131: Only his apples were washed.
Lu Jing put the things in the car and drove the small car, taking Xiao Niannian back to the Military Region Guesthouse.
When Xiao Cui saw Captain Lu and Xiao Niannian return, he was about to walk over, but Military Doctor Shen stopped him.
"What are you going up there for? Come back."
Military Doctor Shen watched Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian talking and started laughing.
Old Lu, oh Old Lu, even your iron tree is about to bloom. You denied it in front of me before, but now, hmph hmph hmph.
Military Doctor Shen burst out laughing internally.
Then, thinking of himself, his smile disappeared again.
Old Lu already has a girl he's interested in, but he's still a lonely bachelor. This time, he absolutely cannot let his family know he returned to the Capital City, or else they'll drag him off to blind dates again.
Xiao Cui looked at Military Doctor Shen with confusion.
He is Captain Lu's orderly, and usually helps Captain Lu with many things. It seems Captain Lu and the others bought quite a lot of stuff. He should go help move it, so why did Military Doctor Shen stop him?
"You blockhead, don't go ruin it."
Huh?
Xiao Cui still looked at Military Doctor Shen with a puzzled expression.
Military Doctor Shen looked at Xiao Cui's confused appearance, reached out and patted Xiao Cui on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly.
"Do you normally see your Captain Lu smiling brightly and speaking gently to any Female Comrade?"
Xiao Cui's brain started spinning wildly.
Captain Lu, smiling brightly and speaking gently to a Female Comrade?
It seems not.
Captain Lu usually wears a cold face, but his attitude towards grandmothers and Aunties is kind.
Captain Lu? Comrade Xiao Niannian?
No way?
Xiao Cui widened his eyes.
"It's exactly what you're thinking, kid."
"That can't be."
Captain Lu and Comrade Xiao Niannian have only known each other for half a year, and they usually don't interact much.
"You're too young, kid, you don't understand yet. Keep this a secret, understand?"
Military Doctor Shen made a sealing motion over his mouth.
Although Xiao Cui didn't quite understand, he nodded vigorously.
Although Military Doctor Shen sometimes spoke unreliably, he was much more senior than them. Maybe Military Doctor Shen was right.
Xiao Cui couldn't help but glance again at Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian not far away; he also thought the two of them were a perfect match.
When Xiao Niannian returned, carrying a small bag of things, she saw Military Doctor Shen and Xiao Cui, who had returned to their normal demeanor, staring at her with very strange looks.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Military Doctor Shen chuckled naughtily.
"Did you go shopping? What did you buy?"
"Candy, pastries, and apples."
Xiao Niannian took two apples and handed them over.
"Please have some."
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao."
Military Doctor Shen took them and thanked her with a smile.
Seeing that Military Doctor Shen accepted them, Xiao Cui also smiled and thanked her.
"Thank you."
Military Doctor Shen looked at the apples. Today, Lu Jing had asked him for many coupons. He deserved to eat these apples.
These brothers of theirs usually shared coupons when they had them. He had also taken many coupons from Lu Jing before.
They often went on missions, and after completing them, they would receive subsidies, so they never lacked coupons or anything else.
He knew that Lu Jing had given those coupons to Xiao Niannian.
Usually, Lu Jing was incredibly aloof, and now, when pursuing a Female Comrade, he was just as reserved. If he continued like this, when would he ever win over Comrade Xiao Niannian?
He was truly incredibly dense.
He ought to impart some techniques to Lu Jing.
Seeing Lu Jing walk over, he immediately went up to him.
"Old Lu."
Lu Jing looked at Military Doctor Shen.
"Did you just go to the Department Store?"
Lu Jing hummed in affirmation.
"You asked me for so many coupons yesterday just so you could take the girl to the Department Store today?"
Lu Jing stared coldly at Military Doctor Shen.
Seeing Lu Jing's cold expression, Military Doctor Shen snorted.
"Alright, I won't talk about you anymore."
Military Doctor Shen couldn't help but say again.
"Comrade Xiao is a good girl, beautiful and capable, and she matches you well. If you like her, you need to act fast. Don't drag your feet like this, or if someone else snatches her away, you'll regret it too late..."
"Shut your mouth."
Xiao Niannian had already walked quite far away at this point, so she didn't hear what Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen were saying.
When she bought apples, she specifically bought a few extra.
She gave one to everyone she was close to.
Xiao Niannian washed two, ate one herself, and when she saw Lu Jing approach, she handed one to him.
"Thank you."
Lu Jing had seen several people with apples along the way and knew that Xiao Niannian had given them out. Seeing the apple handed to him by Xiao Niannian now, his mood was exceptionally good.
Their apples weren't washed, only his apple was washed.
Xiao Niannian saw that Lu Jing, who had been cold-faced just now, actually had a hint of a smile on his face.
She looked at him confusedly. Could it be that he liked eating apples?
Lu Jing saw Xiao Niannian looking at him, felt his heartbeat quicken slightly, and spoke.
"Go wash up and change your clothes. I'll drive you over later."
Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian looked down at herself.
Hmm, she really did need to wash up.
"Okay."
Xiao Niannian's room had a bathroom where she could shower. After entering the room, she bolted the door, then entered her dimension to take a quick shower.
After washing her clothes, she took them out and hung them in the room.
Xiao Niannian, having washed up, walked in front of the mirror.
Every time she finished showering, she felt several degrees prettier than usual.
Xiao Niannian planned to go to the Department Store the day after tomorrow and buy a few more pairs of liquor. She wouldn't drink them herself; storing them to be used as family heirlooms later wouldn't be bad.
She also wanted to buy some gold. The price of gold wasn't high right now, so stocking up on some gold and jewelry would be good.
As for houses, it seemed that house transactions were not yet permitted at this time.
But she could inquire. If transactions were possible, she would buy a small one in the Capital.
She could also buy one in a year or two, as she might be targeted by quite a few people right now.
Xiao Niannian walked out and saw that Lu Jing had also showered and changed his clothes. Admiration filled Xiao Niannian's eyes. Lu Jing usually had a cold face, but he was indeed very handsome.
After showering, he looked a little better than usual.
Most comrades-in-arms in the Military Unit had abs, and Lu Jing certainly must have them too.
Lu Jing noticed Xiao Niannian's gaze landing on him. He slightly raised his head and looked at Xiao Niannian out of the corner of his eye, seeing her gaze land on his chest.
Why was she looking at his chest?
Lu Jing was a little puzzled.
Then he saw Xiao Niannian withdraw her gaze.
"It's almost time."
"Okay."
Xiao Niannian followed Lu Jing toward the car.
Xiao Niannian noticed that the car, which had been covered in mud that morning, was now washed very clean.
After getting into the car, Xiao Niannian looked outside.
The Capital City truly was different.
Xiao Niannian kept looking outside. In a few more years, the surrounding houses would all be built into skyscrapers, and in another ten or twenty years, there would be even more skyscrapers.
