Chapter 20

Qin Lingnian stood outside the door, frowning as he looked at Zhang Meijing who was immersed in passion!

He thought of countless people, but he never expected that it would be Zhang Meijing who would come to him!

Although Qin Lingnian had met Zhang Meijing several times, and Zhang Meijing’s brother Zhang Shaosheng had formally introduced his sister to him, he really couldn’t remember her name.

However, this did not affect Qin Lingnian’s vigilance towards women at all.

Three months ago, during a mission, he saved Zhang Shaosheng’s life!

If he had not reacted quickly and pulled Zhang Shaosheng down, the enemy spy’s gun would have definitely hit Zhang Shaosheng in the forehead, and he would have died on the spot.

From then on, in order to thank him, Zhang Shaosheng would invite him to his home for dinner from time to time, but he always refused.

After that, whenever his family improved their food, they would make dumplings or meat buns and send some to him, but every time it was Zhang Shaosheng’s son who came. Unexpectedly, this time it was his sister who came.

Although everyone in the army was upright, he had no extra thoughts about Zhang Shaosheng’s sister, either in public or in private, but the fact that she ran to his dormitory to bring him buns and cleaned the room for him would definitely make people think too much.

No wonder Qi Zheng spoke to him in that tone.

Obviously there was a misunderstanding.

Although he had submitted his marriage report three years ago and his main purpose of returning home to visit his family was to get married, apart from his superiors, only Xie Xiaorou, who had repeatedly pestered him to have a relationship with her, knew that he was going to get married.

The reason why he did not announce that he was going home to get married was mainly because he was afraid that something might happen along the way. He wanted to wait until he and Yun Angge got the marriage certificate before coming back to tell a few close comrades.

However, just after returning, before I had time to say anything, something unexpected happened.

“Comrade Zhang, please thank Captain Zhang for his kindness on my behalf, but I have already had dinner. Please take the buns back and give them to the children.”

In order to save money, Qin Lingnian had been eating the dry food he brought from home during the few days on the train. He had not had a hot meal until now. When he smelled the freshly-cooked meat buns, his stomach protested.

But he couldn’t lose his reason and morals for four meat buns.

In the past, when Zhang Shaosheng’s sons came to give him gifts, he refused them one by one, so this refusal would not seem unkind.

“Brother Qin, given your relationship with my brother, you’re being too polite to our family.” Zhang Meijing only thought that she thought Qin Lingnian’s distance was just politeness.

She took a step closer to Qin Lingnian, put the lunch box on the small table at the door where toiletries were placed, and reached out to grab the army green basin in his hand, which contained a pile of dirty clothes.

“Brother Qin, you must be exhausted. Go inside and rest. I’ll help you wash your clothes.”

“No need!” Qin Lingnian quickly snatched back the basin. His sharp eyes turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he couldn’t help but take half a step back.

He glanced sideways at several comrades who were walking in the aisle in short-sleeved shirts and shorts instead of their military uniforms, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.

It was the evening rest time for the troops. Many men who were sweating after coming down from the training ground walked around in shorts and T-shirts after taking a shower. Even though the shorts were knee-length, it was still very uncivilized in front of female comrades.

In the past, there were female comrades who came to the dormitory to look for someone, but they never went into the building. They would wait outside and look for someone to notify.

Although this woman is not a soldier and has only been in the army for a short time, she should know this basic common sense.

It’s not that he has evil intentions, it’s just that her fox tail is being exposed more and more.

He knows this trick too well.

She was a woman, a single young woman at that, and she went into his dormitory, a single dormitory, regardless of everyone’s eyes, brought him food, cleaned the room, and helped him wash his clothes. Wasn’t this telling the outside world that she had a special relationship with him?

It makes people mistakenly think that they are dealing with objects.

This move is similar to what Yun Angge used back then… using gossip from the outside world to force him to submit!

No wonder the ancients said that only women and villains are difficult to raise!

As expected!

These women are all very cunning!

If he is not careful, he, a brave man who has fought dozens of bloody battles with enemy spies, will be treated like a fool by them!

Fortunately, he had combat experience, and his whole body was alert and vigilant!

