Chapter 44 Waltz of Love
Song Zhan's eyes were too bright for Shen Wanjun to understand; she couldn't tell if he genuinely didn't know or was pretending.
"Dance is serious when viewed by serious people, but nothing looks serious to frivolous people."
As she spoke, she glanced at Song Zhan, implying that he knew exactly who she was referring to.
Song Zhan responded with an "Oh," and then asked, "So, do you think I'm serious or not?"
Shen Wanjun was at a loss for words when he asked her question, and could only laugh it off: "Seriously, my husband is the most serious."
Upright and proper.
"If you ever act inappropriately, it's because of my influence, not your fault."
Song Zhan's eyes were glazed over, as if he had been drinking fake alcohol. "I'm serious with other people, but I can't always be too serious with you."
"When is 'sometimes'?" Shen Wanjun asked.
"Is that even a question?"
"Yes, when?" Shen Wanjun knew he was embarrassed and didn't want to say, but she still wanted to ask.
Teasing rough men has now become her daily source of joy.
“Now,” Song Zhan stared intently at her, “Wife, give me a little indecent dance.”
Shen Wanjun looked down at him, feigning seriousness as she reprimanded him, "Comrade Song Zhan, there are problems with your ideology and conduct."
"Yeah, my wife's criticism is right, so how about I do a dance?" Song Zhan said shamelessly.
Shen Wanjun was taken aback. "What? I'll dance a proper dance for you."
You can be unserious all you want, but I'm a serious guy.
Shen Wanjun took out a small radio and turned it on, and beautiful music came out of it.
The sound wasn't loud, just enough for the two of them to hear.
As the music played, Shen Wanjun danced the Waltz of Love.
She was wearing simple pajamas, and the glow of the incandescent light fell on the hollow of her collarbone.
It made her look as if she were coated with a layer of light.
The deep purple pajamas rippled as she spun, her fingertips brushing through the air, creating a subtle, alluring effect.
Eyelashes cast butterfly-wing-like shadows under the eyes, and a gentle, lively light floats in the pupils.
Song Zhan stared intently, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid, as if the music were choking him.
With a spinning motion on her toes, Shen Wanjun extended her slender, fair hand and took Song Zhan's large, well-defined hand in hers.
Song Zhan sat in a wheelchair, while Shen Wanjun danced gracefully around him, as ethereal as a fairy untouched by the mundane world.
Song Zhan's gaze followed closely, and the fire in his heart gradually burned.
He instinctively rocked his wheelchair to keep up with her rhythm and pace.
The two played around in the room for a long time before finally falling into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Hao Mei and Liang Yi, with dark circles under their eyes, knocked on the door.
"You're back." Shen Wanjun yawned.
The elderly couple weren't home last night, so she and Song Zhan had a carefree and unrestrained time.
Now that the two are back, they have to keep a low profile and live a proper life again.
Shen Wanjun poured herself a glass of water, somewhat regretting her decision.
Why did she kindly invite these two big Buddhas to live in her home? She only now understands the saying that it's easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.
Hao Mei sighed and gulped down a large glass of water.
Liang Yi said irritably, "Why are you sighing? Hao Yan is spoiled by you."
Shen Wanjun pricked up her ears; what was wrong with Hao Yan again?
Hao Mei was about to speak when she saw that Shen Wanjun was still there, so she swallowed back all her grievances.
Shen Wanjun, holding her cup, went back to her room dejectedly.
Gossip in the compound can never be kept secret.
At noon, Shen Wanjun learned the gist of the matter from Dang Xianghong.
It turns out that Hao Mei and Liang Yi spent the entire night dealing with Hao Yan's matter.
Hao Yan went on a blind date but didn't like the man, but she still spent a lot of his money.
They bought and carried a lot of food and daily necessities, big and small bags.
Before leaving, she said directly, "To tell you the truth, I never liked you from the beginning, and you are not good enough for me. That's it, goodbye."
