Last life, Lu Zhixia was schemed against by her scumbag husband's family until she was completely drained. The outwardly gentle husband secretly hoarded a huge amount of savings, and her obedie...
Xiao Zhang wiped his neck, turned around and saw this scene. Wow, the captain really knows how to flirt!
His eyes are so captivating!
If he were a woman, he would fall for her too!
Lu Zhixia felt her face getting hot, so she quickly wiped his face and tossed him the towel.
"Alright, you can wipe it yourself now."
Gu Lingxiao didn't say anything and continued wiping his neck with the towel.
Su Lan came in from outside, still carrying a cloth bag. She put it on the ground and said to them,
"They are old clothes from home, patched, but very clean."
Remembering that she also needed to change her clothes, Lu Zhixia quickly said, "Sister Lan, I'll take my clothes and come to your house to change."
“I’ll wait for you,” Su Lan said.
Lu Zhixia took out dry clothes from the bag. She had been through so much trouble all night, and if she kept going, she wouldn't have any clothes to change into.
They took clean clothes and went home with Su Lan, so that everyone could easily change their clothes.
I quickly changed my clothes, sat down on the stool, and drank the hot water in my cup. At that moment, I felt incredibly happy.
Su Lan walked over from the door and sat down. "It doesn't feel like the rain will last much longer. This night has been quite a hassle."
"Indeed, I didn't expect it to rain so heavily."
After finishing the water in her glass, Lu Zhixia stood up and said to Su Lan,
"I'll go back first, you should get some rest."
"Let me know if anything happens!" Su Lan told the person as she saw them to the door.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Lu Zhixia noticed through the window that the rain outside had stopped, and when she opened the door, she found that it was indeed the case. So she quickly took small steps back to the front door and opened it.
I saw that the two of them had changed their clothes again and were sitting on benches.
“I see it’s not raining much outside, so Xiao Zhang and I will go back now,” Gu Lingxiao said, standing up.
Lu Zhixia said, "Then be careful when you drive on the road. It just rained heavily, and there will definitely be water in some sections of the road. If you don't know how deep the puddles are, don't try to drive through them."
Gu Lingxiao, knowing that Lu Zhixia was afraid of thunder, and that there would be no one in the house after they left, said with concern,
"I don't think there will be any more thunder. If you're scared, go find Sister Lan and sleep with her."
"Yes, I know." Lu Zhixia felt embarrassed again when she thought about how she had practically slept on someone all night last time.
"See you tomorrow, Sister Xia!" Xiao Zhang continued.
After seeing them off and watching them walk away one after the other, Lu Zhixia closed the door.
I mopped the floor, then soaked my feet before going to bed.
I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but I fell asleep shortly after closing my eyes.
She was awakened by a knock on the door. She rubbed her eyes, threw off the covers, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and yawned as she went to the door and gently opened it.
She saw Aunt Pang standing at the door with a rooster in her left hand and two fish in her right, looking at her with a big smile.
"We really owe Captain Gu and his team last night, otherwise my family would have been in big trouble!" Aunt Pang said as she put the things on the ground. "These are all fresh, I just bought them from a vendor."
"What are you doing? You shouldn't be giving me things." Lu Zhixia quickly took the things out. "It's not like I put out the fire."
“It’s the same to give it to you. When my husband comes back, I’m going to make a banner and personally deliver it to the army with him!” Aunt Pang said with her hands on her hips and a smile. “Soldiers are really amazing. The fire last night was huge. If it weren’t for them desperately pouring water to put it out, my little house would have been burned to ashes long ago.”
Just then, another group of people walked over from the side, some carrying canned pastries and others carrying small baskets filled with eggs.
"Comrade Lu, thanks to you all for putting out the fire last night, otherwise if our whole building had burned down, it would have been terrible!"
"You bet I am! I get chills just thinking about it now, because I live right upstairs!"
"These things are for you. Don't think it's too little. It's just a token of our appreciation."
"No, I can't accept your things!" Lu Zhixia felt their sincerity, but she hadn't put out the fire, so how could she accept their things?
"Don't be embarrassed. Captain Gu only came here because of you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to put out the fire, so this should be yours!" After saying that, the man put down the item and left.
Seeing this, the others did the same, dropping their things and running away.
Lu Zhixia wanted to go out and chase people away, but Aunt Pang stopped her.
"Let me catch up with them and return the things to them!"
Aunt Pang pushed the person back, "Don't go. These are all gifts from everyone. We gave them to you to put our minds at ease. If you return them, we'll feel uncomfortable."
"But this is too much!" Lu Zhixia looked at the pile of things on the ground with a helpless expression.
