On the first New Year's Eve when the war eased, the entire outer city became lively.
This is especially true in the military compound.
Bai Lingyu closed the curtains and didn't even want to watch the fireworks outside the window.
It was the Chinese New Year, and his comrades had no time to pay attention to him. They were all busy reuniting with their relatives.
"Major General, haven't you even prepared dumplings? You have to eat dumplings during the New Year." Adjutant Lin took out the prepared dumpling fillings and borrowed the dough from Colonel Liu next door, sighing.
"Eat dumplings, what kind of dumplings? People who celebrate the New Year won't come back."
Bai Lingyu muttered for a while, then continued to drink wine, and then said after a while:
"By the way, Xiao Lin, didn't Colonel Liu's daughter give you a small box of dumplings today? They're also shrimp dumplings. After the ocean is polluted, seafood becomes hard to come by. Only a small area of the inland sea salt lake produces it. Why don't you take it? ?”
Adjutant Lin was silent for a while, and when Bai Lingyu asked in confusion, he hesitated and said, "I don't want to take her dumplings."
"It's just a dumpling. Far relatives are not as good as close neighbors."
Bai Lingyu looked back at the adjutant who pursed his lips, and finally realized something was wrong:
"Years ago, I heard Lao Liu say that her girl fell in love with someone and couldn't catch up with him. He said it in front of me for a long time, and I was wondering who the 'bad boy with no vision' he was talking about was. It’s none of my business again, now think about it…is it you?”
Adjutant Lin didn't speak, just stirred the stuffing in silence.
Adjutant Lin's full name is Lin Shuyuan. He has a very elegant name, and his appearance is somewhat bookish. His eyebrows are clean and gentle. He stands out among a bunch of rough people. What's more, he is very talented and has a lot of talent in command.
When the war eased, Bai Lingyu wanted to transfer him from the adjutant position to the command position. From observing and learning all the time to actual combat, and being able to give more guidance by himself, it can be said that the future is bright.
Young and handsome, emotionally stable, with a bright future.
Still single.
It's really a hot cake. Every time he goes to and from the military compound, his family members keep an eye on him.
"Lao Liu's daughter is not bad, she has a clerical job, and she has a good personality."
Bai Lingyu was belatedly aware of his comrade's hints. Since there was no topic now, he chatted a few more words: "If you also like it, be more active and take the initiative."
"I... have a sweetheart." Lin Shuyuan replied dully.
Bai Lingyu paused and suddenly thought of some rumors he had heard.
Although the recruitment standards have been relaxed during special periods, the recruits in the team still muttered:
Lin Shuyuan has pierced ears.
For this reason, a male soldier confessed to him, and then he was punched to the ground by this seemingly frail young man. His movements were so clean that half of his teeth were broken.
"Oh, I have a sweetheart."
Bai Lingyu didn't take the liberty to ask "Is he a boy or a girl?", he just cleared his throat and said:
"How come I've never seen him before? You're not of such a temper that you don't even take action, are you? Why are you blushing? What's there to be blushing about... Just pursue whoever you like, otherwise you won't have a chance in the future and you will only regret it."
After he finished speaking, he paused and took another sip of wine.
Lin Shuyuan whispered: "There will be no results."
"If you don't try, how will you know if there will be any results? You can only know the results if you speak out." Bai Lingyu raised his glass and said cheerfully, "Chasing! Your immediate boss supports you! I will provide you with love funds!"
"..."
Lin Shuyuan ignored him and continued kneading the dough.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rings.
Bai Lingyu held the wine glass and tilted his head in confusion: "Who is this late at night? Coming to deliver dumplings to me?"
I don’t know, but I can’t let the chief do the work.
Lin Shuyuan simply washed his hands and opened the door, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Bai Shu stood outside the door, glanced at him lightly, and handed over the insulated food box he was holding.
It’s a New Year’s Eve dinner packed directly from the hotel.
Lin Shuyuan caught it instinctively, and his expression was clearly stunned.
Bai Zhu hit Xixue that fell on his shoulder, and finally said indifferently in the other person's sight: "Do you know me?"
Lin Shuyuan tilted his head as if startled, blinked and asked gently: "Excuse me, are you okay?"
stupid.
They already have my food box, and they’re still asking.
Perhaps Bai Shu's eyes were too complicated, so Adjutant Lin said awkwardly: "Ah, are you here to see Major General Bai to deliver New Year's Eve dinner? The Major General is inside, and I need to ask which family you are from first."
"Who is coming?"
After opening the door and still not coming back, Bai Lingyu stood up and came over, then looked at Bai Shu.
He was stunned for a while, then suddenly came to his senses in the familiar and unique pair of pale blue eyes. He suspected that he had drunk too much and said hesitantly:
"...Xiao, Xiao Shu?"
"Um."
Bai Shu brushed off the snowflakes on his shoulders again and said in a calm tone: "Three of you are piled at the door. Are you planning to let me chat in the snow?"
Bai Lingyu suddenly woke up and immediately pulled the adjutant who was blocking the way away, and then he also got out of the way: "Come in, come in."
Lin Shuyuan: "..."
·
Baizhu sat on the sofa, and Bo Lingyu sat opposite. Lin Shuyuan very wisely entered the kitchen with an insulated food box, leaving room for the two of them to chat.
Restless.
Bai Lingyu felt that he had to take a preemptive strike and asked Bai Shu why he had not returned home for ten years, but his intuition warned him not to talk nonsense.
After a long silence, Bai Zhu put down the water glass and finally spoke:
"What are you going to do about Li Lingqing's matter?"
Bai Lingyu paused, but did not ask why Bai Shu knew about this matter. He said frankly:
"I have been preparing for this day in my crazy pursuit of power over the years. I will delay it first, and then release some power when it is almost done. It doesn't matter and will not affect the overall situation."
"Delegate power?" Bai Zhu sneered, "If you let go once, the council will swallow it up. If you dare to take one step back, the council will force you to take ten steps back."
"Otherwise, if you don't delegate power, are you going to really make trouble?" Bai Lingyu felt that the atmosphere of the conversation was starting to be wrong, but he still frowned and said, "Defense period. What is detente period? Can the empire withstand civil strife? ?”
"Then what they say is what it is?" Baizhu sneered coldly, "Why do you live like a pair of pants? You carry all the farts of others."
This is too rough.
Bai Lingyu's eyebrows twitched, and finally he couldn't help but glare at Bai Shu: "What did you say?"
"It's not a nice thing to say. You have to listen to it a second time." Baizhu raised his legs on the table unceremoniously and said what he said in a rushed tone without any good tone. "It's really idle."
"You little bastard, you're going to rebel!" Bai Lingyu was furious. No matter what he thought before, he just wanted to kick Baizhu out. "Did you talk to your father and me like this?!"
"How involved were you in [Alice's] matter?"
Bai Zhu asked abruptly, his eyes calm.
Bai Lingyu's anger subsided immediately, as if someone poured a basin of cold water on his head, and even the hairs on his back stood up.
