Chen Jiao looked at her older brother: "I'm not going back with you."
Chen Chuan frowned. She immediately said she wouldn't go back with him? Could it be… "You already told him, and he doesn't agree?"
“I didn’t tell him.”
"Then why did you say you weren't coming back with me the moment you opened your mouth?"
Chen Jiao bit her lip: "I don't dare to tell him."
Chen Chuan couldn't believe it! These were words from his sister! His sister had been intelligent and beautiful since childhood, so she had always been more confident and courageous than other girls. He had assumed Chen Jiao had been observing Zhang Jun for the past two years. He never expected… “Are you afraid he'll reject you?”
"Um."
Chen Chuan thought, "As long as he's not stupid, he won't refuse you."
"He will."
How did you know?
"Feel."
"Feel?"
Chen Jiao nodded: "I feel like he seems... um... how should I put it? He seems... seems like he can't see me at all. I've walked past him several times, and he hasn't looked at me. Once, I deliberately dropped a pen, and when he saw it, he just said, 'Comrade, you dropped your pen,' and walked past me. If it were any other man, he would have picked the pen up for me."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment: "Was he doing it on purpose?"
"No. He really didn't want to help me pick it up."
"So...he doesn't like you like this?"
“All the girls in our group walked past him, but he didn’t react at all.”
"Is that so? Does he like men?"
"No. He's perfectly normal when he's with gay men."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment: He ignores women and doesn't like men. Then... "Does he have someone in his heart?"
Chen Jiao didn't say anything.
Chen Chuan had a slight headache: "Did I guess right?"
Chen Jiao didn't say anything.
"Come on, let's go back now."
"I'm not going back."
Chen Chuan stared into Chen Jiao's eyes and said, "He has someone else in his heart."
"I like him."
He doesn't like you.
"I only like him."
"Jiaojiao, I'll find you another good one."
"I only like him."
Chen Chuan looked at Chen Jiao and asked, "Are you really not coming back with me?"
"Um."
"Alright then. Come here, I need to talk to you about something."
"good."
As soon as Chen Jiao walked over, Chen Chuan patted her on the neck.
Chen Jiao stared wide-eyed in surprise: "Big brother, you..." Chen Jiao had barely uttered "you" when she fainted. Chen Chuan patted Chen Jiao's hair: "He may not have a good family background, but he cannot not love you."
After putting Chen Jiao on the sofa, Chen Chuan went out and called his guard over: "Have the driver bring the car over."
"yes."
After the car arrived, Chen Chuan first helped Chen Jiao into the car: "Call Commander Guo over."
"yes."
A moment later, Commander Guo came over: "Are you leaving?"
"Um."
"Jiaojiao, why didn't I see you off?"
"Jiaojiao, come with me. Where does Jiaojiao live? I'll go pack her things."
Commander Guo was taken aback: "You're going to pack? Where's Jiaojiao?"
"I knocked her unconscious."
How could you do that?
"Hesitation leads to trouble."
"You know, Jiaojiao will definitely make a fuss when she wakes up."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Let's go."
Upon arriving at the dormitory entrance, Commander Guo had someone call Wang Meili out: "Meili, this is Chen Jiao's older brother. Chen Jiao is going home, and her brother is here to help her pack her things."
Wang Meili was taken aback: "Jiaojiao is going home?"
Chen Chuan: "Um. Something came up at home. Comrade, may I go in now to help Jiao Jiao pack her things?"
"That's possible." Wang Meili glanced at Commander Chen: "Why doesn't Jiaojiao pack herself?"
Commander Guo: "Chen Jiao has something to do."
"Alright then." Wang Meili looked at Chen Chuan: "Come with me."
"good."
Chen Jiao had many books. Chen Chuan wanted to bundle them up. As he was bundling them, a piece of paper fell out from one of the books. Although there were only ten words on the paper, Chen Chuan's heart sank.
Commander Guo noticed Chen Chuan's expression was off: "What's wrong?"
Chen Chuan folded the paper and put it in his pocket: "It's nothing."
As Chen Chuan left the dormitory, he looked at Commander Guo and asked, "Is that Zhang Jun very outstanding?"
"Yes. If we don't talk about family background, he and Jiaojiao are really a good match."
"Really? I remember there's a poem that describes a man like this: 'A gentleman like jade on the road, unparalleled in the world.' Does he deserve this poem?"
"able."
Chen Chuan's heart sank even further.
On the other side, as soon as he got off work, Han Bin wanted to go outside. He had only taken a few steps when he was surrounded by his three battalion commanders.
Battalion Commander Zhang Yong: "Regimental Commander, I heard your wife is here?"
Second Battalion Commander Sun Dahai: "Regimental Commander, your wife is here, we should go and pay her a visit."
Third Battalion Commander Li Yi: "That's right. Your wife is here, we should go and pay her a visit."
Han Bin: "Let's go tomorrow. Your sister-in-law just arrived and needs to rest."
Zhang Yong: "We just wanted to say hello to my sister-in-law."
Sun Dahai: "Yes, we'll just say hello and leave."
Li Yi: "You're our regimental commander. Others have met your wife, but we haven't. People will laugh at us if they find out."
Zhang Yong: "That's right. Commander, we'll just say hello to your wife."
Han Bin: "Alright then. Just say hello and leave."
All three nodded.
On his way back, Han Bin bought some rice, flour, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
As soon as Han Bin and his men entered the family quarters, they encountered Commander Xiong's wife. Han Bin greeted her as "Sister-in-law."
Commander Xiong's wife looked at the things in Han Bin's hands: "Why did you buy so much stuff again?"
"again?"
"Yes, as soon as your wife arrived, she took those two old men to buy a lot of things."
Han Bin smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a lot of family."
Speaking of this, Commander Xiong's wife found it strange. Other women who came to accompany the army brought their children. Commander Han's wife, however, brought two odd old men. One looked like a monk, and the other like a mute: "Are those two old men your relatives?"
"no."
"That?"
Han Bin felt that others would find out about this sooner or later: "They were adopted by my wife."
"Adopt?!" Commander Xiong's wife stared wide-eyed in surprise.
"Okay. Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now."
Commander Xiong's wife was still in a daze.
Han Bin: "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now."
"Huh? Hmm."
After Han Bin left, Commander Xiong's wife muttered to herself, "Has Wang Xiaoman gone mad? Adopting two elderly people? Can she afford to support them?"
On the other side, Zhang Yong was also worried for Han Bin: "Commander, you don't have children now, but what will happen when you do..."
Han Bin smiled and said, "It's alright. Your sister-in-law knows how to handle things."
When he says that, others can't really say anything.
As he neared home, he encountered another military wife. Upon seeing Han Bin, she exclaimed, "Commander Han, your wife's cooking is delicious!"
Han Bin was taken aback: "Does my family have someone who cooks?"
Han Bin's question left the other person speechless: "Yes, didn't your wife come?"
"Oh no!" Xiaoman can't cook. Here, besides Zhang Jun, no one knows how to cook for her. Han Bin threw down his things and ran home.
His three battalion commanders were stunned.
Zhang Yong: "Why did the regimental commander run away?"
Sun Dahai glanced at the military wife: "She said the regimental commander ran away because her cooking was so delicious?"
Li Yi: "Isn't it right for the food to smell good?"
Military wife: "Am I right? His wife's cooking is really delicious!"
Zhang Yong picked up what Han Bin had thrown away: "Let's go take a look."
On the other side, as soon as Han Bin got home, he swept the dishes off the table onto the floor.
