Yang Xiaoyin ran to Su Liuyuan, raised the flowers in her hand, and said:
"Su Liuyuan, I like you, can you be my boyfriend?"
Su Liuyuan subconsciously shook his head and refused, unable to understand:
"We've only known each other for less than half a month. What do you like about me?"
"You are good-looking, in my opinion." Yang Xiaoyin answered frankly:
"If you're rejecting me because you're moving too fast, I can wait until you get to know me better."
"Sorry Xiaoyin, I don't have any feelings for you." Su Liuyuan told the truth.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyin was only disappointed for a moment, but soon smiled again, confident and generous.
"No need to apologize. Relationships are based on mutual consent. If you don't like me, I won't pester you. We can still be colleagues."
"Congratulations on getting third place."
Yang Xiaoyin gave the flowers to Su Liuyuan and left.
Confess your feelings straightforwardly and give up easily.
So much so that Su Liuyuan was still in confusion.
After Yang Xiaoyin left, Jiang Fei, Lu Yu and Xu Qianyao passed through the audience area.
Xu Qianyao joked: "Liuyuan, you are really good."
"I just joined the Military Industry Department and I've already won the favor of the girl."
"But that girl has a really good personality. She can let go of things easily without any hesitation."
Xiao Chuxia also teased Su Liuyuan: "Who said yesterday that Yang Xiaoyin didn't like him?"
"It's only been one night, and you've been slapped in the face."
Su Liuyuan was helpless: "I didn't think she would like me."
"After all, she is nice to everyone."
Suddenly, the silent Ling Zhaorui spoke.
"Then you usually pay a lot of attention to her."
Hearing Ling Zhaorui's sarcastic words, everyone looked at him in confusion.
After realizing what he had just said, Ling Zhaorui lowered his head uncomfortably:
"Let me load the rice onto the truck."
After saying this, Ling Zhaorui picked up the bag of rice given to him by the staff and left.
Xiao Chuxia blinked: "Why do I feel that Zhao Rui is a little strange?"
"He never used to speak in that tone."
"Maybe it's because he has no girls chasing him, and he envies his brother's looks."
Su Liuyuan spoke in a cocky tone, earning several people's disdain.
After the shrimp fishing competition, Xu Qianyao drove Jiang Fei and his family home.
"Chuxia, Liuyuan, Zhaorui, to celebrate your achievements, we will have grilled fish for lunch today."
Jiang Fei stopped Xu Qianyao: "Tell grandma not to cook at noon."
"When I'm done, I'll ask you to come to Room 102 to eat."
"Okay." Xu Qianyao parked the car behind the building.
"Jiang Jie, my stomach is upset. I'm going to go home and make some porridge. I won't eat with you guys."
"I got up too early today, and I'm too sleepy to open my eyes."
Ling Zhaorui pretended to yawn and went upstairs.
Lu Yu thought for a moment and whispered to Jiang Fei, "Let me talk to Zhao Rui for a while and ask him what's wrong."
"The meal is ready, you guys eat first."
Jiang Fei nodded, and took Xiao Chuxia and Su Liuyuan back to Room 102.
The two of them played with Dahuang, Xiaohei and Xiaohui, and she went to the kitchen and took out a grouper from the supermarket.
Grouper has relatively few bones and its meat is tender and firm, making it very suitable for roasting.
After cleaning the grouper, Jiang Fei took the vegetable and cut it into two.
Since the chatterbox and Grandma Xu can’t eat spicy food, I made non-spicy sauce-flavored food for them and spicy food for the other half.
Jiang Fei was busy downstairs.
Upstairs, room 202.
Lu Yu sat on the sofa.
Ling Zhaorui sat opposite him, holding a half-drunk beer in his hand.
"Brother Lu, to be honest, I don't understand what happened to me these past two days."
"Ever since Yang Xiaoyin showed up last night, I've felt uncomfortable all over, as if she was here to separate me and my brothers."
"You all know that Liu Yuan and I have basically lived together, eaten together, and slept together in the past few years unless there are special circumstances."
"Even during those months when he was injured in the leg, we took a bath together."
"Today Yang Xiaoyin confessed her love to Liu Yuan, and I felt like there was a stone blocking my heart, I couldn't breathe, and that's why I blurted out those words."
Lu Yu's brows gradually furrowed.
Zhao Rui's current mood...
Why did he feel the same as when he overheard Mu Qingzhou and Fei Fei's confession?
Thinking of some possibilities, Lu Yu's breath was choked.
After a moment, he asked tactfully.
"In your heart, do you regard Liu Yuan as a brother, or someone you can spend your life with?"
Ling Zhaorui was stunned.
She realized what Lu Yu meant belatedly and her cheeks turned red.
I wanted to argue, but the image of him and Liu Yuan holding hands, and...even more intimate scenes, emerged in my mind.
Snap——!
The beer can fell to the ground and Ling Zhaorui fell from his chair, his eyes dull.
"It's over, Brother Lu... The brotherhood between Liu Yuan and I has deteriorated..."
When did this base go bad? ! ! !
Unable to accept that he was not gay, Ling Zhaorui was close to collapse.
Lu Yu stood up tactfully and patted his shoulder:
"Calm down."
"Don't worry, I won't tell Liu Yuan about this, but I will tell Fei Fei so that she won't worry about you."
"Thank you, Brother Lu..."
—
When Lu Yu opened the door of Room 102, he smelled the aroma of grilled fish.
Jiang Fei had just finished grilling the fish and was serving rice to Xu Qianyao and the others.
"How is Zhao Rui?"
"I just feel sick to my stomach. I'm asleep now."
Due to the others' concerns, Lu Yu did not tell the truth and sat down to eat first.
It was almost midnight.
After everyone helped Jiang Fei clean up the table and went home to rest, Lu Yu told Jiang Fei about his conversation with Ling Zhaorui.
Jiang Fei was rarely stunned for a moment.
I really didn't think about it. This is the reason why Ling Zhaorui felt awkward.
"I remember... Liu Yuan liked the opposite sex and had a girlfriend?"
Seeing Lu Yu nod, Jiang Fei rubbed his brows:
"Let's just pretend we don't know and take it one step at a time. It's up to them to see how things develop."
Both sides are friends, not to mention that Su Liuyuan is still a young woman, so she has no way of interfering in this matter.
Lu Yu had the same idea.
It's not good to help anyone, so just don't help anyone and let Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui take their own course.
—
Despite official fishing competitions and distribution of comprehensive nutritional pills, residents of the base remained listless.
Every day when I open the curtains, it is dark and I always feel like I have lost hope.
As a result, everyone had a sullen face and no energy at all.
Jiang Fei had a supermarket desk lamp and was not affected by the polar night.
While Lu Yu has completed his mission, he can go home and rest and learn from him how to draw a route.
Xiao Chuxia, Su Liuyuan, and Ling Zhaorui still come to 102 for dinner after get off work every night.
Ling Zhaorui behaved as usual and got along with Su Liuyuan leisurely. Jiang Fei and Lu Yu also pretended that they knew nothing.
That evening.
Lu Yu determined the route to the North Pole and looked at Jiang Fei:
“I made the route charts, the nautical charts, whether we were going by ship or by plane.”
"Have you decided on a date?"
Jiang Fei: "Maybe in a few days."
"After all, this trip will take a long time, and I won't be able to come back for two or three months..."
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, a dull crash interrupted Jiang Fei.
At the same time, Xiao Hei's fierce roar was heard from the living room.
Jiang Fei and Lu Yu immediately left the bedroom.
Someone opened the closed window in the living room.
Big Yellow, Little Gray and Little Black are nowhere to be seen.
