Chapter 58 -57: Eight Trigrams, Junior Sister is chasing after the guy with the big black face
The two chased each other without generating too much resentment, and in the end, Lu Jingqiu found it quite interesting.
The afternoon work mainly involved discussions and planning in the conference room.
Lu Jingqiu occasionally offered some suggestions, while Luo Xinyue had an attitude of indifference, as if everyone owed her money. In the past, she would just lay back and take it as her due.
After work, everyone went home, but Lu Jingqiu went straight to the dining hall.
“Uncle Zhang, do you have braised eggplant today?”
“The eggplants haven’t come in yet, stir-fried greens, stir-fried potatoes.” Squad Leader Zhang said, and then mysteriously took out a plate of chives and pig’s blood from below: “Here, I saved this especially for you.”
Lu Jingqiu took it joyfully: “Thank you, Uncle Zhang, here, this is for your grandson.”
“Milk candy, eh? Sure, my little guy loves this stuff.”
Lu Jingqiu managed to get her meal before the soldiers started to eat, and found a spot to enjoy her food.
“It’s Junior Sister.”
“Seems like she didn’t come yesterday.”
“She even took photos for us today.”
The young guys in the regiment spotted Lu Jingqiu eating in a corner as soon as they entered the door, each one excited and at a loss for what to do.
It was always such a scene when Lu Jingqiu came to eat every day.
A leader’s daughter, beautiful and competent in her work, many of the soldiers were smitten.
“Idle enough, aren’t you? Not hungry, is that it?” While some were discussing, Jiang Nanzhou suddenly came up from behind with a cold remark.
“Eat, eat, Captain, we’re starving.”
“You guys, come and see me after dinner.”
“Ah.” The three soldiers thought they were in trouble, grimaced, and quickly scrammed in fear.
Jiang Nanzhou naturally saw Lu Jingqiu as well, but he didn’t plan to greet her.
It was Lu Jingqiu, however, who waved at him.
“Comrade Nanzhou, come sit here.”
Jiang Nanzhou looked at the crowded dining hall, hesitated a bit, but still sat down.
“Comrade Nanzhou, how’s your hand?”
“A wound like this, it’ll be fine overnight. Comrade Jingqiu, there are too many people here and too much gossip. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go sit somewhere else.”
Lu Jingqiu thought Jiang Nanzhou might mention the propriety of male-female interactions, smiled internally, nodded her head, but still quickly put a few sticks of pig’s blood onto his plate before he left: “Thanks for your help yesterday, eat a bit more, replenish your strength.”
…
“God, Junior Sister’s putting food on Captain Jiang’s plate.”
“Er Dan, we’re out of luck, Junior Sister’s taken a fancy to the new Captain Jiang.”
“Yang Guodong, what wild fantasies you guys have, as if Junior Sister is within your reach.”
“Company Commander Wang, look, Junior Sister’s serving food to Captain Jiang, and right under everyone’s eyes. She’s making her move, a woman pursuing a man.”
The newly arrived Company Commander Wang looked in the direction they were pointing, clicking his tongue: “Junior Sister’s got eyes for Black-faced Jiang?” He shook his head uncontrollably: “If she really marries him, Junior Sister will definitely be trained like a soldier’s child, scolded by Black-faced Jiang every day. Commander Lu probably doesn’t know yet. If he does, he’d definitely disapprove.”
“Which of you will tattle?”
“Let Er Dan do it.”
“Buzz off, I’m not going.”
“Li Zhu, why don’t you go?”
Li Zhu shook his head: “I think Captain Jiang is pretty good. I’ve seen him smile. Captain Jiang can smile too. It’s not as exaggerated as you guys say.”
Er Dan asked: “When did you see it?”
“When talking to the leader.”
“Cut the crap. How could he dare to keep a straight face when talking to the leader? How would he get along in the future?”
“Yang Guodong, what do you know? A wife brought home is like the leader. If Captain Jiang sees the leader, of course, he wouldn’t dare to scold his wife.”
Li Zhu nodded: “Makes sense.”
