Jiang Linchuan ignored Xu Xinghe and said in an icy voice, "Give me the documents."
Lian Xiao walked forward with one hand in his pocket and slammed the document on the table. "Sign it."
The document, issued by the logistics department, allocates the house behind Jiang Linchuan to him for use when he enlists in the military. After he leaves, the document will automatically become invalid, the house will be reclaimed, and then allocated to the next person.
Jiang Linchuan didn't sign. Instead, he looked up at Lian Xiao, his voice low but firm, "This is the military office, not your Lian family compound. I don't care who you are, once you've entered this door, you should abide by military rules and report again!"
Lian Xiao already had an inexplicable dislike for him, and now it reached its peak. He pressed his tongue against his upper teeth and sneered, "Commander Jiang, are you trying to intimidate me with your official power? Do you think that trick will work on me?"
He's not buying it.
In terms of status, who can compare to his father?
Not to mention the commander, even higher-ranking leaders have to be polite to him!
Jiang Linchuan remained unfazed. He had seen plenty of troublemakers like this before. No matter how much they initially opposed him, they eventually became obedient and became his subordinates.
Here, there are no privileges, no status; all soldiers are treated equally.
Otherwise, go back to where you came from!
"Report again, shout 'Report!' Stand at attention and explain the reason clearly, otherwise I will not sign this document."
Sparks flew in Lian Xiao's eyes. "You really think you're someone important? Let me tell you, if my grandfather hadn't asked me to protect Xu Xinghe, do you think I'd be in this dump?"
Jiang Linchuan's eyes darkened instantly.
Protect Xu Xinghe?
So he can also be Xu Xinghe's backer, right?
Jiang Linchuan felt a tightness in his chest, and his voice grew even colder, "If you want to keep making trouble, I don't mind calling the Lian family."
Lian Xiao's face froze. Thinking of the consequences if his grandfather found out about this, he gritted his teeth in anger, "You're ruthless!"
He walked stiffly back to the door, strode back in, and said, "Report!"
He stood at attention, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth, "The logistics department's document, please have Commander Jiang sign it!"
Jiang Linchuan picked up a new pen next to him, quickly wrote his name, and said, "Get out."
Lian Xiao grabbed the documents and left, a lump in his throat that he couldn't swallow.
He turned to look at the closed office door and kicked it against the wall!
"What a load of rubbish! Xu Xinghe must be blind to have fallen for such an old-fashioned person!"
Inside the office.
Xu Xinghe's eyes sparkled and curved into crescent moons. "Jiang Linchuan, you were so handsome just now."
In that instant, the aura emanating from him made her feel extremely safe.
Jiang Linchuan recalled what Lian Xiao had just said, and felt a dull ache in his heart, as if a thorn had been stuck in it.
His knuckles turned white as he gripped the pen, and his temples throbbed. Finally, he swallowed hard and uttered only two words, "Get out!"
"I'm not leaving." Xu Xinghe wasn't afraid at all. She put the lunchbox on the table, opened it one by one, and took out two pairs of chopsticks by herself.
After setting everything out, she reached out and pinched Jiang Linchuan's sleeve. "I haven't eaten either, let's eat together. I specially bought it from the state-run restaurant in town, it's still warm..."
Jiang Linchuan recoiled as if he had been electrocuted when his soft fingertips suddenly touched the back of his hand.
He was already quite strong, and his movements were so vigorous that the lunchbox he was carrying on the corner of the table tumbled and rolled to the ground with a clatter.
Soup and water were spilled all over the floor, and oil stains splattered onto Xu Xinghe's red woolen coat, instantly soaking a small area.
Xu Xinghe stared blankly at the food on the ground, without making a move.
A sense of panic welled up in Jiang Linchuan's heart, his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably, and the word "sorry" hovered on his lips.
But when his gaze fell upon her downcast eyes and the way Lian Xiao had said he would protect her, the words he was about to say instantly took on a different meaning.
"Don't waste your time, I won't eat anything you give me."
This incident was a perfect opportunity to drive the person away.
Let her realize the difficulty and back down, so she won't keep playing with her.
They should have been like strangers, with no further entanglement between them.
Jiang Linchuan turned his face away, refusing to look at Xu Xinghe's reddened eyes, suppressing the indescribable sadness and regret in his heart.
Xu Xinghe finally slowly raised her head. Her eyes, which were always smiling, were now filled with tears, which were about to fall.
She sniffed, looking aggrieved. "If you don't want to eat, just say so! Why waste food? I haven't eaten yet, I'm hungry! I don't care, go get the food, hurry up! Otherwise, I'll starve to death here, and everyone will know that you, a dignified commander, actually won't feed your fiancée!"
Jiang Linchuan hadn't expected her to react this way. He stared at her for a few seconds, then said, "Impossible!"
Xu Xinghe immediately turned around and opened the office door. "Everyone, come and see! Commander Jiang isn't giving me food! He's going to starve me to death here! He..."
Bang!
A strong force pulled her back.
Then, the door slammed shut.
Hot breath fell behind my ear.
"Xu Xinghe!"
Jiang Linchuan is really angry!
How can someone be so spoiled!
They always have to shout it out so the whole world knows!
Jiang Linchuan's palm pressed against the door, his broad chest almost completely enveloping Xu Xinghe.
The thin distance between the two made even the air seem thick.
"Have you made enough of a scene?!"
His voice was extremely low, filled with suppressed anger, and his hot breath fell on her ear, startling Xu Xinghe into a slight tremor.
Her nape was almost touching the buttons on Jiang Linchuan's chest.
Jiang Linchuan stared at her reddened earlobes, his throat bobbed, and he immediately withdrew his grip on the door.
Xu Xinghe turned around, puffed out her chest, and said, "I wasn't making a scene. You spilled my lunch, shouldn't you buy me a meal?"
"Fine, I'll buy it!" Jiang Linchuan was completely defeated.
He wasn't as shameless as Xu Xinghe, who dared to say anything.
Just as he picked up the intercom, Xu Xinghe quickly pressed the button, "Wait, you have to go buy it yourself! Don't forget, I bought the food I brought myself, and I even brought it back from town! I'm already being lenient by letting you get a new one from the cafeteria, hurry up!"
She sat down in the chair opposite her, arms crossed, and said, "I'm very hungry, I hope you can hurry up."
Jiang Linchuan slammed down the phone and turned to leave the office.
The cafeteria was bustling with noise.
Jiang Linchuan came to the window and his gaze fell on the plate.
"One serving of each dish, two steamed buns. Also, one serving of sticky rice and one serving of red bean soup, to go."
The woman serving the food smiled as she filled the container with rice and put it in. "Oh my, having a wife really makes a difference. She knows what young girls like to eat now."
Jiang Linchuan's body stiffened.
He was still as tall and strong as before, but the murderous aura around him was nowhere to be seen.
Hearing this, the military wives behind leaned out and said, "It's true, but I've never seen Commander Jiang eat sticky rice before."
Sticky rice is made from a mixture of millet and glutinous millet. It's sticky, oily, and has been specially mixed with white sugar, making it sweet to eat.
Jiang Linchuan picked up the lunchbox and left, his steps quick.
He had a premonition that the news of him getting his own food today would soon spread and become common knowledge.
Xu Xinghe... is truly his nemesis!
