Chapter 942: Taking Again

"Hao Shuwen, what's the happy event? You're so happy. And Suizi too, it's only been a few days, but I feel your complexion is much better?"

It had been several days since Wang Yan appeared on the front page of the newspaper. Lin Dingding had been wanting to contact Hao Shuwen and Xiao Suizi, and finally managed to contact them this day. As soon as they met, she discovered that something was wrong with the two of them.

Seeing that Hao Shuwen didn't know how to speak, Xiao Suizi knew she was being considerate of her, so she answered with a smile: "My complexion is much better, that's your illusion. It's just because we haven't seen each other for a few days. Hao Shuwen does have a happy event; she's getting married. Can she not be happy?"

"Getting married? So sudden? With whom?"

Lin Dingding's heart tightened. She had thought of the target immediately, but she still held some fantasies and couldn't help but ask three questions in a row.

"It's not sudden. It's been so many years. Who do you think it's with?"

"Wang Yan?"

"Who else could it be?" Hao Shuwen smiled brightly, "The date is set, October 4th, at the Beijing Hotel. We won't make a big fuss; we'll just invite relatives and friends for a meal. You must come."

"Then Suizi..." Lin Dingding looked at the smiling Xiao Suizi and couldn't understand what was going on for a moment.

Of course, she knew that both Hao Shuwen and Xiao Suizi liked Wang Yan, but now Xiao Suizi was smiling and saying that Hao Shuwen was going to marry Wang Yan, which made her unable to understand.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm definitely congratulating Hao Shuwen on marrying Wang Yan." Xiao Suizi didn't say any more about this and turned the topic to Lin Dingding, "You should be getting married too, right? When you were in the Art Troupe, so many men surrounded you. Now that you're in college, there must be quite a few people pursuing you. How come you haven't taken a fancy to any of them?"

"I don't feel like any of them are very good..."

Lin Dingding was of course very popular. She roughly talked about four or five people and complained about the shortcomings of these men who pursued her.

After talking about this, she turned and asked, "Hey, Hao Shuwen, you're marrying Wang Yan, does he have to transfer jobs? I see he made such a big contribution, and his photos are all over the newspaper. He can't continue to stay in the Art Troupe, right?"

"Yeah, his relationship has been transferred to the General Staff, and he's in the Equipment Department now. But he has to stay in Beijing for more than a year. He's a writer, and he participated in the war before, so he wants to write more books. He's going to tour with the participating troops to understand the situation. He originally planned to leave at this time, but since the wedding is set, and the north and south are too far apart—it would take ten days or half a month to go back and forth—so he'll leave after the wedding."

"So that means he's not idle? Call him over for a meal. After all, we're old friends. Don't tell me you're still holding a grudge? Let me tell you, there's really nothing between Wang Yan and me; we were just chatting normally."

"Look at what you're saying. What grudge would I hold? He's really busy."

Hao Shuwen shook her head with a smile, "I don't know what's going on with equipment research, but he seems to really understand it. He says he's studying it with the researchers. Besides, when he was fighting before, wasn't he an acting company commander? The soldiers under him were all transferred to Beijing. The chief let him lead the training. I don't know the specifics; they say it's classified. Anyway, he spends most of the day in the barracks, and when he comes back at night, he still has to write and draw. He really has no time."

Lin Dingding nodded knowingly: "So that means you'll have to keep an empty room after you marry Wang Yan. Even if Wang Yan works in Beijing in the future, won't he be too busy to have time? You're not having an easy time either."

"But it's really like this. You say if a man is capable, he spends less time by your side. If he's not capable, he's by your side all day, but he's also annoying, and life isn't good either."

Xiao Suizi smiled: "How can there be anything perfect in the world? It's just that there's gain only if there's sacrifice. Alright, don't be sad about the spring and autumn. Let's go, let's go eat something and then stroll around."

Three beautiful girls wearing trendy clothes walked on the street, laughing and talking, not knowing whose heart of a young man passing by they had disturbed...

In fact, it wasn't just special forces; even ordinary soldiers were quite important in terms of weight reduction. It's just that special forces have more equipment and a greater burden. On the basis of ensuring the original combat effectiveness, defensive capability, and other functions, the lighter the burden, the better.

