Coming out of Xie Yushan's office, Song Shishi clutched the appointment letter tightly in her hand, feeling both excited and complicated.
She was excited that her efforts were recognized, and the appointment letter was a great affirmation of her work ability;
The complicated thing is that with the promotion of position, the responsibility is also getting heavier. She knows that the road ahead is not easy. But at this moment, she can't think too much. Tomorrow is a holiday. She is thinking about visiting Meng Xunzhou in the army and sharing this joy with him.
Song Shishi came to the street and carefully selected things to bring to Meng Xunzhou in the state-owned store.
She looked at the peach cakes and braised beef on the shelves, which were rare delicacies in 1975 when supplies were not abundant.
She thought about Meng Xunzhou's satisfied look when he ate these foods, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
After paying the money, she packed the food carefully and walked towards the troops.
When she arrived at the gate of the army and was about to go in, she saw a well-dressed woman standing at the door, talking to the guard.
The woman was wearing a dress that was a little faded from washing but of new style. She was tall and had an outstanding temperament, making her stand out in the crowd.
...
...
She slowed down her pace and approached slowly.
"Comrade, I'm looking for Meng Xunzhou."
The woman smiled and spoke to the guard in a clear and pleasant voice.
The guards behind asked a few routine questions, registered, and then one of them led the woman in.
Song Shishi's heart skipped a beat and an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness surged in her heart.
Although there are often all kinds of women around Meng Xunzhou, Song Shishi knows in her heart that they are just self-indulgent women.
But this was the first time that Song Shishi had seen someone come to the army to look for Meng Xunzhou so blatantly like today, and was let go after just a few simple questions.
When she walked forward to register, she happened to hear the guards whispering.
"I heard that Captain Meng is dating someone recently. The guys in his company said that Captain Meng's temper has improved a lot recently. That woman just now was really pretty. With her figure and temperament, she must be Captain Meng's girlfriend."
"I don't think he can escape. How many women are eyeing a man as outstanding as Captain Meng? Only a woman like him is worthy of standing with Captain Meng."
When the two guards saw Song Shishi coming over, they immediately stopped talking and asked seriously, "Comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"
Song Shishi originally wanted to say that she came to find Meng Xunzhou.
But when she thought of the woman just now, she couldn't say the words.
"Hello, comrade. Xu Qiang's sister asked me to bring something to her brother. She also asked me to pass on a few words to him. Could you please take me in to find him?"
The guard looked Song Shishi up and down and saw that she was dressed and looked like a child from a military compound, so he nodded and said, "Then register here and I'll take you in to find him."
"OK, thanks."
After completing the registration, Song Shishi followed the guard into the army.
This is her first time here.
In the past, Song Zhenhua never allowed her and Zheng Peilan to come to the army to find him, saying that it would have a bad influence.
After she and Meng Xunzhou started dating, they were busy with their own things and had no time to come to the army to find him.
She didn't expect to encounter such a "surprise" on her first visit.
Song Shishi's steps were a little heavy, and the words of the two guards kept echoing in her mind.
She walked inside mechanically, holding the things she bought for Meng Xunzhou.
"Comrade, you can just wait for Comrade Xu Qiang in the pavilion ahead. We have already notified him."
"Okay, thank you."
The guard said this and turned to leave.
As Song Shishi walked into the pavilion and sat down, she saw two familiar figures not far away on the other side of the pavilion.
Meng Xunzhou!
Although Meng Xunzhou was standing with his back to her at this time, Song Shishi still recognized him.
Standing opposite Meng Xunzhou was the woman she had just seen at the entrance of the army.
Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, Song Shishi saw that woman had a shy look on her face and was smiling sweetly at Meng Xunzhou.
The woman would smooth the hair by her ears from time to time, her eyes full of tenderness.
Song Shishi felt dizzy and almost dropped the thing in her hand.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
At this time, Xu Qiang received a notice that a woman was looking for him. He was overjoyed and thought it was his sister Xu Li who came to see him.
