Chapter 44: There are many good men with two legs
Back at the guesthouse, Ruan Anan knocked on Gao Ruoyun's door, carrying a roast goose wrapped in oil paper and two bowls of cold ice jelly.
"Are you buying roast goose? Perfect!"
Gao Ruoyun's eyes lit up, and she pulled out some juicy walnut cookies from her cloth bag like she was presenting a treasure. "I have to say it, I have to say it, but shopping in Min City is really convenient. You don't even need a ticket for a lot of things!"
She deftly unfolded the oil-paper package and called out, "Come, come, come, let's eat together!"
Ruan Anan felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Before she came here, she was extremely busy with her editing work, being on call 24 hours a day to serve various "great" authors.
How can I have the leisure to enjoy time with my best friends?
Gao Ruoyun is a girl with a straightforward personality, a warm heart, and thoughtful work. It is easy and comfortable to get along with her.
This burden-free "girlfriend party" is fresh and precious to Ruan Anan.
The two of them sat cross-legged on the hard bed, gnawing on roast goose and slurping ice jelly.
Ruan Anan told Xu Yancheng's feat of "three turns, one sound, and seventy-two legs" as a joke.
Gao Ruoyun was so shocked that she almost choked on the goose bone. "This rotten egg looks like a dull person, but it's quite generous!"
As she spoke, she leaned closer to Ruan Anan and said meaningfully, "But, you've never thought about it. If he hadn't been with you, who would these things be prepared for?"
"Who knows?" Ruan Anan took a bite of the sausage nonchalantly.
No matter who Xu Yancheng likes now, he will be devoted to Su Qingyue in the future.
And then... well, it was smashed.
Thinking about it this way, in a sense, I saved his life?
Gao Ruoyun bit a goose leg and said thoughtfully, "I don't think this Captain Xu is as stupid as he looks."
Ruan Anan became interested. "Oh? Comrade Gao, what do you think?"
Gao Ruoyun put down the goose leg, wiped her mouth, and began to analyze seriously: "Think about it, if he was really stupid, how could he survive in such a hail of bullets? A 27-year-old regimental commander! Without any support or background, can he fight with brute force alone? He needs brains! Especially in the navy, when to be tough and when to lie low, how to set an ambush, how to launch a surprise attack, there are many tricks here! You have to be more careful!"
Ruan Anan tilted her head, her eyes filled with surprise. "Comrade Gao, how come you're a recent high school graduate from Hai City and know so much about marching and fighting? Your high school... even offers military courses?"
"What kind of military class is this?"
Gao Ruoyun said helplessly, "In high school nowadays, it's good enough if you can just finish the textbook!"
Ruan Anan thought so too.
The college entrance examination was suspended, and students had three options after graduation: join the army, work in a factory, or go to the countryside to work in the fields.
Going to the countryside to work in the fields is the hardest job. If the family has some connections, who would be willing to send their children to the poor mountain villages?
There is really no other way, so I have to try my best to find a place with slightly better conditions.
In the Northeast, people only work for half a year at most, and sleeping on a warm kang in the winter is considered a "hot commodity".
A miserable place like the Nansha Island, where no one lives and typhoons and earthquakes are commonplace, is not even within the scope of consideration!
Looking at Gao Ruoyun's overall appearance, food, clothing and other necessities, she is just like the little princess of the family.
She took the initiative to ask for support for the Nansha Islands, and her family actually agreed?
Ruan Anan looked at Gao Ruoyun curiously, "Tell me the truth! Why did you come to this miserable place?"
"Go to my uncle!" Gao Ruoyun's shoulders slumped, blinking in grievance. "It's all my uncle's fault! He fooled me! He said Nansha Island has spring all year round, the scenery is picturesque, and the development prospects are bright... When I heard that, I was so excited that I signed up!"
Ruan Anan was happy: "Oh, your uncle is from Nansha?"
"Where?" Gao Ruoyun shook her head. "My uncle is from Hai City! He is now... well, the boss of your man Xu Yancheng's military district, Commander Qi Chang'an!"
"What the hell?!" Ruan Anan's sausage dropped to the ground with a "clack" sound, her eyes nearly popping out of her head in shock. "You, your uncle is Qi Chang'an, the local emperor of Nansha Island?"
"He's not a local tyrant, he's the head of the military district!" Gao Ruoyun corrected seriously.
"Gao Ruoyun!" Ruan Anan was so angry that she almost laughed out loud. She pointed at Gao Ruoyun's head.
"Is there something wrong with you?! Your uncle is the army commander! And you were bullied by that little bitch Zhu Yaoyao on the train? If you had just yelled, 'My uncle is Qi Changan,' would Zhu Yaoyao have dared to report us to the security team? Isn't this just an unprovoked disaster?"
Facing Ruan Anan's barrage of questions, Gao Ruoyun weakly defended herself, "I, I just don't want to rely on my uncle... Can't I solve the problem with my own abilities? Even without my uncle, I, Gao Ruoyun, can still make a name for myself on Nansha Island!"
Ruan Anan pointed at her own face, expressionless: "Come, watch me show you how to roll my eyes!"
Every second-generation rich and powerful person says that they want to conquer the world with their own hands.
But without the support of my family, how could I have the capital to make it?
Take Gao Ruoyun for example. She dared to go to Nansha Island alone with just a small suitcase.
Isn't it because she knows her uncle has the ability to help her settle everything?
"Lulu!" Gao Ruoyun felt a little guilty and made faces with Ruan Anan.
But despite all the fuss, she remembered the serious matter and put on a stern face. She grabbed Ruan An'an's hand and said earnestly, "An'an, what I said before was the truth. Throw away that rotten egg as soon as possible! I'll ask my uncle to introduce you to someone with a higher rank than him! Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of good two-legged men!"
Ruan Anan pulled back his hand with a forced smile: "Forget it, I won't harm others!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Just as Gao Ruoyun was about to stand up, Ruan Anan rushed over and bowed exaggeratedly: "How can I ask you, Miss, to open the door? Let me come!"
"Pfft... Ruan Anan, you are poisonous!"
Gao Ruoyun was so amused by her that she fell on the bed laughing.
Ruan Anan suppressed her laughter and opened the door.
The person standing outside the door made her stunned.
Zhu Yaoyao?
What is she here for?
