Chapter 19

Lin Xiang had a long dream, in which she learned that her original body was a minor supporting role in this period novel.

The reason why her life is briefly mentioned is because she was the childhood sweetheart of the stubborn Black Moonlight, whom the heroine of the novel longed for all her life but could not get.

That’s right, Lin Xiang’s childhood sweetheart He Hongyuan is the dark moonlight of the heroine in the original book!

Jiang Zhenghao and Meng Jing, who met Lin Xiang one after another today, are the original male and female protagonists of this book.

Both of them come from military families, their fathers hold high positions, they have good family backgrounds, they are also outstanding in their abilities and looks, and they are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

However, Meng Jing had been attracted to He Hongyuan, a tough, handsome man with excellent combat ability, since she came to Langhua Island as a military doctor three years ago.

However, due to various reasons, He Hongyuan developed a stubborn, cold, gloomy personality. He was ruthless in his actions, vindictive, hard-line, and conceited. He hated being bossed around the most and was used to keeping everything in his hands.

Si treated Meng Jing, the original heroine, and other lesbians who showed interest in him coldly and rejected them mercilessly. As a young lady, Meng Jing had never suffered such injustice before, so she became more and more courageous and pursued He Hongyuan closely.

She was obsessed with He Hongyuan, but Jiang Zhenghao always loved her deeply.

As a result, Jiang Zhenghao's relationship with He Hongyuan became much more distant, and he was extremely angry at He Hongyuan for being so ungentlemanly.

The heroine of the original book likes and pursues He Hongyuan, which makes the hero angry with He Hongyuan. However, He Hongyuan still goes his own way, focusing on the battlefield and refusing anyone to approach him.

Until the later stages, Meng Jing was heartbroken. At the same time, after being hurt several times by He Hongyuan's rejection, it was Jiang Zhenghao who comforted her. The two of them finally ended the bloody entanglement of him loving her and her loving him that had lasted for many years, and finally got married.

He Hongyuan was also regarded by many readers as a disaster, cold and ruthless, which delayed the hero and heroine in the book for many years before they were together. He even did many things that ordinary people would not dare to do.

However, the author gave He Hongyuan outstanding appearance and abilities, which naturally attracted another group of readers. Some people like Jiang Zhenghao, who is high-spirited, humorous, and can get along with everyone, while others like He Hongyuan, who is calm, tough, a little gloomy, and has a bad temper. The debate continued for a while.

At the end of the book, the male and female protagonists are successful in their careers and love, just like a perfect couple. However, after retiring from the army, He Hongyuan became a business tycoon, but he has been alone. I don't know whether this is a perfect or a flawed relationship.

In the end, Meng Jing, who had forgiven He Hongyuan, only commented on his eccentric, stubborn and indifferent personality. He was able to refuse the promotion from his superiors and give up everything. In the later period, he dared to be stubborn and arrogant to go against the political bigwigs. His willful character made him successful, but also backfired on him.

In short, He Hongyuan, the male supporting character in the book, has extraordinary achievements, but his words and deeds are radical. He has many critics and many praises, making him the most mysterious and controversial character in the novel.

In the early morning, when the sky was dim, a ray of golden light broke through the clouds, and from the edge of the window curtains that were not tightly closed, golden fragments fell to the ground.

Lin Xiang squinted because of the sunlight and finally woke up from her dream.

After being stunned for a moment, she felt a slight headache. After all, she had received too much information at once and it was difficult for her to sort out the details.

She only remembered the sentence in the book: due to various reasons, Meng Jing and other lesbians could never enter He Hongyuan's heart. So far, he has become the dark moonlight that Meng Jing has been looking for but cannot get in her youth. It is also the best evidence that the male and female protagonists finally see their own hearts after years of entanglement and their love is stronger than gold.

Many years later, the hero and heroine have achieved success and fame. Recalling the past, they meet He Hongyuan, who has also become a big boss but is alone. They have completely let it go.

Thus, He Hongyuan becomes the contrast between the two in the readers' eyes. He is outstanding in all aspects but is always alone. In addition, he has a cold and weird personality and seems to be unhappy. The male and female protagonists, on the other hand, have achieved success in both their careers and love.

Even though Meng Jing, who was the protagonist in the original book, spent a lot of time and energy but still failed to pursue He Hongyuan, Lin Xiang now had deep doubts about herself.

Can I really?

Are you overthinking it?

Moreover, in the later part of the book, He Hongyuan's temperament becomes even more stubborn and gloomy, and anyone who is within five meters of him will feel cold to him.

I'm a little scared, maybe I picked the wrong person!

Besides, he hated being pushed around the most, so coming to him with a marriage certificate in hand to get married was just asking for death?!

Lin Xiang got up and thought silently. Today she was going to the tailor shop to get some clothes, and then go buy some clothes from Zhou Yuezhu.

The girl was going to buy some pretty clothes to attend a military gathering in a few days. She looked very excited and I guess she already had someone in mind.

