Hearing the praise from everyone, Ling Huanwu felt a little embarrassed and moved to Zhou Jiuzhen's side to share the pressure of their gazes.

To her surprise, she looked up and met Zhou Jiuzhen's burning gaze.

Their eyes were so bright they could be plucked from the sky and hung as the North Star.

A gentle evening breeze was blowing.

Zhou Jiuzhen walked beside Ling Huanwu the whole way, and seemed to speak much less than usual.

Although he would occasionally say something to ease the atmosphere, Ling Huanwu still sensed that he was somewhat different from usual.

Just as Ling Huanwu was about to enter the house at the educated youth settlement, she pushed open the door, but someone tugged at her clothes.

"Huanwu, I miss you so much..."

Zhou Jiuzhen stared at her intently, his eyes glistening with tears.

Ling Huanwu felt as if something had burned her heart, and her cheeks followed suit.

"We see each other every day, what do you have to think about?"

She glanced around the quiet educated youth settlement, then pulled him into the house like a thief, "But come inside, I have something good for you to eat..."

She had previously passed by a famous traditional Chinese medicine clinic and bought some medicine to treat cerebral hemorrhage and promote blood circulation.

I wanted to brew some and coax him to drink it.

Although she also liked Zhou Jiuzhen when he was "eighteen," the time she spent with him was also precious, and she hoped that he could remember the past.

No sooner had the door slammed shut than Zhou Jiuzhen seemed to transform into a different person, pinning Ling Huanwu against the door and kissing her fiercely.

For quite a while.

Ling Huanwu, almost out of breath, complained through her swollen lips, "Why are you as reckless as Zhou Jiuzhen when he was 23?"

"So, do you prefer 18-year-old Xiao Zhou, or 23-year-old Da Zhou?"

"No, it should be between Xiao Zhou or Da Zhou and your sweetheart, which one do you like?"

Zhou Jiuzhen's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. He looked down at her as if his dark pupils were trying to take her completely into his eyes and embed her in his heart.

Faced with this difficult choice, Ling Huanwu knew that if she didn't answer well, the man would definitely be jealous of himself.

18-year-old Zhou Jiuzhen fights 23-year-old Zhou Jiuzhen.

The scene was too brutal for her to bear watching.

So, without making a sound, he changed the subject, "Were you and that female section chief Su Haiting old lovers before? Did you use your good looks to get her to agree to bring someone she knows over for the inspection?"
