Chen Ruolan is already 28 years old this year. She has fair skin, beautiful looks and long legs. She is a typical cool and elegant lady.
Chen's father was very worried about her marriage, but his daughter had her own ideas, so he couldn't urge her and could only hint at her every day.
Looking at Tang Anan's fair and tender face, Chen Ruolan couldn't help but pinch it and said with a smile, "I came to talk to you and see if there is anything I can help you with."
"Our An An is so cute. I wonder which boy will take her away from me in the future."
Tang Anan put down the information in her hand and looked at the mature beauty in front of her. She held her chin with her palm, staring at her with her black eyes, a smile in her eyes, "I'm still young, I don't have such worries."
"As for you, Sister Ruolan, Uncle Chen has been arranging blind dates for you with many young men in the base recently, right?"
Upon hearing this, the curve of Chen Ruolan's mouth instantly collapsed. She sat across from Tang Anan and said distressedly, "My dad really worries about nothing. Before the end of our world, there were many unmarried women at the age of thirty."
"I guess my conditions are not bad. My father is worried that I won't be able to get married. Tell me, what's the situation outside now with this kind of thing?"
"I don't know when I will lose my life, so why should I drag others down with me?"
Tang Anan smiled and comforted him, "Okay, okay, I understand you. But I also know what Uncle Chen is worried about. He's worried that when he's gone, you won't be able to live well, and there won't be anyone to protect you."
Chen Ruolan's face was slightly moved. She said, "Did my dad tell you this?"
Tang Anan nodded: "When introducing the young man to you, Uncle Chen talked to me about it." She looked at Chen Ruolan and said seriously: "He was worried that you would feel lonely in the future."
Chen Ruolan lowered her eyes and sighed softly, "Most of us nowadays are helpless."
She looked out the window and saw the white clouds in the sky, like sails floating in the sea of sky.
"Don't be fooled by how safe we appear to be at the base," he lamented. "In reality, our human population is rapidly declining every year. Everyone lives in fear, so how can we live in peace?"
Chen Ruolan turned around and looked at Tang Anan, saying, "However, since meeting you, everyone's life has become more and more hopeful."
"I've heard that many people have escaped from other bases. Not only are they starving, but they also have to worry about being harmed by their own kind. Some small bases even resort to cannibalism to survive."
Her eyes were bright as she looked at the girl who looked like a god descended from the earth. "And in our base, as long as we work hard, we can exchange it for food and even habitable houses."
"An An, you are really great!"
Tang Anan smiled, feeling a little embarrassed by what she said. Her eyes were clear and bright as she said, "What you said is exactly what I have been aiming for for a long time."
“It’s not just my goal, it’s the result of all of our efforts.”
Tang Anan stood up and pulled her out. "Let's go see Brother Yan. He's been training the guards quite hard. It's so hot out here. Let's bring them some sugar water."
Being pulled by her, Chen Ruolan said in surprise: "An An, are you finally going to show up?"
Over the years, Tang Anan had been busy on numerous side quests, rescuing people and simply leaving them to their care. This repeated process meant that the people she rescued had only seen her once or twice.
Those who were not rescued by her but came in from outside basically had never seen her.
This is also how the rumors about Tang Anan's identity spread.
Tang Anan touched the tip of her nose and said, "I'm busy."
Chen Ruolan smiled, ruffling her soft black hair as he did when she was a child, and said, "Then you should listen carefully this time and see what they say about you as the base commander."
"You've been so busy participating in various projects at the base these past few years that you haven't had a chance to relax. Today is a perfect day to see the empire you've built!"
Her face was filled with joy, and as she spoke, she started to jog while pulling Tang Anan.
Tang Anan: "Wait, let's go get those sweet soups first."
Chen Ruolan exclaimed, "Ah!" "I almost forgot. Let's go straight to the kitchen and ask them to prepare it."
When the two of them arrived at the kitchen, Tang Anan said to her, "Just call me the new sister, don't mention my identity."
Chen Ruolan nodded and jokingly said, "Incognito patrol?"
Tang Anan blinked her lively eyes, "What do you think?"
Chen Ruolan's eyes were filled with deep meaning, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "Okay, whatever you say."
When they arrived at the kitchen, the people inside were extremely enthusiastic when they saw Chen Ruolan coming. They asked her about her well-being and seemed to have endless things to say to her.
At the same time, they naturally noticed Tang Anan beside her. Looking at her delicate face, lively eyes and extraordinary temperament, several women guessed that her identity must be extraordinary.
The topic turned to Tang Anan again.
The woman said, "This girl is really pretty, but she looks a little unfamiliar."
Chen Ruolan didn't say anything either, just looked at Tang Anan as if he was watching a show.
Tang An'an couldn't tell what she was thinking. She smiled helplessly and said to them, "I'm Ruolan's sister. You can just call me An'an."
"So she's Miss Chen's sister. She's so pretty."
They surrounded Tang Anan and praised her highly.
Tang Anan was a little overwhelmed by the situation. She looked for help at Chen Ruolan, who was practically cracking melon seeds and watching the show, and shouted, "Sister Ruolan..."
Chen Ruolan suppressed her laughter, rescued Tang Anan from their clutches, and said to them, "Alright, we're not here to chat. Go prepare some mung bean soup, we're going to go see Brother Yan and the others."
When the woman heard this, she reluctantly withdrew her hand and nodded in agreement.
While making the sweet soup, she chatted with the woman next to her: "This Miss An An is really good. She looks like she should be quite capable."
The woman murmured in agreement, "She looks like she's only in her teens. I wonder if my Junsheng can be worthy of her even if he tries harder."
Another woman said, "Your son Junsheng is quite good. At the age of 20, he has already participated in several three-star missions and returned safely. Not only that, General Yan also values him very much."
The woman said: "Why don't you go home tonight and talk to your husband, Junsheng, about not letting such a good girl be given away to another boy."
Another woman said, "That makes sense. Let's talk to him tonight and ask him to try harder."
The women were diligent and although they chatted occasionally, they quickly prepared the mung bean soup that Tang Anan needed.
Tang Anan and Chen Ruolan had sharp hearing, so they naturally overheard some of the women's gossip. Chen Ruolan teased, "Junsheng is a really good guy. Would you like to consider him?"
