Lu looked at her and said seriously, “Darling, your skin looks so perfect. Were you born with it?”
Then, he touched her face.
Ai closed her eyes, saying indifferently, "If you do it again, I will force you to leave."
Lu sighed in silence, and he could only pull his hand back and turn off the storage battery. "GOOD. Good evening. We have to get up early tomorrow morning.”
So, Ai fell asleep, relieved.
She hugged him after he fell asleep. He said to himself, “How stupid. I really don't know when you'll find out how you feel.”
The next morning, Ai found herself lying in her arms. He became so angry that he pulled his ear. "Lu Zhanke's. Can you stop using me? ”
He wasn't pulling that hard, but Lu was still acting as if he was injured. He tried to justify his actions. “I didn't do anything. You're the one who rolled into my arms.”
"Do you think I'm an idiot? How can I roll into your arms?” Ai blushed. He believed that Lu would definitely want to take advantage of her.
"Look, you almost pushed me out of bed." You try to justify yourself.
Ai see. He took most of the bed, and there was only a small corner left for him. He could not help loosening his hands, and his face flushed red.
He snorted and got out of bed, sulking.
Sitting on the bed, Lu looked at his back. He touched the corner of his mouth and found himself smiling involuntarily.
Ai kept peeking at Lu at breakfast. She was wearing the suit that the woman had given her, and she looked extremely outstanding and beautiful. He could not help but look at her.
Lu raised his eyebrows in satisfaction. "Do I look handsome?"
Ai looks up. “It can only prove my taste.”
"Tasting husband?"
"No. Flavour in fashion. ”
“...” Lu is in a good mood, so he is not angry. She just looked at him and smiled until Ai blushed and glared at him.
After breakfast, they leave by car. Du Yucheng had already left yesterday afternoon because he was going to pick up his friend, but they agreed to meet in Dadaokou.
Song Shizhang gritted her teeth in sadness. Being a bachelor is sad. Now he had to help the married men keep an eye on the soldiers. How could he accept such a cruel reality?
Pei Xiaopang laughed and cheered happily. “Uncle Song, I'm leaving. Don't miss me too much.”
Song Shizhang caught his collar. "Then what about staying here with me?"
Pei Xiaopang was so frightened that he slipped into the car and clasped the chair tightly. "No. You stay here alone.”
"Bad brat. Did you forget how I treated you?”
Pei Mu was a person who had always been kind to him. Before he left, Pei Mu asked Song Shizhang what he wanted and promised to bring it to him.
Song held a handkerchief in his mouth. He asked sadly, "Can you bring a wife back for me?"
Pei Mu closed the door and refused with a smile. “Sorry, I can't. I am not a human trader.”
Lu laughed. He patted Song on the shoulder and said, “Don't worry. You've been over thirty. Sooner or later.”.
"So soon or later I'm getting married?"
"No. Sooner or later you will get used to being alone.” Then, Lu stepped on the gas and left in a hurry.
Song thought Lu was the most cunning and evil among them.
Ai also found it funny. He elbowed. “Why are you teasing her like that? You really are the bad guy.”
Lu said cheerfully, “Bad people? I don't think so.”
“...” If he can ask this question, then he definitely has thicker skin than others. Ai glanced at him. "The bad guy with the bad brain."
Now it was Lu's turn to be silent.
Yang Anxin and Pei Mu exchanged subtle smiles in the back seat. It's clear that they've made up for each other.
Everyone was very happy with this trip. They joked and chatted cheerfully. Because of Pei Xiaopang's jokes, they were all amused and could not stop laughing.
But it only lasted until they arrived at Dadaokou because there were two people waiting there. They were Du Yucheng and Ouyang Zhenzhen.
Du Yucheng got into the car and glanced at Ai Changhuan before reaching out his hand to help Ouyang Zhenzhen, looking quite gentle and considerate.
Ouyang Zhenzhen looked excited. He said he had not been traveling for a long time. Thanks to Du Yucheng, he was finally able to travel.
Some of them responded with insincere smiles.
After they chatted for a while, the car went quiet. Everyone feels there is nothing to talk about. The atmosphere became awkward.
