Chapter 23: Meeting Lu Ye Again   Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Chen Yuan frowned and wanted to say something, but Xu Wangshan, who sat beside him, tugged on his clothes.

If this Zhang Cuihua was really not the right fit to be a soldier, then she would be dealt with by someone eventually.

All they were responsible for was to pick up these six female comrades. They didn’t have to care about anything else.

Gu Yan watched as a cold bystander for the entire time.

Xu Wangshan was slightly older. He had experienced more and was more seasoned.

Gu Yan learned about his character through her observations. He was the type of person who believed that the less trouble, the better.

In contrast, Chen Yuan’s temperament was more similar to that of Gu Yan.

Naturally, Zhang Cuihua would not just leave like this. She frowned and looked around to see where Gu Moli was at, and she could not fathom what was going on.

Gu Yan would not take the initiative to talk to this Zhang Cuihua. Once she got her bus ticket, she went straight to the last row.

Six to seven hours. There were no forms of entertainment during this time, and they couldn’t even read books. The lighting inside the bus was way too dim, and most of the lights would be turned off later.

All she could do was close her eyes and take a catnap.

The bus that already started suddenly had to stop. The door opened, and three men boarded the bus.

The first two were wearing military uniforms and looked bright and positive.

The last one was a little slow. He wore dark blue trousers and a jacket. His handsome appearance made all the female comrades cover their mouths immediately.

At this day and age, people were still very shy.

Even when they saw how this man’s handsomeness could make man and God jealous, they were so reserved that they would not express it. They would just secretly peek at him.

Lu Ye got on the bus and walked to the back.

Xu Wangshan knew Lu Ye. He was a little surprised and pushed up his glasses. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Ye smiled at him and shook his head.

Xu Wangshan was about to call him Colonel Lu, but he held it back after seeing that. Chen Yuan, who sat beside him, was already sleeping and didn’t see what happened.

The seats on the bus were not filled, and the seats that were taken were scattered.

Lu Ye didn’t like sitting in the front, so he walked straight to the last row.

When he saw what the girl sitting in the last row looked like, his eyes twinkled!

Little angel!

Lu Ye didn’t even think too much and sat beside Gu Yan on the last row.

The two soldiers that accompanied Lu Ye looked at each other. They did not dare to sit too far apart from Lu Ye. After all, he had wounds all over his body, and he had to get treated in a big hospital in the city.

Would they go straight to Lu Ye and sit beside him? They did not dare. Colonel Lu’s temper was not the best; he even shoved a nurse away yesterday.

That was a cute little nurse!

But because that little nurse knew about Colonel Lu’s background and had some ideas that she shouldn’t have, Lu Ye treated her like that.

Eventually, these two soldiers sat in the seats on the third-from-the-bottom row.

The bus finally started. As the night got darker and darker, the bus drove closer and closer to the provincial capital.

At the same time, the Gu Family in Wang Village was raising hell.

Gu Moli ran after the minivan. She ran for one kilometer and still couldn’t catch it.

By the time she got home, she was like a drowned rat. When she saw Zhang Lan, she immediately started bawling, “Mom, Gu Yan took away my clothes and my three hundred yuan! I can’t get them back!”

Gu Dagang was home for a while now. There was another handprint on his face. Zhang Lan had just slapped him.

Zhang Lan had nowhere to vent her belly full of rage, so she hit Gu Dagang.

Gu Dagang was squatting at the corner of the room and smoking his cigarette. He had been hard at work for an entire day and hadn’t even had dinner yet, but he got yelled at and slapped by Zhang Lan.

However, his heart was filled with content because Little Yan joined the army and finally... got away from this family.

For all those years, Gu Dagang saw how Zhang Lan bullied Gu Yan. Although he was frustrated, he didn’t know how or what he could do to help.

For all those years, he rolled with all of Zhang Lan’s punches. He always felt that Zhang Lan sold herself short by marrying him, so he never opposed any of Zhang Lan’s decisions.

Thus, Little Yan joining the army and leaving this place is a good thing. It is a good thing.

Zhang Lan was extremely annoyed and irritated. When she heard Gu Moli’s cries, she became even more annoyed and irritated.

She could still not tell her eldest biological daughter about this, but what annoyed her the most was what she was going to do when Ironsmith Wang comes here a few days later for his bride!
