Liao Heshan always looked at Li Qingming with an expression as if someone owed him millions.
"Why don't you take a couple of days off and adjust your mood?" Liao Heshan looked at this young man, who was also going through a lot.
The military said this kid was the second Lu Chen.
He's the same age as Lu Chen, and he's not young to have joined the army.
He finally met a girl he liked, but she was killed by Ye Feifei. They got married, but divorced less than six months later.
As the political commissar, he worried himself sick over them.
"Reporting to the political commissar, I don't need to rest and can continue training," Li Qingming said, straightening his back.
Liao Heshan stared intently at Li Qingming, he was so stubborn!
"Political Commissar, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang only hit me because of a misunderstanding caused by Comrade Xia Xiaoli. Let's not punish him." Li Qingming saw things very clearly.
Liao Heshan suddenly frowned, thinking that Xia Xiaoli was quite good-looking, but she had difficulty walking and came to rely on her cousin in order not to get married.
"You hugged her in public, but many people saw it?" Liao Heshan asked Li Qingming tentatively.
Li Qingming said, "In urgent situations, one must act expediently. Comrade Fang Guilan was about to hit her, so I just pulled her back. She lost her balance and I ended up hugging her. I didn't do it on purpose."
Liao Heshan had originally thought of seeing if Li Qingming had any ideas, but now it seemed better to give up.
After everything we've been through, it's best not to play matchmaker.
"Political Commissar, thank you for your and the leaders' concern about Comrade Bai Jinghao, but I only love Miaomiao. Please don't worry about me." Li Qingming was assigned by the leaders to pick up Comrade Bai Jinghao today, hoping to bring them together.
Fortunately, Comrade Bai Jinghao didn't have any feelings for him.
"Alright, go back and get some rest. I'll explain everything to Lao Bai." Liao Heshan said helplessly, telling Li Qingming to go back.
Li Qingming saluted and left.
Liao Heshan watched Li Qingming leave. He had watched this kid grow up, from a naive boy to what he is today. He felt both heartache and helplessness.
Since they are unwilling, there's no need to force them.
Xia Xiaoli, supported by Zhang Dali, was on her way back.
"Cousin, have I caused you any trouble?" Xia Xiaoli didn't know what had happened. She was helped up by Battalion Commander Li, and then inexplicably slapped by Fang Guilan, causing her cousin to hit someone else because of her.
Zhang Dali comforted her, "Don't cry. What could possibly happen to me? At worst, I'll be demoted by one rank and become a battalion commander. The salary will be less, but it'll be enough to support you and Shulan. Don't cry."
He had prepared for the worst, but hitting someone was wrong; he was extremely anxious about what had happened.
“Li Qingming is a good person, but Xiaoli, don’t get too close to him.” Zhang Dali felt that girls would become unhappy if they got close to Li Qingming. “You will naturally understand his situation after you stay in the family compound for a while. What you need to do now is take good care of yourself, you know? Your cousin needs to be responsible for your life. Although you have difficulty walking, in your cousin’s eyes you are a very good girl. Don’t look down on yourself.”
"I understand, cousin." Xia Xiaoli felt guilty and uneasy after hearing her cousin's words, but slowly she also felt safe.
She still has her cousin protecting her.
Zhang Dali took Xia Xiaoli home to the family compound. Upon learning that Xia Xiaoli had been accepted by the factory, he happily took leave and asked Xiang Shulan to boil an egg for Xia Xiaoli to reduce the swelling while he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables.
Thinking that he had hit someone, Zhang Dali bought an extra bag of fruit and went to see Li Qingming to apologize.
Li Qingming said nothing and accepted Zhang Dali's apology.
This matter is not over yet. When Fang Guilan woke up in the hospital, she cried with great emotion.
He pointed at Liu Dahai and started cursing.
No amount of apology helped, and Fang Guiyan's attempts to comfort him were also ineffective.
"Why..." Li Qingming wasn't her blind date.
“Lanlan, listen to your sister, I really didn’t mean it. I heard you’re not doing well over there, and Mom and Dad can’t protect you. I’m worried, but… you know, no one dares to risk their future to help you escape this misery. Battalion Commander Liu really wants to live with you, and we didn’t lie to you. As for that photo, we really don’t know what happened.”
Fang Guiyan and her younger sister had never gotten along since childhood. She knew her sister was spoiled, but she was still the older sister.
"Fang Guiyan, do you know what kind of life I'm living?" Fang Guilan cried out, "Over there, I was paraded through the streets, slapped, and laughed at!" She was almost stripped naked and humiliated in public by those people.
"All the money you sent me was used to ask them for letters of introduction. On my way here by train, I was almost dragged off the train by several men. They said I was their wife and that I had been caught trying to escape. I screamed for help, and if it weren't for the kind people who saved me, I would have been ruined!"
It wasn't easy for Fang Guilan to get here.
As a result, I was deceived by the photos.
How could she not be in a good mood? She was also very angry. She had been pampered since she was a child, and these days, when she was bullied, she relied on her fierce personality to protect herself.
“What did I do wrong? I can endure hardship, but I can’t bear being bullied. I can work, but I can’t do jobs that require flattery or selling my body!”
Fang Guilan became more and more excited as she spoke.
As the older sister, how could she not feel heartbroken after hearing what Fang Guilan said?
He walked to the bedside, his eyes red, and hugged Fang Guilan, who was crying loudly, gently patting her back.
Seeing Fang Guilan so heartbroken, Liu Dahai also felt it was his fault.
He turned and ran back to the barracks to find Li Qingming.
