However, despite what Gu Nini said, Fu Yichen still looked at her with concern, a gaze that made Gu Nini unable to help but speak again:

"Yichen, don't worry, I'll really be fine. Besides, there's a police station nearby. If anything happens, I can just shout and all the neighbors will hear me. Not to mention, I'm pretty good at fighting; three or five people can't get close to me. So, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Upon hearing Gu Nini's words, Liu Bufan, who had been watching the couple's antics, suddenly brightened up and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, are you serious? You're really good at fighting? Three or five people can't even get close to you?"

"I can't tell at all!"

After all, Gu Nini has delicate skin and her hands seem to have never been used to doing housework. With such a small figure, is she really that good at fighting?

Gu Nini said, "Old Liu, you can't judge a book by its cover. I'm very capable."

Liu Bufan couldn't help but take a closer look at Gu Nini.

"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!" Fu Yichen said to Liu Bufan in an annoyed tone.

"Go out and see if there's anyone still gathered outside. If not, go to the car and bring the signboard in."

"Remember to be careful and avoid bumping into things."

Liu Bufan could only give a frustrated reply before heading out.

Gu Nini looked at Fu Yichen and laughed, "Yichen, I didn't expect you to have this side to you. Aren't you afraid of not having any friends?"

Fu Yichen said, "What do I need friends for?"

Gu Nini said, "Yichen, you can't say that. You still need friends in this life, otherwise, wouldn't you be too lonely?"

"Besides, this is your comrade-in-arms, a comrade-in-arms to whom you can turn your back. You should speak to him properly in the future. Old Liu seems like a good person."

Fu Yichen was both amused and exasperated, and could only nod and say, "Nini, I understand, I'll be careful."

Gu Nini nodded, then looked at Fu Yichen and asked, "By the way, Yichen, even I was able to win a first-class merit, so what about you, the absolute main force? Didn't you get a special-class merit? Or some other award?"

Fu Yichen glanced outside the door, then whispered, "Nini, um... the commander told me that I might be promoted."

"Huh? Promoted one rank? You're a regimental commander now. If you're promoted another rank, wouldn't you be a deputy division commander? Are you old enough for that?" Gu Nini asked, somewhat surprised.

Although she didn't know much about these things, she still had some general understanding. How old was Fu Yichen? He was already promoted to deputy division commander? Was that even possible?

Fu Yichen said, "I don't know either, but because of some things, the commander told me that it should be successful."

"What is it?" Gu Nini asked.

Fu Yichen replied somewhat vaguely, "It's nothing, just some minor things."

"Then tell me," Gu Nini said, looking at Fu Yichen.

She could clearly sense that Fu Yichen was hiding something.

Moreover, this is definitely not a trivial matter. If it were, could it affect someone's promotion?

Just as Fu Yichen was about to say something, Liu Bufan walked in carrying a plaque covered with a red cloth.

"Old Fu, come lend a hand," Liu Bufan quickly said to Fu Yichen.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yichen went over to help him carry the plaque inside. He then looked at Gu Nini and asked, "Nini, where should we put this plaque?"
