After dinner, Chen Qingyin wanted to go back to the factory but was stopped by Zhou Meiying.

"It's so late, just sleep here."

Chen Qingyin had often stayed overnight at Zhou Meiying's place before, so she accepted the offer without much hesitation.

As usual, Zhou Meiying let her sleep in Shi Xiaoshan's room.

Shi Xiaojun lives next door.

There was only a wall between them.

It seemed that he could even hear Qingyin's breathing.

Shi Xiaojun kept his eyes open until dawn, when he finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

As a result, he had not fallen asleep for long when he was woken up by Zhou Meiying.

"Don't sleep yet, get up, mom wants to talk to you."

"Mom, I'm sleepy. I haven't slept all night..." Shi Xiaojun yawned, dazed.

"Why? Qingyin lives next door. Are you so nervous that you can't sleep?"

Shi Xiaojun suddenly came to his senses and stared at his mother, "I, I didn't... I didn't..."

"Tsk, stop pretending. I've been through this before." Zhou Meiying rolled her eyes.

Shi Xiaojun felt sweat on his scalp and he rash his hair in annoyance.

"Let me ask you, do you really like Qingyin and want to marry her?"

Zhou Meiying's sudden words left Shi Xiaojun stunned.

Like clean sound? Want to marry her?

Shi Xiaojun's mind was blank for a few seconds, and then before he could react, his head nodded automatically.

Then, Shi Xiaojun's eyes became clear and he nodded heavily again.

I've experienced everything in my dream, how can I not marry her? Isn't that just being a hooligan?

"I knew you were such a good girl..." Zhou Meiqi sighed. "Originally, I really like Qingyin. If you could marry her, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. But now the situation has changed. She couldn't even pass the college entrance examination, but she can pass the entrance examination to marry you?"

Shi Xiaojun immediately sat up from the bed, "What? You want to break us up?"

Zhou Mei slapped him in annoyance, "Are you two a couple? I'm going to break you up? You useless thing, Qingyin doesn't even know that you like her, right?"

Shi Xiaojun lowered his head, "Probably... probably... I don't know..."

Zhou Meiqi scolded him again and said, "What your father and I mean is that you have to think about your future first before deciding whether to pursue Qingyin. Otherwise, if you provoke her and she is unwilling to make sacrifices for you in the future, wouldn't that be a disaster for her?"

Shi Xiaojun also understood what Zhou Meiqi wanted to express and fell into deep thought.

Zhou Meiqi sighed, "Your father is getting old, and his personality is not as overbearing as when he was young. He said that if you want to leave the army, he supports you. At worst, he will shamelessly find you a good job."

Shi Xiaojun was surprised, "Is Dad so open-minded and considerate?"

Zhou Meizhen glared at his son and said, "No matter what your father is like, he just wants you kids to have a good life."

After a pause, Zhou Meiying continued, "This matter depends mainly on you. If you want to marry Qingyin, you have to give up everything you have worked hard for over the years."

Shi Xiaojun is a man of quick mind, daring to fight and work hard. In his five years in the army, he has won three third-class honors and one second-class honor. Two years ago, he was promoted to platoon leader.

With Shi Weiguang's protection, Shi Xiaojun's future in the army will be smooth unless there are any unexpected events.

Giving up will definitely be a pity.

"Think about this matter carefully and make a decision after you have considered it clearly." Zhou Meiying stood up, patted Shi Xiaojun on the shoulder, and walked out.
