Chapter 404: Like a Young Boy
Noon, 108th Regiment dormitory.
After training, Yan Shaoyu took a cold shower, changed his clothes and prepared to go to the temporary family dormitory.
Meng Hu grabbed his arm and shouted, "Shao Yu, Shao Yu, is what Captain Li said true? Did your girlfriend really come to the team headquarters to see you? And she will be the military doctor of our unit in the future? Is this true?"
Yan Shaoyu had a cold face. After hearing his words, he frowned and said, "Did Li Dongdong say that?"
Meng Hu betrayed Li Dongdong without hesitation: "Captain Li said this during the training today. Hehe, I guess everyone in our group knows it. He said that your girlfriend is like a fairy from heaven and is now living in a temporary family dormitory."
After saying that, he bumped into Yan Shaoyu's shoulder and said, "Shaoyu, are you going to the cafeteria later? Let's go together?"
He didn't want to accompany Yan Shaoyu to the cafeteria at all; his real intention was not to drink.
At this time, He Lanzhang came back. He had obviously heard about this as well, and his face looked a little dazed.
"Hey, Old He, Old He, hurry up and talk to Shao Yu. Let's go to the cafeteria with him." Meng Hu winked at He Lanzhang and grabbed Yan Shaoyu's arm while shouting, fearing that he would abandon him and run away.
He Lanzhang forced a smile: "Shao Yu is busy, why are you interfering? I'll just accompany you to the cafeteria."
Meng Hu looked disgusted and said loudly, "Why are we two grown men going to the cafeteria together? I want to see if Shao Yu's girlfriend looks like a fairy. Captain Li is full of nonsense. I don't know if he is lying or not."
Yan Shaoyu was not in a hurry: "The chief asked me to come over, do you want to come with me?"
Meng Hu was stunned: "Chief? Didn't they say that the chief was attacked in the municipal party committee compound in Huaihai City and was seriously injured? Why did they ask you to go there? Are you kidding me?"
After saying this, he said with great sorrow: "Yan Shaoyu, you were not like this before. You have become a bad person."
This time Yan Shaoyu’s patience was exhausted. He pulled out his arm, brushed past He Lanzhang, and left the dormitory.
Meng Hu was so angry behind him that he jumped up and down: "Look at him, Lao He, he is so stingy and keeps things to himself!"
He vented his anger and angrily scolded Yan Shaoyu for valuing women over friendship, then said to He Lanzhang, "Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria first, they will definitely go there later, we will definitely see them."
He Lanzhang, however, was lying on the bed, with his arms raised and resting on his eyes, and said tiredly: "I won't go. I'm tired."
Meng Hu looked suspicious: "Tired? Captain Li didn't train as hard as usual today to gossip about it. Are you tired? I get it! Are you also envious of Shao Yu for having a partner? Are you tired?"
Meng Hu was making a lot of noise, but he didn't know that he had hit upon He Lanzhang's real concerns.
He knew that Yan Shaoyu's girlfriend was Gu Yuehuai, so it must be her who came to visit this time. As a failed suitor, it felt really awkward to witness the girl he liked coming to visit his comrades, and he didn't want to go.
Fortunately, Meng Hu did not force him. He just patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Old He, relax. Look, I still don't have a partner. Why are you so worried? One day, I will find another beauty and make that stingy Yan Shaoyu die! Humph, I will write a letter today and ask my mother to find a suitable woman for me."
"I advise you to hurry up and get it done before Yan Shaoyu does. That's all I have to say about this."
After Meng Hu finished speaking, he laughed and went out to the cafeteria happily, looking completely heartless.
He Lanzhang gave a bitter smile, leaving only a sigh in the dormitory.

On the other side, after leaving the dormitory, Yan Shaoyu went all the way to the temporary dormitory for visiting relatives.
When he arrived, everyone was preparing to go to the cafeteria together, including comrades who came specially to bring their families. When they saw Yan Shaoyu, they were not surprised, and there was teasing and ridicule in their eyes, which showed how great Li Dongdong's publicity efforts were.
Even with Yan Shaoyu's temperament, he felt a little embarrassed under the gaze of so many people.
He ran up to the third floor in one breath and saw that the dormitory door was half open. There was a pleasant smell of grass in the room.
When he smelled this scent, all the tension in Yan Shaoyu's eyes disappeared. His narrow eyes were full of tenderness. He pushed the door open and saw Gu Yuehuai boiling water. The house was cold, so each room was equipped with a stove.
Hearing the noise, Gu Yuehuai turned around and saw Yan Shaoyu, and said with a smile: "Finally you're back. I was starving."
Yan Shaoyu pursed his lips, held her hand, and said apologetically: "I came back late."
Gu Yuehuai was stunned, and looked at Yan Shaoyu with interest: "What's wrong with you? I just said it casually, are you really embarrassed to do it? If you really feel sorry, take me to the cafeteria quickly."
Yan Shaoyu paused for a moment and said, "Uncle Xu asked us to come over and eat."
"Uncle Xu?" Gu Yuehuai was stunned for a moment, then he said after a moment's hesitation: "Then let's go. I also want to see how his injury is. Bring some food over so that Uncle Xu can have a taste of my cooking skills."
As he spoke, Gu Yuehuai picked out a few meat patties and buns and prepared to pack them up to bring to Xu Chuangu.
Yan Shaoyu frowned, grabbed her wrist, and said in a cold voice: "It's for me."
Gu Yuehuai's mouth twitched, and he looked at him in surprise: "So stingy?"
Yan Shaoyu didn't say anything. After letting go of her hand, he carefully put the meat pie and buns back, his ebony eyes flickering with warmth: "You brought me these from afar, I have to finish them, Uncle Xu doesn't need these."
Seeing that he was serious, Gu Yuehuai didn't argue with him. If he didn't want to give it to her, then he didn't have to.
After thinking for a while, her eyes flickered slightly, and she pretended to say, "Then take a few eggs to nourish Uncle Xu? I brought these with great difficulty, and luckily they are not broken, otherwise it would be a big loss. You can throw them in the oven and roast them on weekdays."
Yan Shaoyu glanced at the eggs on the table and nodded slightly: "Okay."
Gu Yuehuai was originally afraid that he would become suspicious, but when he saw him accept the origin of the eggs so calmly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
She packed ten eggs, left the dormitory with Yan Shaoyu, and went to Xu Chuangu's residence.
As the head of the Eighth Military Region, he naturally would not sleep with others and lived alone in a small courtyard with a private entrance.
On the way, they met many soldiers. They were walking in groups of three or four. When they saw Gu Yuehuai, they would look back for a few more glances. Yan Shaoyu frowned, took the egg, and held Gu Yuehuai's hand, showing his status as the official partner.
Gu Yuehuai laughed and said unhappily, "Why are you acting like a young boy who hasn't grown up yet?"
This temper is completely different from that of the previous life, but it’s good this way. At least it makes me look popular and doesn’t make people feel distant. After all, something has changed.
Gu Yuehuai curled the corners of his mouth and looked at him with a smile, feeling indescribably relaxed.
