After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

The word "sister" was deafening. Xia Qingning could no longer hold back her tears. She wanted to respond to him, but the car had driven very far away and his small figure had long disappeared.

She leaned her head against the car window and tried to cry quietly. She had no brothers or sisters in this life and had never experienced such strong sibling love.

Reluctance, helplessness, touching, sadness...so many emotions intertwined and surged in her heart that she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Xia Qingcao must have gotten up very early. Knowing that her sister was leaving, she picked some loquats, picked out the big ones and put them on the table. Then she went to the bus station in advance and waited for them quietly.

Maybe at first he just wanted to hide in a corner, secretly take a look at his sister and then go back, but in the end, his deep affection and reluctance to leave his sister, when he saw the car slowly driving away, he could no longer suppress his emotions and ran after the car.

He was so strong and stubborn, but he still called her at the last moment.

Thinking of this, Xia Qingning felt even more distressed. She was immersed in the sadness of parting and her emotions took a long time to calm down. At this moment, an arm stretched out, lifted her head from the hard glass window, and gently placed it on his shoulder.

He didn't say anything, but he silently comforted her with his actions.

Xia Qingning did not reject Lu Jingzhe's kindness. She rested her head on his shoulder and slowly calmed down. His warm body temperature slowly transmitted to her through the thin fabric of his shirt, gradually soothing her heart.

She found that the man next to her was really good! Very good! He could always give her strength without saying a word, making her feel safe and warm.

She leaned on his shoulder as the car swayed forward. After a long time, she finally stopped feeling sad. She was afraid that his shoulders would not be able to bear it if she pressed on them for too long, so she lifted her head from his shoulders.

At this moment, she suddenly felt someone was staring at her, but when she looked over subconsciously, she found nothing.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jingzhe noticed her expression and asked in a deep voice.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Xia Qingning thought she was just having an illusion, so she shook her head at Lu Jingzhe and said softly:

"fine."

Lu Jingzhe didn't ask any more questions and told her that if she felt sleepy, she could take a nap and he would call her when they arrived at the station.

After walking on the mountain road for such a long time and experiencing such a fluctuating mood, Xia Qingning was indeed a little tired. She tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a short while.

Maybe she didn't sleep well last night, so she slept very deeply this time. She didn't wake up until Lu Jingzhe called her and said they were almost there.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found that she had leaned on his shoulder again without knowing when. The most embarrassing thing was that she found a small water stain on Lu Jingzhe's shirt.

Touching the wet corners of her mouth, she immediately realized that it was her own saliva.

"I'm sorry." She said apologetically, raising her hand to wipe it off for him, but then she felt it was inappropriate, so she withdrew her hand and said:

"Go back later, take it off and I'll help you wash it."

"It's okay." Lu Jingzhe uttered two words in a deep voice, as if he didn't care.

The car stopped at about three o'clock. The two got off and walked forward, ready to take the bus home. At this moment, a cautious voice suddenly came from behind:

"You, you are Xiao Ning, right?"

When Xia Qingning heard the voice, she turned around and saw a woman in her twenties looking at her. The woman was a little thin and had dark circles under her eyes, but her facial features were still pretty and delicate.

Since she could call out my name, she must know me, but Xia Qingning felt that she looked unfamiliar, so she asked:

"you are?"

The woman gave a slightly awkward smile and said hesitantly:

"I, I'm Xiaoyu. We've met before. Have you forgotten?"

Xia Qingning searched her mind for a while before realizing that this was her brother's childhood sweetheart.

In fact, just now in the car, Lin Xiaoyu didn't recognize Xia Qingning at first. She had changed so much, like two different people. It was not until she shouted Qingcao's name out the window that Lin Xiaoyu was sure it was her.

Later, she was observing her silently along the way, and the gaze Xia Qingning felt was hers.

After knowing her identity, Xia Qingning's face remained calm, without disgust or anger, and asked:

"Oh, is something wrong?"

Seeing her so calm, Lin Xiaoyu was a little surprised. After hesitating for a while, she asked carefully:

"Is your brother... okay now?"

