Gu Zhiye's body stiffened for a moment, and he subconsciously looked at the girl in his arms, gradually becoming absent-minded, his eyes full of doting on her: "Great."

Jin Chuan brushed past them with a disdainful smile on his lips.

Gao Jianshe and Jiang Xiaofei were walking towards them. The former smiled gloatingly: "Xiaofei still doesn't believe that you came from Heilongjiang Province. She didn't even look at you when you were dancing just now. Haha, Comrade Jin Chuan, your charm has greatly decreased..."

The three of them graduated from the same school.

Jin Chuan pushed his glasses up on his nose, "Comrade Xiaofei, you're dancing better and better! Last time when you were touring our research institute, many male comrades were secretly asking about you. How are you? Are you still single?"

Jiang Xiaofei, who was standing next to Gao Jianshe, had not yet removed her makeup. She tried hard to resist the urge to rub her eyes and answered perfunctorily, "You're asking even though you already know the answer."

But his eyes kept passing Jin Chuan and looking forward.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she actually saw Gu Zhiye leaving from the back door with a girl from the art troupe in his arms. What on earth was he up to?! Was he being a hooligan?

Isn't Jiang Xiaofei qualified? !

…

As soon as she walked out of the back door, Su Niannian pushed Gu Zhiye away.

His voice was choked with sobs: "Go away."

Gu Zhiye stood in front of Su Niannian like a wall. He lowered his eyes, lifted her chin, and asked in confusion, "Have you cried?"

Just now in the corridor, there were only them and a strange man. When the other party left, the observant Gu Zhiye could feel Su Niannian's relief with his naked eyes. She seemed to be particularly afraid of that man, so much so that in that situation, she threw herself into his arms like a desperate rabbit, seeking protection.

Unable to get a response from Su Niannian, Gu Zhiye's eyes darkened, "Did that man bully you just now? If you don't tell me, I will go find him and ask him clearly..."

Gu Zhiye took a step back to advance and immediately turned around and left.

Su Niannian was so anxious that she quickly grabbed his hand.

"Oh, no! Really not! I don't even know him!"

"?"

Gu Zhiye was obviously not someone who could be easily fooled. Su Niannian gritted her teeth and said in a reproachful tone, "How dare you say that! Today is my first time on stage, and you actually went to comfort other people. Is Jiang Xiaofei such a beautiful dancer? Do you know what is more important? How can there be a husband like you..."

Su Niannian spoke the last two words particularly softly, with a hint of coquettishness.

She really tried her best to divert the man's attention.

You have to try your best to taste the vinegar that you shouldn't eat.

Gu Zhiye's breathing became heavier, and he explained for the first time: "I came to see you, but you ran away faster than a rabbit."

There are few people at the back door exit, but that doesn't mean no one passes by here. Gu Zhiye is a prominent figure in the neighboring military region. Even if he doesn't say anything, just standing there can attract countless people's attention. Su Niannian was covered in his shadow and hid well. After explaining things clearly, she decisively pushed him away and ran away.

Gu Zhiye went straight from the back door to the front hall.

The boring performance almost made Captain Yan, a rough guy, fall asleep. When he noticed someone sitting down next to him, he said dazedly, "So fast?!"

Gu Zhiye sat in his original position, his body straight. His eyes suddenly fell on Jin Chuan who came in with Gao Jianshe. After a while, his calm voice sounded with a little doubt.

"Old Yan, please help me find someone. I owe you a favor."

There was no way he would believe a single word of Su Niannian's clumsy lie.

…

After the tour, the group had a day off.

What was different from usual was that Liao Yu actually invited Su Niannian, Liu Tao and others to have breakfast in the cafeteria for the first time. Liu Tao has always been a carefree person, but she knew that Liao Yu was a proud person who never formed cliques with anyone and even ate alone. This was the first time that the other party was so friendly.

Having a good relationship with the squad leader would be of great help in future missions. Liu Tao hesitated for a second, then happily took the two of them to the cafeteria.

Within the time it takes to have breakfast, the three of them became good friends.

Liu Tao made a bold statement directly: "How about we go shopping in the department store later? My mother said that their company has just received a batch of defective fabrics, and internal employees can buy them without receipts. I asked her to help save two beautiful ones so that we can try on new clothes..."

The other two nodded frantically.

Su Niannian was a little moved. Those dresses were all brought back from the Chen family. Many of them were not suitable to wear in the army. That's why Gu Zhiye sent her money and cloth coupons as soon as possible so that she could buy whatever she wanted like other girls. For some reason, she felt a warm feeling in her heart for his thoughtfulness in these aspects.

But man proposes, God disposes.

Just as they were about to leave the art troupe, Su Niannian was tripped by a phone call. It turned out that Su Jianshan came from his hometown and was waiting at the train station. He was not sure where she was, so he called to ask. When he heard the news that his brother was coming, somehow, Su Niannian's first reaction was that Jin Chuan was in Ning County, and the two of them must not meet.

All new clothes and delicious food were forgotten.

After she and Liao Yu and others asked for leave, they immediately rushed to the train station.

After not seeing each other for more than half a month, Su Jianshan's skin had become darker. He was waiting on the platform with a lot of bags in his hands. When he saw her, he waved his big hands like a palm-leaf fan wildly.

Su Niannian's lips immediately curled up into a smile: "Brother——!"

"younger sister!"

"Why did you bring so many things? If someone doesn't know, they would think you emptied your old home and made Second Aunt and the others gossip. I eat well in the army. You can take these pickled meats back with you. You don't have to leave them for me..." Su Niannian hurriedly looked through her eldest brother's luggage, feeling sad and unhappy.

Su Jianshan grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth.

"These pickled dried goods were all given to my brother-in-law by my grandmother. I want him not to be angry about what happened last time and not to take it out on you."

"My aunt and the others have been afraid to say anything bad recently. They just married Zhaodi to a hunter's family in the next county. On the wedding day, Zhaodi failed to escape and the family was in a big commotion. Because of this, grandma almost swept my second uncle's family out with a broom. I almost emptied the house this time, but they didn't dare to say a word, haha..."
