Chapter 260: Hao Manru Goes Mad
Su Ruo didn't know Song Jingyu's thoughts; upon hearing his words, she immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll thank Regimental Commander Song."
Su Ruo wasn't a greedy person; here in the Unit, being able to improve meals once a week was a greedy person; here in the Unit, being able to improve meals once a week was already quite good.
Seeing Su Ruo happy, Song Jingyu also felt pleased.
After the dishes arrived, Su Ruo took out her lunch box and served half of the braised pork and half of the eggs.
That soldier under your command now needs nutrition; give this to him, eating something good will help his wound heal faster.
Song Jingyu's eyes were full of warm smiles; he thought Su Ruo appeared cold, but she was actually an extremely kind girl.
Once Su Ruo started eating, she couldn't stop; she admitted that earlier she had been too loud, not that the Head Chef's cooking was bad, but the ingredients were wrong.
The Head Chef's braised pork was no worse than that of the Head Chef at the State-run Hotel.
Su Ruo ate happily, she boldly said: "If any of your soldiers get injured in the future, just come find me; I guarantee I'll cure them all."
"Good, then I'll trouble you, Doctor Su." Song Jingyu looked at Su Ruo, the smile in his eyes deepening.
After the meal, Song Jingyu wanted to send Su Ruo back, but she waved her hand, saying it wasn't necessary; it was only a few steps away, no need for someone to escort her.
Besides, if Hao Manru saw Song Jingyu, she might go mad again; Su Ruo still wanted to sleep well tonight!
But Su Ruo was destined not to stay quiet, because the next day the news that Song Jingyu had invited her to eat a special meal in the cafeteria spread throughout the entire compound.
In the military region, Song Jingyu had always been like a lofty flower, someone even the chiefs' daughters would not deign to look at.
No one expected that such an aloof person would actually be won over by an obscure little doctor.
It was said that Song Jingyu didn't just invite Su Ruo to eat; he also smiled at her—no one could imagine what a smile would look like on someone as cold as Cold Noodle Yama.
So everyone was curious about Su Ruo—what charm she possessed that could make Song Jingyu bend his will.
The next morning after waking up, Su Ruo noticed that everyone's gazes toward her were strange.
Su Ruo couldn't help wondering if there was something dirty on her face.
But when she looked at herself in a piece of glass, her face was clearly clean, and her clothes were not wrong.
So what was wrong with these people? Why were they looking at her with such complicated eyes?
Only when Su Ruo arrived at the hospital and saw Chen Dan did the mystery finally get solved.
As soon as Chen Dan saw Su Ruo, she immediately lunged at her, obviously even more enthusiastic than yesterday.
"Doctor Su, you're actually dating Regimental Commander Song."
Chen Dan looked at Su Ruo with a face full of excitement, her eyes turning starry; at this moment Chen Dan regretted immensely—if she had known earlier that Song Jingyu would come yesterday, she wouldn't have helped no matter who asked.
If she hadn't left, wouldn't she have been able to see that sweet romance between Su Ruo and Regimental Commander Song?
Chen Dan simply couldn't imagine what a romance would be like with someone as aloof as Regimental Commander Song, a male god.
Su Ruo felt a bit dazed by Chen Dan's words; after reacting, she asked, "You're talking about Song Jingyu?"
Chen Dan immediately nodded vigorously: "Doctor Su, are you admitting it?"
Su Ruo's head was full of question marks—what had she admitted? How did this girl become a nurse, and is her brain definitely fine?
Without waiting for Su Ruo to speak, Chen Dan continued on her own: "Everyone says yesterday Regimental Commander Song took you to the cafeteria for a special meal; you're the first woman in the entire military region to have eaten alone with him."
Su Ruo finally understood why everyone's gazes that morning were strange—they thought she was dating Song Jingyu.
They had merely shared a meal, with no intimate gestures at all, yet it could be spread like this; Su Ruo was momentarily speechless.
Besides, when they went to eat yesterday, the cafeteria was practically empty—how did this rumor get out?
Su Ruo couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking and said to Chen Dan:
"Song Jingyu invited me to eat yesterday only because one of his soldiers was wounded; I treated him, and he was merely thanking me."
Chen Dan clearly didn't believe Su Ruo's words: "I've heard that yesterday Regimental Commander Song even smiled at you—don't deny it."
The black lines on Su Ruo's forehead deepened further; she really wanted to say: "Older Sister Song Jingyu invited me to eat—if he didn't smile, would he have to cry?"
But Su Ruo glanced at Chen Dan, who was laughing with a lovesick expression, and couldn't be bothered to say more—anyway, even if she did, Chen Dan wouldn't believe her.
Su Ruo stopped paying attention to Chen Dan, walked alone into the office, knowing that when she went back later, Hao Manru would probably go mad again.
Su Ruo wasn't afraid of Hao Manru, but being repeatedly targeted and provoked was really annoying.
But Su Ruo overestimated Hao Manru's patience; upon hearing the news, she didn't even wait until after work, storming furiously into Su Ruo's office and shouting hoarsely:
"Su Ruo, did you have dinner with Jingyu brother last night? How dare you be so low, insisting on stealing Jingyu brother from me."
Su Ruo's face instantly turned cold: "Get out; if you say another dirty word, I can't guarantee I won't hit a woman."
But by now Hao Manru had completely lost her rationality; she had invited Jingyu brother for so long, yet he paid her no attention at all.
Why does this lowly woman, upon arriving, cause Jingyu brother to take her for a special meal—what gives her the right!
"Su Ruo, I've told you before—Jingyu brother is mine; why must you insist on taking him from me?"
Because Hao Manru's commotion was too great, it had already attracted many people; watching her go mad, they all began to whisper.
Su Ruo's gaze grew colder: "Hao Manru, you keep saying Song Jingyu is yours—did you piss on him to mark him as yours?"
"This isn't the animal kingdom—you mark something once and it's yours!"
"'What capacity are you questioning me as—wife, girlfriend, or mistress?'"
Hao Manru's face flushed red from being rebuked, and she said even more angrily: "You're nothing but a petty villain who repays kindness with betrayal; if you hadn't healed Jingyu brother's leg, do you think he'd even bother with you?"
"'If you hadn't forced Jingyu brother, how could he possibly be with you?'"
As soon as Hao Manru said that, everyone gave Su Ruo a strange look; Su Ruo, being a doctor, yet repays kindness with vengeance—such conduct is too wicked.
