At this moment, there were only a few steps in front of the two cars, and Zheng Dao and Chen Chunhua had already walked to the other side of the jeep, one after the other.
Meanwhile, Chen Xihua and Chen Meihua in the Santana also craned their necks forward, trying to get a better look.
"Xiao Wu, what do you think Comrade Zheng meant?" Chen Meihua's eyes burned with an intense gossip, it couldn't be more obvious.
"Third sister, wait a moment, let me take a closer look." Chen Xihua followed Captain Zheng as he led her eldest sister to the other side.
Perhaps to put her and her third sister at ease, he deliberately stood at the very front of the car, with his back to the five men lying on the ground blocking the road.
She could see him at a glance; he had already started talking to his older sister, though in a very low voice.
Chen Xihua opened the right-hand car window, and she could hear the painful groans of the five people on the ground more than ten meters away.
Unfortunately, she couldn't hear a word Captain Zheng said; perhaps only the older woman in front of him could hear her clearly.
But Chen Xihua secretly chuckled to herself, thankfully she had learned a little bit of lip reading from her self-defense instructor in her previous life.
Although I'm not very proficient, I still managed to get a general idea by guessing and some guesswork.
Zheng Dao: "My name is Zheng Dao. I am 29 years old, unmarried, and have no boyfriend or vices. My family consists of my parents, a younger brother, his wife, and my nephew. I am a soldier, and my father is also a soldier."
"Oh, ah? What..." Chen Chunhua didn't react at first, then froze, and then felt a little lost.
Zheng Dao asked directly, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Chen Chunhua was still in a daze and subconsciously said, "No, nothing."
"Do you think I'm old? Or ugly?" Zheng Dao continued to ask.
“No, no, I’m not old, and…and not ugly either,” Chen Chunhua said nervously.
"Would you be willing to date me?" Zheng Dao pressed his advantage.
He knew her personality; she was a bit like a turtle on the beach. If he didn't confront her directly, she would find it difficult to take the first step.
Based on her family background and the fact that she had been corresponding with that person for over a year and remained friends without committing to a relationship, he could tell that she lacked confidence in matters of the heart.
That person, perhaps due to some concerns, didn't make it clear from the beginning. Zheng Dao wouldn't be like him, but he should still be grateful to him.
"Comrade Zheng, you...?" Chen Chunhua was a little nervous, but not stupid.
She understood what Comrade Zheng meant, and she was flustered and confused, her face turning red instantly.
"Or do you already have someone you like? Or am I not good-looking enough for you?" Zheng Dao's heart tightened.
"No!" Chen Chunhua blurted out.
Zheng Dao's lips curled up slightly, "How about we start dating? You'll graduate from university in six months, and your family will definitely be urging you to get married then."
Also, as I just mentioned, my younger brother already has a son, so you don't need to worry about children. My parents won't say anything either. If you don't want to have children, we can choose not to in the future.
When Zheng Dao checked her family information, he vaguely guessed that deep down, she might have another worry: the issue of having a son.
After her mother remarried, she gave birth to five daughters in a row, and the whole family was scolded by her own grandmother. It's possible that her sisters were also criticized for not being able to produce sons.
Neighbors might say behind their backs that after they get married, they'll be like their mothers, unable to have sons, and so on.
She was exposed to these things from a young age, and they left indelible memories in her heart.
Zheng Dao looked at the girl who was stunned for a moment and felt a little sorry for her.
He knew that what he had just said was inappropriate to a young girl. But he had to completely dispel her concerns and worries.
Chen Chunhua suddenly stopped, indeed because her heart was truly stirred; Comrade Zheng actually knew.
Then, she took a deep breath and said slowly, "Can I...can I think about it?"
"Of course, is one night enough to think it over? But I hope you're not agreeing just because I helped you. I'm a soldier, and serving the people is my duty," Zheng Dao said smugly.
He didn't want the girl to agree to be with him because she had feelings for soldiers or because she was grateful to him.
Then he added, "I came here specifically to see you. I'm going back home for the New Year tomorrow afternoon."
Although Zheng Dao wasn't completely at ease, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked at her very seriously.
We can't drag this out for too long, otherwise this girl will have to retreat back into her shell.
“…One, one night, okay.” Chen Chunhua originally wanted to say that they would decide after the New Year.
"Okay, then you can go back to the car first. It's a bit cold outside, and the police should be here soon." Zheng Dao lowered his eyes and naturally adopted his role, speaking with concern.
When Chen Chunhua got back to the car, Chen Xihua was already suppressing her laughter.
Hahaha, that's hilarious!
She actually saw those scenes from the novel.
This soldier is so cute! He's incredibly fast at finding a girlfriend; he's practically saying he'll be submitting his marriage application as soon as he gets back tomorrow.
Captain Zheng's confession was textbook perfect! This little white rabbit could only obediently accept it and burrow right in.
"Xiao Wu, what are you laughing at?" Chen Meihua asked, looking puzzled.
Chen Chunhua blushed deeply. She feigned anger and raised her hand as if to slap Chen Xihua. Xiao Wu must have guessed it.

Meanwhile, that same night, in Beijing, at the Fengting Club, in a private room on the fifth floor.
"Changxing, are you really sure? Didn't you go to confirm it in person later?" Lu Zhengjing asked in a deep voice.
He recalled what his niece Yiyang had said some time ago: the two top-scoring sisters from last year were two of the five sisters in the Chen family.
That family is probably not as bad as the surface information suggests; there may be other hidden stories, but he is not suitable for doing anything.
Moreover, during this period, the person behind the scenes went crazy, sending people to cause trouble for him or his company.
Although there are no major problems, the minor issues are also a bit messy, with no clear pattern or direction, and everything is in a chaotic mess.
“Uncle, I understand what you mean, but what’s the point of asking in person?” Shen Changxing said calmly, then his eyes hardened.
He actually thought about it later and believed that she wasn't that kind of person, but things had already escalated to that point.
He didn't want to put the girl in a difficult position, and besides, his mother, regardless of whether the information she knew was true or false, would definitely not agree.
Furthermore, he is already engaged to Li Hualin, and he will be loyal to the country, as well as to his family and marriage.
Therefore, I absolutely cannot let down the second girl.
Shen Changxing was actually a little relieved that she had rejected him first, so he hadn't embarrassed the young lady.
The letter that her mother hid for several days was written at the end of June.
In other words, even without the information later investigated and found out by his mother, it was unlikely that he and she would ever be together.
"I really don't understand you guys!" Bai Feng said smugly, crossing his legs.
Changxing and that girl weren't officially dating; they were just pen pals who had exchanged letters. Since they both felt it wasn't right for them, what was there to hesitate about?