Before going to the tailor shop to get the clothes, Lin Xiang ordered two taels of Yangchun noodles at the state-owned hotel, spending □□ bills and eight cents.

I've had a very dry life in the past period of time. I couldn't eat well or sleep well, but now I can finally relax a little.

She just has to find a way to gain a firm foothold in Phnom Penh.

The state-owned tailor's craftsmanship was pretty good, better than Lin Xiang's anyway. He cut a seven-foot piece of dark red cloth into a slim-fitting, short-sleeved, double-breasted jacket with fine stitching and neat cutting, which looked very good.

What's more, this is Lin Xiang's first new piece of clothing since she came into this world!

After a simple try-on, the clothes were rinsed and hung in the guesthouse for half a day. When they were almost dry, Lin Xiang put on the new clothes and felt the joy of wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year when she was a child. Before leaving, she remembered something and prepared a bag to carry with her.

When Zhou Yuezhu and Lin Xiang met, they saw that her cousin's wife was wearing a dark red short-sleeved double-breasted jacket. The bright color made her look as white as snow, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Sister Xiangxiang, your new dress is so beautiful!" Zhou Yuezhu's voice always rose at the end of her voice, always with a bit of childish coquettishness, which often made people feel happy, as if her words were always more sincere than others. "No, it's because you are good-looking that this dress looks better."

"Yuezhu, did you eat some candy before going out today?" Lin Xiangqiu's watery eyes revealed a smile, and her dark eyes were like glass soaked in water.

"No." Zhou Yuezhu blinked in confusion and said, "I didn't eat any candy today."

"I thought you had eaten candy, otherwise why would your mouth be so sweet!" Lin Xiang laughed.

Zhou Yuezhu was stunned by Lin Xiang's words. After a moment, he realized what he was saying and raised his eyebrows: "Oh, cousin, what are you talking about!"

With laughter and joy, the two went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Zhou Yuezhu carefully selected the fabrics over and over again. Her parents held high positions in the military region, and the service worker at the supply and marketing cooperative was a soldier's wife. Her husband happened to be under the command of Brigade Commander Zhou, so he kept good and beautiful fabrics for Zhou Yuezhu and her daughter.

"Sister Xiangxiang, which one do you think I should choose? I used to like wearing pink." Compared to going out shopping with her mother, she actually prefers to go out with sisters of similar age.

Lin Xiang took a look at Zhou Yuezhu. This girl was slender, with fair skin and delicate facial features like a pretty girl from a small family. She was especially adorable when she smiled, with her round smile that made people feel good about her at first sight.

"This goose yellow fabric should suit you, you can try it." Such a lovely girl is suitable for the lively goose yellow color.

Facts have proved that Lin Xiang has a good eye. When Zhou Yuezhu went to the tailor shop to measure the size, she measured the cloth on her body and felt very satisfied. She agreed with the tailor to pick it up the next day.

"Yuezhu, are you planning to wear beautiful clothes to the social gathering to find someone you like?" Lin Xiang also heard that the military social gathering is held once a year and can solve many people's personal problems.

Therefore, many people prepare early, hoping to find a good partner.

"No way!" Zhou Yuezhu's face flushed. She was not very good at lying. Her almond-shaped eyes rolled around. "I just went to see what was going on."

"Will your cousin go?" Lin Xiang asked subconsciously.

"He won't go! The military holds a large-scale social gathering every year, but my cousin has never been there, which has broken the hearts of many female comrades!" Zhou Yuezhu talked about her cousin, "Don't worry, Sister Xiangxiang, it's even more impossible for him to go this time, after all, you're here."

Lin Xiang smiled bitterly in her heart. Herself? Even Meng Jing, who had an endless halo of the heroine and a basket of suitors behind her, had no weight in his heart. How could a marginal supporting role like her have such ability?

"By the way, this is the salted duck eggs that Aunt He packed. You can bring it to your cousin when you have time." After all, it was made by Aunt He, so she had to bring it to someone.

Zhou Yuezhu knew that Second Aunt’s salted duck eggs were especially delicious, so she ate them last night. She looked at the oil paper bag and grabbed Lin Xiang’s hand and was about to run: “Why wait for another day? Let’s go find him now!”

Lin Xiang:?

Ever since Lin Xiang had the dream about the plot in the book, she analyzed it rationally and thought that this big man in the book was difficult to conquer, so she had to find another way.

Although she felt a little regretful, she couldn't force He Hongyuan to be with her. She considered finding a job and staying here. Otherwise, there were many soldiers here and she could go on blind dates with them!

Zhou Yuezhu brought Lin Xiang to the military single dormitory. Her father was Brigade Commander Zhou, and she herself would soon be assigned to work in the military's logistics department. After registering, she came here under the pretext of visiting relatives.

