Chapter 16

Meng Hechuan stood outside the door with one hand in his pocket.

The high-pressure sodium lamp emitted a golden-white light that shone on his face, highlighting his angular features.

As a member of the aerospace brigade, he has also received pilot training and has five senses that are different from ordinary people.

So even though there was a wooden door between them, as long as he concentrated a little, he could easily hear the voices of the people inside the house.

“Xiao Yan, you have such a great figure. Your waist is as thin as noodles. This skirt doesn’t look like mine. It’s made completely for you.”

“No, it’s not even close. Right! You’ve only recovered from your illness a few days ago, and your face is too pale. Come, let me apply some powder on you…”

“Aunt, no need… God, Aunt Zhang, you put too much rouge on me, didn’t you? I’m like a monkey’s butt!”

There was another round of ding-dong sounds. Bai Yan looked at her red self in the mirror speechlessly and pushed Aunt Zhang away helplessly. “Aunt, thank you so much. Please don’t touch me. I’ll do it myself!”

Aunt Zhang also looked a little embarrassed. When she was a young lady, wasn’t she very good at dressing herself up?

It seems that he has not practiced for many years and his skills have become rusty, so he dressed up the lively little girl as a red doll in the New Year picture.

After Bai Yan came from the book, she loved to dress up, but due to the scarcity of supplies in the 1980s, she never dressed up seriously.

But inside her is an emerging woman of the 21st century. Even if she only has an expired bright-colored lipstick and agarwood powder, she can still look presentable.

Aunt Zhang’s eyes were almost glued to Bai Yan, “Xiao Yan, you are so beautiful.”

Meng Hechuan was slightly stunned. Somehow, a strange thought popped up in his mind – how beautiful is Bai Yan?

A strange thought popped up in his mind, and he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the door.

By chance, the door lock made a slight clicking sound and was unscrewed from the inside.

A hand as slender and white as a lotus root pushed open the green-painted wooden door, and the red skirt swayed and hit Meng Hechuan’s eyes.

Bai Yan had dressed up, and her already fair and flawless skin was tinged with a faint pink.

Her lips were lightly smeared with lipstick, which made them look tender and juicy, and very beautiful.

Their eyes met unexpectedly, and Meng Hechuan did not avoid it.

His eyes were serious and straightforward, fixed on her face without moving.

This kind of “sincere” offensive made Bai Yan feel inexplicably shy.

She cried out “ouch”, pretending that she was blinded by the bright light.

He raised his hand to cover most of his face, “Right away.”

Bai Yan was in a hurry to leave, but she didn’t realize that she had just changed into Aunt Zhang’s high-heeled leather shoes.

She was walking in a hurry and she didn’t pay attention and sprained her ankle.

Fortunately, Meng Hechuan reacted and supported her again.

This was the second time they were so close tonight, so close that Meng Hechuan could even see the girl’s long eyelashes trembling slightly.

“Did you sprain your ankle?” His throat rolled up and down, and he lowered his eyes to look at Bai Yan’s ankle. “It’s really too late. You can take me with you.”

The atmosphere was too awkward. Bai Yan swayed her feet, quickly pulled her hand away, and kept a safe distance from him. “It’s okay. I can still walk.”

Her attitude of refusal was obvious. Meng Hechuan glanced at her and replied indifferently, “Okay.”

After saying that, he didn’t move. He just folded his arms and watched Bai Yan limping out leisurely.

Sure enough, Bai Yan hadn’t walked far when she stopped again.

Meng Hechuan knew what was going on, but he still wanted to ask her, “What’s wrong?”

Bai Yan gritted her teeth secretly, a good woman will not suffer a loss in front of her.

She has already traveled through a book, so what sense does she have to keep her dignity? Her first creed in life is of course to let others down but never herself!

Thinking of this, she turned her head and showed an awkward but polite smile, “Chief Engineer Meng, I sprained my foot and can’t walk fast. Can I borrow your arm?”

…

When Bai Yan followed Meng Hechuan to the auditorium, Ruan Xiaohui also appeared at the door of the auditorium.

When Meng Hechuan decided to pick up Bai Yan, she also wanted to go with him, but Meng Hechuan used the excuse that there was a restricted area of ​​the shooting range behind the brigade and asked other guards to take her to the auditorium first.

She was also wearing a purple long skirt, and she used a rubber band from somewhere to tie her short hair into a small pigtail on the side, and tied a yellow silk scarf around her neck.

To be fair, Ruan Xiaohui’s facial features are pretty.

Although her skin is a little tanned because she grew up in the village, she can still be considered decent if she dresses up properly.

It’s just that she had never seen anything fashionable, and she only knew how to add but not subtract, so she just put on things that she thought were high-end.

The young guard who followed her along the way was hesitant to speak, but she felt good about herself and misunderstood that the people around her were looking at her with amazement. She raised her head even higher, happily waiting to receive compliments.

“When will Brother Tsurukawa come?”

The auditorium was packed with people. Because they were hosting foreign teachers, the team deliberately followed foreign styles and decorated the entire venue into a standing party.

The colorful ribbons and neon lights made Ruan Xiaohui feel itchy. She was eager to enter the venue, but she still pretended to be reserved. “Am I waiting for him here?”

“Chief Engineer Meng has already told you that you can enter first when you arrive.” The guard led her into the auditorium, “Comrade Xiao Ruan, be careful on the steps.”

Perhaps it was the atmosphere and dress tonight that gave Ruan Xiaohui the illusion of transcending class, and she automatically took the guard’s words as a compliment.

Ruan Xiaohui raised her hand inexplicably, signaling the guard to help her up the stairs.

My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!

There was a burst of laughter from the surroundings, and several girls wearing long skirts ran past her, “Here she comes, that woman is coming!”

“Did you see what she did just now? What was she doing? Asking someone to help her upstairs. Does she think she’s a movie star?”

Ruan Xiaohui wasn’t sure if the girls were laughing at her, but she didn’t dare to ask.

The guard was also confused by her actions. He did not reach out to hold her hand, but saluted and said, “Comrade Xiao Ruan, I have sent you here. I am leaving now.”

Ruan Xiaohui had no choice but to walk to the auditorium alone.

“Qingqing, she’s here!” The round-faced girl in the afternoon was called Zhihua. She trotted to Xu Qingqing who was following Captain Xu to report.

“Who’s coming?”

Captain Xu, who was talking to Lu Zhenhua, looked at his daughter strangely: “Is it Hechuan?”

Xu Qingqing blinked and smiled as if she was watching a good show. “It’s not Hechuan, but it is related to Hechuan.”

She paused, “Uncle Lu, the female comrade that you just mentioned, the one that Hechuan brought back, is here.”

“Oh, really?” Lu Zhenhua asked Zhihua with a smile, “Did you see her arrive?”

Zhihua nodded.

Standing next to Lu Zhenhua happened to be Dean Hu of Jingzhou Foreign Languages ​​College. Upon hearing this, he could not help but turn his head to look at the gate. “I have seen the manuscript translated by that girl. Every word is translated very rigorously. Commander, you said she looks very young?”

Lu Zhenhua nodded, “Indeed, she is not very old. She looks no more than 20 years old.”

Dean Hu had high expectations for this young translator, as she had such translation skills at such a young age. “A girl that even Hechuan likes must be extraordinary!”

“Is it really that powerful?” Zhihua curled his lips.

Hu Xuexiao patted the person next to him with a smile, “We’ll know if she’s powerful or not after we let our teacher Wei try her out!”
