Chapter 66 Returning Home

Wang Yong stopped immediately and looked at Gu Xizhou in horror, his whole body ready to escape.

Gu Xizhou's expression was still gloomy, not much better than usual when they failed to complete their mission.

Just when he was thinking that Gu Xizhou was about to make him run a few laps around the playground as punishment, Gu Xizhou spoke again.

Just those words almost made Wang Yong lose the expression on his face.

"Why do you think I like Comrade Su?"

When talking about the word "like", Gu Xizhou's ears turned red unconsciously.

Wang Yong hadn't noticed, but hearing the word "like" from his cold-blooded leader's mouth made him forget his fear. He immediately gossiped, "Captain, you like Comrade Su? Isn't that obvious to anyone with eyes?"

"Just tell me, since Comrade Su came to the army, have you been sticking with Comrade Su whenever you have free time?"

"And when Comrade Su had the accident, you looked like that. I was afraid you'd killed those two hooligans."

"Of course, the most important thing is, didn't you say it yourself? You confessed your feelings to Comrade Su and were rejected."

At this point, Wang Yong's face was filled with shock. "I didn't expect Comrade Su to look down on you. Your qualifications are among the best in our army, but Comrade Su is only a township..."

Halfway through the conversation, Gu Xizhou interrupted her coldly, "She's fine."

Hearing this, Wang Yong became even more excited. "Look at how protective you are of your son. If you don't like Comrade Su, are you also eager to help others?"

"Anyway, you've trained us brothers to the point where we're no longer human, and you haven't even batted an eyelid."

Gu Xizhou frowned even more tightly when he heard Wang Yong's answer. After a long while, he said, "I'm not worthy of her. She deserves better."

Although he usually complains about Gu Xizhou, Wang Yong admires him the most in the entire army.

When he suddenly heard his idol say such derogatory words about him, he was the first to jump out and express his dissatisfaction.

"Captain, you're handsome, have good character, and do a great job, so why aren't you worthy of Comrade Su?"

Although Gu Xizhou never said the reason why he didn't get married, Wang Yong had worked under him for so many years and could more or less guess what he was thinking.

Seeing that Gu Xizhou didn't say anything, he said anxiously: "Everyone will die on the road. You are not dead yet, but you are worried about what will happen after you die."

"And have you asked Comrade Su if he minds if his future partner is a soldier?"

Gu Xizhou's pupils trembled. Su Nanzhi had mentioned her requirements for her future partner, but she never said that this partner could not be a soldier.

His heart couldn't help but start beating violently.

Maybe he... can also pursue his own happiness.

Wang Yong was so anxious looking at Gu Xizhou's silence that he almost jumped up and down. He wanted to drag Gu Xizhou to find Su Nanzhi.

"Captain, my wise and powerful commander, if you hesitate for a few more days, the opportunity will be gone. Comrade Su will be attending a social gathering tomorrow. If he gets together with someone else by then, what will you have to do with him?"

Gu Xizhou kept recalling every detail of his meeting with Su Nanzhi, but he just waved his hand.

Because of what happened during the day, Su Nanzhi did not sleep well that night. She tossed and turned all night, and it was already dawn when she fell asleep.

I was woken up by Zhou Yinghong again early in the morning.

Although Zhou Yinghong got up early in the morning, her face was exceptionally rosy.

"Sister Su, I brought all my nice clothes with me. Can you help me match them?"

As she spoke, she walked into Su Nanzhi's bedroom very familiarly and put the clothes in her hands on the bed.

The corner of Su Nanzhi's mouth twitched. He rubbed his aching head and silently repeated to himself a hundred times that this was his God of Wealth. Only then did he manage to force a smile.

But when she saw the foggy sky outside, she couldn't help but said to Zhou Yinghong speechlessly: "Zhou Yinghong, what time did you get up?"

Zhou Yinghong followed Su Nanzhi's gaze and realized that she seemed to have arrived a little early.

"Sister Su, how about I come back later?"

Su Nanzhi waved her hands. She couldn't fall asleep again after being woken up.

She looked down at the clothes Zhou Yinghong had placed on her bed, and her eyes felt a little sore.

Zhou Yinghong really lives up to her name. There is a "red" character in her name, and she likes to wear clothes in bright colors such as red.

But Zhou Yinghong is not white, and wearing red clothes makes her look unhealthy.

She finally pulled out a simple white shirt from the bottom.

Although Zhou Yinghong brought all the clothes she liked, there are different levels of preferences. This white shirt is one of the clothes she doesn't like very much.

However, seeing Su Nanzhi's dark face, she didn't dare to refute and changed into a white shirt very obediently.

The makeup for blind dates is different from that for weddings. Bridal makeup can be a little more exaggerated, while blind date makeup is everyday makeup that emphasizes little details and is not much simpler than bridal makeup.

It was more than half an hour after Su Nanzhi finished putting makeup on Zhou Yinghong. Zhou Yinghong looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she had changed, but she couldn't tell what had changed.

Although this was different from the trial makeup she had seen on Gu Xiaole's face before, she liked the makeup Su Nanzhi applied to her more.

You know, after her sister-in-law knew that she paid Su Nanzhi to do her makeup, she was still secretly complaining that she was not married but only knew how to put on makeup to seduce men. She was so angry that she had a three hundred rounds of quarrel with her sister-in-law last night.

Today, after she returns home from the blind date, she will definitely let her sister-in-law see where her face is too heavily made-up.

Zhou Yinghong took the mirror and looked herself up and down.

"Sister Su, your cooking skills are so good, I'm sure this blind date will be a success."

"But even if it doesn't work out, I look pretty good today. I'll come to you next time I go on a blind date."

The corner of Su Nanzhi's mouth twitched, but she still cruelly shattered her fantasy.

"I'm going back home the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Yinghong opened her mouth, her face full of reluctance.

If Su Nanzhi left, how would she become beautiful in the future? She hadn't even learned how to put on makeup yet. She also didn't have the full range of equipment that Su Nanzhi had.

She looked enviously at the bedside table where cosmetics and various small brushes were placed.

Then he immediately noticed the fraternity membership certificate on the table.

"Sister Su, are you going to the social gathering today?" Zhou Yinghong immediately smiled. "Then you should dress up nicely. When you find a partner in the army, you can stay here."

You can also put makeup on her then.

Su Nanzhi found it a little funny. She looked at the cosmetics and hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.

***

Zhou Yinghong lives near the guesthouse. Because she had to attend a social gathering, she took a leave of absence from work today. After going home for lunch, she excitedly came to find Su Nanzhi to attend the social gathering together.

After seeing Su Nanzhi, she was shocked and it took her a long time to regain her composure.

"Sister Su, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful."

Zhou Yinghong couldn't help rubbing her eyes. Why didn't she realize that Su Nanzhi was so beautiful before?

She finally understood why the handsome officer fell in love with Su Nanzhi. Soldiers are different. Their eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people like her.

Su Nanzhi smiled and regained some confidence from Zhou Yinghong's reaction.

This was the first time she had put on proper makeup since her rebirth.

Being praised made her face smile unconsciously.
