Chapter 205 Don't Be Brave

"Then don't be so stubborn. If you feel uncomfortable, go home."

Su Nanzhi thought Gu Xizhou would object, but she didn't expect that what he said was completely opposite to what she thought.

Even if you know that your injured friend needs to walk around instead of resting, even if it's just pretending, you should tell your friend not to be stubborn and to recover first.

What's more, Gu Xizhou said those words to her last night...

Thinking of this, Su Nanzhi's cheeks turned red unconsciously.

"Even if we object, you won't listen to us, right?"

As if noticing the curiosity on Su Nanzhi's face, Gu Xizhou began to explain.

Su Nanzhi was a little stunned. It was exactly as Gu Xizhou said.

Even if a few people object, she will stick to her choice.

And her injury only looks scary, but it is not serious.

After Gu Xizhou finished speaking, he handed the kettle in his other hand to Su Nanzhi.

"I made you some malted milk, drink some."

Before Su Nanzhi could react to Gu Xizhou's words, a kettle was stuffed into her hand.

"This is a tonic given to you by the organization as a thank you for your help."

Gu Xizhou looked calm, as if he had not just come down from the mountain this morning and bought the malted milk in town without a minute's rest.

However, since everything involves the organization, Su Nanzhi will not refuse, and others will not think too much about it.

Because of Gu Xizhou's words, Bai Zhenfei and others who originally wanted to oppose Su Nanzhi's move stopped trying to persuade her.

After all, even Gu Xizhou, who seemed the most difficult person to talk to in the yard, stood on Su Nanzhi's side, so they didn't want to make things difficult for themselves.

But this did not stop them from looking at Su Nanzhi with envy.

"The organization is great. They even gave us malted milk."

"Malted milk is not cheap. A can costs a lot of money."

"But since Sister Su has such a big hole in her head, isn't it natural for her to drink some malted milk?"

…

Upon hearing this, Su Nanzhi did not hesitate. Good things should naturally be shared.

"Go to the kitchen and make some malted milk. Your sister Su can't give you big meals every day, but she can still make sure you have enough water to drink."

Hearing this, the two of them immediately ran to the kitchen happily.

It’s not that they haven’t drunk malted milk before, but they have never drunk the malted milk bought by the organization.

"You two rascals, that was bought by Xiao Gu for Xiao Su, don't drink it all."

Looking at the two people laughing from behind, Aunt Lei felt a little worried and quickly followed them, cursing.

Seeing this, Su Nanzhi smiled unconsciously, and then met Gu Xizhou's nervous eyes.

"Nanzhi, your injury..."

Although Gu Xizhou's eyesight was very good at night, he saw the injury on Su Nanzhi's forehead at a glance last night.

After just one night, the wound on Su Nanzhi's forehead was covered with bruises, and it looked even more serious than yesterday.

Su Nanzhi's hand reflexively wanted to touch the wound, but before her hand touched the wound, she was grabbed by Gu Xizhou.

"Don't touch it, be careful of the wound."

Gu Xizhou said this, his eyes full of self-blame.

"It's all my fault. If I had held on a little longer, you wouldn't have been hurt at all."

Su Nanzhi pulled her hand out of his, looked at Gu Xizhou and said, "Gu Xizhou, if it weren't for you, maybe I wouldn't have just had a hole in my head, but I would have been dead."

She heard from Ge Shengnan that at the beginning Gu Xizhou and his superiors had a big argument about whether to let her join the mission, although in the end Gu Xizhou had to agree.

But before finalizing his plan of faking his death by being pushed off the waterfall, Gu Xizhou jumped off the cliff countless times, trying to find the safest position.

It was impossible for Su Nanzhi to say that she was not moved.

She was not a little girl and was not angry because Gu Xizhou failed to successfully resist the orders of his superiors.

In her previous life, she was at least half a military wife.

She knew better than anyone the soldiers' obedience to organizational discipline.

She had never even thought that Gu Xizhou would rebel against his leader for her.

"You male comrades can have scars as military medals, why can't we female comrades?" Seeing Gu Xizhou's self-blaming expression, her heart softened unconsciously. "When the time comes, I'll have a scar on my head, and no one will dare to mess with me when I walk around. After all, I've helped the organization."

But when Gu Xizhou heard this, he felt even more sad.

Which lesbian doesn’t love beauty? And Su Nanzhi is a lesbian who knows how to put on makeup and create beauty.

"Nanzhi, I will never let you get a scar."

Su Nanzhi saw Gu Xizhou's determined eyes and was about to make up an excuse to say that she would not be left with a scar.

Bai Zhenfei and his companions came out of the kitchen, each holding a bowl of malted milk.

Zhu Changsheng was also very considerate and brought a bowl to Gu Xizhou.

Maybe because of Aunt Lei’s instructions, the four bowls of malted milk they made were only a transparent light yellow color. If you didn’t look carefully, you would think it was just a bowl of boiled water.

Gu Xizhou took the sugar water and drank it all, his brows unconsciously frowned.

He doesn't like sweet food.

"I'm leaving soon and won't be around for a while."

"If you need any help, please find Comrade Ge and the others."

After giving Su Nanzhi his instructions, he turned to look at Bai Zhenfei and Zhu Changsheng beside him.

"Take good care of Comrade Su."

When Bai Zhenfei and Zhu Changsheng heard this, they wanted to refute. Sister Su was their boss, and even if Gu Xizhou didn't say anything, they would take good care of Su Nanzhi.

However, after seeing Gu Xizhou's serious face, the two nodded honestly.

I can’t afford to offend you. I can’t afford to offend you.

Su Nanzhi couldn't help but interrupt him when she heard Gu Xizhou speaking as if he was instructing a child.

"I'll see to it myself."

She was still a little uncomfortable with the usually cold Gu Xizhou being so down-to-earth.

Gu Xizhou sighed and could only nod helplessly.

Su Nanzhi packed up her things and walked out of the yard with Bai Zhenfei and Zhu Changsheng without wasting any more time.

Gu Xizhou looked at the backs of Su Nanzhi and the others as they left, his eyes full of complexity.

In fact, he was not at ease with Su Nanzhi, after all, Su Nanzhi's injury had not healed yet.

But he knew that his opposition would not have any effect, and compared to opposition, he felt that what Su Nanzhi needed more was support and trust.

It was like he didn't trust Su Nanzhi enough at the beginning, because of his inferiority complex, he rejected Su Nanzhi, and because of his male chauvinism, he thought Su Nanzhi was a weak person.

"What are you looking at? Everyone has gone far away."

Aunt Lei found it a little funny watching from the side.

"Are you worried about Xiao Su's health?"

Although his tone was questioning, it was full of certainty.

"If you were worried about Xiao Su, why did you let Xiao Su go out just now?"

Aunt Lei even wondered if she was getting too old. She didn't understand how young people dated nowadays.

Gu Xizhou withdrew his gaze and gave Aunt Lei a faint smile.

"I let her go out because I was worried about her. Otherwise, she wouldn't behave herself at home."

Thinking of how excited Su Nanzhi was when she left just now, Aunt Lei couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"You still understand Xiao Su."

This time, Gu Xizhou showed a bitter smile on his face.

He didn't know Su Nanzhi well enough, which was why he messed everything up before.

Now he just hoped it was still too late to salvage it.
