Chapter 147 Misunderstanding

"Gu Xiaomei, I heard from the regimental commander that you've been reviewing high school material. Why is that? Is it possible that there will be a college entrance exam in the future?"

Shao Zijie looked at Gu Yanfei, his eyes filled with deep emotions.

Uncle Gu also said that he is very outstanding. So, could he give it a try and see if he could get closer to the girl he has secretly loved for so long?

Gu Yanfei did not notice Shao Zijie's unusual behavior.

She and Shao Zijie were actually very familiar with each other.

Shao Zijie had been a soldier under her older brother for a long time.

Not just during our time in the military, but since our teens, we've been playing together.

At that time, Shao Zijie already followed Gu Yanxiao's lead without question.

Therefore, in Gu Yanfei's heart, Shao Zijie and her brother were no different.

"Yes, that's what my sister-in-law said. Since we have nothing to do at home every day, we might as well use this time to study. That way, if the college entrance examination is reinstated in the future, we won't be completely unprepared."

Gu Yanfei smiled and nodded. She didn't foolishly say anything about Su Xiangwan's certainty that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in the future.

After living in Bakushu Village for several months, she was no longer the naive girl who was so protected that she had no sense of self-preservation.

Seeing the sparkle in Gu Yanfei's eyes when she mentioned Su Xiangwan, Shao Zijie said, "Little Sister Gu, you seem to really like your sister-in-law."

If he remembers correctly.

When they last met, Gu Yanfei still disliked Su Xiangwan.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, the relationship between the two women became so good.

"Of course! My sister-in-law is such a good person. She is not only beautiful and kind, but also smart and capable. Everyone who meets her will like her."

Gu Yanfei said with a proud look, as if anyone in the world who said they didn't like Su Xiangwan was committing a heinous crime.

Shao Zijie even suspected that if he said anything bad about Su Xiangwan, he might be kicked out of the Su residence the next moment.

“Your sister-in-law is different from before…” Shao Zijie touched his nose.

Although he had only been sitting in the room for a short time.

But now, although Su Xiangwan still looks as delicate as before, her temperament is completely different from that of the Su Xiangwan before.

This made him wonder if he had misunderstood her before.

"What nonsense are you talking about! My sister-in-law has always been a good person; it's just that we didn't really understand her before."

Sure enough, as soon as Shao Zijie said that, Gu Yanfei glared at him unhappily.

She secretly resolved that if Shao Zijie dared to say anything to slander Su Xiangwan, she would kick him out, even if it meant getting scolded by her parents.

"Oh, I see!"

Shao Zijie quickly changed his tune, nodding repeatedly: "You're right. Now that I truly understand my sister-in-law, I realize that she is a really good person."

When Gu Yanfei heard him say that, she was not happy at all. Instead, she looked at him with suspicion and suddenly said, "Something's not right, Brother Shao. You're acting very strangely today."

Shao Zijie's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is something wrong with me?"

"What you've been saying today, you're either talking about my sister-in-law or her family..."

Gu Yanfei said, looking at him warily, "Let me tell you, Su Xiangwan is my sister-in-law, my older brother's wife. They even have a child together. Don't you dare try anything with my sister-in-law! No matter how much you like her, she will never divorce my older brother!"

Shao Zijie never expected Gu Yanfei to say something like that, and he was so startled that he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "Little Sister Gu, don't talk nonsense. How could I... how could I possibly have any thoughts about your wife? Don't talk nonsense! If the regimental commander finds out, will I even be alive?"

Gu Yanfei blinked. Could it be that she guessed wrong?

But just now, Shao Zijie was chatting with her, and every single word he said was about his sister-in-law!

"Gu Xiaomei...did you hear me?!" Shao Zijie was almost in tears; he was truly more wronged than Dou E!

"Are you really not interested in my sister-in-law?" Gu Yanfei asked, frowning.

If so, she must remind her older brother not to let Shao Zijie come to their house again.

"No, no! Absolutely not, I swear!" Shao Zijie solemnly assured him, almost raising his hand to swear.

"Alright! I believe you this time. Everything's fine now. I'll head back to the lobby."

Gu Yanfei nodded, said nothing more, and walked past him into the hall.

"..." Shao Zijie watched her graceful departure, feeling like crying but unable to shed a tear.

What neither of them expected was...

In the room next door, Gu Yanxiao and Su Xiangwan were listening intently to their conversation through the window.

When Gu Yanfei heard that Shao Zijie had misunderstood and thought that he had improper thoughts about Su Xiangwan, she was shocked.

Gu Yanxiao's face darkened instantly, and he wished he could rush out and give Gu Yanfei a good beating.

They're becoming more and more unruly; can they just say whatever they want?

Su Xiangwan chuckled and tugged at Gu Yanxiao's hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

Su Xiangwan was helpless against Gu Yanfei's obliviousness.

If it were any other girl, seeing a boy hesitate to speak to her, she would more or less assume that he was in love with her.

Who would be like Gu Yanfei!

However, this is also a drawback of childhood sweethearts.

Often, this can easily lead to a situation where one person has a crush on the other, while the other person only sees it as a sibling relationship.

Shao Zijie and Gu Yanfei are clearly in this situation.

So, does that mean my second brother still has a good chance?

At most, it will be a little over a year before the reform and opening up begins.

When that time comes, it will be very convenient for my second brother to come back.

However, the situation regarding Gu Yanfei and her second brother is still somewhat unstable.

So, if possible, we should find a way to get my second brother back early.

After all, she still hoped that Gu Yanfei could be with her second brother.

Seeing Su Xiangwan lost in thought, Gu Yanxiao secretly kissed her on the lips and asked, "What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

Su Xiangwan didn't intend to hide her thoughts and told Gu Yanxiao directly.

"Are you trying to matchmake your second brother and Yan Fei?"

"Yes! Don't you think it's great to have a marriage alliance between relatives?"

Gu Yanxiao raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked, "You overlooked a problem."
