Liu Baogen found the grocery store where Xu Yingying worked, but Xu Yingying was not there.
He had come here to look for Xu Yingying before, so some of Xu Yingying's classmates recognized him and greeted him warmly.
"Since Yingying is not interested, I'll go back first." It's not that he doesn't want to look for her.
But just as Liu Baogen turned around and went out, he met Xu Yingying who had just returned from outside.
"Baogen, you're here." She looked surprised.
"Well, they said you didn't, so I'm leaving now."
After finally seeing him, Xu Yingying was reluctant to let him go. She quickly went in and talked to her classmates for a few words, then ran over and took Liu Baogen's arm.
"Come on, let's go out and talk."
Forget it, let’s go, Liu Baogen sighed in his heart.
As soon as she walked out, Xu Yingying looked much more relaxed.
"Baogen, where are we going now? To the movies or just for a stroll?"
"Yingying, I have something to tell you."
"Okay, go ahead." Xu Yingying stopped and looked at him seriously.
"Yingying, I'm in a critical period in the army right now, so I can't think about getting married yet. But don't worry, we can get engaged first to finalize our relationship. Once we're engaged, we'll be officially a married couple."
Xu Yingying was naturally not very happy when she heard that it was just an engagement and not a marriage. But when she thought about her own preparations, she smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I agree."
Liu Baogen also laughed. Yingying is still reasonable.
"If you're getting engaged, let's celebrate first."
Originally, Liu Baogen wanted to return to the army as soon as possible to investigate the whereabouts of his child bride.
Seeing that Xu Yingying agreed to his suggestion and looked very happy, he resisted the urge to go back and talk.
The two went shopping in the shopping mall and bought some things, and then Liu Baogen was taken by Xu Yingying to her dormitory.
She has a family in the city, but their house is not spacious. If she lives there, she can only share a room with her parents, with just a curtain between them. It is very inconvenient for her since she is so old.
So as soon as she got a job and could live in the dormitory, she moved out immediately.
Although the dormitory was not very big and she had to share bunk beds with others, since they were all girls, she still preferred living in the dormitory.
It was still working hours, and when she brought Liu Baogen in, the dormitory was empty.
As soon as they entered the dormitory, Xu Yingying locked the door to prevent someone from suddenly pushing the door open.
Liu Baogen saw it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Baogen, sit down and rest for a while. I'll pour you a glass of water."
Liu Baogen also got used to lying directly on her bed.
Xu Yingying stood in front of the table, opened the thermos, poured half a cup of water, looked back, and saw Liu Baogen lying there with his arms as a pillow, not paying any attention to this side.
She took out a folded paper bag from her pocket, opened it, shook it, poured it all into the cup, picked up her spoon, and stirred it a few times.
Seeing that the contents of the cup had completely melted and nothing unusual could be seen, Xu Yingying picked up the cup and walked to the bed.
"It's still warm, take a few sips first."
Liu Baogen was a little thirsty, so he sat up, took the cup, blew on it twice, and started drinking.
After taking a few sips, he felt that the water tasted a little strange, different from before. But he was really thirsty, so he drank half a cup in one go.
Although she didn't finish it, Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief. She took the cup, thought for a moment, and drank the remaining half cup herself.
After drinking the water, she put the cup back on the table, sat beside the bed and chatted with Liu Baogen in a casual manner.
There were only the two of them in the room, and the door was closed, so the atmosphere naturally became ambiguous.
As Xu Yingying was talking, she also lay down and began to draw circles on Liu Baogen's chest with her fingers.
Liu Baogen thought that the two of them had not been close for a long time, and his body felt a little hot, so he started to move his hands as well.
After a while, he felt his body getting hotter and hotter, and he wanted to vent.
Looking at Xu Yingying up close, she seemed much more charming.
It just so happened that Xu Yingying also wanted to seduce Liu Baogen. She originally just wanted to sit for a while and then leave, but she started to indulge herself as soon as she was "impulsive".
After a while, a blushing and heart-pounding sound came from the room.
Only when some people started to come back from get off work did Liu Baogen tie his belt and leave in a hurry.
Although Xu Yingying had packed up and looked very happy, no one could guess what had happened before.
Some of her roommates made fun of her, and some of the older ones gave her some advice.
Xu Yingying said proudly, "Baogen and I are getting engaged, and we'll be an engaged couple from now on."
"Engagement, not marriage right away?"
They are not very particular about this. Once both parties have decided, they will go straight to the wedding procedure.
"Baogen thinks we should be more serious. He doesn't want to let me down." She said this with a shy look on her face.
Some people joined in the congratulations, while others sneered.
No matter how much you touch it up, it's still the same thing as before marriage, not at all refined.
Maybe because Xu Yingying put something in the water, the two of them were a little more intense today, with more times and longer durations. Liu Baogen even pounded his waist as he walked.
It's enjoyable, but it's a bit tiring for the waist.
Now he also felt something was wrong. They had done that before, so why did he want it so much today and was not satisfied with just one time?
He felt something was wrong but he didn't think too much about it. He just thought it was because they hadn't been close for a long time and he was angry.
After Xu Yingying finished showing off, she couldn't help but look at her belly.
This time they were in such a hurry that neither of them took any measures, and Baogen didn't pay attention.
I don't know if she can get what she wants.
Haven’t they got the engagement certificate yet? Only after they get the certificate will she be completely relieved.
Finally returning to the army, Liu Baogen was sent back to be given some tasks, and the investigation of his own child bride had to be put aside for the time being.
When he lay in bed at night, Liu Baogen calmed down and began to think.
He began to recall and review the situation.
When Hongdou came to the army, it must have been before the army sent people to the countryside to investigate him.
If that's the case, then it means he was hitchhiking into the city for a few days?
By the way, it seemed that it was after he came back from the city that Zheng Tiansen and Tong Dazhu’s attitude towards him changed.
Could it be that Zheng Tiansen and the others knew his secret by then?
Even though he recalled the key time points, Liu Baogen still did not connect Linglong with the child bride he disliked.
He just thought that Zheng Tiansen and Tong Dazhu must have seen Linglong first, and at the same time received the report from his "restless" child bride.
Whether it was out of a dirty thought of eliminating competitors or because of their kinship, their attitude towards him changed drastically.
Thinking this way, he felt that all the irrational logic made sense.
But, did Hongdou only come to the army once to report and then leave, or did she stay in the army?
No, he would go to the sentries early tomorrow morning with some good cigarettes and candies to try to get close to them and see if he could get anything out of them.
