Rumors of Liu Yingmei and Hua Shilei dating spread like wildfire, becoming a hot topic among military families after dinner.

By the time Hua Shilei learned of this, the situation had already spiraled out of control. Almost everyone in the family compound, and indeed the entire military region, knew about this supposed romance.

Hua Shilei felt as if he was caught in a sudden storm, and his life instantly became chaos.

Filled with anger, Hua Shilei rushed straight to the art troupe.

On the way to the art troupe dormitory, he happened to run into Liu Yingmei who was walking towards the dormitory.

Liu Yingmei was walking side by side with a colleague, chatting and laughing. Hua Shilei saw this and rushed forward, unceremoniously blocking their way.

"Liu Yingmei! When did I start dating you? Why did you spread such a ridiculous rumor? Now, because of this incident, my life is almost in chaos!"

Hua Shilei's eyes were wide open as he questioned Liu Yingmei loudly. His voice was like thunder exploding in the air, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Liu Yingmei was originally having a happy chat with her colleagues, but was suddenly yelled at by Hua Shilei and was slightly stunned.

But she quickly regained her composure, a look of grievance flashed across her face, and her big watery eyes flickered with a hint of confusion and calmness.

"Captain Hua, what are you talking about? Who told you that I was the one spreading this rumor? I never said we were dating."

Liu Yingmei's voice was still soft and pleasant, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, trying to calm the rage burning in Hua Shilei's heart.

Hua Shilei walked up to her, his eyes piercing:

"Liu Yingmei, why are you pretending? Didn't you tell everyone that we were in a relationship? Do you know how much of an impact this has had on me and my family?"

Liu Yingmei shook her head gently, a hint of innocence flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she said softly:

"Captain Hua, you really misunderstood me! I have never spread such outrageous rumors!

Besides, we just meet occasionally to chat and help each other. How could it be rumored that we are in love?

These rumors really have nothing to do with me!"

Hua Shilei's anger subsided a little after listening to Liu Yingmei's explanation, but his face still showed some doubt and confusion. He frowned and asked:

"If it wasn't you, who else would be so reckless in fabricating what happened between us?"

At this moment, the female comrade who had been walking side by side with Liu Yingmei suddenly stopped, looked puzzled, and said lightly:

"Captain Hua, look at you and our Yingmei. You're both already quite old. What's the big deal about having a serious relationship? Why are you being so secretive and secretive like you are now?"

Hua Shilei quickly waved his hands in denial, "Comrade, Comrade Liu and I are really not in a relationship!"

The female comrade curled her lips slightly, revealing a hint of disdain on her face, and said:

"Hey, Captain Hua, who are you trying to fool? Don't think I don't know. If you and Yingmei weren't in a relationship, how could you possibly go and meet her parents?

I heard it from Yingmei's parents themselves. You two are talking right now, and you've even met their parents. Why are you still pretending?"

Hearing this, Hua Shilei's heart was shocked, and the scene of their meeting was instantly recalled in his mind. His face instantly became extremely ugly, as if his lie had been exposed.

Seeing this, Liu Yingmei on the side could not help but sigh softly, then waved to her sisters and said softly:

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, you go back first. I'll have a private chat with Captain Hua and be back soon."

The actress nodded in understanding and replied:

"Okay, then you have to have a good chat with your Chinese leader. I'm still looking forward to eating your wedding candy!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

After sending her little friend away, Liu Yingmei slowly turned around, with a faint smile on her beautiful face.

Her big, watery eyes were gazing at Hua Shilei in front of her with affection and tenderness, and she said softly:

"Look at you, why are you so excited? As the saying goes, 'The clear will remain clear, and the turbid will remain turbid.' We have acted uprightly and have nothing to fear from false rumors and malicious speculation.

You really don't need to get so angry because of other people's misunderstandings! You shouldn't use other people's mistakes to torture and punish yourself, right?

After hearing these words, Hua Shilei remained silent, as if he was chewing on the profound meaning of them in his heart.

After a long while, the rage burning in his heart gradually subsided, replaced by a trace of helplessness and deep self-blame.

He sighed deeply, then spoke with a hint of guilt:

"Alas, it's all my fault for being too impulsive and reckless. I didn't even investigate the truth beforehand, and I rushed over to question you. But... these rumors flying around aren't a good thing after all. In my opinion, we should quickly come up with a foolproof plan to clear things up!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yingmei nodded slightly to show her agreement.
