Chapter 37 Object
"No, I haven't."
"That's good," Jiang Chao's frown slowly relaxed, "Yingying, I'll find you a great partner in the future."
"Or, if there are gay men who want to date you, talk to me. I can ask around among the men in this military region..."
"Brother, I know, don't worry."
Looking at Jiang Yingying's little face, Jiang Chao was still worried in his heart, but he swallowed all his words back.
Jiang Chao was thinking that when he got back, he would tell Xu Zhishu and ask him to come and talk to Jiang Yingying so that they, as female comrades, could have a good chat.
Jiang Chao thought to himself how great his Yingying was. She could cook, was pretty, and was a high school student. Most importantly, Yingying was only eighteen years old and still young, so she didn't need to think about marriage so soon.
Even if Jiang Yingying never got married and he supported her for the rest of her life, he would still be able to afford it.
At this moment, Jiang Chao mentioned this matter to Jiang Yingying because the matter of Political Commissar Wang’s daughter had made such a big fuss that even he, a rough man who usually didn’t hear anything about other things, had heard about it.
When Political Commissar Wang's daughter went to the market in the city, she met an educated youth from a nearby countryside and was deceived by him with just a few words.
Now, she is determined to marry that educated youth and is trying to commit suicide at home.
Political Commissar Wang has a worried look on his face these days.
When Jiang Chao heard about it, his first reaction was to think of his daughter Jiang Yingying. Jiang Yingying was young and there were many unmarried gay men in the army.
Although this assumption is not friendly to gay men, what if?
Humph, Jiang Chao had been thinking all the way about how he would teach that person a lesson if there really was someone with ill intentions towards his Yingying.
On the other side, He Yan sneezed three times in the ward. "Captain, are you catching a cold?"
He Yan saw that Yu Hongbing was still there and asked him to leave.
"It's getting late. Go back to the dormitory and get some rest. You don't need to stay here with me."
"That won't work. I have to stay here." He Yan wanted to say something, but Yu Hongbing said, "If I'm not here, what will you do if you want to go to bed in the middle of the night?"
Very good, his question successfully blocked He Yan’s attention.
After Jiang Yingying returned home, that night her sister-in-law came to chat with her holding a quilt.
Jiang Chao returned to his room after taking a shower. He looked at the empty room and frowned.
He sat in the room and waited for a long time, then got up and went to Jiang Yingying's room and knocked on the door.
"Yingying, is your sister-in-law here with you?"
"Why are you here? Yingying and I will sleep together tonight."
Jiang Chao frowned, stood in front of the door for a while, and then went back.
However, his back as he turned back looked a little lonely.
The next day, when Jiang Yingying was preparing lunch for He Yan, a leader who looked kind but whose surroundings were not to be ignored entered the cafeteria.
He was standing at the window, and Dong Jianbin was sweating from the hot oil, so he accidentally discovered it when he was wiping his sweat.
"Brigade Commander?"
As soon as Dong Jianbin said this, Master Yang hurriedly looked up.
"Commander Guan! Why are you here?"
The people in the kitchen stopped what they were doing. Guan Chuang raised his hand and said, "You guys are busy. Don't worry about me. I'm just here to take a look."
His eyes met Jiang Yingying's, "You are Comrade Xiao Jiang, right?"
"Brigade Commander Guan, I'm Jiang Yingying."
"Good comrade, I'm sorry to trouble you with He Yan's diet during his hospitalization. He was injured while serving the country and the army, and his family can't come to take care of him."
"I'll leave it to you."
Jiang Yingying said hurriedly: "It's what I should do. Captain He also gave me the money to buy the ingredients. I just cooked the ingredients. It didn't take much effort."
Guan Chuang laughed out loud, "What a great way to cook the ingredients. Comrade Xiao Jiang is really interesting in his conversation."
He said, "I just want to go to the hospital to see He Yan. It's almost time for dinner now, let's go to the cafeteria."
"Oh, Captain He's meal is ready," Jiang Yingying hurriedly packed the meal and handed it to Guan Chuang. "Here."
Guan Chuang took it and said, "Thank you, Comrade Xiaojiang."
"No, you're welcome."
As soon as he left, everyone in the cafeteria breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Lanhua said, "Although Commander Guan was smiling just now, his aura is still scary."
"As a leader, don't you have some authority?"
"It seems that Captain He has made a great contribution this time. The leaders above take it so seriously."
…
Hearing the discussion of Aunt Lanhua and others, Jiang Yingying felt a little uncomfortable.
