Chapter 286: Get-Together at the Cafeteria


    It was not themon dinnertime for the soldiers at this time of the day, so when Jiang Yao and Lu


    Xingzhi went it, it was quite vacant.


    "There you are! Come here,e! Take a seat!"


    Colonel Lin waved his hand at them enthusiastically the minute they walked in. He and the attendees


    were taken aback when theyid eyes on Jiang Yao.


    They knew that Lu Xingzhi married his wife when she was only eighteen years old, the wedding


    seemed to be held in a rush too. Now that they finally saw her face, they were stunned in surprise. The


    girl looked very charming and sweet, people would buy it if she imed herself to be a minor.


    "Xingzhi, you''re the man! No wonder you have to marry her fast!" Colonel Lin was thirty-seven years


    old, he was the youngest colonel in the base. Since he shared a close friendship with Lu Xingzhi, he


    talked to him in a casual and leisure tone.


    Upon the remark, Mrs. Lin withdrew her gaze from Jiang Yao and chuckled, "That''s right. If I''m a man


    and I stumble upon such a finedy, I would have married her quick too."


    Mrs. Lin led Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao to their seats. After settling in, Mrs. Lin introduced the people


    around her to Jiang Yao. The slightly shorter and chubbier woman was Deng Meihua, Major Zhu''s wife,


    Jiang Yao addressed her as Mrs. Zhu. Sitting beside Mrs. Zhu was a skinny woman, Jiang Liping,


    Captain Yang''s wife.


    "Did you take a stroll around Jin City this afternoon? How was it? What''s the difference between our


    city and the southern city?" Mrs. Lin was local. She had never been to the southern region before,


    hence she was curious about the ce.


    "Sergeant Lu went to fetch you after lunch. I thought that you would arriveter in the afternoon, but


    who knew you''d be back in the evening." Colonel Lin shot a cheeky nce at Lu Xingzhi before


    speaking to Jiang Yao again, "Just now, I asked him whether your train would arrive at around 1 pm


    since he was going to pick you up after lunch. Only then did I find out that your flight was at 1.30 pm.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    You hadn''t even taken off yet when he went out!"


    The minute Colonel Lin finished talking, everyone at the tableughed happily.


    At the side, Jiang Yao pursed her lips tight, trying to muffle augh. Afternding, she asked how long


    he had been waiting for her, and he answered that he had just arrived. Well, the man definitely lied


    without batting an eye. He was clearly there at the airport for a long time. No wonder his shirt felt cold


    and moist.


    Lu Xingzhi lowered his gaze at the youngdy who was snickering with her lips curled mischievously.


    He did not feel even the slightest embarrassment after being exposed.


    He dearly anticipated for the day''s arrival. In the morning, as soon as the sun rose, he was not able to


    focus on the training nor his duty at the base as he thought about Jiang Yao who would arrive in the


    evening. Thus, he took half a day off and rushed to the airport to wait for her arrival.


    He waited for hours at the airport, but it was very pleasant and delightful. Every minute passed


    indicated that she wasing to him soon.


    Looking at the dishes on the table, Jiang Yao knew that they had first inquired about her taste from Lu


    Xingzhi. Almost all the dishes were lightly vored and stews that were not that spicy.


    It was actually a get-together between therades and their families in the name of a wee feast.


    During Lu Xingzhi''s wedding, no one from the base could attend because of the distance. This was the


    first time they were seeing Lu Xingzhi''s wife after being married for more than a year. In order to make


    a good impression on the base, Colonel Lin sponsored tonight''s dinner.
