Chapter 37: Do you really want to marry Lin Wanqing?
Lin Wanqing was stared at by that passionate gaze, which she couldn't ignore. When she looked up, her eyes accidentally met his.
What surprised Lin Wanqing was that Si Ye was actually a local, which made her stare at Si Ye for a while.
This person gave him an exceptionally gentle feeling at this moment, and the violent temper she had shown when she accidentally bumped into him before was gone.
The person in front of him had bright eyes, as sharp as an eagle's. He seemed to be lost in memories, and all the things that happened in the past had made him softer.
He lowered his eyes, as if looking at her.
Lin Wanqing began to search for this person in her memory. She had never seen a tall and strong boy of about her age before.
The moment Si Ye looked into Lin Wanqing's eyes, his heart was in his throat. He had a one in ten thousand hope in his heart that maybe Lin Wanqing had always been thinking about him!
But Lin Wanqing still looked at him as if he were a stranger.
Si also wondered if he was being too sentimental. Maybe the promise was just spoken casually and he was the only one who remembered it.
He concealed his disappointment and began to give his speech.
The sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the auditorium, and coupled with his handsome face, a group of little girls showed admiration.
Wan Jiajia's eyes lit up as she leaned over to Lin Wanqing's ear and whispered, "I'm sure the girls in our factory will go crazy once this heroic speech is over."
Lin Wanqing replied: "Is this what the higher-ups want to see?"
Isn’t the point to help these officers find wives?
Although Lin Wanqing thought these soldiers were all very handsome, she was already disappointed with men.
She and Zhang Guodong grew up together. She thought they were childhood sweethearts and getting married was a natural thing. But the truth was, Zhang Guodong only loved her money, and the so-called love was fake and a lie.
Thunderous applause rang out again, and Lin Wanqing came back to her senses. She looked up at the stage and found that Si Ye's speech had ended.
A group of little girls rushed to the stage, intending to ask for autographs from these heroes.
Wan Jiajia grabbed the most advantageous position, pulled Lin Wanqing and jumped directly onto the podium in one step.
When Lin Wanqing came to her senses, she was already standing in front of Si Ye.
"Captain! Please sign for us!" Wan Jiajia handed over the notebook.
Si Ye's eyes were fixed on Lin Wanqing, and he asked nervously, "Lin Wanqing?"
"And me, and me, Wan Jiajia!" Wan Jiajia pointed at herself, "My name."
Lin Wanqing was stunned. She didn't expect that the team leader actually knew her name.
Si's hands were shaking as he wrote. He secretly laughed at himself for being so useless. He had never been so nervous even when he was fighting the enemy to the death with a bayonet.
Lin Wanqing watched him write his name in the notebook.
The handwriting was elegant and graceful, which was very different from his tough image.
The more Lin Wanqing looked at it, the more she felt that the handwriting was somewhat similar to her own, and suddenly many images flashed through her mind.
She was teaching a little boy how to write, throwing her copybook to him and asking him to fill it up.
Lin Wanqing naively thought at the time, if this person's handwriting could be very similar to hers in the future, wouldn't that make him do her homework for her? In order to be lazy, she tried every possible way.
Lin Wanqing raised her head again and looked at Si Ye's face.
This face no longer has the childishness of his previous childhood. The little boy was thin and small, and looked malnourished. Lin Wanqing always called him bean sprout.
Looking at him now, he has a strong man's physique, broad shoulders, and is a man of iron will.
It was different, not at all. Lin Wanqing was not sure if the Si in front of her was the little boy in her memory.
Lin Wanqing asked tentatively, "Beans, bean sprouts?"
Si Ye's eyes suddenly burst into a bright light, his fingers couldn't help but tighten, and he said happily: "Lin Wanqing, you finally remembered who I am."
Wan Jiajia's eyes widened, darting between the two of them. "You two know each other!"
"Yes, I know him." Lin Wanqing replied, but she didn't go into too much detail. Si Ye used to live in a welfare home funded by the Lin family, and she thought Si Ye might not want to mention this sad past.
Si Ye took a deep breath and said a little aggrievedly: "I thought you really forgot me."
Lin Wanqing's eyes flashed with embarrassment, "That's because you've changed so much compared to before."
She never thought that the bean sprout could grow into a man.
Besides, she had always called him Bean Sprout before, so she had no idea what his real name was.
Si Ye just smiled and said nothing. He looked at Lin Wanqing greedily, wanting to glimpse a glimpse of her past from her current appearance.
Is she doing well during the days he is away?
He wanted to ask, but didn't dare.
Chen Lie and several platoon leaders around him stared at Si Ye.
"Coward." Chen Lie commented.
He walked over without thinking.
"Our head of the division has met an old acquaintance." Chen Lie intervened and stood directly between the two of them.
"Yeah." Si Ye nodded and gave him a fierce look, warning him not to talk nonsense.
Chen Lie ignored Si Ye and pushed him aside, saying, "Since we're old acquaintances, why don't we get together someday? Add me as an outsider. I want to try the local specialties."
"I'll have to trouble these two colleagues to act as guides."
"My name is Chen Lie, and I'm the instructor of the regiment." Chen Lie turned to Wan Jiajia, nodded and smiled, and asked, "What's this comrade's name?"
"Wan Jiajia." Wan Jiajia replied impatiently.
Wan Jiajia immediately focused all her attention on Chen Lie, wondering why he was not among the speakers just now?
He is well-mannered and wears glasses, and you can tell at first glance that he is a cultured person.
Chen Lie smiled at her. Wan Jiajia pursed her lips embarrassedly and lowered her eyes, but she couldn't help but look up again.
Lin Wanqing and Si Ye watched the two people flirting with each other, and immediately realized that they had become outsiders.
In order to bring her good friends together, Lin Wanqing agreed immediately.
"Of course, I know the characteristics of Luancheng best."
Si Ye's eyes flickered and he asked, "When then?"
"No, I mean when are you free."
Lin Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "How about this Sunday?"
Si Ye quickly said, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he remembered to ask the two people beside him, "What do you think?"
Chen Lie nodded. "Sure, I can come any time."
Wan Jiajia was a very outgoing person, so she asked enthusiastically, "What do you like to eat?"
"I can take you to different restaurants according to your preferences."
"There's meat pies in the west of the city, hot pot in the east, and there's a place that makes delicious fish too."
Wan Jiajia is a foodie, and she knows everything edible in Luancheng.
Chen Lie was amused by her and said, "It depends on what you two ladies want to say. We'll eat whatever you want to recommend for us to eat."
Lin Wanqing patted Wan Jiajia and said with a smile, "The decision is up to you."
"That's great!" Wan Jiajia said excitedly, "Let's go eat fish! There's a place that makes really delicious fish soup!"
The four of them made an agreement to go out for a trip together on Sunday.
After the others left, Chen Lie kept winking at Si Ye, meaning, "I, your brother, have to take action, right?"
Si also glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, "Thank you."
He was so excited that he couldn't help laughing in front of Chen Lie.
"Tsk." Chen Lie deliberately mocked him, "We, the decisive and ruthless first-class combat hero, didn't expect you to be so cowardly when it comes to love."
Si Ye looked in the direction where Lin Wanqing disappeared and sighed, "You don't know what happened between us."
"Then you should know her background." Chen Lie said, "She's a capitalist daughter, a widow, and has a child who's a few years old."
"If you really plan to marry her, your future career will be over. Think carefully."
