Jiang Jun's words were half serious and half joking.
As soon as she said this, she was met with astonishment.
It was obvious that she and Chen Yuanwu had different ideas on the same thing.
Jiang Yun's inferiority complex resurfaced, and his expression was filled with dejection: "Squad Leader Chen, isn't this kind of thinking ridiculous?"
Chen Yuanwu composed himself and said, "Your idea is good, but with your abilities, there's no need to be so self-deprecating."
Jiang Jun lowered her head and said nothing. When Jiang Yonghua was fine, she was full of confidence and felt that the world was open to her.
When Jiang Yonghua got into trouble, she realized that the limitations brought by identity and environment could not be easily broken through with intelligence and talent.
Seeing Jiang Yun's low mood, Chen Yuanwu turned and asked, "Do you want some coffee?"
Jiang Jun shook her head. She was having a tantrum and couldn't sleep at night even after drinking coffee.
Chen Yuanwu added, "Try it. The coffee I brew is delicious. Have you ever tried coffee?"
Jiang Jun raised his eyes and pouted: "I have a mouth ulcer and I'm taking vitamins."
She accidentally touched the wound of the mouth ulcer, and the pain made her frown slightly, grimace, and take a breath of cold air.
"Does it hurt?"
"A little bit."
Chen Yuanwu took the lead and walked to the kitchen: "I'll make you some apple juice, we can talk there."
Jiang Jun was a little confused. What was going on? "Isn't Uncle Chen coming back soon? Don't you have to rush back to school?"
"There's a volleyball match in the division, so they loaned me over to play."
"You can also play volleyball? What position do you play?"
"you guess?"
"Um, first pass?"
"Correct! How did you guess that?"
"Playing setter will hurt your fingers. Your knuckles will become thicker and some may even become deformed. Playing as a spiker, well, that's not your style!"
Chen Yuanwu stopped peeling the apple and tilted his head slightly: "What kind of personality am I?"
Jiang Jun couldn't help but smile. What a warm man! "He's steady, reliable, and he can even save dangerous shots."
Chen Yuanwu raised his eyebrows: "Can you see that?"
Jiang Jun nodded. "I originally thought you only knew how to play table tennis. Seeing how well you catch the ball, I knew you'd be a first passer in volleyball. Actually, I should have seen it a long time ago. If you knew how to play chess, it would only be Go."
Seeing Jiang Yun's smile, Chen Yuanwu's mood also improved. He really could play Go, and even his comrades didn't know it yet. "So I'm so good at it?"
Jiang Jun blinked. "Excellent! All-round!"
Chen Yuanwu shook his head slightly and continued peeling the fruit: "I'm not omnipotent. I can't cook yet."
Jiang Jun was surprised: "You can make coffee and juice, but you can't cook? What else do you need to know to be able to cook?"
Chen Yuanwu sliced the apple into thin slices and added them to the pot, stirring gently clockwise with a spoon: "I can cook a full banquet, fry a steak, and bake cake sandwiches."
Jiang Jun exclaimed, "Even a chef can't cook both Chinese and Western food." She completely forgot what she had said to He Xiangdong in the car and thought Chen Yuanwu was being modest: "If I were you, I could play ball, play chess, and study so well. I wouldn't bother learning to cook. I'd be fine if other people cooked for me!"
Chen Yuanwu sighed: "If I can't cook, people will look down on me and I will be disliked."
Jiang Jun wondered, who could be so short-sighted? It certainly couldn't be Mo Xiaohui, so who could it be? That new partner that Dean Wang had introduced, a perfect match?
Men, especially grown men, are like Jiang Yonghua, who suffers too much!
Otherwise, she would give him some encouragement?
"Squad Leader Chen, aren't you playing as a first passer? A first passer can occasionally jump up and attack from distance!"
Chen Yuanwu remained calm: "Would an occasional long-range attack be useful?"
Jiang Jun didn't react and continued to dig a hole for himself: "It will definitely work. Don't even pass the ball. Just break his serve and catch him off guard!"
Chen Yuanwu nodded heavily: "Got it!"
The juice was ready, Chen Yuanwu turned off the gas and tightened the gas tank switch.
He placed the drink in a fine white porcelain bowl, placed a white porcelain spoon on top, and gently placed it in front of Jiang Jun: "It's still a little hot, let it sit for a while before drinking."
Jiang Jun lowered his eyebrows, and the crystal clear apple syrup was emitting a faint steam.
Chen Yuanwu washed the small pot, wiped the water off with a rag, and hung it on the white tiled wall.
Jiang Jun raised one hand, resting his chin on the table, tilting his head. His tone was very relaxed, no longer the depressed tone he had when he first entered. "Captain Chen, do you have any new information to share with me?"
Chen Yuanwu felt relieved, and his tone became cheerful. "The results of the first batch of people under investigation are out. Two of them held the same position as Uncle Jiang. They have been demoted and will remain in their original units for observation."
As for how the others were dealt with, that was not the focus of his investigation. He just wanted to see Jiang Jun happy and be his refueling station.
Jiang Jun covered his half-open mouth with both hands in disbelief, his eyes quickly moistening: "Really?"
As long as I can stay in the army, even if it means going to the grassroots level for training, at least I won’t be immersed in those criticism and struggle meetings where I can’t escape.
"So, don't worry too much!" Chen Yuanwu comforted, his eyes gentle: "Just like you said, there will definitely be the best result."
Jiang Yun buried his face in his hands and cried with joy.
Chen Yuanwu waited for her to cry for a while, then took out his handkerchief and said, "Wipe your tears and drink some apple juice. I added rock sugar so it won't be sour."
Jiang Jun grabbed the handkerchief, covered her face with it, and cried for a while. Then she let out a long breath and looked up. "Why does your handkerchief smell so good? It smells even better than the soapberry water I used today!"
A light forest scent, with the smell of sunshine.
Chen Yuanwu laughed: "Really? I've been keeping it in my pocket the whole time. I thought you'd dislike the sweat smell."
Jiang Jun put the handkerchief under his nose: "Sweat smell? No!"
She was so calm and composed, as if the handkerchief in her hand was her own. She puckered up her nose and sniffed it again and again like a puppy: "It smells good! It smells better than cologne!"
Chen Yuanwu chuckled, "How can I smell that good?" He pretended to stretch out his arm, "Just check again."
Jiang Jun pretended to smell it, then quickly picked up the bowl and took a sip: "It smells so good!"
Guessing that Jiang Yonghua was very likely to be fine, Jiang Jun was in a good mood and put all his worries aside. He ate up the juice, soup and meat in just a few gulps.
He stood up quickly, holding the empty bowl, and wanted to wash it under the faucet.
Chen Yuanwu took the lead: "I'll wash it."
With his back to Jiang Jun, Chen Yuanwu's smile faded. In fact, the results of Jiang Yonghua's review had not yet come out, and it was not as optimistic as he said.
He just remembered what Jiang Jun had said to him. Things haven't come to the end yet, who knows what the outcome will be?
