After a few rounds of drinks, the people gradually dispersed. Once they had finished cleaning up and left, Ruan Ruan pulled Huo Haocheng aside and asked who that person was.

"You mean Bai Sirui, Commander Bai? He's only been here for two days, here to be our aerial training instructor. Why are you suddenly asking about him?" Huo Haocheng held Ruan Ruan in his arms, his breath carrying a faint smell of alcohol. Hearing Ruan Ruan ask about other men, he was a little unhappy.

"Didn't you notice anything different about him towards Second Brother?" Ruan Ruan asked quietly in his arms.

"He treats Second Brother a little better than he treats us, but that's probably because he's Second Brother's commander." Huo Haocheng didn't understand why Ruan Ruan asked this, but he still recalled their usual training scenes, and there was nothing special about them.

When Ruan Ruan heard him say that, she didn't know how to explain it to him. She decided that it was more fun to ship couples in secret.

"It's late, I'm going to take a shower. I stink, I smell like cooking oil. I don't know what you're holding onto so tightly." Ruan Ruan raised her arm and sniffed it. It really did stink. After saying that, she walked towards the bedroom.

"It doesn't smell bad at all, my wife always smells wonderful," Huo Haocheng said, but he still got up with her to fetch water and prepare the things she needed for a bath.

I also carried a bucket of water and took a quick shower in the backyard.

When Ruan Ruan came out, he was already waiting outside the door. Seeing her come out, he picked her up and walked towards the bedroom.

"Wife, it's been so long since we've..." Huo Haocheng placed her on the bed, pressed down on her, and kissed her incessantly, not giving her a chance to speak, while his hands continued their actions.

... (Can't write it down (?_?))

On the other side, when Huo Haoshen and Zheng Xuyang were almost home, they let Huo Haoli and Xiao Jie go inside first, and then they parted ways with the girls they liked.

"What's wrong?" Lu Shuyan asked as Huo Haocheng led her to a large tree at the village entrance. The tree was so big that no one could see them standing inside.

"You like Ruan Shaoke, right?" Huo Haoshen originally planned to confess to her tonight, but he saw Lu Shuyan's expression when she looked at Ruan Shaoke during dinner, and he was very jealous.

"Huh? I don't like him? Why do you ask that?" Lu Shuyan felt that Huo Haoshen's question was unfounded. Where did he get the idea that she liked Ruan Shaoke? She clearly liked him.

"Then you still secretly look at him while you're eating?"

"What's wrong with me secretly watching him? He's handsome. Everyone appreciates beauty. It wasn't just me watching; Ruan Ruan and Dr. Jiang were watching too!"

"If you don't like him, do you like me?" Huo Haoshen asked nervously.

"Do you like me?" Lu Shuyan thought, she didn't want to admit it first. He hadn't even said he liked her.

"I like you. I've liked you since the first moment I saw you. Can you like me back?"

"Since you like me, then I like you too." Lu Shuyan was very happy to hear Huo Haoshen say that he liked her at first sight.

"Really? Then from now on, you're my boyfriend." Huo Haoshen was overjoyed to hear her words, hugged her tightly, and excitedly kissed her on the cheek.

"Then you have to treat me well, okay? If you don't treat me well, I won't like you anymore," Lu Shuyan said shyly in his arms.

"Don't worry, I'll always treat you well. Tomorrow I'll go and tell my older brother that if I'm not good to you, he can beat me to death." Huo Haoshen released her and looked into her eyes seriously.

"Alright, I believe you." She had heard Huo Haocheng beat up his brothers since they were young, and she had also heard them talk about the Huo family's situation, so she believed Huo Haocheng's words.

"Let's go, it's late, let's head back first."

After confirming their relationship, Huo Haoshen took her home. With their worries resolved, they were both excited and rolled around happily in bed until they finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Zheng Xuyang was in the same situation as Huo Haoshen, but he was more rational. When Huo Haoshen took her away, he took He Yuwei back to her side and confessed his feelings directly.

"Comrade He Yuwei, I like you very much. Do you like me?" Zheng Xuyang said to He Yuwei standing in the courtyard. He could tell that He Yuwei looked at Ruan Shaoke with the appreciation of a young girl seeing something beautiful; there was no love in her eyes.

“Comrade Zheng Xuyang, I like you too,” He Yuwei lowered her head and answered in a very soft voice. After saying this, she could clearly feel her face turning red, but the night helped her hide it quite a bit.

"Comrade He Yuwei, is it alright for us to start dating with marriage in mind?"

"Um"

"Yuwei, please guide me for the rest of my life." Zheng Xuyang extended his hand in front of her after hearing her nod.

"Xuyang, please guide me for the rest of my life," He Yuwei mimicked her gesture, extending her hand to him.

After shaking hands, Zheng Xuyang pulled the person into his arms, hugged them briefly, and then let go.

"You should get some rest. I'll head back now. Goodnight." He then returned to his own courtyard through the side gate.

After seeing him leave, He Yuwei closed the door and quietly walked back to her room.

Meanwhile, the group that returned to their military dormitory grabbed their toiletries and went to wash up. Seeing that they had all left, Bai Sirui, who was walking at the back, pulled Ruan Shaoke aside and led him to a secluded corner.

"What are you doing?" Ruan Shaoke was pinned against the wall and nervously looked around before asking when no one was around.