This arrangement was actually quite okay. Three months was enough to lay a good foundation for the special forces, and training could just proceed according to plan in the future.

Although it had only been less than half a month, the special forces had already grown a bit. For example, there was a cooking squad for cooking, and there were corresponding teachers for cultural classes.

The cultural courses currently offered included ideology and politics, psychology, language, camouflage, demolition, intelligence gathering, tactics, battlefield first aid, biological identification, etc., more than ten subjects. A considerable part of this was specifically finding experts and professors to teach.

Wang Yan also gave lectures. He mainly taught cultural classes with combat attributes such as tactics, kidnapping, assassination, etc. —let's call them cultural classes for now. Occasionally, he would talk about ideology and politics; after all, he was a master of this.

And in various practical training aspects, physical fitness, fighting, weapon fighting, driving, swimming, etc., such as driving which involved professional skills, some people were transferred to join as instructors, such as car driving, tank driving, armored vehicle driving, small mortars, and related coordinate problems, etc.

In addition, Wang Yan also found biological experts and students to conduct targeted nutritional research.

At the same time, Wang Yan also organized textbooks on physical fitness, fighting, weapon fighting, tactics, intelligence, etc. He taught his set of fast-killing martial arts and organized a set of dagger fighting routines.

And on the Equipment Department side, besides sniper rifles, he also put forward some requirements to other R&D groups or personnel from other military factories, such as bulletproof vests, combat boots, special warfare clothing and pants, and corresponding equipment belts, etc., from quick-drying and sweat-absorbing to cold-proof and warm-keeping, etc. There were also tactical bulletproof helmets, small radios, infrared imaging, night vision devices, and new multi-functional daggers, etc.

These were all equipment needed by special forces in the future. First put forward the requirements to give everyone a direction to work hard. Many things didn't have much difficulty; the difficulty was just the idea.

For example, combat boots—comfortable, breathable, firm, strong grip, can run and jump. This thing isn't that difficult. Even if the current material technology isn't as strong as it will be in the future, it can still meet many conditions, which is much better than the current Liberation shoes.

There were also some special warfare equipment, such as the leg holster Wang Yan had before, the chest holster, as well as bullet belts, grenade belts, etc. These things have no technology; it just depends on whether the design is reasonable or not.

In addition, there was the most important point: reasonable personnel replenishment. Wang Yan had already submitted a report to the chief to first conduct a grand competition in the Beijing Military Region, select excellent soldiers with strong personal abilities in the army to enter the special forces, expand the scale, and improve the system.

However, it had not been approved yet; the first batch of people had to look like something first. Wang Yan was confident about this. The report was submitted first, and there would be a chance to go out and compete later.

After the marriage was decided, Wang Yan's life didn't have any special changes. Perhaps because he felt indebted to Xiao Suizi, she came to the mansion to eat with Wang Yan every few days. Xiao Suizi still spent more time with Wang Yan, of course, mostly at night.

During the day, Wang Yan was either in the barracks or having meetings at the Equipment Department. Occasionally, Wang Yan had to get up in the middle of the night to run to the barracks for an emergency assembly. At other times, he was doing text work, writing various textbooks, and writing books. Thanks to the current stability, the "Youth Plateau" he had been writing progressed quite quickly and would definitely be finished before the wedding.

Thus, time arrived in July. This day, Xiao Suizi went home to live. Ever since Wang Yan came to Beijing and visited with her, Xiao Suizi hadn't shown up, so she went home to see her parents. Besides, it was also those few days of the month. Hao Shuwen was thinking of sleeping together when they got married, so she was determined not to come to Wang Yan alone at night; she was afraid of rubbing the gun and causing a fire.

So Wang Yan was alone for a rare time today. He also held an R&D meeting at the Equipment Department, so he didn't return to the barracks. After eating outside, he went straight back to the mansion in Beihai.

He had just parked at the entrance when he saw Lin Dingding, wearing a floral long skirt and a ponytail, flash and appear in front of the car.

Wang Yan got out of the car: "Whoa, how did you find this place?"

Although he asked this, he actually knew how Lin Dingding appeared here. Lin Dingding had nothing more than followed Hao Shuwen and Xiao Suizi, secretly discovering this place.

Sure enough, Lin Dingding was very frank: "I followed Xiao Suizi here last month. I waited outside until after nine o'clock and didn't see her leave."