Company Commander Wang was listening to their gossip and couldn’t help but laugh to himself.
Meanwhile, Jiang Nanzhou sat down next to Camp Commander Wu.
“”

Camp Commander Wu had already seen it and now, looking at the dishes in his lunch box, he was salivating uncontrollably.
While he was distracted, he tried to sneak a bite but was blocked by Jiang Nanzhou with a chopstick, “Eat your own.”
“Captain Jiang, that’s a gift from sister apprentice, you can’t hog it.”
“If you want some, ask for it yourself.”
Camp Commander Wu quickly shook his head, “No, no, no. I’m a married man, I can’t afford to lose face. She’s interested in someone like you. Hey, when did you two start seeing each other? Impressive, it hasn’t been long, and you’ve already won over Commander Lu’s only daughter. Strategic, precise, ruthless, not bad.”
Jiang Nanzhou placed a chopstick of cabbage in Wu’s bowl, “Eat up. Stop talking nonsense, Comrade Jingqiu and I have nothing to do with each other.”
“That story isn’t very tight, just by saying Comrade Jingqiu gives you away. In our team, no one dares to call her with such intimacy, it’s usually sister apprentice or Comrade Lu.”
Jiang Nanzhou was stunned for a moment, “Really?”
Camp Commander Wu did not speak, but his eyes gave the answer.
Jiang Nanzhou didn’t say anything more, but still clarified, “Truly, there’s nothing between Comrade Lu Jingqiu and me, don’t cause unnecessary ruckus, it could be troublesome for her.”
Camp Commander Wu paused for a moment, staring into Jiang Nanzhou’s eyes, “Really nothing?”
“Nothing.”
…
Lu Jingqiu had just returned home not long ago.
When Jiang Nanzhou came with a few soldiers, carrying two tables.
“Comrade Nanzhou.”
“I forgot to tell you during lunch, your table is ready. Uncle Lu asked me to deliver it.”
“Really, thank you so much, please come in.”
Er Dan, Yang Guodong, and Li Zhu initially thought the regiment commander would punish them, but they ended up getting sent for this task.
And it was a sweet gig at that, delivering a table to the sister apprentice.
This was their first time visiting Army Commander Lu’s home, and they were a bit excited.
“The study is on the second floor, thank you for your hard work.”
“Not at all, not at all,” Er Dan and the others said with a smile.
The upstairs study had already been tidied by her, and the room was quite empty; Lu Jingqiu was just waiting for the tables.
Since the staircase was quite narrow, the tables hadn’t been assembled for delivery.
A carpenter had come along, to assemble them after they were brought up.
After Er Dan and the other two carried the tables upstairs, they left.
Before they left, Lu Jingqiu gave each of them an apple.
Feeling delighted, they not only avoided punishment but also received a big apple. On their way back, they were even thinking about how they would show off.
Jiang Nanzhou stayed upstairs to help the carpenter install the table legs before leaving.
Before he left, he inquired about her cat’s health.
As Lu Jingqiu stuffed an apple into the carpenter’s hands, she handed Jiang Nanzhou a big, red one, saying, “There are some left, but fewer than yesterday.”
Jiang Nanzhou pushed the apple back, “I don’t need it.”
Lu Jingqiu stuffed it directly into his chest, saying, “How can you not need it, to replenish vitamins, I picked them out at the farmer’s market, they’re very sweet.”
“I’m a grown man, I don’t eat this stuff, keep it for yourself.”
“No, this is for you.”
They went back and forth, I insist and you decline until, by accident, Jiang Nanzhou’s hand touched Lu Jingqiu’s.
The soft touch startled him, and he quickly retracted his hand.
But the apple fell back into his grip.
That momentary awkwardness made Lu Jingqiu laugh sheepishly.
Jiang Nanzhou didn’t dare to decline further and nodded at her, “I’ll be going then.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jingqiu waited until they were far away to breathe a sigh of relief. Just now, she had actually touched a handsome guy’s hand. Tsk tsk, it really felt quite nice.
