However, he didn't expect that the social gathering he was forced to attend would make him think about getting married.
He was attracted to Jianshu the first time he saw her. He admitted that he was superficial or just attracted by her beauty.
He just fell in love with Jianshu, and he felt more moved than ever before. He wanted her to be his wife and spend his whole life with her.
Soldiers are decisive and efficient. Once you have an idea, you must put it into practice. Otherwise, meaningless delays will only cause trouble.
Lu Jianan didn't hesitate any longer and went straight to express his feelings. Otherwise, after the social gathering was over, he didn't know if they would ever see each other again.
But he was rejected in the end. Although Jianshu said it tactfully, Lu Jianan was a deputy battalion commander after all. He was not a fool who couldn't understand what people said. Of course, he could understand what Jianshu meant.
Yu Hefeng searched around the auditorium and finally found Lu Jianan in a remote corner.
Seeing Lu Jianan leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette with his eyes looking up at the sky, he walked over and asked, "Why did you come out for some fresh air and never come back? Do you remember today's mission? How are you going to find a partner hiding here? Aren't you afraid that the political commissar will nag you when you return?"
Lu Jianan didn't say anything, nor did he look at him. He continued to smoke silently and look at the stars in the sky.
Looking for a partner? He wanted to date someone, but the other person didn't want to.
Yu Hefeng looked at Lu Jianan carefully. Although he looked no different from usual, after so many years of friendship, he could see that there was something wrong with Lu Jianan's face, as if he was a little lonely.
Lonely? Yu Hefeng narrowed his eyes. What happened? Why did he feel like he was hurt after not seeing her for a while?
Looking at the cigarette butts around, Yu Hefeng felt that something must have happened while he was away, otherwise Lu Jianan, who didn't smoke often, would never have smoked so many cigarettes.
But no matter what happened, you can't joke with your body, not to mention that you were injured some time ago and haven't fully recovered yet.
Seeing Lu Jianan finish smoking one cigarette and prepare to take out another, Yu Hefeng reached out to stop him, saying that smoking so much is not good for the body.
"Stop smoking. What happened just now? Did you like a girl and wanted to date her but got rejected? You smoked so many cigarettes because you were in a bad mood?" Yu Hefeng asked half tentatively and half jokingly.
The cigarette in his hand was taken away, but Lu Jianan had no intention of taking it back. He would not smoke if he was not allowed to.
He continued to look at the sky in silence, not wanting to answer Yu Hefeng's questions.
But as expected of us being brothers for many years, his guess was always right.
"No way, you actually have a girl you like, and you got rejected?" Looking at Lu Jianan's expression, Yu Hefeng knew that he guessed right. He was so surprised that he even put down the cigarette he was about to put in his mouth.
"Yeah." Since everyone had guessed it, Lu Jianan didn't plan to hide it. There was nothing to hide about this matter. Wasn't it just that no one refused?
Yu Hefeng put his right hand on Lu Jianan's shoulder and asked in a friendly manner, "Come on, tell me, what's that girl's name? Which unit does she work for? What's her family situation like?"
Every time the political commissar asked you to find a partner, you were unwilling to do so and would run away on your mission. This time, if you hadn't been recuperating from your injuries, he wouldn't have been able to catch you. After much persuasion, he finally gave the order to let you come.
I didn't expect that today would be an exception. I'd like to know which girl is so amazing. Are you a brother? If you are, tell me. The political commissar asked me to watch you find a partner. I have to report to him whether it works out after I go back."
"His name is Jianshu, and I don't know anything else about him. Don't say too much when you go back. The girl has already rejected him, so don't bother her anymore." As brothers for many years, Lu Jianan knew Yu Hefeng's character very well.
He would not give up until he achieved his goal. If he didn't tell him, he would find ways to get to the bottom of this matter. Lu Jianan didn't want too many people to know about this, so he said it out directly.
Yu Hefeng didn't expect Lu Jianan to be so protective of him. Did he like him so much?
"Jianshu? Nice name. But how come you don't know anything? Don't you guys chat about it?"
"No, I told her about my situation, and she rejected my request to date me and left without saying anything else." Lu Jianan replied indifferently.
Yu Hefeng asked curiously, "You told her about your position and salary, but she still refused?"
He was a little surprised. You know, Lu Jianan is a very popular person. He has reached this position at such a young age. He is also highly valued by the leaders and has a bright future. Many people want to marry him.
"She is young, I am older than her, married and have children, it is normal for her to refuse." This is also what Lu Jianan thought after thinking about it. After all, he is excellent in other aspects, and this should be a big reason for his rejection.
His idea cannot be said to be completely correct, but it is similar to Jianshu's reasoning.
"Small? How small? Not even twenty, right?" Yu Hefeng asked.
Lu Jianan didn't know how to start his speech after being asked this question. What was that tone of his voice? Was he so shocked when he was less than twenty years old?
Seeing that Lu Jianan didn't respond, Yu Hefeng turned his head to glance at Lu Jianan's expression and knew that he had guessed right.
He said jokingly. "Old Lu, you didn't want to date before, but now you're attracted to a girl who's ten years younger than you. You're just being quiet, then nothing, then making a splash. You're just an old cow eating young grass."
Lu Jianan was choked by him and his face looked a little ugly, but he had no way to refute it.
After all, what Yu Hefeng said was true. He and Jian Shu were ten years apart in age, so it was true that he was an old cow eating young grass. No, he didn't eat it at all, he was just thinking about it.
I don’t want to continue this topic, lest Yu Hefeng get even more excited.
"Okay, it's almost time, we can go now and go back early." Lu Jianan passed by Yu Hefeng and walked straight to the door without waiting for him.
"Hey, wait for me." Yu Hefeng hurriedly chased after him. Although the time was not up yet, he did not drag Lu Jianan back.
His task today was to keep an eye on Lu Jianan and help him find a partner. Now that Lu Jianan has found someone he likes, even though he was rejected, he has still accomplished his task.
Even if he is dragged back, it is impossible for him to find another partner because he already has someone he likes.
As for being rejected by the girl, Yu Hefeng had no way to help. He only knew her name, and had no idea of her height, weight, or body shape. How could he help?
It’s better to go back early and talk to the political commissar to see what to do about this matter, whether to fight for it or just let it go.
As for Lu Jianan's request not to tell the political commissar? He didn't agree. Besides, this was the task assigned to him by the political commissar, how could he not tell?
Besides, his good brother finally had the idea of getting married, so he couldn't just pretend he knew nothing, so he had to help.
Lu Jianan wasn't walking very fast, so Yu Hefeng caught up with him in just two quick steps. Yu Hefeng walked up to him, put his arms around his neck, and walked out with his arm around his shoulder.
As they walked, he asked Lu Jianan for more information about Jianshu, such as her height, appearance, and his feelings towards her. There was nothing he didn't ask.
Lu Jianan was a little annoyed, so he pulled down his hand on his shoulder and walked forward quickly.
"Hey, Lao Lu, why are you still angry? I won't ask any more questions, okay? Wait for me."
The two figures, one in front and one behind, gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving only their shadows stretched very long by the moonlight...
