Chapter 50: Are You Two Dating
Then, Gu Yan hurriedly went with the other guy to look at some medicinal herbs.
The tone of their conversation was casual and enthusiastic, obviously, they knew each other. And Colonel Lu, standing on the side, was perfectly ignored.
Colonel Lu got ten thousand points of damage!
Lu Ye took a wide step with his long legs and quickly followed them and squeezed himself between Gu Yan and Chen Yuan. He said carelessly, “Gu Yan, why didn’t you wait for me, who’s going to pay for you later?”
Gu Yan was shocked.
Did you say you were going to pay earlier?
Chen Yuan’s hand that was holding a wild ginseng paused.
What did Colonel Lu mean by that?!
Was he and Gu Yan…so familiar with each other?
In the past, Gu Yan definitely would’ve noticed both men were acting a little weird.
But right now, the only thing in her brain was hunger hunger hunger, she didn’t have the energy to detect the nuance of these two men.
Gu Yan looked at some medicinal herbs. Of course they didn’t hold a candle to the wild ginseng she found in the mountains or the Reishi mushroom from Shen Nana.
But they were affordable.
And, when Gu Yan looked at those small wild ginsengs, she felt hungry, too.
Eventually, Gu Yan picked some herbs, and also picked out goji berries and lilies to match with.
Even though the things she picked were relatively more affordable, the total still came to more than twenty bucks.
Lu Ye paid for her.
More than twenty bucks weren’t cheap, but once Gu Yan thought she had to make medicated liquor for Lu Ye, she didn’t say much at all.
Only Chen Yuan looked at the calm Colonel Lu who was paying with complexity.
He tolerated, then tolerated some more, but eventually, he couldn’t hold it anymore.
Chen Yuan asked cautiously, “Gu Yan, how did you know Colonel Lu?”
“…Someone else introduced us.” Gu Yan was a little absent-minded. She was thinking should she go to the washroom first and let the little jade pendant try out these medicinal herbs.
Because she still hadn’t made up her mind yet, so she asked Lu Ye to hold the medicinal herbs in case the little jade pendant eats them from her hand.
It appeared she must conduct some trials to see how she could control this little foodie’s method of eating.
Chen Yuan was shocked, the look in his eyes became more intricate, “are you two dating?”
“Dating?” Gu Yan finally realized what she just said.
At that era, most people started dating through the help of others by introducing, especially people in the army. If they do start dating, they have to fill out a dating application as well.
It just so happened that Lu Ye finished checking out and walked towards them. He asked, “what about dating?”
His piercing eyes glanced at Chen Yuan.
Gu Yan pulled his clothes and said, “nothing, let’s go. I’m really hungry.”
The girl’s soft and sweet voice and her tender little hand touching him were enough to douse all the powerful aggression instantly.
Nothing got elevated or down-played, his anger just dissolved.
“Okay.”
Chen Yuan’s heart was filled with confusion as he watched those two leaving.
He felt well-disposed towards Gu Yan. Despite the fact that Gu Yan came from the village, she was pretty, smart, graceful, and hard-working.
Besides, it looked like Gu Yan and Colonel Lu were not dating.
After all, Colonel Lu was not suited for Gu Yan.
Chen Yuan lowered his eyes, and pushed away the emotions in his eyes little by little.
Actually, he was not suited for Gu Yan either, because of his physical condition…
Gu Yan dragged Lu Ye to a noodle restaurant. This was a northwestern-style noodle restaurant. They smelled the scent of handmade noodles and minced noodles as soon as they entered.
And delicious-looking mutton and bread pieces in soup.
One buck for a big bowl, and it was way too much for a girl to finish.
Even though Lu Ye came from a high-status family, he was thrown in the military by his grandfather ever since he was little. He wasn’t picky with what he ate or drank and sat at the table.
But right now, he was pretending to look appalled, “Gu Yan, this is what you’re treating me?”
Gu Yan was shocked, then she remembered that Lu Ye was a southerner.
But Lu Ye didn’t look like a southerner at all. He was more muscular than many northern men, his complexion was a healthy tan.
She thought about it and said, “sorry about this, Colonel Lu, I forgot that you are from the south and don’t really eat noodles.”
Lu Ye saw how sincere this girl’s apologetic face was and smiled, “this meal is fine, but next time, I’m gonna have rice.”
