“I thought there was something special, but it turns out to be just an ordinary bowl of mung bean soup! She can really talk big!”

“You don’t say. How could the military district lack a bowl of mung bean soup for a soldier? Why would Lin Fan need to step in for this? Could it be she wants to join the kitchen staff?”

They deliberately made their voices loud enough for others to hear.

Zhao Xiu heard this and felt extremely uncomfortable.

How could the mung bean soup from her savior be just an ordinary green bean soup? It’s just that these people lack discernment. Zhao Xiu looked down upon those who gossip without understanding.

Yu Yan’s expression was not pleasant either, but Zhao Xiu held his hand, whispering, “Don’t worry, it’s not over yet. If she can stand up there so confidently, it means she’s confident in herself. Let’s wait and see.”

“Do I look like such a petty person?” Yu Yan widened his eyes, a bit annoyed. “I’m just angry. How can this mung bean soup be considered a performance?”

This statement made Zhao Xiu realize something was amiss, but she did not voice her concern. Instead, she symbolically reassured General Yu, “Having good intentions is what matters. After all, it’s different from the usual singing and dancing performances.”

General Yu’s expression softened slightly.

The two whispered to each other intimately. When Zhou Liu noticed their behavior, she pricked up her ears to listen. Unfortunately, she did not hear anything clearly, but a sense of unease began to rise within her.

From the moment Lin Fan stepped onto the stage, Zhao Xiu must have recognized her. Was Zhao Xiu talking about Lin Fan when she was conversing with General Yu just now?

However, General Yu’s expression did not seem good.

The only certainty was that Zhao Xiu probably hadn’t exposed her yet.

She glanced around, planning to find a suitable time to leave. When her gaze shifted back to the stage, her eyes were murky and unclear.

Perhaps it’s better to watch Lin Fan embarrass herself first.

As long as Lin Fan lost face, she quickly walked away.

As long as she ran fast enough, the matter of losing face could not catch up with her.

The voices from below had long reached Lin Fan’s ears, but she paid no attention, merely exchanged a glance with Yan Shun from a distance. Immediately, Yan Shun summoned a few brothers and discreetly left their seats.

The people Yan Shun called over, having initially known what was in the big bucket, did not expect much. However, upon opening the lid, the fragrant scent of mung beans hit them, and with a sniff, they even detected other smells mixed in.

When they each filled their first bowl, they found that apart from mung beans, there were other things inside, leaving them all bewildered.

Upon closer inspection, the presentation was quite good, and it was not just plain mung bean soup. This was different from what they usually drank.

Lin Fan and Ning Yan arrived by their side at this moment, handing out bowls to the people present.

Lin Fan moved among everyone, her mood unaffected by their discussions. When she handed a bowl to Zhao Xiu, surprise lit up her eyes. “It’s you? I didn’t expect you to be a military wife too. What a coincidence! I personally made this mung bean soup, added some lotus root, a great stuff for cooling down. It’s my unique recipe. You must try it!”

Zhao Xiu, seeing that Lin Fan had finally noticed her, felt a surge of satisfaction. She happily said, “I was just looking for you. I was supposed to visit you these days, but now, thinking about it, it’s good I didn’t go! Hearing what you said, I knew this mung bean soup of yours wasn’t ordinary!”

When Zhao Xiu said this, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally shifted towards Zhou Liu. Lin Fan quickly understood what was happening and smiled, saying, “What’s the big deal? We can still meet in the future!”

Zhao Xiu’s attitude towards Lin Fan was particularly warm, in stark contrast to her demeanor when she saw Zhou Liu. In the shadows, Fan Ming wiped his eyes several times, confirming he hadn’t mistaken the person. He looked up to the sky, feeling so frustrated that he wanted to cry.

He had truly mistaken the person!

Listening to the two women’s conversation, Zhou Liu’s unease grew.

“Alright!” Zhao Xiu agreed, but instead of immediately drinking the mung bean soup, she picked up a bowl and pulled Lin Fan towards the stage. “But before that, you have to come with me and help me with something.”

Lin Fan looked at Zhao Xiu in confusion but did not refuse. It wasn’t until Zhao Xiu picked up the microphone to speak that she seemed to understand something.
