Chapter 128

Mud on leather shoes

Zhou Zeyuan hurried over, took the needle from Su Yunnuan's hand, held her foot, gently wiped it with iodine, and then pierced it from the side.

Blood and pus flowed out of the small hole. Zhou Zeyuan pressed it gently and then cleaned it gently with a cotton swab.

His movements were neat and quick, yet very gentle, so Su Yunnuan really didn't feel much pain.

After the treatment, Zhou Zeyuan applied medicine on her.

"You can't walk that far tomorrow. We have to change groups, so you can stay and receive treatment." Zhou Zeyuan said to Su Yunnuan.

"Okay." Su Yunnuan nodded. No matter which position she was in, she had to save lives and heal the wounded. Her feet really couldn't walk much more.

Jiangbei Military Compound

Zhou Yanyan didn't find the white paper. She thought about it and felt that it was nothing, because it was just a piece of white paper and ordinary people would not discover the secret in it.

But she didn't know what was written on the paper, so she could only go to the designated place again.

She looked around to see that no one noticed her, then went out.

Zhou Yanyan didn't expect that she would be targeted as soon as she went out.

She turned left and right, and made many turns. When she was about to reach the designated location, she stopped and looked around again.

After making sure that no one was following her, she walked into the pavilion.

Just after Zhou Yanyan entered, a man wearing a baseball cap came over.

"What's the matter? Why do you want to see me again?" the other party said impatiently. If two people meet too often, it will be easy to expose their identities.

"I have no choice. The letter that day was lost and I couldn't find it." Zhou Yanyan said in a low voice.

The man stared at Zhou Yanyan with anger.

"How could you lose all the mail, idiot? What else can you do?"

Zhou Yanyan twisted the corner of her clothes awkwardly. She didn't know what was going on and had always been very careful.

"This is for you. Don't contact me for now. If you have any news, go to XXXX..."

The man finished his words quickly, looked around, and turned away without any hesitation.

Zhou Yanyan was still standing there in a daze. Wasn’t it just a piece of white paper that was lost? Was it that serious? But she still didn't dare to stay for long. If she was discovered, she would be finished.

Zhou Yanyan also hurried back.

The man in the baseball cap felt that someone was following him, but every time he looked back he saw nothing, and he became more panicked.

When he was about to return to his residence, he reached out to touch the lock.

As soon as he touched the lock, he knew something was wrong, someone had been to his house.

The man quickly prepared to evacuate, but it was too late. When he was about to turn around, the person behind him appeared.

Zhou Yanyan returned home, her pounding heart still hadn't calmed down. She sat on the sofa and drank several sips of water, but it didn't calm her pounding heart.

"Yan Yan, where have you been?" Qiu Yuwan saw Zhou Yanyan sitting in the living room in the dark, and turned on the light with a "click", scaring Zhou Yanyan into screaming.

"Mom, you scared me to death." When Zhou Yanyan saw that it was Qiu Yuwan, she ran over with a bit of pouting and hugged Qiu Yuwan's arm.

"What's wrong with you? You're so mysterious." Qiu Yuwan smoothed Zhou Yanyan's scattered hair behind her ears and looked at her face which was very similar to the person in her memory. She felt too many things in her heart.

"Mom, I just went out for a walk, I didn't do anything." Zhou Yanyan leaned her head on Qiu Yuwan's shoulder and began to act coquettishly.

Qiu Yuwan couldn't stand her acting like a spoiled brat, so she quickly surrendered.

"Okay, okay, our Yanyan is just going out for a walk! Are you hungry? Mom made some rice wine meatballs, you can have some."

Qiu Yuwan was really nice to Zhou Yanyan, as if she was serving that person.

"Mom, that's so nice. I'm hungry too." Zhou Yanyan said.

Qiu Yuwan went to the kitchen and brought out the rice wine meatballs. Zhou Yanyan just opened her mouth. Qiu Yuwan smiled dotingly and fed her one spoonful at a time.

The mother and daughter were having a midnight snack when they heard the sound of a door being locked outside.

"Who?" Qiu Yuwan asked hurriedly.

The door was opened and Zhou Wende walked in from outside.

"Wende, why are you here?" Qiu Yuwan was a little surprised when she saw Zhou Wende.

This house was allocated by Zhou Wende in Jiangbei City, but after the house was divided, the number of times Zhou Wende came back could be counted on one hand.

He was too busy in the army and, like Zhou Zeyuan, almost never went home.

But it’s so late today, and it’s really strange that Zhou Wende still comes back.

"Dad." Zhou Yanyan didn't know why, but a trace of guilt flashed across her eyes, but she soon felt relieved, ran over, hugged Zhou Wende's arm, and called him affectionately.

Zhou Wende reached out and touched Zhou Yanyan's hair, then looked at the empty bowl on the coffee table.

"Is there any more? Give me a bowl."

"More." Qiu Yuwan hurried into the kitchen to get the dumplings.

"Yan Yan, why are there mud on your feet? Where did you go to play last night?" Zhou Wende asked Zhou Yan Yan in a very kind manner.

Zhou Yanyan then realized that she had not changed her shoes since returning, and there was some yellow mud on her black leather shoes.

"There's cement all around here, where's the mud? Look, my Yanyan's leather shoes are all dirty." Zhou Wende continued to ask.

"Hey, why are you so aggressive as soon as you come back? The child just went out for a walk, there will always be times when he is careless!"

Qiu Yuwan came out of the kitchen, holding rice wine meatballs and handed them to Zhou Wende.

"Yes, Dad. I didn't pay attention when I went out. I don't know where the mud got on. I'll wipe it off later." Zhou Yanyan saw Qiu Yuwan speaking for her and followed suit.

"Come on, take them off, and let me wipe them for you." Qiu Yuwan bent down and was about to help Zhou Yanyan take off her shoes.

"Yuwan, the child has grown up. You can't be responsible for everything." There was a hint of coldness in Zhou Wende's eyes.

But his tone of voice was very gentle.

"Hey, no matter how old the child is, he is still our little baby, Wende, why are you so picky as soon as you come back?"

Qiu Yuwan glanced at Zhou Wende with some reproach.

"Zhou Zeyuan is also your child." Zhou Wende said.

Qiu Yuwan's hands froze.

"He is a boy."

Zhou Wende just looked at Qiu Yuwan deeply.

"Yan Yan, go back to your room first. I have something to say to your mother."

After Zhou Wende finished speaking, Zhou Yanyan looked at him with some fear, and then looked at Qiu Yuwan.

"Look at you, you scared the child." Seeing Zhou Yanyan's frightened expression, Qiu Yuwan began to blame Zhou Wende again.

Zhou Wende didn't say anything. Qiu Yuwan knew that she shouldn't go too far. She gave Zhou Yanyan a wink, and Zhou Yanyan quickly ran back to her room, closed the door, and put her ear to it.
