After eating, pregnant women are prone to drowsiness. Since Teacher Shen and Xiaoming had already finished eating, after telling Ruan Ruan, they took her back to rest.

After they left, Ruan Ruan sat down next to Huo Haocheng, holding a bowl of soup, and watched Ruan Shaoke and Bai Sirui interact.

"Eat some food first before drinking. Don't rush, or you'll hurt your stomach," Ruan Shaoke said, as he kept putting food into Commander Bai's bowl.

Since their relationship became public, the two no longer hid it from others, but they also did not do anything outrageous in public.

"I know, sweetie, eat some more yourself," she said, placing a piece of fish in his bowl. She even thoughtfully removed the fish bones.

Everyone present saw what the two of them were doing. They had done this before, but they had only thought it was brotherly affection. Now, seeing it, they realized it really seemed like a real relationship.

But even though they saw it, no one really cared, except for the two of them. The hostess tonight, Ruan Ruan, was a huge fan of their pairing, and Huo Haocheng couldn't stand seeing his wife giving them that doting smile.

Of course, her gaze did not escape the eyes of others.

"Little sister, can you explain to us where that smile on your face comes from?" Ruan Shaolin couldn't understand her expression at all.

"Ah, ah, oh, it's nothing, I just feel so happy that we can all get together today for the New Year, yes, I'm so happy."

When Ruan Shaolin called her, she didn't react at first. Fortunately, Huo Haocheng was there and gently touched her, which made her realize what was happening. She didn't know what to say for a moment and could only stammer and mumble something.

Her reaction naturally failed to convince him, but there was nothing he could do, and it wasn't easy to delve into it. "I really don't understand you?" Should he pretend he didn't see it? Her eyes never left the two of them.

Even after so much time has passed, Ruan Shaolin still can't accept that Ruan Shaoke and Bai Sirui are together. However, he usually pretends to see them, and whenever they are alone together, he stays far away, as if he doesn't want to see them and be bothered.

"This is something you don't need to understand, Fourth Brother. You'll understand when you have a boyfriend." She didn't want to try to convince him. Anyway, shipping couples was her own business, and not everyone could understand her like Huo Haocheng did.

Huo Haocheng: No, I can't understand.

"Alright, tone it down a bit." Seeing that everyone's attention had shifted to them, Ruan Shaoke felt a little embarrassed. When Bai Sirui put food on his plate again, he gently stopped his chopsticks and whispered in his ear that he should tone it down.

Seeing that Ruan Shaoke was feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Huo Haocheng sighed and used his hand to shield himself from his wife's intense eyes.

"Alright, if you keep watching, your second brother is leaving."

"When did Second Brother become so thin-skinned? I remember they used to have a lot of responsibilities."

She remembered how arrogant the couple had been in front of her when she first discovered their relationship. She even remembered how Bai Sirui had provoked her.

"It's not that Second Brother is thin-skinned, it's just that you see it's too blatant, and the one with the most audacity has always been Bai Sirui."

"Oh, I get it. So, Second Brother has always been the passive one! Sigh, I thought he was a double A, but it turns out he's an AO!"

Huo Haocheng didn't understand Ruan Ruan's words for a moment. What did "double A" and "AO" mean? Now it was his turn to look at her with a puzzled expression.

Faced with his questioning expression, Ruan Ruan didn't know how to explain for a moment. "You don't need to know. Just know that I'm a fan of both of them."

"Hey, your uncle's still here. What are you two whispering about?"

"Yes, it's the Lunar New Year, what is there that we can't listen to?"

Seeing that they were whispering to each other, Ruan Shaolin and Ge Xiaotian started teasing them. Bai Sirui, who usually argued with Ruan Ruan the most, also wanted to make a joke, but was stopped by Ruan Shaoke pinching his waist.

"I'm asking Huo Haocheng, with so many of you, why aren't you dating anyone? Aren't you all around the same age? Why haven't your families arranged any blind dates for you?"

Hmph, trying to make fun of me? No way. Ruan Ruan's words are always a bombshell.

In one sentence, he silenced the single people.

Commander Gu is going to be a grandfather today. He's happy and drank quite a bit. When he heard his niece's question, he felt it was time to make arrangements. "Yes, when I have time, I'll call your family and ask. You've been home for so long, why haven't we made any arrangements for you?"

Looking around, I saw that everyone here was a young man in his mid-twenties, and none of them were bad-looking. Why weren't they all looking for partners?

“You should all learn from Haocheng. Look at him, he was engaged when he was young, and as soon as he reached the legal marriage age, he rushed back to get married. We don’t have to worry about him at all. And look at you all, you’re not young anymore. Even Gu Jinghe has a child now, and you’re still single.”

"Exactly, you guys better not wait until I have kids and you're still single!"

The uncle and nephew, taking turns urging each other to get married, started pressuring each other to do so.

Ruan Shaolin and Ge Xiaotian never expected that a joke would put all the single people present in such an awkward position.

"Hmph, you little brat, you think you can mess with me?"

Seeing their frustrated expressions, Ruan Ruan felt a surge of joy. "Taking you guys by the nose is a piece of cake. Humph, you want to see me make a fool of myself?"

I laughed triumphantly, and laughed triumphantly again, hoping to enjoy a lifetime of carefree happiness...

Huo Haocheng, standing to the side, found it amusing to hear her humming lyrics and gently patted her head, saying, "Stop being naughty."

"It's not that we don't want to date, we do! It's just that we haven't met the right person yet. Ruan Ruan, you have a lot of female friends around you, when is a good time for you to introduce us to someone?"

Actually, after returning from their missions, their families arranged blind dates for them, but as Su Yanqiu said, they felt they weren't a good match. Either the other person's family was too complicated, or the women felt their work was too dangerous and hoped they could be transferred back.

Such requirements are far too difficult for them as soldiers. They have worked so hard to get to where they are today, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will dedicate their entire lives to it. There is no reason for them to run away just because of danger.

"Okay, after the New Year, I'll go find my aunt and sister-in-law and start looking for someone for you."

Ruan Ruan had never done matchmaking before, but she thought it sounded fun, so she agreed. After the New Year, she would ask around in the factory to see if there were any women with good tempers and harmonious families, and then she would invite them over to arrange a social event for them.

They ate their New Year's Eve dinner until midnight before heading back. Afterward, they chatted about all sorts of things, not really wanting to go back to their cold, empty dorm room and be left alone.
