Tang Baozhu could tell from the firmness in Feng Yi's tone that he wasn't lying, and she already knew from the timeline that he hadn't married anyone other than the little girl.
"Alright, alright, Feng Yi, since you two are interested in each other, I'll give you a week off. Hurry up and get the wedding done. Anyway, you haven't taken a day off in all these years, so take this opportunity to get things done. If you want to come with the military, just let us know in advance. There are still rooms available in the family compound, so don't worry about not having a place to stay when you come here."
"Thank you, Battalion Commander. I'll discuss it with Baozhu and see if she agrees to come with me. If she does, we'll apply for housing later."
Feng Yi definitely hoped that the girl would come with him to the army. He had been thinking about the girl for more than ten years, and she was about to become his alone. How could he bear to be separated from the girl?
He was prepared to leave the army and stay with her even if the girl didn't want to join him. For him, nothing was more important than the girl.
As for that landlord, he no longer cared about him. Now that the young girl had come here, it meant that the two of them were no longer related. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, compared to the young girl, that discomfort was insignificant.
After Battalion Commander Zheng and his men left, Feng Yi couldn't wait to take the girl to the dormitory. It wasn't that he wanted to do anything, but he just wanted to ask her how she had been doing these past few years.
Did something happen to make the little girl come here? After all, she has always been a shy girl. If something hadn't happened, she definitely wouldn't have come. She's so timid; she wouldn't dare to come to him alone.
Tang Baozhu saw him pulling her away and didn't struggle, so she just followed. She trusted Feng Yi's character. Although they had just met, she knew the timeline and the future plot, so she knew that this kind of person must be of good character.
Upon entering Feng Yi's dormitory, Tang Baozhu immediately noticed how simple it was. The most striking feature was the neatly folded bed; it was a four-poster bed with only a single bedding placed on it, clearly indicating that it was a private dormitory.
I was surprised to find that I had managed to get a single room. It seems pretty good. Fortunately, I only glanced at it and didn't look at it any further, so as not to seem impolite.
Feng Yi was extremely anxious. Seeing that the little girl was still as quiet as before, he couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out, "Baozhu, is something wrong that's why you came to find me?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Baozhu became unhappy. She couldn't even speak properly, being more blunt than a straight man. "If you don't welcome me, then I'll go back, so as not to cause you any trouble."
Not only did she say something, but she also turned around and walked straight to the door.
Seeing that the girl was angry, Feng Yi quickly grabbed her hand. They had finally come to their own territory, and they couldn't just let her run away.
High-level hunters often appear in the form of prey.
"Why are you still so easily angered, just like when you were little? It's my fault, I'm not good at expressing myself, but I'm really worried about you. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Tang Baozhu tried to maintain her composure and struggled slightly, but Feng Yi only tightened his grip. Seeing that she couldn't break free, she stopped struggling.
But she still didn't say anything, just kept her head down. She wouldn't let him off so easily unless she coaxed him a few more times, lest he think she had nowhere else to turn and came to him for help.
Seeing the girl like this, Feng Yi's heart softened completely. He kept blaming himself for not being careful with his words. He had finally managed to get the girl to come to him, but he had accidentally angered her.
"Baozhu, don't be angry, okay? It's all my fault for not knowing how to speak properly. If you're still angry, how about hitting me a few times? That way you can vent your anger."
Feng Yi grabbed the little girl's hand and hit his chest hard, just like when they were little. A few hits would calm the little girl down.
Tang Baozhu quickly told him to let go. It didn't hurt him, but it hurt her own hands. He was all muscle and incredibly strong.
"Let go of my hand, it hurts."
Feng Yi tensed up as soon as he heard this, wondering why it hurt when he hadn't used much force.
He held the little girl's hand and examined it. He was relieved to find that her hand was fair and tender without any marks.
After letting out a sigh of relief, I couldn't bear to let go of her hand. I felt that the little girl's hand was still as soft as it was when she was a child.
"Thank goodness your hand wasn't hurt. Are you not angry now? Can you tell me how you found this place? I was originally planning to come find you in two years after I got promoted, but I didn't expect you to come find me earlier. Baozhu, I'm really happy. In these five years, I haven't missed a single day. Did you miss me too, which is why you came to find me?"
Tang Baozhu felt the kneading motion in her hands and quickly shook them off, saying suggestive words while still taking advantage of the situation. Sure enough, all men are the same.
“The old man’s whole family was burned to death. All of us concubines were released by the government. I didn’t originally plan to come to you, but the people from the neighborhood committee kept trying to set me up with someone. Later, some hooligans even sneaked into my house. Although I chased them away, I was still scared. In the end, I had no choice but to come to you.”
As for why he came to see him, he could only figure it out himself. There was no need to explain it too clearly. Although Tang Baozhu felt that she had explained it very clearly, anyone who wasn't an idiot would understand.
When Feng Yi heard that the neighborhood committee was trying to find a match for the young girl, he was furious. How could so many people be eyeing the girl he had protected since she was a child?
She didn't even notice when the landlord died. It was only later that she realized that the entire landlord family had died, which was why the little girl was able to regain her freedom.
But she felt a sense of satisfaction. If she hadn't known that Tang Bo's illness required medicine that was hard to buy, how could the little girl have followed him so obediently?
He and the girl had made a promise long ago that she would marry him when they grew up, but fate had played a cruel trick on them. Fortunately, the girl was now free, and he could be with her again. This time, he was determined to hold her hand tightly and never let go again.
“Baozhu, Yi-ge has been waiting for you all this time. Can you give me this chance? Will I take care of you in my next life? I will definitely treat you very, very well, even better than before.”
