay." Lu Yu heard that her voice was not right, and thought of the scene of her hitting the wall last year to commit suicide, and his eyebrows wrinkled, "Open the door, let me take a look." Jiang Nian would not open the door, let alone say that she accidentally rolled off the bed, for fear that Lu Yu would laugh at her. She rubbed her arm that was gradually slowing down, "I'm fine." After saying that, she stood up, picked up Xia Liang's quilt, and turned over to sit on the bed. Lu Yu's voice came from outside again, "Have you put on your clothes?" The man asked this question. Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment: "I've put it on." She turned around and picked up the short-sleeved shirt and pants on the bedside. She heard the window behind her "click" and was so scared that she trembled. She turned her head and saw Lu Yu jumping in with one hand supporting the window. The two people's eyes suddenly met. Jiang Nian blinked stupidly, not understanding how Lu Yu got in? "Why are you--" Lu Yu's dark eyes looked at her body. When he saw Jiang Nian wearing only a small vest and shorts, his eyes suddenly darkened. Her skin was very white. At this time, her arms and legs were exposed, and the whiteness was dazzling. She turned her side to the window, and a slender waist was reflected in Lu Yu's eyes. Lu Yu's Adam's apple moved up and down for a few times, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not injured. He just thought that his sister-in-law was upset because Sister-in-law Chen misunderstood her and Song Bai's relationship last night, and she did something stupid again. "Why... did you come in?" Jiang Nian just came back to her senses, and heard Lu Yu say, "I was worried about you." She was stunned for a moment, and also thought of the incident of hitting the wall and trying to commit suicide last year. Perhaps that incident left a psychological shadow on Lu Yu. She smiled with pursed lips and said awkwardly: "I just fell off the bed." After saying that, she felt a little embarrassed and turned her head away, but saw that the light next to her was gradually covered by the shadow. "I'll go out first." Jiang Nian turned her head and saw Lu Yu jumping out of the window, and he considerately closed the window for her. She was absent-minded for a while, then quickly changed her clothes, put on her shoes and walked out. She heard the sound of cooking from the kitchen, and went to the well to press water to wash her face. After washing up, Lu Yu's meal was ready, and he brought the meal to the dining table. Jiang Nian was sitting on the bench, and only then did she see that there were some bruises on the corners of Lu Yu's mouth. She remembered that there were no bruises last night: "What's wrong with the corners of your mouth?" Lu Yu touched the corners of his lips with the tip of his tongue, avoided Jiang Nian's sight, and lowered his head to eat: "I'm fine." The corners of his mouth were bruised, and he still said he was fine? Lu Yu was tall, much taller than her even when he was sitting, so Jiang Nian didn't stand up, but bent over to look at him, blinking her bright eyes: "Did you have a fight with someone?" Lu Yu: ... He coughed lightly, never looking up at Jiang Nian, nor did he look at her gaze: "No fight, normal training." "Who can give someone a black eye during normal training?" Jiang Nian put down her chopsticks stubbornly this time, glanced at the half-open courtyard door, and didn't dare to approach Lu Yu, so she moved a stool and sat next to him, slightly raised her head to look at Lu Yu, forcing the man to meet her gaze. She frowned: "Who hit you?"

Being able to hurt the hero of the book, it seems that she is also quite physically fit.

Lu Yu coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and rubbed Jiang Nian's head, and stopped only after rubbing her hair into a mess: "Eat, I'll go to the team later, and take you to Captain Tang's house when I come back at noon."

Jiang Nian: ...

She tilted her head back and smoothed her hair.

Speaking of the Tang family, Jiang Nian remembered that today was the day Tang Ze and Sun Ying got married. Thinking

of the dream she had that night, Sun Ying in the book was wearing a red shirt and sitting in the wedding room. Instead of waiting for Lu Yu, she waited for Wu Youshan, and then there was the scene of the two of them in the "bridal chamber", and Jiang Nian felt a little uncomfortable.

Not only was it irritating, but there was also a kind of indescribable depression.

At the beginning of the book, the hero and the heroine fell in love at first sight on the train, and then expressed their feelings to each other. If Sun Ying had waited for the hero that night, wouldn't the two people in the wedding room have become them?

Jiang Nian: ...

She found her own stubbornness and self-troubles a little funny.

Lu Yu glanced at Jiang Nian, who lowered her head in silence, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Nian's mind was full of the plot in the book at this moment, and she said casually, "I'm thinking about your marriage to Sun Ying."

After she said that, she realized something was wrong, and her chewing movements paused. She raised her head with a stiff neck, and saw Lu Yu's dark eyes staring at her. Jiang Nian hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth, and coughed violently because of the snort. Lu Yu stretched out his hand to smooth her back, and a low voice rang in her ear: "Why are you thinking about these?"

"I'm going to drink some water."

Jiang Nian got up and ran back to the house, poured a glass of water and drank it, then walked out of the house slowly. Looking at Lu Yu's eyes, he pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I had just joined the army at that time, and you took me to the hospital. I wanted to bring you and Sun Ying together. If you had agreed at that time, you might be the one marrying Sun Ying now."

After saying that, he lowered his head, feeling guilty and not daring to look at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze paused on Jiang Nian for a few seconds. He stood up and walked towards Jiang Nian. He grabbed her slender wrist with five fingers and dragged her into the house, closing the door. Jiang Nian staggered and was pressed against the door panel by Lu Yu before she could stand firmly. The man lowered his head, and his dark eyes that could not see any emotion were under his cold and handsome eyebrows.

He was very tall, and he was level with her eyes only when he leaned over and arched his back.

Jiang Nian had one hand held in Lu Yu's hand, and the other hand was curled up. She was at a loss. She swallowed and her breathing was a little trembling: "What's wrong with you?"

"Sister-in-law."

He suddenly called her.

Jiang Nian's spine shuddered instantly, and an inexplicable emotion spread from her scalp to her limbs. She pursed her lips and tried to smile but couldn't. She felt that Lu Yu seemed to have discovered the secret hidden in her heart: "What do you want to say?" She

couldn't even speak clearly.
