"We're getting married."
"Tomorrow, go get the certificate."
Mu Huaixi looked at Ying Mingcheng, who was obviously frightened, stared at his red face, and couldn't help but secretly curled up the corners of her mouth.
"Should!"
Seeing how calm he was just now, and how he was in control of everything, I thought he didn't care about anything!
Ying Mingcheng stared at her for a long time, listening to his heartbeat that was even more intense than a snare drum. He licked his dry lips and finally found his voice. "You, what did you say?"
"We'll get the certificate tomorrow." Mu Huaixi answered very quickly. Ying Mingcheng's gaze was too scorching, and she couldn't dodge it in time. The cheeks behind her ears gradually turned red.
She turned her head and said in a very low voice, "Go get the certificate tomorrow morning. It shouldn't delay your mission, right?"
After Mu Huaixi finished speaking, she ran out in a panic, but was grabbed by the man by the wrist.
"Why are you running? I'm just asking, are you telling the truth?"
Ying Mingcheng's voice was still low, but the smile and joy contained in it could not be concealed. His hand circled unconsciously and he couldn't help frowning. Her wrist was really too thin and he would have to take good care of it in the future.
His hand was dry yet warm. Mu Huaixi could only feel a continuous heat coming from her wrist, which directly turned her cheeks red. She tried to pull her hand away, but he insisted on getting a definite answer from her. She could only turn around and glare at the man, then nodded gently, "I'll wait for you at the door of the guesthouse tomorrow morning. If you don't come, I will..."
"Come, come, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning," Ying Mingcheng suddenly collapsed, pressed her down on the seat, and in a blink of an eye he was outside the door. "You must not be full, eat something more! I have to run something first, see you tomorrow morning!"
Mu Huaixi looked at his jumping back in surprise. It was hard to imagine that this man had just told her not to be anxious and was going to get her married!
After the people walked away, Mu Huaixi withdrew her gaze. She covered her throbbing heart, feeling the fear welling up in her, and whispered to herself, "Don't be afraid, this is your choice."
Ying Mingcheng had planned everything for her, painting a bright future for her that included family, studies, a career, friends, and even a partner, but he wasn't the only one missing. And the last person to do something like that for her was her grandfather. Even if the two families had an engagement, even if her grandfather had saved the Ying family's life, he wouldn't have had to go to this extent.
Along the way, she felt Ying Mingcheng's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and his selflessness at this moment was like a mirror, reflecting her timidity. When treating Boss Wang, Mu Huaixi thought she had gotten rid of her past life, but then she realized that from the moment she opened her eyes until now, all she had been thinking about was herself. She was afraid of being hurt, afraid of being contaminated by karma, and afraid that things would get out of control. Continuing with this mentality would only harm herself, let alone becoming a doctor to inherit her grandfather's legacy.
"Healing begins with the heart, and with a righteous heart, the true path follows." From the first day she followed her grandfather to study medicine, he had told her to be upright and mindful. Fortunately, she woke up not too late. In her previous life, she only wanted someone to protect her from wandering, someone to give her support. In this life, someone was planning for her, and she shouldn't have rejected him.
Mu Huaixi didn't agree because she was moved. When Ying Mingcheng told her about his plans, she realized his sincerity from her inexplicable anger and fell in love with him. Ask yourself, if you miss a man as honest, tolerant and gentle as Ying Mingcheng, where can you find him?
As for the age issue that he was worried about, it was not a problem for her. If she really met a "young and handsome" man, she really couldn't stand it.
The biggest change Mu Huaixi experienced in her new life was learning to follow her heart. She no longer thought about the future or the past, but only about the present. Now that she had a clear understanding of her current heart, she decided to take down this man who could not be missed!
Mu Huaixi touched his hot earlobe and packed up all the leftovers on the table and took them back.
The next morning, she got up before daybreak. The public bathroom in the military guesthouse had hot water 24 hours a day. After washing, she dried her long hair and combed it. Just as she was about to braid it, she remembered what the sister-in-law with big wavy hair said. After hesitating for a moment, she grabbed a strand of hair from her temples and tied it up loosely, making a "princess hairstyle" that was popular in later generations.
She adjusted her temples in the mirror again, hesitated for a moment, took out the lip balm she bought at the department store, sipped it, and walked towards the room with the basin. As soon as she reached the door, she was startled by the person squatting beside it. "You, why are you here?"
In the dim corridor light, Ying Mingcheng's eyes were particularly bright. He stood up, holding his hat, and took the basin from her hand. "I said I would come to pick you up."
Mu Huaixi hurried inside and changed into the jacquard satin jacket. He then pocketed the village committee certificate and ID card given by his uncle, and said to the "door god" standing at the door, "Let's go! Don't delay your departure."
"No hurry." Ying Mingcheng couldn't help but smile when he saw her. He took the package from her hand and followed her forward. "I've taken a day off. Let's go have breakfast first."
"Why did you ask for leave?" Mu Huaixi looked at him in surprise, feeling a little uneasy. She didn't want to delay the army's mission because of herself.
"Don't worry," Ying Mingcheng continued to smile at her. He wanted to reach out and rub her head, but then he retracted his hand and explained, "This is a major event in my life. I've already reported it. It won't be a problem. But it's only one day off. I'm sorry to bother you."
Mu Huaixi pursed her lips and didn't respond. She wouldn't be so foolish as to say that she wasn't aggrieved.
Seeing that she had returned to her aloof demeanor when they first met, Ying Mingcheng smiled with his lips pursed. He didn't say anything, but just walked beside her, secretly glancing at her from time to time.
Mu Huaixi just kept walking forward. As she walked, she felt one of her ears getting hot. She turned around and glared at the smirking man next to her, then asked unhappily, "Why are you always looking at me?"
"You are pretty," Ying Mingcheng answered immediately, and then looked at her carefully. He already knew that the girl from the Mu family was pretty, but he didn't expect that she would become even more beautiful just by changing her hairstyle.
Yesterday he thought the little girl was a bud that was about to bloom, but today he saw the crabapple blossoming in front of him, which was so eye-catching.
Mu Huaixi paused and looked back at him suspiciously. It was hard to imagine that these words came from the mouth of the always serious Deputy Battalion Commander Ying. If Xiao Gao saw him like this, he would probably be disillusioned.
Ying Mingcheng coughed lightly, and seeing that they were heading towards the guesthouse restaurant, he reached out and gently put his arm around her shoulders, turning her half a circle, "Come this way, let's go to the street near the registration office for breakfast."
Mu Huaixi frowned. She felt that the food in the guesthouse was very good and she shouldn't waste money going out, but today was really special, so she just followed him obediently.
