After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

"Of course there's no problem with dating... No, you want me to help you find a boyfriend, what about the captain?" Ellie was confused.

Liang Tan was helpless: "I've told you, the captain and I have nothing to do with each other, but you are forcing me to do it." Nothing could prove that she had no feelings for Cui Ling more than the fact that she wanted to find someone else.

"But I think the captain treats you..."

"The captain values ​​my talent. Think about it carefully. Am I the only one in the entire base whose strength can be comparable to the captain's?" Liang Tan guided.

Ellie hesitated for three seconds: "Yes."

"Do you value talent?" Liang Tan asked again.

Ellie stopped talking.

Liang Tan patted her shoulder and said, "My admiration for the captain is like a surging river, but there is nothing else. The captain treats me the same way, so don't be afraid, be bold and help me introduce someone."

Ellie was dizzy, but after meeting her determined gaze, she couldn't help but agreed.

Liang Tan opened the door with satisfaction. Just as he was about to let her out, he heard her ask, "What kind do you like?"

"Just look at it yourself. I believe in your judgment." Liang Tan said perfunctorily. She asked Ai Li to introduce a boyfriend to her, not because she really wanted to fall in love, but just wanted to use this incident to prove that there was really nothing between her and Cui Ling.

Ellie nodded and started helping her search after lunch. In less than an afternoon, the whole base knew about it.

"I always thought she and the captain were a couple, but it turns out they weren't?"

"They both want to find a partner, this is definitely not the case. It seems that we should stop joking around in the future. What have the two of them been arranged to be?"

"Really? You've been teasing me for so long. If you wanted to be together, you would have been together a long time ago. How could you have waited until now? You'd better stop talking nonsense and affect Xiao Liang's search for a partner."

Although Liang Tan had not gone out, he knew without thinking what the current public opinion was like in the base. So he stretched out his body and continued to sleep without any care in his heart.

The gossip soon reached Cui Ling's office. When she heard that Liang Tan was going on a blind date, Cui Ling's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't show any more emotions. Instead, Li Sheng, the gossip spreader, looked in a good mood: "I told you that Chao Chao and you are just comrades-in-arms. They insisted on making up stories one by one. Now that she wants to find a boyfriend, it can be regarded as a disguised way of clarifying your relationship."

After saying that, he sighed, "It's hard to imagine what kind of man she would look for. I heard her say once before that she likes bookish men. So Qian Ci seems to be suitable. What do you think, Captain? If it's possible, I can act as a matchmaker?"

"Have the fences been repaired?" Cui Ling asked coldly.

Li Sheng was stunned: "No, no."

"The scheduled construction period is five days, and today is the third day." Cui Ling looked up at him.

Li Sheng swallowed his saliva: "I, I, I will go right away and make sure I complete the task!"

After saying that, he ran away, and Cui Ling was the only one left in the office.

Cui Ling sat quietly, staring at the news that had just arrived for a long time, motionless like a sculpture.

From that day on, no one gossiped about them anymore. If someone occasionally mentioned it, they would at most look regretful and say that they still felt the two of them were the most suitable, and then turn around and forget about it.

Liang Tan was very satisfied with this situation. Just two days later, Ai Li helped her find a suitable candidate.

"This kid just came to the base, he's also S-rank, and he's a private right after he arrived. He has a bright future and he's good-looking too. Would you like to meet him tomorrow?" Ellie looked expectant.

Liang Tan didn't expect that she would actually find one. After a moment of silence, he thought about how to refuse. As a result, Ai Li made the decision directly: "I have been looking for a long time, and this one is the most suitable. I have already made an appointment with him. You can go and meet him at 4:30 in the afternoon at the square."

"...So fast?" Liang Tan was speechless.

Ellie chuckled: "You still have two hours to prepare, which is not fast."

Liang Tan: “…”

Seeing her respond to the troops, Ellie was stunned for a moment and then asked: "You don't want to see him? You don't suddenly feel like you like the captain more..."

"Meet, meet, meet," Liang Tan interrupted quickly, "but only this one. You told the whole base that I wanted to find a boyfriend, and I can't face meeting another one. It's as if no one wants me."

She found a perfect excuse.