But Lin Xiang had never been to a military dormitory before. She followed Zhou Yuezhu, who was very familiar with the place, up to the third floor. She saw soldiers coming and going everywhere. It was really a bunch of tough guys!

She and Zhou Yuezhu also attracted attention when they appeared here. After all, most of the female comrades who came to the dormitory to hang out were doctors and nurses from the military hospital in the army, or female soldiers from the art troupe. Now two beautiful girls appeared in eye-catching casual clothes, and the soldiers who were familiar with Zhou Yuezhu started to joke with them.

"Comrade Zhou Yuezhu, are you here to see Shen Jianming or He Hongyuan?"

The one who teased Zhou Yuezhu was the instructor of the 1st Brigade, who was also familiar with Brigade Zhou. He looked at Zhou Yuezhu as if she were his junior, and he also knew that Zhou Yuezhu and He Hongyuan were related.

"Of course I'm looking for Captain He! Instructor Yang, please don't talk nonsense. Shen Jianming and I are not familiar with each other!" Zhou Yuezhu glared at him secretly.

While the two were talking, several young soldiers came over. They all knew Zhou Yuezhu, but not Lin Xiang. They asked with sparkling eyes: "Zhou Yuezhu, who is this? Is she a relative of yours? Why don't you introduce her?"

Zhou Yuezhu was busy protecting her cousin's wife. She couldn't let them take her cousin's wife away: "No introduction! You bachelors, stay away!"

She doesn't know the power of this gang! She wants to find a wife!

Everyone: “…”

Lin Xiang:?

Lin Xiang felt embarrassed being stared at by so many people. The soldiers didn't mean any harm to her, but there was a flash of surprise in their eyes. They stared at her with a bit of admiration, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Look at what you said, this is caring about the masses!" A brave and handsome soldier strode forward and took the initiative to greet, "Hello comrade, are you a relative of Zhou Yuezhu? Where are you from? Do you have a partner? Are you married? I am Song Wei, deputy battalion commander of the third battalion of the fifth regiment of the second brigade of the 119th division. I am 22 years old this year..."

"Song Wei!"

A deep voice from the corridor interrupted the generous speech of this handsome soldier who was boldly pursuing love, and also made Lin Xiang breathe a sigh of relief.

These soldiers are so passionate!

"Congratulations!" Song Wei was moved when he saw the female comrade next to Zhou Yuezhu. Such a beautiful girl actually came to the military region, and he didn't even want to attend the social gathering as a single man.

Adhering to the principle of taking action when it is necessary, he immediately went forward to talk.

Just kidding. I'm surrounded by men every day, and finally I meet a lesbian who makes my blush and heart beat fast at the first sight. I have to be steady, accurate and ruthless when I take action, otherwise I'll never be able to solve my personal problems in this life.

However, he was interrupted by the dignified congratulatory group after he had said just two sentences.

He hates it!

He turned around and could only salute the congratulatory delegation respectfully.

He Hongyuan glanced at him calmly and said with his thin lips: "A soldier should look like a soldier. How can you look like a peacock spreading its tail?"

Song Wei: ...unfair!

He Hongyuan's words made the other soldiers present who were originally eager to give it a try burst out laughing. Looking at Song Wei again, he was really like a peacock... Hahahaha, so funny.

Lin Xiang didn't expect that He Hongyuan's serious scolding would create some comedy effect. She also curled her lips, and her eyes and eyebrows were filled with smiles.

However, a sharp gaze seemed to linger on her face. She couldn't bear it anymore and quietly raised her eyes to the left, but she ran straight into He Hongyuan's dark eyes without any warmth.

With the corners of his lips lowered, Lin Xiang also became obedient and didn't dare to laugh secretly anymore.

This future boss is really scary! He is awe-inspiring without even getting angry, and his majesty is overwhelming!

When Captain He arrived, the soldiers did not dare to chat and laugh with the female comrades under his nose. They could only raise their hands to salute and slip away.

"Come with me." He Hongyuan said coldly, then turned and left.

Zhou Yuezhu and Lin Xiang knew they were being called out, so they had no choice but to follow. For some reason, Lin Xiang suddenly felt guilty. She had done nothing just now, but Comrade Song Wei came up to talk to her, and she didn't even say a word. How could she feel like she had done something wrong?

Could this be the aura of the future big boss!

Fortunately, Yuezhu is here. She is always smart and will definitely be able to comfort her cousin.

But when they arrived at the door of He Hongyuan's dormitory, Zhou Yuezhu was ready to run away, and whispered in Lin Xiang's ear: "Sister Xiangxiang, don't be afraid, use your cousin's aura to calm my cousin, I still have things to do."

She had come to talk to Shen Jianming today on the pretext of visiting her cousin, otherwise her parents would not agree if they knew.

As soon as Zhou Yuezhu left, she pushed Lin Xiang into He Hongyuan's room and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xiang staggered two steps, and when she stood firm, she looked up and saw a man in military uniform standing in front of her, looking at her with burning eyes.
