If Wu Laohu dares to lay a hand on Yueyue, he wouldn't mind sending him to jail ahead of time.
“It has nothing to do with my godfather,” Lu Feng explained. “I just came here to take care of some business. It was just a coincidence that I ran into you, young lady. Who knew you would be so cautious and perceptive… It was my fault. Please do me the honor of inviting you to dinner as an apology.”
"No need," Chu Xun refused coldly. "We're not the kind of people who can eat at the same table."
After a long while, Lu Feng straightened up, watched the two figures disappear into the distance, and curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
Chu Xun took Li Xiyue directly to their residence in the commune. Chen Yu was about to leave when his eyes lit up. "Commander Chu, you're back?"
"I'll settle the score with you later." Chu Xun glared at him and pulled Li Xiyue into his room.
Chen Yu looked completely innocent. What had he done wrong?
Go inside and close the door.
Chu Xun pulled Li Xiyue into his arms. "Yueyue, I'm sorry I'm late."
"It's not too late, it's just right." Li Xiyue nestled in his arms and smiled, "Every time I'm in danger, you always show up."
Chu Xun inhaled her unique fragrance, and the longing he had been suppressing welled up inside him. "I miss you so much."
During the months he was away on missions, not a single day passed without him thinking of her. He was fine during the day when he was busy, but at night his longing would grow wildly, tightly enveloping his heart. In his entire life, no other woman could make him feel so deeply attached.
"Me too." Li Xiyue felt his strong heartbeat, and her heart warmed up as well.
"By the way, Xun, didn't you say you'd be back after May Day? Why are you so late?"
Chu Xun released her, pulled her to sit down facing him, held her hand, and explained, "After completing the mission, I originally planned to come back, but I received news at the last minute that I had to lead a group to the front line to provide support."
"Are you alright?" Li Xiyue asked.
Chu Xun paused for a moment, then shook his head. "No."
He must be injured, but he didn't want her to worry. "You're lying."
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious, it's already healed." Chu Xun smiled wryly. He knew he couldn't hide anything from her. Not wanting to continue the conversation, he quickly changed the subject, "Do you know who I met on the front lines?"
Li Xiyue blinked her big, dark, bright eyes. Her curled eyelashes were like small fans, her fair skin was as white as snow, and her lips were red and her teeth were white. She was incredibly beautiful.
Chu Xun couldn't help but kiss her before saying, "That militiaman from your brigade, Xu Xiangyang."
"Xu Xiangyang?" Li Xiyue asked in surprise. "Isn't he a new recruit this year? How come he's going to the front lines?"
Chu Xun nodded. "He's a new recruit, but the most outstanding one. After three months of special training for new recruits, he was selected to join the elite battalion, and this time he went to the front line with the elite battalion."
Li Xiyue smiled and said, "Pretty impressive."
"I was also the top performer in all the assessments among the new recruits," Chu Xun said with a hint of sarcasm.
Li Xiyue chuckled, "Of course he can't compare to my Ah Xun."
Chu Xun then curled the corners of his mouth and continued, "He is indeed brave, no less than I was in my youth, and he has made many contributions this time."
Li Xiyue knew this. Xu Xiangyang had a ruthless streak, and he usually went for the kill. If no one stopped him, the other party would definitely be dead.
Chu Xun hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.
Li Xiyue asked, "What's wrong?"
"During the final clearing operation, he was ambushed by the enemy and suffered severe injuries."
"That……"
"Don't worry, he's been saved." Chu Xun squeezed her hand. "It was He Yuanzhou's sister who saved him."
Li Xiyue was surprised, "He Yongmei?"
Chu Xun nodded.
Li Xiyue understood; the impressive new recruit friend He Yongmei mentioned in her letter was Xu Xiangyang.
