Chapter 767 My Grandma Will For Sure Like You A Lot

It was at the Western border. Sounds of cicadas chirping filled the surroundings in the early summer afternoon. Greens started spreading across the deserted border. Soldiers were marching measuredly towards the canteen. It was Friday and there would be a short holiday for the soldiers in the evening. Nines ran toward Blaine and asked, “Leader, we have the evening off today. Shall we go and walk around the town together?” Blaine gave him a glance and rejected him, “What’s so fun about walking around the town with a grown man like you?” “Well… what’s wrong with hanging out with a grown man? Is it more fun hanging out with a woman?” Sitting on the fence, Blaine stepped on the rail. His gaze was fixated on the sunset in the distance. He coldly replied, “Yes, I’m waiting for my woman for dinner. I don’t have time for you.” Nines secretly scorned him, “No way. Is Ruby flying here tonight?” “You don’t believe me?” “Leader, I’m afraid that woman is just playing with your feelings.” Blaine kept staring at the scarlet sky and suddenly, a helicopter flew across the sky. Blaine’s lips curved into a smile as he jumped down from the fence. He grabbed his belt that he took off from his waist and tapped it against his palms. He slightly lifted his brows, signalling Nines to look at the sky. “She’s here.” Nines was speechless. He frowned and turned around to look at the sky skeptically. There was really a helicopter flying in the sky. Blaine headed straight toward that direction. He patted Nines’ shoulder as he walked past him. “Please excuse me. You should find someone else to drink with you on Friday nights.” He bragged excitedly. Nines let out a hum, “Hoes before bros. I was the one who saved your life though!” Blaine knocked the belt against his palm and said without looking back, “You’ll be dead if you don’t save my life.” Nines was speechless. Well, he was the boss so he called the shots. Nines shouted behind him, “You think you’re a big deal just because you have a girlfriend?” Blaine simply waved his hand and replied leisurely, “It’s not much of a big deal, but having a girlfriend who flies a helicopter just to see her boyfriend is a big deal. The corner of Nines’ lips twitched. He looked at the helicopter gradually landing and a smile spread across his face. He thought Ruby and his leader were a good match. A normal woman would not fly a helicopter all alone to the Western border just to see her boyfriend. … Carrying her backpack on one shoulder, Ruby got off the helicopter and saw the man who was waiting for her not far away. The dry wind in the early summer brushed past his face. Blaine lowered his head to look at the watch on his wrist. It was 6:10 pm. The man lifted his head and looked at her while smiling, “You came right on time for dinner.” Ruby walked toward him and Blaine opened his arms. Ruby smiled faintly and reached out to hug him just like an ordinary girl who had not seen her boyfriend for days. She rested her chin on his broad shoulders and mocked him, “Master Blaine, you smell sweaty.” After all, he was at the border. Moreover, he had trained the soldiers for one whole day. He had not taken a bath yet so it was normal for him to smell sweaty. “Do you feel disgusted?” Blaine slightly pushed her away and stared into her eyes softly. Ruby smiled and shook her head. She pursed her red lips and held Blaine in her arms again, “I missed you a lot.” After saying that, Ruby lifted her head and gave Blaine a peck on his lips. Although the kiss was short and quick, it was warm yet seductive at the same time. His heart fluttered. Ruby was already walking forward with her backpack. Blaine strode forth, followed her, and grabbed her backpack from her shoulder. He carried her luggage in one hand while wrapping another arm around her waist. They walked toward the dormitory together. “I departed around one-ish this afternoon so I didn’t eat lunch. What are we going to have for dinner?” Blaine stared at her with his burning gaze. A teasing look flashed across his face. “I think it’s better to fill our stomachs first before we start thinking of doing anything else.” She was planning out what to do first in a serious tone. Looking at her serious face, the smile on Blaine’s face deepened. “You came all the way here for me. I’ll treat you to something nice.” Ruby raised her eyebrows, “Canteen food?” “Am I such a stingy man to you?” Ruby scanned her surroundings. The place was pretty much deserted. “What else is there to eat here?” After a few moments, Ruby suddenly thought of something. She could not help but to remind Blaine, “By the way, Master Blaine, I don’t eat grilled fish.” It was not because grilled fish did not taste nice, but people like her who were on missions all year long survived by eating grilled fish and prawns in the wild. Although she already quit that job, she did not feel like eating grilled fish for the time being. “Who said I wanted to treat you to grilled fish? I made you grilled fish the other time to show you my cooking, but a man who does that twice is surely a lame guy.” “It seems like you’re very experienced?” He spoke as though he was an expert in relationships. Ruby did not believe that was his first time dating a woman. Blaine said, “I know all these stuff because I take our relationship seriously.” The woman stared at the man’s handsome side profile with her clear gaze as a faint smile crept across her face. “I feel like kissing you again.” “Why are you holding yourself back then?” Blaine lowered his head slightly and their lips touched. The sunset elongated their shadow. … Blaine drove Ruby to town. There was a glamorous bar in town. A few tables were placed outside the bar and customers were sitting opposite to each other, chatting away happily while enjoying their food. The bar lit up as dusk fell and the sky turned dark. Blaine and Ruby were sitting outside the bar. The bar was known for Eastern-Western fusion cuisines. They served the best lamb and beef in town. They also had other delicacies as well. The lamb skewers were not yet cooked when they were served. A baking sheet was placed in the middle of the table. Blaine was in charge of grilling the lamb while Ruby’s role was to enjoy the food. “How does it taste?” Ruby commented truthfully, “This lamb must have ran around the field a lot. It’s very chewy. It doesn’t have a gamey flavor since it’s seasoned very well. It tastes delicious.” Seeing Blaine busy grilling the lamb for her, she grabbed a lamb skewer and brought it close to his mouth. Blaine did not hesitate to open his mouth and ate the food. They did not feel awkward being intimate at all. Ruby smiled and ate the lamb skewer she handed Blaine earlier. She would feed Blaine from time to time. The owner of the bar was a very warm person. That was not the first time she met Blaine as Blaine and Nine would often visit the bar during dinner time on Fridays. Her eyes lit up as she saw Ruby. She smiled and asked Blaine, “Master Blaine, is this your girlfriend?” Blaine nodded his head politely, “Yes, her name is Softie. She’s my girlfriend.” “Master Blaine, your girlfriend is such a beautiful lady. Visit our bar with her more often in the future, and I’ll give you a discount.” Staring at Ruby who was sitting opposite to him, he smiled dotingly. “Of course.” The owner of the bar gave them two bottles of beer for free. Ruby was quite a good drinker. Drinking and eating with Blaine at the same time, she was soon full. “You got a discount just because I look pretty? I’ve never encountered such situations before. If I am that pretty, can’t I just eat for free?” Blaine said thoughtfully, “If the owner is a man and you came here alone, you might get a free meal.” Ruby rested her chin on her hand and frowned. She asked Blaine in a serious manner, “But I look like someone who is not to be trifled with. Although I look pretty, I’m not exactly a lovable person.” Talking about lovable… among the girls she knew, she thought Serene was the lovable type of girl. She looked obedient and cute. Moreover, she was soft yet a little weird at the same time. Ruby was not the type that one would want to approach when they see her. Blaine was amused looking at her solemn face. Why did not he realize that Softie had such a cute side to her? “My grandma will surely like you a lot.”
