They had been through a lot to get to where they are now, so they both tacitly cherish the present and each other.
"Instead of wasting your time talking nonsense, you should use your brain to figure out how to establish a relationship with Shadow as soon as possible and get her officially recognized!" Qiao Shouyan said, leaving Qiao Gaoyang behind, and sneaking back to his room with the rabbit in his arms, afraid of running into the two little devils.
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
Why!
It's tough! He desperately wants to speed things up, but this isn't something he can decide on his own. Besides, it's difficult to even see Leng Yingying now, and he can only worry anxiously all day long.
Without comparison, there is no harm!
Qiao Shouyan returned to his room, picked up the large rabbit, and compared it with others, pondering where would be the most suitable place to put it.
After looking around, he couldn't find a suitable spot. After all, the big rabbit didn't match the style of his room at all. He hadn't owned anything like it for the past twenty years.
"Or..." Qiao Shouyan's gaze fell on the side of his pillow, and he seemed to be secretly plotting something. He said shyly, "How about we just put it on the bed?"
He placed the rabbit over there and paced back and forth by the bed, admiring it.
Hmm, not bad.
That's it!
After washing up and lying in bed, Qiao Shouyan couldn't help but turn his head several times to look at the big rabbit next to his pillow. Every time he looked at it, he would smile knowingly, and the sweetness on his face was impossible to hide.
Thinking back on tonight's date, whether it was eating snacks together, playing balloon popping, or dancing in the dance hall, it was all so blissful.
"It's no wonder the second brother is envious, indeed... I would be jealous too if I were in his shoes," Qiao Shouyan murmured, closing his eyes contentedly.
Even with his eyes closed, Meng Yingxin's every smile and frown would still appear in his mind, in his dreams...
When Meng Yingxin returned to her dormitory, she couldn't help but touch her lips again, remembering the kiss she had given him while standing on tiptoe.
The soft touch still seems to be there.
"Heh..." she chuckled softly, looking down.
She had known Qiao Shouyan for two lifetimes, but this was the first time she had taken the initiative like this.
Thinking of Qiao Shouyan's reaction, his shocked and bewildered eyes widened, and Meng Yingxin found him incredibly adorable.
"It's hopeless!" She smacked her head, looked at the big bear that had been brought back, and felt a bittersweet feeling in her heart.
However, today's conversation with Qiao Shouyan made Meng Yingxin reflect on her recent actions.
Because she was busy testing the data of the new sniper rifle, she often spent time in the research group or hid in her dormitory to search for various books and information, which did neglect Qiao Shouyan a bit.
Putting herself in his shoes, she could understand if Qiao Shouyan neglected her because of work, but she would still feel a little disappointed. So, Qiao Shouyan must have been feeling quite disappointed lately.
“The data on sniper rifles can’t be obtained in just a few days. We can’t neglect Qiao Shouyan for the sake of it,” Meng Yingxin said, while deciding to maintain a normal pace of life.
Today, Qiao Shouyan also mentioned that he was worried she wasn't eating properly because she was so focused on her research...
Then she'll eat with Qiao Shouyan.
With Qiao Shouyan watching over her, he can't say she's not eating properly anymore, right?
So the next day, Meng Yingxin figured that Qiao Shouyan's training had already ended, so she hurried to the training ground to find him.
"Disband!" Qiao Shouyan shouted.
The large group of soldiers immediately dispersed, heading towards the canteen in twos and threes.
Some soldiers' partners were also in the army, and they would come over, either bringing food from home to eat together or heading to the mess hall together.
Qiao Shouyan also has a girlfriend, who is also in the military, but...
Well, Meng Yingxin has been busy with design work lately, so he should be more understanding of her. After all, the weapons research group isn't a place where you can just sit around doing nothing; without design, you can't stand firm.
Before he could even finish trying to console himself, he heard—
"Keep your word!"
Meng Yingxin stood at the edge of the training field, waving continuously at Qiao Shouyan.
She's here!
Qiao Shouyan maintained a serious expression, after all, his soldiers were everywhere and he couldn't lose his composure, but his heart was already blooming like spring flowers, and he forced himself not to smile.
"Why are you here?" Qiao Shouyan asked.
"I'd like to invite you to dinner. Didn't you say I don't eat properly? From now on, I'll have to trouble Commander Qiao to keep an eye on my meals, okay?" Meng Yingxin asked.
Qiao Shouyan was secretly pleased, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
How could he refuse?
Something I've been longing for!
"Let's go to the cafeteria, or we won't be able to get any good food," Qiao Shouyan said, and hurriedly led Meng Yingxin to the cafeteria.
"good!"
The training ground was packed with people. Meng Yingxin was already beautiful, so her appearance naturally attracted the attention of most people, and many stared at her.
But Meng Yingxin seemed oblivious to these glances, only able to see Qiao Shouyan.
The two were chatting and laughing, which was noticed by others.
"Isn't that the really pretty female soldier from the recruit training camp? I thought she'd been discharged, but I didn't expect she's still in the army!"
"Don't even think about it. Didn't you see he's with Commander Qiao? Do you think you can beat Commander Qiao?"
"Just because they're talking doesn't mean they're dating. Who says I don't have a chance?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Shouyan's soldiers immediately shattered the other man's dream.
"When has our Commander Qiao ever spoken to a female soldier? Judging from their behavior, they're definitely dating. She's the future wife of the commander, why would she be interested in you?"
"That's right, I advise you not to make a move on our regimental commander's wife, or you'll only be humiliating yourself!"
The soldiers had only been chatting a bit with the pretty girl when they saw her, but now that they learned she might be dating Commander Qiao, they all made it clear they had no ulterior motives.
There were also female soldiers on the training field.
At the last New Year's Eve party, Xu Chunyan, Zhao Jinyu, and others had already met Meng Yingxin and learned that she had joined the weapons research group, which made them particularly resentful.
Now I see Meng Yingxin coming to the training ground to find Qiao Shouyan...
"I never expected that she would actually marry into a wealthy family. It was Commander Qiao who helped Meng Yingxin move dormitories before!"
At first, they all thought that Qiao Shouyan, as a regimental commander, could find any kind of girl he wanted, so why did he have to be with Meng Yingxin? Was it just because she was pretty?
Later, I learned that Meng Yingxin had joined the weapons research group. She was both beautiful and capable, which made me even more envious!
"So what? Have you forgotten Meng Yingxin's heartless family? Even if she really gets together with the commander, once Commander Qiao sees her bloodsucking family, he'll definitely despise her!"
