Chapter 688: You Niannian (Two chapters combined)

After saying that, he took off his military cap, fiddled with his short hair a couple of times, and sat down next to Gu Yin.

Seeing the other person sit down, Gu Yin's eyes lit up: "Sister, you're so cool!"

Without the brim of her hat to cover her face, her originally cool and aloof features gained a touch of handsomeness and heroism, making her a true queen!

Upon hearing this, You Niannian put her hand on Gu Yin's back and said with a roguish smile, "This fairy sister has good taste! Does the sister have a boyfriend yet? How about considering your older sister?"

Lan Yan, who had just sat down opposite, frowned: "She has a boyfriend."

You Niannian looked at him, raised her eyebrows, and said, "What's so good about that stinky man? Fairy Sister smells so good, she should be with us!" After saying that, she leaned close to Gu Yin's shoulder and took a deep breath.

Gu Yin couldn't help but laugh. You Niannian has such a good personality!

Blue Flame was speechless: "Watch your clothes."

Upon hearing this, You Niannian sat up straight and stopped acting recklessly. She looked at Lan Yan seriously and said, "I am You Niannian, I am 30 years old this year, and I am a special forces soldier from the Beijing Military Region. I was introduced by Madam Yang."

Lan Yan nodded upon hearing this and said seriously, "I am Lan Yan, I am 36 years old this year, and I am also from the Beijing Military Region. You are from the special forces? How come I don't know you?" He used to be an instructor in the special forces, where there were many female soldiers, but he had never seen You Niannian before.

You Niannian raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "I used to be in the Western Military Region. This year they were selecting new recruits, and I passed the selection, so I was transferred back. I know you, Blue Yama."

If she hadn't heard about the other person's story and been curious about them, she wouldn't have agreed to Aunt Yang's arrangement, and she wouldn't have come even if she wasn't getting married.

Lan Yan said admiringly, "The soldiers who came from over there are all very capable." This time, he recruited soldiers in the southwest, while others went to the west. After returning, he went to conduct military exercises. These newly arrived special forces reserve soldiers are currently being trained by others. When his leave ends, he should go back to give these people special training. However, he did not tell You Niannian about this.

Seeing that they were exchanging blows and that Lan Yan had lost his initial impatience, Gu Yin suddenly became quite thoughtful. This seemed promising!

You Niannian glanced at You Niannian, who had been keeping her head down and silent since she arrived, picked up her chopsticks and looked at Gu Yin: "Eat quickly, or you won't be able to eat later! Hurry up!"

After saying that, he quickly put some food on Gu Yin's plate and then started eating himself.

Seeing this, Lan Yan glanced at the dishes on the table and asked, "Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll order for you." Most of the dishes on this table were ordered by You Niannian. Today's protagonist has made a mistake, so shouldn't the dishes be changed?

You Niannian shook her head: "No need! This is enough! Eat quickly!" After saying that, she picked up the serving chopsticks and put some food on Gu Yin's plate.

Seeing this, Gu Yin explained her identity while eating: "I am Lan Yan's sister."

You Niannian was surprised to hear this and looked at Lan Yan: "Didn't you say you were an orphan? Where did you get such a beautiful fairy sister? You're a grown man, what's wrong with you?"

Lan Yan laughed: "If I'm not worthy, then are you? Even if you are, there's nothing I can do about it. She's my sister!"

Gu Yin interjected, "We're godparents, Sister You. If you two get together, I'll be your sister too."

Upon hearing this, You Niannian reached out and pinched Gu Yin's tender face, smiling, "Little one, don't worry about these things. Eat quickly, or it will be too late."

I don’t know what she meant by “too late”, but it must be related to You Niannian across from her. Gu Yin sped up her eating, as did Lan Yan. Several of the dishes here were made by Aunt Zhu, and he would feel bad if he couldn’t eat them!

At the dinner table, seeing You Niannian eating faster and faster, while also serving food to Gu Yin, Lan Yan also picked up her pace. Gu Yin ate normally, while You Niannian across from them remained silent, head down, playing on her phone and not eating.

When we were about six-tenths full, the door to the private room was knocked open.

