An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 95 "Selling Art, Not Body"

Meng Youyou stepped forward, smiled, and introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Meng Youyou, I'm from the capital, and I'm currently a translator for the 624 Border Defense Force."

Her posture was poised and graceful.

Lu Feng switched to serious mode, "Lu Feng, the anti-drug squad."

Meng Youyou casually started a conversation: "Did you and Battalion Commander Huo graduate from the same school?"

"Yes, Comrade Meng, I know his background very well. If you want to know anything, you can ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

Lu Feng got excited and started listing things: "For example, his romantic history in school, how many love letters he received, I know all the details."

Meng Youyou raised an eyebrow with interest and repeated, "Romantic history?"

Lu Feng selectively ignored the glare from the man standing behind the girl, which was clearly a warning look, and said with a smug look, "Huh? Didn't this kid tell you?"

Meng Youyou glanced at someone, then quickly turned back and said with a smile, "Anyway, we don't have a formal title yet, so it's not too late for you to tell me now."

Lu Feng deliberately avoided looking at Huo's murderous gaze and kept boasting: "It was during his junior year of college. Back then, he was already incredibly arrogant. Before that, every freshman would naturally split into two factions after hearing his name. One faction admired him greatly, while the other was dedicated to challenging and defeating him."

That said, this tradition originated from our duel. I made a bet with him that whoever lost would have to grant the other a request.

At the time, I thought that if I beat him, I would make him be my lackey for a month, fetching food and water and doing whatever he wanted for me.

Later, for some reason, this tradition continued, but three years have passed and no one has succeeded in challenging it.

Until one day, a female student challenged him to a long-range moving target shooting contest. Guess what happened?

Asking questions with the answer already given is really boring, but Meng Youyou still cooperated and answered, "Did that junior sister win?"

Lu Feng laughed: "Yes, that junior sister eventually won against Huo Qingshan, and then..." He paused, quickly glancing at Huo Qingshan's expression, and continued: "The junior sister was very righteous. She had a roommate who liked Huo Qingshan, and after she won, her request was that Huo Qingshan be with her roommate."

Meng Youyou pressed on, "And then what happened?"

"Later..." Lu Feng said mysteriously, "After all, what happened later was between the two of them, and I, as an outsider, don't know the details very well."

After recounting Huo Qingshan's dark history, Lu Feng "retired successfully," keeping his achievements hidden and leaving without a trace. He waved his hand and said he was going to visit his other colleagues in the inpatient department.

Before leaving, he thoughtfully closed the door to the ward.

……

After he left, Meng Youyou didn't look at Huo Qingshan again. She walked silently to the bedside table and unscrewed the lid of the thermos.

Huo Qingshan walked behind her, put his hands around her waist, hugged her, rested his chin on the girl's forehead, and said softly, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

"Oh~ So that means everything Senior Brother Lu just said was a lie?"

Huo Qingshan was speechless for a moment: "..."

The man sighed softly and explained, "I'm not with her."

Meng Youyou turned around in his arms, reached out and pinched the man's chin, teasingly saying, "Commander Huo, are you a sore loser? So dishonest?" Huo Qingshan took the opportunity to lower his head and kiss her hand, but Meng Youyou reacted quickly, pulling her hand away from his chin, only to put it back on his cheek a second later... She patted it twice, using a little force: "Now is the time to admit your mistakes and turn yourself in. Don't try to muddy the waters, be serious."

Meng Youyou put on a rather serious expression, which at first glance was quite intimidating.

“When I beat others before, I basically didn’t make any demands, except for the time with Lu Feng.”

For some reason, when he said that, Meng Youyou felt that he seemed a little aggrieved, and she was about to break character and burst out laughing.
"So, in the end, this matter just ended with you acting like a rogue?" Meng Youyou asked.

Huo Qingshan paused for a moment, then said, "I provided hot water for their dorm for a whole semester."

Meng Youyou couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this part.

She reached out and scratched the man's chin, smiling as she affirmed, "Commander Huo sells his art, not his body; he has integrity."

……

After being discharged from the hospital, Huo Qingshan threw himself back into his daily work with almost no adjustment. As the year draws to a close, the challenges and difficulties encountered in border defense work increase exponentially.

Zhou Shiyan arrived at the 624 Unit around noon one day and waited in the waiting room, familiar with the place.

Zhou Shiyan, sitting on the sofa drinking tea, looked at the large and small packages beside him and fell into deep thought.

His brother has asked him for help almost as many times in the past year as he has in the previous twenty years combined, but each time it's to help him find channels to buy some rare foreign goods.

Judging from the product names he provided, these items couldn't possibly be for his own use. Zhou Shiyan naturally knew perfectly well who they were for.

Huo Qingshan arrived late, and the first thing he said as he entered the reception room was, "Did you buy the things?"

Zhou Shiyan: "..."

He said somewhat irritably, "Has Battalion Commander Huo received a raise recently? You can't just buy something worth over five hundred yuan like that! In an ordinary family, that amount of money would be enough for a bride price."

"Indeed, the eldest daughter of the Meng family is indeed precious."

Huo Qingshan frowned and looked at Zhou Shiyan, his tone serious: "Shiyan, I have already made my position very clear to you, so please don't say such things again in the future."

She's your sister-in-law, and I expect you to show her basic respect. If you still insist on doing so, then next time I'll ask someone else to handle this matter.

Zhou Shiyan felt once again that his good intentions were not appreciated, and he said anxiously, "Qingshan, even with the border guard allowance, you only have about two hundred yuan a month. These things together are worth three months of your salary. You think you can just buy them like that?"

Huo Qingshan stepped forward and patted Zhou Shiyan on the shoulder: "I know what I'm doing. I won't buy anything beyond my means. I usually stay in the army and don't need to spend money. I've saved all my money."

This price is within my budget, so don't worry too much.

Since he's already said that, what else can Zhou Shiyan say?

All I could do was pick up the things at my feet and hand them over, saying, "Here, everything is. Please check if there are any problems. The hair dryer was chosen according to your requirements—as small and lightweight as possible."

Merry Christmas everyone!
