When Bai Shuang woke up, she checked the time and it was 3 p.m. Should she go to the military camp for dinner or eat at home? After thinking about it, she decided to eat at home.
Life is quite tough in the military camp. The guards like to come here mostly because the food is good. Although Bai Shuang is in charge of the soldiers' meals at the paper mill, she herself eats military food with Lu Yu every meal.
Besides, her personal guards are quite useful if she needs anything.
The saying "To win people's hearts, first win their stomachs" still holds a lot of truth.
We had dumplings for lunch, and were too lazy to cook dinner. We didn't eat many of the steamed buns we had stocked up on, so we just took them out, along with a big pot of millet porridge and a few cold dishes. That was it.
Tell them to come over on the walkie-talkie so they can eat. Bai Jiu and the others can come over first.
Bai Jiu: "Miss, I think that Miss Ling looks a bit like you, especially her walk. Her face also resembles yours."
Bai Chang: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Miss be associated with someone like that?"
"Of course she can't compare to you, Miss. I'm just talking about looks."
Bai Shuang: "There are many people in the world who look alike, what's so strange about that?"
Bai Jiu: "That's true."
The guards were astonished! "You made so many buns, didn't you take a lunch break?"
Bai Jiu said proudly, "We did this after we were well-rested, so we're working very fast."
After the meal, she had them pick all the vegetables on the balcony and take them with them. After the others left, Bai Shuang put all the express delivery boxes into her space before leaving.
Meanwhile, in the military camp, Uncle Liang had just coaxed Ling Qingyao to sleep after she had eaten something.
Ling Qingyao has been making a scene ever since she came back today. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything for most of the day, saying she doesn't want to live anymore.
She's a rich young lady who used to be treated like royalty at the Kyoto base. Who would have thought she'd be treated like this here!
Seeing her like this, Uncle Liang was really afraid that something might happen to her, and he wouldn't be able to explain it when he got back.
I called Lu Yu on walkie-talkie this morning, hoping he would come back and talk to him, but as soon as I brought up the topic, Lu Yu hung up.
Sigh! He really can't control what young people do. If he had known this would happen, he would never have brought Ling Qingyao to Tangcheng.
Throughout the noon, he tried to comfort Ling Qingyao while looking out the door, hoping that Lu Yu would return.
Because Lu Yu's attitude was very important to her, Uncle Liang firmly believed that if Lu Yu had said a single word of concern, Ling Qingyao would have immediately stopped crying and started smiling. Unfortunately...
It was evening, and Lu Yu still hadn't returned. Uncle Liang sat alone in the makeshift living room, waiting.
Suddenly, he heard the soldiers arguing, as if saying that the general was back and Dr. Bai was back. Then, except for those on guard duty who were not allowed to leave, everyone else rushed out in a swarm.
He asked the sentry next to him, "What are they doing?"
The sentry said, "Help Dr. Bai move his things. If I'm not on guard duty, I'll go too."
After waiting a while, probably after they finished moving, someone came in and gave the sentry something. He said thank you and then put it in his mouth.
After a while, seeing Uncle Liang watching from the side, she stretched out her palm and said, "Look, the cherry tomatoes that Dr. Bai planted are so delicious."
After saying that, the sentry tossed the few seeds into his mouth, chewing them loudly. He then exclaimed, "Sweet and sour, a true delicacy!"
Uncle Liang: ...
After a while, Lu Yu came in. Uncle Liang wanted to talk to him, and Lu Yu also wanted to talk to Uncle Liang, so the two of them went to Lu Yu's office together.
Bai Shuang didn't know what they talked about; she only knew that Uncle Liang looked very unwell when he came out.
In the days that followed, Bai Shuang didn't pay attention to these things and just did what she was supposed to do.
In the morning, the three of them and the dog would do morning exercises with everyone. At noon, they would help the soldiers at the paper mill cook, and then practice sparring with everyone. Sometimes, they would help everyone load the finished mulberry paper onto a truck and transport it away to a quiet place to store it.
About five or six days later, Miss Ling took the initiative to come and talk to Bai Shuang.
"I am A-Yu's fiancée. Please don't ruin our relationship. If you leave him willingly, I'll give you a batch of food. I mean what I say."
"So, you're Lu Yu's fiancée? I didn't realize."
If what you're saying is true, then you'd better keep a close eye on things. To be honest, Lu Yu has been pursuing me, but I haven't agreed yet. If I ever get carried away and say yes, then you'll have to step aside.
Ling Qingyao was furious. "You!"
The snow leopard, noticing the tense standoff between the two, barked at Miss Ling, "Woof woof woof."
She shuddered slightly, but quickly recovered.
Bai Shuang teased her, "The day you arrived, I asked him if you were his white moonlight. He said that I have always been his white moonlight. If you don't believe me, go ask him now."
As for food, I don't care about it!
Miss Ling was still somewhat arrogant, "Bai Shuang, don't be so arrogant. I've inquired, and you're just an orphan. What makes you think you can compare to me?"
The operation of the Kyoto base hospital belongs to the Kang family; it has nothing to do with the Bai family. The Kang family has been suppressing the Bai family since they came to power.
Bai Shuang thought to herself, "Suppress the Bai family? I haven't even decided whether to go to the capital yet. How are they going to suppress me?"
Ling Qingyao said proudly, "My family's wealth is unmatched. My father is the chief engineer and designer of the newly built Kyoto base. If you offend me, I can make your life miserable over there with just a flick of my finger! Unless you don't go."
"You think someone can do evil for you with just a flick of a finger? So, your father is a habitual bully? He's no good, and the Kyoto base is just a bunch of rabble?"
Miss Ling was furious again. "How dare you speak like that? Watch your mouth! If this were the Kyoto base, I could kill you with the slightest gesture, you believe me?"
Bai Shuang reached out and grabbed her neck. "I don't know if you can kill me, but I only need to move a finger and you'll be dead."
Snow leopard, woof woof woof, I want to go too!
Bai Shuang tightened her grip, and Ling Qingyao's face immediately turned ashen, her eyes bulging. After about a minute, Bai Shuang released her grip.
Bai Shuang certainly couldn't kill her here; it would cause trouble for Lu Yu. She just wanted to scare her a little.
Ling Qingyao gasped for breath, she was so scared! Just now, she almost thought she was going to die, and she was still shaken. She grabbed her bag and ran away crying.
About half an hour later, a strange military officer came looking for Bai Shuang. He must have come from the capital with Uncle Liang. He said that Uncle Liang wanted to see her.
Ling Qingyao went to complain, and since he's Lu Yu's uncle, she should give him some face and go see him.
Upon arriving at the temporary office, they found only Uncle Liang and Ling Qingyao inside; Lu Yu was nowhere to be seen.
After entering, Uncle Liang looked at Bai Shuang but did not offer her a seat.
Bai Shuang simply pulled up a stool and sat down. She wasn't a soldier and had no superior-subordinate relationship with them, so she didn't need to salute or obey orders.
Uncle Liang raised his hand, gesturing for Ling Qingyao to leave.
"What does Uncle Liang want with me?"
"You just tried to kill her?"
Bai Shuang: "Uncle Liang, do you think she could escape if I wanted to kill her?"
