The one who opened the door was Lu Qing'er. She had curled hair and wore a dark green diamond headband in her hair.
She was wearing a cute green V-neck polka-dot dress, revealing her snow-white and smooth neck, and she looked very graceful.
As she opened the door, she smiled shyly and said, "Why are you..."
However, when she saw clearly that the person in front of her was Qin Kaishen, the smile on her face froze.
But she soon returned to normal, and continued somewhat unnaturally: "...Kai Shen?! Why are you here?"
"I came to see you." Qin Kaishen looked at what he was holding in his left hand. It was her favorite, the butterfly pastry produced by the People's Pastry Factory.
It wasn’t available in the small county town, so he specially asked someone in the provincial capital to bring it to her.
Last time, he wanted to give it to her when he was in the camp, but Bai Yalan came to give him something, and he was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so he didn't give it to her.
Unexpectedly, even so, Lu Qing'er still fell into the water.
Qin Kai thought deeply about this and still felt very dissatisfied with Bai Yalan's behavior of pushing others into trouble just because of jealousy.
"Oh, butterfly cakes." Lu Qing'er's eyes lit up and she took it happily. "Thank you for remembering that this is my favorite."
The woman smiled shyly and softly. She stuck out her tongue as if embarrassed, turned around and let Qin Kaishen in.
Qin Kaishen sat down on the sofa in the living room. Seeing a plate of melon seeds and tea on the coffee table, and thinking of Gu Fujun who had just walked out, the expression on his face froze.
Lu Qing'er's father was not at home, so she naturally would not tell Qin Kaishen that her father was very satisfied with Gu Fujun as a son-in-law. The old couple even went out for a walk on purpose to create an opportunity for them, the young people, to be alone so that they could develop more feelings.
Qin Kaishen naturally wouldn't have thought of this, but he still said, "I just... ran into Deputy Battalion Commander Gu."
"Kai Shen, don't think too much. Deputy Battalion Commander Gu just came to visit me." Lu Qing'er said with red eyes.
Qin Kai looked at her deeply and asked tentatively, "Actually, don't you think Deputy Battalion Commander Gu is a good person?"
Although he is three years older than me and probably more than four years older than Gu Qing'er, he is now the battalion commander.
Apart from age, they are much better than me in terms of status and position.
If Lu Qing'er was attracted to her, he would think it was normal even if he felt uncomfortable.
But when Lu Qing'er heard what he said, she smiled bitterly, "No matter how good a person is, if he's not the one you like, what's the point?"
Qin Kaishen was stunned, and then an indescribable joy surged in his heart. He couldn't help but whisper, "Qing'er."
Lu Qing'er's eyes instantly filled with tears. "Kai Shen, I'm afraid people in the compound are saying all sorts of things right now. With all the gossip, how can I still maintain my reputation?"
Qin Kaishen felt distressed and tried to comfort her, "No, how could that be? People wouldn't be so bored and talk nonsense, and I wouldn't allow it."
Lu Qing'er looked at him gratefully, "Kai Shen, thank you." Then he said with a gloomy expression, "But it's useless. Even if people don't say it, I don't know what they think in their hearts. I fell into the water with only a single layer of clothes on, and was... was carried out by someone with bare chests. In the future..."
As she was speaking, she couldn't go on. She covered her eyes, tears trickling down from between her fingers, feeling extremely aggrieved.
She did feel aggrieved, but Gu Fujun said he would be responsible for her, and her father was also very satisfied with Gu Fujun's character and family background.
But after just a few days of getting along, she discovered that Gu Fujun was a complete boor.
The kind of tenderness and consideration she desired seemed completely impossible to the unromantic Gu Fujun. Besides, Gu Fujun was almost ten years older than her and looked mature and older.
If she said that she looked like a schoolgirl at the age of 21, then Gu Fujun looked like he was in his thirties at the age of twenty. He had been exposed to the wind and sun in the military camp, and people would probably believe her if she said that he looked like her uncle.
In comparison, the young and handsome Qin Kaishen, although not as good as Gu Fujun in family background and status, is much gentler and more considerate than the other.
Lu Qing'er was in a deep dilemma. On the one hand, she was reluctant to give up Qin Kaishen's efforts for her, but on the other hand, she also wanted to enjoy the glory and honor that Gu Fujun's position as deputy battalion commander would bring her. In addition, her father kept urging her to hold on to his heart, so it would be best to settle the matter as soon as possible.
This made Lu Qing'er feel extremely conflicted, but of course she would not tell Qin Kaishen about these innermost thoughts.
Even though she had agreed to officially start dating Gu Fujun and plan to get married, she would not reveal a single word.
