PLA officers. There were no exceptions. The truth

was, in fact, contrary to what Elephant thought. Xi Si

was determined to refuse the promising officer, but

tactfully. She didn’t want to hurt him too much. She

was thinking of how to express her refusal.

Elephant reported what she had heard from Xi Si

to Cock. He immediately reported the misunderstood

news to the regimental commander. The commander

was overjoyed and figured that was what he had

estimated. That was his success. How could Xi Si

refuse him - an officer with a bright future? He

decided to celebrate. The celebration was arranged in

a restaurant of high grade.

Xi Si didn’t want to go to the appointment. She

stressed that she was not fit to be a wife to that

promising officer. But Elephant dragged her to the

restaurant without giving her a chance to explain.
