Who should I call?

"I...I have a girlfriend. This mission came up suddenly, and we agreed to contact each other every two weeks, but it's been a month since we last spoke. She'll be worried. Could you call her for me and tell her I've gone on a mission so she won't worry?"

"......"

Have you started dating someone?

Given Bai Shibao's previous behavior, Bai Jiaojiao was on high alert upon hearing this.

"What does she do? Where is she from? How do you two know each other?"

Bai Jiaojiao kept asking questions, and Bai Shibao was so embarrassed that he didn't speak for a long time:

“She’s from our neighborhood. When I enlisted, my older brother and I rescued her on the road. We even stayed at her house that night. I thought we’d never see her again, but then we had our physical exams done at her hospital on the island, and we met her again. It felt like fate, so I asked for her address.”

Bai Jiaojiao had heard about how Bai Shibao and Bai Shihai scared away a thug in the county town, but she had almost forgotten about it.

It's truly a coincidence. Bai Jiaojiao thought to herself that since Bai Shihai had met her, she should call him and ask how the girl was doing.

If she's really a good girl, her sister-in-law will be much more at ease.

In order to find a partner for Bai Shibao, Deng Min wanted to turn the entire town upside down.

"Can you help me?" Bai Shibao asked again when Bai Jiaojiao didn't speak.

"I have no problem with it, but people will definitely have doubts when they hear that it's a woman making the call."

"We also have female comrades in our unit."

"You must have asked someone close to you to handle something so private. If your partner thinks you have a female friend in the military, you're in for a world of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shibao realized that his sister was right.

"What should I do? I don't know anyone else here."

"When I leave, I'll go down to the phone booth and see if anyone nearby is willing to help. If not, I'll go back to school and ask a classmate for help. It's just a matter of passing on a message."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Just don't let her know I'm injured, so she won't worry."

Bai Jiaojiao saw through him; Bai Shibao was not only dim-witted, but also obsessed with love, as could be seen from his relationship with Wang Qiumei.
