Chapter 3, Unwritten Rules (Part 2)
Indeed, as Mr. Lei Shaoqing mentioned, she is a graduate of the nursing college this year
Of course, I believe!
Lei Shaoqing cast a very arrogant sneer at Fan Peikun, and also led the dance partner he had invited into the dance floor
It is now after 10 o'clock in the evening
Then, if I guess correctly, what reward will there be
Of course, there are many things that he did not expect
Lei Shaoqing appeared somewhat excited, "Let me introduce you, this is ... ... "
The second dance began at this time, as dozens of other couples also entered the dance floor
Hello
Before he could finish speaking, Tan Renhao saw the nurse who had accompanied him in the hospital for a month
At the same time, they exchanged notes bearing their contact addresses, which served as a hint and signal for the further development of their relationship
What are you doing? We arrived first. Don't you know the rule of first come, first served?
I heard that both you and Second Lieutenant Lei Shaoqing are from Wenzhou
Tan Renhao smiled
The nine pairs of couples who took the stage earlier will not be able to leave until the end of the second dance piece
If it is to the 'Bonaparte Restaurant' in Songjiang, then I can consider it further
Let me put it this way, I was compelled to enlist in the military, as for the reasons, you can only guess!
Next, Ren Hao and Liao Yingyu danced three consecutive dances together, and only when the nurses were ready to leave did the two reluctantly depart from the dance floor
When he arrived at the venue, Tan Renhao's mood improved significantly
Miss Yingyu, may I have the honor of inviting you to be my dance partner
At this moment, Fan Peikun interrupted the conversation between the two individuals and cast a slightly provocative glance at Tan Renhao
Come with me quickly, I have found a dance partner for you, and I guarantee you will be satisfied
As the sound of military drums echoed, the lights on the dance floor dimmed significantly, followed by the lively dance music that began to play
Hmph
Liao Yingyu smiled as she placed her hand on Tan Renhao's elbow, having already made her choice
Yes, we all secretly ran out to join the army, do you believe it
However, there were two other people beside her, one of whom was Fan Peikun, and the other was Fan Peikun's roommate
For instance, Vice Admiral Jiang Bangguo, the commander of the Second Fleet (the grandfather of Jiang Zhongmin), once played the role of a "clown" at the graduation ball that year. However, this did not hinder him from becoming a renowned leader in the Imperial Navy
Miss Yingyu, I am very grateful for your care, in fact ... ...
Whispering while dancing is a very effective means of communication
Renhao, where have you been? I have been looking for you for quite a while!
However, the last time I saw you, you were lying in a hospital bed
Renhao, how are you? I certainly did not deceive you, did I?
At this moment, the dance music came to an end, and the two of them left the dance floor along with the others.
No problem, I can save the allowances for at most the first half of the year, but you will have to wait until the first half of the year!
Second Lieutenant Fan Peikun, it still depends on whether the other party accepts your invitation
Only nine pairs took to the floor for the first dance, and it was soon noticed that this year's recipient of the Golden Sea Lion Medal, Fan Peikun, was absent
At the graduation ball of the Imperial Naval Academy, there is an unwritten rule that the first dance is led by the ten most outstanding graduates of the year, who must first find suitable dance partners
The female nurse graciously extended her hand
Tan Renhao awkwardly shook hands with Liao Yingyu
Lei Shaoqing's reaction is far stronger than that of Tan Renhao
Just as they were about to get in the car, Liao Yingyu suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around, and shouted at Tan Renhao: "Elopement, Lieutenant, remember 'Bonaparte Restaurant'!"
Tan Renhao nodded with a smile
Tan Renhao was also a bit irritated; he particularly disapproved of Fan Peikun's arrogant demeanor. Then, he smiled and said to Liao Yingyu: "Miss Yingyu, would you do me the honor of being my dance partner?"
"Second Lieutenant Tan Renhao, according to the rules, should I not be the one to invite the dance partner first?"
Subsequently, the two parted ways with a sense of lingering reluctance
When Liao Yingyu was escorted to the school gate, the two stopped in their tracks
If you guess it, then I will go on a date with you first after I graduate, how about that
Lei Shaoqing could not manage so much either, pulling Tan Renhao and making their way into the crowd
Tan Renhao pulled Lei Shaoqing, as he did not wish to cause a disturbance here, nor did he enjoy causing trouble
Lei Shaoqing did not know where he had emerged from, but he suddenly appeared beside Tan Renhao, "The dance party is about to start in five minutes, are you planning to go up and play the clown?"
Tan Renhao glanced at Liao Yingyu, and after obtaining consent, the two of them entered the dance hall once again. The third dance piece would be a fast-paced tango.
Tan Renhao smiled awkwardly, while also noticing the girl in a nursing school uniform with a few freckles on her face, who was standing next to Lei Shaoqing
Both individuals burst into laughter simultaneously, the allowance for a naval lieutenant officer is quite low, while the "Bonaparte Restaurant" in Songjiang is a top-tier French restaurant
My name is Liao Yingyu, you must be Second Lieutenant Tan Renhao, right
He never expected that Major General Liao Hanxiang would take an interest in him, a newly graduated second lieutenant, and even went so far as to write a letter to Principal Nie Renfeng, requesting that he be assigned to the Fifth Fleet
Fan Peikun's roommate immediately came forward
This is another unspoken rule of the Imperial Naval Academy, where those with higher grades will be given priority in being invited to dance partners
"Shaoqing, what are you doing..."
If one cannot find a dance partner, they will be referred to as a "clown". Of course, throughout history, there have been numerous super generals of empires who have served as clowns at graduation balls
Tan Renhao was taken aback for a moment, and then he began to smile wryly, realizing that Liao Yingyu had not forgotten that joking remark
Liao Yingyu also smiled, "There are quite a few wealthy merchants from Wenzhou, but there are hardly any generals. I heard that General Zheng Haisi also left home back in the day, then joined the Imperial Navy, and ultimately became a renowned general of the Imperial Navy. I wonder, is that the reason you came to the Imperial Navy?"
Liao Yingyu is evidently very interested in prying into the privacy of others, which may be a common flaw among women
Tan Renhao smiled as he glanced at Fan Peikun, then pushed aside Fan Peikun's roommate who was blocking his way and walked towards the center of the dance floor
During his three years at the military academy, Tan Renhao did not engage in a single romantic relationship. However, as a native of Wenzhou, coupled with the frequent "guidance" from Lei Shaoqing, the "playboy," he has developed a keen understanding of how to win a girl's heart.
However, this did not affect everyone's mood, as it was the celebration of the other five hundred and ninety-nine young officers who had just officially joined the Imperial Navy
Fan Peikun appears to be somewhat arrogant
