The story is set in a fictional world where the protagonist, a modern-day rich girl named Su Qingtci, is mysteriously sent back to the ...
Chapter 301
Su Qingci guessed correctly that the person who delivered the message to Song Jingzhou was indeed Shang Yuping.
The next day, Shang Yuping started dressing up at noon, wiping her face and combing her hair.
The whole dormitory was filled with fragrance from the vanishing cream.
"Yuping, what are you doing? And why do you want to switch shifts with me?" Guo Rong asked curiously.
Shang Yuping glanced at Su Qingci intentionally or unintentionally, "Let's go to my brother-in-law's house for dinner!"
Yang Hongmei asked in confusion, "Deputy Captain Zhou asked you to go several times before, saying he would introduce you to someone, but you refused to go, didn't you?"
Shang Yuping smiled slightly, "Before was before, now is now!"
"I think if you meet someone you like, you should give it a try no matter what. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, Comrade Su, don't you agree?"
Su Qingci gave a fake smile in return. "Your courage is commendable, but it depends on the situation. If you act unilaterally, you might even cause trouble for others!"
Shang Yuping's eyes flashed with pride, and she stroked her naturally curly hair. "If it were someone else, this might be really troublesome, but for me~"
"Perhaps the other party considers it an honor?"
Su Qingci's mouth twitched. "Then go ahead and give it a try. After all, you're so good-looking. But a man who doesn't respect himself is like rotten cabbage. If a man has no sense of propriety and is fickle, he's no different from stinking manure. Whoever wants such a man can take him away... Hehe!"
Su Qingci's unconcealed expression made Shang Yuping full of annoyance, "You~"
Guo Rong, who was standing nearby, noticed the atmosphere was getting tense and quickly changed the subject. "Yuping, your hair is so beautiful! It's black, thick, and naturally curly, just like the star on the poster..."
In the evening, Song Jingzhou came to Zhou Long's home in the staff housing compound as agreed.
Zhou Long received him warmly, and several of his former brothers were also present.
Song Jingzhou cheered himself up and dealt with it. Before, when they were at the grassroots level, their iron-clad friendship was the purest, and Zhou Long had indeed helped him a lot, but now, it was hard to say.
The conflicts between factions in the army were even more intense than those outside. His current position was very sensitive. Not to mention being a deputy regimental commander, even non-commissioned officers of a few higher ranks wanted to get involved.
It can be said that tonight's meal is very likely to be the Hongmen Banquet, and if he is not careful, he may even become the stepping stone for Zhou Long to move up.
"Xiao Song, when did you come back? If Xiao Yu hadn't met you in the army, the brothers wouldn't have known you were back!"
Another person also interjected enthusiastically, "That's right, Captain. You came back but you didn't go back to the camp to see your brothers. It's a shame that everyone still misses you!"
When Song Jingzhou was demobilized, he had been promoted to company commander. At this time, there were two soldiers at the table who were still soldiers he had trained at that time.
Because of his good relationship with Song Jingzhou, Zhou Long also called him over.
The two sisters, Shang Yuna and Shang Yuping, were busy coming in and out, bringing dishes to the table.
Zhou Long looked at his sister-in-law, smiled and joked to Song Jingzhou, "When you were suddenly demobilized, Xiaoyu was heartbroken for a long time."
Another soldier named Erpang said sarcastically, "That's right. Brother Zhou asked Comrade Shang to come back for dinner several times before, but he refused to come. Look at you, this time you came back and took the initiative to come and help."
Erpang was a battalion commander under Zhou Long. He surrendered to Zhou Long and asked Zhou Long to introduce Shang Yuping to him, but he didn't expect that the other party would not give him face and didn't even come.
The other two soldiers looked meaningful and quickly changed the subject, inviting Song Jingzhou to drink.
They all knew that Shang Yuping was the one Zhou Long used to win over people. Female soldiers were popular in the military camp, and few people disliked beautiful female soldiers, not to mention that 80% of the soldiers in the military camp were bachelors.
Zhou Long has already helped many people connect this year. Regardless of success or failure, everyone owes him a favor.
But this time, Shang Yuping is willing to show up, it seems there is hope...
On the other side, Shang Yuping listened to everyone's discussions without refuting them, but just lowered her head shyly.
Song Jingzhou waved his hands quickly, "Brother Zhou, please stop joking. It's okay for me, but I don't want to ruin the girl's reputation."
Zhou Long's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Why, could it be that you have already started a family in the past few years?"
Song Jingzhou smiled and said, "I haven't started a family yet, but I have someone I want to marry!"
Zhou Long poured Song Jingzhou more wine and joked, "What girl can compare to our Xiaoyu?"
Shang Yuping pretended to be angry and stamped her feet, "Brother-in-law, you are joking and I am getting angry."
"Hahahaha, no more talking, come on, come on, eat, eat, eat."
Song Jingzhou quickly declined, "Brother Zhou, that's enough. I have to go back to the barracks later. Everyone knows the rules of this team. I'll just have a couple of drinks to keep the brothers entertained."
Everyone in the group had their own thoughts and practiced Tai Chi while eating.
Seeing that Song Jingzhou was unmoved, Zhou Long's smile faded a lot.
When Song Jingzhou was about to leave, he asked Song Jingzhou to send Shang Yuping back.
"It's late at night, and it's unsafe for a girl. I'm just passing by. I'm sorry to bother you, brother."
It was indeed something that happened along the way, and Song Jingzhou couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and agree.
Along the way, Song Jingzhou walked very fast and Shang Yuping chased after him.
"Brother Song, Brother Song, please walk slower. I can't catch up with you."
Song Jingzhou said politely, "I'm sorry, Comrade Shang, please try to walk faster. I have something else to do when I get back!"
Shang Yuping thought that the two of them could walk back slowly under the moon and flowers. Then she would come over shyly and carefully to express her longing for him for so many years. If the atmosphere was right, maybe they could even go a step further.
Unexpectedly, Song Jingzhou was like a wooden stake, showing no mercy to her at all. She almost ran away in a panic.
When they reached the fork in the road, Song Jingzhou said even more evasively, "Comrade Shang, I won't take you in. It would be bad if others saw you. The lights are on now, so go in by yourself."
After saying this, without waiting for Shang Yuping's response, Song Jingzhou turned around and ran away.
If the little guy saw this, he would beat him to death.
Shang Yuping looked at the other person's back, which looked like he was being chased by a dog. He wiped the sweat from his forehead in anger and was shaking with anger.
All along, it was others who were courting her, and this was the first time she had put down her pride and taken the initiative, and the result...
When she returned to the dormitory, she couldn't help but vent her anger on Su Qingci. Su Qingci understood what was going on after hearing her sour words and treated her as if she was farting.
Zhou Long did not give up his idea. Whenever he had the chance, he would ask Shang Yuping to pass messages to Song Jingliang, and he would bring his sister-in-law with him when he went to see him.
