Xiang Lifeng's voice was not loud, but Fu Haitang, who was leaning on his shoulder, could hear it clearly.
Confusion flashed across her eyes.
Why don't you want to be just your brother?
Fu Haitang may be slow or naive, but she is definitely not stupid.
The stubborn and firm idea that had held her for so long gradually shook in her mind. She could not realize more deeply how considerate Xiang Lifeng was in this so-called brother-sister relationship.
He rushed her to the hospital holding her in his arms, sacrificed his rest time day after day for several months to help her improve her physical fitness, and on such a busy day as today, he bought her mooncakes in advance.
Although Fu Jingchen is good to her, don't forget that Xiang Lifeng is not her biological brother.
Thinking about his actions, Fu Haitang's heart beat faster.
Xiang Lifeng was not in a much better situation, but he did not regret what he said, and his eyes remained fixed on her face.
Meeting his gaze, Fu Haitang felt her face getting hotter and hotter.
She didn't understand. She just came here alone to get some peace and quiet, so how did it turn out like this?
"I liked you when we were in the 22nd Division." Xiang Lifeng continued calmly, "I came here for you."
No matter whether Fu Haitang wanted to avoid, refuse, or whatever, he just wanted to speak out his truest thoughts.
He was unwilling to be just the brother in her mind.
The conjecture was confirmed, and Fu Haitang's pupils trembled. "You said you liked me when you were in the 22nd Division? Then why did you bring me and my sister-in-law..."
There were so many shirtless people in the training ground that time that she felt embarrassed when she thought about it now.
"It was after that incident." Xiang Lifeng was also upset. "I'm sorry, I really regret that."
He regretted it then, and he regretted it even more now. If it weren't for that incident, perhaps Fu Jingchen wouldn't be so resistant to him getting close to Haitang.
Now that he was in this position, he could deeply understand the pain his beloved girl felt when she saw others. Fu Jingchen slapped him in the face because they were childhood friends.
Seeing Xiang Lifeng admit his mistake frankly, Fu Haitang's anger rose halfway, then subsided and turned into confusion.
She had never been confessed to like this since she was a child. At this moment, her heart was beating so hard that it was about to burst out of her throat. What should she do?
Fu Haitang couldn't find any reference, so she stood up clutching the mooncake, threw down a bag and fled. She needed to think carefully.
The two returned to the lively group one after the other. Fu Haitang, who had been depressed before, was now so upset that the sadness of missing his family was diluted.
Next, she deliberately avoided Xiang Lifeng.
It happened that at this time the female soldiers shed their youthfulness and began to handle guns. Fu Haitang was experienced and talented, and the company commander liked her more and more. She no longer needed Xiang Lifeng to train with her individually.
Xiang Lifeng spent more and more time in the dormitory.
Tong Songyun, who lived with him, was a little puzzled. "Why do you spend so much time in the dorm lately? Are you not teaching your sister anymore?"
Xiang Lifeng looked at him and said nothing.
It was true that he liked Fu Haitang, but he didn't want to let his comrades know about this as a topic of conversation. He was waiting for Haitang's answer, an answer without any pressure.
Tong Songyun was already married and was considered an experienced person. Seeing Xiang Lifeng's reaction, he hissed and sat down.
"Brother, I'm usually someone who doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. But seeing you like this, I can't help but say a few more words. If you really like the girl, then take the initiative, otherwise someone else will get there first."
These words came out of nowhere, but Xiang Lifeng understood his implication and couldn't help but look at him.
Tong Songyun coughed and said, "Zhuang Yongxian likes Comrade Fu Haitang."
Zhuang Yong is the commander of another battalion. He is very eccentric. In his own words, he doesn't like all the same female comrades.
So after discovering that Fu Haitang was an excellent marksman, he fell in love with this female soldier who was very different from him, and he tried to find out her preferences intentionally or unintentionally.
"I understand." Xiang Lifeng nodded, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Tong Songyun smiled and patted his shoulder, "I just can't bear to see you like this. If you like it, then do it."
