Upon returning to Songshan Island, Yafei didn't even go home before hurrying towards the communications unit with her luggage.
Anjie called out anxiously from behind, "Yafei, where are you going? Aren't you coming home?"
Yafi waved to her without turning around, "You go back by yourself, I'm busy!"
"Hmph, what a fool you are. Why would someone take so many days off when they're so busy?" An Jie muttered under her breath, not believing her.
She guessed that Yafei was probably in a hurry to find her boyfriend.
This made Anjie feel restless and anxious, wishing she could immediately follow him and see what the man looked like.
But remembering Lin Wangshu's instructions, An Jie suppressed her curiosity and turned to go home.
Yafei dropped her luggage and went straight to find Yu Daguang. Looking at his handsome profile as he slowly wrote calligraphy, Yafei's eyes softened.
"Yu Daguang, come on, let's go for a walk on the beach!" Yafei spoke, unusually not so carefree, but with a hint of girlish shyness.
Yu Daguang looked up and was pleasantly surprised to see her. "You're back! Great! Wait for me to tidy up the table."
Listening to the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs, Yafei's heart couldn't help but beat faster. She twitched the finger closest to Daguang and finally boldly took his hand.
Yu Daguang's body trembled, and he turned his head sharply to look at Yafei, his eyes filled with shock, and he couldn't help but try to struggle with the hand that was being held.
Ke Yafei's ears turned slightly red. She stared straight ahead, not daring to look at him. Her hands clenched tightly in nervousness, and she didn't notice his resistance for a moment.
Biting her lip, Yafei finally made up her mind and said, "Daguang, we..."
"Yafi? When did you get back?"
Just then, a familiar voice interrupted them. Yafei looked closely and saw that Old Ding was wearing a straw hat and staring at them in surprise.
She had only seen his back and thought he was an old man from the village fishing, but she never expected it to be her uncle.
Upon seeing that it was Chief of Staff Ding, Yu Daguang panicked and immediately shook off Yafei's hand, awkwardly trying to say something.
Yafei felt a jolt in her hand, frowned and looked back at Yu Daguang, only to see his eyes darting away.
Old Ding's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them before he tentatively asked, "Yafei, is this your boyfriend?"
Yafei thought that she would have to come clean sooner or later anyway, so it didn't matter if she told Lao Ding now. Just as she was about to nod, she heard Yu Daguang's flustered denial.
"No, no, Chief of Staff, you've misunderstood. We're just ordinary friends."
“You…” Yafei looked at him in disbelief. She never expected that this person would be so irresponsible.
Seeing this, Lao Ding smiled enigmatically, "Okay, being ordinary friends is fine."
He hummed a song as he packed up his fishing gear, then smiled and said to Yafei, "Yafei, you've just become an instructor, and it's not right for you to be taking a walk with a regular friend during work hours!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Chief of Staff Ding. I understand!" Yafei said through gritted teeth, seemingly annoyed by Old Ding's sarcastic words.
Old Ding didn't mind her sarcastic remarks; he was used to Jiang Defu's sarcastic comments. In a good mood, he carried his things home.
After Lao Ding left, Yafei immediately turned to Yu Daguang to settle the score, "What did you mean just now? What do you mean by 'ordinary friends'?"
Yu Daguang lowered his head in shame and stammered, "Yafei, it's not appropriate for us to go public yet."
Yafei didn't understand. "Why? Is there something wrong with us? I like you and want to introduce you to my family!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Daguang became even more resistant, waving his hands repeatedly, "No, your family won't like me!"
"I understand now, so that's what you're afraid of." Yafei thought she had figured out the reason, and pulled his hand to walk towards the Jiang family's house. "Come on, come home with me."
"How will you know they won't like you if you don't go and meet them!"
Seeing that Yafei was determined to drag him to see Commander Jiang, Yu Daguang was so frightened that he kept backing away. Forced into a corner, he could only reveal his true feelings, "Yafei, please spare me, I don't have the guts!"
These words completely broke Yafei's heart. She looked at Yu Daguang with utter disappointment, kicked him hard, and shouted, "Yu Daguang, I was blind!"
After saying that, he left angrily. Yafei was heartbroken. She never expected that her first love would be such a cowardly and weak man.
The image of Yu Daguang as a handsome and talented man in her mind was completely shattered.
Carrying his fishing gear, Old Ding headed straight for the Jiang family's house. Upon seeing An Jie, he exclaimed anxiously, "Teacher An, I just saw Yafei and their quartermaster dating at the beach!"
"What? He's just a quartermaster?" Anjie was utterly disappointed. She had been guessing who this person was, but it turned out to be a lower-ranking position than she had imagined!
Old Ding frowned and said to An Jie, "You think of a way. That quartermaster is obviously not a good match. He's like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees me."
"When I asked him about their relationship, he wouldn't admit it. He doesn't seem like a responsible person at all, and he's not worthy of Yafei!"
Upon hearing this, Anjie angrily flung the clothes in her hand, exclaiming, "What kind of person is this? What kind of taste does Yafei have?!"
Just as they were about to say something more, Jiang Defu came out, and the two stopped talking.
Anjie entered the house with a sullen face, intending to have a serious talk with Yafei when she returned.
To everyone's surprise, Yafei returned so quickly. Before Lao Ding and Jiang Defu could even exchange a few coins, she stormed in, fuming.
Seeing this, Jiang Defu smiled and asked her, "Who made our Yafei angry? Her lips are so pouty you could hang an oil bottle on them."
After hearing this, Yafei stopped and gave him a heavy snort before walking back into the house.
Jiang Defu wasn't angry; he just shook his head and smiled, "It seems that Yafei is quite angry this time."
Old Ding watched in disbelief and said sympathetically, "Old buddy, your status in the family is pretty low."
"Alright, alright, let's play chess," Jiang Defu said with a smile, avoiding the topic.
When Anjie saw Yafei return, he immediately stood up and said seriously, "Yafei, I need to have a serious talk with you about your relationship."
"Regardless, that quartermaster..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yafi interrupted angrily, "Don't mention that quartermaster to me, I'm done with him!"
After saying that, he went back into the house and slammed the door shut.
When Anjie heard this, she was first taken aback, and then her face lit up with joy. So fast, it was over in less than half a day.
Lin Wangshu was the one who understood Yafei's situation best, and she got the job done effortlessly, which was more effective than any of her earnest advice.
