When he came to the venue, Tan Renhao's mood was much better. He didn't expect that Rear Admiral Liao Hanxiang would take a fancy to him, a newly graduated second lieutenant officer, and even wrote a letter to Principal Nie Renfeng, asking him to be sent to the Fifth Fleet. Of course, there were many things that he hadn't thought of.

"Renhao, where did you kid go, let me look for it for a long time!" Lei Shaoqing didn't know where it came from, and he arrived at Tan Renhao's side at once, "The dance party is about to start in five minutes, are you going to go up and play the clown?" ”

Tan Renhao smiled awkwardly, and at the same time noticed the girl who was next to Lei Shaoqing wearing a nursing school uniform with a few freckles on her face. It was an unwritten rule at the Imperial Naval Academy's graduation ball that the first dance was to be performed by ten of the best graduates of the year, and of course, they had to find a suitable dance partner first. If you can't find a dance partner, you'll be called a "clown". Of course, there is no shortage of super-generals of empires in history who have served as clowns at proms. For example, Vice Admiral Jiang Bangguo (Jiang Zhongmin's grandfather), the commander of the Second Fleet, played the role of "clown" at the graduation ball that year, but this did not prevent him from becoming a famous admiral of the Imperial Navy.

"Come with me, I've got a dance partner for you, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied!" Lei Shaoqing couldn't care so much, so he pulled Tan Renhao and drilled into the crowd.

"Shaoqing, what are you doing......

Before he finished speaking, Tan Renhao saw the nurse who had been with him in the hospital for a month. Sure enough, as Lei Shaoqing said, she is a graduate of the School of Nursing this year. However, there are two other people next to her, one of whom is Fan Peikun and the other is Fan Peikun's roommate.

"Renhao, what's the matter, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Lei Shaoqing looked a little excited, "Let me introduce you, this is ......"

"My name is Liao Yingyu, you are Second Lieutenant Tan Renhao, right?" The female nurse generously held out her hand. "However, the last time I saw you, you were lying in a hospital bed!"

Tan Renhao shook hands with Liao Yingyu a little embarrassed. "Miss Yingyu, I appreciate your care, in fact, ......"

"Miss Yingyu, can I be honored to invite you to be my dance partner?" At this time, Fan Peikun interrupted the conversation between the two people, and looked at Tan Renhao with a slight provocation.

"Hey......" Lei Shaoqing's reaction was far stronger than Tan Renhao.

"What, we arrived first, don't you know the rules of first come, first served!" Fan Peikun's roommate immediately greeted him.

Tan Renhao pulled down Lei Shaoqing, he didn't want to make trouble here, and he didn't like to make trouble.

"Second Lieutenant Tan Renhao, according to the rules, shouldn't I invite a dance partner first?" Fan Peikun looked a little arrogant. This is another unspoken rule of the Imperial Naval Academy, and those who have priority will be given priority in inviting dance partners.

"Second Lieutenant Fan Peikun, it depends on whether the other party accepts your invitation!" Tan Renhao also became a little angry, he was particularly unaccustomed to Fan Peikun's arrogant appearance, and then, he smiled and said to Liao Yingyu, "Miss Yingyu, can you be my dance partner?" ”

Liao Yingyu smiled and put her hand on Tan Renhao's elbow, she had already made her choice. Tan Renhao glanced at Fan Peikun with a smile, then brushed aside the roommate of Fan Peikun who was in front of him and walked towards the center of the dance hall.

"Humph!" Lei Shaoqing sneered at Fan Peikun very arrogantly, and also walked into the dance hall with the dance partner he had invited.

With the sound of a snare drum, the lights on the dance floor dimmed a lot, and then the light dance music played. Only nine pairs danced the first dance, and it was soon noticed that this year's recipient of the Golden Sea Lion Medal, Van Pei Kun, did not show up. However, this did not affect everyone's mood, because it was the festival of another five hundred and ninety-nine young officers who had just officially joined the Imperial Navy!

The second dance music began as dozens of other couples entered the dance arena. The nine couples who had previously taken the stage will not be able to leave until the end of the second dance.

"I heard that you and Second Lieutenant Lei Shaoqing are both from Wenzhou?" It's a great way to communicate in a low voice while dancing.

Tan Renhao smiled and nodded. "Yes, we all sneaked out to join the army, do you believe it?"

"Of course I do!" Liao Yingyu also laughed, "There are many big businessmen from Wenzhou, but there are not many generals. I heard that Admiral Zheng Haisi also ran away from home back then, then joined the Imperial Navy, and finally became a famous general of the Imperial Navy, I think, you won't come to the Imperial Navy for this reason, right? ”

"Let's put it this way, I was forced to join the army, as for what the reason is, then you can only guess!" Tan Renhao has not been in love once in his three years of military school life, but as a native of Wenzhou, coupled with the frequent "teachings" of Lei Shaoqing, a "playboy", he is very good at grasping the mentality of girls.

"So, what's the reward if I guess right?" Liao Yingyu is obviously interested in spying on other people's privacy, which may be a common problem among women.

"If you guessed, how about I date you first after graduation?" Tan Renhao laughed.

"If it's going to Matsue's 'Bonaparte', then I can consider it!"

"No problem, at most I will save all the allowances for the first half of the year, but you will have to wait for the first half of the year!"

Both laughed at the same time, the allowance for a naval ensign officer was very low, and the "Bonaparte Restaurant" in Matsue was a top-notch French restaurant. At this time, the dance music ended, and the two followed the others out of the dance hall.

Tan Renhao glanced at Liao Yingyu, and after asking for permission, the two walked into the dance arena again, and the third dance song would be a fast-paced bullfighting dance. Next, Tan Renhao danced three dances with Liao Yingyu in a row, and it wasn't until the nurses were ready to go back that the two of them left the dance venue a little reluctantly. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

When Liao Yingyu was sent to the school gate, the two stopped. At the same time, a note with a mailing address was exchanged, which was a hint and signal for the further development of the relationship. Then the two said goodbye a little unsatisfied.

When he was about to get into the car, Liao Yingyu suddenly stopped, turned around and said loudly to Tan Renhao: "Escape marriage, the second lieutenant remembers the 'Bonaparte restaurant'!" ”

Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, Liao Yingyu did not forget that joke.
