Lu Wenwen found a secluded spot to sit, ensuring she could still catch a glimpse of Yang Tong. Her dim eyes followed the two figures, and when she noticed the smile at the corner of Yang Tong's mouth, she couldn't help but grip her clothing tightly.
The woman sitting across from Yang Tong was laughing joyfully. Lu Wenwen felt a knot of anxiety in her stomach as she bit her lip, lowering her head and wishing to look away from them. It would only make her sad!
Kang Huimei, having wandered around for a bit, inadvertently spotted Lu Wenwen sitting alone in the corner. She moved over to sit beside her and gently patted her shoulder.
"Wenwen, what's wrong?"
Lu Wenwen shook her head lightly, feeling a wave of sadness wash over her as she looked at Kang Huimei.
"You're not yourself! You were so happy before we came here; why are you unhappy now?"
Kang Huimei was puzzled by the rapid change in Lu Wenwen's demeanor.
"Is there someone you like? Be more proactive!"
After saying this, Kang Huimei raised an eyebrow at Lu Wenwen and nudged her shoulder playfully.
"Huimei, just take a look for yourself. Don't mind me; I'm fine. You should really check it out."
Lu Wenwen understood that Kang Huimei was worried about her, but she didn't want to let her own feelings affect Kang Huimei's happiness.
"Are you really okay?"
"I'm fine! Just go!"
Reluctantly, Kang Huimei turned away but kept glancing back at Lu Wenwen from time to time.
Taking a few deep breaths, Lu Wenwen finally mustered the courage to look at Yang Tong again. In an instant, her eyes widened with excitement. She quickly stood up, adjusting her clothes and braids nervously.
As if afraid someone might steal her chance, she hurried forward. When she stood in front of Yang Tong, she felt shy and couldn't bring herself to meet his gaze. Her breath quickened as she fidgeted with her clothes.
"Is my hair alright? Is my outfit okay?"
Thoughts raced through her mind as Yang Tong looked at the woman standing before him who was keeping her head down in silence. He glanced at the chair beside him, thinking it might be blocking her way, and took two steps aside.
Lu Wenwen noticed him retreating and felt even more nervous. Seeing that she remained standing there, Yang Tong spoke up gently.
"Comrade, please sit."
"Ah, I... I’m not... I mean..."
Flustered and unsure of what to say, she stumbled over her words, unable to form a coherent response. Lu Wenwen's face turned bright red as she awkwardly avoided Yang Tong's gaze.
She took a deep breath to calm herself and then quietly asked, "Comrade, are you here for the social gathering?"
After speaking, Lu Wenwen bit her lip and looked down at the ground, feeling frustrated with herself. What was she saying? Of course, he was standing there because he was looking for someone to socialize with; otherwise, he wouldn't be here!
Yang Tong chuckled softly, finding the young girl in front of him amusing. She had said just a couple of sentences, yet her face was as red as wild strawberries in the mountains.
"Yes, I am here for the social gathering," he replied. Perhaps it was his laughter that made Lu Wenwen calm down a bit. She straightened up and looked at Yang Tong seriously.
"Hello, Comrade. I am Lu Wenwen."
"Hello, Comrade. I am Yang Tong."
Their eyes met, and Lu Wenwen shyly looked away. Yang Tong didn't think much of it; he just felt that this girl was looking at him strangely.
"Hello, Comrade. I am twenty years old. My mother is a doctor in the military medical office, and I currently work as a teacher in an elementary school. Would you like to know more about me?" Lu Wenwen said nervously, glancing at Yang Tong.
She had mustered all her courage to say everything in one breath.
Yang Tong was momentarily taken aback as he stared at the girl in front of him. She looked quite young, petite with a round face and eyes that curved when she smiled. Her two braids rested on her shoulders, making her look quite endearing.
Yang Tong smiled and nodded. "Hello, Comrade. I am currently the deputy company commander."
"We can start as friends and get to know each other better over time!" Yang Tong thought to himself that he wasn't completely ready yet; he couldn't just jump into another relationship with another girl. That would be irresponsible for both of them.
He needed to fully move on from Wen Qian before pursuing any new feelings.
Lu Wenwen let out a sigh of relief. She smiled at Yang Tong with her eyes sparkling and nodded vigorously. "Okay! Okay!"
Although they hadn't fully established anything yet, it was at least a significant step forward. Now she would have an excuse to see him again.
Lu Wenwen stood beside Yang Tong, and they slowly began chatting.
"Let's sit down and talk!" Yang Tong suggested. Lu Wenwen thought he must be tired from standing and hurriedly took a seat beside him.
Unbeknownst to her, the man had already noticed her tiptoeing action!
Kang Meihui had wandered around without finding anyone she liked. She preferred tall and handsome men; otherwise, she wouldn't still be single now. Despite having a somewhat notorious reputation, it couldn't overshadow her good family background and solid job.
Suddenly, she turned around and saw Lu Wenwen sitting with a man and chatting away. Curiosity piqued, she leaned in closer to observe Lu Wenwen's flushed cheeks and nervous demeanor; it was quite intriguing to her.
She had been teaching alongside Lu Wenwen for a long time, and she had never seen her like this before. There were teachers at the school who liked her, but she had turned them all down! It seemed that this time, she had met someone she truly liked.
She gritted her teeth and steeled herself. This time, there was no room for failure. She turned to look out the door, just as a man walked in.
Guo Huimei's eyes widened in surprise, her expression frozen, nearly drooling. The man was handsome—exactly her type. She didn't like the cold-faced men from the military; they looked fierce and were utterly uninteresting.
Jiang Qing strolled in leisurely and took a seat without hesitation. If it weren't for the political commissar insisting he come, he wouldn't have returned—what a hassle! He mentioned having a childhood betrothal, but the commissar didn’t believe him and insisted he show up.
Guo Huimei suddenly dashed over, feeling a bit embarrassed at how dazed the man looked while staring at her. She quickly flashed a smile. She had startled him with her speed!
Immediately, Guo Huimei brightened her smile, sat up straight, and looked earnestly at Jiang Qing. "Hello, comrade! I'm Guo Huimei. Can we get to know each other?"
Jiang Qing nodded politely in response. "Hello, comrade! I’m Jiang Qing."
"Your name sounds lovely," she said as she leaned in slightly with a grin. "Are you here looking for someone? Because I’m interested in you."
Her overly straightforward expression startled Jiang Qing; he found himself at a loss for words as he gazed at the enthusiastic girl before him.
"Let me tell you about myself," she continued eagerly. "I’m local; my father is from the village. I teach at the elementary school next door. I'm twenty years old and single."
Jiang Qing smiled and nodded, then asked curiously, "If I may ask, what is it about me that you find appealing?"
