Chapter 24: Actually went to celebrate someone’s birthday?
This was the most depressing meal Xu Rongrong had ever eaten in his life.
The man sitting opposite her, the commander of an army, saw her as his wife at first sight, but he picked her out with critical eyes.
"Zhan Yiyang," Xu Rongrong bit her chopsticks and looked at Zhan Yiyang unwillingly and resentfully, "Why did you choose me at the blind date?" She was looking forward to hearing what Zhan Yiyang would say.
Zhan Yiyang raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Rongrong, "I didn't choose you."
"..." Xu Rongrong was speechless.
The handsome young man said: "It is said that our army commander took a fancy to you at first sight."
But their military commander said: "I didn't choose you."
Xu Rongrong was so depressed that his intestines were in knots. What was going on?
She pursed her lips, looking aggrieved, "You didn't choose me, so why did you drag me to register the next day for nothing?"
"Is it a waste of money?" Zhan Yiyang narrowed his eyes, his focus was obviously different from Xu Rongrong's.
"..." Zhan Yiyang's attitude that day was nothing like begging. It was more like coercion and inducement. Xu Rongrong lowered his head guiltily, "Okay, I admit that I used exaggeration."
Zhan Yiyang was finally satisfied and said slowly: "At the end of the blind date that day, no one wanted you except you, so we became a couple by default."
Xu Rongrong blinked, "That's it?"
"Otherwise? What else do you want?"
Xu Rongrong curled his lips and said, "I don't want anyone to harm me."
"What?"
Xu Rongrong didn't want to expose Zhan Yiyang, so he took a sip of soup and said, "It's nothing."
Saying this, what Xu Rongrong is thinking in her heart is that one day, she will unmask Zhan Yiyang and make him admit that he fell in love with her at first sight! Hum!
Zhan Yiyang, just wait to receive the move!
The dinner ended with Xu Rongrong's beautiful fantasy about the future. Zhan Yiyang seemed to really have a lot of things to do. As soon as he finished the meal, he left again. Xu Rongrong was still struggling with the fact that he said he didn't choose her, and sent him off with a faint and resentful look.
, the result is just "idiot".
"You're stupid, you still take a fancy to me!" Xu Rongrong muttered while leaning on the door frame boredly, looking at Zhan Yiyang's back, and then she remembered that she forgot to ask Zhan Yiyang to evaluate her craftsmanship.
However, he did not find fault with her, and even said in a twisted way that she still had merits, which meant that he was quite satisfied, right?
It was better not to ask, she had a hunch that asking Zhan Yiyang would only hurt her and hurt her.
She's not really stupid, so she wouldn't seek out abuse!
As all kinds of messy thoughts passed through his mind, Xu Rongrong inadvertently heard the guards chatting during the changing of the guard:
"Thank you for your willingness to change posts with me and let me attend Brigadier Chen's birthday party. If you need help in the future, just ask!"
"It's okay! Comrades, we should help each other!"
Xu Rongrong had no intention of listening to what the guard said later. She only heard three words - birthday party!
Birthday parties represent carnival and excitement, which is perfect for a bored person like her! Besides, if she can mingle with the soldiers, can she prove to Zhan Yiyang that she is not wanted by anyone?
Almost without hesitation, Xu Rongrong jumped towards the guards, startling the two guards, and asked quickly: "Sister-in-law, do you need my help with anything?"
Xu Rongrong was eager to try but a little embarrassed, "It's okay, I just heard that you have a birthday party?"
"Ah, yes." the guard said, "Today is Brigadier Chen's birthday. Sister-in-law, you and Brigadier Chen know each other, right? You can go together. We are so lively, and you can also take this opportunity to get to know us.
Comrades."
Xu Rongrong looked at the guard blankly, "I... know Brigadier Chen?" Why doesn't she remember this? What is going on today? Are all the weird things going to happen today?
"Isn't it Brigadier Chen who sent you back just now?" the guard said.
"He's the brigade commander!" Xu Rongrong suddenly understood and smiled, "It turns out it's his birthday, okay, I'll go! Maybe I can help you with something!" In fact, the main reason is to thank that brigade commander Chen, without him,
She would never know that Zhan Yiyang fell in love with her at first sight.
She would use this matter to make fun of Yiyang in the future.
On the way to the birthday party with the guard, Xu Rongrong learned that Brigadier Chen's name was Chen Shoujun. This guard was once his soldier, and now he teamed up with several comrades to surprise Chen Shoujun.
"How are you going to surprise him?" Xu Rongrong was really curious about what a group of soldiers could do.
The guard scratched his head in embarrassment, "We don't have any creative ideas. We only rely on our parents at home and our comrades in the army. Even a few comrades went to the mountains to hunt some game and barbecue. We didn't do anything that was too gross.
Can’t do it.”
"Is there no cake?" Xu Rongrong looked puzzled, "For birthdays, cake is the most basic thing."
