Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

Lin Wangshu turned her head and saw that it was Wang Hong and Li Lu, who were looking at her with surprise.

Wang Hong was genuinely puzzled. She had complained bitterly about Lin Wangshu to Gao Qing, and since she hadn't seen Lin Wangshu at the dance team that afternoon, she assumed that Lin Wangshu had gone back to where she came from with her luggage!

Lin Wangshu smiled and asked her leisurely, "Then, Miss Capitalist, where should I go?"

When Wang Hong saw her bring this up again, she hurriedly interrupted her loudly: "Our family has been poor farmers for three generations. If you keep talking nonsense, you are slandering us. On the contrary, you were rejected by our dance team, but you still shamelessly stick here. I suspect you have ulterior motives."

"Wang Shu is now a member of our singing team. Instead of wasting your time doubting this and that, you should first check if your dancing skills have improved and if you've been working hard in private. Don't fall on stage again next time; that would be too embarrassing!"

He Xiao couldn't stand the people in these dance troupes. Everyone seemed to think they were above everyone else. When he saw Wang Hong inexplicably provoking him, he immediately attacked her like a gunpowder keg.

Wang Hong blushed deeply, and hearing the snickers around her, she covered her face in embarrassment. It was so shameful!

Li Lu stepped forward and said to He Xiao with tears welling up in her eyes, "Xiao Xiao, Xiao Hong was just feeling unwell that day. You insulted her without even knowing the facts. That's too much of a bullying." After saying that, she hugged Wang Hong to comfort her, her head hanging low. The two of them looked like pitiful victims who had been bullied.

Seeing Li Lu putting on this deadpan act again, some of the men around her frowned and were about to stand up for her. He Xiao felt wronged. They were the ones who provoked her first, and what she said was true. Now she was being made to look like some kind of villain.

Lin Wangshu patted He Xiao on the shoulder and said sternly to Li Lu, "Comrade, can't you speak properly? Commander Sun has already severely criticized this habit of shedding tears at the drop of a hat. We are soldiers, not capitalists' daughters. When we go to the front lines to comfort our comrades, are we going to cry the enemy to death with tears?"

Li Lu choked up upon hearing this, and dared not shed any more tears. If she cried again, she would be labeled as the rich man's daughter, and who would dare to bear that title?

"Comrade Lin is indeed worthy of being the Commander's daughter; she speaks with such eloquence that we ordinary people can't compare. From now on, we won't dare to cry when we're wronged!"

Li Lu already knew Lin Wangshu's background from her aunt, and her words implied that Lin Wangshu was abusing her power.

Lin Wangshu was extremely annoyed. She was already hungry, and she had to stand here and play mind games with this green tea bitch. So she said with a forced smile, "This comrade should go and report to the leaders if he has been wronged. The things I mentioned are all in the books of the old leader. It has nothing to do with whose daughter I am. Now everyone is equal. This comrade should also study more. Otherwise, it is not good to be in the new society but still have the mind of the feudal society."

After saying this, Lin Wangshu didn't want to see Li Lu's expression anymore. She was going to eat. He Xiao looked at her admiringly as she walked, "Wangshu, you're really amazing. You shut her up with a smile. You really helped me get revenge."

Although Song Jing didn't speak, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Wangshu. Bai Ge, however, was somewhat worried, "Isn't this going too far? What if the boss criticizes us?"

Lin Wangshu smiled and comforted her, "It's alright. I'm just pointing out the direction for my comrades who are backward in their thinking. Why should the leaders criticize us?"

Hearing her sophistry, Baige couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Back in the dormitory that evening, perhaps because of the camaraderie forged in battle together, the three of them enthusiastically helped Lin Wangshu unpack. Lin Wangshu then took out all the food that Dehua had packed to share. He Xiao, a foodie, tasted the meat sauce that Dehua had made himself and was so impressed that she couldn't speak. She kept praising Dehua's cooking skills until she was so full that she clutched her stomach and lay on the bed groaning.

Song Jing smiled, looking at her, and handed her some hawthorn slices. Bai Ge, meanwhile, held a letter and read it, her face beaming with happiness.

He Xiao, chewing on a hawthorn slice, jokingly asked her, "Is it another letter from your sweetheart?"

Bai Ge quickly put away the letter in her hand and said apologetically, "No, what nonsense are you talking about?"

He Xiao sighed somewhat sourly, "Song Jing has her neighbor brother, and you have a confidant with whom you exchange letters, but I'm all alone!" Upon hearing this, Song Jing sighed and buried her face in the pillow, ignoring him.

After saying that, He Xiao looked at Lin Wangshu warily, "Wangshu, you certainly don't have a lover you truly love!"

Lin Wangshu was packing her backpack at that moment, and she happened to be holding the photo of herself and Jiang Weidong in her hand. When she heard He Xiao's words, she inexplicably thought of Jiang Weidong's face and the hug she had with him on the day he left.

In an instant, Lin Wangshu felt a surge of heat throughout her body. Not understanding why she had thought of him, she quickly shook her head in denial, "No, I didn't!"

He Xiao looked at her face, which was as red as if it had been coated with a thick layer of rouge, and refused to believe her words. She couldn't help but wail, "Heavens, why has the heavens left me all alone!"

Lin Wangshu was both amused and exasperated. She truly hadn't done anything wrong. "I was just thinking about my brother. I'm innocent!"

He Xiao didn't believe her and chuckled, "Brother? Your face is all red, and you're telling me you're my brother? You must be my lover!"

Song Jing, who was standing to the side, also secretly raised her face. Looking at her rosy cheeks and glowing face, she covered her mouth and laughed. Isn't this a girl who misses her sweetheart?

Lin Wangshu couldn't help but touch her face, which was indeed a little hot, but she stubbornly said, "I'm just hot."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say goes."

Lin Wangshu didn't refute it anymore; saying anything more would only make things worse, and besides, she herself was flustered and confused.

The lights were out, and Lin Wangshu lay in bed, unable to sleep. She wondered how far away Jiang Weidong was now. Now that they were in the same city, would they be able to meet soon? What would he look like in his military uniform? Would he be happy to see her?

Countless topics about Jiang Weidong flooded in like a tide. Lin Wangshu clenched the clothes at her chest, trying to stop her heart from beating so fast. She thought she might have fallen for him.

Lin Wangshu closed her eyes in pain. An Jie and her husband treated her like their own daughter. If she fell in love with Jiang Weidong, what would they think of her? And what would Jiang Weidong think of her?
