Are soldiers this gossipy too?

“I’m not a gigolo. Last time I was selling Yuanxiao (sweet rice balls), Liu Haisheng came to cause trouble, but Comrade Gu happened to see it and helped me out.”

When Gu Zhiyun was mentioned, Jiang Wanpeng simply said "Oh".

"Isn't Comrade Gu an intellectual? He looks so refined, how could he fight?"

Chen Jingyan thought to herself, Gu Zhiyun looks refined and slender, but he is no slouch when it comes to fighting.

On the way back, the truck had only gone less than two miles when it suddenly stalled.

Jiang Wanpeng jumped out of the car to check.

A moment later, Jiang Wanpeng leaned out the window dejectedly, his face covered in a lot of black oil.

"Jingya, the fuel tank is leaking, there's no fuel left."

Chen Jingyan looked around. There was no village in front and no shop behind. The truck breaking down here was indeed a big problem.

"Why don't you stay here and watch the car, and I'll go back to the forest farm to get reinforcements?" she suggested.

Jiang Wanpeng immediately waved his hand and said, "How can that be? How can I let a woman like you go and get reinforcements?"

“Then you’ll have to go. I’ll watch the car,” Chen Jingyan said.

Jiang Wanpeng said with some concern, "Jingya, leaving you alone in this desolate place, I..."

He said calmly with a smile, "Comrade Jiang, it's broad daylight, there's no danger at all! You should go quickly!"

It's almost noon now, and we're still five miles from the forest farm. It will take at least an hour and a half to go there and back.

The days are short now, and it gets dark as early as three or four in the afternoon. If we delay any longer, it will be even more troublesome.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Wanpeng no longer hesitated: "Okay, I'll go back to the forest farm right now! Lock the door and don't open it for anyone!"

Shen Jingyan nodded obediently in agreement.

Jiang Wanpeng had a lot of training in the army, and running five kilometers was a piece of cake for him.

Chen Jingyan sat in the driver's seat, watching Jiang Wanpeng's tall figure drive further and further away.

She sat in the carriage, the midday sun shining lazily in, like a furnace warming her entire body.

Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep leaning against the carriage.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she heard footsteps, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and sat up.

Upon seeing the two people approaching, Shen Jingyan was instantly wide awake.
