Chapter 43: A love-brained couple running toward each other

Li Jiaojiao's eyes were already filled with tears. Before she could open her mouth to question, she heard her good sister ask for her—

"Regiment Commander Jiang, who is she?"

"My partner. Please move aside."

Jiang Ye's voice was low, his eyes filled with coldness and distance.

Toward a strange female comrade, he didn't feel there was any problem with his attitude.

"Jiang Ye, when did you have a partner? Why didn't I know?"

Li Jiaojiao widened her eyes in disbelief, her eyes filled with accusation and disappointment.

In her view, Jiang Ye was just a bit cold and slow to warm up. She had patience and would give him time to warm his heart.

This time, the matchmaking event held on the Sea Island—her aunt told her that Jiang Ye couldn't escape; he would definitely come to this matchmaking event!

She had looked forward to it for so long, and for this event, she had put in so much effort!

These things turned into bubbles at this moment.

He was actually holding another female comrade's hand, openly and with absolute possessiveness, protecting the other party!

This made her look like a clown; all along, it had been her unrequited love!

How could he be so heartless!

"This comrade, who are you? When I have a partner, what does it have to do with you?"

Jiang Ye's expression remained cold. He searched his memory carefully and felt they had no intersection.

This female comrade, why did she have the look of him being a heartless man?

"You—"

Li Jiaojiao stamped her feet in anger. Because of Jiang Ye's cold attitude and his question without a ripple, she felt great humiliation.

She looked at the girl who was no worse than her in looks, figure, or temperament, covered her face in annoyance, and fled this embarrassing place in sadness.

"Woo woo woo."

"Jiaojiao."

The short-haired girl hurriedly chased after her, and at the same time, glared fiercely at the girl who was poking her head out.

It was all this girl's fault for suddenly appearing and stealing her good friend's man!

Shen Man, who was inexplicably shot, poked the man's waist and stated calmly:

"That female comrade is crying."

"Oh."

Jiang Ye grabbed the little hand that was making trouble on his waist, his expression softened, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"We're not close. No matter what outsiders say, believe me, we'll just live our own little life well."

Shen Man heard the man say these words, a satisfied look appeared on her face, and she muttered in a low voice:

"A male beauty is a disaster."

"Hm?"

Jiang Ye was a martial artist and had never slacked off in practicing martial arts in this life, so his hearing was superior to ordinary people.

He had only heard of "a female beauty is a disaster"; this was the first time he had heard the term "a male beauty is a disaster."

"Nothing. Alright, I'm hungry. Let's eat quickly. After eating, I'll visit my brother. I also want to ask about the progress between him and my future sister-in-law."

Shen Man realized she had let something slip, but she had been so quiet; could Brother Jiang Ye hear her?

"Good."

Jiang Ye stared at his little girl a few more times. A flower-like face and jade-like color, a feast for the eyes.

She looked so obedient, but her true nature was a bit lively.

She knew how to measure, knew when to advance and retreat, acted obedient when she needed to play dumb, and when pushed, would jump out and bite people like a little rabbit.

Hypocritical?

No, he liked all the sides she showed and the sides she hadn't revealed yet.

If she didn't care about him and trust him, how could she reveal her flaws?

Tangyuan, do you think Brother Jiang Ye discovered anything?

"Meow."

Master, which aspect are you referring to?

Well, it's that I'm not as simple and harmless as I look on the outside.

"Meow."

Master, someone who truly loves you and cares about you will unconditionally tolerate your bad temper and accept everything about you.

Is that so?

Shen Man's gaze landed on the man who was queuing to get food. The more she looked, the more she couldn't hide her appreciation and love.

Tangyuan stretched on its master's lap. Elder Lu once said:

Men and women who fall in love will grow love-brains.

A one-sided love-brain is very likely a bad thing.

A love-brain where both run toward each other is a seasoning in a relationship that can keep it fresh for longer.

So, it looks like Master and the big shot are the kind running toward each other, right?

After lunch, Jiang Ye accompanied the young girl to the dorm to visit his future brother-in-law.

On the way, he told the young girl that their military marriage application report had been approved, and the leadership and organization had already approved it!

As long as the staff at the marriage registration office outside the Sea Island were at work on Monday, they could go get the marriage certificate and become a true couple.

In addition, they could go to the Logistics Department to choose the family quarters in advance and book them, otherwise, once today passed, many officers who successfully found partners today would be grabbing the housing resources.

Finally, he told the young girl a piece of good news: Grandfather would arrive by train in three days. At that time, they, the grandfather and grandchildren, could accompany the old man to settle down and recuperate on the Sea Island for a long time.

"That's great, Grandfather can make it to our wedding!"

Shen Man's face naturally flushed red after hearing that the marriage report had been approved.

Only when she heard that Grandfather was coming did a hint of surprise appear in her expression.

That's great. Grandfather was escaping the sea of bitterness, and in the future, he could live on the Sea Island with them, the siblings.

So good!

She couldn't wait to share this good news with her brother!

"Brother!"

However, when she climbed to the fifth floor, she stumbled upon a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life—

"Ah~"

She quickly covered her mouth, her pretty eyes wide open.

"Hm? Beautiful little sister, kissing?"

Pei Yan Ting calmly retracted her right leg that was pressing on the man's shoulder, tidied up her messy white coat in a leisurely manner, her tone gentle, as if afraid of scaring the delicate and soft little girl.

Shen Man looked at the female comrade with a clear and cold temperament with bright eyes. As soon as she saw the white coat she was wearing, she guessed the other party's identity.

The next second, without thinking, she greeted her enthusiastically:

"Hello, Sister-in-law!"

Pei Yan Ting heard this address, and the playfulness on her face faded, replaced by a hint of unnaturalness.

"Manman, don't call her that randomly, she isn't—"

Lu Xiu Bai's face flushed red. He didn't dare look into his sister's clear and innocent eyes and could only look to Jiang Ye for help, blinking frantically—

Help me!

"Beautiful little sister, I am your brother's attending physician, Pei Yan Ting. Nice to meet you."

Pei Yan Ting extended her right hand generously, introducing herself to the little girl in a harmless way.

The little girl was so beautiful; she really wanted to rub and pinch her...

Unfortunately, today wasn't the right time.

"Nice to meet you."

Shen Man raised a smiling face and extended her right hand to shake hands with her future sister-in-law.

With this shake, she felt the calluses on her future sister-in-law's palms.

Hm?

Sensing the beautiful little sister's curiosity, Pei Yan Ting spread her palms generously and explained:

"Left behind when practicing shooting. I'm a military doctor, and I occasionally go on business trips to support border areas."

"Sister Yan Ting, you can even shoot? That's so amazing."

Shen Man understood, and at the same time, she admired her future sister-in-law even more.

"If you have time, come find me to play; I'll teach you."

Pei Yan Ting agreed in seconds, not for anything else, but because it was rare to meet a beautiful little sister who didn't fear her military doctor profession and looked at her with admiration... ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
