The corridor of the hostel had strong echoes, and besides, He Ping had a loud voice.
His sudden shout scared Su Wanwan so much that she fell on her butt, and the pain made tears well up in her eyes.
But He Ping was a typical straight - laced guy. He didn't have the slightest idea of being gentle and considerate to the fairer sex. Instead, he looked puzzled and asked,
"Comrade Su, isn't your room on the third floor? Why did you come to the fourth floor?"
"Also, what are you doing standing in front of our regimental commander's door so late at night?"
Su Wanwan didn't expect this stupid big guy to be so straightforward. Just as she was about to open her mouth to explain,
He Ping suddenly turned his back and covered his eyes with both hands.
"Comrade Su! You... Can you fasten the buttons of your clothes properly!"
What kind of decent girl would go out wearing such thin clothes with two buttons undone at night!
Moreover, their regimental commander was already engaged. It was improper for a young girl to come to see him dressed so scantily in the dead of night.
As soon as he said this, Su Wanwan's face turned alternately green and white. She quickly covered her chest.
Just as she was about to tell him to shut up, the door next door suddenly opened from the inside.
Jiang Si leaned against the door frame with her arms folded. Originally, Huo Tingzhou was also going to come out to see what was going on.
But after hearing what He Ping shouted, he sat back down immediately.
Jiang Si didn't say a word, but Su Wanwan inexplicably felt a sense of humiliation as if she had been stripped naked.
Finally, she could only hastily make an excuse.
"The buttons of my clothes popped off. I didn't notice. Thank you for the reminder, Guard He."
Jiang Si wasn't interested in this. She just asked indifferently,
"Comrade Su, what do you want from my fiancé so late at night?"
As soon as the word "fiancé" came out, a smile unconsciously appeared on Huo Tingzhou's eyebrows.
At this moment, outside the room, Su Wanwan was grinding her teeth in hatred.
After all, she was just too impatient!
Seeing that her plan for tonight had been disrupted, Su Wanwan could only bite the bullet and say,
"Actually, I came here just to tell Big Brother Huo that I'll be taking the early - morning bus back to the military region hospital to report for duty tomorrow morning."
"Since Big Brother Huo isn't here, please trouble Comrade Jiang to convey this message for me."
After saying that, Su Wanwan fled from there as if she were being chased.
It wasn't until he was sure that she had left that Huo Tingzhou came out of the room.
Seeing his regimental commander, He Ping scratched his head. Although it wasn't nice to talk about a girl like this behind her back, he really thought Comrade Su was immoral.
"Regimental commander, I think she has bad intentions."
"The buttons of her clothes weren't popped off. She was trying to use the beauty trap on you..."
"Cough - cough -"
Huo Tingzhou gave a light cough to interrupt his words.
"Alright, it's getting late. Go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, you go back to the troops first and help me submit the marriage report and the application for a family housing."
Marriage report?
It seemed that it was going to happen!
He Ping's mouth instantly widened like a trumpet. "Yes, regimental commander. I guarantee to complete the task!"
Just before going downstairs, he suddenly remembered something and asked again, "Regimental commander, what about the car?"
The troops had regulations. The time from the provincial capital back to the military region had exceeded the specified upper limit.
If someone with ulterior motives saw it, they would definitely make a big deal out of it.
"It doesn't matter. Your sister - in - law can drive," Huo Tingzhou said.
He would drive for two hours, and then when they were getting close to the military region, he would let her take over.
Jiang Si nodded with a smile. Actually, the original body had learned to drive at the age of 15.
At that time, the driver's license management in Shanghai was not very strict, so the original body would often drive to the suburbs for a spin.
As for her in later generations, she was also an experienced driver of nearly ten years. Driving was no problem for her.
"Don't worry. My driving skills are okay," Jiang Si said.
He Ping was stunned for a moment and then gave her a thumbs - up. "Sister - in - law, you're really amazing!"
In this day and age, there were very few male comrades who could drive, let alone female comrades.
Even those who could drive weren't as good - looking as his sister - in - law.
After all, their regimental commander was really lucky!
After He Ping, the "third wheel", left, Huo Tingzhou specifically explained the matter to Jiang Si.
"I'm not familiar with her, and I don't know why she suddenly came to Qiongzhou Island."
"I swear that I haven't provoked any female comrades over the years."
"Yes, yes, yes. I believe you," Jiang Si said.
Jiang Si really wasn't angry. She just smiled and stated a fact.
"You didn't provoke them actively, but with your good looks, it's hard not to be coveted by others!"
The same kind of annoyance awaited Huo Tingzhou the next day.
Since they were going to the department store to buy things for their new home today, Jiang Si changed into a pair of white Converse sneakers before going out.
She wore a pure - white shirt on top and a dark - green pleated skirt below, which reached just below her calves.
She braided her hair into a fluffy single braid and tied a dark - green ribbon of the same color at the end.
There was no need for makeup. Jiang Si just applied a little of the almond lotion that Huo Tingzhou had bought for her yesterday.
After getting dressed, she looked at herself in the mirror.
Jiang Si had a classic face with a well - proportioned forehead that was smooth and round, and fair, firm skin.
She had a pair of big, bright almond - shaped eyes, paired with a delicate, small, teardrop - shaped nose, and an excellent three - face and five - sense ratio.
Even without makeup, she was stunningly beautiful.
When she came downstairs, not only Huo Tingzhou but also the front - desk staff were visibly distracted.
They simply couldn't connect the sweet and soft little fairy in front of them with the disheveled girl from yesterday.
Jiang Si glanced at the obviously distracted man in front of her and thought to herself.
"Do you have to be so exaggerated? It's not like you've never seen what I used to look like before."
She waved her hand in front of his face. "What are you daydreaming about? Let's go quickly."
But the next second, Huo Tingzhou suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Okay, let's go."
Jiang Si widened her beautiful eyes in surprise but failed to pull her hand away.
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the guesthouse's front door, the two front - desk staff members almost let out a groundhog - like scream.
"Ahhhhh, did you see that? Did you see that? They're holding hands!"
"I saw it, I saw it!"
As they spoke, they showed an auntie - like smile. "They really look so well - matched!"
"Yes, yes. This is what we call a perfect couple!"
"I can't even imagine how good - looking their kids will be in the future."
"Exactly. It's so envy - inducing."
"..."
At this moment, the two people being so envied by the staff had just walked out of the military district gate when they ran into the commuter bus going to the Fourth Division.
When they saw Huo Tingzhou walking side by side with a girl as beautiful as a celestial being, the people on the bus instantly got excited!
Several young soldiers from the Fourth Division quickly ran up to He Ping and shook him awake.
"He Ping, He Ping, look! Who's that girl next to your regimental commander?"
"That girl is so beautiful. She looks like an actress in a movie poster."
He Ping's eyes lit up. When it came to his regimental commander and his sister - in - law, he was ready to show off!
