A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

Lu Xiaojun and Lu Weihua seemed to sense a subtle current in the air.

First, look at Ye Wenxi—his brows are furrowed.

Then look at that receding figure.

Then the two looked at each other.

Yes! There is a situation!

Ye Wenxi's brows had been furrowed ever since she heard Su Feng's words.

This subtle change was accurately captured by Lu Weihua.

"What's going on?"

Ye Wenxi turned to look at her, sighed, and said nothing.

Lu Xiaojun spoke slowly, "Don't you understand?"

Ye Wenxi: "???"

"No?!" She stared wide-eyed at Lu Xiaojun, utterly incredulous.

"What do you know?"

Lu Xiaojun spoke as calmly as if he were reciting a menu:

"He has a crush on you, you want to distance yourself, but he's still a little persistent."

Ye Wenxi stood rooted to the spot, as if someone had struck her pressure points.

His mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Lu Xiaojun turned his head and gestured with his chin towards Lu Weihua:

"See, I was right."

It took Ye Wenxi a while to recover.

"Hey Lu Xiaojun, don't talk nonsense. What do you know, you little brat?"

Focus your mind on your studies!

"Your parents gave me a mission this time."

Lu Xiaojun asked unhurriedly, "What mission?"

"We'll let you experience military life, including morning exercises, training sessions, discipline, and report writing."

"One article per day, no less than 800 words."

"Finish writing and go home to exchange it for your allowance next semester."

Ye Wenxi said in a very serious tone.

Lu Xiaojun nodded.

"See, I told you my parents wouldn't let me study."

"They have a very clear understanding of me."

"Okay, I'm going then!"

"Where are you going?" Ye Wenxi didn't react.

"I'll just wander around for a bit..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiaojun took off running outside.

"Hey? Stay in unit 4, room 201 tonight, don't go to the wrong place!"

"Okay!"

The sound came back from dozens of meters away, but the person had already disappeared.

Ye Wenxi sighed and turned around.

Lu Weihua's big face was almost touching his, their noses almost touching.

Ye Wenxi leaned back: "!!...What are you doing?"

Lu Weihua grabbed her arm, his eyes gleaming: "Confess honestly."

Ye Wenxi's eyes darted around, and he stammered.

"N-nothing..."

"No, I'm your best friend! How dare you keep secrets from me?"

Lu Weihua beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking heartbroken: "We were sworn brothers!"

"I'm still your second sister-in-law!" Ye Wenxi glanced at her sideways.

"No."

Lu Weihua covered his chest with both hands, his gaze intense, as if making a vow.

"In my heart, you're like my own best friend!"

She rolled her eyes resignedly and let out a long sigh.

"Didn't Xiaojun say that..."

"Holy crap!! Really??" Lu Weihua managed a dying squeal.

"Shh——!!"

Ye Wenxi covered her mouth with her hand, almost shoving her into the holly bushes by the roadside.

Lu Weihua pulled her hand down, her hair was disheveled, but her eyes shone like searchlights.

Does my brother know?

"They probably know..." Ye Wenxi frowned. "Those two have never gotten along before."

"That guy is amazing." Lu Weihua gasped.

"Even my brother couldn't cure him?"

This doesn't fit her brother's personality.

Lu Weidong is now protecting Ye Wenxi like the apple of his eye; if anyone dares to pounce on her, he'll cripple them on the spot.

They didn't care about their status or face.

"They didn't do anything," Ye Wenxi said, rubbing her forehead. "It was just normal interaction."

"So what do you think?"

"Nonsense! You really think I'm fickle?"

Ye Wenxi pointed to the tip of her nose, her eyes almost popping out.

"Of course not!" Lu Weihua said innocently.

Then she blinked and muttered softly:

"I mean... the terms are pretty good, let's accept it."

Ye Wenxi's pupils dilated.

Three seconds later—

"Are you fucking crazy, Lu Weihua?!"

She grabbed Lu Weihua by the collar and slammed him against a sycamore tree trunk by the roadside, shaking him violently.

The withered leaves fell down, covering their heads.

Ye Wenxi really couldn't take it anymore.

This sister-in-law is even more mischievous than her college roommate.

It's gossipy, obscene, and yet it's presented with such self-righteousness.

Lu Weihua was shaken so badly that his words were shattered into pieces:

"I...I'm doing this for your own good—!!"

"Are you hoping I break up with your brother?" Ye Wenxi didn't let go, still holding her neck, waiting for an answer.

"Cough cough cough..." Lu Weihua patted the back of her hand.

Ye Wenxi relaxed, and Lu Weihua rubbed his neck.

"I don't care if you two are 'sex' or not, just give me the sentence."

Ye Wenxi was both angry and amused.

"You mean if I divorce your brother someday, you'll still come back to me?"

"What if I were the one who cheated?"

Lu Weihua didn't respond.

There was no joking around, no laughing it off.

She tucked the stray hairs that Ye Wenxi had shaken down behind her ear, her eyes fixed straight on Ye Wenxi.

"I'll stand with you then."

"My brother will always be my brother."

"I'm afraid that if you two get divorced someday, I won't be able to be your best friend anymore."

The next second, Lu Weihua suddenly grabbed Ye Wenxi's arm tightly and said through gritted teeth:

"So I have to take you!"

Ye Wenxi looked at her unruly sister-in-law and smiled helplessly and warmly.

She knew that Lu Weihua was expressing her trust in her in her nonchalant way.

Lu Weihua didn't even ask who the person was or what he did.

Who Su Feng is is completely unimportant to her.

He can be anyone, with any identity, and any ability.

The conclusions are all the same.

She could use Su Feng as material, as a joke, and as a topic of conversation to amuse each other.

This is not being heartless.

Because she never believed that "the other party is a gentleman, so nothing will happen."

What she believed was that Ye Wenxi wouldn't.

She felt that even being wary was unnecessary, and even being jealous would be a disrespect to Ye Wenxi's character.

Lu Weihua, in the most nonchalant way, gave Ye Wenxi his most powerful trump card.

Ye Wenxi paused for a second.

The wind whipped up the withered leaves by the roadside, swirled them around, and landed at their feet.

Ye Wenxi touched his coat pocket and took out his wallet.

There were at least ten or so 100-yuan bills inside.

She shoved the entire wallet into Lu Weihua's hand.

"Take it and spend it."

Lu Weihua looked down at the bulging wallet in his hand, and a slow smile spread across his face.

He quietly slipped it into his pocket.

The two walked slowly along the path with patches of snow beside the camp.

The sound gradually faded into the distance.

"You really don't like him?"

Give me my money back.

"I was wrong...."

The small meeting room at the regimental headquarters.

The regimental commander, staff officers, and battalion and company commanders sat in a circle.

The cigarette butts in the ashtray had piled up to a peak, and no one bothered to clean them.

News of the Sino-Vietnamese War was being relayed down through the ranks.

The country is organizing border defense operations, and some border troops and field armies have entered a state of combat readiness.

As the regimental chief of staff, Lu Weidong stared intently at the combat report on the table with a furrowed brow.

He turned his head slightly, glancing at Wang Hao beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Wang Hao's face was deathly pale, and he sat there motionless.

His gaze fell on the pages, but he wasn't really focused.
