Chapter 13 "Sorry, I've mistaken you for someone else." Why are you running away! ...

A knock sounded at the door, and Zhao Shuyi opened it to find Zheng Jingcheng holding breakfast in his hand.

There are steamed buns and soy milk.

"This is breakfast I brought for you."

Zhao Shuyi paused, then quickly accepted, "Thank you, please come in and talk."

Zheng Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, but still went inside.

Seeing that Zhao Shuyi hadn't closed the door, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the ears didn't turn red this time.

"Comrade Zheng, it's like this, I ran into Gu Yan on the street yesterday, oh, that's my fiancé. He's going back to Yunnan Province tomorrow, and I plan to go with him, so I won't trouble you."

Zheng Jingcheng immediately frowned.

"What a coincidence? Are you sure there's no problem?"

"I'm sure, it's quite a coincidence, they seem to be here on a mission as well."

Look at how shocked he is. If he knew they met late at night, he would be too shocked to speak.

"Okay, we might have to stay for another two days. Be careful and contact the train police if you need anything."

He was referring to being on the train.

Hearing the other person's words of concern, Zhao Shuyi felt somewhat guilty.

Whether it was Secretary Zheng or Zheng Jingcheng, they were both genuinely trying to help him, but he always harbored prejudice against them because of the original book.

Although she knew it wasn't right for her to act this way, Zhao Shuyi didn't intend to change, since she might never see him again anyway.

I just hope that next time we meet, Gu Yan won't be discharged from the military due to injury, and the other person won't be promoted and receive a raise.

She can't help but be prejudiced just by thinking about that scene.

Despite having many thoughts in her mind, Zhao Shuyi still politely said thank you again.

We won't discuss what will happen in the future, but the help we received before was genuine.

"You're welcome. I'll be going now. Take care," the other person said again.

Zhao Shuyi nodded and said, "You too, everything is going well. Please tell Secretary Zheng and Comrade Zhu Yi for me."

Logically speaking, Zhu Yi should have thanked her in person for protecting her like that.

But Zhu Yi seemed to treat her only as a task target, someone who would follow Zheng Jingcheng's orders.

There's no need for me to disrupt other people's order.

Having completed all the necessary tasks yesterday, Zhao Shuyi didn't rush out but stayed obediently in her room.

Summers in Shanghai are quite hot. There are several sycamore trees in the courtyard of the guesthouse, and cicadas are chirping wildly, which really gives you a summery feeling.

Zhao Shuyi found a pen and paper and tried to write down the things she might need. She planned to go shopping again in the afternoon.

I've heard that Yunnan Province is very remote, and the environment for military service is even worse. You might not even be able to buy what you want when the time comes, so it's definitely a good idea to prepare in advance.

Gu Yan promised to pick her up the next day, but he didn't show up.

Zhao Shuyi wasn't exactly disappointed, but she felt that the other person probably didn't have any real feelings for her.

But then I thought, I was only using him, so how could I expect him to open his heart to me?

If Zhao Shuyi weren't in her current position or living in this era, she would never have married herself off so easily.

Fortunately, she didn't have high hopes for married life, so she wouldn't be unable to accept a divorce if the time came.

With this in mind, Zhao Shuyi felt completely at ease.

Aside from shopping, she spends her free time tidying up her room.

It's incredibly rewarding to watch your little world slowly transform into the way you like.

She can fill her space with flowers without worrying about others saying she's a capitalist's daughter.

She can still do many things and has absolute freedom in this world.

Zhao Shuyi thought that the house was just the first step; she could also build roads and bridges. She was willing to try anything that she could.

The environment had become somewhat sensitive by then, but books could still be bought in the bookstore, so she went there again.

However, fearing being discovered, Zhao Shuyi didn't buy too many at once, only about ten books.

She left two or three practical technology books outside, and put the rest into her spatial storage.

Among them were two or three books about architecture.

Learning such a highly complex technology from scratch must be a very difficult task.

But since she hasn't figured out her future path yet, perhaps she can try everything.

Perhaps in ten years I can still go to university and study a major I like.

With books, Zhao Shuyi had something to do to pass the time.

Time seemed to fly by before evening arrived. She washed herself thoroughly before lying down in bed.

The next few days will be spent on the train, which will definitely make it inconvenient to wash up; just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

Before going to sleep, Zhao Shuyi was thinking in a daze.

If Gu Yan were to book a hard-seat train for her, she might seriously reconsider whether or not she should marry him.

The next day was another clear and sunny day.

The sound of cicadas chirping came from outside, and Zhao Shuyi got out of bed.

Gu Yan arrived right after I finished washing up.

"All packed up, do you need any help?"

Their attitude was fairly polite.

Zhao Shuyi shook her head. "Everything's packed. Let's go."

The two walked out of the guesthouse together, and Gu Yan took her to have breakfast. After asking her what she wanted to eat, Gu Yan took care of everything.

"We have plenty of time after eating. Is there anything we need to buy?"

He was so considerate that Zhao Shuyi felt a little embarrassed to bring up the question of whether to choose a hard sleeper or a hard seat.

Taking the soy milk from the other person, Zhao Shuyi said thank you, "I've bought everything I need, no need to trouble yourself."

"Mm." The other person responded, and neither of them spoke again, just lowering their heads and eating in silence.

Zhao Shuyi was quite puzzled. How did people manage to get married and have children after only meeting once or twice?

We're not familiar with each other at all.

Gu Yan carried a bag and consciously helped Zhao Shuyi carry her suitcase the whole time, while Zhao Shuyi only took a net bag containing some food.

