Chapter 2070: Chapter 2088: Matchmaking
She tilted her neck, glancing at Su Hai with eyes full of wild ferocity. If she had still possessed her previous cold, glamorous, and inherently aggressive face, the effect would have been entirely different.
However, now she was just an eighteen-year-old little girl with a bit of baby fat. Such a gaze only made people laugh. It made her seem cute, soft, and tender, making people want to hold her tight and give her a good rub and pinch.
Su Hai slightly lowered his eyes, his hands at his sides, with the thumbs gently rubbing against each other. The movement was very subtle, showing no sign of anything unusual on the surface.
Shen Zian resisted the urge to kick Shen Feihu, turned around, and left with great strides, his straight and tall back left behind a group of dumbfounded people. Kong Jie blushed with pride in his heart.
Hahaha... Truly worthy of being a part of the Third Regiment’s family, they’re impressive and bold enough!
Indeed! It made him look good.
Shen Weixing was quite frightened, his worries were realized, and his niece had indeed caused trouble. He regretted not stepping in earlier and hoped that the bigwigs wouldn’t hold it against them.
Xue Hongxing noticed his worry, quietly comforting him, "Don’t worry! Your niece is just a little girl; the commanders won’t mind." Moreover, he could tell that the commander seemed to like the little girl quite a bit.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called her over, spoken so much, and still not been angry after seeing her attitude.
"Really?"
"Definitely true," Xue Hongxing nodded. "Your niece is still young! Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I think your niece is pretty good, bold yet methodical." She might have seemed indifferent to the commander just now, but she didn’t overdo it.
This kind of balance is not something an ordinary rural wild girl would have.
Xue Hongxing thought of the rumors about Shen An he had heard before and compared them with what he just saw; they were completely different. He thought to himself that rumors must be unreliable; clearly a smart and pretty girl, yet people spoke so badly of her.
"By the way, your niece is here looking for a match, right?" Xue Hongxing asked quietly.
"Well..." Shen Weixing felt extremely embarrassed; his family was just being ridiculous, and there wasn’t much he could do to stop it. Admitting it felt humiliating, but since the captain knew about his family situation, there was nothing to hide from an old comrade, so he nodded.
"Sorry to make you laugh."
"What’s there to laugh about!" Xue Hongxing was already used to such matters; finding a match is only natural. In the army, aren’t there plenty of female soldiers and entertainers who want to find an officer?
Though the girl is from the countryside and lacks education and background, with her bold and cheerful personality, finding an officer wouldn’t be difficult.
"I’ll have my wife keep an eye out for her someday."
"That would be great," Shen Weixing smiled bitterly, "I’ve been worrying about it myself!" Back home, her reputation was truly bad, lazy and gluttonous, known by everyone. Finding a good family for her was too difficult.
Their voices were low, and the people around didn’t notice. But Su Hai heard it; Shen Weixing was his main subject of observation, having paid attention from the first moment he saw him.
If you looked carefully, you would notice that Su Hai’s standing position was quite delicate. Although many people gathered, chatting with each other, seemingly without a specific positioning, the most central area was undoubtedly where the senior officers stood.
