“It’s okay, I’ll just ask for a vacation later.” He still had this right.
There was a small box on the second floor of the cafeteria A, which was used for the leaders who come to inspect the troops. Today, Fu Hengyi had greeted the cafeteria in advance, and the box was already vacant.
It was meal time, and there were a lot of people in the cafeteria. When Fu Hengyi led Shen Qinglan through the cafeteria, more people paid attention to him. Fu Hengyi lowered his head slightly and talked with Shen Qinglan. Shen Qinglan’s face was cold, but she would not make people feel aloof, and they only felt that her temperament was elegant and unworldly.
Fu Hengyi himself was a legendary existence in the army, and Shen Qinglan’s appearance was so outstanding, the two of them walking together could only give people the feeling of a talented man with a beautiful woman kind of feeling.
Although Shen Qinglan had just joined the army, she had long been used to such gazes, and she just pretended not to notice the gazes of everyone.
Jiang Wenjing looked at the backs of the two of them silently, looked away, and looked at the food in the bowl, but couldn’t swallow it no matter what. There was sadness in her eyes.
She had always known that there were thousands of mountains and rivers between herself and Fu Hengyi, but Fu Hengyi was the highest mountain in her heart, and she could never give up if she didn’t try once, and now seeing the two of them together, even she had to admit that the picture of the two of them together was harmonious and beautiful, too beautiful to be destroyed.
The knuckles of the hand holding the chopsticks were slightly white, Jiang Wenjing’s face was pale, and she could clearly feel the pain coming from her heart.
“Wenjing, what’s wrong with you? Your face is a little pale, don’t you feel well?” The companion asked softly, with concern in his eyes.
Jiang Wenjing shook her head, “It’s okay, I was on the night shift last night, and I’m a little tired now, I’ll just go back and sleep later.”
The companion glanced at the direction Fu Hengyi and the others left, and sighed slightly in his heart. Feelings couldn’t be forced, perhaps Jiang Wenjing giving up on her feelings for Fu Hengyi would be the best relief for her.
“If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest early, everything will pass.” The companion said meaningfully.
Jiang Wenjing smiled, lowered her head and took a mouthful of rice.
Mu Liancheng hadn’t come yet, and there were only Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan in the box. Fu Hengyi was ordering food from the menu. Shen Qinglan glanced at it. They were all home-cooked dishes, but…Shen Qinglan glanced at Fu Hengyi’s order, took the menu, and ordered a few more items, all of which could be eaten by ordinary people, or were his favourites, Fu Hengyi took a look and smiled, what he just ordered were all Shen Qinglan’s favourites, they were all a bunch of rough old men, not picky eaters, although his wife was not a picky eater, but since she came here, he had to get her something good to eat.
“Master Jiang’s craftsmanship here is very good. I specially asked him to cook today. You can try it.” Fu Hengyi said after taking out the menu to the comrades in the cooking class.
“Actually, it’s okay to go out and eat from the big pot of rice.” Shen Qinglan said, she noticed just now that there were many officers eating in the cafeteria, presumably Fu Hengyi and the others usually ate in the big cafeteria below, and since she came here, she didn’t intend to be special.
Fu Hengyi smiled, “It’s not just for you. There are more people eating this time, so it’s more convenient for everyone to eat here.”
Shen Qinglan knew it in her heart, but she didn’t point it out. There was no need to explain everything between husband and wife.
“Hello, sister-in-law!” A sonorous and powerful male voice came from the door, Shen Qinglan looked towards the sound, and saw Mu Liancheng who she knew from before.
“Hello, Deputy Team Leader Mu,” Shen Qinglan said warmly and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, softening the coldness on her face.
“Sister-in-law, just call me by my name.” Mu Liancheng walked in, followed by a few people, all of whom were selected from Fu Hengyi’s army as instructors this time. Shen Qinglan also saw a familiar face inside. She had seen it in the hospital.
“Hello, sister-in-law.” Everyone greeted Shen Qinglan one by one, their gazes on her were full of curiosity, Fu Hengyi introduced everyone’s name to her, and Shen Qinglan took a moment to match the name with the person.
“Sister-in-law, I have been hearing about you from our deputy team and other brothers, and now I see your true face in Lushan.” A tall and thin man said with a smile. Fu Hengyi had said his name was Zhang Wei.
“Sister-in-law, when are you going to hold the wedding with our captain? Our red envelopes are ready.” Another person named Qian Fei asked, this was the one Shen Qinglan thought was familiar just now.
“Sister-in-law, do you have any older sisters or younger sisters in your family? There are a lot of single dogs in our team, please introduce us.” This was what Meng Liang said. As soon as the words came out, Shen Qinglan knew that this person was definitely a self-proclaimed playboy.
“Every one of you is talking non-stop when you came here, I want to ask if sister-in-law is allowed to eat or not.” Mu Liancheng said in a deep voice.
Everyone immediately quieted down, with embarrassment in their eyes, they were so excited to see the captain’s wife for the first time that they even forgot to eat.