You Niannian put down her chopsticks and sighed, "It's such a pity that we can't eat such delicious food."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yin looked towards the door. The waiter said somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Lan, Ms. Zhou, there are two people here. They said they were guests in this private room, but we received a notification from the boss that there is no such person on their list. The boss is not here. The two of them were making a scene in the lobby, causing trouble and insisting on coming this way. They seem to be in a hurry and it looks like something has happened. There are important guests in other private rooms, and to avoid disturbing them, I had no choice but to bring them here. Here you go."

"Hey, how can you talk like that? What do you mean by being unreasonable? We just asked you to show us the way, and you keep making excuses! What kind of attitude is this? I'm going to complain to your boss about you!" One of the people who came in, an elegantly dressed lady, pointed at the waiter and started lecturing him!

Gu Yin frowned and looked at the waiter: "There's nothing here, you can go down now."

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, bowed deeply, and then quickly left.

"What kind of manners are these!" The woman dressed in a wealthy style snorted, then turned to look into the house and immediately jogged over to You Niannian: "Niannian, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Tell Mom, are you okay?"

The man following behind also quickly walked up, not saying a word, but his eyes were full of anxiety.

You Niannian pressed her chest and shook her head: "It's alright now, Dad, Mom, you don't need to worry."

Gu Yin looked at You Niannian and saw that there was no extra emotion in her eyes. Instead, she looked like she was watching a play, with the corners of her mouth turned up.

You Niannian turned her head and saw Gu Yin looking at her. She smiled and reached out to rub her head: "Don't worry about me, sister. I don't care. Actually, I'm not familiar with them."

"Niannian! What are you saying! I'm your father!" The middle-aged man looked over and immediately scolded You Niannian.

You Niannian scoffed: "I didn't say you weren't my dad, just an unfamiliar dad. I didn't lie either. Putting everything else aside, tell me, how come she's here at my blind date, and she even arrived before me?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he looked increasingly guilty.

"I also want to know. I remember my blind date was You Niannian. How come there's a You Niannian impersonating her? Are you playing me for a fool? Doesn't your You family owe me an explanation?" Lan Yan crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, looking at them coldly.

The scene fell silent. The middle-aged man glanced at You Niannian, who was silently fiddling with her fingers. He then looked at Lan Yan and smiled, "Commander Lan, I'm You Cen from the Southern Military Region. I'm neighbors with Staff Officer Yang. The other day, Mrs. Yang came to our house and talked about you. My daughter overheard it. She's always admired soldiers, and you're so capable, so she's taken a liking to you. Mrs. Yang didn't say which of my daughters should come. Niannian is always away and has been busy lately, so she's never been interested in matters of the heart. Niannian admires you and is of marriageable age, so I had her come. I didn't expect Niannian to come along too. I'm sorry to have made you laugh. Our family's intention is that Niannian is the one we're looking at today."

Lan Yan flipped through the mental images of people, but the name You Cen was still unfamiliar to her, indicating that the other party's level was probably not high.

"Mrs. Yang told me it was You Niannian. The other party is a soldier, and she even gave me their phone number." After saying that, she immediately dialed the number, and the phone rang on You Niannian's end.

The slap was swift and brutal, showing no mercy to You Cen whatsoever.

You Niannian hung up on Lan Yan and immediately laughed, "Do you think everyone else is as stupid as you? What era are we living in? Still playing this substitution trick? I don't even want to expose you. Foolish!"

The three men turned pale.

Gu Yin glanced at the table. It was a pity there were no melon seeds. It would be impolite to ask someone to bring them in now, so she decided to leave it at that.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, this wouldn't have happened!" The wealthy woman who had been supporting You Niannian glared at You Niannian.

You Niannian rolled her eyes: "I said, Aunt Lan, your eyesight is still as bad as when you first came to my house as a nanny. Did I ask her to impersonate me?"

"Niannian! How dare you talk like that! That's your mother!" You Cen slammed his hand on the table.

“My mother is dead! While she was still seriously ill in bed, you got involved with this nanny! You have no shame to talk about my mother! Try saying another word about my mother! Even if it costs me my life, I will make sure you don’t leave this house! You don’t believe me? Just try!” You Niannian shouted fiercely.

