Chapter 18 Update 1

As the youngest leader on the island, He Hongyuan is handsome, has a promising future, and comes from a good family. He has long been the target of many people, who are considering marrying him to their own children.

Of course, there are also brave female comrades who take the initiative to pursue He Hongyuan. Last time, Meng Jing asked her uncle, Brigade Commander Yang, to help and invite He Hongyuan to her home for dinner, hoping to cultivate their relationship.

But He Hongyuan was not understanding. Not only did he bring Zhang Huafeng along for dinner, he also refused to send her home in person.

Meng Jing ran away in anger, but she still couldn't let go of He Hongyuan afterwards.

In addition to Meng Jing, the daughter of Chief Jiang also has her eyes on He Hongyuan. After being coldly rejected by He Hongyuan several times, she prepares to take a roundabout way to save the country. She asks her comrade in the art troupe Yan Min to ask Zhang Huafeng to call He Hongyuan to a social gathering in a few days, and then she will take action.

But today, the two girls heard that He Hongyuan had a partner, and that the partner had come from thousands of miles away, so they couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to come and see what was going on!

The girl from Zhou's family has a slim figure. Although her clothes are made of poor material, the coarse linen clothes cannot hide her cuteness. Her facial features are delicate and lively, especially her eyebrows and eyes.

If she was really He Hongyuan's object, both of them would be distressed.

"Are you really Lin Xiang? He Hongyuan's girlfriend?" Seeing that Meng Jing's question went unanswered, Jiang Xiurong could no longer help but asked harshly.

Lin Xiang could never have expected that He Hongyuan, who was full of romantic interests, would actually find her, especially now that they were in the family compound. It would be so embarrassing if something went wrong.

"No." Lin Xiang said calmly, answering with extraordinary firmness.

Meng Jing and Jiang Xiurong both secretly breathed a sigh of relief at these two words.

The man who had just walked over with big strides suddenly stopped where he was and looked at Lin Xiang from a distance as he continued to lie without changing his expression.

"Who is He Hongyuan? I don't know him." Lin Xiangchong smiled at the two big Buddhas, looking calm and composed.

No matter what, I've just arrived, so I'll just send him away first.

Besides, she had been busy all day and was really tired. She just wanted to go back to the guesthouse to rest as soon as possible.

"See, I told you she is not Lin Xiang." Shen Chunli claimed to be the only person who had seen Lin Xiang, and she immediately agreed with what he said.

He Hongyuan was hidden in the dim evening night, listening to Lin Xiang's decisive words - Who is He Hongyuan? I don't know him.

Her sharp words at the state-owned hotel that morning seemed to echo in my ears again.

Pulling and tugging, this woman is really hard to figure out!

…

Lin Xiang sent away the two people who looked like they were going to cause trouble, and went to the guesthouse carrying a bag of lychees. It was time to enjoy some lychees on such a beautiful night.

God knows, she had been eating vegetables, cabbages and sweet potatoes for most of the 1970s, but now she was so happy that she could eat fruits like lychees.

Just as Lin Xiang was about to leave quickly, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall figure in front of her.

"Captain He." Thinking about the situation just now and recalling He Hongyuan's dislike of being entangled, she took credit and said, "I didn't affect your reputation today. When someone asked about my relationship with you, the most I could say was that I was here to visit relatives."

He Hongyuan raised his lips slightly, "Really? Don't you know me?"

Lin Xiang: “…!”

How do you know!

Are you really a scout or a surveillance camera?

"Oh, Captain He, you really have your eyes and ears open." Lin Xiang was speechless!

Looking at Lin Xiang's slightly widened almond eyes, He Hongyuan's eyes brightened and his eyes slightly curved.

"I saw that the two female comrades just now were both young, beautiful and elegant, and they seemed to like you very much." Lin Xiang hugged the oil-paper bag of lychees to her chest and couldn't help doubting herself.

The two girls were stunning at first sight, and they were not shy and afraid to express their feelings. They must have been quite bold. In addition, judging from the fabrics of their clothes, one of them was a relative of Shen Chunli, which showed that she had a good family background.

These two outstanding girls were always close to He Hongyuan but failed to win her heart.

Can you really do it?

The night wind blew, lifting Lin Xiang's hair and making it dance lightly. She said softly, "You don't even like it?"

It seems that I am also in trouble.

He Hongyuan stood tall and straight, shining in the moonlight under the coconut trees, and exuding a sense of aloofness. He said seriously, "I have no interest in dating or getting married."

