Yun Jingqi had a serious look on her face. "Can I tell you what I think?"
Xia Zhongcheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at her.
He was a very shrewd person, and he knew very well that … Second Sister Yun only had a "good impression" of him at most. At this moment, according to her straightforward personality, the best answer that came out of her mouth was probably "I can wait for you."
Perhaps even this was an extravagant hope.
He didn't want to be rejected.
Once he was rejected … the two of them would be in an awkward situation and it would be difficult for him to pursue her. He couldn't be so thick-skinned as to never give up, right?
He simply waved his hand and said, "I'm really a little hungry now! Let's eat! We'll talk about it later! Let's order! Let's order! Let's order! "
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Yun Jingqi didn't continue the conversation. She waved her hand and called the waiter over. "Comrade, can you give us two bowls of cross-bridge rice noodles? And a plate of pickled vegetables, a sausage with fried green peppers, and … "
Xia Zhongcheng listened to her clear and crisp voice and his heart was bubbling with joy. It wasn't because of the food, but because Yun Jingqi didn't reject his confession to his face.
Based on her personality, this meant … there was a chance!
At night …
Xia Zhongcheng returned to the regimental headquarters.
He was so excited that he wanted to find someone to chat with. He simply grabbed the phone on the table and dialed Yun Jingting's number. "Hey, Tiger, is everything alright at the outpost?"
Yun Jingting was an experienced person. She held the receiver and narrowed her eyes. "You called me in the middle of the night just to ask me this? Bullshit! Say it! What's the matter? "
Xia Zhongcheng laughed. "Can't you stop being so smug to show that you're smart?"
"Are you going to say it or not? If not, I'm hanging up! "
"Say it! Say it! I … "Xia Zhongcheng couldn't help but smile." I saw your sister today and even had dinner with her! "
Yun Laohu's voice was low and teasing. "Who's the smug one between the two of us?"
"Haha …"
"What happened after that? Did you just eat? Didn't he say anything? "
Xia Zhongcheng stopped smiling. "What did you say? What right do I have to say that now? "
Yun Jingting laughed awkwardly. "What a waste of time!"
Xia Zhongcheng was unconvinced. "Me? Dawdling? If this was a peaceful era, I would have thought of ways to marry your sister as soon as possible. I wouldn't dawdle. Let's get married first and fall in love later! But could he do it now? Tiger, pat your heart and tell me, if you didn't marry Mi Xaing 'er now, based on our current situation at the frontline … would you still carry her to register your marriage? "
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
Yun Laohu's voice came faintly with a tinge of sadness. "If it were now, I really wouldn't dare to marry Mi Xaing 'er. I'm afraid that I'll be a burden to her! I was afraid that she would be worried about me! I just want her to be happy and not worry about me … That would be the best! "
Xia Zhongcheng added softly, "That's what I feel too!"
While he and Yun Jingting were on the phone, Second Sister Yun couldn't fall asleep either. She made a long-distance call to her mother. "Mom, is everything okay at home?"
Xu Jingya was especially happy to hear her daughter's voice. "Everything's fine! Oh! Mi Xaing 'er's parents have returned to the country and are preparing to move into our house! Your Uncle Xiao has agreed to treat Military Commander Chen's illness! "
"That's great! How's Uncle Xiao? Mom, when are you going to hold your wedding? "
Xu Jingya smiled embarrassedly. Her face was a little red over the phone. "We're already so old. Forget it! Don't embarrass yourself! "
"Mom, don't think like that. What's there to be embarrassed about? Our children support your remarriage. You didn't steal from anyone or snatch from anyone. Why don't you do it openly?"
"We'll talk about it later! Let's talk about it later! "
Second Sister Yun knew that her mother was an upright person and would not listen to others easily, so she did not try to persuade her. She lowered her voice and subconsciously curled the phone cord with her fingers. "Mom, guess … who I saw today?"
Xu Jingya immediately understood. "Huh? Who did you see? Could it be Staff Officer Xia? "
"Yes! It's him! He's not a staff officer anymore. He's a political commissar for Tiger! " Second Sister Yun hurriedly added, "He also said … Tiger is quite good. Mom, don't worry!"
