After Su Xiaole ran to the men's dormitory and stayed there, she couldn't go upstairs. She saw a boy come out and asked, "Comrade, could you help me call Battalion Commander Xing out?"
Although the boy was a little confused, he nodded in agreement, turned around and ran up to call for help.
"Commander Xing, there's a girl downstairs looking for you. She wants you to come down."
Who is it?
"I don't know him."
Xing Jianguo had originally planned to take a shower and rest, and get a good night's sleep, but when he heard someone calling him, he wondered if it was Aunt Qiyue bringing some news.
He put on his clothes and came downstairs.
He was taken aback when he saw that it was Su Xiaole waiting for him.
Seeing the cake in her hand, I wondered if she didn't like it and was using it to distance herself from him.
"What do you want from me?" Xing Jianguo was trying hard to control his tone; he felt that if he said another word, his voice would sound off.
Su Xiaole saw that he had a cold face and seemed very angry.
"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?" Su Xiaole asked, a little defiantly.
Xing Jianguo glanced at Su Xiaole, swallowed hard, and explained, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was, you weren't on a date with your boyfriend, so what are you doing here looking for me?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at her, wanting to see what her expression was.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaole's anger instantly dissipated; this kid was actually quite adorable.
"I want to get married, will you allow me?" she asked directly.
Xing Jianguo sneered, feeling a sharp pain in his heart, and said, "When you get married, I will definitely give you a big red envelope at the wedding banquet."
Su Xiaole was annoyed; how could he not understand what she was trying to say?
She stomped her feet in anger and bluntly said, "I want to marry you. Are you in or not? If not, forget it!"
Xing Jianguo was completely taken aback, blinking as he stared at Su Xiaole, wondering if he had misheard.
Seeing his expressionless face, Su Xiaole angrily threw the bag of cake into his arms.
He said defiantly, "If you don't marry me, someone else will."
She turned around, wiping away her tears, and prepared to leave.
She shouldn't have come here to humiliate herself, thinking he genuinely cared for her, and running over there like a puppy.
On the way here, she thought of a lot to say to him, but when they met, she just said it briefly and directly, and he didn't react at all.
Realizing what had happened, Xing Jianguo grabbed the bag of cake and chased after them.
"Xiao Le, I do~" He was just too happy to react for a moment.
A few tears welled up in Su Xiaole's eyes and rolled down her cheeks. He grabbed her wrist and said he was willing.
"What did you say?" she asked, choking back tears. "I said I'm willing to marry you. As long as you're willing to marry me, I'll marry you? Xiao Le, I've figured it out. I love you, and I'd rather die than be with you. Will you marry me?"
If the girl takes the initiative, he definitely has to take the initiative too.
During the two months he was on the mission, he experienced too many dangers and finally understood.
She told herself that when she got back this time, she would definitely express her feelings to Su Xiaole.
He is no longer afraid of being bound by his family; he should strive to achieve the life he wants.
But that day she said she had a new blind date, and I was extremely upset at that time.
Su Xiaole looked up at him and asked her seriously. She wiped away her tears and said in a wronged voice, "Then go and write an application now, apply for a house. Once the application is approved, we'll register our marriage."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll go find Political Commissar Lan Yuchu right now." After saying that, he turned around to find someone.
Su Xiaole immediately grabbed him.
"It's Sunday today, let's do it tomorrow." Su Xiaole was just teasing him, and he really was clueless.
Xing Jianguo chuckled as he realized what had happened, scratching his head and saying, "Hehe, I was a little dizzy."
After they talked it out, he became reserved, wanting to hug her but not daring to, in front of everyone.
Her little hands, looking flustered and helpless, kept touching the sides of her pants, while she was still holding the bag of cake in one hand!
He stared at Su Xiaole, trying to figure out what she was up to.
"If you're applying for a house, there aren't any with yards anymore, only apartment buildings. Is that okay?" When he helped Lan Yuchu submit the materials before, the logistics manager told the quartermaster that there were no houses with yards available.
Su Xiaole thought for a moment, then shyly lowered her head and nodded lightly, saying, "Anything is fine."
Seeing that she had no objections, Xing Jianguo happily said, "I still have time off. I'll go talk to Yu Chu about marriage later. It should be ready by tomorrow. We can go register tomorrow afternoon, okay?"
They are both soldiers. Su Xiaole is from the propaganda department, and the political vetting is very strict. The two of them were introduced by the political commissar before, so it should be possible to get them approved in half a day.
Su Xiaole was so shy that her face was practically bleeding. Although she appeared reserved, she was so excited that she looked like she was about to faint.
Hehe~
Xing Jianguo was so excited that he couldn't help but laugh.
The two of you were standing under the tree. You looked at her with a smile, and she smiled shyly and happily with her head down.
Su Xiaole pointed to the cake.
"Have one, it's very delicious. If you like it, I'll buy you some more tomorrow. I'll go early." He got up very early; the store opens at eight o'clock, and he went to the door at seven to queue up to buy some.
This jujube cake can't be kept for more than a few days; they only make a limited quantity each day.
Su Xiaole took a small bite, and it tasted delicious. She raised her hand and offered the piece she had eaten to Xing Jianguo's mouth.
He glanced around, and when no one was watching, he bent down and took a bite, ending up with the whole cake in his mouth.
Her lips touched Su Xiaole's fingers, and she immediately withdrew her hand shyly.
Su Xiaole became even more shy, her heart pounding faster than usual.
Thinking it over, she pulled Xing Jianguo toward the guesthouse. "Come on, let's go to the guesthouse to see my brother. Tell him we're getting married and we'll treat him to a meal at a restaurant in the city."
"Aren't you an only child in your family?"
Xing Jianguo was pulled along, and then he was very surprised to hear that Su Xiaole had an older brother.
Su Xiaole explained, "It's my cousin. He was the one who told the political commissar to introduce you to me. He was our matchmaker. My brother rarely gets a day off, and after visiting me, he's going back to his hometown of Fucheng to visit my parents. So, I thought I'd buy some gifts for my parents for him to take back with him today."
"Let's go back and get the money first. You wait for me?" Xing Jianguo handed the cake to Su Xiaole and turned to go back to his dormitory to get the money.
Su Yuan was quite satisfied with his future brother-in-law; he was the one he was most satisfied with among many candidates.
Although there were some minor setbacks, the two eventually got together.
They borrowed a vehicle from the military unit, ate at a state-run restaurant in the city, and then went with Su Xiaole to buy gifts for their parents.