"Young lady, it's better not to walk around at night; it's too dangerous."

"Aren't you going to invite me in for a sit-down?"

"Come with me." Wang Yan didn't refuse, took out the key to open the gate, and brought Lin Dingding in.

"Your house is really big. Aren't you afraid living here?"

After looking around inside and out, Lin Dingding arrived at the study and sat opposite Wang Yan, who was boiling water and making tea. "You are a combat hero who has been on the battlefield and made great contributions. I saw in the newspaper that you killed three hundred and sixty-five people. You must be fearless and afraid of nothing."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile and didn't say anything, just put tea leaves into the cup and shook it.

"Are you going to marry Hao Shuwen?"

"October 4th."

"And you haven't broken contact with Xiao Suizi? Don't lie to me. I saw her come in with my own eyes."

Wang Yan smiled and didn't say anything else.

Lin Dingding said: "Then what about me?"

"What do you want?"

"I don't know."

She shook her head, "Do they both know?"

Seeing Wang Yan not speaking, she said to herself, "It seems they know. How did you..."

"Don't be so curious. Before you came, you should have considered it and done your own psychological construction. You should state the final result. What do you want to do, what are you going to do?"

This Wang Yan made Lin Dingding feel strange. Clearly, he used to be so shy, so why was he so cold now? She thought it must be because he slept with Xiao Suizi, and there was also Hao Shuwen, which made Wang Yan lose interest in her.

She was on the verge of tears, leaned over and hugged Wang Yan: "Don't treat me like this, okay? You weren't like this before."

Wang Yan was very decisive, picked her up onto his lap, and stroked her: "Have you thought it through?"

Lin Dingding didn't resist, and even her breathing became heavy. She murmured and asked: "Will you be good to me, be as good to me as you are to them?"

Just as Wang Yan said, she had indeed made up her mind before coming. But when this moment really came, an extreme sense of insecurity surged in her heart.

She could no longer remember why she wanted to approach Wang Yan in the first place—was it Wang Yan's gradually revealed excellence, or was it that she didn't want to be worse than Hao Shuwen and Xiao Suizi?

Wang Yan's excellence was beyond doubt. In the Art Troupe, Wang Yan was the most excellent one. In fact, for a long time after leaving the Art Troupe, Lin Dingding thought there were better men than Wang Yan outside, and there must be better ones in college.

But she found she was wrong. Whether it was the men introduced to her by her relatives in Shanghai, the ones pursuing her in college, or any of the influential figures she knew, they were all far inferior to Wang Yan.

The books he wrote were bestsellers nationwide, loved by men, women, old, and young. The songs he wrote were sung all over the country. Even now, walking on the street, she still often heard passersby humming songs written by Wang Yan. Even in the most inconspicuous storytelling, Wang Yan was recognized by the vast number of soldiers. He also took the initiative to participate in the war, went to the battlefield, killed enemies like hemp, became a nationally famous combat hero, and was recognized by many chiefs.

She didn't know when it started—perhaps it was the long-distance calls that only came once or twice a year, or perhaps it was the letters she sent anonymously as Ding Lin and the telegrams she sent. She found she really couldn't let go of Wang Yan. It seemed that Wang Yan, or getting Wang Yan, had become a kind of obsession for her.

She didn't understand why she was so persistent about Wang Yan...

Wang Yan understood, but it was just because of his excellence that Lin Dingding, who had started thinking about playing with him, fell into it without knowing it, and acted until she took it seriously herself, making it hard to pull out.

His hand had already climbed onto the big treasure: "If you are steady and don't look for trouble, then it can be good."

"Wang Yan, you really weren't like this before."

"It seems we need to get to know each other again."

Undoubtedly, this acquaintance was deep and thorough—a fusion of body and soul, a wonderful experience.

Even if Lin Dingding had no communication experience, she tried her best, regardless of the discomfort. Perhaps she was also using the pain and pleasure of her body to vent some of her emotions.

Finally, this hearty battle ended, and Wang Yan once again skillfully cleaned up the battlefield. He leaned against the head of the bed, his eyebrows full of spring, his cheeks rosy, his forehead sweating, and even Lin Dingding, whose hair was knotted with sweat, ignored the dryness and heat and clung tightly to his arms.

