Lu Zhanke put his hand on Ai Changhuan’s shoulder and introduced them with a smile: “Song Shizhang, captain of the second brigade, this is my wife Ai Changhuan. You can call her Ai.”
“Brother Song.” Ai greeted with laughter.
Song laughed and answered, “I’m sorry, my sister-in-law, for forgetting bringing you a gift for the first meeting. I’ll make it up for you next time.”
At that time, the man with his back to them finally turned around. Unlike Lu and Song, he was clean, quiet and gentle. He was the only one of them who wore glasses, with a somewhat feminine appearance and a pair of narrow eyes that occasionally squinted slightly, making it difficult to understand what he was thinking.
But Ai Changhuan’s heart stopped suddenly, and a name blurted out, “Qin Zhan”
This man was clearly Qin Zhan, who had disappeared for several months. She broke away from Lu’s hand and rushed to that guy. She was a little excited and asked, “Are you here to take me away?”
The others present were stunned and wondered what had happened.
That man frowned slightly and the way he looked at Ai was extremely strange.
This strange look stopped Ai Changhuan’s steps, and the words about missing that she was about to say came to a halt in her heart.
Lu Zhanke stepped forward and pulled Ai Changhuan back. He explained unhurriedly, “This is Du Yucheng, commander of the reconnaissance company. You got the wrong person, dear.”
Du had no expression. He glanced around the hand on Ai Changhuan’s shoulder, and soon found a flaw.
Ai Changhuan’s body leaned forward slightly, even somewhat rigid, which was a very obvious avoidance posture. They were not like a couple at all. But Du Yucheng kept the lie going, and just responded indifferently, “Hello.”
How could that be possible? He was clearly Qin. Why did he become Du Yucheng? Ai couldn’t believe it, but it was obviously not a good occasion for questioning, so she could only hold back her doubts.
Song Shizhang said, “Du, you’re so boring. You don’t give a smile even Lu’s wife comes.
Du Yucheng sneered and said, “I’m afraid that more laughter will lead to Lu’s misunderstanding. After all, ha ha…”
Lu Zhanke’s remained the same, but the atmosphere around him turned cold.
Song Shizhang said, “Du, how come you are so nancy, why don’t you forget the past? Now that Lu is married, let’s call it a day between you.”
Ai Changhuan seemed to have got something unusual.
Du’ s eyes narrowed, and a sentence spit out from his thin lips coldly, “From birth to death, never stop.”
How did it sound like a vow? Ai Changhuan couldn’t help being more doubtful. This person looked like Qin and sometimes it didn’t. It was hard for her to tell the truth from the false.
And Lu Zhanke’ s face became angry finally.
Ai Changhuang could feel that he was furious, but he had been tolerant all the time as well.
Ai Changhuan’ s shoulder was painfully pinched by him. She frowned and asked in a low voice,” What’s wrong?”
Afraid that she might find something, Pei Mu immediately said, “It’s all right. Let’s hurry to the table.”
In front of other people, Song Shizhang lowered his voice and asked Pei Mu, ” Why you get them together? You exactly do know that they don’t get along well with each other.”
Pei Mu answered, “I’m trying to make peace for them. After all, how does the friendship for so many years break up without any negotiation margin?”
“But Lu got married.”
Although they thought their voice was very low, Ai and others heard it.
Lu Zhanke and Du Yucheng’ s face grew more somber.
Ai Changhuan had a lot of worries. ‘Is he really not Qin Zhan?’
The meal was quite harmonious, if they ignored Du’ s sharp eyes that were cast over from time to time.
“Come on, have some soup.” Lu Zhanke helped Ai Changhuan with a bowl of soup.
Ai Changhuan felt that it was more like poison instead, because Du shot a glance sharp like blade over to them.
“Be careful! Hot.”
Again.
“Tell me when you want something.”
And again.
Lu Zhanke helped her pin the hair behind her ear and said, “Look at you, just like a baby.”
Once again.
“So lovely.”
Countlessly.
Ai Changhuan was about to hit the table angrily. She gritted her teeth through the action of drinking soup and said to him, “Don’t go too far!”
Didn’t he know it’s easy for Qin Zhan to misunderstand such a move?
She thought that after warning, Lu would somewhat restrain himself. But the next action was more excessive.
Lu Zhanke took a piece of fish and handed it to her mouth and said dotingly, “Honey, have a try, I have picked out the fish-bones.”
“…” Ai Changhuan has no idea that what expression she should use to respond to him.
Seeing Ai Changhuan motionless, Lu Zhanke quietly pinched her waist, and then moved the chopsticks to her lips. “Eat it.”
