Chapter 8

Early in the morning, the sun slowly rose from the east, illuminating the whole world. The poplar trees by the roadside were illuminated by the bright light, their upright stature leaving a long shadow on the concrete road.

Shen Xinrui walked over with both hands carrying a bucket of potions, her petite body likewise leaving a slender and incomparable shadow on the ground.

Seeing that winter was about to start, there were quite a few plants in the military region that had to be prepared for winter. It was said that this winter would be colder, so Old Wang was particularly anxious and hurriedly greeted her to come over and help together.

This is not the first time for the military area of the plants to prepare for the winter equipment, Shen Xinrui accustomed to, know which plants to use which methods to protect against the cold and so on. These are nothing, is that the plants to prepare for the winter with a little too much, to her physical strength, I’m afraid there is no way to carry them all over the military area by herself. For example, now, but it is a bucket with some potions of white liquid only, from the horticultural field to carry over so five minutes of things, she has been so tired that she had to stop hands on the waist to gasp for breath.

Poplar Road below is the playground, at this time there are a lot of company soldiers running below. Shen Xinrui knew that when she was still sleeping in bed, they had already gotten up, and maybe even ran around the opposite side of the 333 peak back!

Tsk, look at these soldier strips, every one of them had great stamina, running around that big circle and shouting slogans at the same time. No wonder a certain scumbag’s physical strength is so good, to Shen Xinrui see, if she trained every day so, physical strength is certainly not good!

“Little Shen ah, what are you looking at?”

A kind voice suddenly rang from behind, scared Shen Xinrui almost tripped over the plastic bucket in front of her, but the person behind her reached out in time to pull her.

Shen Xinrui staggered for a moment to stand still, turned her head to see, actually is Gu Pan Pan her father Gu Gu Guo, froze for a moment and hurriedly raised his hand to salute. “Good morning, chief!” Although she is not XX military region people, but in the military camp or with the public good, salute what will not be less meat.

It had to be said that Shen Xinrui’s military salute was really not standardized, but she wasn’t a soldier from the military region either, so Gu Gu and Guo didn’t bother to correct her, only smiling gleefully and nodding. Then he took a few steps forward and stood under the poplar tree, his gaze falling on the playground below.

On the playground, the soldiers of the seventh squad of the third company had just finished running a big lap with sandbags tied to them, and were gathering under the bar to take a nap, and every now and then their bright laughter could be heard.

“Oh, Lai Yuanhang this kid is mixed up a little, but a good soldier seedling. Young, now still relatively immature, I guess to go to the military school to further study back will change more.” Gu Gu and Guo looked at him for half a second and suddenly talked about Li Yuanhang. Behind him, Shen Xinrui was stunned, and then pretended to be unsure, “Fortunately, I’m not very familiar with him, so I’m not too sure.”

Gu Gu and Guo turned their heads and laughed, “Little Shen, it’s not good to lie to your elders. Come on, come over and help me look for him, I just happen to have a task to hand over to Lai Yuanhang, but this old eyesight doesn’t know where he is.”

Hearing this, Shen Xinrui didn’t suspect anything and walked straight to Gu Gu and Guo’s side, glancing at him before moving her eyes down. With just a glance, she found Li Yuanhang in a large pile of soldiers wearing training uniforms, he was sitting on a training obstacle, holding a hat in his hand and fanning himself, while fanning also talking to a soldier next to him.

Without giving it much thought, Shen Xinrui immediately pointed at Li Yuanhang’s side and said to Gu and Guo, “Captain, Comrade Li is over there.”

Gu and Guo looked in the direction Shen Xinrui pointed to and saw Li Yuanhang only after half a day, then he held his breath and yelled over there, “The seventh class of the third company!”

With a roar, the resting soldiers immediately reacted. Lai Yuanhang was the fastest, he was the first to stand up and look around, and quickly locked onto Gu Gu and Guo’s position. Seeing him looking this way, Shen Xinrui subconsciously ducked back, but Lai Yuanhang still saw her. The other soldiers also stood up and looked around, and in a short while they saw Gu Gu Guo at the right rear, standing on the roadside above the playground.

“Good day, Captain!!!” The crowd shouted in unison, their bodies immediately standing straight, and they also very neatly gave a standard and incomparable military salute.

“Good, good, good, the headmaster is very good! Why? It’s because you guys are great, so I must be great as the head of the group!” Gu Gu and Guo spoke smilingly to the soldiers, then waved towards Li Yuanhang: “Hey, the little comrade who’s a great shot, come over here!”

