Sometimes, some things can only be seen clearly by an outsider.
Xue Fengqi, who had been called out by Zhu Hongyu, had a face as red as an eggplant, and after a moment, coughed: "Who hasn’t wet the bed when they were a kid?" He regretted it immediately because Zhu Hongyu quickly retorted, "Yeah, everyone wets the bed when they’re young, but you were still doing it at six! At least, you’re the only one I know who did!"
"Okay, okay, I admit defeat, alright?" Xue Fengqi wore a defeated expression, "If I don’t give in, you can talk about this until tomorrow, can’t you?
Hongyu, let me tell you, sometimes, you should forgive and forget, I’m letting it go, but others might not."
Zhu Hongyu giggled: "How can you be my ’brother’? You’re only a month older than me, so stop acting like a big shot wolf!"
"Being older even by a day is still older, even twins have to determine who’s older!"
"Who’s a twin with you?"
"I’m just making an analogy!"
"..."
The two bickered energetically, gradually forgetting the listener nearby. Eventually, Luo Ye couldn’t stand it anymore: "You two, that’s enough, are you showing off your lovey-doveyness in front of me?"
They didn’t realize it themselves, so she gave them a gentle reminder.
"Who’s being lovey-dovey with him (her)?"
This line was spoken in unison by both of them.
"See, that’s what you call chemistry!" Luo Ye spread her hands, "I advise you both to calm down and think about who that person in your heart really is."
"It can’t be him (her)!"
Again, spoken in unison.
Luo Ye spread her hands again, deciding not to say anything further.
"This kind of chemistry doesn’t prove anything. You forcefully pair me up with him, of course, I’ll argue back. And him, he’s still thinking about his Lingling, so he’s eager to clear things up."
Xue Fengqi glanced at her through the rearview mirror: "Hey, Zhu Hongyu, why do I sense a hint of jealousy in your words? I say, you don’t really like me, do you?"
"I being jealous? Dream on, big-headed ghost!" Zhu Hongyu made her face look like a twisted bitter melon, "I have someone I like, don’t flatter yourself, okay?"
"That’s good, that’s good." Xue Fengqi patted his chest, "I was scared just now, with my family pressuring me, if you surrendered too, I’d really be left with no way out."
"Being with me would make you feel there’s no way out?" Zhu Hongyu’s voice rose suddenly, "Stop the car! Hurry, stop the car!"
"Alright, alright, don’t be mad..." Xue Fengqi quickly pleaded, "I’m just worried about wronging you, see, my heart’s clearly with someone else, marrying you would surely wrong you, wouldn’t it?"
"Who said you should marry me?"
"I said it wrongly in a moment of haste, don’t be angry."
"..."
Alright, the two began bickering again.
Luo Ye couldn’t help but smile inwardly, what would happen when they one day understand their own feelings and look back at everything before?
Sometimes, growing up together makes one so familiar that they’re like family, leading to a misinterpretation of emotions, especially since both of them are not emotionally sensitive, making the probability higher.
Now she was a bit worried about Yue Santie, while he struggled with his background and didn’t dare to accept Zhu Hongyu, when the time es when some of her people are marrying off, it would certainly be a significant blow.
By the time their car reached the 78241 base destination, it was already after three in the afternoon. Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu, led by Xue Fengqi, went to visit mander Ma and Political missar Li at the base.
"Little Zhu, are you here to snatch people?" As soon as the three of them entered, a cheerful man in his forties sitting on the sofa stood up with a laugh.
"Uncle Li, you should say, ’Little Zhu, are you here to bring us honor?’, that would be the truth. Luo Ye, this is mander Ma, this is Political missar Li, Uncle Ma, Uncle Li, this is Luo Ye, the Major helping me select talent." Zhu Hongyu replied and introduced everyone.
Luo Ye saluted: "Hello, mander Ma! Hello, Political missar Li!"
"Hello, Major Luo!"
"Hello, Major Luo!"
mander Ma and Political missar Li returned the salute politely.
"Shouldn’t I be the one doing the introductions? Am I being overthrown again?" Xue Fengqi couldn’t help but plain.
"We’re all familiar, do you need to act the big shot wolf? Why did I choose this place as the first stop for recruitment? First, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Uncle Ma and Uncle Li, I miss them.
Second, recruit spots are limited, the more people selected from a team, the more honor that team receives. Of course, such good things, I must first leave to Uncle Ma and Uncle Li, who love me most."
"The girl sure is getting sweeter." mander Ma smiled and explained to Luo Ye, "Major Luo, our families used to all live in one big pound, Xiao Yu and Xiao Qi grew up under our watch, just like family."
"Oh, oh, I can tell, the bond between you all is especially strong."
Political missar Li glanced at the clock: "You’ve been on a plane for over five hours. No matter how strong you are, you’ll feel tired. Go rest first, we’ll have dinner together tonight."
"Uncle Ma, Uncle Li, then we won’t stand on ceremony." Zhu Hongyu said as she pulled Luo Ye towards the door, waving her other hand, "Uncle Ma, Uncle Li, goodbye."
Luo Ye couldn’t get rid of her hold, so she turned around and gave an apologetic smile to mander Ma and Political missar Li: "mander Ma, Political missar Li, see you tonight."
mander Ma waved and smiled: "Go ahead, go ahead, if this girl was polite with us, we’d have to reflect on whether we’ve done something wrong."
Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu’s room was a two-bedroom suite, and Xue Fengqi showed them to the door before leaving with plans to meet again in the evening.
Once Xue Fengqi left, Luo Ye smiled and said: "Sister Zhu, so the first stop is your home turf, huh? I was wondering why this was chosen as the first stop earlier, and now I finally understand."
"What do you understand?" Zhu Hongyu gave her a look, "Don’t think I don’t know what nonsense you’re imagining. I haven’t settled the bill for your wild words on the way yet, wait for it, I’ll find a chance to deal with you."
