"Is it really you?"
The man in front of me was about twenty years old. He had delicate features, and when he smiled, the corners of his eyes curved slightly, making his eyes sparkle. He also had a small dimple at the corner of his mouth.
He stared intently at her, his gaze burning, not looking away for a moment.
Zhou Qiqi was stunned.
The man seemed very happy to see her "again".
But she was 100 percent certain that she had never seen him before.
After all, if she had seen a guy who was only slightly less handsome than Shen Huaichuan, she definitely wouldn't forget him!
"Xiao Jie~ Where are you, Xiao Jie?"
Just then, an anxious shout came from afar.
The chubby little boy in Zhou Qiqi's arms burst into tears, wriggled out of her arms, and ran toward the sound.
The chubby boy was surprisingly strong. Zhou Qiqi was pulled so hard that she stumbled and almost fell into the mud again.
Fortunately, the handsome young man next to her caught her in time.
The two looked into each other's eyes, so close that Zhou Qiqi could feel the man's hot breath and excited trembling.
She instinctively and quickly broke free from his embrace and spoke.
"Thank you for saving me, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, she caught a glimpse of several bicycles stumbling and wobbling toward where Zhouzhou was standing.
She didn't care about this side and quickly went over to pull Zhouzhou to the side.
The rain was so heavy that by the time she turned around and looked back, the man who had just saved her was gone.
It seems I can only thank you next time we meet.
She didn't linger any longer and quickly took Zhouzhou home.
Not far away, the man was still looking in this direction, his eyes anxiously searching for Zhou Qiqi's figure.
But a middle-aged woman wearing a fine-checkered polyester shirt pulled him further and further away until they reached a jeep.
Seeing that there was no hope of finding the person, the man pursed his lips in frustration.
"Auntie, why are you pulling me like that?"
His tone was full of grievance.
Zhou Shuhua shoved her two grandsons into the car, slammed the door shut with a loud bang, then stood outside the car with her hands on her hips, questioning them.
"You're asking me now? I should be asking you that!"
"Lei Ming, I was just picking up my child, and you were all over there hugging and kissing a woman? This is a military dependents' area, it's such a bad influence!"
Lei Ming hurriedly waved his hand, looking flustered.
"No, no, oh dear, you've misunderstood, she's the one who fell..."
As soon as he said it, he quickly shook his head.
"It wasn't that she fell down. There was a chubby boy and a tree. The tree fell down and was about to hit the chubby boy. She and I helped save him, and then... Anyway, anyway... she's a very good person, very kind."
He was a little agitated, his face flushed red, and he only said a few simple words.
"What nonsense is this?"
Zhou Shuhua pursed her lips.
What tree? Little Fatty, she didn't see it at all.
Seeing is believing. All she knew was that when she turned around, she only saw her nephew Lei Ming and Zhou Qiqi talking to each other.
She was furious just thinking about what had just happened.
She didn't really like Zhou Qiqi to begin with.
How could a country girl suddenly replace Lin Yao and marry Shen Huaichuan?
She suspected that the other party had seduced Shen Huaichuan in order to marry him and accompany him to the army.
There are definitely problems with his lifestyle.
Based on what she had just witnessed, she was even more convinced that Zhou Qiqi was a woman of loose morals.
How could she just start hugging and cuddling with a man like that?
She gave a stern warning with a stern face.
"Let me tell you, stay away from Zhou Qiqi. She's not a good woman. She's already..."
In her eyes, her nephew Lei Ming was just like Shen Huaichuan—simple-minded, naive, and easily deceived by women.
Lei Ming's eyes lit up instantly. Before Zhou Shuhua could finish speaking, he eagerly pressed her for an answer.
"Auntie, do you know her? Zhou Qiqi, her name is Zhou Qiqi? Qiqi? That's a lovely name..."
The two children in the car were making a lot of noise, and there were many people in the car. The driver honked the horn, and Zhou Shuhua didn't have time to say anything before pushing Leiming into the car.
"Let's go home first and talk about it later."
Throughout the journey, Lei Ming wore a silly smile on his face.
Ever since he met Zhou Qiqi on the train, he fell in love with her at first sight. He found her to be lively, intelligent, and quick-witted, and he often dreamed about her.
He had just witnessed her bravely saving someone again, and her figure rushing forward without hesitation moved him even more.
This was the first time he had ever felt such a strong feeling for someone.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Lei Ming eagerly pulled Zhou Shuhua aside and spoke earnestly.
"Auntie, didn't you say you'd introduce me to someone? How about her..."
Zhou Shuhua rolled her eyes and said irritably.
"What do you mean 'she'? She's already married, and her husband is the soldier that your uncle and I often talk about, the one he likes the most—Shen Huaichuan!"
"What? That can't be right!"
Lei Ming's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.
"I remember you said before that Commander Shen was a real problem, that he had a fiancée from the city, whose name was something like Lin, but they hadn't gotten married yet?"
Earlier on the train, he knew who Shen Huaichuan was as soon as he heard his name.
Their family and her uncle's family had close ties. Her aunt often talked to her mother on the phone, and their conversations always included Shen Huaichuan's personal issues.
So when Shen Huaichuan said Zhou Qiqi was his wife on the train, Lei Ming didn't believe him at all, thinking he had mistaken someone for someone else or was joking.
