Miao Qihuai sensed something was wrong. Which girl was he planning to mess with this time?
She began, "The cultural troupe will participate, but the number of people allowed on stage is limited, so it will be a selection process. Battalion Commander Meng, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
If the best candidate is chosen to go on stage, does that mean she might not actually get to go on stage?
Meng Hongshen smiled faintly, "I'll be in the audience on the day of the arts performance, and I think... I'll see you down there."
If it weren't for the fact that the man in front of him was wearing a military uniform and he himself was wearing a white shirt from this era, Miao Qihuai would have doubted that he was still in modern times.
Because the person in front of me had such a scumbag-like way of saying things.
She suppressed her nausea and said, "It's a pity, Battalion Commander Meng. In terms of both looks and ability, I'm at the bottom of the cultural troupe. I probably won't be in the arts performance."
Meng Hongshen reassured him, "It's alright, keep up the good work. I believe Comrade Miao will be selected sooner or later."
Miao Qihuai rubbed his shoulders. "Thank you for your kind words, Battalion Commander Meng."
Meng Hongshen nodded. "Mm."
He paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Was the selection for this arts performance in your troupe based on appearance and talent?"
Miao Qihuai's alarm bells rang loudly. Had this exposed his true purpose?
I wonder which innocent girl in the performing arts troupe he's set his sights on this time.
Let her run into us then, and see how she acts as an obstacle!
Oh, heroine, please show up soon!
Miao Qihuai groaned and said, "Yes, but it would be best to have both."
The image of that figure and that fleeting glimpse flashed through Meng Hongshen's mind.
With such looks and such a figure, this person is definitely not just a pretty face.
Meng Hongshen's expression shifted slightly, and he said gently, "I understand, Comrade Miao, thank you."
He smiled and looked at the other person, "That's all my questions, Comrade Miao. I think you haven't been doing well lately, you should get some rest."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and was about to stand next to Miao Qihuai.
Miao Qihuai subconsciously took a few steps back, forcing a smile. "Battalion Commander Meng, I'm doing quite well lately. You've probably misunderstood something. By the way, if Battalion Commander Meng has no other questions, I'll be going now."
"Food is essential for life; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal. Tong Mengyun is still waiting for me in the mess hall. Goodbye, Battalion Commander Meng."
As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Qihuai practically took off running.
It's like Meng Hongshen can eat people.
Meng Hongshen stopped in his tracks, watching the figure disappear from sight in the distance, a deep meaning in his eyes.
Miao Qihuai seems to have become smarter.
Their attitude towards him underwent a complete transformation.
Something must have happened in between that led to this change in her.
Could it be because I've been too distant from her lately?
They say you have to give someone a sweet treat after you slap them. Meng Hongshen looked away. It seemed he would have to try to bump into her every day from now on.
After all, the other party still has value to him.
Meng Hongshen stroked his chin, thoughtfully adjusted the brim of his hat, and strode out of the alley.
...
At this time, in Yanjing (modern-day Beijing).
A girl dressed in a dress with a pure and innocent look was standing timidly next to a man dressed in a Zhongshan suit.
The man had a mature appearance and exuded the air of an upper-class person.
When his handsome features looked at the girl, a hint of unnaturalness appeared in them, a gentleness that perhaps even he himself didn't realize.
"Comrade Shang, have you thought it through?"
The girl, referred to as Comrade Shang, raised her head upon hearing this, but couldn't help lowering it again when she met the man's burning gaze.
She took a deep breath, as if she were making a decision she had considered for a long time.
"I...I've made up my mind."
"So, can you tell me what your decision is?"
The girl gritted her teeth, then boldly grabbed the man's sleeve.
"I've made up my mind, let's go in."
"Okay." The man gently squeezed her knuckles. "You still have time to back out before going in, but once..."
The young woman interrupted him firmly, "I don't regret it."
Her family wanted to make her a scapegoat simply because she was an adopted daughter. If it weren't for the prompting and help from the eldest daughter of the Su family next door, she might not have escaped Rongcheng, or perhaps...
She raised her head and looked at the man beside her, who was ten years older than her but inexplicably reassuring, and nodded solemnly, "If it weren't for your great help back then, I might not be standing here safely."
The man chuckled softly and patted her head.
The way the little girl talks is so funny.
"Shall we... go inside?"
"Uh-huh!"
Standing before them was the Civil Affairs Bureau.
...
Tong Mengyun, who hadn't seen Miao Qihuai for a long time, clung to his arm on the way back after dinner and started chattering away.
During this time, Tong Mengyun recounted what had happened at the post office.
Upon hearing the words "Comrade Su," Miao Qihuai paused slightly, suddenly recalling what had happened in the Gobi Desert.
She heard from the people in the performing arts troupe that the proud and arrogant Miss Gu seemed to have a new friend by her side.
And this friend is Su Miaoyan.
She couldn't help but ask, "Mengyun, is the Comrade Su you mentioned that the capitalist's daughter?"
"Yes, yes, you know her too?" Tong Mengyun asked in surprise.
Miao Qihuai said, "I wouldn't say we know each other, but we've met and exchanged greetings."
"Oh, where did you two meet?"
Miao Qihuai replied, "The Gobi Desert, I saw it while planting trees."
"Cough cough."
Tong Mengyun coughed twice. "Qi Huai, why are you planting trees again? Don't forget how you got the injury on your forehead. It was all because of that person. We can't afford to offend them, but can't we at least avoid them?"
Miao Qihuai waved his hand, "I'll get up from where I fall. I'm not afraid."
She will get her revenge on everyone who has bullied her; it's only a matter of time!
Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, without any sign of feeling wronged or bursting into tears, Tong Mengyun was stunned.
After a dozen seconds, she came to her senses and gripped Miao Qihuai's wrist tightly. "Qihuai, I've seen the changes in you, and I'm happy for you! By the way..."
As if remembering something, Tong Mengyun asked, "Why haven't I seen you going to see Battalion Commander Meng lately? Qi Huai, could it be that you really damaged your brain after you were injured, and you really don't remember what happened before?"
I don't remember.
Miao Qihuai didn't intend to tell the truth. She said, "I only remember that there was a Battalion Commander Meng, but I don't remember the specifics. Could it be... that I was very familiar with him before?"
This concerns a young woman's reputation, and Tong Mengyun dared not make a hasty judgment. Seeing that Miao Qihuai's expression did not seem fake, she breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:
