Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

No matter how much Lu Yanting cried and wailed, it was all in vain.

Grandpa Lu was determined to keep him in the army.

He said, "If you won't stay, I will. I won't come back until Lu Yanzheng divorces me. Can you bear to watch your old grandfather die far from home?"

Lu Yanting was heartless.

He was so heartless in this family that he wanted to cut ties with everyone. Unfortunately, his brother wouldn't allow it.

Compared to the old man leaving, Lu Yanting is relatively better.

At least he's young and strong, doesn't need to be waited on, and can take a beating.

"Yanting, you can stay and sleep in the living room. I've tried them; those benches are fine, not hard at all!"

Lu Yanzheng really dares to speak his mind. I wonder who slept on a bench every day for those days, their back is almost ruined.

"Yes, yes, I'll put a mat and a mattress on your bed later. You'll definitely sleep comfortably, no worse than a regular bed."

As He Yingying spoke, she quickly set up the benches and soon erected a makeshift bed.

Lu Yanting wanted to cry but had no tears.

He did nothing wrong, so why is he always the one who gets hurt?

He looked at Old Master Lu with resentment, not even bothering to see him off as he boarded the train.

On the contrary, He Yingying, the granddaughter who was not her biological daughter, cried her heart out on the platform, as if it were a matter of life and death.

"Grandpa, Yingying is so sorry for making you worry!"

"Grandpa, take good care of yourself when you go back. I'll miss you."

"Grandpa, please take good care of yourself and stay healthy. Once I become Zheng's wife, I will take good care of you and give you a big, healthy great-grandson."

......

This brought tears to the eyes of Old Master Lu.

"Okay, okay, okay, Grandpa will definitely live to be a hundred years old, waiting to drink your and Zheng's wedding wine, and take care of your baby!"

Lu Yanzheng shook his head helplessly, urging them on with an unhappy expression.

"Alright, Grandpa has an attendant escorting him all the way, it'll be fine. Yingying, let's go back!"

Just before departure, He Yingying was still leaning against the window, unwilling to leave.

"Grandpa, please don't tell Dad and Mom about Zheng and me, okay? I'm afraid they'll worry."

"Don't worry, don't worry, Grandpa will definitely not tell. Good boy, go back now!"

Old Lu is very cunning; even if He Yingying doesn't confess, he won't say anything.

No one knew that Lu Yanzheng had married Xiao Re, and besides, they would be getting a divorce later, so how could he possibly announce it so openly?

That would damage the reputation of both the grandson and his wife.

The reason he kept Lu Yanting in the army was because he was afraid that Lu Yanting wouldn't keep a secret and might leak it to his group of cronies if he got carried away.

After Lu Yanzheng and the others saw Grandpa Lu off at the train station, Lu Yanting was left alone at home. The house was empty; there was no cursing from the old man, no fists from his elder brother, and no weeping from He Yingying. It was quite quiet.

It's just a bit too boring.

He was particularly annoyed when he saw the "luxury hardboard bed" made of four benches pieced together, and his chest felt tight.

合着全家上下就欺负他一个，好像他是捡来的孩子似得，没人疼，没人爱，还把他当日本鬼子一样揍。

Lu Yanting felt increasingly frustrated and went outside for some fresh air, his anger simmering inside.

The military camp had strict rules; barracks, training grounds, and office areas were all off-limits, and no one was allowed to trespass. As a temporary staff member, he didn't dare to wander around and cause trouble. Bored out of his mind, he simply avoided the bustling main road of the camp and wandered aimlessly along the country dirt road outside the wall.

That area is the production brigade's fields, forests, and planting areas, a tranquil and peaceful place, perfect for slacking off and doing nothing.

The August weather was unbearably hot and humid, and there happened to be a small reservoir at the foot of the mountain. The water was crystal clear, sparkling and inviting.

Seeing that no one was around, Lu Yanting quickly took off his clothes and jumped inside shirtless.

A cool breeze swept over him, making him feel incredibly comfortable, like a white fish swimming and tumbling nimbly inside.

Tired of rolling around, I rolled over, lay down on the water, and floated on the surface like a floating corpse, half-closing my eyes to admire the blue sky and white clouds above.

Suddenly, a graceful figure appeared on the small hill in front of us.

A pretty girl with delicate features walked down the ridge of the field, carrying a bamboo basket.

As she drew closer, Lu Yanting wondered if he should turn over to avoid being seen by others, so that his proud little bud would not be seen.

Suddenly, a scream came from the shore.

"Oh my god! Help! There's a male corpse here!"

Lu Yanting: "???"

I wondered, was the male corpse he was talking about me?

Before he could react, he heard a loud "thump"!

The girl, like a bomb, plunged straight into the water with a reckless momentum, frantically flailing her arms and legs towards him.

"Hey you, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

The girl who dived was Yang Erni.

It was hot, so Xiao Re asked her to bring the piglet over for a bath to cool it off. Who knew this would happen?

When she saw Lu Yanting floating motionless on the water, she was so anxious that she only thought about saving him and completely forgot that she couldn't swim at all.

"Ah, help! I need help!"

The reservoir was quite deep; the water reached her throat as soon as she jumped in. A tremendous feeling of suffocation washed over her as the lake water kept pouring into her mouth and nose, completely submerging her.

Yang Erni's vision went black, and she instantly lost all strength. Her body sank straight down, and apart from flailing her arms and legs, she could no longer make any sound.

Her mind went completely blank, and in the darkness, she felt as if the King of Hell was beckoning to her.

Just as she was on the verge of suffocating, a strong and powerful arm pulled her out of despair, while another arm supported her waist and lifted her up forcefully.

Yang Erni finally breathed in fresh air and felt completely revived.

When she reached the shore, still shaken, she finally saw the face of the man next to her.

"Ah—it's come back to life!"

"There's a ghost!"

Lu Yanting's eardrums were almost ruptured by her.

This woman is not only bold, but also has a loud voice.

She couldn't swim at all, yet she foolishly rushed into the water. Was she trying to save a life or risk it?

Fortunately, he wasn't a real corpse. Otherwise, she would have been.

"Hey! Look closely, I'm a living person, a living, breathing person, a person with body temperature and a heartbeat. Don't believe me? Touch me."

To prove he was alive, Lu Yanting grabbed Yang Erni's hand and pressed it against his chest to verify.

With a slap, Yang Erni pushed him away.

"Ah!—A ghost is playing dirty tricks!"

Lu Yanting's eardrum almost ruptured again.

He sat on the ground, looking at Yang Erni who was screaming and crying, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This girl is really naive.

He kindly saved her life, yet she mistook him for a ghost.

It's one thing to be a ghost, but it's a lecherous one too.

Lu Yanting has never even held a girl's hand since he was a child, so how could he possibly act like a hooligan towards a young girl?

Although he often joked with Xiaohong, Xiaomei, Xiaoyan, Xiaochun, etc., it was all just innocent jokes, and he never had any lewd thoughts.

But the girl in front of me had round eyes, a round face, puffed-out cheeks, and a pair of round...

Because her clothes were wet, her full, rounded breasts were especially noticeable. Lu Yanting only glanced at them before his face turned bright red.

A trail of bright red blood slowly dripped down the tip of his handsome nose.

It landed on Yang Erni's snow-white instep.