“Yes!”

Hearing Lai Yuanhang’s loud reply from afar, shocked Shen Xinrui subconsciously turned around to leave, but unfortunately it didn’t work out because Gu Gu and Guo opened their mouths to keep her.

“Little Shen ah, where are you going? I still have something to tell you.”

“Chief, I’m going to do what I need to do.”

“There’s no rush, I’ll just delay you for a few minutes, okay?”

“Yes ……”

Gu Gu and Guo had said so, what excuse could Shen Xinrui find ah, so she could only helplessly stay where she was, watching Lai Yuanhang run closer and closer from a short distance away. When he ran to them, he gave Gu and Guo a very straight salute and shouted, “Captain!” Turning his head again, his deep eyes looked at Shen Xinrui and softly said, “Comrade Shen.”

Shen Xinrui avoided Lai Yuanhang’s gaze, lowered her head and buzzed her lips, returning unnaturally, “Comrade Lai is good.”

“Uh-huh, all good, all good.” Gu Gu and Guo laughed again as he reached out to pat Lai Yuanhang’s shoulder and said something about him going to the military academy for further training in two days, also mentioning some more important issues. Lai

stood straight from beginning to end, like a poplar tree on the side of the road, his spirit was so good that he couldn’t say anything else, Gu Gu and Guo were very satisfied. After saying a few more words, his words turned to Shen Xinrui, who had been silent all along, and he said: ”Yuanhang ah, I don’t think Xiao Shen can manage to get the tools that the plants use for winter alone. You’re manly and strong, so you don’t need to participate in the training today, just help Little Shen move things.” After saying that, he felt that it wasn’t enough and added, “This is an order, make sure you fulfill it well, understand?”

Taking advantage of Gu Gu and Guo’s words, Shen Xinrui hurriedly shook her head and refused, “Chief, no need, I ……” Before she could finish her sentence, Lai Yuanhang interrupted her in a loud voice.

“Yes! Lai Yuanhang guarantees to fulfill the order!!!”

Li Yuanhang “swish” raised his hand to his ear and saluted, the expression on his face looked very determined. Gu Gu and Guo then happily smiled and walked away, leaving Shen Xinrui in a state of anxiety. She didn’t want to see Li Yuanhang at all, but he still wanted to create an opportunity for them to be alone, what kind of thing is this?

Gu Gu and Guo had gone far away, Shen Xinrui’s anxiety was useless, so she could only harden her head and look at Li Yuanhang, who was upright and did not show all kinds of gangster-like expressions in private.

“Comrade Shen, what do you need help with, just tell me directly, I’ll handle everything.” Lai Yuanhang raised his voice and opened his mouth, his body still standing straight, looking particularly righteous. If Shen Xinrui hadn’t grown up with him as a child, she would have thought that he was a gentleman, or a good warrior who defended his country with a steel gun in his hand. Unfortunately, they knew each other and their relationship was too familiar, so she wouldn’t be fooled by her own eyes.

Shen Xinrui didn’t want to pay attention to Li Yuanhang at all, his bad behavior yesterday still lingered in her heart and didn’t dissipate, she didn’t want to talk to him at all, moreover, she didn’t want to have too much contact with him. Therefore, Shen Xinrui, who held such thoughts, ignored Li Yuanhang and directly walked over to him, lifting the vat with force and walking forward.

Completely ignored Li Yuanhang some displeasure, but looked at Shen Xinrui straining to carry a large bucket forward, and can not help but feel pain, a few steps across the past, single-handedly snatched the bucket in her hands, and then carry it forward as fast as flying. Shen Xinrui was in a daze, he went out far away, she hurried back to catch up, she wanted to yell at him to put it down, but looking around, there are many soldiers passing by, so she didn’t dare to yell, and only jogged to follow up.

“Lai Yuanhang, put it down for me, I don’t want your help. You go train, if the chief asks you about your offense, you’ll say that I didn’t want your help.” Shen Xinrui lowered her voice and rushed at Lai Yuanhang, she reached out to snatch back the vat, but he deliberately switched it to the hand she couldn’t reach.

Lai Yuanhang stopped, and Shen Xinrui was startled and hurriedly stepped back.

“Comrade Shen, helping you is an order from the head of the regiment. As a soldier, obeying orders is my

vocation, please don’t make me violate it, okay?” Li Yuanhang looked at Shen Xinrui seriously, his black eyes looked very serious and earnest, without any hint of falsehood.

