Chapter 182 - 0182 Meeting with the Leader 2_1
Niu Yibao and Lu Jiang were both big eaters, finishing off a pot of porridge between them, leaving no buns, and only a bit of soup left from the veggies. Niu Yibao dutifully cleaned up and returned the earthen pot to the canteen, getting back the five cents deposit to give to Feng Qingxue.
"Qingxue, let Niu Yibao stay with me tonight and you return to the guest house to rest," Lu Jiang proposed.
Feng Qingxue gently nodded her head.
Even though she wanted to stay with Lu Jiang, they were not formally married, and thus they had to consider their public image. Else, if someone were to report them, it could lead to a lot of trouble.
With Niu Yibao present in the room, she was bashful about comforting Lu Jiang in hushed tones and instead pretended to be busy straightening the blankets and pillows.
Lu Jiang’s eyes were fixed on her, following her every move.
Niu Yibao, the simple-minded man, noticed that the typically harsh and cruel Commander Lu, who was devoid of the terror and menace he showed on the battlefield, had eyes as soft as water.
Ah, that would give him quite a story to share with his comrades when he went back, thought Niu Yibao.
The sister-in-law was beautiful and kind, treating him like a brother. Any of her deeds could be an interesting topic to discuss, stirring envy in those who had neither seen nor experienced her kindness!
At Lu Jiang’s instruction, while the day was still light, Niu Yibao escorted Feng Qingxue back to the guest house.
Feeling it was insufficient, Niu Yibao also led her to the door of her room.