She thought: Maybe it was because the person who had made great contributions that they were discussing was someone she cared about.
He had done great things in their eyes, but he was covered in wounds.
When Guan Chuang brought the lunch box to the military hospital, He Yan was struggling to get out of bed and move around.
"Don't move, kid!"
"brigadier?"
"There's no outsider here, so why call him brigade commander? Call him uncle." Guan Chuang put the lunch box on the table.
He Yan took a look and asked, "Uncle Guan, did you go to the cafeteria?"
"Yeah, I came to see you, kid. It's almost time for dinner, so I just picked it up on the way."
Guan Chuang said, "Boy, this injury is not a trivial one. Your Aunt He has already said that you must take good care of yourself this time. Why are you making such a fuss?"
He Yan was helped by Guan Chuang to lie back on the bed. He just wanted to practice walking.
In this way, the embarrassing situation of last night will not happen again.
"Your parents also said that you should take advantage of this period of time to take good care of your body so that you won't suffer from any illness in the future."
"Uncle Guan, didn't Aunt He promise me not to tell my parents about my hospitalization?"
Guan Chuang was stunned and touched his nose guiltily.
"I didn't hear what your Aunt He said..." He turned his head and changed the subject abruptly. "Are you hungry? Comrade Xiao Jiang's cooking is quite delicious."
"I have good cooking skills, but they are not like yours, so you should seize the opportunity!"
"Uncle!" He Yan pursed his lips, "What did Aunt He say to you?"
"Your Aunt He said that you are obsessed with Comrade Xiao Jiang, and you keep staring at him without moving your eyes..."
Guan Chuang stopped talking in time, looked at He Yan and chuckled twice.
"Haha, haha, come and eat."
"Wow, it smells really good! Great craftsmanship!"
He Yan took the chopsticks and took small bites slowly in front of Guan Chuang.
Guan Chuang, knowing that he had just been "talkative", swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to sit any longer.
"Okay, I've come to see you and brought you food. You should recover in the hospital. I'm leaving now."
"Uncle Guan, take care."
Guan Chuang walked out of the ward faster and faster. Damn it, why didn’t he remember to get one for himself as well.
He Yan in the ward hummed softly, looked at the food in the lunch box, the corners of his lips slowly raised, and he started to eat happily.
It took Jiang Yingying almost half a month to prepare this meal.
He Yan had been lying in the hospital for almost half a month. He couldn't lie there any longer, so he and He Lingwan tried hard to persuade him to be discharged early.
On the morning he was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Yingying didn't have to work the early shift, so she came over to help clean up.
When she arrived, He Yan had already packed up his things, leaving only a small package.
"Have you collected your things?"
"alright."
Yu Hongbing came up from downstairs, "Captain, Comrade Jiang, the discharge procedures have been completed."
"Okay, Red Soldier, go back to the regiment first. I don't need anyone here."
"Yes, Captain."
Yu Hongbing responded in a loud voice, turned around and ran away quickly.
Jiang Yingying looked at He Yan, then at his small package.
"Well, let's go? I'll carry you?"
"No, I'll do it."
He Yan and Jiang Yingying walked out of the military hospital together. Once they were out of the hospital and walking on the road, they felt even more uncomfortable.
He Yan looked at her profile and said, "Finally I'm discharged from the hospital. My bones are so loose from lying down."
"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, so you can't do heavy work or train recklessly."
He Yan looked at her with deep eyes, making Jiang Yingying feel embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Her ears felt hot and she muttered softly. "What do you mean by listening to me? This is your own body."
"Are you on sick leave now?"
"Yes," He Yan replied seriously, "I have two months of vacation."
"oh."
"Yingying, can you go somewhere with me?"
"Ah?" Jiang Yingying's heart jumped uncontrollably, "Sure."
She followed him, winding this way and that, and the road ahead was no longer familiar to her.
Jiang Yingying stopped and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"The green hills behind the troops."
“Isn’t this the way to Qingshan?”
"It's a small path I discovered by chance before. It's shorter and doesn't take much time."
As they walked, Jiang Yingying saw the appearance of Qingshan Mountain, and He Yan took her to a small path to Qingshan Mountain.
"How do you know so many paths?"
If Jiang Yingying hadn't had faith in He Yan's character, she would have wanted to turn around and leave as soon as she reached the foot of Qingshan Mountain.
There is no one who would take a detour along the small road when taking someone to a place.
“I found it when I was going down the mountain.”
"I..." am leaving. "arrive."
