Gu Zixiao was already used to Lan Yao's reactions.

He said "Oh," and walked over. "Then could you please not slap my face?"

"How can I slap you if I don't hit you in the face? It seems you're not being sincere at all."

"Fine! Go ahead and hit me. Anyway, you're the one who created this face," Gu Zixiao said slowly.

He didn't say anything, so no one noticed his face.

Commander Li exclaimed, "Gu Zixiao, how come you've gotten even more beautiful since you went out?"

Gu Zixiao was pretty before, but not as beautiful as she is now, like a fairy.

Well, although she looks like a fairy, her masculine features are still quite obvious, and she also has a bit of a heroic air.

However, when Lan Yao and Yao stand together, Lan Yao is more dashing.

Gu Zixiao was like Lan Yao's little darling.

Emma!

The more I look at it, the more something seems off.

Commander Li scratched his head, deciding not to waste his brain cells.

Because Commander Li was so loud and boisterous, Political Commissar Zhang couldn't help but take a closer look as well.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and what you find is astonishing.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Gu Zixiao, what did you eat? Otherwise, what's wrong with your face?"

It's so damn good-looking.

Even this grown man couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Lei Shengrong nudged Wang Zhenfeng, who was standing in the corner watching the show: "Commander Li, Political Commissar Zhang, take another look at Wang Zhenfeng."

Wang Zhenfeng: ...

He glared fiercely at Lei Shengrong, who, not wanting to miss an opportunity to stir up trouble, asked, "Between him and Gu Zixiao, who is more handsome?"

Commander Li and Political Commissar Zhang's attention was immediately drawn to Wang Zhenfeng.

Commander Li exclaimed in surprise, "Wang Zhenfeng, how come you, a rough old man with a particularly dark complexion, have suddenly become so fair-skinned? And your skin is so smooth, and you seem to look much better than before."

Political Commissar Zhang nodded in agreement: "Tell me, what exactly is going on between you two?"

Wang Zhenfeng turned his gaze to Lan Yao: "What else could it be? I met a kind person. They probably couldn't stand my dark complexion, so they upgraded my appearance so I can find a wife without any problems."

Commander Li couldn't help but complain, "Looking at you now, which young lady would want to marry you?"

If someone is prettier than the girl, she'll be jealous.

While Commander Li and Political Commissar Zhang were discussing Wang Zhenfeng, Gu Zixiao asked Lan Yao, "This time, you should finally tell me your real name, right?"

Lan Yao glanced at him: "Fine. My name is Lan Yao. I'm married to your subordinate Wang Lei, and I'm here to fulfill our marriage agreement."

Gu Zixiao raised an eyebrow: "I seem to remember Wang Lei got married."

It was on the very day he accepted the mission to escort Wang Qianqian.

Lan Yao asked in surprise, "What did you say? You said Wang Lei got married?"

"Of course. Would I lie to you? I'm not some little liar like you, always trying to cheat people," Gu Zixiao retorted.

Lan Yao chuckled and reminded her, "Would you like me to help you recall what your expression was like when you first met me?"

After Lan Yao finished speaking, she imitated Gu Zixiao's manner, her eyes filled with contempt, looking superior, and said with a half-smile, "Fool, you really disappoint me."

Gu Zixiao: ...

Being slapped in the face right in front of him, how can that not be considered a slap in the face?

Gu Zixiao couldn't help but ask, "Was I like this before?"

"Don't you know that yourself?" Lan Yao continued to mimic his manner, acting as if he were an idiot.

Gu Zixiao: ...

Oh my god!

Can you please stop doing this? It looks terrible.

"……I was wrong."

Lan Yao: "You can be wrong? You are the high and mighty Gu Zixiao."

I'm just short of calling him an idiot.

Gu Zixiao sighed, "I was really wrong."

Being humiliated to face by someone powerful is incredibly embarrassing; it's practically his darkest moment.

Lan Yao snorted: "Gu Zixiao, you're not the only smart person in this world. As the saying goes, there are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Do you really think you're invincible just because you're so capable? Dream on."

Gu Zixiao felt a warmth in his heart when he heard Lan Yao's sincere teaching.

He sincerely apologized: "I was wrong. I apologize for what I did before. I promise I won't do it again."

Gu Zixiao didn't want to encounter another person who would come right up to him and start a fight.

That's so embarrassing.

This was only because the person in front of him was Lan Yao; otherwise, he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"I'll forgive you since you sincerely apologized."

"Okay. I knew you were a kind girl."

Lan Yao smiled enigmatically: "Are you disappointed that you know I'm a girl? Aren't you going to keep clamoring to marry me?"

Gu Zixiao: "It's alright? I'm attracted to you as a person. Whether you're a man or a woman, I will marry you."

"Oh, you want to marry into my family? And have me support you? Dream on."

"I can marry into your family and earn money to support you," Gu Zixiao responded quickly and stated directly.

Lan Yao chuckled twice: "I'm not interested in random men who come to me for help."

Gu Zixiao: "As long as I'm interested, I'll keep pestering you until you agree."

Lan Yao ignored him and instead said to Political Commissar Zhang, "When exactly is Wang Lei arriving? I already know from his dear regimental commander that he's already married."

Political Commissar Zhang froze instantly. He turned around, his smile becoming even more awkward.

"Ah, this..."

Gu Zixiao smiled and said, "Political Commissar Zhang, we must side with what is right, not with relatives. Since Comrade Lan said she is Wang Lei's fiancée, then she must be."