The situation was actually quite good, but Zhao Shuyi couldn't find anything to say to the other person for a moment.

The train station was very crowded with people coming and going.

And it has all kinds of flavors.

Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but frown slightly, standing next to Gu Yan without saying a word.

"Just bear with it for now, you'll feel better once you get on the bus."

There were too many people and it was very noisy, so Zhao Shuyi couldn't hear him clearly. She stood on tiptoe and asked, "What did you say?"

Gu Yan moved closer, and before he could speak, he placed a hand on Zhao Shuyi's shoulder.

Be careful.

The voice was loud, but it wasn't directed at her.

Zhao Shuyi turned around and saw a man in his thirties who smiled at them and said, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

After he finished speaking, he stood on tiptoe and looked around, as if he were looking for someone.

His smile made Zhao Shuyi feel a little uncomfortable, and she subconsciously moved a little closer to Gu Yan.

In this way, Zhao Shuyi almost clung to Gu Yan's arms.

The other person was so tall that standing in front of him felt like she was being enclosed in a small world, which made Zhao Shuyi feel a little uncomfortable.

But in this noisy crowd, having someone protecting you like this undoubtedly makes you feel very safe.

I don't know what Gu Yan ate to grow up so tall and strong.

Just as Zhao Shuyi was lost in thought, a girl a few meters away from her suddenly shouted loudly.

"Who are you? Don't touch me! I don't know you at all!"

"Help! Let me go!"

Zhao Shuyi turned around and bumped into Gu Yan's arm, but she didn't care because she realized that the person holding the girl was the man who had been standing behind her just now.

The man was wearing an open shirt just now, but now he's only wearing a vest underneath, so you wouldn't recognize him if you didn't look closely.

Although it's just taking off clothes and doesn't mean anything, Zhao Shuyi just felt inexplicably uneasy.

She turned to look at Gu Yan, but Gu Yan spoke first.

"Go take a look, and stay close to me."

"good."

With him around, Zhao Shuyi felt much more at ease.

The two were still arguing.

"Let go of me! I told you I don't know you, why are you touching me like that!"

"We're getting married soon, you can't run away!"

"Who said I wanted to marry you? Let go of me!"

"No, you're coming back with me today no matter what!"

"No! I don't know you!"

The young girl clearly didn't know how to deal with a man who was clinging to her so persistently, so she could only cry and refuse to let him pull her away.

But she was clearly no match for the man's strength. Just as she was about to be dragged away, the onlookers assumed she was the man's supposed runaway fiancée.

Perhaps someone noticed something was wrong, but dared not speak up to help.

If it was truly intentional, then the man was definitely not alone; he must have had accomplices.

Zhao Shuyi glanced around and said, "You say you don't know him, then tell me why you're here alone and where you're going?"

There were too many people, and Zhao Shuyi was almost huddled in front of Gu Yan, so no one noticed who had spoken.

However, many people follow the crowd; when they hear a topic that interests them, they will naturally ask follow-up questions.

Sure enough, someone quickly echoed the sentiment.

"Yes, and you too. You say she's your fiancée, what proof do you have?"

"She's my future wife, what proof do you need? You wouldn't happen to be the other guy who pushed her to leave, would you?"

The man spoke fiercely, and a young man who had spoken up for him was yelled at and forced to take several steps back.

The girl shouted, "I don't know him at all! I'm a military dependent accompanying a soldier to Yunnan Province. Breaking up a military marriage is illegal! Help me find the police to arrest him!"

Everyone was surprised by these words.

These are military family members, how can everyone just treat this as a show!

Zhao Shuyi was also somewhat surprised. Since she was a military dependent, why didn't she say so earlier? As a result, she was forced into this situation.

"What do you mean by accompanying the military? You're talking nonsense, but at least there's some truth to it. You can't just make up stories about soldiers. Do you want to be imprisoned?"

The man's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't give up and still tried to pull the girl away.

"I already told you I don't know you, let me go!"

At this moment, several railway police officers finally squeezed through.

“I can vouch for her; she’s not lying. Are you a relative of Commander Zhang?” Gu Yan stepped forward.

Zhao Shuyi was surprised. Did he also guess that something was wrong with the man before saying that?

To everyone's surprise, the little girl looked at Gu Yan with teary eyes and nodded repeatedly, "You know my brother!"

They actually do know each other!

Why didn't he say so sooner?

The train police officer looked at Gu Yan, then at the man, and asked, "What's going on?"

Gu Yan took out his military officer's ID card from his bag and handed it to the train police officer. Then, he turned around, grabbed a man who was trying to escape from the crowd, and pulled him up with his long arm.

He grabbed the person and threw them to the ground in one swift motion.

The force was so great that everyone present immediately fell silent.

Some people in the crowd even backed away.

"Why are you running!" someone shouted. Unexpectedly, the man suddenly became fierce. Fortunately, the man who shouted at him was also skilled in martial arts and immediately grabbed the man.

Applause suddenly broke out from somewhere in the crowd.

Then everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Because someone was arrested, a statement had to be taken. Gu Yan didn't protect Zhao Shuyi when he left, so Zhao Shuyi was also questioned. Zhao Shuyi had no reason to hide anything and told him everything.

After the statement was taken, it was almost time for the train to depart, so Gu Yan took Zhao Shuyi to the platform.

"Wait, Battalion Commander Gu, Comrade Zhao, wait for me."

A woman's voice sounded from behind them, and the two turned around at the same time. It was the little girl who had almost been kidnapped.
