In Yuncheng, when Commander Gu received the call, he exclaimed, "How could there be such a reckless girl?" But there was nothing he could do but ask Huo Haocheng to go to his home and pick up Ruan Ruan.
Around 3 PM, Ruan Ruan was diligently drawing herbal illustrations when Huo Haocheng returned.
"Hey, why are you back so early today?" Ruan Ruan sat at the desk by the window, watching Huo Haocheng come in from the yard.
"Your uncle asked me to pick you up so you could answer Grandpa's call. Grandpa just said on the phone that the two girls from the Lu and He families in Beijing were saved by you in Yuncheng last time. They've been remembering your life-saving grace ever since they got back. When they heard that you were going to open a pharmaceutical factory in Yuncheng, they secretly sold their jobs and wanted to come to Yuncheng to help you."
As Huo Haocheng spoke, he observed Ruan Ruan's expression.
Ruan Ruan's expression at this moment did not disappoint him; she was just too cute.
Ruan Ruan started off calmly with Huo Haocheng, then her expression changed to a blank stare, and finally she looked like the character "囧" (jiǒng), her face clearly saying, "Don't come any closer!"
"You just said, 'they,' what were they again?" Ruan Ruan couldn't believe her ears. She had always considered herself one of the wilder girls, but now there were two who outshone her.
"Haha, little sister, you're so cute! You heard me right, that's right. They're at the Ruan family's place right now. Grandpa can't make decisions for you, so everyone's waiting for your reply."
Huo Haocheng was amused by Ruan Ruan's reaction. During this period, he had seen her as capable and meticulous in her work, even when training others to make mistakes during herb gathering, she would draw diagrams to help them remember more clearly. It was quite rare to see such a meticulous person struggling with the matter of the two girls.
"You're still laughing?" Ruan Ruan was so angry that she reached out to hit Huo Haocheng when she saw him laughing at her at this time.
"Alright, you can call me anytime when you get back tonight. Grandpa and the others are waiting now, it won't be good if we go late. Let's go," Huo Haocheng said, casually taking Ruan Ruan's hand as she reached out to him.
"Hey, what do you think they're here for?" Ruan Ruan asked, taking advantage of Huo Haocheng's pull to get up and follow him outside.
Huo Haocheng rode his bicycle with Ruan Ruan to the military headquarters. On the way, Ruan Ruan contacted the system and asked him to check Lu Shuyan and He Yuwei to see what their true purpose was. If they really came to repay a debt of gratitude as they said, she didn't know if she could accept it, since she was short of manpower right now.
"Host, they really have come to repay a debt of gratitude. He Yuwei's grandfather was once a servant of your master, Mr. Bai Shu, and he also fought alongside Mr. Bai Shu and your grandfather on the battlefield. Moreover, they have come here because of the guidance of fate; their destined marriage will also take place here."
"A destined marriage! Do you know who it is?" Ruan Ruan was relieved to hear that they had come just as they said, but she still wanted to find out more about the destined marriage. Who in the world doesn't love gossip?
"Hey, host, you'll find out when they get here." The system didn't want to talk about this with Ruan Ruan. It had never realized Ruan Ruan was so gossipy before!
"Anyway, there's still some time, so just tell me now, then I can ship the couple up close!" Who wants to wait to know something they can find out first? The system really doesn't understand her feelings at all.
"Host, the Poisonous Woman called. I've already told you!" After saying that, the system ended the conversation with her.
"Brother Haocheng, 520 is bullying me," Ruan Ruan said coquettishly, hugging Huo Haocheng's waist and resting her head on his back.
"What did the kitten say to you?" Huo Haocheng looked around. The sun was still quite strong, and there was no one else around, so he didn't bother to remind Ruan Ruan of her behavior. He listened happily to her talk.
"It told me that the two girls' destined marriage was here, which is why fate led them here. But it just wouldn't tell me who that person was, and told me to observe for myself. How could I possibly have time to observe?"
"Well, it really went too far. When it comes back, don't give it any dried fish," Huo Haocheng said in the harshest tone, delivering the gentlest punishment.
“Yes, you’re not allowed to make him dried fish anymore,” Ruan Ruan chimed in.
After the two arrived at Commander Gu's office, they first asked about the personnel arrangements made by the military. If the positions had already been filled, it would be difficult to make further arrangements if they came over.
