Chapter 7: A Different Look



Lu Fangfang was completely confused.

Zhuang Mingcheng's words frightened her.

She shook her head vigorously and said firmly, "I'm not going to get married. I'm going back tomorrow."

She's not that desperate to marry a scumbag; she'd rather go back and starve.

Zhuang Mingcheng frowned as he looked at her. "If you're not getting married, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that Lu Fangfang remained silent, he straightened his expression and said, "Comrade Lu, you don't have to marry me, but you have to write an explanation stating that it's your personal reason, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my grandfather."

"My personal reasons?"

Lu Fangfang pointed at herself in disbelief.

Seeing the man nod, she felt a little angry. "Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng, you already have a fiancée, why do you still want to marry me? This is clearly your own fault!"

Zhuang Mingcheng was taken aback and immediately thought of Zhu Haiming, whom he had just met.

Frowning, he said helplessly, "I'll say it again, I don't know that woman, she's mistaken me for someone else."

Seeing that Lu Fangfang still didn't believe him, he raised his uninjured hand and said, "I swear on my integrity that I didn't lie. I, Zhuang Mingcheng, am not that kind of person!"

Lu Fangfang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then swallowed it back down.

Looking at the determined Zhuang Mingcheng, she was also puzzled. Did the two of them really not know each other?

But Zhu Haiming had no reason to lie, since it concerned someone's reputation.

After thinking for a while, Lu Fangfang still couldn't figure it out.

"Comrade Lu, I'll go ask the political commissar later to see what's going on."

Lu Fangfang nodded subconsciously.

"Comrade Lu, why don't you go take a shower and rest first? The bathroom is just west of the canteen, and it's open today."

Zhuang Mingcheng reached into his shirt pocket, took out a newly bought, unused bar of soap, and placed it on the military uniform that Lu Fangfang was holding. "Comrade Zhu and I really have nothing to do with each other."

"Think about it. If you're willing, I'll write a marriage application. If you're not willing, you can write an explanation."

Lu Fangfang was stunned for a moment, and by the time she came to her senses, Zhuang Mingcheng had already left.

Looking down at the green military uniform in her arms, she sighed helplessly.

To be honest, she was also very conflicted.

"Forget it, let's go take a shower first, and talk about it after we've investigated the matter thoroughly."

Lu Fangfang muttered to herself, feeling disgusted by her own disheveled appearance.

She recalled the way Zhuang Mingcheng had looked at her earlier and felt a little strange.

"This man really has no taste for anything."

"Wait a minute, does he really not know Zhu Haiming?"

Lu Fangfang walked quickly to the mirror and looked at herself.

The person in the mirror looked like a beggar fleeing famine; anyone who wasn't blind would choose Zhu Haiming, the capitalist's daughter.

That's strange.

Lu Fangfang shook her head, too lazy to think about it anymore.

Anyway, Zhuang Mingcheng wanted to marry her, not because he was attracted to her beauty.

Um……

Thinking of this, she felt much more at ease.

After packing her few belongings, Lu Fangfang, carrying her clean old military uniform, went to the regimental bathhouse.

It was fate, really. She had just entered the bathhouse when she saw Wang Shufen and Daya.

The mother and daughter had towels draped over their shoulders and were carrying two enamel basins, one large and one small, in their hands.

Lu Fangfang quickened her pace and caught up with the two. "Sister Shufen, you and Daya are here to take a bath too?"

Wang Shufen turned around and saw Lu Fangfang, and she was also very happy. She nodded quickly, "Yes, this is the first time I've seen such a big bathhouse. The army is so much better than my hometown."

"By the way, girl, you and Comrade Hai Mei..."

Lu Fangfang shook her head, not wanting to talk about these things; she was still confused herself.

However, she was already leaning towards Zhuang Mingcheng, and there might really be a misunderstanding between them.

"Hey, girl, don't overthink it. If all else fails, I'll have my husband introduce you to someone in the army."

Wang Shufen looked her up and down. "But you'd better tidy yourself up properly. Come on, let's go inside and I'll give you a good back rub."

"this……"

Lu Fangfang was feeling embarrassed when Wang Shufen pulled her inside.

Wang Shufen and Daya quickly took off their clothes.

Lu Fangfang hesitated for a moment, then took off her clothes and put them on the bench.

Seeing Wang Shufen and her daughter waving at her, she quickly walked over barefoot, soap in hand.

The women's bathhouse at the regimental headquarters was very small, and when the group went in, there was no one inside.

Lu Fangfang walked to the showerhead, closed her eyes, and began to enjoy the shower.

"Splash..."

More than a month has passed since she transmigrated, and this is her first time taking a bath. She feels completely refreshed.

After rinsing herself for a while, she picked up the soap and vigorously rubbed her body.

She felt disgusted just looking at the chapped skin that had been washed away.

She lathered herself with soap again and again, scrubbing herself vigorously until her skin was red. Only then did she close her eyes and tilt her head back to rinse.

Lu Fangfang had been looking forward to this bath for a long time.

After a while, she pulled her long braid behind her back and started washing it with soap.

Beside her, Wang Shufen washed Daya while watching her with envy.

That girl's big braid is really pretty.

"Hey girl, want me to give you a back rub?"

"Sister Shufen, thank you for your trouble."

Lu Fangfang no longer feels embarrassed.

Wang Shufen stood up and went over to let her daughter wash herself first.

While rubbing her back, she said enviously, "Girl, your braids are so long."

Lu Fangfang didn't think so. Such a long braid was troublesome to manage, and she used more soap than others.
