In an instant, Ling Xiaohe heard the sound of his own heart pounding.
He stared at her blankly, then hurriedly looked away, wanting to look but not daring to.
Only then did Su Huazhu finish processing the address the other party had given her. It seemed... it was her own home?!
"Comrade, who are you looking for at No. 90, XX Alley?!"
She definitely didn't know the person in front of her, and she didn't seem to have any relatives or friends like him. Maybe she knew Grandpa Feng or Uncle Cai.
The clear, cool voice was like a flowing spring, and Ling Xiaohe found it extremely pleasant to hear.
"I'm looking for Su Feng, I'm his comrade-in-arms, my name is Ling Xiaohe."
Unexpectedly, the girl asked that question. Ling Xiaohe tried his best to remain calm, immediately introduced himself, and looked at her with bright eyes.
ah? !
He came to find his brother.
This was truly a lucky accident. Su Huazhu relaxed her guard a bit, since this place wasn't far from home.
"Then come with me."
This person is definitely not a bad guy. Not only does he exude a strong aura, but he's also wearing a military uniform. Su Huazhu felt even more at ease and directly told Ling Xiaohe to come with her.
"Okay, thank you."
When Ling Xiaohe heard that this girl, whose heart was still pounding, wanted to lead the way, he was overjoyed. How could he possibly refuse?!
Su Huazhu walked ahead, while he walked a short distance behind her, the two of them walking one after the other.
Today is the 29th of the lunar year, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The festive atmosphere is already very strong. Although it's cold, children on winter vacation are playing in the alley, and there are also many people buying New Year's goods.
About six minutes later, Su Huazhu walked to her own door before turning around to look at the person who was a few steps away.
“This is number 90, xx Hutong, Su Feng is my younger brother. However, my younger brother is not home right now, he just went out.”
Su Huazhu pointed to the door number before revealing her identity and also told the other party that her brother was not there.
So she's Su Feng's sister!
Ling Xiaohe was overjoyed. This was perfect! He had been wondering how to get to know her all the way here. Turns out she's Su Feng's sister! Now he could take advantage of his proximity to her!
"I'm here today to familiarize myself with the place. May I visit your uncle and aunt?!"
It's such a pity and a shame that Su Feng isn't here, but he doesn't want to leave like this, because he can only come back after the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Just as Su Huazhu was about to say that her parents were not home either, the courtyard gate was opened from the inside.
"Little sister, why didn't you come in when you got home?!"
Su Ze was about to go out to buy some soda when she saw her younger sister and a soldier standing at the door. Su looked at her sister and the soldier with a puzzled expression.
Isn't that Su Feng's older brother?!
“Brother Su, it’s me, Ling Xiaohe, Su Feng’s comrade-in-arms. We met at the train station the day before yesterday.”
Ling Xiaohe's eyes lit up when he saw Su Ze. Of course he remembered Su Feng's older brother, and it was really great to see him now.
"Hey, it's you. I remember you, you came to see Xiaofeng, right?! Come in, come sit down at home."
Upon hearing what the soldier said, Su Ze carefully examined the man's face and immediately remembered him. He then warmly invited Ling Xiaohe inside.
Ling Xiaohe certainly wouldn't stand on ceremony. He had just regretted that Su Feng wasn't there, but it wouldn't matter if Brother Su were here.
"Brother Su, I've come to wish you an early Happy New Year."
Fortunately, Ling Xiaohe remembered to bring some fruit from home before he came, and he just bought some sweets at the department store, otherwise it would have been too impolite to arrive empty-handed.
"Come in, come in. Why are you being so polite? Come inside and have some tea and warm yourself by the fire."
Su warmly welcomed Ling Xiaohe into the courtyard and personally led him to the living room.
This person is actually my brother's comrade-in-arms. My brother knows him. Su Huazhu is here.
She walked behind, first closing the courtyard gate, and then followed her into the living room.
In the living room, Cai Qingwen and Lao Feng were chatting by the fire when they saw the stranger next to Su Ze. They were very curious.
"Comrade Ling, these are my Uncle Cai and Uncle Feng. They are both good friends of my parents and they are spending the New Year with us this year."
"Uncle Cai, Uncle Feng, this little brother's comrade-in-arms, Comrade Ling."
Su quickly introduced the two sides to each other and invited Ling Xiaohe to sit down.
At this moment, Su Huazhu immediately poured tea upon entering the room and then personally handed it to Ling Xiaohe.
"Brother Ling, please have some tea."
Since she's comrade-in-arms of Brother 놆, it's definitely right for her to call him "brother".
"Okay, okay, thank you."
Ling Xiaohe awkwardly reached out to take it, but accidentally touched Su Huazhu's delicate, warm fingers. Instantly, it felt as if an electric current had traveled from her fingers into his body.
For a moment, he couldn't help but blush, and after taking the teacup, he was somewhat at a loss.
"Comrade Xiao Ling, come sit down and warm yourself by the fire."
“Xiaofeng and his parents just went out. Even if they’re not here, it’s the same as if we are.”
Seeing that Ling Xiaohe was uncomfortable, Lao Feng and Cai Qingwen quickly greeted him warmly, so as not to give the impression that they were indifferent.
"Comrade Ling, today my younger brother and my parents are rushing to his fiancé's house to discuss marriage before the New Year. Comrade Ling, your family is also from Beijing, right?!"
Su told Ling Xiaohe why his parents and younger brother weren't home, not wanting the other to feel that his family hadn't taken good care of them.
"Yes, my family is from Beijing. My family is all in Beijing, living in the Army Military Region compound. But Su Feng's girlfriend's family doesn't live in our compound."
Su Huazhu was still there, so Ling Xiaohe quickly informed her of his family situation, hoping she could learn more about his family's circumstances.
This young man comes from a privileged background, a military family, and his family is quite well-off.
Cai Qingwen and Lao Feng were very surprised. People like them and those in the military were from completely different systems and rarely had any interaction.
"How about we call you Xiao Ling?! Xiao Feng is supposed to be a military doctor, but you don't look like one at all."
Cai Qingwen was much more talkative and outspoken than Lao Feng. He felt that the young soldier in front of him didn't seem like a military doctor.
Tall and imposing, masculine and handsome, with a sharp aura, and rather rough hands, he didn't look like someone who used a scalpel.
Not only Cai Qingwen thought Ling Xiaohe didn't seem like a military doctor, but Su Ze and Lao Feng also thought he didn't.
"Everyone can call me Xiao Ling. I'm not a military doctor, I'm a battalion commander now. I met Su Feng at a field hospital on the border. I was seriously wounded then, and Su Feng saved me. Now he's at Southern Military Medical University, and I'm studying at the military academy next to his. We often see each other on Sundays."
