He Wan noticed that every time they met, he brought money or food coupons, so she asked timidly, "How much is your monthly allowance? If you give me all your salary, what do you spend it on?"
Zhou Ting'an laughed: "I get thirty-five yuan a month. Occasionally I get a bonus when I go on a mission. I'm a grown man, and I don't spend much money on a regular basis. I joined the army after I turned 18. I'm twenty-one this year, and I haven't spent much money in the past three years. I've saved it all."
He Wan chuckled: "You're already twenty-one, there's no one going to introduce you to someone. You should keep this money to get married."
Zhou Ting'an blushed upon hearing this and said, "My boss did mention someone before. It seems that the person already has someone they like, but couldn't go against their parents' arrangements, so they met with me."
"Oh, it's fine if you already have someone you like. You're so handsome, you'll definitely have a lot of girls chasing after you in the future."
Zhou Ting'an glanced at He Wan, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Right now, many people in the team don't know the truth and think that she and I are dating. I actually know that she is just using me to shut up her elders."
"Ah, even if her elders don't want it, you can't do it like this. You know that, why didn't you explain it clearly?"
Zhou Ting'an chuckled and said, "You don't understand. Sometimes it's not comfortable when there are too many women around. Ever since she said that, I've had a lot more peace and quiet around me."
He Wan instantly understood Zhou Ting'an's meaning, and said with a smile, "So you two have each gained something, but if that's the case, people will criticize you when you actually look for a partner in the future."
"Let's talk about the future later. Right now, I'm just thinking about making more contributions and getting promoted. Wanwan, if there's a chance, I'll take you with me. Many of my comrades-in-arms come from factory families."
There's also the female comrade I helped arrange her marriage with; she's from the performing arts troupe. I'll ask her about it sometime.
He Wan quickly shook her head: "No, I actually know a few people in factories in the county. They said they would let me know when they were recruiting. I just don't want to go. Don't use this favor for me."
Moreover, I'm waiting for a university recommendation spot; our team leader said he'd save it for me.
Zhou Ting'an thought about it for a moment and felt that the job assigned after graduating from university would be better, so she didn't say anything more.
He Wan didn't really want to go to university now; it was just an excuse. He didn't want Zhou Ting'an to owe anyone a favor because of him.
If I miss this opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste to take the college entrance exam later?
