338: What triggered this?
Xiao Niannian had a day off, and she was in a very good mood at the moment.
"Brother."
Shen Yan heard that someone was looking for Xiao Niannian. He thought something had happened, so he ran over to check, only to see his brother.
As soon as he called his brother, his expression changed when he saw the person next to Xiao Niannian, and he wanted to turn and run.
"Xiao Yan."
"Brother Lu."
Lu Jing's voice immediately made him stop. Shen Yan forced a smile and loudly called out, "Brother Lu."
Xiao Niannian saw Shen Yan's behavior, like a mouse seeing a cat, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
What did Lu Jing do to Shen Yan? Why was Shen Yan so scared?
"Come here."
"Okay."
Shen Yan was full of reluctance, but his body had already run towards Lu Jing.
Lu Jing patted Shen Yan's shoulder and said,
"You've gotten a lot stronger in the past year or so."
"Brother Lu, why are you here?"
He looked at Xiao Niannian again, and seeing her carrying an army-green cloth bag, he winked at her, hoping she would speak up for him.
Xiao Niannian understood Shen Yan's thoughts and said,
"Brother Lu, Shen Yan's martial arts are pretty good."
Hearing Niannian praise Shen Yan, Lu Jing's gaze returned to Xiao Niannian. Lu Jing instantly understood the meaning of Xiao Niannian's words.
"Xiao Yan, did you compete with Niannian?"
Brother Lu calls Sister Xiao Niannian?
Such an intimate address? What was the relationship between Brother Lu and Sister Xiao? He had previously guessed that his brother might like Sister Xiao, which was why he had instructed him, but now Brother Lu was calling Sister Xiao Niannian?
And his brother only called her Comrade Xiao? His gaze went back and forth between Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing.
Lu Jing's gaze met Shen Yan's, and Shen Yan immediately looked away in fright.
"Yes, I lost."
Shen Yan said directly.
He didn't know why Brother Lu was so concerned about Sister Xiao? Could it be that Sister Xiao was the child of some family in the Capital City?
But why hadn't he heard of it?
He had never seen her either. He always thought it was related to his brother, or had some connection to his family, or perhaps she was the Granddaughter of his Grandparents' Comrade-in-arms, or the daughter of his parents' Comrade-in-arms.
No way?
A thought suddenly occurred to Shen Yan, and he looked at Brother Lu and Sister Xiao in shock.
Could it be? Brother Lu and Sister Xiao are a couple?
No, impossible. Who would dare to like a cold-faced King of Hell like Brother Lu?
But Sister Xiao also called him Brother Lu when she saw him. And today, when Sister Xiao spoke to Brother Lu, Brother Lu Jing's tone wasn't as cold as usual.
Could it be true?
My goodness!!! Shen Yan was completely stunned.
He stared blankly at Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian.
"You brat, what are you spacing out for?" Military Doctor Shen was talking to his younger brother, but his brother was looking at Old Lu and Niannian in shock.
Military Doctor Shen was a little puzzled.
"Brother." Shen Yan pulled his brother and retreated ten meters.
"What do you want?"
Military Doctor Shen waved his brother's hand away with a hint of disdain.
"Sister Xiao isn't your girlfriend, she's Brother Lu's girlfriend?"
Military Doctor Shen looked at his younger brother in surprise.
"You're quite clever, kid."
My goodness!!! Shen Yan was truly speechless with shock this time.
He had actually guessed wrong before. Sister Xiao was really Brother Lu's girlfriend!!! Heavens, who would have thought that a cold-faced King of Hell like Brother Lu could actually find a girlfriend, and such a formidable person as Sister Xiao at that.
"You must keep this a secret, understand? Don't tell your family, and don't tell anyone outside..." Military Doctor Shen warned.
"I understand!!!" Shen Yan nodded vigorously.
Unexpectedly, his brother told him to keep this a secret, which meant Brother Lu and Sister Xiao hadn't planned to spread the news yet. Could it be that Brother Lu's family disagreed with this??
Or was it that Brother Lu's enemies hadn't all been eliminated yet, and Brother Lu was afraid Sister Xiao would be in danger?
For a moment, Shen Yan thought of many things.
Shen Yan ran towards Xiao Niannian, his expression changing repeatedly. After a while, Shen Yan called out to Xiao Niannian.
"Sister Xiao."
Xiao Niannian saw Shen Yan first drag Military Doctor Shen away for more than ten meters, then run back after a moment. She watched Shen Yan, whose face changed like a Sichuan opera mask, run up to her and look at her ingratiatingly.
"What is it?"
"Sister Xiao, from now on, you are my true sister. If you say one, I would never say two. If you say east, I would never go west..."
Was he stimulated?
Shen Yan, who was a bit proud before, suddenly acted this way. What kind of stimulus did he receive?
"Are you stimulated?"
"No."
Shen Yan shook his head.
He knew Brother Lu very well. Brother Lu had a cold temper, formidable methods, and was the most capable person in the Compound. Many people had tried to pursue Brother Lu before, but he never even looked at them properly. Now, he was actually dating Sister Xiao!!!
Sister Xiao is truly amazing.
Shen Yan looked at Xiao Niannian with admiration.
From Shen Yan's gaze, Lu Jing already understood what was going on. Although he was strict with Shen Yan, he was also very good to him. Shen Yan was very smart, but young, a bit arrogant and conceited. If he wasn't kept in check, he would be severely beaten by some things... Now that Shen Yan was here studying at the Military Academy, with Niannian around, Old Shen and he could rest assured. He could also learn a lot from Niannian.
Xiao Niannian understood Shen Yan's meaning; in her original world, this would be called 'clinging to a powerful figure'.
Shen Yan was afraid of Lu Jing. Now that he knew she and Lu Jing were Comrades-in-arms, and Lu Jing was very good to her, was Shen Yan clinging to her? So he wouldn't be punished by Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen?
It had to be said, Shen Yan's idea was quite good.
Through her interactions these past few days, Xiao Niannian also understood what kind of person Shen Yan was. Although a bit arrogant, he was brave enough to take responsibility, always acting openly rather than secretly harming others, and wouldn't provoke others just because he disliked them, like Xiao Yu and her group... Nor would he be like Li He, who, despite being jealous, pretended to be friendly, seemingly wanting to be friends but actually having other motives, and even acting like he was greatly wronged in front of outsiders, truly the 'green tea' of 'green teas'.
"I'll drive."
Xiao Niannian said.
"You've been studying hard these past few days, I'll drive."
Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian, a faint smile on his lips.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Niannian pursed her lips and walked towards the passenger seat.
Shen Yan originally wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but his brother dragged him back directly. Military Doctor Shen gave him a warning look.
Shen Yan immediately understood.
That was close, he almost got another mark against him from Brother Lu.
My dear brother, you saved me.
After Xiao Niannian got into the car, Lu Jing started the engine, and the car drove towards the Xiao Family Old Residence.
Grandma Xiao was talking with Tenth Grandma and a few other old sisters from the village.
Some of them were sewing cloth shoes, while others were hand-sewing clothes. The room was very warm. The walls had been repainted a few months ago, and the replaced light bulbs were much brighter than before.