The guard was even more embarrassed, "We are in the army here, where can we get cakes?"
Xu Rongrong thought about it and realized that indeed, there were no cakes for sale in the army.
But... you can’t buy it, but you can make it!
…
…
In the kitchen of the military canteen.
Xu Rongrong skillfully beat eggs and flour, surrounded by several soldiers with novel faces.
"My sister-in-law is so skillful with her hands!" said a voice with a strong accent, and the honesty in the voice made one couldn't help but suspect that he was being flattery.
Xu Rongrong smiled at the naive soldier, "I have learned pastry making, and these are the most basic steps."
Her pure and youthful smile was as refreshing as the gentle breeze in spring, and several soldiers were stunned for a moment.
"Commander Zhan is so lucky." I don't know who said this, and others echoed from the bottom of their hearts.
In their eyes, although Xu Rongrong did not have the so-called angel face or devil figure, she was the purest girl they had ever seen.
She has a clean and bright face, delicate and white skin, and a small and delicate facial features. She looks angelic when she smiles. Her light voice seems to soothe people's hearts. She is like a heart-warming little animal that will not attack people, making people laugh.
I like her from the bottom of my heart, I like her very simply, I just want to be close to her like a family member, without any dirty thoughts.
It is hard to find such a girl in the world. No one can deny that Zhan Yiyang is indeed very lucky.
Xu Rongrong felt even more embarrassed after being told that. He smiled and chatted casually with the soldiers.
Several of the soldiers were new recruits who had just joined the army and were very innocent. Although Xu Rongrong was the sister-in-law of their commander's family, there was an indescribable warmth about them, as if they were their sisters next door, and they chatted very harmoniously.
Not long after, the cake came out of the oven, and the aroma filled the entire kitchen. Several people carried the cake and rushed to the appointed place.
The troops were extremely quiet at night, surrounded by darkness. The wind blew by, making a "rustling" sound, which was very much like the dubbing of horror scenes in movies.
Xu Rongrong didn't feel scared at all. She couldn't even believe that she was in a mountain. Perhaps it was because there were reassuring national soldiers around her.
After walking through a rugged path, a few people came to the back of a small hill. There was a military tent set up next to it, and many people were surrounding a lit fire.
Xu Rongrong didn't expect that there were other people, there were so many of them, and they looked...very lethal, seemingly on a par with Zhan Yiyang.
"They are the sharp knife squad of the special operations brigade, special forces trained by Commander Zhan himself. They are the idols of soldiers from all countries!" a guard explained to Xu Rongrong.
Xu Rongrong thought no wonder, jumped over to say hello to them, and quickly integrated into the circle.
Brigadier Chen came over soon, and the birthday party started in a lively manner. When he learned that Xu Rongrong made the cake, he was flattered and expressed his gratitude. Xu Rongrong was not used to being valued like this, so she hurriedly said that she should thank him for sending her back to Zhan Yiyang.
It's dormitory.
The birthday party went on smoothly. Xu Rongrong thought they would sing the birthday song, but unexpectedly they sang a military song. She couldn't sing it, so she listened with a smile and couldn't help but think of Zhan Yiyang.
It's so late, what is Zhan Yiyang doing?
Zhan Yiyang was on his way back to his dormitory.
Today's work was finally finished. He left everything to the orderly and rushed to the dormitory.
Xu Baitu was alone in the dormitory without any entertainment. With her active personality, she would most likely be bored. He went back to tease her, seeing how angry and blushing she was, it seemed like a good choice.
Besides, tonight, he won't let the little white rabbit run away again.
Thinking of Xu Rongrong's blushing face and tickling people's feet, a faint smile appeared on the corners of Zhan Yiyang's lips.
This simple dormitory was so attractive to Zhan Yiyang for the first time. He came back in an unprecedented good mood, but what greeted him was a dark room.
Xu Rongrong was not in the dormitory at all, she was nowhere to be seen.
The living room, bedroom, and study room were all empty.
This is a military unit in a barren mountain. Xu Rongrong knows no one and is not familiar with the roads. Where can she go? Moreover, she hasn't told him yet.
Zhan Yiyang hurriedly walked out of the door and asked the guard outside: "Where is Xu Rongrong?"
"Sister-in-law went with others to celebrate Brigadier Chen's birthday!" the guard replied.
Zhan Yiyang's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Brigadier Chen? Chen Shoujun, whom Xu Rongrong had been staring at infatuatedly at the blind date party?
He just walked away for a few hours, but Xu Rongrong actually dared to go and celebrate the birthday of a brigade commander. Very, very good.
"Where are they?" Zhan Yiyang asked coldly.
"It's just behind the hill where small parties are often held." The guard replied tremblingly, comrades, have you invited the wrong person? The commander seems... not very happy.
Zhan Yiyang walked towards where the guard said he was, and saw a fire burning in the distance. As he got closer, Xu Rongrong's hearty laughter could be heard.
