After she finished speaking, she ran away. When she passed Zhou Lie's bed, she whispered, "I'll wait for you in the corridor."

She spoke very quietly, but everyone in the room was a soldier, and their hearing was much more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

Zhang Liang and the others all looked at Zhou Lie, and Zhou Lie's face turned red.

He stood up, straightened his hospital gown, brushed off the non-existent dust, coughed lightly, and quickly walked out of the ward.

"Yo yo yo~" Zou Feng cheered behind him.

Song Yiyuan also laughed: "I went home for lunch at noon and told Xiaomei that Zhou Lie had something to do with him. See, this is an effective assist. What you guys did was just nonsense."

The other three gave thumbs up, thinking that their team leader's move was brilliant.

In the corridor, Xiaomei stood by the window holding a net bag. She was afraid that Zhang Liang would chase her out, so she walked a little further outside.

If Zhang Liang came out, she would run away immediately.

Someone came out of the ward, and when she saw it was Zhou Lie, she immediately felt relieved.

Zhou Lie walked in quickly, his eyes fixed on Xiaomei. They both asked at the same time: "You looking for me?"

Zhou Lie: “?”

Xiaomei: “?”

Xiaomei looked at Zhou Lie's expression and asked, "Didn't you ask your brother-in-law to tell me that someone was looking for me?"

Zhou Lie's brows knitted together, then immediately relaxed. He quickly replied, "I...let it go. I let it go."

Xiaomei looked at him suspiciously: "You used to speak very fluently, why are you stuttering today? Can your disease really make people stutter?"

Zhou Lie shook his head.

Xiaomei then asked, "What do you want from me?" She was extremely surprised.

Zhou Lie scratched his head, suddenly not knowing what to say. His brain cells were working rapidly, trying to find a suitable excuse.

After a while, he asked, "Do you have a partner?"

Xiaomei widened her eyes: "You want to introduce someone to me too?" She looked at Zhou Lie for a long time and didn't want to speak, so she suspected that Zhou Lie wanted to introduce someone to her too.

Zhou Lie's face turned redder.

Seeing him like this, Xiaomei felt that her guess was correct, so she immediately opened up and said, "I don't have a partner, but I broke off my engagement back home. I was afraid of being laughed at by the villagers, so I came to live in the army for a while. I'll be back home soon."

When Zhou Lie heard that she was leaving soon, he didn't know how to start the conversation, and the words he dared not say came out of his mouth.

"Xiaomei, I don't want to introduce you to someone, I want to be with you."

"Xiaomei, I like you."

The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice someone approaching from behind.

Xiuhong and Zhang Xiaoli came arm in arm to deliver food. They saw Xiaomei and Zhou Lie talking in the corridor and wanted to go over to say hello. Unexpectedly, when they were still a few steps away, they heard Zhou Lie say this sentence.

The two men neither advanced nor retreated, so they just stood there.

After Zhou Lie finished speaking, he let out a breath, looked up and saw Xiuhong and Zhang Xiaoli, his face was red as if blood was about to drip out.

Xiaomei followed his gaze and turned to see Xiuhong and Zhang Xiaoli. She was also stunned.

Xiuhong laughed awkwardly: "I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything, you guys continue..."

She pulled Zhang Xiaoli and ran into the ward in two steps.
