Once the door was closed, no one knew what the two were doing in the room.
After handing the quilt to Meng Qidi, Ling Xiao went to take a bath with a bucket.
Each household in the staff building has a private shower room, but no toilet, so it can only be used for showering.
There is only one faucet in the shower room, which is where water is collected on weekdays.
Meng Qidi walked around the house. At the door was the same stove she had built last year, with a lot of coal briquettes piled next to it.
On weekdays, I usually cook outside.
The space in the house is not big, just one bedroom and one living room. To say it is one bedroom and one living room is a nice way of putting it, it is just a large house with a wall in the middle.
The back is for sleeping and the front is for eating.
There wasn't much in the front compartment, just a brand new small table and four small chairs.
In addition to the bed, wardrobe and desk in the back compartment, there are two large wooden boxes in the open space behind the bed, and the quilt was taken out from there.
After locking the door tightly, Meng Qidi turned around and came back to make the bed. The room was so small that if she put a camp bed in it, she wouldn't be able to move her feet.
I guess the bed is the biggest thing in the whole room.
When Ling Xiao came out of the shower, Meng Qidi was already sitting on the bed, leaning back and reading a book.
There were two quilts on the bed, one for each person...
Meng Qidi glanced at Ling Xiao and quickly looked away. After coming out of the shower, he was only wearing a set of autumn clothes.
Due to years of exercise, his clothes are quite tight-fitting and I can feel his solid muscles through his clothes. I guess they would feel good to touch.
Realizing that she was thinking too much, Meng Qidi raised her head and quickly collected her thoughts.
Sitting down on the bed, Ling Xiao wiped his hair with a towel and said, "The room is too small. Let's move out in a few months."
The family quarters allocated to the recruit company are not as spacious as the previous ones.
He didn’t think so before. He always felt that the smaller the house, the better. The smaller it was, the closer the relationship between him and Xiaoqi would be.
Now he felt it was too small. How could he be so selfish? Such a small house was unfair to Xiaoqi...
"No hurry, no hurry. Quickly dry your hair and go to bed. It's almost one o'clock."
His hair was almost dry, and Ling Xiao placed the towel on the back of the chair beside the bed.
The bed beside me sank, and the faint scent of soap and the warm breath of a man hit me in the face.
Meng Qidi's hand holding the book was a little unsteady, the back of her ears turned red instantly, and she held the book tighter in her hand uncomfortably.
We slept in the same bed before, and I had no intention of living with Ling Xiao, so I didn't react like this...
"Turn off the lights, stop reading, and go to bed." Ling Xiao reached out and took the book from Meng Qidi's hand.
The man suddenly came closer, and the masculine scent hit her face. Meng Qidi's heart beat faster, and she became nervous for the first time since her rebirth.
"Don't want to go to sleep?" Ling Xiao's suspicious voice sounded.
Meng Qidi came to her senses and realized that she had been thinking too much. She quickly slid into the quilt and hid herself in it.
Ling Xiao had no choice but to gently pull the corner of her quilt before lying down.
I had no dreams all night until dawn.
Meng Qidi opened her eyes again and found Ling Xiao had already gotten up. The bed beside her was empty and the quilt was neatly folded.
I guess he went for training.
After washing up, there was a rhythmic knock on the door. Meng Qidi opened the door and Guo Fengjiao appeared at the door.
"Xiaoqi, did I disturb you?" Guo Fengjiao asked with a smile.
Meng Qidi shook her head. "I just got up. What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
"Ling Xiao is out on a mission today, so he asked me to let you know. He will probably be back in the evening. This guy ran away just after you arrived. How about having lunch at my house?"
Meng Qidi shook her head. "No, no, I don't want to cook, so I can just eat in the cafeteria. I have to go out later, and I don't know if Xiangwu can make it back in time."
Guo Fengjiao didn't force it, "Okay, then if you haven't eaten, come home."
"Yeah, thank you, sister-in-law."
As soon as Guo Fengjiao left, Meng Qidi changed her clothes, packed up and went out.
The exits for the family building and the military unit are different, with separate gates connecting to the outside.
Meng Qidi went out only after registering at the guard room.
The first destination today is the old man’s house. The things in my hand are two jars of white wine that I took out from the space before going out.
This is the old man's favorite.
She had the old man's address, which he had left for her years ago.
There are buses in Beijing at this time, but the recruit company is a bit far from the city center.
By the time Meng Qidi arrived in the city by bus, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. She looked for the address for a long time and finally found it, but the door was closed...
Meng Qidi was a little annoyed that she didn't remember to call and ask when she came here, so it was all in vain.
Just as I was about to turn around and leave, the gate was suddenly opened and a surprised voice came from inside the door, "Xiao Qi? Why didn't you call me when you came?"
Meng Qidi was helpless and glanced at the old man in formal attire, "Teacher, are you planning to go out?"
"Yes, there is a small gathering. Since you are here, you don't have to go." Zhao Dezhong waved his hand. That group of people were not as important as his apprentice.
Meng Qidi laughed, "Teacher, please go. I'm already in Beijing. It's not like I won't see you. I guess you'll be annoyed when you see me in the future."
Zhao Dezhong paused and looked Meng Qidi up and down. She was not dressed inappropriately. He glanced at his watch and said, "There is still time. Come with me. I will take you back later."
Ling Xiao's crappy place is too far away, and it would be troublesome for the girl to go back and forth.
Meng Qidi twitched her lips, "Are you sure? This is a party for you and your friends, why should I go?"
"Of course I'm introducing you. Are you stupid? This is what networking is all about!"
Zhao Dezhong was so disappointed with her, but she didn't even think about whether the people who were partying with him could be ordinary people.
That's something no one else could even imagine.
The old man insisted on going alone, and Meng Qidi had no choice but to follow him. To be honest, she was planning to go back to farming in the future, so these connections would be useless...
Moreover, she didn't believe that people would remember her after just one meeting, unless she did something memorable...
In the car, the old man gave instructions all the way with a worried look on his face. It wasn't because he was worried that the student wouldn't know how to socialize and embarrass him, but he wanted her to try her best to establish connections...
Knowing that the old man was doing this for her own good, Meng Qidi nodded in agreement, even though she would go back to her hometown in the future and probably would never have anything to do with his friends again.
After listening for a long time, Meng Qidi suddenly asked, "So, teacher, this is not an ordinary party, right?"
If this was an ordinary gathering, the old man would definitely not give such instructions. He would probably say, "Do whatever makes you feel comfortable."
Zhao Dezhong coughed lightly, "What kind of party is this? It's just a meal. It's not important. Just follow me when the time comes."
Meng Qidi...
She finally understood the old man's ability to fool people. If he didn't want to talk, then he wouldn't talk. She had nothing to be ashamed of. She would just go. If the enemy came, she would fight back. If the water came, she would block it with earth...