But when he ran from the training ground, he saw from afar that the person sitting in the pavilion waiting for him was Song Shishi.
Song Shishi seemed to be looking at something intently.
Xu Qiang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
But then, from his position, he saw Meng Xunzhou standing with another strange woman not far away.
He was just wondering why Song Shishi came to find him instead of Meng Xunzhou, but when he saw this scene, he understood everything.
Boss Meng, you really have to thank me this time.
Xu Qiang muttered to himself, and then shouted loudly in the direction of Song Shishi:
"Comrade Song, why are you here?"
Meng Xunzhou turned around abruptly when he heard the voice. When his eyes met Song Shishi who had already stood up, he thought to himself, "It's over."
At this time, Xu Qiang had already walked out of the pavilion.
Song Shishi retracted her gaze, walked up to Xu Qiang, and then stuffed all the things in her hand that were originally intended for Meng Xunzhou into Xu Qiang's arms.
"They're all for you!"
After that, Song Shishi said no more, turned around and walked towards the military gate.
Xu Qiang was behind her. He looked down at the pile of food in his arms, then looked up at Song Shishi's receding back, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing Song Shishi's departing back, Meng Xunzhou's face darkened. He didn't bother to deal with the woman in front of him and ran after Song Shishi.
"Xunzhou, where are you going?"
The woman frowned, but Meng Xunzhou didn't even turn his head and ran away after a while.
With Meng Xunzhou's fast legs, he quickly caught up with the angry Song Shishi.
He grabbed Song Shishi's arm and forced her to stop.
"Shishi, listen to my explanation!"
Meng Xunzhou's voice was full of anxiety.
“Things are not what they seem.”
Song Shishi suppressed the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes and lowered her head, refusing to look at him.
She wanted to pull her arm out of Meng Xunzhou's hand, but Meng Xunzhou held it so tightly that she couldn't break free.
Unable to break free, she gritted her teeth and looked up suddenly to meet Meng Xunzhou's eyes.
"So what do you mean?"
Meng Xunzhou raised his hand to touch the corners of her eyes and wiped away her tears.
Then he exerted a little force with his hands and pulled Song Shishi into his arms.
Meng Xunzhou held her in his arms, neither hurting her nor letting her escape.
"Don't be angry, just listen to me."
"Her name is Lin Yue, and she is the daughter of Captain Lin. Although Captain Lin wanted to introduce his daughter to me, I have clearly refused and told him that I already have a partner."
"She came to me today without informing me in advance, and she came to ask me for help."
"Captain Lin usually takes good care of me in the army, so I can't be disrespectful to him and make things look too bad, so just now..."
Seeing that Song Shishi still didn't speak, Meng Xunzhou freed his right hand and made a swearing gesture.
"I swear to you, every word I said is true, and I definitely did not cross any line with her."
Song Shishi's nose was filled with the unique scent of Meng Xunzhou.
Looking at Meng Xunzhou's sincere look and listening to his gentle words, the grievance I had just felt also dissipated a lot.
She told herself in her heart that Meng Xunzhou and Song Zhenhua were different.
Song Zhenhua is a hypocritical man who deceived Zheng Peilan for so many years and finally met with a bad ending.
But no matter in the past life or this life, Meng Xunzhou has always been consistent to her and has never changed.
She hugged Meng Xunzhou back and whispered, "I believe you."
"This must be Comrade Song, I heard Aunt Fu talking about you.
When I saw her today, she is indeed a pretty girl.
I just came to see Xunzhou, please don't misunderstand Xunzhou because of me."
Lin Yue had caught up with them at some point. When she saw Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou hugging each other, a complex emotion flashed across her face, but she soon smiled again.
What a shameless woman, hugging and kissing a man in public.
Why should such a thing that is not worthy of being shown stand together with Xunzhou?
