Bai Lishuang frowned slightly and was about to say that she didn't want to, but Zhang Bowen immediately replied anxiously, "Of course I am willing, but can I ask why?"
It was not like this when the two met in the cafeteria yesterday, but today they suddenly changed their minds.
Zhang Bowen felt flattered but also very surprised.
"You asked me to go home with you and rejected that girl from the art troupe. That must be a sign that you like me, right?"
Bai Lishuang's analysis was not chaotic at all. "My comrade told me last night that if he didn't like you, he should have rejected you earlier. I thought about it and if the person I was dating was you, I would still be happy with it."
"So we can date first and see if it's a good fit."
Bai Lishuang finished her words in one go and then waited for Zhang Bowen's answer.
Shen Youran swallowed his saliva and turned to look at Qin Ruxue beside him, "What did you two talk about last night? We tried to persuade her for so long, but she still couldn't figure it out. How did you open up her meridians?"
She and Qin Ruxue had mentioned it before, but Bai Lishuang had never thought about it.
What happened today?
"I just said that if you don't like someone, don't waste their time."
"Then I fell asleep. Who knew she could do this!" Qin Ruxue really had no idea.
Bai Lishuang didn't tell her anything this morning!
She is totally confused now!
"That's good," Shen Youran nodded after reacting, "Let's see if we're suitable for each other and the world together. If not, then goodbye. Don't waste each other's time."
Qin Ruxue nodded woodenly beside her.
You're right, that's cool!
While they were still in a daze, Zhang Bowen and Bai Lishuang had already explained the situation.
"Thank you, Comrade Bai. Please give me a chance. I will definitely not let you down. Can we go see a movie this Saturday?" Zhang Bowen's heart was pounding. He never thought that this day would come.
Bai Lishuang thought that since they were already in a relationship, it was normal to watch a movie, so she agreed.
After saying these words quickly, Bai Lishuang walked towards Shen Youran and Qin Ruxue, "Let's go, didn't you just say you wanted to sit by the training ground for a while?"
Shen Youran and Qin Ruxue swallowed saliva frantically.
They really don't understand Bai Lishuang.
"You just confessed your feelings to Platoon Leader Zhang?" Shen Youran frowned. Bai Lishuang nodded. "Yes, Xiaoxue woke me up. I plan to try to get along with him because I think he's a very good candidate for a relationship."
"Sister, you won't blame me for not telling you in advance, right?" Bai Lishuang touched her nose, "I just figured it out this morning, so I was a little impulsive just now!"
"No."
Shen Youran waved her hand and said, "You are an adult. You have your own choice. Just do what you want!"
Bai Lishuang nodded, and the three of them went to sit beside the training ground to talk.
We sat there talking and laughing for a while, and then we started training.
The training days after that became more difficult because winter was coming and the weather was cold, and there was a heavy snow.
Due to heavy snow, the training was temporarily stopped. Shen Youran invited Qin Ruxue and others to his home for hotpot.
Zhao Dazhuang and Mo Xiaoyun were both there. Mo Xiaoyun had been pregnant for more than six months and would give birth soon after the New Year. It was very lively with a group of people gathered at home.
Shen Youran deliberately made a simmered hot pot and put whatever dishes she liked in it to cook.
The pot was bubbling with steam and it was snowing heavily outside. Bai Lishuang held her chin with one hand and looked out the window. "I suddenly want to go home. How about we go call our parents?"
The Chinese New Year is about half a month away. They have a holiday this year and can go back together, but Bai Lishuang still misses them a little.
Shen Youran also had the same idea, so she washed her hands and greeted them, then took Naituanzi and dressed her up, and they went outside together to make a phone call.
Lin Xiujuan had known that it was snowing heavily here, and she was a little shocked when she received the call.
"Why are you still coming out to make a phone call? Go back quickly. You will be back for the New Year in half a month!" Lin Xiujuan and Bai Zhenguo lived in a staff housing compound and school dormitory respectively. Later, they discussed and bought a small courtyard not far from the staff housing compound.
There were two or three more rooms in the house, which could be used for Shen Youran and Naituanzi to live in. The whole family celebrated the New Year in the new house.
The decoration is almost done now. Lin Xiujuan will take care of the details in a couple of days. Shen Youran will definitely feel like home.
When I heard them calling, I knew they must be braving the heavy snow, so I persuaded them to go back.
"hey-hey!"
Bai Lishuang's ears were red from the cold. She kept walking back and forth beside the phone booth but still smiled, "I missed you guys a little bit. Let's eat hot pot together today."
"I just had a sudden thought and wanted to call you. My sister and Junjun came together." Bai Lishuang was holding the phone. Lin Xiujuan became even more anxious when she heard it. "It's okay for you two to fool around, but why did you bring Junjun out? Go back and eat!"
Listening to Lin Xiujuan's caring words, Shen Youran and Bai Lishuang looked at each other, asked Junjun to call her grandma twice, then said a few words quickly before hanging up.
Bai Lishuang kept rubbing her hands, "Let's go, let's go back quickly, we are freezing to death!"
Shen Youran took off her scarf and handed it to her. "I'm not particularly cold. I'll hold Junjun. Let's go back quickly. The hot pot should be almost cooked."
"Did you call Captain Lu?"
When they were almost at the bottom of the staff quarters building, Bai Lishuang suddenly asked a question. Shen Youran blinked, as if she hadn't remembered it.
"It's Uncle Lu!"
Just when Shen Youran was thinking about whether to call for help, Naituanzi looked into the distance and said, "Uncle Lu is here, Mom!"
Naituanzi pulled Shen Youran's clothes. She turned around and saw Lu Zheng walking out of the snow. He was wearing a thick coat and carrying a lot of things in his hands.
"Why are you here?"
Shen Youran walked over quickly, feeling a little guilty and remorseful.
The two of them have been dating for almost a few months, but she still forgets about him sometimes!
What on earth is she doing?
"I was worried that you didn't have enough warm stuff, so I sent some over to you and Junjun." Lu Zheng handed the things in his hand forward, and Shen Youran pulled him along. "Come upstairs with me to eat. I made hot pot today. Let's talk after dinner."
Shen Youran said with a bit of embarrassment, "I called Sister Xiaoyun and the others early in the morning, but I was probably too busy and forgot about you."
Lu Zheng didn't mind following Shen Youran and the others upstairs.
As soon as the door opened, Mo Xiaoyun and the others looked over. After seeing Lu Zheng, Zhao Dazhuang stood up and greeted him.
"Don't be so polite. There is no leader here today." Lu Zheng put his things in the corner and then took off his coat. The room was very warm. There was a steaming hot pot and a variety of fresh vegetables on the table, which made people salivate.
Zhao Dazhuang sat down, and everyone sat around the table, eating vegetables and talking.
"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Next year should be good!" Mo Xiaoyun looked out the window with a hint of emotion. Zhao Dazhuang touched his chin, "I think you should give birth to a daughter this time. If it is true, then we should call her Ruixue?"
"It seems that Brother Dazhuang likes daughters!" Shen Youran teased.
Da Zhuang smiled and answered honestly: "I like both sons and daughters. I think this name is nice."
Everyone started to make a noise.
Finally, Zhao Dazhuang's face turned red, and Shen Youran told him not to tease him anymore.
Mo Xiaoyun also liked the name, so the matter was happily settled.
After eating the hot pot, Shen Youran set up a stove and everyone sat inside to chat. Bai Lishuang whispered to Qin Ruxue, "I'll tell my dad when I get home this time and ask him to come and see Lu Zheng and give them a grand wedding. What do you think?"
