Currently, Gu Yan and Lu Ye had entered the premises of the park. The couple was taking a leisure stroll along the stone-paved path.
A vast area in the park was majorly populated by pine trees. These trees appeared majestic and towering with their lush acicular leaves, making them conspicuous.
Lu Ye offered, “Let’s eat the sweet potato first. It will be cold later on.”
“You didn’t have breakfast?”
“No, I’m worried you didn’t have enough for breakfast.” Lu Ye found a bench and spread the newspaper for Gu Yan to sit on.
As for Lu Ye, he chose to seat himself next to her as he peeled the sweet potato.
This was Gu Yan’s first time being served like this. The only thing left for her to do was to eat.
She felt a little embarrassed. “I can peel it myself, you know?”
“No, what if it tires your hand?” Lu Ye denied her request without hesitation and continued, “Don’t take it as a joke. You need to listen to the doctors, so your hand can fully recover. Weren’t you going to use a scalpel in the future? Your hand is more precious. You need to study well as well. In case I get injured, you can treat me by then.”
Gu Yan could only stare at him.
The image of the man before her overlapped with the past Lu Ye who was lying helplessly at the operating table.
That pair of loving and trusting eyes gradually closed...
Gu Yan became terrifyingly anxious. She couldn’t tell whether the scene in front of her was real or merely an illusion.
All her emotions were directed towards that moment she couldn’t let go after Lu Ye’s words fell.
Gu Yan suddenly hugged Lu Ye’s neck and exclaimed nervously, “Don’t say that! You won’t get injured. You must not get injured!”
Lu Ye was taken aback by the drastic shift in her behavior.
He reached out his hands, not knowing how to console her. One of his hands was still holding a half-peeled sweet potato.
Captain Lu reveled in the joy of being hugged by his wife out of the blue. He used the other remaining hand to hold her waist.
Despite it being winter and Gu Yan wearing a sufficiently thick coat, her waist still seemed narrow.
Lu Ye carefully touched it and patted her back before responding, “Dummy, how can those who are stationed at the front line not get injured? Even though it’s a peaceful era now, some peril might still occur in the city without a warning. Our mission as soldiers is to deal with the imminent danger and provide a peaceful and safe environment to live in for the civilians.”
“I know...”
Lu Ye’s heart ached upon seeing his little wife nervous. This was his first time to witness her vulnerability.
But then, he thought it was all because she worried too much about him. The love she was devoting to him warmed up her heart.
He gently comforted her.
“Did you forget? The first time we met, I was even injured. I have to thank that injury though. Otherwise, how can we meet?”
Gu Yan relaxed her grip a little and faced Lu Ye. She was speechless. “Who thanks injuries?”
“I do.”
Lu Ye saw his wife’s nose tip was a little red, so were her eyes.
She must have been worried sick just then.
Captain Lu sighed. “Wifey, if you don’t eat the sweet potato, I might want to eat you.”
Gu Yan felt dumbfounded and quickly let go, but Lu Ye’s hand was still sticking to her waist.
Their bodies were intimately touching.
She angrily said, “Although you might end up injured while doing missions at the front line, you must promise me that you will protect yourself first! Did you hear me?!”
“Yes! Wifey!”
Gu Yan had now felt a little of shyness kick in. Just then she had lost control of her emotions. With a timid tone, she said, “Then, let go.”
“You can’t let go.” Lu Ye said seriously, “It’s too cold. My hand is frozen on your clothes. What do I do?”
