Chapter 68: You still call her baby
Not long after arriving at the garrison, Zhao Yue came over. She was overjoyed and jumped up and pounced on Shen Yuzhu when she saw her.
"Ahhh!!!"
"Sister-in-law, you came to see me! You really came to see me! I missed you so much!"
Shen Yuzhu stumbled from Zhao Yue's tackle and quickly tilted the handlebars to the side, afraid of bumping into her, and grabbed Zhao Yue's waist with one hand.
"Yes, yes, I've come to see you. Quickly help me with my things. Your brother has gone on a mission and I don't know when he'll be back. I don't know if I'll even be able to see him on this trip."
"Yes, yes, yes, he'll definitely be back by evening. It's cold, sister-in-law, let's go inside first."
Zhao Yue was overjoyed. Without Shen Yuzhu having to lift a finger, she took the bicycle first. Looking at the two large bags that had been brought over, she grinned from ear to ear.
Shen Yuzhu followed Zhao Yue to register. Since Zhou Congsheng's current residence was inaccessible, they could only go to her dormitory first.
"I'm off today, sister-in-law, have some water. Have you eaten yet? Let's go to the canteen for lunch. The kitchen slaughtered a pig today, so there'll be meat. I'm pretty close with Old Zhang from the cookhouse, so I'll ask him to make us a couple more dishes, hehehe..."
Shen Yuzhu nodded, then took out a jar of eggplant, chili, and preserved egg sauce from her bag and shook it at Zhao Yue.
"Take this with you, it's delicious."
Zhao Yue's eyes lit up. The things she brought back from her sister-in-law last time were so popular that everyone in the dorm scrambled to eat them. Now, just looking at this little bottle of stuff made her feel very hungry.
"Come on, sister-in-law, hurry up! My roommates are coming back soon, and they might try to take it from me!"
This girl has a cheerful personality, and Shen Yuzhu's mood improves whenever she's with her.
The two chatted a lot on their way to the cafeteria. When Shen Yuzhu told them that she had gone to the provincial capital and met someone with a similar personality to her, she immediately became jealous.
With her lips pouting, Shen Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat. She had heard Zhou Congsheng say before that Zhao Yue was a very insecure person. She pretended not to care with her carefree nature, but in fact she cared a lot.
"Alright, alright, I only felt close to her because her personality is so similar to yours. I think if you meet her, you might become good friends with her!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yue immediately glared at her sideways, "You still call her 'baby'?"
"Her name is Ren Baobei."
Zhao Yue: "......."
Are you out of your mind to choose such a name?!
Two people were eating in the cafeteria. One was begging for mercy with her hands clasped together, while the other was pushing her luck and insisting that she agree to be number one in her heart.
The two chatted and joked around, their conversation flowing smoothly. After the food was served, Shen Yuzhu opened the rice seasoning for Zhao Yue, and the aroma wafted out. The little girl's eyes immediately lit up, all her anger vanished, and she kept saying how delicious it was.
"Xiaoyue, you're here! I've been looking for you for ages. Why didn't you call me for dinner? And who is this?"
"Mu Qing, this is my sister-in-law, Shen Yuzhu. Don't you eat with Bai Chunyang every day? Why are you coming to see me again?" Zhao Yue said, taking the bibimbap sauce under the table, wringing it out, and then secretly putting it in her pocket.
Shen Yuzhu, who witnessed her actions throughout, was speechless.
You should have hidden it more carefully. Isn't this obviously telling others that you don't want to share it with them?
Mu Qing saw it too, her expression froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered and silently rolled her eyes at her.
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Mu Qing. Zhao Yue and I are in the same class, both of us are communications officers. You see how stingy she is. Last time she came back, she brought some delicious food, and we only ate two bites, and she got so angry that she cried loudly. Hey, this time she's even worse. She won't even let anyone see the bottle."
"What do you know? My sister-in-law finally came all this way to bring me some things, and I haven't even had a bite yet, and you guys have taken them all. I've never seen female soldiers like you, you have no manners at all."
Mu Qing: "........."
If we're talking about being girly, you're the only one in the whole class who doesn't act like a girl at all!
"Alright, Xiaoyue, I brought you several bottles. Take them out and let your comrades try them too."
"Hehehe, my sister-in-law is the best, here you go!"
Zhao Yue pouted, looking petty, but she had already unscrewed the lid and placed it in front of Mu Qing as if venting her anger. After smelling the aroma, the latter jumped up, went to the window, and asked for three steamed buns, then turned around and smeared the contents on the buns.
"This is so delicious!"
"If I give you food, just eat it. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Zhao Yue glanced at her, and was eating when Mu Qing nudged her arm.
"Hey, hey, look, look, do you know who that guy following Bai Chunyang is?"
Zhao Yue's eyes darted around. "Who?"
"Hey, she said her family arranged her fiancé, and she was quite satisfied with him. Both families had planned to set a wedding date for her. But before the wedding, she discovered that this man had been sending money to his brother's widow. After Bai Chunyang exposed him, he righteously claimed that it was his brother's dying wish and that he had to abide by it. He even said that his brother had saved him and other nonsense. Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Ew~, Chunyang hates evil like poison. This thing wants to marry her? He can dream on!"
Shen Yuzhu never expected that her trip to the garrison would not only fail to bring her Zhou Congsheng, but also provide her with a mouthful of gossip.
After the meal, Zhao Yue asked Shen Yuzhu to wait in the cafeteria while she went to find someone. She returned after a while with a key in her hand.
"Come on, sister-in-law, I'll take you to my brother's dorm, hehehe..."
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
That smile looks so sinister!
After settling Shen Yuzhu in, Zhao Yue went to fetch her two bottles of hot water before heading to the front door. She thought that once Zhou Congsheng returned, she would make him hurry back so that he would see a sleeping beauty inside as soon as he opened the door.
Shen Yuzhu sat on Zhou Congsheng's bed, looking around the room. Her first impression was that it was simple, with minimal furnishings, and clean and tidy.
She took the things she had brought for Zhou Congsheng out of her bag. She put the food and drinks on the table, sweaters, pajamas, thermal underwear, cotton-padded clothes, and other items on the bed, along with two pairs of cotton shoes and six pairs of socks.
These were all carefully selected from the space, and they were all things he could use.
As she was tidying up, there was a knock on the door. Shen Yuzhu's face lit up with joy, and she hurried over. Before opening the door, she smoothed her hair, tugged at her clothes, and opened the door with a smile. There stood a pretty young woman standing in the doorway.
The man was taken aback when he saw her. "Who are you? This is Captain Zhou's room. What are you doing here?"
