After lunch.
There is warm sunshine above my head.
The two walked side by side on the small path beside the street.
Ruan Xiaotang pulled the strap of her white shoulder bag with a shy look on her face.
She squinted her eyes and cautiously glanced at the profile of the man next to her.
He is handsome and energetic.
He is tall and strong, sturdy and powerful.
With my height of 165cm, I look like a petite bird standing next to her.
Noticing that he was about to turn his head, she quickly withdrew her gaze and pretended to look forward.
I prayed in my heart that he didn’t notice, he didn’t notice!
"Can I call you Xiaotang?"
Whether you agree or not, you have just spoken out on your own initiative.
Ruan Xiaotang pouted her red lips and whispered a word through her nose, "Hmm."
This sticky sound is like a cat acting coquettishly beside your legs, which makes people feel itchy and unbearable.
He bravely raised his arm and wanted to hold the girl's hand.
When I lifted it halfway into the air, I felt something was wrong.
"Xiaotang, what do you think of me?"
Zhou Xingze suddenly stopped, turned sideways, faced the girl, and asked seriously.
He looked very serious, as if this was a very important question that required a very serious answer.
The girl opposite had a rosy face and was looking at her toes in panic.
I just didn't dare to raise my head and look him in the eye.
The girl's long silence made Zhou Xingze feel extremely tormented.
There was an uncontrollable urge in my heart, wanting to get a positive answer from her urgently.
Take action without thinking.
He tightly gripped the girl's delicate shoulders with his palms, and asked again with a slightly anxious voice, "What do you think of me? Am I suitable to be your husband? No, am I suitable as your partner?"
Zhou Xingze bent down and met her eyes with a determined look.
This kind of behavior is absolutely out of line, even extremely rude, in this conservative era.
But in the eyes of Ruan Xiaotang, a traveler to this new world.
He couldn't wait to express his love, and it even seemed a bit forced.
It's so cool.
Ruan Xiaotang's shoulders were pinched by him without knowing how hard they were being squeezed, causing her great pain.
He opened his big wet eyes, not sure if he was scared or pinched.
The helpless little look makes people feel pity for him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I just..."
It is not appropriate for men and women to touch each other, he shouldn't be so rude.
I felt extremely upset.
With his ears red, he turned his head away quickly.
Ruan Xiaotang saw his innocence and cuteness clearly.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Don’t respond, just ask, “Do you like me?”
Zhou Xingze was very surprised that she would be so direct.
Without the slightest hesitation, "I like you."
"Then let's try it out. If we feel that we are suitable for each other, we can be together. If not, we can go back to our own homes and find our own mothers. How do you think?"
"It's a deal."
Zhou Xingze looked at Ruan Xiaotang in front of him in surprise. He was surprised that she, who looked so gentle and lovely, could say such shocking and bold words.
She has advanced ideas, unlike women of this conservative era.
I couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
"Where do you live? I'll take you home, okay?"
Ruan Xiaotang wanted to reject it outright. After all, she was born and raised in the countryside. Her father had passed away, and the family of three depended on each other and could barely make ends meet.
Men always say that they don’t care about the woman’s family conditions.
If he really saw with his own eyes how impoverished her family was, he would have many concerns and would not be as indifferent as he said.
Caring is certain.
The result was just as expected. Ruan Xiaotang would turn around and leave without hesitation, and would never hold on to him like a straw that could change her fate.
This time, just treat it as a test for him.
"My family lives in the countryside, and it takes nearly four hours to get to the city by ox cart. The road back is not flat, but rather bumpy. You, a child who grew up in the city, can endure such hardships."
"I'm a soldier. I've endured all kinds of hardships. You have to believe in my intention to send you home. I'll go to the army to borrow a car and make sure I can get you home safely before dark."
Zhou Xingze can't tolerate anyone questioning his character, especially when the other person is a girl he falls in love with at first sight.
The head can be cut off and blood can be shed, but the chain must not fall off in front of the object.
……………………
"Comrades, comrades, this is huge news, this is huge news!"
The voice arrives before the person appears.
In the corridor on the first floor, a rapid shouting sound came from far away and broke into the dormitory 108.
"Bang"
He kicked the tightly closed door open.
"Are you bored? You dare to destroy the army's property. Be careful that Political Commissar Xu will come to talk to you in the middle of the night."
In the dormitory, Zhao Weiguo and Xiao Jian were playing chess eagerly. Both sides were at a critical moment where it was either life or death.
Just one step can determine the outcome.
The good thing was ruined by that grandson who had his butt burned.
Xiao Jian glared at his grandson who came in with a bad temper, threatening and intimidating him with words.
Having their interest disturbed, the two of them had no mood to continue.
Zhao Weiguo exchanged glances with Xiao Jian opposite him.
The two men jumped up at the same time, as if to vent their anger. One of them raised an arm and dragged Sun Ming into the house.
"Hey, good brothers, don't be angry, I have great news, I guarantee you will be interested."
Seeing that the situation was not favorable to him, Sun Ming quickly used his ultimate move to divert attention.
"Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us now. If it's not great news, you'll have to wash our socks for a week straight. If you don't agree, you can forget about leaving the house."
"What Weiguo said makes sense. If you dare to resist, we will add another week."
"Our leader has a girlfriend!"
The room suddenly became quiet.
There are three of us, you look at me and I look at you.
It's a little hard to believe.
It took me a long time to come back to my senses.
Xiao Jian questioned, sitting on the bed, talking to himself, "Our group leader has always been very cold towards women. He even rejected a beauty like Che Lili from the Propaganda Department in person. It's hard for me to imagine what kind of woman he would be attracted to."
Zhao Weiguo said in confusion, "Didn't the captain go on a blind date this morning? It's settled so quickly! Could it be that the other party is a fairy?"
Sun Ming said with certainty, "I heard it with my own ears. Our regiment commander rushed to Chief of Staff Jiang's office and asked to borrow the army's car to send her boyfriend home."
It’s so luxurious to just have a partner.
Unlike his usual low-key style.
Xiao Jian asked, "Chief of Staff, approved."
Sun Ming replied, "Yes."
Zhao Weiguo keenly sensed that this girl must be someone important, and asked anxiously, "Whose daughter is our leader dating?"
"I don't know. That's all I heard. When my fellow guards came to relieve me, I left."
