Protagonist:
Yan Qianqian
Luo Shun seemed to want to say something more, but seeing Qianqian so resolute, he could only sigh helplessly, turn around, and head toward the mess hall.
Qianqian walked alone on the road, but her heart was as turbulent as surging waves, impossible to calm.
She couldn't help but start to worry wildly: "What should I do now? Will he target me because of this from now on? Will he make me train separately?
If that's the case, how can I stay in this camp? It's just three picture books, surely he shouldn't be so petty, right? Is this Ouyang Chengren really someone who bears grudges?"
The more Qianqian thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and her steps grew heavy. Without realizing it, she had already reached the entrance of the Zhenxi General's tent.
The guard at the tent entrance saw Qianqian and immediately stepped forward to block her, shouting: "Who comes? What business do you have with the general?"
Qianqian composed herself and quickly replied: "Xiao Jiao Jin sent me, saying the general is looking for me."
The guard sized Qianqian up, saw she looked flustered and didn't seem to be lying, so he didn't question her further and let her in directly.
Qianqian took a deep breath and stepped into the tent. As soon as she entered, her gaze was drawn to Ouyang Chengren sitting in the chair.
He wore a black robe, stood tall and straight, had a stern face, and was holding those few picture books she had bought in his hand.,
Qianqian's heart was like stormy waves, but she forced herself to appear calm. She took a deep breath, then slowly performed a salute, and said softly: "Greetings, General."
Ouyang Chengren slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on the person before him. He looked closely and saw that the person before him had a delicate face, a petite figure, and gave the impression of being frail and delicate.
However, it was precisely this seemingly harmless appearance that slightly calmed the anger in Ouyang Chengren's heart.
Ouyang Chengren put down the book in his hand and asked in a flat tone: "Where did you buy this book?"
Qianqian hesitated slightly, then answered truthfully: "I bought it at a bookstore in Chunning City."
Ouyang Chengren coughed lightly, then said: "Hmm, I understand.
But since you've come to the camp, everyone is here to defend home and country. As a man, you must not be bound by romantic attachments. These picture books, I will confiscate them for now. Don't read them again."
Hearing this, Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately, the general hadn't punished her.
However, she then thought: the picture books had been taken by the general, so what could she read in the future? Life in the camp was already dull, and these picture books were one of her few pastimes!
But seeing that Ouyang Chengren wasn't as fierce and terrifying as others said, Qianqian's courage gradually grew.
She thought: since the general hadn't reprimanded her too harshly, perhaps she could be a little bolder.
She even started bargaining with Ouyang Chengren: "General, I think classifying reading picture books as a personal hobby doesn't violate any laws or discipline, so could you not confiscate them?"
As she spoke, she showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled obsequiously.
Ouyang Chengren looked at her like this, and felt not the slightest aversion in his heart; instead, he thought she was a little bit cute.
So he asked curiously: "There's nothing wrong with reading picture books itself, but what use are these made-up picture books to you? They can't increase your knowledge or broaden your horizons."
Qianqian quickly continued to explain: "But training in the camp is really too boring!
If I can't find some hobbies to pass the time, life will be really hard to endure! Please give the picture books back to me, okay?"
As she spoke, she didn't even realize that a hint of coquettishness had unconsciously crept into her tone.
Ouyang Chengren heard her words and actually found them somewhat pleasing.
But he quickly came to his senses, his face darkened, and he said with a black face: "Stand at attention! You're a grown man, with not a bit of manly vigor, what does this look like!
That's enough, don't say anymore. I definitely won't give you the picture books. If you keep nagging, I'll make you do extra training this afternoon! ",
Qianqian heard about extra training and her face turned pale instantly. She quickly waved her hands and said: "No, no, I'm leaving now!" Before her voice faded, she slipped away like oil on the soles of her feet and ran out of the tent in a flash.
Ouyang Chengren watched Qianqian disappear from sight like a frightened rabbit in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but find it amusing.
Originally, the moment he saw the picture books, the anger in his heart had been burning fiercely, and he was preparing to scold Qianqian harshly. But when he saw Qianqian's frightened and innocent look, the words of scolding just wouldn't come out.
Ouyang Chengren himself found it strange. He didn't know why he felt sympathy for this pitiful child.
Perhaps it was because of that picture book, he speculated to himself.
This picture book must have been one Qianqian read to her three-year-old younger sister back then, and the reason he liked reading it was perhaps because every time he saw a picture book, he couldn't help but think of his own younger sister and mother.
Thinking this way, the anger in Ouyang Chengren's heart gradually subsided, and he even began to feel that if he didn't return the picture books to Qianqian, he would seem rather unfeeling. Ouyang Chengren brainwashed himself.
However, he still shook his head and decided not to think about this matter anymore. After all, Qianqian's behavior did annoy him somewhat, and he didn't want to be too soft-hearted.
Finally, Ouyang Chengren put down the picture books, got up, and went to eat.
After Qianqian came out of Ouyang Chengren's tent, her mood was somewhat heavy. She went straight to the Kitchen Camp, constantly thinking about what to do with that book and how to get it back.
Should she ask Shi Er to buy a few more? But if she was discovered again, how would she explain it? After all, she hadn't left the camp yet had several more picture books.
Qianqian thought about these questions while walking hurriedly. When she reached the Kitchen Camp, she saw Luo Shun holding a bun and staring blankly at a glance.
Luo Shun saw her and his eyes lit up immediately, as if he had found some treasure, and shouted loudly: "Ming'an, this way!"
Qianqian heard Luo Shun's shout and quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
She saw Luo Shun standing in front of a table, waving at her with a smile. Qianqian quickly walked to the table and saw that there was only half a bowl of dishes in the bowl before her, and they were all potatoes and green beans that she liked to eat.
There was also a steamed bun on the plate beside her. Obviously, this was specially prepared for her by Luo Shun.
Qianqian felt moved in her heart. She knew Luo Shun understood her tastes, disliked eggplant and tofu, so he specially didn't serve her those two dishes. She secretly sighed in her heart: Luo Shun was truly a thoughtful person!
