Chapter 10
He Xiaobao just heard Lin Shiheng talking and found someone in his seat. He had just been frightened. He didn’t dare to make a sound even though he was curious. He stood beside He Xuezhu neatly and fanned his sister with a book in his hand.
It is useless for him not to speak. Lin Shiheng said he was just a kid. Zhang Yanming couldn’t snatch this kid; Xiaobao’s seat. Even if he had always refused to give way to anyone in the army, he had to stand up slowly with a straight face.
Zhang Yanming did not think that Lin Shiheng could really see him standing like this. After all, this commoner had always given way for him before, didn’t he?
Unfortunately, as soon as his idea came, the handsome man sitting opposite him urged, “Xiaobao, sit back. I’ll fan your sister.”
He Xiaobao sat back obediently.
Zhang Yanming’s heart is immediately stifled. Not to mention that he is now a Deputy Commander. He has never really suffered from any hardship since he was a child. He didn’t sleep well last night. Today, he argued with Miao Xing’s brother. In addition, these two legs had not stopped even once. No matter how respectable he looked on the outside, Zhang Yanming is still the spoiled young man deep inside. At the moment, his legs are so sore that he can hardly stand.
He originally thought that Lin Shiheng would understand the current situation and give up his seat, but he wouldn’t even look at Yanming’s face.
Zhang Yanming speculated that Lin Shiheng still had a grudge because of Miao Xing. After all, his attitude had changed dramatically since then.
The thought that this behavior was just the anger of a loser, made him feel a little better.
He wasn’t happy for long. Lin Shiheng was already saying, “Deputy Zhang, did you not buy seats? Why don’t you lean against our seats, so we can take care of each other…”
Zhang Yanming is a hundred percent reluctant.
How could he be willing to let such a messy self, stand in front of his rival for a long time?
Just before he refused, Miao Xing agreed and put down the two large bags in her hand and thanked Lin Shiheng with gratitude: “Shiheng, thank you so much. Then we’ll rest here.”
Zhang Yanming’s ugly face grew more and more ashen.
Miao Xing has always been considerate enough watch out for his dignity. In front of Lin Shiheng, why did she change all of a sudden?
She knows clearly that he and Lin Shiheng are not compatible. What is she thinking? Is she still thinking of Lin Shiheng?
Granted that Zhang Yanming didn’t confirm his relationship with Miao Xing, even when he watched Miao Xing court Lin Shiheng, but he only thought it was Lin Shiheng’s fault. But now Miao Xing is his woman and made contact with Lin Shiheng. Coupled with the fact that the Miao Xing family and brother gave him a bad impression, Zhang Yanming, who used to boast that he loved Miao Xing and would never blame her, began to feel uncomfortable.
Miao Xing didn’t notice Zhang Yanming ‘s ugly expression at all. To be exact; she noticed, but didn’t take it seriously. When did Zhang Yanming ever had a good expression on since they set foot on their way back to Miao Xing ‘s hometown?
He was so perfunctory to her parents when he was at her home. Telling her younger brother to buy tickets just like a young master ordering a servant. Later on, on the way to catch the train, he didn’t know how to help her carry things.
Two bags of luggage were carried by Miao Xing alone. Along the way, her tired wrists weakened, and she wanted Zhang Yanming to help her carry them. The man actually said to throw them away, but Miao Xing was reluctant to throw them away. She could only take them to the train herself.
She felt uncomfortable and reached her boiling point when she saw Lin Shiheng sitting in his seat, fresh, handsome and gentle.
Originally, Miao Xing’s goal was not Zhang Yanming but the gentle Commander Lin Shiheng. It was Zhang Yanming who insisted on pestering her and pressed her to give up Lin Shiheng when he was in a coma.
As a result, she committed herself to Zhang Yanming. And now, this person treated her this way.
Without the thrill of stealing someone’s woman, Zhang Yanming; who used to be domineering and handsome in her eyes, had lost all his advantage.
She used to like the chivalrous him, but when he refused to help her carry things, it turned into irritability and disgust.
At this moment, Miao Xing looks at the man who is gently helping fan the woman beside him. Her heart filled with a regret.
If it was Shiheng, he would have helped her carry things without waiting for her to speak.