Shen Qinglan didn’t care about these things, “The wedding will be held in June, everyone is welcome to attend then. But there is no need for red envelopes, and there will be enough wine.” The soldiers actually didn’t have many space dollars, just a little every month, they were all Fu Hengyi’s comrades-in-arms and brothers, so the wedding would definitely not be held without them.
Qian Fei had a good impression of Shen Qinglan. Although Shen Qinglan looked a few years younger than him, what she said in the hospital last time made him feel that the captain would choose this woman as his wife was completely right? There was no reason.
“Sister-in-law, did you come here this time to accompany the army?” Meng Liang asked. How could it be possible to accompany the army here, and their troops would not allow it.
“Hey, sister-in-law, I’m having a brain twitch, you pretend I didn’t ask.” Meng Liang laughed.
Although Shen Qinglan didn’t talk much, she would respond to anyone who talked to her, and she could pick up any topic. Meng Liang, who had never been in contact with Shen Qinglan before, had a very good impression of her.
Now he finally understood why the group of people who followed the captain on a mission last time all praised how good the captain’s wife was after they came back.
Soldiers always ate fast. Although they had slowed down their eating speed to take care of Shen Qinglan’s speed, the meal was still finished very quickly. Fu Hengyi had already paid the bill in advance because it was reserved, and of course, any issues could be avoided.
“What do you do on weekdays? Have you been training?” Shen Qinglan asked curiously, she was very eager to find out about Fu Hengyi’s past.
Mu Liancheng smiled gently, “My sister-in-law must want to ask about the captain, but we all entered the unit later than the captain. When we entered, he was already our captain.”
“And he was our instructor.” Qian Fei added that after a meal, their relationship with Shen Qinglan had become closer, and many of their conversations had become more casual.
“When we met for the first time, he gave us a hard blow and destroyed our self-confidence completely.” Meng Liang said bitterly.
Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, “Oh?”
Seeing that Shen Qinglan was interested, Meng Liang got excited, and continued: “We had a total of 300 people who participated in the selection, and they were all top soldiers who jumped out of various military regions. They must not be weak. So, they also had their own pride.”
“At the beginning, Meng Liang was the most thorny, sister-in-law, don’t look at him now, when he first came here, he was so annoying, he had the posture of being the best in the world, and he was the most disobedient. It was him who did it, and he learned his lesson after being severely punished by the captain several times.” Qian Fei interjected, with a look of gloating on his face, as long as he remembered the scene when Meng Liang was punished by Fu Hengyi back then, he would be happy.
Meng Liang also remembered, touched his head in embarrassment, and said with a dry smile, “Wasn’t that me being young and ignorant?”
“Sister-in-law, let me continue, there were many thorns in our group at that time. Naturally, I was not convinced when I saw such a young instructor as the captain. When he spoke, I was very rude. The intensity of the training was continuously increased. In just half a day, the physical strength of the three hundred of us was almost exhausted. The captain said lightly, “Can you be called a pioneer?” Some people said that the captain was avenging his personal revenge, and even clamoured that if the captain was not an instructor, his ability would not be as good as ours, and then there was a competition.”
Thinking of that game, Meng Liang burst into tears, because he was really the one who was the worst abused. It was him who took the lead in provoking the captain.
Armed swimming, cross-country run with heavy loads, 400-meter obstacles, shooting, fighting…everything was beaten by Fu Hengyi. After losing, he had to accept Fu Hengyi’s cynicism. At that time, Meng Liang just wanted to quit like that, but he was unwilling to be driven back on the first day he came in, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Others who challenged Fu Hengyi were also beaten, but not as harshly as Meng Liang, and Fu Hengyi didn’t say anything harsh to them.
Meng Liang challenged him a few more times after that, but every time he was beaten, his admiration for Fu Hengyi increased. After a few times, he completely became Fu Hengyi’s fanboy.
Meng Liang’s eloquence was very good, and he spoke vividly. When Fu Hengyi came back, he was speaking vigorously.
“What are you talking about so happily?” Fu Hengyi walked in and asked warmly.
Meng Liang turned silent for a moment, and Shen Qinglan looked at Fu Hengyi with a half-smile, “We’re talking about your heroic deeds.”
Fu Hengyi glanced at Meng Liang, showing no emotion.
“What, sister-in-law, we still have training later, so let us go first, you have a good chat with the captain.” Meng Liang stood up and ran away in a hurry. Qian Fei said goodbye to Shen Qinglan and also ran away.
“Sister-in-law, I owe you an apology for what happened last time.” Only Mu Liancheng was left in the box, and he looked at Shen Qinglan and said seriously.
“You’ve already said you’re sorry.” Shen Qinglan said, “And you’re not to blame for what happened that time.”
Mu Liancheng took a deep look at Shen Qinglan, “Thank you, sister-in-law.”
Fu Hengyi had been watching from the side, it was just that he looked at Shen Qinglan with a kind of tenderness in his eyes. In fact, he always knew that she was definitely not a warm person. This time, she was willing to have dinner with his brothers and chat with them purely because they were his brothers.
