(1960s + No Rural Assignment + Spirit Spring + Space) After her biological mother died, her father remarried just a month later, abandoning her in the countryside for over a decade, never asking ab...
Her little face flushed red. She actually went out to open the door with this look on her face.
He saw her messy and sloppy appearance. She was too embarrassed to face anyone.
She covered her face with her hands for a long time in the room, then reluctantly went to brush her teeth and wash her face. When she opened the door again, she had returned to normal, at least nothing could be seen on the surface.
When she opened the door, Zhou Ziheng was still waiting outside. He smiled when he saw her come out and brought up breakfast again.
"Thank you." She took the breakfast he brought without hesitation.
Standing in the corridor and eating in small bites, Zhou Ziheng had already finished his breakfast. He leaned on the balcony railing and looked at her while she ate in small bites.
Under his gaze, she ate slower and slower, and finally had no choice but to glare at him fiercely, "Why are you watching me eat? I'm embarrassed."
She thinks she looks fierce, but actually she is like a kitten with its teeth and claws bared, which is very cute.
"I just think you're beautiful." The man said this seriously, not knowing how much damage it could do.
In the book, wasn't he the silent, lifeless, and incapable Zhou Ziheng? What had gone wrong? Why did she feel like Zhou Ziheng was, like, OOC?
Zhou Ziheng watched the girl's face turn red quietly, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheeks.
The hand fell on him and the girl looked at him with shyness and anger, "Don't look at me like that, I will want to pinch you even more."
Lu Xiangxiang raised her hand and pinched his face without thinking, then raised her eyebrows and looked at him, her eyes seemed to say, you pinch me, I pinch you, that's fair.
"Let's go to work," he said.
Lu Xiangxiang looked up at her watch and found that it was almost time to go to work. Her biological clock didn't wake her up today.
Thinking about last night when she agreed to go out with him, she couldn't sleep, and it was already this late.
"Let's go." Fortunately, they lived in the dormitory today, and Zhou Ziheng called her in time, so she wouldn't be late for work now.
The two of them working together shocked many people, especially the three young men Yan Zhengyi, Lu Tiezhu and Zhang Mingwei. They wondered why Captain Zhou came with Comrade Lu?
Maybe they just met at the door, they thought.
However, what happened next shocked them. When Lu Xiangxiang went to find Captain Zhou, Captain Zhou's tone was so gentle that he even smiled at her.
By the time they had lunch, they hadn't said anything when they saw the two people appear.
Captain Zhou took his lunch box and Comrade Lu's lunch box to get food. After they finished, the two sat together. Zhou Ziheng put the chicken leg he had just gotten from his bowl into her lunch box.
"Eat it."
"No, you eat it."
"You eat it." Seeing that he insisted, she glared at him and took the chicken leg and started to bite into it.
The two people's interaction as if they were not the only one around surprised everyone. After the meal, Captain Zhou even took Xiao Lu's lunch box to wash it.
After finishing, he walked to Lu Xiangxiang. They were very close to each other and there was a vague ambiguous atmosphere lingering between them. Anyone could see that something was wrong between them.
"Captain Zhou, what are you doing?" Zhang Mingwei looked at Zhou Ziheng and the other man in surprise.
"Xiao Lu is my boyfriend." The concise message was like a bomb dropped into a crowd, exploding with a bang.
"What? Xiao Lu is your girlfriend?" Zhang Mingwei was shocked, Yan Zhengyi was surprised, and Lu Tiezhu was disappointed.
"But Captain, don't you have a fiancée?"
"Wait, I heard that the captain's fiancée's surname is Lu, and Xiao Lu's surname is also Lu, so Xiao Lu is your fiancée?"
Zhou Ziheng felt both happy and unhappy that they mistook Xiao Lu for his fiancée. He felt happy because she had been labeled as himself, but he felt unhappy because they mistook Xiao Lu for someone else.
"She is not my fiancée. I broke off the engagement a long time ago." He explained simply.
"So that's how it is." Several people were very disappointed.
Lu Xiangxiang is so beautiful, how can a man not have feelings for her?
Now, the little fairy in their minds has been picked up by Captain Zhou.
There is no doubt that Captain Zhou is excellent. He comes from a wealthy family, is handsome, and has a sense of responsibility. Such a person is a perfect match for Lu Xiangxiang.
Originally, he had a fiancée and some people thought there was still a chance, but now, the chance is gone.
Several people left in disappointment. Seeing them suddenly lose their temper, she was a little puzzled. "Why do they look so shocked?"
The girl was as slow to express feelings as ever. He smiled and said, "Maybe she wants to fall in love."
"Go back and have lunch." He sent Lu Xiangxiang back to the dormitory.
"Yeah." She nodded.
It was noon and people might pass by in the corridor at any time, so Zhou Ziheng wanted to hold her hand and talk to her but couldn't, so he could only let the little girl go back.
When she returned to the dormitory, Sun Mei was already looking at her with a teasing look on her face.
"Oh, there's something going on between you two." She looked at her with a playful and teasing look.
"Yes, Captain Zhou is my boyfriend now."
There is nothing to hide. Zhang Mingwei and the others already know about it, so it’s just a matter of time before others find out.
Sun Mei laughed. "I was wondering why the workload had increased recently. Turns out it was revenge."
Before taking revenge on her, he arranged a blind date for Lu Xiangxiang. Men are so petty.
But now that they're both in public, there won't be any more work, right? She thought to herself.
After the two of them started dating, they seemed a little different, yet also seemed exactly the same as usual. In work, Zhou Ziheng was the same as usual.
But it was different after get off work. Every morning he brought an egg to work and asked her to eat it when she was hungry. Sometimes it was eggs, sometimes it was candy, biscuits, chocolate, etc.
The two of them ate together at noon, and he personally served the food and washed the lunch boxes.
I took her home after get off work in the afternoon and just stopped at the door.
This situation continued for several days, and Miao Cuihua couldn't help but pull her granddaughter when she saw it.
"Think about it, is there something going on between you and Captain Zhou? Why do you come to pick you up every morning and afternoon lately?"
At first, Miao Cuihua didn't care, thinking that something was wrong in the office.
It’s okay now. It’s been like this for several days. It can’t be that something happens every day, right?
"Grandma, Captain Zhou is my boyfriend now." She announced this generously.
Miao Cuihua was so happy. She had always liked Zhou Ziheng and thought that this guy was really good. She had been wary of him for some reasons before. Didn’t he save Xiang Xiang?
Because of this relationship, she likes Zhou Ziheng even more and really wants her granddaughter to be with him, but feelings cannot be forced.
The granddaughter was not someone who would listen to what others said, so she did not mention this matter in front of Lu Xiangxiang.
I originally thought it wouldn't work out, but now they say we're a good match.
Oh, she was so happy.
A man like this would be the best match for my granddaughter.
"Why didn't you call them in? They're already here."
"Okay, okay, let him in next time." She said helplessly.
