Captain Lu was tall and had long legs. Gu Yan needed to take at least two steps to keep up with him.
Even so, she didn’t complain about it and simply followed behind Lu Ye as she increased her pace.
For a while, the atmosphere had been weird.
The night was fast approaching since days were typically short during winter in the north. In just a short period of time, the sun had set.
Right then, they chanced upon the vice instructors who were supervising the last ten soldiers whose penalty was to run laps. With a loud voice, they acknowledged Lu Ye. “Captain Lu!”
Then, they looked at Gu Yan with confusion.
Lu Ye forced out a cough and straightened out his expression. With sternness, he said, “Comrade Gu Yan performed well during the shooting practice in the afternoon. I will be providing her a one-on-one training. We still need her to keep up the performance and bring honor to the Logistics Department in the final match of the training camp!”
“Gu Yan, you did well!” They were shocked by Gu Yan’s accuracy during the competition. Hence, they turned into her fans.
In their minds, it was pretty reasonable for Captain Lu to privately counsel her.
Gu Yan was outstanding and hardworking. Yet, here they were, complaining just because of a few extra laps.
Subconsciously, their morale was lifted. With such a boost, they became more vigorous as they ran.
After the group of people passed by, Gu Yan couldn’t resist laughing.
The two happened to reach the Wutong Forest where they walked together that day.
Lu Ye stopped and turned around. He saw that the corners of his little wife’s mouth remained raised. He glared at her. “You’re still smiling!”
Based on his recent discovery, his little wife was getting bolder and bolder.
When they first met in the mountain, wasn’t she afraid of him then?
Gu Yan wasn’t scared of him at all. Her eyes narrowed, forming a crescent shape, as the smile on her face disappeared.
“If I shouldn’t smile, then do you want me to cry instead?”
“... Just what happened at the dining hall?” Lu Ye narrowed his eyes. The expression he wore was similar to a husband trying to catch his cheating wife. His tone contained a sense of danger and a hint of sourness.
Gu Yan knew that this person was waiting for her here.
In her previous life, they were never truly together. The two of them never had a proper relationship until death.
They had a pitiful dating experience.
If the matter today wasn’t properly handled, it might leave a crack in their relationship.
That wasn’t what Gu Yan wanted to see.
She wasn’t in a rush to explain what happened in the dining hall. She asked instead, “Tell me, why would you appear with Shen Nana first?”
“Who is Shen Nana?” Lu Ye really didn’t know who that person was.
If Shen Nana heard him now, she might even burst out with tears.
She deliberately took the time to appear in front of him often just so he could remember her. She went to the great length of asking someone to formally introduce Lu Ye to her.
In the end, Captain Lu still didn’t know who she was!
Seeing the genuineness of his reaction, Gu Yan grinned. Her already beautiful face appeared more otherworldly under the glimmer of the moonlight.
Lu Ye’s mind wandered, but he soon recalled he was still upset!
He furrowed his brows. “Comrade Gu Yan, be serious. Respond accordingly. We’re talking about an important matter here!”
“Aren’t we dating though?” Gu Yan’s eyes lit up like a cunning little fox.
Right then, Lu Ye realized he couldn’t even stay angry at all.
His heart softened.
Even more so, when his little wife’s soft white hands grabbed hold of his big hands.
Lu Ye couldn’t care less about Lin Haoran nor the Medical Department.
The present was the most important thing!
