Chapter 533: Chapter 0533: Red Fluff’s Night Run 1_1

The commander and Su Junlin were smiling at Bai Xue, habitually assuming that she would not refuse.

In the military, most of the officers were older than the female soldiers. It was rare to find someone of the same age, and no female soldier had ever resisted an arranged match.

So they weren’t worried.

Even Xibao, sitting on the commander’s arm, was blinking her big eyes curiously at Bai Xue. Her eyes were spinning rapidly as if to say this person was not as white as mom, not as beautiful as mom, not as fragrant and soft as mom.

Bai Xue felt annoyed. Why could Feng Qingxue marry the young, handsome and remarkable Lu Jiang while she was expected to marry a playboy or an old man? She was a good singer and dancer and had been praised many times. Even the leaders had invited her to dance. What did Feng Qingxue have? Wasn’t she just a peasant woman? Regardless of her looks, she was still just a village girl.

"I... esteemed Commander, esteemed Division Commander, I... feel this is sudden, I need some time to consider!" Bai Xue wanted to refuse but didn’t dare. She didn’t have the courage to, so she hedged to buy herself some time and hoped to seek her aunt’s help.

"That’s fine! I understand it’s sudden, and it will take some time for you two to leave the military area. After all, only a small portion of the leaders and soldiers have seen you perform today. There are still many who haven’t seen it." The commander didn’t find it peculiar. Girls usually are reserved and seldom agree right away. It’s common for them to take some time to think it over.

Having agreed to Bai Xue’s request, the commander pointed at Su Junlin with one hand and laughed, "Even though Division Commander Su is a bit older, older people tend to be more considerate! His salary, allowances, and benefits are not low, he won’t let you suffer in life. The army cares a lot about Commander Su’s family life and has always been selecting suitable candidates. No one can be perfect, but when we saw you today, we knew you were the one. Comrade Bai Xue, the army values you highly and hopes you will carefully consider. Age and status are not a problem!"

Bai Xue felt a chill in her heart and nodded hastily, "Rest assured, esteemed Commander, I will definitely think about it carefully, I definitely will!"

Think about what?

She didn’t want to marry an old man! She wanted to marry the handsome, dignified, and uniquely mature Lu Jiang!

Why wouldn’t the army play matchmaker for her and Lu Jiang? Instead, they were promoting Su Junlin! Was Su Junlin comparable to Lu Jiang? Yes, he was comparable in age and rank, but with Lu Jiang’s age and abilities, he would soon become the new Division Commander!

Wasn’t it like this during the Anti-Japanese War? Life for soldiers was hard and conditions were harsh, with wives burdened with the responsibility of looking after old and young at home and unable to accompany the troops. The organization would arrange "revolutionary companions" for the wartime officers to solve their marriage and family needs. Wasn’t Su Junshu’s current wife such a "revolutionary companion"? His original wife was still alive and well back at home!

Why couldn’t she get what she wanted when it came to her turn? Why? Why?

Unable to help herself, Bai Xue questioned aloud in Battalion Commander Bai’s room, earning herself a slap from Battalion Commander Bai.

After the resounding slap, Battalion Commander Bai coldly said, "Are you awake now?"

Bai Xue was stunned, holding her face, staring blankly at her aunt. This was the first time her aunt had hit her, "Aunt, did you slap me?"

"Yes, I slapped you. I wanted to wake you up, get you out of your fantasies!" Battalion Commander Bai did not mince words. "The Anti-Japanese War was the Anti-Japanese War, can you compare the current situation with the pre-war situation?"