Ellie smiled sheepishly: "I just can't learn to be low-key."

"Anyway, I'm only going to see this one. If it works out, it's fine. If not, forget it. I'll slowly look for someone else later." Liang Tan finished speaking, and did not forget to add, "You haven't told anyone else about my blind date tonight, right?"

"I didn't say that. I promise." Ellie said hurriedly.

Liang Tan was relieved then and planned to just meet the man casually in the evening, or treat him to a meal, so as to end the blind date without anyone knowing, so as to avoid becoming the topic of conversation at the base again.

Unfortunately, the plan was good, but it overlooked the fact that there was another uncontrollable factor besides Ellie.

"Deputy Captain Ai Li is introducing you to a girlfriend?" Several third and fourth class soldiers gathered together to smoke in front of the fence outside the village. After a handsome young man finished speaking, everyone was very surprised. "Who is he introducing? Could it be Liang Tan?"

Now the whole base knows that Ellie is helping Liang Tan find a boyfriend.

The man's voice was not loud. Cui Ling, who was checking the fence not far away, suddenly looked up and saw a fair-faced young man sitting among a group of rough men. He looked particularly different.

"Captain, I have personally checked these railings and I guarantee they are very strong. If you don't believe me, you can try shaking them." Li Sheng said nonchalantly.

Cui Ling lowered his eyes and walked to the fence with an expressionless face.

On the other side, the mercenaries who were taking a break were still chatting enthusiastically.

When the young man heard everyone's exclamation, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes: "I didn't expect it would be me other than her. Ellie is the deputy captain, and I'm embarrassed to refuse, so I can only agree to meet her. I have to go there in more than an hour."

"Don't be so nagging. Liang Tan is so beautiful, the most beautiful girl in the whole base. She is also very powerful. Although she is only a third-class soldier now, she can already take top-level missions. It will only take a few minutes for her to become a first-class soldier. You can go on a blind date with her. Your ancestors must be so happy, right?"

"Who is so angry? I'm very popular, so it's not surprising that you're attracted to me. Besides, I haven't agreed yet," the young man said with a click of the tongue. "Women don't need to be that strong or beautiful. It's enough if they are sensible and well-behaved. I don't know if she is a good girl. If not, wouldn't I be at a loss?"

Cui Ling, who was not far away, was holding a railing and testing it. Suddenly, he exerted force with his hand and the railing was pulled up directly.

Li Sheng: “…”

The soldiers gathered together, listening to the young man's boastful words in a regretful tone, looked at each other for a while, and finally the oldest one spoke up: "We haven't even met yet, how do you know that Liang Tan would like you?"

"She must have taken a fancy to me. She passed me at the last celebration party and must have noticed me at that time. That's why Ellie came to me now," the young man said. He didn't notice the speechless expressions of the crowd and continued with a sigh, "She came earlier than me and is so important. If I don't agree, I will definitely be bullied in the future, so I'd better agree with reluctance."

Everyone: “…” This guy is too confident.

While the soldiers were speechless, Li Sheng felt a drop of sweat running down his forehead. He stared at the railing stick in Cui Ling's hand, and after a long silence, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Captain...you can't use so much force."

"Will zombies deliberately hold back their strength?" Cui Ling asked coldly.

Li Sheng laughed dryly: "Then, do we need to redo the work?"

Cui Ling looked at him silently.

Li Sheng was startled. "I'll have them redo the work now. What the hell are these bastards doing? They buried the railings so shallowly. If zombies come, they will break into the base in a matter of minutes!"

Cui Ling was too lazy to pay attention to his performance of grief and turned away. Li Sheng silently wiped the sweat off his forehead, called all the people who were repairing the fence, and announced that they had to work overtime and complete it within three days.

This made the task much more urgent, and everyone didn't dare to delay and started working quickly.

The young man was absent-minded, looking at the sky from time to time. When the sun slowly set, he finally couldn't help but go to find Li Sheng: "Captain Li, I want to ask for a leave."

"What?" Li Sheng frowned.

The young man smiled awkwardly: "Go on a blind date."

Li Sheng's eyelids jumped: "The construction site is so busy now, you want to go on a blind date?"

