Chapter 83 Hug Him
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Zhou Xiye and Zhou Xiaochuan with an embarrassed expression. She didn't know how to start the conversation under these circumstances. She was Jiang Zhizhi.
When Zhou Xiaochuan saw Jiang Zhizhi, his eyes widened: "Jiang Zhizhi! You actually eavesdropped on my conversation with my brother, how despicable!"
Zhou Xiye's face instantly turned cold and stern. He reached out and grabbed Zhou Xiaochuan by the neck, scolding in a low voice, "Get out! Buy your tickets and go back today!"
Zhou Xiaochuan was extremely aggrieved. Zhou Xiye had always been the person he admired most, and now he was being asked to leave because of a woman. He wiped away his tears with his sleeve and left angrily.
Jiang Zhizhi stood there looking at Zhou Xiye, screaming inwardly. Zhou Xiaochuan had stolen her opening remarks. She had originally been voluntarily confessing, but now she was being forced to admit it, which made a huge difference.
After Zhou Xiaochuan ran far away, Zhou Xiye looked at Jiang Zhizhi's face, which was full of struggle and confusion, and sighed inwardly: "Come in and talk."
Jiang Zhizhi scratched her hair, steeled herself and followed Zhou Xiye into the tent, then stood there motionless like a little javelin.
Looking at Jiang Zhizhi's heroic appearance, Zhou Xiye's expression softened, a smile flashing in his eyes. He turned around, took his teacup, poured a cup of water, and then turned back to Jiang Zhizhi: "Drink some water first."
Looking at the calm and composed Zhou Xiye, Jiang Zhizhi suddenly became quite clever and blinked, "Did you already know that I was Jiang Zhizhi?"
Zhou Xiye didn't answer her, but tapped the teacup on the table: "Sit down and have some water first."
As soon as I saw her, I noticed that her originally pink and moist lips were a bit pale and dry, probably because she hadn't drunk any water after playing with Liang Dazhuang and the others all morning.
Jiang Zhizhi went over, embarrassed and annoyed, picked up the teacup and gulped down half of the tea in one go. She then carefully licked the tea off her lips, held the teacup, and looked at Zhou Xiye: "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just didn't know how to say it later."
Zhou Xiye's gaze fell on her lips, which were moistened by tea. They were as tender and pink as flower petals covered in dew, and she, unaware of it, stuck out her tongue and licked them.
He felt a tightness in his throat and his eyes darkened slightly: "It's nothing."
Jiang Zhizhi listened to Zhou Xiye say that everything was fine without any expression, and inwardly groaned, he must still be angry.
She took a step closer to Zhou Xiye, tilted her head up, and whispered, "In the beginning, it was Sun Xiaoyue who married you, but then suddenly it was me. I can't accept this, so when I saw you, I didn't reveal my identity."
"Later, since you didn't ask me, I didn't tell you."
At this point, Jiang Zhizhi had a sudden inspiration, looked up at Zhou Xiye with bright eyes, and her voice became a little more relaxed: "You've never asked me before. If you had asked me, I would definitely have told you my real name."
"So, you can't blame me for hiding my identity. Yes, that's it!"
Zhou Xiye looked down at Jiang Zhizhi, who was standing right in front of him. From being nervous at the beginning to now having a bright and mischievous look in her eyes, he suppressed the urge to reach out and pat her head: "Yes, I don't blame you."
Jiang Zhizhi felt that Zhou Xiye's reaction was too calm. Or was it that he hadn't exposed her identity since he knew she was Jiang Zhizhi, which meant he had tacitly accepted her choice?
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi's conflicted expression, Zhou Xiye knew she had misunderstood: "I respect your choice. This marriage has been a farce from the beginning. The fact that I didn't expose you is not just out of respect for you."
I hope to change your mind by spending more time with you.
Jiang Zhizhi felt relieved. She hadn't expected the confession to be so easy, and she smiled, her eyes crinkling, "I had planned to come and confess to you anyway. I was hoping you wouldn't be angry..."
He was too embarrassed to say the last four words, "I'll just coax you," so he just grinned and chuckled.
Zhou Xiye was surprised: "So what?"
Jiang Zhizhi waved her hand: "No, I just thought if you're angry, I'll apologize to you. If I apologize to you a few more times, you'll definitely soften and forgive me."
Zhou Xiye paused for a moment, then said, "It's time to eat. Come with me to the cafeteria?"
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned. She had imagined many scenarios after the confession, but she never expected Zhou Xiye to be so calm.
She was so calm that she was almost at a loss, as if this matter was not important at all?
She shook her head again: "No, I have to go back."
I feel a bit down and uncomfortable, but I can't figure out why.
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi's mood had suddenly dropped, Zhou Xiye couldn't think of a reason for it. He checked the time and said, "Let's go eat first, and then we can have a good talk."
From childhood to adulthood, except for the time when he was forcibly transferred from the front lines to the rear by his father and things went out of control, he has basically kept things under control.
They can calmly handle every unexpected situation.
For example, when he first learned of Jiang Zhizhi's identity, his mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly figured out the situation, then steadily controlled his emotions, treated her well, and let her gradually get closer to him.
Moreover, he is very traditional and conservative at heart. Even if he likes and is excited that Jiang Zhizhi is willing to reveal her identity, he will not impulsively hug her or do anything out of line.
Even though he desperately wanted to pull the person in front of him into his arms, he was still able to calmly and rationally restrain himself.
Because it's neither reasonable nor ethical!
The horn signaling dinner time had already sounded outside, so Jiang Zhizhi had no choice but to go out with Zhou Xiye.
After walking a few steps, he noticed that many tents had already been dismantled. Suddenly remembering what Zhang Zhao had said, he disregarded his inexplicable emotions and turned to look at Zhou Xiye: "Are you guys changing shifts?"
Zhou Xiye wasn't surprised that Jiang Zhizhi knew; she must have been brought in by Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao's mouth can't keep anything outside of confidentiality regulations.
He nodded slightly: "I'll be rotating to southern Yunnan in a week."
Jiang Zhizhi's heart clenched. Yunnan, in a few years, there will be a very brutal border war.
In fact, things have already started to get turbulent from this moment on.
"So... you've been staying in southern Yunnan all this time?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head: "Not sure."
They are special operations BDs, and when necessary, they must pierce the enemy's rear like a sharp knife.
When will they return? They will only return when the border is peaceful.
After eating with Zhou Xiye in the cafeteria, Jiang Zhizhi felt much calmer.
After sitting down, Zhang Zhao became more talkative: "Technician Jiang, we won't have time to eat the five pheasants you brought at noon. Can you keep them for dinner?"
Zhou Xiye was surprised: "Pheasant?"
Zhang Zhao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, boss, you have no idea how amazing Technician Jiang is. He brought over five pheasants at once, we can have an extra meal tonight."
Jiang Zhizhi maintained a stiff smile, looking helplessly at Zhang Zhao, but she really had to thank him.
She still didn't know how to tell Zhou Xiye why she had so many.
Zhang Zhao added another condition for her!
Zhou Xiye glanced at Jiang Zhizhi's stiff expression, then looked at Zhang Zhao and said calmly, "Don't call her Technician Jiang anymore."
