“Yes, she’s my older sister.” Feng Mingyu replied, puffing out his chest, his eyes darting around as he looked Zhai Qingping in her white military uniform, his gaze revealing affection, but he held it in with a touch of pride.

When Zhai Qingping heard that the little boy was Feng Mingshu's younger brother, he felt even more affection for him. He habitually reached out and ruffled the little boy's hair, just like he would a nephew: "Is your sister home?"

Little did he know, Feng Mingyu hated it when people treated him like a child and stroked his hair, except for his family. The little boy dodged his hand and said angrily, "My sister isn't home, so get out of here!"

After saying that, he was about to close the courtyard gate when Zhai Qingping quickly reached out and stopped it, asking, "When will your sister be back?"

"I have no idea!"

"Then I'll wait outside. Please tell your sister that my surname is Zhai, and we met at the social dance yesterday." Zhai Qingping finished speaking, withdrew his hand, and stood straight outside the courtyard gate.

He suspected that Feng Mingshu was at home, but he couldn't get past his brother-in-law, so he had to retreat and wait outside.

Unfortunately, the brother-in-law had a really bad temper. He slammed the courtyard gate shut, and then his muttering could be heard from inside: "They're all bad people trying to trick my sister away. I'm not letting you in."

Zhai Qingping: "..."

"Brother, who's that outside?"

“That bad guy who tries to fool children, I've locked the door, he can't get in.”

Zhai Qingping: "..."

Hearing this, Zhai Qingping believed that Feng Mingshu was really not at home, but he didn't know where to look for Feng Mingshu, so he could only stand at the gate of the courtyard as a doorman for the time being.

However, the doorman's military uniform was quite eye-catching, and passersby couldn't help but turn around for a second look.

Soon, the news that a handsome soldier was standing in front of the Feng family's house spread throughout the entire street.

Old Mrs. Li also received the news and immediately perked up. She hurried to the Feng family's door, her triangular eyes scrutinizing Zhai Qingping from head to toe, and asked rudely, "Boy, where are you from?"

Zhai Qingping disliked the old woman's gaze, but thinking she must be a neighbor and acquainted with the Feng family, he suppressed his temper and politely said, "I'm from the Maritime Academy, here to see Comrade Feng Mingshu. Do you know where she is now?"

"Ah, you're here to see Miss Feng? Didn't you know she went out with her boyfriend today?"
