Han Qiushi held up the clothes he had chosen and couldn't help but hold them up against Lin Xiaoxiao, saying, "When I saw this dress, I thought it would look great on you."

"Would you like to try them on now? And the shoes, I see a lot of people wearing them, I'd like you to try them on too."

Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to say no, as she could wear the usual size, but seeing Han Qiushi's expectant look, she nodded almost unconsciously.

"You go wash up, I'll go change my clothes."

"Okay." Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao had agreed, Han Qiushi quickly arranged for himself to take a bath. He wanted to finish quickly so that he could see Xiaoxiao wearing the clothes he had bought for her.

Lin Xiaoxiao took the clothes into the room, pulled out several pairs of pants from the closet, and looked at which pair matched the coat best. After working on them for a while, she finally put on the whole outfit.

Lin Xiaoxiao went out after hearing footsteps outside the door.

When Lin Xiaoxiao stood in front of Han Qiushi, she first glanced at herself to see if she had straightened her clothes, and then looked up to ask Han Qiushi how he was.

But seeing the angle of Han Qiushi's upturned lips and his eyes filled with stars, Lin Xiaoxiao shut up. There was no need to ask anymore; she would definitely look good in it.

And look, he's turned 26-year-olds into complete idiots.

"Xiaoxiao, you look so beautiful in that." From the moment Lin Xiaoxiao came out, Han Qiushi's eyes never left her; he wished he could stick to her.

"Isn't it pretty? I think it's alright too. You have great taste," Lin Xiaoxiao replied.

Han Qiushi stared at him for a moment, his Adam's apple bobbing twice. He slowly clenched his fists at his sides and looked away with great difficulty. "If you're good-looking, you'll look good in anything."

Lin Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "The clothes are very nice, but don't buy any more. I have a lot of clothes myself. If I like other styles, I can ask my aunt or grandma to make them for me."

Buying food is fine, and it can also appease other people's eyes, but there's plenty of space in the clothing section. Speaking of which, she still likes the post-apocalyptic high-tech clothes the most. They're not only temperature-controlled, but also radiation-proof, fireproof, and waterproof. In short, they're very convenient and comfortable to wear.

Han Qiushi obediently agreed, "Okay."

He verbally agreed, but whether or not he actually bought it was not up to him. It wasn't that he wanted to spend the money, but rather that he wanted to see Xiaoxiao become more and more beautiful and radiant wearing the clothes he bought for her.

After finishing the conversation about clothes, Han Qiushi took out a yellow file folder from the room. "This is a reward and commendation document from above, for your tireless help in capturing the enemy agent."

Awards and bonuses are usually given to the person in question, who can also share their experiences and insights with everyone. However, the distance was too far, so Han Qiushi was asked to bring them back.

Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, took the file folder, and opened it. The first thing she saw was the commendation document, a red certificate of honor, an envelope containing 1,000 yuan, and finally an employment application form.

Lin Xiaoxiao pointed to the job application form and asked, "What's this?"

Han Qiushi looked at her with admiration. "Last time, when you captured an enemy agent, your story of digging out a landmine with your bare hands spread throughout the army. The leader asked me to ask you if you would like to join the army."

What he didn't say was that the reason he was able to come back this time was because his superiors valued Lin Xiaoxiao's abilities and wanted him to take people back to report.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt her face getting hot under Han Qiushi's gaze. She turned her head slightly, avoiding his gaze, and pouted, saying, "You know I have no interest in that."

Han Qiushi silently moved behind Lin Xiaoxiao and said with a smile, "Of course I know, but the point isn't this mission. The point is that I can take this opportunity to see you."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "You have so many little schemes up your sleeve, does your boss know?"

"Whether you know it or not, you and I are the closest in the whole team," Han Qiushi said with a rather proud air.

Seeing that Han Qiushi's smile couldn't hide his exhaustion, Lin Xiaoxiao urged him to go and rest first: "Go to your room and get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Han Qiushi did whatever she wanted, and the two of them walked hand in hand to the door of the room.

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Then I'm going to sleep too." Just as she was about to turn around and go back to her room, she found that she couldn't move. Han Qiushi was holding her hand tightly, and she couldn't move an inch.

The moon was very bright that night, bright enough to see the burning light in Han Qiushi's eyes.

Han Qiushi pulled Lin Xiaoxiao into his arms and asked in a low, husky voice, "Is it okay?"

Lin Xiaoxiao glared at Han Qiushi and replied in a low voice, "If you're a man, hurry up." She couldn't stand being stared at like that for long.

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a slightly cold temperature on my lips. As time went on, my lips became hotter and hotter, and my neck became more and more sore.

"Mmm..." Because she was too excited, Lin Xiaoxiao bit her lip and couldn't help but make a weak sound.

The sound made Han Qiushi tense up, and he quickly released the person.

"I...I promise, I'll be more careful next time. Go to sleep earlier." After saying that, she turned and ran away.

If he didn't leave, he really didn't know what kind of beastly things he would do next.

Seeing Han Qiushi flee in panic, Lin Xiaoxiao could roughly guess what had happened, and she chuckled softly as she returned to her room.

The next day, Lin Xiaoxiao woke up naturally as usual.

She instinctively went into the space to wash up, but only came out to brush her teeth and wash her face after hearing Han Qiushi and Shandian's voices outside the door.

After getting ready, they found that Han Qiushi had already prepared a simple breakfast. The two were eating and chatting when they heard a knock on the courtyard door.

Han Qiushi went to open the door and found Wang Chunhua carrying in a large fish, a really big one.

Judging by the size of the fish, it must weigh at least five or six pounds. Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Where did you get this fish? It's so big!"

Not to mention supply and marketing cooperatives, you rarely see one this big even on the black market.

Wang Chunhua replied with a smile, "These are my brother and some of his friends from the village doing ice fishing in the river over there. The fish are especially fat this year."

"My parents asked me to bring you one to eat."

Lin Xiaoxiao then remembered that with the weather so cold and snow for so many days, the river surface had long been frozen solid, and ice fishing was a traditional winter activity in Northeast China.

For the past few months, almost every household has been staying at home to hibernate. It is estimated that only those who really have something to do and those who like to play will go out. The rest of the time, they are all staying at home.

Not only is it inconvenient to go to town, but there are also no interesting activities available. Ice fishing is one of the best ways to pass the time this season.

It's a rare form of entertainment, so young people can't stay at home. Those who have sleds go out on them, and those who don't bring ice picks and fishing rods.
