"Your comrade is very experienced. Okay, eat up, it'll get cold soon. Eat more, we didn't bring any lunch boxes, we can't waste food."
"Yes, you eat too, let's all eat more."
Hao Mei knew that they had a lot of training and big appetites, so all this food had to be eaten and couldn't be wasted.
On their first meal together, thanks to Lin Tao's ingenious actions, both of them ate until they were stuffed. As they walked out of the state-run restaurant, they unconsciously burped, looked at each other, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Tao suppressed his excitement and watched Hao Mei walk into the dormitory. He turned and ran back; he wanted to shout, he wanted to jump for joy. He was so happy. Hao Mei agreeing to go to the movies with him meant she agreed to date him.
Lin Tao shouted in his heart, "I have a girlfriend!"
