"Ye Ning, what are you looking at?"
Li Jianhua followed Ye Ning's gaze and looked over.
Then he saw Li Changdong dancing with a girl from the director's side on the dance floor.
The two were talking and laughing, and were in an intimate state.
Li Jianhua's brows knitted tightly.
Almost everyone in the art troupe knew about Li Changdong's pursuit of Wang Xinxue, but now that Wang Xinxue is at a low point, he is so close to another girl?
"I don't know if Deputy Battalion Commander Li has ever visited Wang Xinxue." Li Jianhua's voice was a little deep.
Ye Ning calmly looked away. She originally thought that Li Changdong really liked Wang Xinxue, but now it seemed that she was looking up to Wang Xinxue too much.
"I'll go over and talk to Deputy Battalion Commander Li." Li Jianhua couldn't hold back his anger and stood up.
Ye Ning didn't expect that he would even have to take care of this kind of thing, so he could only say in his heart, "I wish you good luck."
Li Jianhua left, and as soon as Ye Ning calmed down, she realized someone was looking at her.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced over there, and sure enough, there were three men whispering something.
There was nothing wrong at first, but they glanced in her direction while talking, which made it obvious that they were talking about her.
Ye Ning picked up the water glass and took a sip as if nothing had happened.
One of them came towards her.
"Excuse me, are you in the instrumental band?"
Standing in front of him was a very young officer. His attitude was considered polite, but his appraising eyes made Ye Ning dislike him.
"Is there any problem?" Ye Ning did not stand up, but just raised his head and asked.
"I came to the art troupe to watch a performance before, and I seem to have seen you on the stage."
The other party seemed to want to confirm something and was just waiting for Ye Ning's answer.
Ye Ning was about to answer, but he urged him to ask again.
"So are you really in the instrumental band?"
Ye Ning was very familiar with the expression on the man's face.
That was questioning, questioning how there could be a girl with her image in the art troupe.
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
Ye Ning suddenly didn't want to answer, and even asked impatiently.
The man squeezed out the word "Chuan" between his brows, obviously not expecting her to be so rude.
"Comrade, why do you have such an attitude?"
"Is there any problem?" Ye Ning lowered his eyes and stopped looking at the other person at all.
The man was a little angry and just about to continue speaking, another voice sounded from behind him.
"What are you talking about?"
Ye Ning then raised his head again, looking past the man towards the direction where the voice came from. When he saw the person speaking clearly, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Jiang Xudong!
Why is he here?
In addition to Ye Ning seeing Jiang Xudong, the man also saw it.
However, his reaction was much more intense than Ye Ning's. His subconscious reaction was to stand at attention and salute.
The hand had already been raised halfway, and as if something had occurred to him, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"Hello. Why are you here?"
He stumbled and took the initiative to greet Jiang Xudong, not at all as strong as when he faced Ye Ning.
Jiang Xudong glanced at the man, "Do you know me?"
The man nodded stiffly.
Jiang Xudong was not surprised, "I came here to join in the fun. Did I disturb your chat?"
When he asked this question, he looked at Ye Ning.
The man quickly shook his head, "No, we're not very familiar with each other. Then you can chat, and I'll leave first."
Jiang Xudong had no intention of retaining him.
The man didn't dare to stay for a second longer, and walked back to the other two companions as quickly as possible, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Ye Ning had a panoramic view of the interaction between the two.
She had already noticed that Jiang Xudong's identity was unusual last time, but Jiang Xudong said that he was just an ordinary person.
"Mr. Jiang..."
"I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Jiang. I feel awkward calling you Sir." Jiang Xudong took the initiative to get closer to Ye Ning.
Ye Ning didn't care about the title, "Brother Jiang, are you coming to the party too?"
Although it was strange for him to attend the dance in this situation, it would be understandable if he had the same purpose as Li Changdong.
Jiang Xudong smiled and said, "I'm just joining in the fun."
Ye Ning concluded, "It seems that Brother Jiang likes fun."
Jiang Xudong was noncommittal, "Do you mind if I sit next to you?"
"Of course." Ye Ning agreed generously. He didn't even need a chair.
"Why didn't you go dancing?" Jiang Xudong looked at the lively dance floor. There were quite a few people here tonight.
Ye Ning replied: "I can't dance." He paused for a moment and then added: "Of course no one invited me."
Jiang Xudong naturally understood what she meant, "What a pity."
"It's not a pity." Ye Ning didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Jiang Xudong knew that she didn't understand what he meant, "I mean it's a pity that I can't move my legs, otherwise I would definitely invite you to dance tonight."
Ye Ning couldn't help but laugh. This man was quite interesting to get along with. Although he wasn't familiar with him, it wasn't awkward to chat with him.
"Brother Jiang, your legs..."
It wasn't her who gossiped, but the other party took the initiative to bring it up.
Jiang Xudong lowered his eyes to hide the flash of emotion in his eyes, then raised his head and replied with a smile: "I guess I won't have that opportunity in the future."
Ye Ning frowned, not expecting it to be the worst case scenario.
"sorry."
"It doesn't matter, I don't care anymore." Jiang Xudong said very coolly.
Ye Ning looked at his face thoughtfully.
For the first time, Jiang Xudong could not face someone's inquiry calmly. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart.
He coughed dryly and changed the subject.
"Just now I heard that person ask you if you were in the instrumental band. You seemed to be very resistant to answering."
He knew that she was not a rude person, and her attitude just now was definitely problematic.
"For those who have bad intentions, I didn't scold them directly. I was showing mercy to them." Ye Ning seemed to be teasing, but the coldness in his eyes was real.
"With bad intentions?" Jiang Xudong was shocked by her choice of words.
In such an occasion, she would actually use these people with evil intentions? !
Ye Ning completely guessed what he was thinking, "Brother Jiang, look at these people dancing."
Jiang Xudong followed her gaze and looked over.
There were many people on the dance floor, but he didn't understand what Ye Ning wanted him to see?
There was no need for him to ask, Ye Ning's voice had already sounded again.
"What do you think of the girls in our art troupe?"
Jiang Xudong hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "Very good."
"What's so good about it?"
Facing Ye Ning's questioning, Jiang Xudong could only answer carefully.
"Young, beautiful and full of energy."
Ye Ning smiled, "Yes. Everyone is young and beautiful. Otherwise, how could we be a member of the stage?"
Jiang Xudong became more and more confused as he listened, "What exactly do you want to say?"