She was about to leave after saying that, but the man objected and grabbed her, preventing her from going.
"You were interested in me from the start? Then why did you spend a whole day eating and drinking with me? You're just wasting your money."
Hao Yan: "Isn't that what you should be doing? You don't even have this much sincerity for a blind date, and you still have the nerve to ask me to come out."
“I’m here on a blind date, but I’m not a sucker. You don’t look like someone who’s going to live a decent life; you just want to spend my money.”
"I'm spending your money to give you face. Don't be ungrateful."
The two were arguing fiercely, and in the midst of their scuffle, Hao Yan suddenly screamed, "Help! Someone's being a pervert!"
Someone reported it to the police, and Hao Yan and the man were both taken in for questioning.
The other party was a soldier, so the police couldn't investigate and could only call in Political Commissar Hao and Liang Yi.
After much persuasion, the man, out of consideration for Liang Yi, finally relented and agreed not to pursue the matter of Hao Yan's slander against him.
However, he demanded that Hao Yangong issue a public apology and return everything he bought, even splitting the cost of a single meal in half.
After hearing this, Shen Wanjun chuckled: "Hao Yan has met her match this time."
Several men had been taken advantage of by her before, but because her brother-in-law was Liang Yi, they didn't dare to pursue the matter and could only suffer in silence.
Dang Xianghong said, "She has a problem with her thinking. If you're going on a blind date, just do it properly. If you don't like someone, just say so openly."
"It's going too far to look down on someone and still spend their money."
Shen Wanjun added, "And she told them in front of them."
Even if you come up with another excuse later saying it's not suitable, it's fine. But telling people bluntly isn't honesty; it's being mentally ill.
Dang Xianghong said disdainfully, "She dares to do this because she thinks no one dares to mess with her, since she thinks her sister and brother-in-law are the only ones who can do it."
As the two were talking, Hao Yan pushed open the door and entered.
There was a moment of awkwardness, and Shen Wanjun said, "Sister Hong, could I have another serving of that dipping sauce?"
"No, prepare a whole bucket of it for me, I'll eat it with rice every day."
Dang Xianghong: "Okay, no problem, I'll make it for you right away."
The two entered the kitchen, Hao Yan's face turned ugly, and she slammed the door shut.
Shen Wanjun said in a low voice, "She'll probably have a hard time finding a good match in the future."
Dang Xianghong snorted coldly: "She deserves it."
Serves you right for being so cocky; you got what's coming to you.
Two days later.
Jiang Weiguo appeared at Shen Wanjun's door again, looking as smart as ever, with a smile in his eyes.
"Battalion Commander Song, this is your letter."
Song Zhan took the letter: "Thank you."
Just as Song Zhan was about to close the door, Jiang Weiguo suddenly spoke up, looking at Shen Wanjun: "I'm getting married the day after tomorrow. Would Comrade Shen do me the honor of attending my wedding?"
"Commander Song, come along too."
Shen Wanjun was taken aback. The wedding wasn't until the day after tomorrow?
In other words, the day I last saw Jiang Weidong at the police station, they weren't married.
Then, considering Jiang Xiangdong's drunken appearance, Shen Wanjun suddenly realized, oh, they must have only gotten engaged last time.
She tentatively asked, "Me? Attending your wedding?"
Jiang Weiguo: "Yes, the bride is your sister, we are family now."
Song Zhan looked up, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction.
In his view, the entire Zhong family should be locked up, and Zhong Chuchu was no exception.
They've done so many things to hurt Shen Wanjun, and now they're trying to curry favor with her. They're shameless.
Shen Wanjun sneered. Fate is a strange thing. Even after being reborn, Zhong Chuchu still married Jiang Weiguo.
I thought she would rather stay in the countryside for the rest of her life than jump back into the Jiang family's hellhole.
Ultimately, even after being reborn, Zhong Chuchu remains the same opportunistic person.
She learned nothing from her mistake.
Instead, they clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that this time might be different.
