The more annoyed and irritated Zhang Lan was, the… tighter Gu Yan slept.
Now, Gu Yan was completely relaxed physically and mentally. She no longer had the stain of being the abused wife of Ironsmith w.a.n.g like in her previous life, and she stopped Gu Moli from taking her place in the army. She was finally reborn again.
However, someone did not want Gu Yan to sleep so tight.
Gu Yan felt something poking her face. One time, two times, and another time.
Mosquitos? Why would the north have mosquitos in the fall?
Gu Yan kept her eyes closed and waved her hand, but that "mosquito" was so annoying and hard to get rid of. It started bugging her again shortly after.
Gu Yan jerked her eyes open, and her eyes were a little furious from being woken up.
Under the dim lighting in the bus, she saw a magnified version of a familiar, handsome face.
They were very close to each other. More specifically, Lu Ye was getting too close. Gu Yan"s body was leaning against the window.
Gu Yan was shocked for a second. Why is Lu Ye here?
She asked subconsciously, "Why are you here? And, aren"t you too close to me?"
"I want to see if you are the little angel or not," Lu Ye said seriously, but there was a hint of naughtiness in his tone. Plus, they were so close that his hot breath blew on Gu Yan"s face. "On a closer look, it really is you. Are you going to the city?"
"I"m going to enlist in the military." For some reason, Gu Yan felt her cheeks burning, but she was more concerned with Lu Ye"s health. "You can"t keep running around because of your wounds. You have to rest for a while."
"Which army?"
"The 26th Division." Gu Yan felt her face getting hotter, and she didn"t know whether it was because Lu Ye was too close to her or because his breath was too hot. She paused for a second and added, "What about you?"
"I"m going to the People"s Hospital."
Actually, Lu Ye had other things to do in the city. This mission had been completed; it was threatening but not dangerous. He needed to report to his superior, since this was a rather complicated joint mission between the south and the north. But he was not going to say anything, and he believed that the little angel was smart and probably wouldn"t want to know.
Sure enough, Gu Yan had already guessed that the details were top-secret military intelligence.
She pressed her lips together and didn"t say anything else.
The corners of Lu Ye"s mouth turned up once he realized how smart Gu Yan was. There was even an unknown pride in his mind as he thought, Look, my little angel is so smart!
It was already past midnight. Everyone on the bus was asleep. If one listened closely, one could even hear the snoring sounds.
Lu Ye sat upright and casually put both hands behind his neck. He tilted his head and looked at the little girl sitting beside him, and he asked out of the blue, "Why did you run off in a hurry after saving me that day?"
Other people would not run off after they saved a soldier.
Lu Ye believed that he was not unattractive or scary, but handsome and charming instead.
How come this girl left so impatiently?
Gu Yan lowered her eyes a little bit. She didn"t look at him, but she could feel Lu Ye looking at her.
She thought, If I hadn"t run, what would I do if I had stayed?
There was no way in h.e.l.l would I bring you home; what would I do in case Gu Moli tangles onto you like in my previous life!
Lu Ye was handsome and charming with a touch of ruggedness; he was very manly. Also, he came from an affluent family. Gu Moli first liked Lu Ye"s appearance. After she learned about Lu Ye"s ident.i.ty and family background, she chased him even more.
Although she didn"t know whether or not Gu Moli would meet Lu Ye again in the future, Gu Yan still thought that certain things were best if they never started at all.
After all… she would never let go of this man in this life.
But Gu Yan thought that she was super tanned and super skinny right now; what if Lu Ye didn"t fall for her like he did in her previous life?
Suddenly, Gu Yan was a little insecure after being reborn.
She was a little gloomy at the thought of that. Gu Yan"s brain short circuited and she said without thinking, "I was afraid that you"ll pledge to marry me!"
Lu Ye was at a loss for words.
This type of joke was nothing if said 20 years later.
But at this time, it was way too bold, especially since it came from a female comrade!
Lu Ye thought that he was a man who feared nothing and had a super thick skin, but when he heard that sentence and saw this female comrade"s pretty eyes, he suddenly felt his heart skipping a few beats.
Lu Ye never had a relations.h.i.+p before, and he never had the experience of being flirted with by a female comrade!
Yes, Colonel Lu just realized that he got teased by a little girl!!!
He was beyond shocked, and he didn"t come back to his senses for a long time.
Gu Yan smiled when she saw Lu Ye getting beaten, and her mood suddenly lifted.
Again, I"m not scared that you didn"t fall for me at first sight; I will make you fall for me over time!
