Liu Manman forcefully took Feng Yidong's hand in hers. "Why don't we report our relationship to our superiors? Then we can hold hands openly from now on."
"So fast?"
"You've already agreed to be my girlfriend, shouldn't you have given me a heads-up?"
Feng Yidong thought for a moment, "Give me two more days to consider it. Once I've made up my mind, we'll submit the report."
"Okay, you said it yourself, just two days. I believe you'll submit our relationship report with me in two days. Then, in another six months, we can apply for marriage, and then..."
"Don't talk about so much, let's finalize the relationship report first."
"Okay, I'll definitely get good news in two days."
Not far behind them was another person.
Jiang Yue was just leaving her cousin Zhang's house when she overheard Feng Yidong and Liu Manman's conversation. She learned that Feng Yidong had started dating Liu Manman and that they were about to submit a report to their superiors about their relationship. She wondered if they would get married soon.
Although she felt a deep sadness upon hearing the news, she still silently wished the two of them well.
She fell in love with Feng Yidong no later than Liu Manman. Back then, Feng Yidong and others were sent to fight on the border. They went to the front line to perform for the troops. At that time, it was raining heavily, and a mudslide occurred on the mountain. She was almost swept away by the mudslide. At the critical moment, it was Feng Yidong, whose arm was injured and in a cast, who saved her. Later, they met a few more times, and she found that her feelings for him were different. She seemed to have fallen in love with him.
But she didn't know if Feng Yidong had any feelings for her, and she didn't dare to test or ask him rashly.
When he finally mustered up the courage to test him, he found that Liu Manman was already beside him.
She was steeped in traditional values and ultimately lacked the boldness of Liu Manman, who could pursue Feng Yidong without any reservations.
Liu Manman and she were both in the performing arts troupe and were very good friends. Liu Manman had mentioned Feng Yidong to her many times in private, saying that Feng Yidong was interested in her and that they were developing a romantic relationship.
Therefore, she completely gave up the idea of pursuing Feng Yidong.
She deliberately stopped and waited until the two had walked away before continuing.
But Liu Manman spotted her. Liu Manman walked back and, seeing that it was her, immediately told her, "Yueyue, I have good news for you. Comrade Feng Yidong and I have started dating. We'll submit our relationship report in a couple of days, and the next one will be our marriage report."
Jiang Yue felt a pang of pain in her heart. Even though she already knew the truth, she still couldn't help but feel very sad.
He forced a smile and said, "That's wonderful. I wish you and Comrade Feng Yidong all the best in advance."
"Thank you, Yueyue."
Feng Yidong walked over and greeted her: "Comrade Jiang Yue, you've come to visit your cousin."
"Um."
"That's perfect. You can accompany Comrade Liu Manman back to the dormitory. I'll be going now."
"good."
Liu Manman was a little reluctant to part with Feng Yidong, but after Feng Yidong finished speaking, he turned around and strode away, so she had no choice but to return to the cultural troupe's dormitory with Jiang Yue.
Today, after Lin Sisi and Gu's mother returned, Gu's mother didn't do any chores even though it was almost dinner time. She even made it clear that Lin Sisi should cook.
She thought that Gu's mother would take care of her when she came over, but she didn't expect that she would have to take care of her instead.
She harbored many grievances, but in order to please Gu's mother, she obediently went into the kitchen.
After the meal, she cleared the table and washed the dishes; Gu's mother did nothing.
Forget it, she decided not to argue with Gu's mother. After all, she had offended her today.
Not long after they finished eating, a guest arrived at their home. The visitor's relationship with Gu Mingzhou was almost the same as that between Feng Yidong and Lu Zhengting. He was a company commander under Gu Mingzhou, and his name was Zheng Jianming.
He is five years older than Gu Mingzhou and is already twenty-eight this year.
He joined the army four years earlier than Gu Mingzhou. When Gu Mingzhou joined the army, he was already a platoon leader.
He didn't think Gu Mingzhou had anything special about him, but Gu Mingzhou's promotion path was smooth sailing, leaving everyone else in the dust. In just three years, he reached the same rank as him, and then rose rapidly until he became the deputy battalion commander.
In the entire army, the only person who could match Gu Mingzhou's promotion speed was Lu Zhengting.
But everyone knows that Lu Zhengting is genuinely capable, and his rapid promotion is well-deserved.
Some even felt that Lu Zhengting's current position was not worthy of the military achievements he had made, and that if Lu Zhengting were not so young, only in his early twenties, it would not be unreasonable for him to be a regimental commander.
He was very resentful after Gu Mingzhou quickly became his superior, but he had no way to bring Gu Mingzhou down.
Gradually, he realized that there must be a powerful figure behind Gu Mingzhou, secretly supporting him all the way, which is why Gu Mingzhou was able to have such a smooth career.
He knew that with his meager strength, he couldn't possibly touch Gu Mingzhou. Even if he did manage to bring Gu Mingzhou down, with no background and only average strength, it wouldn't benefit him much and he might even face retaliation from the person behind the scenes.
So he decided not to oppose Gu Mingzhou, but instead to please Gu Mingzhou and find a way to utilize the resources behind him.
