Chapter 2 He's a good person!

"Chu Lulu!"

Wang Chengjun was in so much pain that his face turned red. He clutched his stomach and bent over like a shrimp.

"When I talk to you about feelings, you play mind games with me."

"Now that I'm talking to you about money, you want to talk to me about feelings."

"Wang Chengjun, do you think you're the only smart one in the world, and everyone else is an idiot?"

Those who thought it was dirty clapped their hands.

Suddenly seeing Commander Jiang's expressionless face, he smiled ingratiatingly, then sat down on the stool and guiltily picked up the ceramic mug he had just been drinking from.

Feeling pitiful and wronged, feeling pitiful and wronged, silently repeat to yourself three times to strengthen your resolve.

Her sharp eyes softened into a watery, obedient expression. "Boss, I was just too excited."

“At this point, even if he told me the truth—that he was deceiving my feelings, swindling my father out of his retirement money, or just a gold digger trying to climb the social ladder—I would accept it. I was the one who misjudged him. But him…”

"I'm heartbroken!"

Commander Jiang's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Wang Chengjun and said, "Since you spent all this money, you should reimburse Comrade Chu!"

Although Comrade Chu's sudden action surprised him somewhat.

It is only right to pay back debts.

"Boss, I'll go borrow it right away."

Wang Chengjun dared not say anything more, fearing it would affect his appointment. The most important thing now was to appease Chu Lulu and show his loyalty to the leader!

To say he's pitiful is an understatement; he truly is pitiful!

He didn't have any money on him.

The salary and subsidies he received over the past two years were all used to coax Li Xiuhong. Otherwise, how could a poor boy with no status or background have managed to win over the deputy regimental commander's daughter?

Wang Chengjun was unaware that an even deeper abyss was just beginning to unfold.

Upon returning to Camp Three, Xiao Jinli summoned his guards and ordered, "Pass down the word that everyone's training exercise today will be conducted at Camp Three."

"By the way, Wang Chengjun's team is on their final training exercise."

"Today is Wednesday. Is there a political education class for military families? Let's move it to classroom number three, which is near the main entrance."

Orders were issued one after another.

Site No. 3 is a special place, exclusively for the use and training of the Independent Battalion. Ordinary troops are not allowed to enter without permission, let alone military dependents.

"yes!"

Just as the guard was about to assign tasks, Xiao Jinli stopped him, saying, "Make a handwritten copy of these letters, following the handwriting, and post your copy on the bulletin board at the entrance of number three."

"yes!"

Although the guards were curious, they were advised not to pry into the battalion commander's affairs, or they would be given extra training!

This guard had a special skill: he could imitate other people's handwriting so perfectly that it was impossible to tell the difference.

On the other hand, Wang Chengjun borrowed money from all the people he was close to, and finally managed to borrow five hundred yuan.

"This is all I can borrow right now. I'll give you an IOU for the rest. I promise I won't owe you a single penny!"

Wang Chengjun's face turned red, and he looked humiliated, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes as he lowered his head.

He would return all the money he gave out to Chu Lulu when she returned!

He will repay Chu Lulu for the embarrassment she caused him today, in no small amount!

Chu Lulu didn't care about anything else. She took the money, counted it—five hundred yuan—and unceremoniously stuffed it into her tattered bag.

Then he looked at Commander Jiang and said, "Sir, money in the bank earns interest, so it's not unreasonable for me to ask for interest on the money I lend out, is it?"

"Six hundred and seventy yuan, with three years of interest, I only want one hundred yuan, is that too much to ask?"

Wang Chengjun's hidden gloom was almost impossible to conceal; his voice seemed to come out through clenched teeth, "Okay."

He wrote an IOU for 270 yuan and handed it to Chu Lulu.

"Chu Lulu, we're even now!"

The joy I felt earlier had vanished, leaving only a gloomy feeling in my heart.

Putting away the IOU, Chu Lulu couldn't be bothered with the scumbag.

He bowed to Commander Jiang and said, "Thank you for standing up for me, leader. You are truly a good leader who cares for the people and the country. I won't take up any more of your precious time."

"One last thing I shouldn't have said: Wang Chengjun has been in the army for over two years, and his skills are... wow!"

During the sneak attack, she wasn't very fast. Her stomach was empty and she had no strength, so she slowed down even more in order to increase her strength. She could have reacted in time.

This only proves that Wang Chengjun is utterly useless.

Aside from his somewhat effeminate face, which makes him look like a pretty boy, there's nothing commendable about him.

If she had awakened earlier, her father wouldn't have been fooled by this guy!

"Chu Lulu, you..."

Just outside the commander's office, Wang Chengjun, suppressing his anger, tried to pull Chu Lulu aside.

But before his hand could even touch her arm, a hand grabbed his wrist tightly, with such force that it seemed as if it would crush his bones!

"Battalion Commander Xiao, what are you doing here?"

Wang Chengjun's face turned ashen. He couldn't understand how he had seen Xiao the Demon here.

Chu Lulu didn't even dare to look at his cowardly appearance!

This cowardly bastard stepped forward, lured away the enemy, and saved the entire team's lives.

She dared not listen to what others dared to say.

Doubts arose regarding the military's announcement.

"If Deputy Platoon Leader Wang can come, why can't I?"

Xiao Jinli smiled dangerously, his voice seemingly laced with ice, and slowly released Wang Chengjun's wrist.

"Of course I can, I need to go back to training."

Seeing Wang Chengjun's terrified expression, Chu Lulu really wanted to whistle and call him a coward!

What are you doing here?

She looked at Xiao Jinli with a hint of curiosity, then seemed to remember something, "About inviting you to dinner?"

There's no need to be in such a hurry!

Xiao Jinli glared at her, annoyed. Wasn't she just worried that Wang Chengjun would resort to desperate measures and she would be bullied?

As a result, this heartless person is still misunderstanding him!

Is he short of food?

He shoved the oil paper package he was holding into her arms, said nothing, and strode off towards the door.

Is this person born in the Year of the Dog? How can they have such a bad temper? She didn't say she wouldn't treat us!

Open the oil paper package, and inside is a plump steamed bun and two peeled hard-boiled eggs.

Perhaps because he held it in his arms, it's still warm.

Huh?

It's a good dog...

no!

He's a good person!

She was so hungry she was seeing stars; she almost couldn't dodge Wang Chengjun's outstretched hand.

"Battalion Commander Xiao?"

"Thank you so much, you're such a kind person!"

Although Xiao Jinli walked forward, his speed slowed down more and more, almost to the point of standing still.

Hearing her words, the face that was turned away from Chu Lulu softened even more, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Those letters have been posted, ensuring that everyone in the entire military region can see them."

When... will you treat me to dinner?

"Cough cough!"

Xiao Jinli was somewhat awkward and unnatural, as it was the first time he had ever pressed someone about treating him to a meal.
