Chapter 7

In the art troupe, a group of girls in dance costumes were rehearsing stage steps.

“Yidada~”

“Oh, yes, Wenxi, lift your feet higher.”

“Xiaoya, stretch your arms a little.”

“Thank you, Sister Qingqing~”

“You’re welcome. We are all colleagues in the same group and should help each other.”

“Hehe, no wonder the team leader said Sister Qingqing is the pillar of our team. After being guided by Sister Qingqing, I feel like I’m back to normal.”

“Hurry up and practice! There’s a cultural performance next week and we all have to perform.”

“Oh, I see.”

The girls were talking and laughing as they practiced their movements. With their slender limbs and delicate facial features, each one was as beautiful as a flower bud.

Suddenly someone came over and whispered something in the ear of the most outstanding girl. The latter nodded in surprise, said hello to her colleagues, and then went to the dressing room to change into her regular uniform of the art troupe.

When he came out again, he had a cross-body bag on his shoulder and left the group leisurely.

About ten minutes later, a beautiful figure appeared at the heavily guarded gate of the leadership family compound.

The guard came to pick him up personally and sent him to the commander’s home.

“Qingqing~ Auntie made you a steamed egg with clams~”

“My aunt is so kind to me. I like this dish the most. I could smell its fragrance as soon as I walked in the door.”

“Qingqing, by the way, your uncle is waiting for you in the study. It’s a good time for you to go find him. The chicken soup is still stewing in the kitchen. I’ll wait a little longer and then call you to eat together.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to my aunt.”

Luo Qingqing said obediently that when she came to her aunt’s house, she followed the rules and maintained her ladylike nature.

After putting down her bag, she straightened her appearance slightly, put on a standard smile, walked to the door of her uncle’s study, and stretched out her hand –

“Knock knock knock~

“Enter.”

In the study, Chief Fang’s deep voice rang out.

After getting approval, Luo Qingqing quietly pushed the door open and walked in…

The following conversation made her laugh and cry.

It turned out that her uncle thought she had feelings for Captain He Nanfeng. Now his fiancée has come to the island, and Captain He has filed a marriage report.

Her uncle was worried that she was sad, so he wanted to invite her home for dinner and comfort her.

“Uncle, I don’t like Captain He. Whether he gets married or not is none of my business.”

Luo Qingqing expressed her opinion, but her fingers on her knees clenched a little.

The man she likes is someone else.

However, although they currently have feelings for each other,…

Upon hearing this, Chief Fang pressed down his reading glasses and asked again:

“You really don’t have that kind of feelings towards Xiao He?”

“Uncle, I don’t know where you heard the rumor, but I really don’t have any opinion about Captain He.

Besides, I still want to join the Capital Art Troupe and don’t think about marriage for the time being.”

Luo Qingqing spoke in a serious tone with a hint of coquettishness.

But when he lowered his eyes, a hint of sadness flashed across them.

It would have been great if his family hadn’t found a wife for him back home.

pity……

He promised that if he was given two more years, he would definitely get a divorce.

For two years, she was able to withstand the pressure from her family and wait for him to divorce!

“That’s good, that’s good.”

Chief Fang was completely relieved, as long as his niece didn’t fall in love with a married man.

“Lao Fang, come out to eat with Qingqing~”

“Here comes my aunt~”

Luo Qingqing responded, then took the initiative to go over and help her uncle up.

……

After a simple lunch, Su Wan raised her head slightly and her eyes fell on He Nanfeng who was not far away.

I saw him talking to the restaurant owner with a relaxed and natural expression.

Not long after, He Nanfeng successfully borrowed a bicycle from an acquaintance.

The boss was a native islander and spoke with a strong local accent. Su Wan tried hard to listen but still couldn’t understand a word.

However, when she saw He Nanfeng communicating so smoothly with his acquaintances, she inexplicably felt a sense of security in her heart.

“This island is quite large. If you simply walk around, I’m worried you’ll wear out your feet.

So, I borrowed this bike from someone I know at the restaurant, and we’ll just return it to him when we’re done using it.”

He Nanfeng explained to Su Wan with a smile, and then he patted the padded back seat gently with his hand, and gestured to his fiancée to sit on it with a tender look in his eyes.

“Uh-huh.”

Su Wan nodded obediently and responded.

In fact, she hasn’t tried riding a bicycle for a long time.

The last time I remember riding a bike was when I was in elementary school. Now, facing this familiar yet unfamiliar means of transportation again, I can’t help but feel a little nervous.

Fortunately, she didn’t need to step on the pedals this time, she just had to sit quietly in the back seat.

Thinking of this, Su Wan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, with a playful smile on her face:

“Okay, okay, as long as I’m not the one stepping on the pedals! Let’s go~”

Accompanied by the clear and pleasant sound of the car bell——

“Ding-ling-ling~”, He Nanfeng pedaled his bicycle and moved forward slowly.

The two figures were like a beautiful landscape, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Along the way, they sometimes shuttled through winding paths and sometimes rode along the paved concrete seaside avenue.

During this period, it seemed that he would occasionally run into some people He Nanfeng knew.

Sometimes it was soldiers in neat military uniforms, looking heroic. When they saw He Nanfeng, they greeted him warmly.

Sometimes they are ordinary local residents, and everyone exchanges a few familiar words with each other.

And every time this happened, Su Wan would respond politely with a smile. Even though her face was almost stiff from smiling, she knew in her heart that this was enough to show that He Nanfeng was quite popular here.

“Captain He is getting married soon. We are looking forward to drinking wedding wine and eating wedding candy.”

Su Wan understood this sentence, and her face inexplicably turned red.

It must be because the sun is too strong, yes, it is too strong.

“I’ll give you my good wishes.”

He Nanfeng responded kindly and continued pedaling.

It’s almost there. On the island, apart from their military family compound, where the dormitories are safe and drinking water is readily available, there is also a seaside village separated by a wall near the family compound.

This village was the first to become close to their military region. It was the village that accepted and cooperated with their first group of soldiers when they landed on the island.

Later, the troops were stationed near the village. While building the military base, they also included the village’s electrical circuits, water supply, and road problems in the construction scope.

Because of the friendly relationship, when the army arranges patrols, they will include the village in the key protection list.

Therefore, if my fiancée doesn’t want to live in a crowded and noisy family compound, it would be most convenient to find a house in this village…