Shen Xinrui froze, skimmed her lips and hummed, “Then I’ll go find him to take back the order.” After speaking, she raised her feet to go after Gu Gu Guo who had long since disappeared.

Lai Yuanhang was quick to pull her hand, just when Shen Xinrui thought he was going to do something to herself again, he just pulled her and let go of her hand, then looked at her with a sincere face, “Rui Rui, now I’m not just Lai Yuanhang, I’m still a People’s Liberation Army (PLA), obeying orders is what I should do, I hope you can understand. Private emotions, please don’t bring it into the barracks.”

“I …… “Shen Xinrui was speechless, looking at the very serious Li Yuanhang, she really couldn’t be dead stubborn. Li Yuanhang just has this kind of ability, as soon as he enters the military area, he is like a different person, completely two extremes from the private him.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Shen Xinrui walked forward without a word, and Li Yuanhang knew that she had compromised.

A whole day, Li Yuanhang really very dutiful to do the hard labor, the straw to cultivate the soil and so on, one by one to Shen Xinrui designated place, and then the two of them and then used for the plants.

The serious Lai Yuanhang is very charming, the training uniform is neatly worn on his body, even though he is full of sweat, he did not unbutton a single button. His forehead was also covered with beads of sweat, sliding down the curve of his rigid face to the ground, or hanging on the tip of his nose. The pair of dark as ink eyes focused on the work at hand, most of the things he did, even Shen Xinrui’s share of the work he also took over, just ask her to watch from the side. Shen Xinrui at first refused, must do it themselves, but Li Yuanhang is a way, this time without the bad means to threaten her, but also let her obedient.

Looking at Lai Yuanhang, who was trying to shovel soil under the flowers, Shen Xinrui was surprised, she didn’t understand why he used either way, in the end, she would subconsciously give in. This is really strange, why should she listen to him so much, and just now …… the people on the playground are obviously so many, but also clear and colorful are wearing training uniforms, and there are a lot of soldiers with the same body and Lai Yuanhang, why can she find him in the crowd at a glance?

Although she didn’t want to admit it, Li Yuanhang was like a seed to her, taking root and sprouting in her heart, gradually spreading to all the limbs and bones. As long as the heart is hurt, it will lead the whole body to hurt together, and such pain, even if she wants to escape, there is no possibility of pulling out the roots and stripping them long ago.

After thinking about it, Shen Xinrui followed behind Li Yuanhang and got most of the plants in the military area equipped for winter, and when Old Wang came back from being a little farther away after working, he even complimented her on how much faster the progress had been than in previous years. When he realized that it was Li Yuanhang who helped him, he said with a derisive face that it was her boyfriend who helped her, so it was no wonder her efficiency was so good. Li Yuanhang didn’t deny it.

Cracked his mouth and smiled with a face of spring, but it is Shen Xinrui red-faced to let the old king do not talk nonsense.

Shen Xinrui’s thin skin is something we all know, the old king did not tease her again, began to say a serious matter, that is, he went to work today, the military area a hundred miles away from the farm. It is said that the rats are particularly bad, let the old king to buy two cats over.

At this time it is already four o’clock in the afternoon, if you go to the county town, how to say a trip back and forth the sky must be dark. Old Wang’s age, the road is dark, back and forth is certainly not safe. But the farm side is in a hurry, said the loss of a day to delay a day, and also said that after dinner he will send people over to get. Seeing this situation, Li Yuanhang without saying a word, pulled up Shen Xinrui said he went with her, let the old king to help him talk to the company commander, and then simply do not care Shen Xinrui with or without agreeing to drag her out of the gate of the military zone, all the way to pull her to go a long way before letting go.

As soon as Li Yuanhang let go, Shen Xinrui shook her hand that was being held painfully and said angrily, “Li Yuanhang, what are you doing ah, I don’t want you to accompany, the security section’s people accompanied by just fine.”

At this time, the sun in the sky had already fallen to the western hills, and the earth was dusky. Li Yuanhang turned around and looked at Shen Xinrui, his handsome face was gilded with a layer of softness by the warm light of the setting sun, and he looked much milder when he was always strong. Shen Xinrui looked lost in thought for a few seconds, and then without saying a word, crossed him to go forward, but a strong force suddenly pulled her.