"Thinking about it now, I seem to have delivered myself to your door." After the passion passed, Lin Dingding couldn't help but look back at the past. Her voice was hoarse because of the previous madness.

"When we were in the Art Troupe, the canned food you brought back from performances was given to them. When it was time to rest, you went out to buy meat and cook, making red-braised pork for them. When you came to Beijing, you also took them to the Friendship Store to buy things, and you even visited their parents. As for me, I got nothing, and I just gave you a bargain for nothing."

Wang Yan understood her intention very well and said: "I bought houses for both of them, so I'll buy one for you too. In addition, I'll give you some money, as well as other tickets, foreign exchange certificates, etc. Buy whatever you like. I still have some money."

"I'm not asking you for it~" Lin Dingding's tone was very aggrieved.

"Of course, I'm giving it to you on my own initiative. After all, I can't stay by your side all the time, so I can only give you some money to spend."

"You say... if they both find out..."

"Dingding, I know you are a smart woman. There's no need to make a harmonious situation into a mess."

"Oh, I'm all voluntary, I definitely won't harm you. Otherwise, it would affect your future. Can I not tell the difference between light and heavy?"

Lin Dingding rubbed against Wang Yan. She keenly sensed Wang Yan's unhappiness, and the fear in her heart made the slight sense of security she had just gained disappear instantly.

She changed the topic, "Do you know, many people in our university want to go abroad. They say foreign countries are great, and I've also learned a little... What about you? You definitely don't want to go abroad, right? Your awareness is high. But with your ability, you would definitely live better abroad."

"If the country is not good, then build it and make it better. That's what we should do. Of course, individuals have their own choices. Some people want to leave China and integrate into European and American countries, and some people want to learn advanced technology and return to build the country. No matter what, I respect them."

"However, it's not that easy to mix abroad. I heard that the first thing many people do when they go there is wash dishes, and the money they earn every month is barely enough to eat. In this way, they have to take care of their studies, which is probably not very easy. If they don't mix well, I'm afraid they will end up blaming the country for not being good and failing them. Why, do you want to go abroad?"

"Just chatting, just saying. My grades are average, and the public-funded quota won't reach my head. If you talk about going at your own expense, I can't afford it. Besides, if I really go there and wash dishes, although I can't say I've never touched spring water with ten fingers, I can't do that kind of work either. Unless I find an overseas Chinese, marry him directly, and solve both the identity and the lifelong event."

Wang Yan chuckled and lit a cigarette.

"Oh, don't misunderstand, I'm just saying. If I wanted that, why would I bother with you?" She rubbed against Wang Yan, unlike Xiao Suizi who was reserved. She was unrestrained from the inside out. After breaking through a layer of estrangement, she became even more relaxed.

"I didn't misunderstand. Just like what I said just now, individuals have their own choices. I naturally respect your choice. I think a marriage certificate cannot firmly bind both men and women. Just like I am going to marry Hao Shuwen, but I am... like this with you? Undoubtedly, I betrayed Hao Shuwen, and I also let Xiao Suizi down. I am already an unfaithful man, and you and I are in such a relationship, how can I have the face to ask so much of you?"

"Good for you, you just got it, and you're thinking of driving me away? Let me tell you, Wang Yan, I'm not leaving, I'm just going to pester you." Lin Dingding rubbed against him even harder...

She was a smart woman, and all that cleverness was used on Wang Yan. She was constantly testing Wang Yan and trying to provoke Wang Yan's emotions to complete the change in status, and then through time, reverse control of Wang Yan.

Undoubtedly, if it really developed like that, Wang Yan would definitely be ruined and very miserable. Because at that time, Lin Dingding would definitely seek more.

But unfortunately, the person she met was Wang Yan.

But then again, if Wang Yan could really be manipulated by Lin Dingding, how would the two of them have developed to this point?

It was precisely because she couldn't manipulate him that she went from the initial teasing to the later falling into it, and even had the current... situation.

Wang Yan chuckled: "How do you want to pester?"

"Of course, pestering like this." Even though there was still some discomfort, Lin Dingding still smiled charmingly and teased with her legs.

"You lit the fire, you are responsible for putting it out."

"I really can't do it anymore~"

Wang Yan chuckled and pressed her head down... ===== CHAPTER 943 =====
