"He's handsome, has a great physique, and is willing to cook—far surpassing 99% of men these days."

Gu An'an glanced at her, "Didn't you just tell me to think it over carefully?"

Afraid that Xiao Yuheng would hear, Zhou Yue wished she could cover Gu An'an's mouth, but she didn't dare. She could only raise her voice and say, "I do think you're developing a bit too fast, but Vice Regiment Commander Xiao is such a good person, so it's only right that things are going quickly. Vice Regiment Commander Xiao, don't you agree?"

That's some serious survival instinct!

Xiao Yuheng also gave her face, "An'an, did you hear that? Zhou Zhiqing praised your good taste."

"Of course I know I have good taste."

Fortunately, Zhou Yue was a true native. If she were a time traveler from later generations, she would definitely sing a song: "I should be in the yard, not in the kitchen."

"I'll go see if they've returned."

She couldn't stay in the kitchen for even a second longer; she needed to go see her boyfriend and find some comfort.

As soon as Zhou Yue entered the courtyard, Zhao Hu and Chen Jianguo came over, carrying some things. "We heard that Brother Xiao is back, so let's cook a couple more dishes for him to come and eat with us."

"Old Zhao, you go cook first. I'll go call him now. I'm afraid he'll eat at the village chief's house if I'm late."

Although the three of them only had a few meals together last time, Xiao Yuheng's experiences and stories far surpassed those of his peers. In particular, his stories about his time in the army made the two brothers yearn for it.

Knowing he was back, the two of them went to check the trap again and came back with a rabbit. Although the harvest was small, it was enough to make a decent feast for a guest.

"Brother Chen, don't go. They don't need you to call them; they've already arrived."
