I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"Advisor Qin, please find a place to sit down first. I'll go get some food."

Ye Ming nodded, found a seat and sat down, while Zhao Ran went to get his meal.

It was exactly 6:30 in the evening, and it was not yet time for the soldiers' dinner.

The Operations Department's dinner time was 7 p.m. Since it was not yet dinner time, there were not many people eating in the cafeteria.

Ye Ming waited for about five minutes, and Zhao Ran came to Ye Ming with two meals.

Zhao Ran placed a meal in front of Ye Ming and said:

"Advisor Qin, dinner is ready."

Ye Ming nodded, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Zhao Ran saw this and started eating without hesitation.

......

Ye Ming and Zhao Ran finished their dinner, put their plates in the sink, and then left the cafeteria.

After leaving the cafeteria, Ye Ming said to Zhao Ran beside him:

"Zhao Ran, do you know where the new female soldiers of Army C are training?"

Ye Ming asked Zhao Ran this question because he wanted to meet Zhou Xiaobai and wanted to know where the C Army recruits were training.

Zhao Ran heard Ye Ming's question and replied:

"I understand that more than a month ago, those newly enlisted female soldiers are now undergoing a three-month recruit training in the Third Regiment."

When Ye Ming heard Zhao Ran's answer, he nodded and continued.

"Zhao Ran, accompany me back to the dormitory first, and then take me to the base of the Third Regiment."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ran responded immediately.

"Okay, Consultant Qin."

"Because the base of the Third Regiment is about ten kilometers away from our operations department, in order to save time, it's best for us to drive a jeep."

After hearing this, Ye Ming also expressed his agreement.

"Okay, then go drive the car, and we'll meet at the entrance of the dormitory building."

"Okay, Consultant Qin."

Zhao Ran responded and turned to drive the jeep. He did not ask why Ye Ming wanted to go to the Third Regiment. Although Zhao Ran was a little stubborn, he knew his responsibilities.

He had two tasks: one was to protect Ye Ming's safety, and the other was to follow Ye Ming's instructions. As long as Ye Ming gave an order, he would do it.

Other things are none of Zhao Ran’s business.

Ye Ming returned to the dormitory and prepared to give Zhou Xiaobai a gift.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Ran drove the jeep and stopped in front of Ye Ming's dormitory building. At this time, Ye Ming was already waiting at the door of the dormitory building with a gift.

After Zhao Ran parked the car, Ye Ming got into the passenger seat with the gift in his hand. After fastening his seat belt, he said to Zhao Ran.

"Zhao Ran, let's go."

Zhao Ran nodded and responded.

"Okay, Consultant Qin."

After saying that, Zhao Ran started the jeep, and the series of movements were smooth and skillful. In an instant, the jeep sped out like an arrow from a string and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Ran drove Ye Ming to the base of the Third Regiment.

After parking the car, Zhao Ran said to Ye Ming who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Advisor Qin, we have arrived at the training base for the newly enlisted female soldiers."

Ye Ming answered after hearing this.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Zhao Ran."

"Wait for me here for a moment. I'll go find someone and come back soon."

Zhao Ran suggested after hearing this.

"Advisor Qin, let me go with you."

Ye Ming looked at the determined look in Zhao Ran's eyes and said helplessly.

"Uh, whatever you want."

Originally, Ye Ming didn't want Zhao Ran to accompany him to meet Zhou Xiaobai, but Zhao Ran insisted, so Ye Ming couldn't refuse.

After all, Zhao Ran was following orders from his superiors to protect his safety, and it seemed inappropriate to refuse Zhao Ran.

Anyway, Ye Ming was just going to visit Zhou Xiaobai, so there was nothing to keep secret, and Zhao Ran's presence would not have any impact.

When Zhao Ran heard Ye Ming's words, he immediately unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, and took the gift from Ye Ming.

Afterwards, Ye Ming took Zhao Ran straight to the female soldiers’ base.

Ten minutes later, Ye Ming and Zhao Ran arrived at the door of Zhou Xiaobai's dormitory. At the door, Ye Ming stopped a female soldier.

"Comrade, do you know Zhou Xiaobai?"

The female soldier that Ye Ming stopped heard the question and nodded in response.

"Yes, Zhou Xiaobai's dormitory is next to ours."

Ye Ming continued:

"Great. Comrade, I'm Zhou Xiaobai's friend. Can you help me get her out?"

The female soldier readily agreed:

"No problem, wait a moment, I'll go call Xiaobai."

After that, she left in a hurry. Soon, Zhou Xiaobai, wearing a military uniform, appeared at the door of the dormitory building.

Seeing Zhou Xiaobai, Ye Ming smiled and said:

"Xiaobai, I'm here to see you."

Zhou Xiaobai was stunned when he heard Ye Ming's voice...

Then, she quickly walked to Ye Ming, hugged him, and said excitedly:

"Ye Ming, I miss you so much."

Ye Ming also hugged Zhou Xiaobai gently and responded softly:

"Xiaobai, I miss you too."

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were full of happiness. If they were not in front of the dormitory door, she really wanted to give Ye Ming a passionate kiss.

After a while, Zhou Xiaobai let go of Ye Ming and asked in a tender voice:

"Ye Ming, are Sister Qiuye and Sister E all okay?"

Ye Ming smiled and replied:

"Well, Qiuye and Sister E are all very good."

At this time, Ye Ming waved to Zhao Ran in the distance. Zhao Ran saw it and immediately came over with a gift.

"Advisor Qin, do you have any instructions?"

Ye Ming replied:

"Zhao Ran, put down the gift and continue to stand guard nearby."

Zhao Ran responded yes, put down the gift and stepped aside.

"Ye Ming, who is he?"

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Zhao Ran not far away and asked in confusion.

Ye Ming explained:

"His name is Zhao Ran, and he is the platoon leader of the third platoon of the first company of the Operations Department's Guard Battalion."

Zhou Xiaobai continued to ask:

"Ye Ming, why is Zhao Ran following you? Isn't he from the Operations Guard Battalion?"

"Did you violate the rules?"

Ye Ming scratched Zhou Xiaobai's nose and said helplessly:

"Xiao Bai, I just arrived at the C Army today, how could I possibly violate discipline?"

"Zhao Ran was sent by my superiors to protect me, so he has always been by my side."

Zhou Xiaobai understood and said in a tender voice:

"Oh, I see."

Seeing Zhou Xiaobai's expression of sudden enlightenment, Ye Ming shook his head helplessly. Then, he remembered something and said to Zhou Xiaobai:

"By the way, Xiaobai, this is the gift Qiuye, Sister E and I prepared for you."

As he spoke, Ye Ming pointed to the gift on the ground.

Hearing Ye Ming's words, Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help but blink, glanced at the gift on the ground, and then responded in a sweet voice.

"Ye Ming, when you get back, remember to thank Sister Qiuye and Sister E for me."

Hearing this, Ye Ming smiled and teased her.

"Xiaobai, you know how to thank Qiuye and Sister E, but have you forgotten to thank me?"

Zhou Xiaobai heard his joke and looked at Ye Ming's playful expression. How could she, as smart as she was, not understand his intention?

So, Zhou Xiaobai stretched out her slender jade fingers, gently pinched the flesh on Ye Ming's waist, and said.

"I was negligent, Ye Ming, how do you want me to thank you?"

After she finished speaking, Zhou Xiaobai's tone was filled with a hint of warning. At this moment, if Ye Ming was not careful, she would "teach" him a lesson without hesitation.