Ai always felt uncomfortable in such embarrassing situations. If he only talked to Yang Anxin, it would make Ouyang Zhenzhen feel abandoned. But if he talks to Ouyang Zhenzhen ... He would rather not say anything.
He coughed to hide his thoughts and turned on the radio. "Let's play some music here."
Then, he randomly switched to military channels. This piqued the interest of the three men. They threw away their own opinions while listening to the host. All they talk about are political issues like the current war, government reactions, US and Russian methods, and future situations. The more they talked, the more excited they were, but Ai got sleepy, and then she fell asleep without even realizing it.
He was awakened by a song that resonated. Squinting her eyes, Ai tried to figure out what it was, and then she discovered that the one singing enthusiastically was Lu Zhanke.
He looked serious while singing the marching song, but he also looked optimistic and excited. Looking at her sharp side profile, Ai felt as if she was 20 years old, bathed in the summer morning sun. Younger. Handsomest. Dynamically. Self-confident. Not restricted. Persistent. Ambitious. Robust.
He tried to imagine. If she had met Lu when she was 20, would she have fallen in love with him at first sight?
The song ended, and Lu stopped singing. He smiled because of happiness.
She's very pretty. When she did not smile, she had a cold and dominant atmosphere. But when he smiles, he can even capture your soul. At that moment, Ai looked bewitched. Without hesitation, he leaned forward and kissed the corner of his mouth.
Lu's surprised. After she realizes that Ai kissed her, she almost deflects the car from the road. Fortunately, he quickly got back on track.
Yang Anxin shouted in the back seat, "Don't show affection while driving!"
Pei Mu laughed out loud. “I thought I would never see Lu lose control this whole life. This trip must be worth it.”
Pei Xiaopang covered his eyes with his hands, muttering, “Ah! Uncle Lu and Changhuan were kissing. I'm still a kid. I shouldn't have seen it.”
“...” If you don't see it, then why are you saying it so loudly?
Just now, Ai was half asleep. Pei Xiaopang actually brought him back to his senses, and his cheeks immediately became extremely red. "O LORD. What did I just do? I kissed Lu Zhanke?”
"That's impossible. I must be dreaming. Right!"
Even though he thought of this, his face was still burning as if someone had poured gas on it.
You're not okay either. He had always thought of himself as the thickest-skinned person in the world, but now his handsome face was also burning coyly as he grinned happily.
Pei Mu teased her when he saw her. "See. What's wrong with your mouth? You almost showed all your teeth. ”
“...” Ai really wants to die. "Please stop" he thought. "It's all an illusion!"
As the saying goes, "Pairs always follow each other." Yang Anxin did not stay silent. "You two are so passionate, kissing in front of all of us."
Pei Xiaopang said, "I didn't see anything!"
Ai Changhuan played with her finger and muttered to herself, “I'm not awake yet. I'm not awake. I'm not awake.”
But the expressions of Yu Yucheng and Ouyang Zhenzhen were very bad.
You feel that he is the one in the dream. Otherwise, why would Ai kiss him in front of them?
He turned his head to look, and Ai peeked at him at the same time. They turned their heads quickly when their eyes met, and then their faces became hotter.
That's so embarrassing...
Ai and Lu spent the trip amidst the other mockery.
They arrived at their destination at 11 a.m. There are more tourists coming every year because of its reputation, so tourism is gradually growing.
They arrived so late that all the rooms were booked. Finally, they checked in to the house. It was not as good as a hotel room, but they were completely free, and they could cook for themselves.
The owner prepares the first meal. It was luxurious, and it was a local specialty. They did not rest before leaving for the exhibition after eating.
They thought the small town in the barracks was remote, but the neighborhood here was more closed and more primitive. All houses have Achang ethnic characteristics, and appear to be free from the influence of any city. The air is fresh and clean. The stalls were not set up in large supermarkets but on the streets, and there were local handicrafts placed in stalls. I love these trinkets. If he could bring everything, he would probably buy everything.
In the end, they went to a clothing store. Achang ethnic costumes could be rented there, and this attracted Yang and Ai's interest, so they rushed to the store to see them. Even Ouyang Zhenzhen could not help but praise the costume and take many pictures.
