Han Dong came out of the team leader's office with a gloomy face. If he denied it, he would be called pretentious and shy.
He's not shy at all!
If we really talk about it, he will definitely admit it openly. Isn't it unfair for him to do something that didn't happen
Although he was very angry, Han Dong still had to eat, so he went to the cafeteria.
As soon as he reached the cafeteria door, he heard Jiang Xinyan calling him.
"Han Dong."
Han Dong stopped reluctantly.
"Han Dong, I'm looking for you!"
Han Dong had no expression on his face and said in a calm tone: "What's the matter?"
The smile on Jiang Xinyan's face froze for a moment, so cold! Then she smiled and said, "Does your recruit class need a physical examination? If so, I'll tell Doctor Mu and arrange it."
"I'll ask the students what they think later." Han Dong was about to leave when Su Ran and Liu Yayi walked out.
"Instructor Han, Doctor Jiang." Liu Yayi greeted them obediently.
Jiang Xinyan took a step closer to Han Dong, smiling friendly and elegantly: "Hello!"
Su Ran looked at them standing side by side. The handsome man and beautiful woman were indeed a perfect match as Liu Yayi said, but also very... dazzling.
Yesterday she just guessed that they had an unusual relationship, but she didn't expect it to be confirmed today. She felt so upset that she couldn't even give a perfunctory response and turned away.
"Sister Su Ran, wait for me..." Liu Yayi chased after her.
Han Dong was confused. What was going on? She looked sour as if someone owed her five million.
"What's wrong with Su Ran?" Jiang Xinyan asked.
Han Dong didn't answer and turned into the cafeteria.
Jiang Xin looked at Su Ran's departing back, a sneer appearing at the corner of his lips.
Han Dong did not eat in the cafeteria, but ordered a bowl of noodles to take back to the office. He did not want to eat with Jiang Xinyan again and cause more misunderstanding.
Before he walked back to the office, he heard the phone ringing inside. Han Dong quickly took out his key, opened the door and went in to answer the phone.
The call was from my mother.
"Xiaodong, my dear son, you didn't even tell your mother the good news. If I wasn't well-informed, how long would you have kept it a secret?" On the other end of the phone, Zhou Shuping complained, but the joy in her tone could not be concealed.
Han Dong had a headache because Dr. Mu spoke too fast.
"Mom, this is a misunderstanding..." Han Dong wanted to explain to his mother, but he was interrupted by his mother before he could finish.
"What misunderstanding or not? You're already such a grown-up, why should you be embarrassed? I still remember Xinyan. She was very gentle and pretty when she was young. Your father also knows her father, Captain Jiang, so he knows her inside out. In short, your father and I are very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. When can you take a leave and bring Xinyan back for your father to see..."
Han Dong held his forehead with his hand, feeling very upset.
I thought it was just a rumor and that it would fade away after a while if I just paid attention to it, but I didn't expect my parents to take it seriously.
"Mom, I told you this is a misunderstanding. There's nothing going on between Jiang Xinyan and me."
"Not having one now doesn't mean there won't be one in the future, Xiaodong! My colleagues and friends of similar age have already become grandmothers, so you should hurry up and take advantage of it while I'm still in good health. I can still take care of your children..."
Han Dong was almost so used to hearing this kind of talk: "Mom, I get it. I will find you a wife as soon as possible, but it definitely won't be Jiang Xinyan. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."
Han Dong sighed in frustration, looking at the bowl of noodles with no appetite at all.
In the evening, Su Ran dragged herself to the shooting range. Instructor Han was already waiting for her with guns and bullets.
Han Dong frowned when he saw her: "Why are you here so late? Don't you have any sense of time?"
Su Ran thought to herself: I don’t want to come yet!
Su Ran said nothing, took the pistol from him and started shooting.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three shots were fired.
Electronic voice report scores: 7.1, 8.3, 5.6...
Su Ran wanted to shoot again, but Han Dong snatched the gun from her hand and said sternly, "What's wrong with you? Do you want to waste national resources at will?"
Su Ran pursed her lips and stood there with a blank expression, no matter what he said.
"Or do you think you're so great that you don't need to practice anymore?" Han Dong was in a bad mood himself, and his tone was a bit aggressive.
Su Ran suddenly raised her eyes, and her clear eyes stared straight at him, like the ice spikes reflecting the sunlight under the eaves in winter, so chilling.
Han Dong had been stared at like this before. Those soldiers who were tortured to death by him wanted to poke hundreds of holes in his body with their eyes, but her eyes were a little different. There was a bit of grievance in her anger, but she was too stubborn to shed a tear.
So Han Dong began to reflect on himself for the first time. Was he too subjective? Su Ran didn't seem like someone who didn't follow the rules and liked to do things perfunctorily. Li Wei's evaluation of her was "serious". Even if she couldn't do it well, she would try her best to do it. So, there must be a reason why she was not in the right state tonight.
"Instructor Han, I'm not in good shape tonight and don't want to train so as not to waste more national resources. Do I want to ask for leave?" Su Ran said in a stiff tone.
She knew she shouldn't bring her emotions in life into training, but there was no way, she couldn't do it. She was really moved, the first time she was moved by a man, but it was over before it even began.
She really didn't want to face him alone now.
Han Dong was silent for a moment, then he softened his tone and asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Yes! The biggest difficulty is that I don't know how to face you. However, don't worry, I will adjust as soon as possible. But please allow me to be sad, lazy and willful tonight.
"Tell me if you have any difficulties." Han Dong said. He didn't know why, but he couldn't stand her resentful and stubborn eyes.
"Will it help to tell you?"
"How do you know if it's useful if you don't say it out loud?"
Su Ran was caught in a fierce ideological struggle. Should she confirm it again? Should she fight for it? If he and Jiang Xinyan were indeed in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, then she could really give up. But what if? What if it was just everyone's speculation...
Su Ran took a deep breath, mustered up her courage and met his gaze solemnly and resolutely: "I like someone."
Han Dong's heart suddenly shrank. She looked at him so frankly and said such words. Was she targeting him
"I've fallen in love with someone, but I heard that he has a girlfriend. He and his girlfriend seem to be a good match. Should I ask him for confirmation? Or should I believe what others say?" Su Ran's palms were sweating. Could he tell that the person she was talking about was him
Han Dong thought about the time he saw her walk away from the cafeteria with a gloomy face and without saying a word. The absurd thought became stronger and stronger: "What if it's true? What if it's false?"
"If it's true, I will allow myself to be sad for one night and give up this idea. I won't do anything to destroy other people's feelings. If it's false... I will continue to like you." Having said this, Su Ran was not so nervous anymore.
True or false, she just wanted an answer.
The second update is here!