He Yan's words interrupted Jiang Yingying's unfinished words, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Yingying.
"Yingying, what did you just want to say?"
“How beautiful!”
What appeared in front of Jiang Yingying were large patches of wild chrysanthemums.
A large area of golden color, with a few clusters of unknown wild flowers occasionally mixed in the golden color.
“How beautiful!”
Jiang Yingying took two steps forward and looked back at He Yan.
"How do you know this place?"
He Yan pointed to a steep slope on the upper right, "I found this when I accidentally fell down from there while hunting in the mountains two years ago."
"Later, whenever I was in a bad mood, I would come to this place, lie on the ground, and look at the sky. Time would pass quickly, and the depression in my heart would dissipate."
"Yingying, you are the second person to come here besides me."
"Yingying..." He Yan was a little nervous. His palms were sweating, but he still looked at her, staring at her, not wanting to miss any second of her reaction.
"Yingying, I..."
"I'm here." Jiang Yingying looked at him with a smile, "He Yan, I'm listening. No matter what you say, I'm listening."
He Yan's face was already extremely red, and after she said this, it became even redder, almost ripe.
"Yingying, I like you."
"I want to be with you. I want to be with you all the time."
"Yingying, I want to hold your hand and have dinner with you..."
"Yingying, I'm He Yan, the son of a cadre. I have three older brothers, all of whom are married and have children."
"I am the youngest in the family. When we are together, my parents will not interfere in our affairs..."
…
He Yan spoke the following words in a confusing manner.
However, Jiang Yingying truly felt his sincerity.
Her heart had long been telling her that she was also moved.
"Let's be together!"
"Let's be together!"
The two voices rang out at the same time, and the smiles on their faces grew bigger and bigger.
He Yan repeated it again, "Yingying, let's be together. I will treat you well for the rest of my life. I will prove it with my actions!"
"Okay, let's make progress together in the future, partner."
“Let’s make progress together!”
After the two confirmed their relationship, He Yan couldn't stop smiling, and he even went forward and picked a bouquet of flowers for Jiang Yingying.
A full handful!
Jiang Yingying took it with a smile, and said that she would take it home to dry it and make it into scented tea, and give him half.
He Yan agreed. Jiang Yingying told him to take care of himself in the dormitory during his vacation and not to try to train too hard. He also agreed.
No matter what Jiang Yingying said, he said yes.
Jiang Yingying pursed her lips, unable to suppress the smile at the corners of her lips.
When going down the mountain, He Yan secretly held Jiang Yingying's hand. Seeing that she did not refuse, the curve of He Yan's mouth widened.
On the way back to the military area, Jiang Yingying suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, He Yan, can you not tell my brother about our relationship yet?"
The corners of He Yan's mouth drooped down, and he looked at Jiang Yingying with a disappointed look.
This way, Jiang Yingying always felt like she was a scumbag who deceived an innocent boy.
"I don't mean anything else. It's just that my brother talked to me about dating a while ago, and he seemed to be quite concerned about it."
"I haven't figured out how to tell him. I'm not prepared."
"Why don't we keep it a secret from him for now and tell him later."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
“My partner is so nice!”
With just one sentence, Jiang Yingying hooked He Yan, who had just lost himself, into a fish again.
The two held hands the whole time and didn't let go until they reached the military area.
He Yan sent Jiang Yingying to a canteen and said, "I'm here. You should go back soon. Remember to come over for lunch."
At this time, Jiang Yingying heard a sound, and she immediately jumped away, keeping a long distance from He Yan.
It was Mr. Feng who was tired of sitting in the cooperative and started wandering around.
He saw the two of them and glanced at them suspiciously.
"Grandpa Feng, come out for a walk!"
"Well, Xiao Jiang, what are we having for lunch?"
"At noon, if there is fish, how about I make some fish slices with vinegar?"
"Okay, the fish is good, and the sour taste is even better."
"Then Grandpa Feng, you continue walking. I'm going back to the cafeteria to work."
"Well, go ahead."
He Yan stood there, without even getting a glance from Jiang Yingying, and saw her quickly disappearing back.
"Are you discharged from the hospital?" Old Feng asked He Yan.
"Mr. Feng, I was discharged early. The hospital approved it. I didn't sneak out."
"Hmph, go do what you need to do, why are you standing here? It's not time for dinner yet!"
He Yan laughed helplessly, looked in the direction of the cafeteria again, and went back to the dormitory, looking back every few steps.
Elder Feng glanced at him from behind and said quietly, "This kid's mind is always wandering."