"Very good." Xia Qingning frowned unconsciously and replied.

"Then he..." Lin Xiaoyu paused, with anticipation in her eyes, and asked:

"Did he ever tell you about me?"

After she said this, Lu Jingzhe, who had been expressionless, unconsciously revealed a look of disgust.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Xia Qingning's eyes, and she answered her in a somewhat cold voice:

"No."

Originally, she had no objection to Lin Xiaoyu leaving her brother and marrying in the city. After all, it was a fact that her brother's leg was broken. She could not stand on the moral high ground and demand that others stay with her forever. That was moral kidnapping.

But since she has already made her choice, it would be a bit disrespectful for her to ask herself these ambiguous questions now.

After hearing what Xia Qingning said, Lin Xiaoyu's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then she said very sadly:

"I know he still hates me, but I can't do anything about it. If his leg wasn't broken, how could I leave him? I should blame God..."

She made her own decision but put the blame on the misty heaven. Xia Qingning really didn't like such irresponsible people. She didn't want to listen to her anymore, so she interrupted her and said angrily:

"It is you who makes the decision, not God!"

After saying that, she calmed down and continued:

"And you're wrong. My brother doesn't hate you. Your relationship ended the moment you decided to break up."

"But... I still have him in my heart." Lin Xiaoyu said with self-pity:

"Alas! We are not meant to be together in this life. It's all God's fault for forcing us apart."

After hearing her words, Xia Qingning's brows furrowed even deeper. Not wanting to continue talking to her, she said in a warning tone:

"Stop saying that you still have him in your heart. You are already married. Please respect yourself, respect your husband, and respect him. Don't let anyone look down on you!"

"After getting married, can't I have him in my heart anymore? He is in my heart. Am I wrong for having such deep feelings for someone?" Lin Xiaoyu retorted aggrievedly, as if she was the victim and the most aggrieved person in the whole incident.

"Late love is more cheap than grass! You are free to think whatever you want, but don't go look for him and don't disturb him." Xia Qingning's tone was obviously filled with anger. After saying this, she didn't want to stay any longer and was about to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Lin Xiaoyu suddenly reached out her hand and held her back. She stopped beating around the bush and finally told Xia Qingning the purpose of her visit:

"Well, Xiao Ning, can you give your brother a message, just say..."

Before she finished speaking, a rude man's voice suddenly came from behind her:

"Lin Xiaoyu, who are you talking to?"

Xia Qingning turned around and saw a short, pointed-faced man walking towards them angrily. His eyes fell on Lu Jingzhe and he looked at Lin Xiaoyu and asked:

"Who is this man?"

Lin Xiaoyu's face changed drastically. She immediately went over, grabbed the man's arm, and explained cautiously:

"The woman came to ask me for directions, and the man is her man."

The man's suspicious eyes lingered on Xia Qingning and Lu Jingzhe's faces for a while, and he said to Lin Xiaoyu in a fierce tone:

"What are you talking about? I've told you so many times not to talk to other men. Are you itching for trouble again?"

"I didn't say anything. I only spoke a few words to that woman."

After talking, the two turned around and left, and the man's scolding and cursing could be heard along the way.

Xia Qingning sighed unconsciously, feeling both pathetic and hateful. She said nothing more and walked forward quickly.

Lu Jingzhe looked at Xia Qingning's back, his eyes became dim. Somehow, the more he interacted with her, the more he felt that she was different from other women.

She was not angry because Lin Xiaoyu left Xia Qingshu. Instead, when Lin Xiaoyu said that she was still thinking about Xia Qingshu, she showed the same contempt as herself.

She was so clear-headed and so wise that he could not help wondering:

If she were injured on the battlefield one day and lost a leg or an arm, what would she choose?

The two got on the bus to go home. Xia Qingning didn't say a word along the way, and Lu Jingzhe was not the type of person who would take the initiative to talk, so the two of them looked at each other in silence, got on the bus, got off the bus, and walked back to the compound.

Over here at the Lu family, He Shanshan had been cursing in the house in frustration for almost a whole day.
