Chapter 499: Being a Fangirl

Bai Zhi left the bedroom, and Shen Qian was already dressed and washed up.

Seeing Bai Zhi come out with her eyes squinted and her hair disheveled, she said, "Are you not used to being woken up so early?"

Bai Zhi yawned, forcing herself to wake up. "Thank goodness, I'm awake."

Shen Qian glanced at her watch and gestured to her, "Go wash up. I'll take you to their canteen for lunch later. Platoon Leader Ye said we just need to register there."

"good."

After washing up, Bai Zhi tied her hair up, put on jeans and a beige cotton coat, and went out with Shen Qian.

Before leaving, Shen Qian reminded her, "Take your house key with you, or you won't be able to get in later."

"good."

After Shen Qian returned to the military base from Nancheng, she seemed to have opened up completely.

After all, they've returned to their home turf.

The two had just locked the door and gone downstairs when they ran into two women returning from grocery shopping.

Bai Zhi didn't know the other person, but it was clear they were neighbors.

She wanted to say hello, but Shen Qian pulled her away quickly.

They said they were afraid there wouldn't be any food left.

Two women carrying vegetable baskets brushed past Bai Zhi and her companions. They both stopped and turned to look at them.

The stylish woman with permed hair asked the short-haired woman next to her, who was dressed relatively simply,

Who are these two women?

The woman with short hair spoke up, "I saw them coming down from the second floor. I heard a few days ago that Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's wife was coming, so it must be them."

The woman with the perm scoffed, "Look at what you're saying, what do you mean 'them'? Does Deputy Battalion Commander Lu think he can marry two women?"

She watched the two figures disappear into the distance, wondering, "Which one do you think looks like Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's lover?"

The woman with short hair guessed, "It must be the one with short hair. The girl with the ponytail is probably her younger sister, who came to the military base with her older sister to broaden her horizons."

"But I heard that Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's wife was arranged by his family from the countryside. This short-haired girl has dark skin and a strong physique. I just noticed that she was wearing ankle boots, so she looks like a soldier."

The woman with the permed hair spoke of Lu Ye's rumored wife with a hint of disdain in her tone.

"So, you don't actually think that young girl is Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's wife, do you?" The short-haired goddess asked with a strange look. "Besides, that young girl is so fair-skinned and clean-cut; she doesn't look like she came from the countryside at all."

She concluded, "I think the one with the short hair is Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's wife. She and Lu Ye look quite well-matched."

The woman with the perm looked arrogant. "I don't think either of them looks like one. Everyone said his wife comes from the countryside."

"Listen to your tone! Are you still upset that Lu Ye was promoted to deputy battalion commander while your old Zhou wasn't?"

The short-haired woman reminded him seriously, "Let me tell you, Lu Ye risked his life for this promotion, you can't disagree."

The woman with the perm tossed her hair and pouted, "What's wrong with me? What good would it do if I complained?"

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, I think that short-haired, capable girl must be Lu Ye's lover."

“I bet it’s not. If I had to pick one, it would probably be that young girl.” The woman with the perm suggested, “Let’s make a bet. If I’m wrong, you have to catch me a chicken. I need to nourish my husband, Mr. Zhou.”

The short-haired woman said she was willing to bet, "Okay, if I win, I want your knitted vest. My sister complimented your outfit last time."

Bai Zhi had no idea that she and Shen Qian had become the subjects of a bet among the neighborhood ladies.

She followed Shen Qian to the army canteen. To be honest, having lived two lives, this was her first time visiting a military camp.

Because Shen Qian had identification, she had a smooth journey and entered the military canteen without any problems.

In addition, Ye Qingbai had already registered, so they would have breakfast for the two of them in the morning.

Some soldiers hadn't finished their meal when the arrival of the two beautiful women instantly attracted a lot of attention.

All the soldiers' eyes were immediately drawn to the two of them.

With a serious expression, Shen Qian led Bai Zhi directly to the window to get their food.

A curious and gossipy soldier whispered, "Wow, there are pretty girls here? Is the cultural troupe coming to perform for the troops?"

"What cultural troupe? Isn't that Dr. Shen?"

"That young girl must be a nurse."

The group whispered among themselves, when a comrade who looked like a squad leader snapped, "Hurry up and eat, training is about to start."

The soldiers were very well-mannered and disciplined, and dared not discuss it much, but their eyes kept glancing at Bai Zhi.

In their area, all the flies that fly in are male.

It's really rare to see such a beautiful young woman.

Look at it more often; it's good for your eyes.

Shen Qian got Bai Zhi her food, and the two found a corner to sit down and eat.

Shen Qian recommended it to her, "Eat up, let me tell you, the food on their group is amazing. I've been here several times and I've always eaten until I'm stuffed. It's so much better than the food at our hospital."

"I'll try it."

Bai Zhi took a bite of the steamed bun.

Yes, it tastes really good.

Her cheeks were bulging from eating, and she thought that if she had meal tickets, she would like to come here to eat every day.

After the two finished their meal, they came out of the canteen and saw a line of people marching in neat formation toward the regimental headquarters. Bai Zhi's eyes lit up.

So handsome.

I have to say, the soldiers are quite a sight to behold.

People say that all the handsome men have been handed over to the state, and that's absolutely true.

Shen Qian raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, her tone cool, "What are you looking at? Your eyeballs are about to pop out."

Bai Zhi coughed lightly and looked away. She nudged Shen Qian with her elbow and whispered, "Honestly, are you dazzled by all these handsome soldiers?"

"Is he handsome?" Shen Qian shook her head. "I don't think so."

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes. "You're so lucky, you don't even know how good you have it. You've had enough of honey that you're tired of it."

Shen Qian listened to her eloquent and well-structured rhetoric, and it seemed to make sense.

It's just aesthetic fatigue.

Other women consider men with eight-pack abs, broad shoulders, and narrow hips to be rare finds, and they might even blush with excitement upon seeing them.

But for her, a military doctor, it was commonplace.

Nothing unusual.

In any case, in her eyes, they were all just bodies.

She warned Bai Zhi, "Don't get infatuated. Don't forget you're a married woman. Your husband Lu Ye would be furious if he saw you like this."

Bai Zhi squinted at the row of soldiers walking out of the camp gate and retorted, "Who's being infatuated? I'm just appreciating things, okay? People will take a second look at anything beautiful. I believe Lu Ye can understand me."

Shen Qian scoffed, "Understand my foot! If he were surrounded by a bunch of pretty girls and couldn't take his eyes off them like you, would you be happy?"

"Okay, okay, I won't watch it anymore."

There will be plenty of time and opportunities to appreciate these long legs in the future.

The two strolled back to the family compound. As soon as they entered the compound, they ran into the short-haired woman they had passed by that morning. She was hanging clothes out to dry in the yard.
