"Pah! I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"
Zhu Haiming spat, crossed her arms, and completely ignored Lu Fangfang.
So what if Lu Fangfang seems like a different person? She's still just a young, inexperienced girl.
"Comrade Zhu Haiming, since you believe you are right, then I have no choice but to relay your words to Political Commissar Xiao and let him hear your views on the vast rural areas."
"By the way, Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng can serve as a witness."
Lu Fangfang had a smile on her face.
"you……"
A chill ran down Zhu Haiming's spine, and her face turned pale instantly.
Having only been away from Shanghai for a few days, she almost forgot her identity.
If the political commissar finds out, she won't be able to stay in the army.
"Comrade Zhu Haiming, please apologize!"
Lu Fangfang smiled and took two more steps forward.
"You...you..."
Zhu Haiming couldn't help but back away, gradually being cornered by Lu Fangfang.
She stared intently at Lu Fangfang, her heart filled with humiliation. "I...I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Why bother?
Lu Fangfang shook her head.
She turned around to go back into the house, but Zhuang Mingcheng called her back.
"Comrade Fangfang, I need to talk to you about something. Let's go outside."
She glanced at Zhuang Mingcheng, this "femme fatale," and nodded in agreement.
She went back inside, put down her braid, and went out first.
Zhuang Mingcheng didn't rush to follow. He walked up to Zhu Haiming and said softly, "Comrade Zhu, Fangfang's cultural literacy is indeed better than yours. Also, I'm from Beijing, so my perspective is not low."
"By the way, having a broad perspective and extensive knowledge is not a reason to look down on others."
"Goodbye, Comrade Zhu Haiming!"
After saying that, Zhuang Mingcheng stopped caring about Zhu Haiming and turned to chase after Lu Fangfang.
"You...you all..."
"Bastards! They're all bastards! A bunch of bastards!"
Zhu Haiming was both ashamed and angry.
Recalling her experience today, she couldn't hold back her tears, which fell down her cheeks.
...
Zhuang Mingcheng caught up with Lu Fangfang, and the two walked outside the guesthouse.
Are you hungry?
Lu Fangfang shook her head. She had eaten too much in the morning, and now her stomach was full and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Then let me show you around the neighborhood."
Lu Fangfang did not refuse; she followed behind Zhuang Mingcheng, watching curiously.
As the sun set and it grew late, the regimental headquarters was filled with soldiers.
There were fewer people around after they left the regimental headquarters.
In early spring, the grasslands are still a barren yellow, and apart from the distant snow-capped mountains, there is nothing particularly beautiful to see.
After walking for a while, Zhuang Mingcheng couldn't resist his curiosity and turned back to look at Lu Fangfang.
At that moment, he sensed that the woman was very calm, as if she had never had a conflict with anyone.
He became even more curious about Lu Fangfang.
"Comrade Fangfang, the matter of Zhu Haiming has been investigated and clarified. It was a man named Li Dajun in the troupe who used my photo for a blind date, which caused Zhu Haiming to misunderstand..."
Looking at the distant snow-capped mountains, Lu Fangfang casually said, "I know, Political Commissar Xiao has already told me."
"Mingcheng, have you ever been to those snow-capped mountains?"
"I've been there."
Lu Fangfang asked curiously, "What does it feel like?"
Zhuang Mingcheng stopped and said earnestly, "It's cold, but beautiful."
"very nice."
Looking at the snow-capped mountains, Lu Fangfang felt nothing but envy.
At that moment, Zhuang Mingcheng sensed her feelings.
Turning to look at Lu Fangfang, he took a deep breath and said, "If you're willing, I can take you there, and we can climb together."
“(⊙▽⊙）”
Lu Fangfang was excitedly about to agree when she suddenly felt that the man's words were somewhat ambiguous.
She wondered if she was overthinking things, and looked at the man suspiciously.
Zhuang Mingcheng smiled.
"Don't doubt it, it's exactly what you think, Comrade Lu Fangfang, I want to become your revolutionary partner!"
"..."
Lu Fangfang laughed too; this man was certainly straightforward.
"Besides Zhu Haimei, your 'fiancée,' you don't have anyone else, do you?"
Zhuang Mingcheng pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "Comrade Fangfang, you have always been my only fiancée."
Hearing this, Lu Fangfang was very pleased.
After thinking for a moment, she reached out her hand to Zhuang Mingcheng.
Once Zhuang Mingcheng had grasped her hand, she said, "Then it's decided, alright."
The two looked at each other.
After a while, Lu Fangfang couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
"Oh? Comrade Fangfang, I'm serious."
"Haha, what a coincidence, me too."
Lu Fangfang laughed and nodded, holding Zhuang Mingcheng's hand tightly and gently swaying it without letting go.
Zhuang Mingcheng is the same.
The two walked on the grassland in silence.
As the sun set and darkness fell, Zhuang Mingcheng finally escorted Lu Fangfang back to the guesthouse.
...
In the guesthouse's double room, Zhu Haiming lay curled up on the bed with her back to Lu Fangfang.
Lu Fangfang glanced at it but didn't care.
She still finds it somewhat unbelievable when she thinks back on what just happened.
She actually agreed?
Am I having a crush on someone?
She touched her cheek and felt a little hot. "I hope it's the right decision."
The room was a bit cold as there was no stove lit. Lu Fangfang turned off the lights and climbed onto another bed.
After walking for more than a month, she was exhausted, both physically and mentally.
She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
When she woke up again, it was already dawn.
