Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Is He Even a Man?

”Confess to him?” Gu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes, ”I must be daydreaming! He didn’t even bother to tell me when he was leaving! And I was planning to see him off...”

”Shuangshuang, I’ve noticed you can be quite petty sometimes,” An Hao couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. ”In my mind, I’ve always thought of you as a very passionate and uninhibited girl, one who never sweats the small stuff.”

”An Hao, you call this small stuff?” Gu Shuangshuang, getting worked up, suddenly sat up. ”An Hao, since you’ve figured it out, I won’t hide it from you. To be honest, I do have a soft spot for this simple-minded guy. I think he’s really sincere with people, straightforward with what he means. I feel like, although we haven’t gotten to the step where we express our feelings, when I look into his eyes, I can sense he must like me... You tell me, even if he didn’t like me, shouldn’t he at least have given me a heads-up as a friend before he left? Leaving without as much as a fart, does he even qualify as a man?”

After finishing, Gu Shuangshuang heaved a long sigh: ”Oh my goodness! I’m so angry! I can’t even bring this up without getting upset.”

An Hao got up, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Gu Shuangshuang: ”Calm down. It seems you really do care about Tian Niu, huh? How about I play matchmaker for you?”

”No... don’t...” Gu Shuangshuang choked on a mouthful of water and went into a bout of violent coughing, her face turning beet red, ”Please don’t interfere. If that guy finds out I like him, won’t he become unbearably smug?”

”I think, maybe, Captain Tian is just shy inside. Perhaps, he is also afraid that you don’t like him and doesn’t dare to confess to you...”

”He shy?” The thought made Gu Shuangshuang blush, ”If he’s shy, then pigs can climb trees.”

Somewhere in the Northwestern Military Region.

Qin Jian was immersed in studying the operational plan for a war game exercise. He had been in this place for some time now and had been designing training plans for the past two months.

To enhance the quality and wartime adaptability of the troops, he had put in a lot of effort.

He had a meeting at the division headquarters this morning; there will be a large-scale opposing force exercise in the next three months. Their group against another group, and the enemy forces are very strong overall. To claim victory in this exercise, meticulous planning and strategizing are needed.

The regiment commander valued this exercise greatly, so he entrusted the task of commanding the operation to Qin Jian—the mythical figure in the mouths of the Northern Military Region personnel.

This was a sign of trust, as well as an opportunity to test and assess his capabilities.

Qin Jian, focused solely on the plan, had completely forgotten about Tian Niu sitting opposite him.

Tian Niu sat back in his chair with his arms folded, leaned back, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Suddenly, he felt a tickle in his nose and before he could react, he sneezed violently, spraying directly towards Qin Jian’s face.

”Atchoo~”

The sneeze was so powerful it scattered the draft papers off the desk.

”If I didn’t know you were sneezing, I’d think that was ’thunder from a clear sky,’” Qin Jian frowned and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his face, then tossed the training plan he had written in front of Tian Niu, ”It’s covered in your saliva. Rewrite it. Then give me back the plan.”
