Chapter 248: Chapter 187: Farewell Drink_2

I’m not going to lie to you, I’ve had feelings for him for many years. I liked him even when he was with his ex-fiancée, but back then I was too young, and he was committed to someone else, so I had no choice but to bury these feelings in my heart.

When he broke up with his fiancée, I didn’t want to take advantage of him while he was vulnerable. Later on, it was he who couldn’t move on. Knowing my place, I didn’t bother him.

Since the beginning of this year, his mood has finally improved. Moreover, I happen to resemble his ex-fiancée somewhat, so I figured, maybe it’s time for him to accept me.

But just my luck, now you come out of nowhere and stand in my way, Chuxia. I don’t care if you’ve taken a liking to him or not, but I must tell you the truth: with your kind of family background, the Zhou family will never consider you.

Rather than ending up humiliated, it’s better to let go now. I promise you, from here on out, if there’s anything you need my help with, I’ll do everything in my power to assist. Okay?

Chuxia looked at Rao Xue with an amused gaze, "So what you’re saying is, you look like the Regimental Commander’s ex-fiancée, and since he hasn’t gotten over her, you’re willing to step up to the plate, right?"

"Right!"

"Then go for it."

"What about you?"

"Me? Why do you care?" Chuxia raised her eyebrows at her, "What’s it to me what you two do?"

"Does that mean you’ll stay away from the Commander from now on?"

"No!"

"Then you..." Rao Xue’s complexion grew darker as she spoke, finding Chuxia to be quite a handful. How could this unsophisticated country girl be so clueless?

"I don’t want to repeat myself. Go after whoever you like; just don’t bother me!" Chuxia frowned at her, "If you can make Commander Zhou stop seeing me from now on, then I’ll thank you!"

"You’re saying..."

Chuxia interrupted her, "I’m leaving the A Corps tomorrow, do you have any concerns?"

Rao Xue suddenly slapped her forehead. How could she have forgotten that? When she saw the Commander keep Chuxia behind last time, she was almost driven mad, rushing to confront her and warn her to stay away from the Commander. She overlooked the fact that Chuxia was reporting to Unit 401 tomorrow. Even if she wanted to be near the Commander, it would be impossible.

Having known the Commander over the years and learning about his temperament through her sister, waiting for him to chase a girl would be like waiting for the sun to rise in the west.

But she was the one staying at the A Corps—’a pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first’—why was she agonizing over this? With this thought, Rao Xue no longer paid attention to Chuxia and turned to head back to the dormitory of the fourth squad.

Watching her leave, Chuxia was left speechless.

To think that this violent man had such a devoted fan. If you count back, hasn’t she liked him for six or seven years? Are kids these days this precocious?

When Chuxia got back to her dormitory, naturally there was a flurry of questions concerning why the Commander had kept her behind. Everyone was very curious.

"It’s nothing. Teacher Song asked him to let me know what to bring over tomorrow."

Hearing this, everyone wore looks of sudden realization—it made sense. How could the Regimental Commander have anything to do with Chuxia? It was just a request from someone else, and all fell into place.

Even Liu Meijun, who was very close to Chuxia, didn’t suspect anything. After all, the likelihood of anything happening between a rural female soldier and the Commander was exceedingly low.

Yang Xiaoli, who knew the details, smiled at Chuxia and pulled her to sit next to her, "We’re all going our separate ways tomorrow. Everyone has a performance, so you better think about what you’re going to do."

Qiao Ningyi laughed, "Does she need to think about it? She sings so well, she should sing a few more songs for everyone."

Yuan Mengmeng couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "Lin Chuxia, I’ve realized you really are a fool. The arts troupe is such a good place, and you just give it up—what’s in your head?"

Chuxia glanced at her dismissively, "Yuan Mengmeng, I’ve realized you’re not comfortable unless you’re putting someone down—what’s in your head?"

Yuan Mengmeng snorted and turned her head away.

Qiao Ningyi sighed, "Everyone’s going to be separated tomorrow, is this really necessary?"

Yuan Mengmeng retorted defiantly, "I’m being kind. I feel sorry for her. Look at her lousy attitude!"

Chuxia glared at her, "Would it kill you to speak nicely?"

"Hey, everyone, look what I’ve got!" Lin Mengran pushed open the door, proudly lifting the bottle in her hand. Qu Xiaojing followed behind her with a look of resignation.

"Baijiu?" Qiao Ningyi stared at her surprised, "Where did you get this liquor from?"
