Not only is she beautiful, but I also heard she's Commander Li's biological daughter, named Li Xue, a real heiress. She used to work in the provincial dance troupe, and now that she's joined the army, our comrades here are in for a treat.
He kept talking, but the two people behind him didn't respond at all. Instead, they were even more indifferent than before. He saw in the rearview mirror that the two people were leaning back in their seats with their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.
He frowned: "Are you two even men? I told you that a beautiful woman has come to our unit, and you two are still like blocks of wood. Didn't you hear me? You're both young bachelors, don't you have any thoughts at all? Comrade Li Xue is still single. By telling you this information, I'm essentially giving myself two more competitors, and at the same time, I'm giving you two someone to pursue. You're both single men, and you're not even grateful?"
No matter what he said, the two people remained unmoved, not uttering a word, as if his words were air.
Chen Zhengdong shook his head helplessly. Xue Yanchen had always been indifferent to women and had never been interested in them. But why did Zhao Jun also look like a bald monk?
"Zhao Jun, it's understandable that the battalion commander isn't tempted. He's naturally immune to women, as if he's not from this planet. You're just an ordinary mortal, how can you not be tempted at all? Don't let me find out you're faking it."
Zhao Jun then opened his eyes and chuckled, "I'm not unmoved. If you don't believe me, stop the car and lean over to listen. My heart has been pounding the whole time, thumping loudly. If my heart didn't move, I'd be dead. However, I won't be interested in that Li family heiress. She has nothing to do with me. Since you like her, go ahead and pursue her. No one's going to take her from you."
Chen Zhengdong felt extremely disappointed: "Alright, I shouldn't have mentioned women in front of you two. It's pointless."
"You know that, yet you still talk? Go talk to whoever wants to listen to you. If you let others discuss it with you, you'll become interested."
"Actually, I'm not that interested in her, and I've never thought about pursuing her. She's a rich girl, and I know my own worth. We're just trying to find something to talk about, right? Fine, since you're not interested, I won't talk about her anymore."
An hour later, they arrived at the military region.
Knowing that they needed to rest, Chen Zhengdong drove the car directly to the entrance of the men's dormitory.
At this time, all the other soldiers had gone to the camp for training, and the dormitory was relatively quiet.
Xue Yanchen and Zhao Jun were both battalion commanders. They were eligible to apply for housing in the family compound, but since they had always lived alone, they felt it was better to stay in the dormitory than in a larger house.
They lived in rooms opposite each other in the dormitory. Before entering the dormitory, Zhao Jun said, "Brother Chen, you're too tired now. Take a rest and go to the public bathhouse tonight."
"go."
Xue Yanchen returned to his dormitory, first fetched water from a washbasin. After sitting on the train for a day and a night, he felt very uncomfortable. He took off his shirt, quickly wiped himself with water, and then lay down on the bed to rest. He would go to the public bathhouse to take a shower after he woke up.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, the image of a certain person's graceful figure appeared before him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
Unable to sleep, he didn't force himself. He took out a photo of himself and Luo Jingyan from his bag, admired it for a while, then took out paper and pen from the drawer and wrote a letter to Luo Jingyan to let her know he was safe. He also wrote a letter to the Qin family.
Zhao Jun, who lived across from him, was also longing for his beloved girl. Qin Zhenzhen had already allowed him to write to her, so he excitedly wrote her a letter. The next day, the two of them went to the city post office together and mailed the letter.
That evening, the army held a commendation ceremony for the two of them. Several important leaders from the military region attended the ceremony and shook hands with them warmly. In particular, Commander Li of the 1st Division of the 2nd Brigade, where Xue Yanchen was stationed, held his hand for a long time and couldn't let go. "Good seedling, good seedling! It is a great blessing for our division to have someone like you. Not only did you successfully retrieve the fuel sample and reduce the losses of the troops, but you also captured the enemy agent and helped the troops to find the long-hidden traitor. Your contribution is indispensable."
"You flatter me, Commander."
Zhao Jun was right next to them and clearly heard Commander Li praising Xue Yanchen. He wasn't jealous, since he hadn't made as many contributions as Xue Yanchen.
Commander Li probably realized that he had overlooked Zhao Jun, so he quickly turned around and praised Zhao Jun again.
Afterwards, the army commander personally awarded medals to Xue Yanchen and Zhao Jun.