Lin Xiang really believed it this time. One, two, three... maybe even many others, could not conquer this man whom she loved so much.

Should she give up too?

"Old He! You're here?" A surprised voice came from not far away. Zhang Huafeng ran over and finally saw He Hongyuan and Lin Xiang in the dim night. "I thought you really didn't care, but it seems you are still thinking about your partner? You came here specially to see if Lin Xiang suffered any loss."

He Hongyuan turned his head and glanced at him, then said in a low voice, "Can't you learn to shut up?"

Zhang Huafeng did something really stupid today. Well, I dare not offend him. I turned to Lin Xiang and said, "Comrade Lin Xiang, Meng Jing and Jiang Xiurong didn't make things difficult for you, did they? It's all my fault for being quick-witted. I told everyone that you were Lao He's girlfriend. Meng Jing and Jiang Xiurong have good families and bad tempers. I was worried that they would cause trouble for you. Fortunately..."

The last glance to the side speaks for itself...

Fortunately, He Hongyuan came to rescue you.

Lin Xiang was a little hesitant. Did He Hongyuan really come to save her after hearing about this?

Just as she raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her, she heard He Hongyuan say coldly: "I came to see Zhou Lu for something."

Okay, they still want to distance themselves from the matter.

Lin Xiang did not force it.

"Whether it is or not, I will take it as it is." Lin Xiang's eyes were full of smiles, letting the moonlight linger on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, or a little joy overflowing, "I'll treat you to lychees."

Lin Xiang, who was offering flowers, took out three lychees from the bag and placed them in the air, signaling He Hongyuan, who was unmoved, to raise his hand with her eyes.

He Hongyuan was stared at by her sharp eyes, as if he saw the moonlight of tonight in her eyes, lingering with clear brilliance. He slightly shifted his gaze, but in the end he still opened his palm, letting three lychees fall into his palm and slide down his slender and tender pink fingertips.

Lin Xiang's fingers were slender, with pink and white crescent-shaped fingertips. When she withdrew her hand, she retreated hastily, inadvertently brushing against the man's rough palm, causing a tingling sensation on the thin cloth.

The itch was fleeting, as if it was just a wisp of breeze passing by. He Hongyuan raised his eyelids, withdrew his hand, clenched it into a fist, and pressed his fingertips against his palm, his eyes moving slightly.

"Comrade Zhang, you're welcome to eat too."

However, Lin Xiang's soft voice rang in his ears, and she also handed three lychees to Zhang Huafeng: "Thank you for coming to see me."

"It's okay, I didn't keep my mouth shut first!" Zhang Huafeng thought that Comrade Lin Xiang was really nice and polite. His sister-in-law was a good sister-in-law. This brother...

After Lin Xiang left, he turned to look at He Hongyuan, thinking that today's events should be over, and was about to peel lychees to sweeten his mouth.

Unexpectedly, He Hongyuan, who was cheerful just now, looked serious, and even a little unhappy upon closer inspection. He reached out and snatched the three lychees in his hand.

"Based on what you did today, you still want to eat?" He Hongyuan said coldly.

"Hey!" Zhang Huafeng was furious and chased after He Hongyuan. "My sister-in-law didn't blame me, so why did you take my fruit? He Hongyuan, how can you find a wife with your temper? You are so embarrassed!"

…

After a tiring day, Lin Xiang returned to the guesthouse and peeled and ate several lychees. The long-lost, crystal clear, soft and glutinous lychee flesh was extremely sweet. Although it was a wild fruit, it seemed to be sweeter than those sold in stores in later generations.

I saved a small portion for tomorrow's meal, and then went downstairs to take a bath in the public bathhouse. The military area was much better, and it was much more convenient to take a bath.

After packing up and returning to the room, Lin Xiang lay on the bed thinking about the future. He Hongyuan was very resistant to child marriage, and he had faced too many excellent suitors before and remained unmoved, so Lin Xiang had to face the difficulties.

If her relationship with him really had to end in vain, she would have to find a way to stay.

Xifeng City doesn't want to go back, Phnom Penh suits her needs in every way!

Trying to find a job here, or another blind date?

There must be a way when the car reaches the mountain.

But it's better to win this man, after all, it's so rare to find a man who can completely meet your aesthetic standards.

She didn't enjoy anything in her previous life, so it's not too much for her to eat something good in this life!

However, just after Lin Xiang fell into a deep sleep, she had a very long dream.

In her dream, she finally knew the main story of the novel she had traveled through, and her original self, Lin Xiang, was just a very small supporting character.

And He Hongyuan in the book is actually——!!!
