Qin Ye watched the lively scene, seeing Su Tang moving with ease and a charming smile among the crowd.
She was initially worried that he would be too lonely after moving in, since he had to go to work every day. Now that she knows some military dependents, she feels less lonely.
The two discussed waiting until after the New Year, when the weather was warmer, so that Su Tang's maternal grandmother and uncle in Shanghai could also come over.
We'll have a proper wedding later, but we can get the marriage certificate first, which will put our minds at ease.
Qin Ye thought to himself that although the marriage application was a sure thing, according to the old rules of the army, there was still one last hurdle to overcome.
A detailed premarital medical examination report.
This is not only in response to the national call for eugenics, but also to take responsibility for the health of both individuals.
Qin Ye looked at Su Tang and brought up the matter himself.
"Tomorrow, we're going to the hospital for a check-up."
Su Tang was examining a small piece of wood that Qin Ye had just polished when she heard this and looked up:
“Sure, a physical exam is good.” She drawled, “It’ll be a good opportunity for some comrades to prove… whether my body is fully recovered or not.”
Her gaze swept over Qin Ye meaningfully, especially lingering on his long legs.
Qin Ye's face suddenly felt hot.
This girl is getting bolder and bolder!
He coughed lightly, straightened his face, and tried to maintain his authority as Commander Qin:
"Rumors stop with the wise. I'm perfectly healthy and don't need to prove it."
Su Tang almost burst out laughing at his arrogant demeanor, but she maintained a serious expression.
“I’m not making this up. I did receive a letter from your family back then, it was written down in black and white.”
Qin Ye was taken aback. In black and white? When did he send a letter to the Su family?
After Su's mother passed away, the two families had much less contact.
He suddenly realized that the version he had heard was just as outrageous!
"What I heard is that your eldest daughter, Su, is as frail as a piece of paper, and is extremely precious. She can't even withstand the wind here, and has to be waited on hand and foot the whole way here!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the air seemed to freeze.
The two stared at each other, completely bewildered.
Once the information from both sides is compared, the truth becomes clear instantly.
Someone is spreading lies between them, deliberately creating misunderstandings, hoping that the two of them will dislike each other.
One person thinks the other is "not good enough," and the other thinks the other is "too delicate." It would be best if this marriage were to fall through.
Qin Ye's mind raced, and details he had previously overlooked flashed before his eyes like scenes from a movie.
When he was hospitalized with his leg injury, Yan Manman was indeed overly "concerned".
She served tea and water every day, showing concern and care, but the questions she asked now seem rather eerie in retrospect.
"Commander Qin, your injury... won't affect your life in the future, right?"
"How's the recovery going? Please don't let it leave any lasting effects!"
At the time, he didn't think much of it, assuming that the woman was just concerned about her comrade-in-arms and was being a little too enthusiastic.
Especially that time when his mother, He Shumin, came to visit him and talked about his fiancée in Shanghai with a beaming smile, Yan Manman's smile froze instantly.
"It's Yan Manman!" Qin Ye blurted out.
A fire suddenly ignited in his heart.
This woman is truly wicked.
Su Tang looked at his face, which was bulging with anger.
Her eyes were calm and unwavering, and she simply replied, "It seems that this Dr. Yan not only has a deep affection for Commander Qin, but she is also quite narrow-minded."
"Jealousy can distort a person beyond recognition; the ancients were right."
She spoke casually, as if she were commenting on someone unrelated.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ye felt a pang in his heart, but more than anything, he felt lingering fear and guilt towards Su Tang.
"If this rumor gets out, it will not only ruin your reputation, but it will also almost turn us into a bitter couple."
The thought that he almost missed out on such a good wife as Su Tang because of these unfounded rumors made him very sad.
Qin Ye felt increasingly angry.
"No way! I'm going to the political department tomorrow! I want to report this to them personally! People with such filthy thoughts and depraved character don't deserve to stay in the military hospital, let alone be doctors."
