Mu Huaixi originally wanted to rush to the Second Battalion to find Cao Aijun to ask for clarification, but when he went downstairs he found that it was snowing.
No wonder she just saw everything white outside the window.
Flying snowflakes were dancing in the air. Not far away on the road, Wang Xiaohua was crying and greeting her. Upon asking, she found out that she was called by Captain Wei to inquire about the situation. The communicator who led Wang Xiaohua also wanted to find Luo Rui. Luo Rui was caught red-handed when she was carrying Mu Huaixi's cotton coat downstairs.
Mu Huaixi knew that it was probably because of Ying Mingcheng, so she followed him without any concern, and only then did she know the whole story of last night's incident.
Captain Wei was very polite to them. He kindly asked a few questions about what happened after Ying Mingcheng returned yesterday, and then had someone take them out, but left Luo Rui behind.
Mu Huaixi was also worried about Luo Rui, so he said a few words to Wang Xiaohua, asking her to go back to the health center first, while he would wait at the door.
She couldn't stand too far away from the office, so she could only hide in the corner at the end of the corridor and wait for Luo Rui, but the noise in the office still reached her ears.
Mu Huaixi looked at the snowflakes floating outside the corridor, but was shocked in her heart. When Captain Wei saw Luo Rui, he slammed the table and cursed, completely different from just now.
Mu Huaixi stamped her feet and reached out to catch the snowflakes flying outside. She never imagined that Ying Mingcheng was writing a self-criticism in the corridor downstairs.
Ying Mingcheng has been in the army for so many years that he has even mastered the clerical work. The only thing that bothers him is this damn self-criticism letter.
He stumbled through a page and suddenly remembered the first time he trained hard and got first place in the team. It was because Instructor Li at that time, now Political Commissar Li, had tricked him into thinking that he wouldn't have to write a self-criticism if he got first place.
"Eight thousand words can make a hero stump," Ying Mingcheng sighed to the sky, but was hit on the forehead by a small snowball falling from the upstairs. The chill instantly invaded his senses, stimulating him to close his eyes.
"ah!"
Ying Mingcheng quickly opened his eyes and saw Mu Huaixi's little head appearing above him. She was leaning on the railing with both hands and looking at him in surprise.
"Why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time!"
The little girl's complaints were like snowflakes floating in the sky, soft and light, and seemed like she was acting coquettishly. Ying Mingcheng covered his chest unconsciously. He had an illusion that the snowball had hit his heart instead of his forehead.
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon," Ying Mingcheng smiled brightly at Mu Huaixi, turned around and ran into the political commissar's office, and slammed the unfinished review on the table.
Political Commissar Li was just about to pick up the phone when he was startled by him. He rolled his eyes and was about to curse, but Ying Mingcheng had already turned and ran out, loudly announcing as he ran, "Xiao Xi is here to see me!"
"..." Political Commissar Li stared at his cheerful back as he left and decisively called the military district. "We really need to find someone to deal with him!"
Ying Mingcheng ran all the way to the stairs before stopping. He wiped his face and returned to his normal appearance, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He pretended to be calm and climbed up one step at a time. He greeted the comrades passing by on the way. Sure enough, he saw Mu Huaixi waiting for him at the stairs on the upper floor.
"Why are you waiting here? It's so windy." Ying Mingcheng pulled her to the corridor in front of the bathroom, moved sideways to block the wind for her, stared at her but didn't say anything.
Mu Huaixi belatedly recalled the embarrassment of the morning, but worry took over. She looked him up and down, and suddenly remembered what Xiaohua had said. She asked worriedly, "Are you hurt again?"
"No," Ying Mingcheng hurriedly denied. How could he be injured while sparring with Cao Aijun? Even if he was injured, it was only a superficial wound.
Mu Huaixi looked at his slightly raised left shoulder and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she started talking about Cao Aijun.
"Nothing, just a small conflict." Ying Mingcheng didn't want to say more, and he didn't want her to know about the nonsense Cao Aijun had said. His eyes darkened and he turned to care about her. "Are you feeling better? Why are you here?"
"Xiaohua was called in for questioning. I followed her because I was worried. Luo Rui is here too," Mu Huaixi said, staring at him closely. Seeing that he still didn't intend to tell the truth, the last trace of smile on her lips disappeared.
Ying Mingcheng was about to ask her if there was anything she found difficult to get used to after entering the mountains when the commander's office was pushed open. Luo Rui rushed out as if running for her life. Upon seeing him, she gritted her teeth and accused him, "Ying Mingcheng! You've really done me a lot of harm!"
She had simply revealed the truth to Ying Mingcheng, yet she became the primary target of criticism and even had to write a self-criticism! She said it was Cao Aijun who should be criticized. How could a grown man still be considered a man if he gave a woman a hard time over a little sentimental thing? Doctor Mu was the weak one. If it were her, she would have slammed her food plate into that bastard's face in the cafeteria that day, and challenged him every day with different things like cross-country racing, target shooting, and fighting, until his head turned green and the mere sight of her gave him a headache!
Although she is an instructor, the rules of their women's independent company are like this: whoever has the bigger fist will be obeyed. If she really talks to him like Political Commissar Li did, I'm afraid she will produce a Lin Daiyu in the company!
Ying Mingcheng understood immediately when he saw her exasperated look. He chuckled, made the number "eight" with his hands, and asked her, "My number, what's yours?"
Luo Rui straightened his back instantly, laughed heartily, stretched out three fingers and shook them, "That's only my number. I don't think you can finish it even if you bite the pen in half, hahahaha!"
Ying Mingcheng wanted to sigh in worry, but when he met Xiaoxi's worried eyes, he immediately denied it, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't write much because I don't make many mistakes. How could such a small thing be difficult for me?"
Luo Rui yelled that she was the innocent victim of the disaster and insisted that Ying Mingcheng treat her to a meal. After a whole morning of arguing, it was almost lunchtime, so the three of them went to the cafeteria together.
Ying Mingcheng felt something was wrong when he came out of the cafeteria. Mu Huaixi only chatted with Luo Rui during dinner. He wanted to talk about her work and life, but Xiaoxi either lowered her head to eat or answered a few words before turning to other topics.
"What happened?" He followed Mu Huaixi in silence all the way back to the guesthouse. When he saw her open the door, he suddenly remembered what happened in the morning.
Oh! So it’s because I’m shy!
Ying Mingcheng was a little hesitant. He was wrong this morning and shouldn't have teased Xiao Xi. He wanted to apologize now but was afraid of offending the beauty again. What if she got angry again?
He closed the door calmly, deciding to let the matter go tacitly. As long as neither of them mentioned it, the awkwardness would naturally pass.
But Mu Huaixi didn't seem to think so. As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the wooden box in the corner. When she heard him close the door, she said coldly, "Take it off."
Ying Mingcheng paused and turned towards her in disbelief, only to see her shaking the jade bottle in her hand and glaring at him unhappily.
"Take it off, this isn't the first time." Seeing his face flush, Mu Huaixi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Ying Mingcheng, do you think you can hide your injury from me?"
Ying Mingcheng suddenly remembered that she had noticed his back injury last time, so he immediately tightened his shoulders. Last time, she said that her shoulders were uneven, and it was obvious that her back was injured and her muscles were compensating. He had paid special attention to this when he came back this time, but he was so excited to see her just now that he forgot to disguise himself.
Mu Huaixi didn't know that this man actually wanted to hide his injury. She took out the iodine and cotton swab, and motioned Ying Mingcheng to sit in front of her so that she could clean the wound.