"Oh? How's the situation at the border? There won't be a war, right? "
"Not for the time being, right? There are only some minor conflicts! There are a lot more refugees though! "
"Sigh! Jing Qi, if you're free and the organization agrees, go and see Tiger and see how he's doing. Also, ask him to write a few more letters to Mi Xaing 'er! It'd be even better if he could call. Our family misses him! "
"Got it! Mom, Tiger is in the army now. No matter what he does, the organization has regulations. He knows what he's doing! "
Xu Jingya nodded. "Also, take care of Staff Officer Xia. Sigh, Qi 'er, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence? After going around in circles, he and Tiger became partners? This is probably called … Birds of a feather flock together, right? "
Yun Jingqi said coquettishly, "Mom, what are you talking about? Who's a feather flock with whom? If others hear this, they'll misunderstand. "
Xu Jingya snorted. "Since when did you learn to be so petty? Why should you and Staff Officer Xia be misunderstood? Both of you are unmarried. If you want to be together, then be together. If you don't want to be together, then be it. No one can say anything about it! Jing Qi, let me reiterate to you again. Xia Zhongcheng is a good person. Don't miss out on a good match! "
This time, her tone was firmer. "Qi 'er, you're already old, and Mother shouldn't be involved in matters of the heart. But ever since you left home, I've thought about it for a long time, and I still feel that I should say this out loud. Let it go when it's time to let it go. Don't get involved and delay the happiness of others!"
Yun Jingqi was silent for a while. "Mom, don't worry. I know what to do! Tong Che and I … I don't owe him anything. I have a clear conscience! It's just that … "
"It's just that what?"
"It's just that I don't plan to rush into another relationship! I always thought that love comes naturally. There's no need to force or compromise. If you like someone, you like them. If there's no reason, you just want to be with them. You'll cry for them, laugh for them, get jealous, act coquettishly, and throw tantrums. If there's a day when I feel this way … I won't need you to urge me or stop me. I'll follow that person to the ends of the earth without hesitation. "
Xu Jingya nodded in relief. "That's for the best. I only advise you not to lock yourself in the ivory tower. Take a step back and see the world! Qi 'er, no one wants you to be happy more than me! I hope you find your love soon! "
She smiled gently. "Jing Qi, I'll give you a piece of advice! Love always comes quietly. It seeps into your heart unknowingly through small things! Perhaps when it first came, it was family and friendship. But after getting along with each other bit by bit, it slowly changed! Don't deliberately reject or resist it. Don't take the initiative to cater to it. Just relax! When you're enlightened and suddenly look back, that person might be in the dim light! "
Yun Jingqi covered her mouth and laughed. "Mom, you've become an expert in love now! You can actually interpret love so thoroughly? You can even quote from the classics? Did you learn from Uncle Xiao's experience? "
"You naughty child. As you talk … you're actually talking about me?" Xu Jingya smiled and changed the topic. "Qi 'er, take care of your body when you're outside. Don't tire yourself out!"
"Okay! I got it! Mom, is Mi Xaing 'er here? I want to talk to her! " Yun Jingqi was a thoughtful person. "Mi Xaing 'er's family is reunited. I haven't had time to congratulate them yet!"
"She's not here! She went out to discuss business and hasn't come back yet. "
"Huh? Business? "
Xu Jingya nodded. "It's a long story. I'll wait for you to come back! Anyway, Mi Xaing 'er is very busy now. Other than the provincial project, she's also busy with Feng Xiuzhu's clothing business … "
Yun Jingqi asked casually, "What's going on with Little Feng?"
"Little Feng has accepted a big business deal! And she took the initiative to look for him! "
"There's such a good thing?"
"Yes! It's that Little Fengxian who won the Best Supporting Actress Award this year. Do you still remember her? Mi Xaing 'er helped her daughter's case? "
"Yes!"
"She was the one who pulled the strings. She took on a new drama, and I think it's tentatively called 'Unfinished Tea'. It's a Sino-Japanese co-production, and it's about the Anti-Japanese War. I heard it's a big production and they need a lot of World War II costumes. Fengxian strongly recommended Xiuzhu! So, this business deal belongs to her! "
Yun Jingqi could not help but sigh. "Looks like the policy has really changed. Our country is still working with Japan?"
"Yes! They say it's to promote peace! In the future, he would release it internationally so that the Japanese would be able to recognize the mistakes they had made! The actress is also Japanese. Her name is something like 'Little Flower Papers' … "
Yun Jingqi could not help but laugh. "Mom, is there anyone else with this name?"
"How would I know? When I was watching foreign movies, it was still old Shanghai! Our country has been closed off for so many years. Who still knows foreign actors? Anyway, Mi Xaing 'er will take a look at the situation first. If everything is okay … it will be settled! "
Yun Jingqi nodded. "Yes! Mi Xaing 'er is really capable! If this movie really becomes popular, then Xiuzhu's career won't be a problem in the future. Her reputation for making clothes has spread to other countries. This is really a great thing! "