Not needing to think, she knew who the person tugging at her was, Shen Xinrui twisted her head around and angrily shouted, “Li Yuanhang, what the hell do you want to do!”

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanhang was actually smiling, and he was smiling particularly gently, the corners of his thin lips slightly curved up, and his eyes were also full of laughter. He looked at Shen Xinrui with a burning gaze, and his good-looking lips moved slightly, “Rui Rui, let’s go get married.”

Shen Xinrui instantly froze, as if she was in great shock, staring wide-eyed at Lai Yuanhang, trying to see the meaning of the joke on his face, but he still maintained that serious and gentle smile.

Half a second later, Shen Xinrui looked at him with a cold smile, “Lai Yuanhang, have you taken the wrong medicine?”

Lai Yuanhang’s face changed slightly, but still kept his smile, “Rui Rui, I’m serious, let’s go get married.”

“Why?” Shen Xinrui shook off his hand with force and looked at him with mockery in her eyes, “You want to marry me? What about Han Yilin? What about her, aren’t you two very much in love?”

Upon hearing Han Yilin’s name, Lai Yuanhang’s eyes flickered for a moment, and it was this extremely subtle change that was captured by Shen Xinrui. Her heart was immediately desolate, just now when he said he wanted to marry her, her heart was excited and joyful for a moment, but the next second she came to her senses, Lai Yuanhang’s words, can’t be trusted!

Shen Xinrui obviously mentioned someone who shouldn’t be mentioned, and silence fell between the two at once.

Li Yuanhang’s smile was gone, his face became very ugly, he looked at Shen Xinrui coldly, not understanding why she mentioned Han Yilin when he was determined to marry her. After half a day of thinking in his head, he couldn’t figure it out, but thought of another reason.

“Shen Xinrui, I see that you mean you don’t want to marry me?” Lai Yuanhang spoke in a deep voice.

“Yes! I just said yesterday that I hate you, right? How could I possibly marry you!” Shen Xinrui replied without hesitation, straightening her body without showing weakness and looking at Lai Yuanhang.

Li Yuanhang was silent again, and when Shen Xinrui didn’t have the patience to accompany him blindly and planned to go to the county town by herself, he opened his mouth again. This time his face brought back a smile, but obviously not the kind of gentle with a bit of expectation just now, but the usual kind of cynical smile. He blocked in front of Shen Xinrui, slightly tilted his head, and whistled carelessly, looking like a flower picker who jumped out halfway.

“Sister Xinrui, you’re not willing to marry me because of brother Xiao Yun?”

Not knowing why Lai Yuanhang would pull on Mu Yusheng in a good way, Shen Xinrui looked at him unhappily and pursed her lips after a few seconds, “I said I would take care of him for the rest of my life.”

“Very good! Very good!” Hearing Shen Xinrui’s answer, Lai Yuanhang smiled even more brightly, clapping his hands as he spoke. “Little Yun’s younger brother can be really happy, there is a woman who is not related to him by blood who is willing to take care of him for the rest of his life, and …… also really fucking happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

With Lai Yuanhang’s final change of tone in his rant, he violently reached out and pushed Shen Xinrui into the trunk of a roadside tree.

Shen Xinrui could see that Lai Yuanhang was really furious right now, his eyes were red, the muscles on his face were hideously twitching, and he looked like that Shura from hell. She was a weak person with no hands, facing the Shura, she could do nothing but grit her teeth and bear all the storms.

“Lai Yuanhang, are you trying to make me pass out again? Just like yesterday?” Shen Xinrui looked at Lai Yuanhang miserably and smiled.

“Yes, I want to fuck you now!” Lai Yuanhang gritted his teeth and unbuttoned his collar, they strangled him to the point of kicking his breath away as he was so angry for the first time ever.

Shen Xinrui, who got an answer, let out a bitter laugh, and then closed her eyes in despair.

Seeing her change from initial fear to expressionlessness, Lai Yuanhang’s anger went down all of a sudden, he frowned and stared at her, the waves in his eyes gradually calmed down, and in the end, only a deep helplessness and self-deprecation remained.

The surroundings quieted down, except for the occasional whirring sound of the wind blowing through the roadside shrubs, only Li Yuanhang’s heavy breathing remained.

Shen Xinrui closed her eyes and waited, the expected violent storm did not come, Li Yuanhang finally reached out …… to embrace her into his arms, gentle movement warm embrace, and

reassuring odor.

“Rui Rui ah ……”

He sighed.

She was puzzled.
