"It's a pleasure to help others," Jiang Feifei smiled innocently. "Who could bear to refuse such a pitiful girl?"
Song Ning sneered, "Stop pretending. You're trying to use her against me."
Jiang Feifei is troublesome enough, and Song Xue is no pushover either.
The thought of the two of them working together gave Song Ning a headache.
"Song Ning, how could you think of me so badly?"
Jiang Feifei laughed, a loud laugh.
Song Ning immediately picked up her plate, turned around, and left for another seat.
Just then, Huo Beian also came over with his tray, and the two sat down together, chatting and laughing as they ate.
Seeing that Song Ning was unhappy, Huo Beian asked, "Wife, what's wrong?"
"Do you remember my stepsister from the south of the city? She came to the army canteen. I'm worried..."
Huo Beian glanced at the cafeteria window and saw that, indeed, a new woman had arrived.
He remembered meeting her once when he went to the Song family to propose marriage.
"Is your wife worried that she'll go against you? Don't worry, with me here, she can't cause any trouble."
Huo Beian quickly comforted her.
"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. She and Jiang Feifei are probably having an affair. This job in the cafeteria was arranged for her by Jiang Feifei."
Thinking about this, Song Ning lost her appetite.
Huo Beian patted her on the back, "Don't worry, wife. I'm here. No matter what happens, I will do everything I can to protect you."
"Um."
Song Ning then lowered her head and ate her food.
Huo Beian suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, do you still remember Meng Yuming? He's one of my soldiers."
"I remember. What's wrong?"
"There's a chance to promote him to platoon leader recently. He'll be the one if nothing unexpected happens."
"Oh. That has nothing to do with me."
"I'm just letting you know. He's been getting quite close to Jiang Feifei lately, so be careful."
"Okay." Song Ning nodded thoughtfully.
She didn't have much interaction with Meng Yuming; the most they ever talked about was when she was drugged.
He never took advantage of her vulnerability that time, and he probably would never do anything to her.
But it's also best to be on guard.
...
Meng Yuming also came over with his tray to get his food. When Song Xue saw him, she specially gave him an extra spoonful of rice and vegetables.
He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a soldier behind him call out, "Hey, Meng Yuming, I heard you're about to be promoted to platoon leader, congratulations!"
"It's not even close to being done yet."
"Oh dear, it's almost perfect."
Hearing everyone flatter Meng Yuming, Song Xue's big eyes began to dart around.
She initially thought Meng Yuming was just an ordinary soldier, but now it seems he has potential.
After all, Meng Yuming looks quite young, and his future prospects are limitless.
And he's handsome too.
If I can hook up with him, then I'll have a long-term meal ticket in the future.
Thinking of this, a shrewd calculation flashed in Song Xue's eyes.
night.
After finishing her shift at the canteen, Song Xue deliberately lingered near the entrance of the military dormitory.
When he saw Meng Yuming come out, he went up to him to greet him.
"Meng Yuming".
Meng Yuming was walking with a few soldiers when he heard someone calling him, so he came over.
The others were all making a fuss.
"Hey, Meng Yuming, there's a pretty girl waiting for you."
"Who is that person? Could it be your sister-in-law?"
"Get lost, what are you doing, making a fuss over nothing?"
Meng Yuming blushed slightly, wondering what Song Xue wanted from him.
But I still went over there.
"What do you want from me?"
Song Xue was a little shy. She took two eggs out of her pocket and handed them to him.
"I can't eat this, you can have it. Keep it if you get hungry tonight."
"This... isn't quite right. I haven't done anything to deserve this reward."
At that time, the army's food was actually quite meager.
The food cost less than one yuan, and meat and eggs were only available occasionally on holidays.
But Song Xue said, "Thank you for fixing the light bulb for me that day."
"It's what I should do. Besides, you even served me extra food."
"Then I'll serve you extra food every day from now on."
"I can't accept this."
When Meng Yuming spoke, he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
I feel a little shy.
"By the way, I'm afraid to go back to my dorm by myself. It's dark there. Could you take me back?"
Song Xue said, feigning shyness.
Meng Yuming didn't react at first, but after he did, he immediately nodded.
"Okay. Come on, I'll take you there."
The two walked side by side down the road, and it was rather quiet along the way.
The moonlight shone on the two of them.
Being alone with a woman, Meng Yuming suddenly felt a surge of emotion.
This was the first time he had ever taken a walk with a girl at night.
I'm a little excited.
Song Xue was also a little shy at this moment.
As she walked, she came across a small pebble on the ground, and Song Xue involuntarily swayed and fell to the side of the road.
Meng Yuming quickly put his arm around her waist.
Are you alright?
"I'm fine, thank you, otherwise I would have twisted my ankle."
Meng Yuming quickly removed his hand, saying, "I'm sorry, I was just in a hurry and didn't mean to take advantage of you."
"It doesn't matter."
Song Xue was quite shy at that moment. Something occurred to her, and she asked, "By the way, Meng Yuming, do you... have a boyfriend?"
Meng Yuming scratched his head awkwardly, "No, I was originally engaged to someone I met as a child, but I ruined it myself."
