Jiang Weidong smiled as he saw her teasing him and pinched her braid, saying, "Same to you."
Lin Wangshu freed her braid and said defiantly, "I don't have that kind of luck with men."
Jiang Weidong raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously, "Really? You ran all this way to avoid your love interest, didn't you?"
"How did you know? Didn't I tell Mom and Dad not to tell you?" Lin Wangshu stared wide-eyed in shock.
Jiang Weidong smiled and said, "So that means there's a traitor in the family!"
Lin Wangshu thought for a moment and realized who it was, then gritted her teeth and said, "That little traitor Jiang Weimin."
"I should thank this little traitor; now we're even, aren't we?"
Lin Wangshu felt a little annoyed by his smug smile. She rolled her eyes, hooked one of his fingers around, and said in a sweet voice, "Did you miss me?"
She had expected to see Jiang Weidong blush, but to her surprise, he held her entire hand in his palm, still maintaining a serious expression as he said, "I've been thinking about you day and night."
"You..." Lin Wangshu hadn't expected him to become so shameless, and she herself blushed slightly from his flirting. In the end, she could only stomp her foot and say, "You've become naughty!"
"I'm serious," Jiang Weidong said earnestly to her with a long sigh.
"I really miss you, Little Moon."
Lin Wangshu blushed even more, and bit her lower lip lightly, saying, "We'll meet again next month."
Seeing Jiang Weidong's puzzled expression, Lin Wangshu moved her hand in his palm and asked him excitedly, "Don't you know? Our art troupe is going to perform in your area next month. This will be my first time performing on stage!"
Jiang Weidong was also very excited, "Really? Whatever you sing, I'll definitely applaud for you, applaud loudly."
Lin Wangshu scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm probably not good enough for a solo yet. You'll have to find me in the choir."
Jiang Weidong was still excited and patted her head to comfort her, "It's okay, you're so beautiful, I'm sure I'll recognize you at a glance."
Lin Wangshu was deeply moved and couldn't help but hug him, saying, "You're so handsome, I'm sure I could recognize you at a glance on stage."
"Ahem, did we come at the worst possible time?"
Lin Wangshu quickly let go, feeling guilty, and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw He Xiao looking at them with a gossipy expression, while Song Jing covered her face in embarrassment and reached out to pull He Xiao away.
“Perfect timing, perfect timing,” Lin Wangshu said with a forced smile.
He Xiao dragged Song Jing, who was trying to leave, over and looked at Jiang Weidong, saying to Lin Wangshu, "Is this your lover who you're so obsessed with?"
Lin Wangshu was taken aback by her shocking words and gasped as she lunged forward to cover her mouth, exclaiming, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Weidong smiled in a good mood and nodded, saying, "Hello, my name is Jiang Weidong."
Fearing that He Xiao might say something shocking again, Lin Wangshu quickly asked, "Why are you here?"
He Xiao said indignantly, "Of course it's for you! Wang Hong and Li Lu insulted you like that today, they can't just get away with it, can they?"
Jiang Weidong didn't understand and frowned, asking, "Did they bully you today?"
Seeing that he was unaware, He Xiao told him everything that had happened that day.
Jiang Weidong was shocked that Lin Wangshu would be insulted in front of so many people. His face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "This is outrageous!"
Lin Wangshu quickly comforted him, saying softly, "Don't be angry. I'm not made of dough. I certainly won't let them off so easily."
Jiang Weidong couldn't stand seeing Lin Wangshu suffer from injustice since he was a child. Back then, he beat Hou Chengnan to death for her sake, and he himself was beaten so badly by Jiang Defu that he couldn't get out of bed. But he never regretted it and would do the same thing again if it happened again.
Now that Lin Wangshu has suffered such a great injustice, it's impossible for him to do nothing. Just thinking about it makes his eyes red with heartache.
"Don't worry, your second brother will definitely help you get revenge!"
Lin Wangshu understood that he was treating her like an older brother who wanted to protect his sister again, so she could only nod and say, "Okay, I've always believed in you."
Ever since you were beaten up that year for protecting me, I've always believed in you.
Jiang Weidong returned to the door of the regimental commander's office. Just as he was about to knock, the door opened and Platoon Leader Luo came out. He was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Weidong and said, "Why are you back again? Perfect timing, things are over, we can go back now."
Jiang Weidong shook his head with a serious expression and said, "It's not over yet."
"Not over yet? What's missing?" Platoon Leader Luo asked with a surprised look.
"Li Lu's punishment is still pending!" Jiang Weidong walked in, his gaze towards Li Lu cold and ruthless.
Li Lu felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze and couldn't help but hide behind Gao Qing.
"Is it really okay for Comrade Li Lu to just let this matter go, because of her own stupidity, mistaking Wang Shu for a third party and publicly insulting her?"
Jiang Weidong's words were quite harsh. He had never been so ruthless towards a woman before, but now, in his eyes, she was just someone who bullied Wang Shu.
Gong Shan agreed, saying, "That's right. Wang Shu was wronged this time. If we don't punish Wang Hong and Li Lu, it might discourage people."
Gao Qing disagreed, retorting, "Xiao Lu is also a victim; she acted on impulse."
"She was harmed because she was stupid, but Wang Shu was truly innocent!"
"You're a grown man, how can you be so unreasonable with a young girl? Don't you have any shame?" Gao Qing couldn't stand it anymore and angrily rebuked him.
"I'm representing my parents today. They asked me to take good care of Wangshu, and I can't just stand by and watch her be bullied!" Jiang Weidong said righteously.
