340: Lu Jing truly loves her.

"Brother Lu, Sister Xiao." Hearing Shen Yan's voice, Xiao Niannian snapped back to reality. She forcefully pushed Lu Jing away. Lu Jing took a few steps back, saw Xiao Niannian's flushed face, and immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, I was out of line."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian blushed.

She glared at Lu Jing. Her heart was pounding rapidly, and while she had many things she wanted to say, she didn't know what to say right now.

Shen Yan quickly ran over. Seeing Lu Jing looking at Sister Xiao, and Sister Xiao's face being extremely red, Shen Yan asked doubtfully.

"Sister Xiao, do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"

Xiao Niannian saw Shen Yan's curious expression and shook her head.

"I'm fine."

Lu Jing stared coldly at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan felt the killing intent. Seeing Brother Lu's gaze, he immediately became nervous.

"Brother Lu, my brother said he needs to talk to you..."

The first part of his sentence was audible, but the last few words were barely a whisper.

Xiao Niannian quickly walked outside.

"Niannian."

Lu Jing grew anxious. Was she angry? He had indeed been too... What should he do if Niannian stopped talking to him?

Lu Jing put the notebook into his pocket and quickly chased after her.

Xiao Niannian was feeling unsettled. She had suspected this before, but she hadn't quite dared to believe it. She had never dated in her original world, but she had watched many TV shows, movies, novels, and short dramas, so she knew what dating was like.

She hadn't expected that Lu Jing truly liked her.

What should I do?

My heart is in such turmoil!

Xiao Niannian heard Lu Jing calling her, and she walked even faster.

"Don't come closer."

Seeing Lu Jing getting closer and closer, Xiao Niannian grew anxious.

Hearing Niannian's words, Lu Jing stopped walking.

"Alright, I won't come closer."

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing. She wasn't usually a timid person, but this matter truly left her speechless.

Shen Yan looked at Brother Lu and Sister Xiao in surprise. Why did Brother Lu and Sister Xiao seem so strange?

Did they quarrel?

Brother Lu's imposing demeanor just now almost made him stutter in fear.

"Brother, Brother Lu and Sister Xiao seem to have quarreled."

Shen Yan quickly ran back towards his brother, relating his speculation.

Old Lu and Comrade Xiao quarreled? How is that possible? How could Old Lu quarrel with Comrade Xiao?

Could it be that Old Lu did something to make Comrade Xiao angry?

"Quarreling? That can't be right?"

Military Doctor Shen didn't believe Shen Yan's words. Old Lu couldn't even finish trying to coax Comrade Xiao, so how could he possibly quarrel with her.

"You must have seen it wrong."

Hearing his brother's words, Shen Yan said unconvinced.

"Really, Sister Xiao walked very fast just now, her face was red, Brother Lu went to chase her, and Sister Xiao even scolded Brother Lu..."

Military Doctor Shen heard this and thought about the scene.

He suddenly thought of a possibility, and his gaze towards Shen Yan turned somewhat sour.

Could Old Lu and Comrade Xiao have been whispering secrets, or perhaps dating? And Xiao Yan ruined it?

It's over. He can't keep this younger brother; Old Lu will definitely teach Xiao Yan a harsh lesson.

"Quickly run, you're done for..."

What nonsense was his brother talking about? Telling him to run? Run from what? He hadn't done anything wrong.

Shen Yan was completely confused, not knowing what his brother was rambling about.

Although Brother Lu was scary, he wouldn't randomly lose his temper and punish him. His brother was just speaking ill of Brother Lu. Although Brother Lu sometimes threatened to punish him, he also brought him lots of delicious food and never tattled on him to his Grandparents, unlike his own brother, who reported everything he did to his Grandparents and parents, often resulting in him getting mixed male and female beatings, or full family beatings... Seeing that this kid still didn't know what had happened, Military Doctor Shen shook his head speechlessly. When this kid was smart, he was truly smart, but when he was stupid, he was truly stupid.

He might get punished by Old Lu, sold off, and still be stupid enough to help Old Lu collect the money.

Xiao Niannian felt her face burning hot. The scene just now echoed in her mind like a movie. She had actually kissed Lu Jing—no, it was called smooching.

This truly exceeded her expectations. She had previously suspected Lu Jing liked her, but she hadn't figured out her own feelings towards Lu Jing, thinking she would just leave things as they were for now. Who knew that something like this would happen today?

Xiao Niannian wanted to return to her room, but Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen were blocking her way not far away. Where should she go?

Xiao Niannian looked up and decided to climb from the first floor to the second. Lu Jing's eyes had been fixed on Niannian. Seeing her suddenly disappear, Lu Jing grew worried and quickly walked over, only to see Niannian climb directly from the first floor to the second in a few swift movements.

Although Lu Jing was worried, seeing this scene made him smile.

Military Doctor Shen followed him over but didn't see Xiao Niannian. He looked at Lu Jing and asked.

"Did you quarrel with Comrade Xiao?"

"No."

Lu Jing answered immediately.

Hearing this, Military Doctor Shen asked again.

"Did you make her angry?"

"Yes."

Hearing Lu Jing admit it so directly, Military Doctor Shen was stunned for a moment, then asked again.

"How did you make her angry?"

Old Lu doesn't seem like the type to make Comrade Xiao angry, either? What exactly happened?

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Shen, Xiao Yan, Grandma has tidied up the rooms for you. Come take a look."

Grandma Xiao called out to them.

Lu Jing looked up, didn't see Niannian, retracted his gaze, and walked toward Grandma Xiao.

"Xiao Shen, you brothers will sleep here, and Xiao Lu will sleep in the room upstairs..."

Grandma Xiao said cheerfully.

Hearing Grandma Xiao's words, Lu Jing rejoiced inwardly. This way, he could go up and coax Niannian later. He just didn't know if she would forgive him.

"Thank you, Grandma Xiao, for your effort."

"Grandma Xiao, we can make the beds ourselves. Please go rest."

"Xiao Lu, come upstairs with me."

Grandma Xiao cheerfully beckoned Lu Jing.

Hearing Grandma Xiao's words, Lu Jing immediately followed Grandma Xiao upstairs.

Xiao Niannian heard the footsteps and knew that Grandma was bringing Lu Jing up. She kicked the door shut.

Lu Jing also heard the sound of the door closing, and he immediately felt anxious. He couldn't very well coax Niannian in front of Grandma Xiao, or else if Grandma Xiao found out he had just kissed Niannian, she might hit him with a big broom and kick him out.

"Niannian, why did you close the door? Grandma needs to get the quilt."

Grandma Xiao called out to Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian opened the door, looked at Grandma Xiao, and ignored Lu Jing.

"Niannian, Xiao Shen and Xiao Yan are sleeping downstairs. Grandma arranged for Xiao Lu to sleep next door to your room."

Xiao Niannian heard Grandma's words but didn't reply.

Grandma Xiao took a quilt out of the cabinet.

"This is a quilt Grandma specially had made a few days ago, using new cotton..."

"Thank you, Grandma."

Lu Jing immediately thanked her, but his gaze was fixed on Niannian.
