- Chapter 63 Just a face-to-face meeting
After dinner, Luo Cheng washed his lunch box and prepared to go to the guest house. He might have to stay in the guest house for the next few days, unless Luo Cheng chose to live in the small building. There were still old furniture there, so he could really move in in a package. But if you want to live in that courtyard, there is some furniture, tables, stools and the like. It may be because the space is used for office work and there are no beds there.
But beds are simple, and furniture stores sell second-hand ones. New beds, tables, chairs, and benches are basically the same price as second-hand ones. Even the old ones are made of better materials and may be more expensive than new ones. Antiques are not valuable these days. The reason why old ones are expensive is simple. You need to pay for new furniture, but old ones don’t.
Some furniture tickets say that you can only spend money to buy a stool if it says one stool. You can buy whatever you write about, so in this era, those with thirty-six legs were basically from wealthy families.
Thirty-six legs, including a square table, four chairs (stools), one bed, a large wardrobe, a dressing table, and a dining cupboard, exactly thirty-six legs.
Now that Luo Cheng is staying in a guest house, he doesn’t need any proof of work unit. His administrative level is high enough and he has a work permit, so he can stay in a guest house directly even when he goes out of town. The same is true even when taking a train. If you have a certain level, you can buy a ticket yourself. If you don’t have a certain level, you need a certificate from your employer.
When he came to the guest house, it was the same staff member from last time. Luo Cheng took out his ID. The other person was more polite than last time.
“Comrade Luo Cheng, it’s the same room as last time. It happens to be vacant today.”
“Then I’ll bring two bottles of boiling water up. I want to wash my head with hot water today.”
“No problem, if it’s not enough, you can exchange it with empty bottles when you use them up. We are all from Ngee Ann, so this is a small matter.”
Luo Cheng nodded, carrying the hot water bottle and walked towards the second floor.
Hey, there are benefits on the second floor. As soon as I went upstairs, I saw a few beautiful figures by the pool outside the toilet, but they were a bit far away and couldn’t see clearly. He was wearing military uniforms from this era, and his body shape looked very good.
“Now, why don’t you go to the room immediately, take the washbasin, and go to the sink to wash up, and take a look at how they look like.”
Luo Cheng thought in his heart, he didn’t dare to flirt with some female soldiers, but he could always take a look at them. It’s not that he’s a coward, it’s that these days, let alone female soldiers, it’s better for ordinary women to keep a distance. If you chase a girl without the introduction of a matchmaker, if your confession is successful, it’s called free love. If you fail to express your love, don’t say such stupid things as “I love you”. If you just say “I like you”, the other party can accuse you of being a hooligan.
“Comrade, please wait a moment. Comrade, please wait a moment.”
Luo Cheng’s room was in the opposite direction from the pool. Just as he turned around to go to his room, he heard a shout, which seemed to be calling him. When he turned around, he saw a female soldier walking towards him, and her appearance gradually became clearer.
Confused, confused. She is not too beautiful, but compared with women of this era, she is pretty good. Mainly because of her heroic appearance and temperament, Luo Cheng really has no resistance to women in military uniforms.
“Hello, comrade, what can I do for you?”
“Hello, comrade, why do you have two bottles of boiled water? Can you lend us one?”
“Oh, okay, small things, take it.”
It turns out that I need boiling water. The staff downstairs just said that I can go downstairs to get it after using it. Luo Cheng naturally doesn’t care.
“Comrade, are you in the army too?”
“No, I’ve been discharged from the army.”
“Oh, that’s it. Seeing you dressed like this, I thought you were in the army. Thank you for the boiled water. Which room do you live in? I’ll bring it to you when it’s finished.”
“201, the one at the far end.”
Luo Cheng told the room where he lived, and the other party nodded, took the bottle of water in his hand, and turned back. The other party must return the water bottle, because it belongs to the guest house and he has to return it tomorrow.
He would come over later to return the hot water bottle. The romantic encounter started with a bottle of boiling water. Although the other person was not very beautiful and did not know his name, Luo Cheng felt that he would have a loyal love.
“Zhao Qian, you really borrowed the boiling water. Remember to thank him when the time comes.”
“I understand, squad leader, that comrade just now is quite good-looking, but we are here to accompany you to complete the mission, and my family will not let me find a partner from other places.”
“If you want to find someone, when you get back, go to the army in our city to find someone. If you want someone good-looking, we also have some in our art troupe.”
Zhao Qian said nothing. There were indeed good-looking gay men in the art troupe, and some of them had good talents, but they had to choose. Moreover, people in art troupes generally don’t look for partners in art troupes. It’s not that rabbits don’t eat grass on the edge of their nests, but they have their own tasks to go around to express condolences to performers. If you find someone from an art troupe, unless you can change careers, it will be difficult to be together more than once throughout the year.
This time when I came to Ngee Ann, I came here to express condolences to the troops. Zhao Qian and the other two were just foils on the surface. Because it was too late to get here, I stayed in a guest house for one day and went to the army tomorrow. Then there will be some performances, and then the local unit performances will be the highlight.
I just didn’t expect that they would live in a guest house. Due to system problems, the four of them could only get two rooms. Moreover, each room only provides one bottle of boiled water. If you want to use hot water to wash your face and feet, there is no way.
The staff at the guest house made it very clear that this hot water is for you to drink, not for washing your face and feet. If you want to wash, there are sinks upstairs and downstairs, and you can wash with cold water. If you want to wash in hot water, take a bath ticket and go to the bathhouse to wash yourself.
Don’t use your status as a soldier to pressure others. They are not afraid of you. If you argue a few words, they will accuse you of ideological problems and petty bourgeois hedonism.
The four of them had just complained that there was no hot water to wash their feet. When they were washing in the sink, they saw Luo Cheng coming up with two bottles of boiling water.
Luo Cheng, holding a washbasin in his hand, was still debating in his mind whether he should pretend to be nonchalant and immediately go to the sink to wash his face or something. The female soldier was so charming.
“Okay, I’m just going to wash my face with normal water. The pool is right here. It’s inevitable to pass by.”
Luo Cheng had already prepared the groundwork in his heart, opened the door, turned around and looked in the direction of the pool. I went, but there was no one at the pool, everyone had gone into the room.
I can only really wash my face, grandma, and remember to find a beautiful girl for my partner in the countryside.
214. Just as Luo Cheng was passing by the door of this room, the door suddenly opened and a figure came out with a thermos bottle in his hand. When he opened it carefully, he saw that it was the female soldier comrade who had just asked him to borrow hot water.
It was definitely fate. Could it be that he was sensed by her, and the room number was God’s hint that he was going to die.
We just met each other, and my heart was broken. If I want to die in this life, I must die in your hands.
I recommend a friend’s book in the group. It’s interesting if you want to see how ridiculous it is. If you read it carefully, it will be very boring.
