After dinner, Lin Chuchu chatted with Sister Wang, and the aunt brought out two pairs of shoes from the inner room and handed them to her.

"Chuchu, these are shoes that Auntie made for you. These multi-layered soles are the most comfortable. Auntie has been wanting to make them for you for the past few days, but I haven't had the chance. Now that you're here today, you can take the shoes back with you. Don't mind them."

Lin Chuchu waved her hand in a panic, "Auntie, please leave the shoes for Sister Wang, I can't accept them."

"Hey, what's wrong with accepting them?" Sister Wang said casually from the side. "My mom wanted to make them for you before, and since you'll be wearing single-layer shoes soon, she made two pairs for you."

"Keep your shoes in the office and change into them when you're doing translation work. It'll make your feet feel more comfortable."

Lin Chuchu didn't know what to say, so she just took the shoes and put them on right then and there. "Auntie, these shoes are so comfortable. You're really good at making them."

The aunt smiled and nodded, "As long as you're comfortable."

When Lin Chuchu returned, she had two pairs of shoes in her arms. Her eyes were slightly red. Since her mother passed away, no one had made shoes for her. She never expected that someone would still make shoes for her.

Back home, Lin Chuchu washed up and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, she was woken up by the reveille as usual.

While I was washing up, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Lin Chuchu opened the door in confusion and looked at Mu Chen in shock.

"Brother Mu Chen, what brings you here?"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Comrade Lin, from today onwards, I will be your bodyguard. Please take good care of me."

Lin Chuchu replied subconsciously before asking the question.

"How did you end up here? I heard your commander values ​​you highly, why would he let you come?"

"Well, I have my own way of doing it."

Lin Chuchu's current strength is enough to be valued by the research institute and the translation department. Her bodyguards must also be carefully selected, and they must be strong enough in both character and combat skills.

Mu Chen was very confident in his abilities, so he signed up resolutely despite the leader's objections.

Most importantly, Mu Chen told the regimental commander that he wanted to become revolutionary partners with Lin Chuchu.

Only then did they get their commander to release the people.

Although Lin Chuchu was wearing a military uniform, she was different from a soldier. She didn't need to participate in daily training; she only needed to participate in morning exercises every day.

After escorting Lin Chuchu into the office, Mu Chen also joined the training.

However, he has flexible hours; he can leave once he completes his training.

He would wait for him outside the office before lunch and before he left work in the evening.

This is different from Sister Wang's situation. However, there is security in the translation department, so Lin Chuchu is safe.

Lin Chuchu had just sat down at her desk and refilled her pen when the office door was suddenly flung open.

"Lin Chuchu, why is Mu Chen here? Is he here to see you?"

Liu Zixuan stormed in, fuming, and bombarded her with questions.

Lin Chuchu glanced at her indifferently, "Yes, he's my bodyguard now."

Liu Zixuan's lips trembled with anger. "How could you do this? Aren't you ruining Mu Chen's future?"

"What makes you think you can appoint him as your bodyguard?"

Lin Chuchu frowned, carefully placed the translated manuscript on the table, and then turned around to speak.

"This is a decision made by higher-ups, and I only found out about it today. Besides... what gives you the right to question me? And by what right do you question me?"

Liu Zixuan opened and closed her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She was getting married to an older man.

These past few days, her family has been pressuring her to meet that old man. She's in a bad mood and feeling depressed. When she saw Mu Chen, she took her anger out on Lin Chuchu.

She's not doing well, so why should Lin Chuchu be doing better than her?

Looking closely at Lin Chuchu, one can see that Lin Chuchu is actually very beautiful, even more so than her, but Lin Chuchu simply doesn't like to dress herself up.

A sudden sense of crisis welled up in her heart. The realization that Lin Chuchu was stronger than her almost drove her crazy.

Seeing that she didn't speak but was only looking at her with hatred, Lin Chuchu said in a cold tone.

"Please leave, don't delay my work."

Liu Zixuan's chest heaved as a figure suddenly appeared at the door—it was Mu Chen.

Mu Chen sensed the woman's malice towards Lin Chuchu and followed her out of concern.

"Comrade, this is working hours. Please do not disturb Comrade Lin's work."

Seeing the incredulous look on her face, Mu Chen frowned. "You all have different job duties. I have reason to suspect that you have ulterior motives. Could it be that you stayed in Comrade Lin's office for something?"

He was blatantly telling Liu Zixuan that he suspected her of stealing important documents.

Liu Zixuan shuddered and quickly tried to defend herself.

"No, I didn't, I just... I just wanted to ask if you remember me?"

She spoke the last few words very softly, almost inaudibly.

Mu Chen frowned. "Comrade, I've never seen you before. How would I know you? Please leave."

Liu Zixuan's eyes were red; how could she not remember herself?

At this moment, there were several onlookers outside, including Old Song, who had a dark face and felt ashamed.

Liu Zixuan still went out. Once outside, she was scolded in front of everyone. The scolding was very harsh, and Liu Zixuan cried.

Unfortunately, no one sympathizes. Why would someone want to do a job that pays well and keeps them sheltered from the wind and rain?

Mu Chen stood motionless at Lin Chuchu's door, only occasionally going in to check if the stove had gone out.

Lin Chuchu didn't expect Liu Zixuan to still be so persistent even at this point, always trying to cause trouble.
