Chapter 166: The First “Date” (6)

Even someone like Ye Tianxin who knew nothing about the military knew how impressive one had to be to make it to the military newspaper. She smiled and said, “Elder Brother Li, you’re great!”

“Is Li here?”

Grandmother emerged from the kitchen. Her hands were covered with flour.

“Grandmother, are you feeling better?”

“I am much better,” Grandmother replied, smiling brilliantly. “Li, I am steaming buns right now. Come in and eat with us.”

Li Qingcang, who was about to leave, smiled and stayed in their apartment to eat buns.

The shape of the buns Grandmother made was very pretty. There were green bean sausage buns, red bean buns, sesame and sugar buns, tofu and cabbage buns, as well as some cornflour buns.

Li Qingcang sat in the rundown rental and immediately felt that they should fix the courtyard as soon as possible.

“Elder Brother Li, give this a try,” Ye Tianxin offered, handing buns to Li Qingcang enthusiastically. She hoped that Li Qingcang would be able to stay a little longer.

She wanted to spend more time with him. She really could not bear for Li Qingcang to leave.

“Grandmother, I have to go back to base now.”

Ye Tianxin walked Li Qingcang to the SUV reluctantly. Tears filled up her beautiful eyes when she saw Li Qingcang at the driver’s seat.

Oh, she couldn’t bear for him to leave!

She couldn’t bear it!

“Elder Brother Li, drive safely and be careful.”

Li Qingcang got out of the car and held Ye Tianxin’s hands. He placed her hands to his chest.

“Tianxin, I’m leaving now.”

Ye Tianxin made a tearful sound of agreement.

“Elder Brother Li, take care of yourself.”

“I will.”

Li Qingcang let go of Ye Tianxin and got into the car. He started the engine and drove off. As he drove, he stretched a hand out of the car window and waved at Ye Tianxin.

Ye Tianxin stood on the corner of the street and waved with all her might.

Goodbye, Elder Brother Li.

Goodbye, Elder Brother Li.

Li Qingcang was a few miles away when he noticed something and stopped the car. He looked at Yan Lili with sharp eyes when she drove near Li Qingcang’s SUV.

“Get out.”

Yan Lili got out of her car.

She looked like a child who had done something wrong. Her face was bright red, and she looked at Li Qingcang, not knowing what to do.

“Captain Li, did you know I had been following you?”

“Yan Lili, with your mediocre skills, don’t you think I would notice? Am I called ‘captain’ for nothing?”

Yan Lili had nothing to lose, so she went straight ahead, “That’s right. I have been following you. I heard from the political commissar that you are on leave today, so I wanted to come and see if you will go and meet with Ye Tianxin on your break.”

“I knew you were waiting outside the courtyard since this morning,” Li Qingcang revealed.

Li Qingcang wanted to drag Yan Lili out from where she had been hiding but was worried that Ye Tianxin might be mistaken about his relationship with Yan Lili.

That was why he had allowed Yan Lili to stalk them until now.

“Captain Li, I just want to know why you rejected me when I confessed to you… Why are you still willing to go shopping, eat a birthday cake, watch a movie with that girl after you rejected me? What’s so good about her that you are willing to waste so much time on her?”

Jealousy…

Yan Lilil’s expression was filled with jealousy.

When she saw how Li Qingcang had looked at Ye Tianxin with such gentleness in his eyes, she had been so jealous she wanted to tear Ye Tianxin apart! He never looked at her that way.

Why did Captain Li always look at her with such cold and unfeeling eyes?

Why did Captain Li look at Ye Tianxin with such gentle and loving eyes?