To be exact, before this, he and Captain Zhang’s sister had only met three times. The first time they met, after Captain Zhang introduced them, he said “hello” to her out of politeness and never said another word to her after that.

He still doesn’t even know her name!

“Comrade Zhang, please leave immediately. This is a male dormitory. It is not appropriate for a female comrade like you to be here. Also, I did eat. You can take the buns back. Also, tell Captain Zhang for me that he and I are comrades-in-arms. It is natural for us to help each other. If he is always thinking about my help to him, then he does not regard me as a comrade-in-arms who will share life and death with him.”

After saying this, without caring whether Zhang Meijing was embarrassed or ashamed, Qin Lingnian turned and walked towards the washroom at the end of the corridor.

Zhang Meijing knew that Qin Lingnian was cold, but she didn’t expect that even though she had put aside her dignity and pursued him so blatantly, he would reject her so heartlessly.

He even rejected her in public, not giving her any face at all!

She lowered her head and bit the inner corner of her lip hard, her fair face turning as red as a cooked shrimp.

Not only does it make me angry, it also makes me smelly.

No matter how self-righteous she was, since Qin Lingnian had said so much, she could no longer shamelessly stay there.

She gritted her teeth and raised her head to see Qin Lingnian’s back, when she suddenly saw a few men wearing T-shirts and shorts who had just taken a shower. Her face turned even redder and she turned her head away in embarrassment, not daring to look around anymore.

After a long while, Zhang Meijing calmed down, lowered her head to her chest, and left in annoyance.

She also didn’t expect that these men would be so indecent. It wasn’t even dark yet, but they were running around shirtless.

Come to think of it, it was also her fault for being too impatient!

Knowing that Qin Lingnian was coming back today and her family happened to have steamed meat buns, she took the initiative to come to the dormitory to bring him a few.

In order to show her virtuousness in front of him and to make outsiders mistakenly think that they were in a relationship, she shamelessly entered his dormitory and wanted to tidy up the room for him and wash the sheets and clothes.

If you think too much, it will backfire.

No wonder Qin Lingnian was so angry!

He must have thought that it was extremely indecent and unrespectful for a girl like her to walk around so openly among a group of men, especially among so many shirtless men.

It seems that being impatient will not help you!

If she wants to marry Qin Lingnian successfully, she needs to put in more effort and come up with a precise and effective solution.

Over here, the washroom.

Qin Lingnian had a stern face and was about to turn on the faucet to wash clothes when Qi Zheng came over humming a little tune and holding a basin of clothes.

He nudged Qin Lingnian’s shoulder with his shoulder and joked in a mean way: “She’s a nice girl, but you don’t understand romance…”

Qin Lingnian turned off the faucet and vigorously rubbed soap on the collar of his Mao suit. He tilted his head and glared at Qi Zheng, who was watching the fun and making trouble. “I’m a married man now. If you ask me to have sex, aren’t you encouraging me to commit a crime?!”

Although there were other people washing clothes in the bathroom at the moment, Qin Lingnian did not deliberately lower his voice, so it was loud enough for Qi Zheng to hear clearly.

But he seemed not to have heard clearly what Qin Lingnian said, and his pupils shrank sharply and were full of disbelief!

Not only Qi Zheng, but also the two men who were washing clothes in the sink behind him turned around suddenly and looked at Qin Lingnian’s back in shock.

“Qin Lingnian, what did you say?” Qi Zheng came back to his senses and turned off the faucet. Afraid that his hearing would be affected again, he anxiously urged the two people behind him, “Quick, turn off the water too.”

The two onlookers behind him hurriedly turned off the tap. One of them was brave enough to run over and said, “Qin Ying, did I hear you right? You just said you are a married man?!”

“You heard me right!” Qin Lingnian continued to wash clothes calmly without even looking up. “Five days ago, my fiancée and I got our marriage certificate. I am a married man now…”

“Fuck you…” Qi Zheng looked like a gentle and elegant man, but he had been influenced by many rough men in the army over the years. He was so excited that he cursed directly, “Qin Lingnian, you old boy, you hid it well enough…”
