Liu Feng and He Xiaoping's marriage application was approved without any surprises, and they were also assigned an apartment in the family housing.
In those times, getting married naturally did not involve so many complications, especially a revolutionary marriage within the military, where there were even fewer formalities to observe.
Early that morning, Hao Shuwen, Xiao Suizi, Lin Dingding, and the others had begun helping He Xiaoping get busy, packing up all sorts of things. The male soldiers' dormitory was no exception; everyone was helping Liu Feng pack as well. Today, they would be moving and settling into their new home as a married couple.
Before the application had even been approved, Hao Shuwen, Xiao Suizi, and the others had already started spreading the word for Liu Feng. Naturally, they believed Wang Yan. If he said they could get married, then they could get married. Once enough fuss had been made and everyone knew about it, it would be harder for anyone to make things awkward.
"Xiaoping, you look even prettier today."
Lin Dingding said this as she fixed He Xiaoping's hair. "What's past is past. The things we said in our dorm were all nonsense gossip—just treat them as jokes. From now on, live well with Liu Feng. He's a truly good man."
"Thank you."
He Xiaoping nodded. She knew everything and understood everything. But there was nothing she could really say. All that remained to say was thank you.
Still, she bore no resentment. She would not think that Liu Feng had only chosen her as a second-best option. After all, Liu Feng had been the first person she met, and they had known each other for more than a year. Of course she knew exactly what kind of person he was.
Everything between him and Lin Dingding