“Umm…”
He Xuezhu was dizzy as the train continued to move forward. She closed her eyes uncomfortably and whispered in her husband’s ear that she wanted to go to the toilet.
“I’ll accompany you.”
Lin Shiheng immediately stood up and put his bag on his seat. He told He Xiaobao, “Xiaobao, I’m going to the toilet with Xuezhu, you watch the seats.”
Miao Xing’s eyes flashed at He Xuezhu; who looked pale and weak. She smiled gently and said, “Shiheng, I happen to want to go too. Shall I accompany her?”
“No need.”
Lin Shiheng’s attitude is still gentle, but he avoided the hand Miao Xing stretch out to take his wife’s shoulder in a guarding gesture. “I’m worried about her.”
It’s just going to the toilet. Besides, He Xuezhu looks okay and her skin and body are so ordinary. What’s to worry about? Miao Xing thought disdainfully. The bottom of her heart was filled with jealousy. Zhang Yanming would never have such a concern for her.
The more she compares it, the more regretful Miao Xing felt about doing something so intimate with Zhang Yanming. She should have refused it from the very beginning. If Shiheng hadn’t heard it, maybe they would have been together long ago.
Undoubtedly, at that time, Shiheng was already a little soft to her.
That’s right!
Miao Xing ‘s eyes suddenly lit up. There was an idea in her head.
Shiheng, he didn’t deliberately tell her, did he?
After all, when they met, although she knew that Lin Shiheng had a wife in his hometown, she had never heard of it. At that time, Miao Xing pretended to have unintentionally inquired when she saw Lin Shiheng’s subordinates in the hospital. No one in their army knew that Lin Shiheng had a wife in his hometown.
If Lin Shiheng was really as considerate as he was just shown, how could he never mention a word about his wife in the army?
He must still be thinking about her, but he was afraid because Zhang Yanming was there. So, he had to take good care of his wife.
The more Miao Xing thinks about it, the more she thinks this was the case. When she thought of Lin Shiheng still thinking of herself, her heart became more and more fervent.
If she lives happily with Zhang Yanming, seeing Lin Shiheng would at most be a temporary grievance. But in reality, Zhang Yanming is like a little child, let alone taking care of her, Miao Xing not taking care of him was already a good thing.
Regardless of Zhang Yanming’s position that’s lower than Lin Shiheng. He refused to accommodate her family, Miao Xing felt a sense of crisis.
In the past, if there was no better choice, it would be enough. Now that Lin Shiheng still remembers her, the hope in Miao Xing’s heart is alive.
She only agreed to be with Zhang Yanming right now, and the two have not yet received their marriage license. However, the He Xuezhu can’t compare with her anywhere, and Xuezhu’s character seems to be a type that won’t please people.
Perhaps, she can take advantage of this opportunity to make Shiheng interested in her again.
As for Zhang Yanming …
If she does not succeed, with Lin Shiheng’s character, he certainly won’t tell anyone. If she succeeds, a Commander vs a Deputy Commander, even if Zhang Yanming is refuse to accept it, he can only swallow the loss.
When Miao Xing’s abacus was crackling, Lin Shiheng refused to give her any opportunity at all. The train went straight on until it reached the city where the army base was located. Miao Xing could not get a word in with Lin Shiheng at all.
Even He Xuezhu kept her eyes closed on his husband’s shoulder because she was not well, except eating and drinking. Miao Xing, who watched, scolded the sickly invalid in her heart.
Her eyes turned to He Xiaobao.
Young and clever, and He Xuezhu’s younger brother. If she coaxed him a bit, it should be able to get good results, right?
He Xiaobao was looking at the train that was slowly stopping. Don’t think his anger was okay after all that happened. He couldn’t wait for the train to stop and find a public phone to call his mother back home.
This Third-Sister was most afraid of Mother. If he asked Mother to tell third-sister to let him go home. If her husband refused to let him go, he would ask her to tell him.
As soon as the train car stopped, He Xiaobao stood up happily, like a bird trying to escape from its cage. As soon as he got up, there was a devilish voice from his brother-in-law: “Xiaobao, carry our things on your back.”
He Xiaobao’s expression was bitter, but quickly changed into a clever expression. He obediently carried their bags on his shoulders. Because he was still in the care of his brother-in-law, he walked behind He Xuezhu, who was supported by Lin Shiheng, with heavy bags on his back and was careful not to let others touch her.
