Hello, Comrade. I'm Here to Marry You!

"He’s wonderful. Don’t be fooled when he acts fierce sometimes. He’s very good to me," Su Zhaozhao said to Lin Shumo with a beaming smile.

At first, she was intimidated by Xie Huaizheng’s sternness too, but after getting to know him, she discovered he was all bark and no bite.

After he truly fell in love with her, he wouldn’t even let her do chores.

How could she not love a man like Xie Huaizheng?

Lin Shumo’s gaze fell on the wedding candy. He could almost imagine how much joy must have been on Su Zhaozhao’s face when she was wrapping them.

"So, are you living with Xie Huaizheng now?" Lin Shumo asked.

"Yes. He applied for housing in the military region’s compound, and we’ve already moved in."

"Congratulations, Zhaozhao," Lin Shumo said with a smile.

His gaze fell on Su Zhaozhao’s face. The girl was as beautiful as ever, perhaps even more so than before.

Because when she smiled, her eyes seemed to shine.

You could tell at a glance that she was a woman cherished in her marriage.

Lin Shumo did his best to suppress the bitterness in his heart, his lips still curved in a gentle smile. "So, when are you inviting us to the wedding banquet?"

Su Zhaozhao hadn’t really thought about that.

She had thought before that if she got married, it would be best not to hold a banquet.

And after getting her marriage certificate with Xie Huaizheng here, she had never considered holding one either.

For one, she thought it was too much trouble. For another, she didn’t know most of the people here. If they really held a banquet, she’d probably only be able to fill a single table with her own guests.

But Xie Huaizheng probably knew a lot of people, and it would be a hassle if they forgot to invite someone.

That’s why when Xie Huaizheng had asked her if she wanted to hold a banquet, Su Zhaozhao had said no.

"We probably won’t be having a banquet," Su Zhaozhao told Lin Shumo.

"I see... In any case, Zhaozhao, congratulations," Lin Shumo said politely.

Su Zhaozhao then said goodbye to him.

She still had to find Fu Yuling and give her some wedding candy.

Soon, she found Fu Yuling and gave her the candy. Fu Yuling was surprised and delighted. "Zhaozhao, you’re married? So soon! I thought you’d wait a few more years."

Fu Yuling hadn’t expected someone as young and beautiful as Su Zhaozhao to choose to marry so quickly.

"Well, once you’ve met the right person, there’s no reason to wait."

"Congratulations!" Fu Yuling also knew that Su Zhaozhao’s partner was Xie Huaizheng, a man whose name was legendary throughout the Northwest Military Region.

With his handsome face and iron-fisted methods, he was known as King Yan in the barracks.

She also hadn’t expected that such a man, chased after by all the girls in the song and dance troupe, would end up marrying Su Zhaozhao.

’But Su Zhaozhao deserves him. She’s so beautiful, has a great personality, and is very capable.’

’Only a man like Xie Huaizheng is worthy of her, right?’

Fu Yuling thought of Lin Shumo, and her heart couldn’t help but ache a little.

"Did you go see Doctor Lin?"

"Yes, I just went to give him some wedding candy."

"What did he say?" Fu Yuling was very curious, because she could tell that Lin Shumo probably had feelings for Su Zhaozhao.

Otherwise, why would a man like him, who never ate with anyone—especially not female comrades—have been so warm toward Su Zhaozhao back then?

"He congratulated me, but he seemed a little unhappy." Su Zhaozhao thought for a moment, then asked Fu Yuling, "Do you all think I shouldn’t have gotten married so quickly?"

Hearing this, Fu Yuling immediately shook her head. "No, no! I think it’s great you’re married now. Camp Commander Xie is so outstanding, and so many women have their eyes on him. Getting married is a good way to put an end to their fantasies."

Su Zhaozhao smiled at Fu Yuling. "I think so too."

"I have to go. I still need to give a share to Director Zhang."

"Okay."

After Su Zhaozhao left, Fu Yuling thought about Lin Shumo, who was probably moping in his office right now, and she couldn’t help but sigh.

The one he likes doesn’t like him back, and the one who likes him? He doesn’t like her.

’As expected, you can’t have the best of both worlds.’

’But this is the perfect chance for me to comfort him!’

After work, Fu Yuling deliberately waited for Lin Shumo at the hospital entrance.

When Lin Shumo came out of the building, Fu Yuling immediately greeted him, "Doctor Lin."

Lin Shumo nodded at her, offering a gentle yet polite smile. "Nurse Xiao Fu."

"Zhaozhao came to give me wedding candy today. She gave you some too, right?" Fu Yuling thought for a moment and decided it was best to feign ignorance.

"She did." The thought of it made it hard for Lin Shumo’s heart to find peace.

’In the end, was it just not meant to be?’

They had only met because she was on her way to find her fiancé. Her ultimate goal had always been to marry Xie Huaizhen.

"I think it’s all so sudden," Fu Yuling said with a smile. "I used to think Zhaozhao was just here to visit her fiancé, but I never expected her to go and get married right away."

"Yes, it is very sudden." Lin Shumo looked at the sky in the distance, where the stars were bright and the moon was a crescent.

But the tranquil, starry sky couldn’t calm his heart.

’Besides, what right do I have to keep talking with Su Zhaozhao anymore?’

"Are you... very sad?" Fu Yuling asked, watching Lin Shumo.

Lin Shumo froze for a moment. Meeting the girl’s curious eyes, he suppressed his emotions and said to Fu Yuling, "No."

’I won’t tell anyone about this. I’ll just keep it in my heart.’

’If I told anyone, it would only subject Su Zhaozhao to needless gossip.’

’A young woman’s reputation must be protected. Even though Su Zhaozhao is already married, it’s still the same in my eyes.’

When Fu Yuling saw that Lin Shumo was unwilling to tell her, she couldn’t help but sigh.

"Can we have dinner together? Ugh, I was just thinking... with Zhaozhao getting married, I feel both happy and sad."

In truth, this was also an opportunity she wanted to use to get closer to Lin Shumo.

She had been trying to create opportunities to get closer to Lin Shumo for a while now, but every attempt had ended in failure.

’Now that I know Su Zhaozhao is married, can I finally have a meal with Lin Shumo?’

Who would have known that a voice would suddenly come from the side? "Shumo, I’m here. And this is?"

Fu Yuling turned her head and saw a girl with delicate features, as fresh and lovely as a lotus emerging from water.

This girl was also very beautiful. Unlike Su Zhaozhao’s radiant and dazzling beauty, hers was more reserved and serene, yet full of grace.

Like a lotus flower.

Fu Yuling was simply surprised. ’It looks like I have a lot of competition.’

"Qing Ran." Lin Shumo smiled at Gu Qingran. "This is one of the nurses from our hospital."

Gu Qingran looked at Fu Yuling with suspicion. ’This woman is obviously interested in Lin Shumo.’

’But Lin Shumo likes me. How could he possibly be interested in such an ordinary-looking girl?’

She immediately walked up and took Lin Shumo’s arm. "Let’s go get dinner."