You Cen pursed his lips. He believed her. How could he not believe her? He had already witnessed her ruthlessness when she was thirteen years old.

"No matter what, she's still your sister. She has a heart condition, while you're healthy. What kind of partner can't you have? Why are you competing with her for her affections?"

Over the past ten years or so, this is the sentence that You Niannian has heard most often.

"I'm tired of hearing you say it, even if you don't get tired of it. Commander Lan isn't stupid, stop embarrassing yourself!"

Lan Yan sneered: "So I'm still a hot commodity? This young lady just said she was a veteran and from a performing arts troupe. Performing arts troupes don't accept people with heart problems. I remember that impersonating a soldier or veteran to swindle people is illegal, Mr. You, what do you say?"

Sweat began to bead on You Cen's forehead. If Lan Yan pursued this matter, You Niannian would likely face imprisonment, and he and his wife might also be in trouble. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

You Nian laughed: "Powerful, influential, and with a high status, no family yet, young, and so handsome, isn't he a hot commodity? So hot that someone broke my phone, so hot that they locked me in a room. Luckily, they didn't lose my SIM card. Luckily, I'm good at fighting, otherwise you would have been dragged into a den of thieves today!"

Lan Yan rolled her eyes: "I'm not stupid."

"Mom, my chest hurts," You Niannian whispered, clutching her chest.

The couple immediately panicked and helped You Niannian flee in panic.

After everyone left, You Niannian slumped her shoulders and sighed weakly, "I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing, Commander Lan, I apologize."

I apologize for all the farces that happened today.

Gu Yin poured her a cup of tea: "You didn't do anything wrong, no need to apologize, you're very cool!"

Blue Flame scoffed, "At least you didn't embarrass our special forces. Want some food?"

You Niannian glanced at the time and shook her head: "I'm not eating anymore. I have to go back to training. I'm very sorry about what happened today. I'll explain to Aunt Yang when I get back that it was my fault. Commander Lan, you don't need to worry." Knowing that the other person had also been urged to come, You Niannian took the blame herself.

Lan Yan stood up: "Train hard, you don't need to worry about anything else. I'll talk to Madam Yang. Alright, let's go."

Gu Yin: "...No, brother, why didn't you ask me if I still wanted to eat?" Aren't you a little forgetting about your own sister when you see a pretty girl?

Blue Flame blinked: "Weren't you full?"

Gu Yin: "...I usually eat two bowls of rice at home, but I only ate one today. Haha, men!"

Lan Yan felt a little embarrassed when she saw You Niannian smiling: "Didn't you say you wanted to lose weight? I'm just trying not to discourage you from your determination!"

"An explanation is just a cover-up! Men, I know you all now! Sister You, if my brother pursues you, don't let him get away easily! Let's go! I'll take you home!"

You Niannian glanced at Lan Yan and, seeing that he was also looking at her, felt a little embarrassed and turned to leave with Gu Yin.

Gu Yin picked up a lunchbox from the front desk. You Niannian came by car, and since Qingda University was on its way to the military base, she got in the car with her. Lan Yan first dropped Gu Yin off at Qingda University. Once there, the three of them got out of the car. After Gu Yin went inside, Lan Yan looked at You Niannian and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you back to the military base."

You Niannian shook her head: "Aren't you on vacation? No need, I can go back by myself. I'll take the logistics car back later, no need to trouble you."

Lan Yan got into the car and looked at You Niannian: "I'm going back to get a document. Let's go, don't waste time, the sooner we get back, the sooner we can train."

Seeing this, You Niannian no longer refused and got into the passenger seat.

If Gu Yin heard what Lan Yan said, she would definitely laugh it off!

When Gu Yin came home from school in the evening, she saw Lan Yan sitting in the pavilion with a document in his hand. She went over curiously and asked, "What are you looking at so intently? It's almost dark. How was your day? Did you take Nian Nian home?"

Lan Yan remained silent and handed the document to Gu Yin.

Gu Yin took it with a puzzled look, and after reading the information on it, her eyes widened in shock: "Wow, Sister Niannian was just like me when I was a kid! That ruthlessness! I love it! But she's really had a tough time!"