Endure!
He can bear it!
Endure to get out of the train, when mother is called, he won’t have to be afraid anymore!
He Xiaobao struggled. In Miao Xing’s and Zhang Yanming’s eyes, he seemed to be a diligent and sensible young man who took care of his sister. Zhang Yanming, compared him with Miao Xing’s brother, and felt discomfort. He strode into the crowd and got out first. Only Miao Xing struggled to carry two bags and watched what she had to do for her nominal husband. The husband didn’t even turn his head back, she gritted her teeth secretly.
She tried to breathe out, and her voice gently cried out to the young man ahead: “Xiaobao, Xiaobao…”
He Xiaobao was sweating heavily, and when he heard someone calling him, he turned to his follower questioningly.
Miao Xing’s hair was a little messy, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were shy and embarrassed, and her teeth bit her lips gently for several seconds before she gently said, “Sister Miao can’t carry her luggage. Can you help me?”
She used this tactic on the train back home. As long as he was a man, he would surely ask to do so himself…
“I can’t carry it either. I also want you to help me with it.”
He Xiaobao took one inexplicable look at the woman who had been embarrassed to ask him for help since the first meeting. He carried his luggage back up and turned to continue chasing his sister and brother-in-law.
He Xiaobao, who grew up in a family of ‘girls are grass, and boys are treasures’, didn’t feel anything when he refused. He turned his head and left Miao Xing behind, leaving only the blue-faced woman standing in the crowd out of breath.
After getting off the train, He Xiaobao seemed to follow his sister and brother-in-law, when in fact, his eyes were wandering around. Finally, he found a public phone.
Great!
He can call home for help!
He Xiaobao was about to walk over. As soon as he turned, his nape felt cold. He was picked up by Lin Shiheng as if he were carrying a baby chicken.
In one go he took two steps, stuff him into the car, and threw their bags in.
Lin Shiheng smiled and touched the back of the seat, really close to his face. He looked at his wife and brother-in-law’s face full of horror. “Xiaobao, brother-in-law has just asked Deputy Zhang’s to take good care of you. His promises were pleasant. ”
“You can rest assured that he will take good care of you in the future.”
“By the way, there is no place to keep your money in the army. Just now brother-in-law has collected all your money. It’s all here with me, and so is the allowance. I will give it to you when we go back together.”
“Later, if you want to make a call, come to me directly. I’ll supervise your call.”
After that, the handsome man smiled gently. “Of course, if you don’t want to, brother-in-law will give it back to you now.”
As he spoke, his slender hand, which gently fell on the top of Xiaobao’s head, tightened.
Trembling and stiff, He Xiaobao spoke, “I would like to. Yeah…”
When Lin Shiheng’s hand left, he almost felt relieved because he felt he was going to be crushed. His heart thumped and he looked at his brother-in-law, who was sitting in the co-driver’s seat. Xiaobao was trying to comfort himself.
Although the money was gone and mother couldn’t be called, but for better or for worse, brother-in-law was able to take care of him. And even greeted Deputy Commander Zhang for him.
With the care of Deputy Zhang, life in the army should also be much easier.
If brother-in-law can trust him, their relationship should be good.
Thinking like this, his in the mind also had a little comfort.
Zhang Yanming and Miao Xing also got on the bus. Miao Xing struggled to put down the two large bags and found that the always frowning; Zhang Yang, was in a good mood. She asked curiously.
“Yanming, why do you look so happy?”
“It’s nothing.”
Zhang Yanming gave a perfunctory reply and didn’t intend to tell Miao Xing about Lin Shiheng coming to him for something.
Oh, this fool, unexpectedly trusted him.
However, since Lin Shiheng trusted him, then this He Xiaobao, must be very important in his heart.
Can’t teach Lin Shiheng a lesson, why can’t he teach the child?
In the army, naturally Zhang Yanming couldn’t do too much. But for such a small soldier, there are some training methods he could dish out.
Lin Shiheng wouldn’t be able to say anything about his aboveboard training.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yanming looked up with pride.
He couldn’t wait for Lin Shiheng to see his wife’s brother in agony.
