1970s Era, Military Marriage, A Reserved Military Officer Who’s Both Cold and Secretly Affectionate, Best Friends Become Sisters-in-Law.
“We’re not suitable for each other. I’ll be leaving first—goodbye!”
“How would you know we’re not suitable if we don’t talk?”
Lin Wanshu only went in her best friend Liu Fan’s place to reject blind date candidates.
She thought it was such a waste that Liu Fan refused to personally meet so many outstanding men!
Still, keeping their agreement, she politely turned down eight different matches.
After returning home, Lin Wanshu tried persuading Liu Fan:
“Just pick any one of them—they’re all pretty good.”
She even complained a little about the last guy, calling him rude and impolite.
Then Liu Fan’s older brother suddenly walked in from outside.
Lin Wanshu froze in shock. Covering her cheek and pretending to have a toothache, she fled on the spot.
…
A few months later, they met again.
This time, Liu Yuning started arranging blind dates for Lin Wanshu himself.
He carefully evaluated every soldier under his command, yet somehow found fault with every single one of them.
Completely forgetting how strongly he once opposed the match Grandpa had chosen for his own sister…
…
“Commander Liu, maybe we should just forget it and let things happen naturally…”
“What do you mean ‘Commander Liu’? Call me Brother.”
Later, when Lin Wanshu finally started dating someone, everyone praised the couple as a perfect match made in heaven.
But Liu Yuning felt increasingly irritated and miserable inside.
He would even hide in corners and sternly stop them from kissing.
“His character’s no good. Find another one…”
“Brother, I’m already twenty-two!”
“Who’s your brother? Call me by my name…”
And later…
“Maybe we should replace the bed with solid oak. We’ve already broken two this month.”
“Well… it’s not like we absolutely need a bed…”
