Xu Shu was both surprised and delighted, and reached out to stop Zhou Qiqi.

Zhou Qiqi rolled her eyes so hard that the whites of her eyes almost rolled to the top of her head.

She was secretly relieved that Xu Shu hadn't chased after her when she left.

I've already decided that when I go back later, I'll sneak out the back door to avoid running into someone and causing trouble.

Who would have thought that before they even got back, they'd run into each other outside.

What a twist of fate! What utter bad luck!

She took a half step back and shouted in a shrill voice, "Don't touch me! Or I'll call the police!"

A person's appearance can change quickly, but their voice is not so easy to change.

The familiar voice entered his ears, and Xu Shu's misty peach blossom eyes immediately lit up as he hurriedly moved forward.

"Qiqi, it really is you!"

Zhou Qiqi held her hand horizontally, effectively blocking the person an arm's length away.

"We're not that close, so please call me Zhou Qiqi with your full name."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shu's face immediately fell.

"How could we not know each other? We've been childhood sweethearts, you're my childhood sweetheart!"

Zhou Qiqi glared at him impatiently.

"Stop! What you're talking about is all ancient history, old news from back then! How dare you bring that up! Have you forgotten that you were the one who took me to the train station to marry into the army?"

These words struck a nerve with Xu Shu. Knowing he was in the wrong, he touched the tip of his nose and looked around nervously.

"Why didn't you call or send me a message when you arrived safely at the military base? I've been worried sick about you for so long."

"Oh,"

Zhou Qiqi stared at his hypocritical appearance and felt disgusted.

Xu Shu knew the original owner's personality well. She held onto this man like a lifeline, so how could she bear to be kicked away?

She had suicidal thoughts very early on.

After being taken to the train station by Xu Shu, he didn't even get on the train. In the dead of night, he walked along the railway tracks for more than ten miles, found a deserted river, and jumped in.

When she first transmigrated, Zhou Qiqi could still feel the intense sense of despair emanating from her.

To a certain extent, Xu Shu is the murderer who killed the original owner of this body!

She wouldn't give Xu Shu any kind look, and rolled her eyes again, saying sarcastically.

"If you're really that concerned, why didn't you call the military region to ask? You're waiting for me to call you? I don't even know where you work or live, why would I call you?"

"Too..."

Xu Shu was a little embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly, but he was thick-skinned and not ashamed at all. He moved closer and asked the next question.

"Hey, is Shen Huaichuan good to you?"

"What's it to you?"

Zhou Qiqi was too lazy to reply to him, but he answered on his own.

"He's a bit fierce, not very caring, not like your brother Xu Shu. But he's still a soldier, with a decent allowance. Seeing you in new clothes and buying meat, he's probably willing to spend money on you. You and him, are you already...?"

When he said the last sentence, he was a little timid, his voice became much softer, and he even swallowed and glanced at Zhou Qiqi's chest.

Back in the village, Zhou Qiqi always wore her mother's old cloth jacket, which was baggy and didn't show any figure.

He finally discovered it today; she was quite well-endowed, with a curvaceous figure that far surpassed Lin Yao's. His throat tightened at the sight.

Zhou Qiqi didn't hear the second half of his sentence, but she was disgusted by his greasy eyes and felt like vomiting. She reached into her canvas bag, took out a small glass bottle, and shook it at him.

"Stop with the nonsense! Speak! What is it? If you keep dawdling, I'm going to throw chili water on you!"

"No, no, no! Please, Qiqi, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"

Xu Shu shrank back in fright, hurriedly covering his face, leaving only his misty eyes peeking out, while throwing flirtatious glances and feigning pitifulness.

"That, about Lin Yao... her job at the military hospital, could you talk to Shen Huaichuan and ask him to put in a good word for her and see if he can make an exception..."

Zhou Qiqi knew he was going to bring this up immediately, so she interrupted him directly, raising an eyebrow and asking.

"Wait... Lin Yao? What does Lin Yao have to do with you? I remember clearly, you said you didn't know her at all back at the hospital!"

"This...this..."

Xu Shu was taken aback when Zhou Qiqi suddenly asked him this question. He was momentarily speechless and stammered for a long time before finally answering.

"We met after that day, right? We were both jilted by our fiancés, so... so... so naturally we ended up together."

What does it mean to be jilted by a potential engagement?

Zhou Qiqi rolled her eyes in exasperation. It seemed that Xu Shu still hadn't learned his lesson.

"It was you and Lin Yao who wanted to break off the engagement, get that straight! Stop talking nonsense and spreading rumors! Have you no shame?"

She tried to correct him, but Xu Shu ignored her and shamelessly moved forward.

"Qiqi, I know you're still angry with your brother Xu Shu for not marrying you, but this is the situation now. Please, for the sake of our past relationship, help me out and talk to Shen Huaichuan."

"In the past?"

Zhou Qiqi sneered and squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.

"I haven't even settled the scores with you from before! How dare you bring it up?"

What kind of relationship does she have with the Xu family?

She was only six or seven years old at the time. The Xu family took over all of her family's property, but they didn't treat her well. They treated her like a maid, leaving her hungry and cold, and frequently beating and scolding her.

Just thinking about the suffering the original owner of this body endured in the past made Zhou Qiqi feel waves of pain in her heart.