His voice was a little high, attracting many people's attention. The young man blushed a little, but thinking that this man was a good friend of Liang Tan, he became bolder and said, "It's a blind date with Liang Tan. I'll go for half an hour."

"You can't even go on a blind date with the emperor," Li Sheng frowned, "What do you think this is, a nine-to-five office building? You're a soldier now, not an office worker!"

The young man never expected that bringing up Liang Tan would not work, and he was scolded instead. In the end, he could only return to his post in disgrace. The people at the same post with him looked at each other and tacitly suppressed their laughter.

"Don't mind it. You don't like her anyway. It's just right that you can't go. It's not you who stood her up. You were just following orders." A 'good brother' advised seriously.

Another person quickly agreed: "That's right, you like those who are sensible and well-behaved. Liang Tan is obviously a strong woman with strength, and she is not suitable for you. It just happens that you use overtime as an excuse to save yourself the trouble of thinking about how to reject her."

The young man had no choice but to continue working with a sad face.

When the time came, Liang Tan went to the square and waited under the big tree that Ai Li mentioned.

One minute passed, then ten minutes passed, and the sun was about to set, but there was still no sign of the 'handsome man' that Ellie had mentioned.

The cafeteria was near the square. Although it was not yet dinner time, the aroma of food had already begun to waft out of it. Liang Tan was in agony sitting here.

Half an hour passed, and still no one came to see her. Liang Tan couldn't resist the temptation of food, so she trotted to the cafeteria.

Cui Ling watched her enter the cafeteria, stood alone for a while and was about to leave, but before he turned around, he saw her coming back, holding two pancakes and eating while waiting.

Cui Ling could only stop.

It was getting dark, the two pancakes were quickly digested, and Liang Tan started to feel hungry again.

Although it is almost spring, it is extremely cold at night. Liang Tan thought that the blind date would be over before the sun sets, so he only wore a thin coat when he went out. Now sitting on the bench, he feels cold all over and just wants a bowl of hot soup to warm his body.

Just as she was struggling over whether to go eat first, a pair of military boots suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked up from the boots, past the long legs and narrow waist, and finally stopped at the other person's face.

The base was not very big, but the two of them had not seen each other for several days, because she had deliberately done so.

Liang Tan was slightly stunned when he first saw Cui Ling. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He quickly stood up and smiled awkwardly: "Captain, long time no see."

"You also know it's been a long time." Cui Ling said calmly.

Maybe she was overthinking it, but Liang Tan could hear a hint of resentment in this sentence. She cleared her throat and agreed, "I've been sick recently, so I don't go out much."

After saying that, there was silence.

Cui Ling ignored her uncomfortable look and stared at her for a long time until she showed signs of wanting to run away. Then he said calmly, "No need to wait. Li Sheng is leading the team back to work today and will not finish until at least 10 pm."

Liang Tan was shocked: "How did you know..."

"You and I are superiors and subordinates, not master and servant. We are equals. If you want to refuse, just say so directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. There's no need to go against your true feelings and go on a blind date with a man you don't know just for such a small matter," Cui Ling said, pausing for a moment. "I've heard your thoughts. We can just get along normally from now on."

Liang Tan didn't expect that he would break the window paper directly. After a moment of hesitation, his cheeks flushed: "I am not that captain, listen to my explanation..."

But how should I explain it specifically? Liang Tan was stuck after saying this, after all, Cui Ling was telling the truth.

The two people suddenly fell silent. The special atmosphere was like a thick transparent shell that covered the two people. Everyone who passed by them could sense the unusual atmosphere, but could not see clearly what it was.

Liang Tan stood there stiffly for a long time, not knowing what to say, Cui Ling slowly spoke: "Academician Li sent a message today that their researchers accidentally left some information in the supplies, and asked us to find it and send it to their current Canglong Base. You are specifically mentioned to go with them, so get ready and leave with me in three days."

"Oh... okay." Liang Tan nodded in agreement.

Cui Ling glanced at her and said, "Adjust yourself. I don't want you to be in this state when we go on a mission together."

Liang Tan: “…”

Watching him go away, Liang Tan couldn't help but mutter, "Why do you act like I was dumped..." It was obviously him who was rejected.

Liang Tan: “…”
