I like those books so much that Linglong always brings one to work.
When I have free time, I will take it out and read a few words.
She looks so serious, if I didn't know, I would have thought she was going to be the top scorer in the exam.
Sister Niu saw Linglong would read a few pages of a book when she was free, and she just joked that Linglong looked more bookish.
Sister Yuan, who disliked Linglong, muttered "pretentious" several times.
There was a soldier in the kitchen squad who loved reading so much that he shyly asked Linglong if he could lend her a book after she finished it.
Oh, this, Linglong felt embarrassed.
Of course it's not that she's stingy.
It's just that these books were borrowed by her, and she also promised to take good care of them. Without the owner's consent, she felt bad about lending the books out.
But looking at the eager eyes of the young soldier who was about her age, she couldn't say no directly.
"I borrowed this book too. Wait for me to ask the owner. If it's okay, I'll lend it to you, okay?"
The young soldier didn't feel that she was shirking her responsibility. Instead, he nodded embarrassedly, thinking that he had caused her trouble.
When the cafeteria opened for dinner, Linglong couldn't wait to see Zheng Tiansen for the first time, and from time to time she looked for Zheng Tiansen among the military uniforms outside.
When she saw Zheng Tiansen and Xiao Jiang come in together, her expression softened.
Perhaps because Linglong was now responsible for serving meals to the cadres, Zheng Tiansen once again took the initiative to serve meals himself.
As soon as he came up, Linglong quickly finished what she wanted to say.
"Borrow a book?" Zheng Tiansen was stunned.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help but bring the book here to read, just, just." Linglong's voice became lower and lower as she spoke.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. You can lend it to anyone you want after you finish reading it." He said quickly.
Linglong nodded happily. "Thank you, Captain Zheng."
Alas, it would be better if I could call you big brother again.
But he was also very happy to be able to talk to Linglong about this while getting his meal.
Xiao Jiang, who had "lost" his job of getting meals for the team leader and felt completely dysfunctional, sighed for the Nth time today.
With Linglong䀲志㱗 serving meals for him, he probably won’t have the chance to serve meals to the leader in the future.
Linglong Zhi is so charming, but then again, if it were him, he would be happy too.
Didn’t you see the regretful and longing looks on the faces of the young soldiers after Linglong Zhi moved to the food window for the cadres here?
Humph, if you knew that I have met Linglong Zhi privately countless times and have said countless words to him, wouldn't you be envious of me to death?
With a sense of pride and satisfaction, Xiao Jiang felt that the food tasted even better.
Zheng Tiansen took the initiative to go to Linglong's side to queue up for food. Except for Xiao Jiang, no one else thought it was unusual. Only Sister Yuan, who disliked Linglong and wanted to find something to hold against her, noticed the communication between Zheng Tiansen and Linglong.
Being far away, she certainly didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but she felt that it was not a simple conversation like "Which dish do I want?"
Could it be that Zhong Linglong is having an affair with Captain Zheng?
Don’t worry, it’s really possible. This girl has very high standards and is very ambitious.
Captain Zheng was a notorious figure in the regiment and even in the entire division, and countless people had run into obstacles with him.
But looking at Captain Zheng's expression, he didn't seem very cold.
This Zhong Linglong is very cunning.
It was discovered that Linglong was very popular in the kitchen. Even if Sister Yuan wanted to gossip and say something bad about Linglong, she didn't know who to talk to. She could only wait until she got home from get off work and then tell her husband about it.
"Zheng Tiansen? No way."
"Don't think I'm talking nonsense. I saw Captain Zheng talking to her a while ago."
"It could be Tong Dazhu. Zheng Tiansen has a good relationship with Tong Dazhu, so it's normal for him to be familiar with his relatives."
"But."
"Hey, wife, even if they really have something going on, what does it have to do with our family?"
That being said, she couldn't stand Linglong being good, so she could only say unhappily, "Why, my family doesn't care about what they say. Tell me, do you also think she's young and pretty?"
"Stop, stop! Yuan Zhizhi, your thinking is seriously flawed. How can you accuse me of something without any evidence?"
For Linglong, Sister Yuan argued with her husband for several times. She didn't think it was wrong for her to be narrow-minded. Instead, she became more resentful towards Linglong.
Linglong got Zheng Tiansen's permission and lent the book to the young soldier after she finished reading it.
But she also became more cautious and didn't bring her book to work to read.
She also reminded herself that she should not be complacent just because everything is going well. She must be serious about her work and not slack off.
Zheng Tiansen would occasionally chat with her while getting food, such as whether the book was good or not, whether she wanted to buy the book, and so on.
Even though each conversation was short, both of them were very happy.
This made Sister Yuan and Liu Baogen, who was silently paying attention to Linglong, feel very uncomfortable.
He was too embarrassed to appear in front of Linglong these days because Xu Yingying's visit to the army contradicted what he said.
But he couldn't completely stay away from Linglong or even ignore her.
It seemed that the more Linglong resisted and distanced herself from him, the more he longed for her in his heart.
As for Xu Yingying, Liu Baogen decided to go into the city during his break and have a good chat with her.
After thinking it over, he felt that getting engaged first was a good idea.
In this way, Xu Yingying can be stabilized and it will be easier to talk to her family.
He should find a chance to contact his family again.
Because of being reported and punished, he felt a little resentful towards his family, thinking that it was because they did not think highly of Linglong, the child bride, that caused him so much trouble and loss.
However, things have been settled, and he can't really ignore his family forever.
After sending a telegram, he arranged a time to call his family.
This time, he didn't want to talk to the communications company of the army, so he chose to go into the city to fight, so that he could speak more relaxedly without having to worry so much.
When the Liu family received the telegram, Liu Qi took it very seriously and was very happy. At the appointed time, he went into the city early to wait.
Liu Baogen thought about talking to his family first, and then looking for Xu Yingying, and mentioning their engagement.
But after finally getting through, he casually asked whether Linglong had been found, and he got an answer that confirmed his guess and made him angry.
"Is she really in our unit?"
"That's what the Party Secretary said. Are you sure you didn't see Hongdou, Baogen?"
"If I had seen it, would I still lie to you?"
What a child bride! He wondered when the troops found out and reported her to him. He couldn't sleep well until he found out the truth.
Because of this, he didn't even have the mood to tell his family about his plan to get engaged to Xu Yingying.
Originally, he was planning to go back to the army to investigate immediately, but thinking that he had finally made it to the city, after hesitating for a while, he decided to meet Xu Yingying.
At this time, Xu Yingying had just received what she wanted from someone.
