Chapter 122 They're siblings!
Jiang Zhizhi and Shang Xingzhou took the thief to the police station and gave their statements.
Shang Xingzhou called her "sister" so affectionately that Jiang Zhizhi was a little helpless: "How old are you?"
Shang Xingzhou smiled broadly: "Seventeen."
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at him sideways: "Wow, you're only seventeen, but you're quite tall. You don't sound like you're from around here either. Where are you from?"
Shang Xingzhou nodded: "My parents are from Beijing, but I was born in Shanghai."
Looking at his fair and clean appearance, Jiang Zhizhi didn't think he was going to the countryside for labor education, so she asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
Shang Xingzhou said somewhat embarrassedly, “I sneaked out of my house because I wanted to see what my idol looks like. I want to take him as my role model and take up arms to defend my country!”
Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Jiang Zhizhi was still curious: "You sneaked out of the house, weren't you afraid of getting caught?"
Shang Xingzhou looked around to make sure no one was watching, and said in a very low voice, "My dad's secretary helped me get a pass to leave the house and a receipt for my accommodation. I even had to fill in the dates myself."
Jiang Zhizhi thought to herself, "Good heavens, privilege is a powerful thing in any era."
Shang Xingzhou said with some regret, "It's a pity that I haven't even met the person I admire before he went on a mission. I don't know if I'll be able to wait for him to come back."
A thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Zhizhi's mind: "Who do you admire?"
Shang Xingzhou glanced at Jiang Zhizhi: "You wouldn't know this, but I heard he doesn't like girls who are too delicate."
Jiang Zhizhi chuckled: "You can just say it directly, maybe I really do know him."
Shang Xingzhou raised his chin with a hint of pride: "Zhou Xiye is amazing. When he was stationed at the Galwan River border, the other side kept causing trouble. He directly led his men to sneak over and captured the other side's commander, scaring them so much that they haven't dared to cause trouble at the border for the past two years."
Jiang Zhizhi guessed it was Zhou Xiye, but hearing it from Shang Xingzhou's mouth still made her feel incredibly proud.
My back straightened up a bit without me even realizing it.
Shang Xingzhou continued, "Also, he is the most skilled marksman in the Northwest. Even Bian Zhan ranks behind him. Even if we rank the entire army, I think he would definitely be number one."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed out loud: "You're exaggerating a bit. You need to know that there are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. Saying things like that can easily bring trouble to the people you admire."
Shang Xingzhou exclaimed, "You still don't believe me? I just think Zhou Xiye is the best."
Jiang Zhizhi walked a few steps with her hands behind her back, then suddenly stopped in front of Shang Xingzhou and said with some pride, "Thank you for your affirmation of him. Let me also introduce you to Zhou Xiye, my husband. We just got our marriage certificate."
Shang Xingzhou froze for five seconds, staring at Jiang Zhizhi with disbelief, his words full of skepticism: "Are you telling the truth? You really are Zhou Xiye's lover? You don't seem like it."
Jiang Zhizhi was puzzled: "What do you mean by 'not like'? What do you think Zhou Xiye's lover should look like?"
Shang Xingzhou thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head: "I hadn't thought about it. I thought he wasn't married."
After saying that, she suddenly accepted the fact that Jiang Zhizhi was Zhou Xiye's lover and excitedly asked, "When will he be able to come back? I'm joining the army this winter. I've already talked to my dad, and he'll assign me to Zhou Xiye's command."
His father readily agreed to this, since his son was going to the most difficult place to suffer, and this was not considered using connections.
Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "I don't know, but you've already seen it."
Shang Xingzhou asked in surprise, "I've seen you before? When?"
"That was the day you almost bumped into me, and then you said sorry, and a man told you it was okay and told you to go. Do you remember?"
After Jiang Zhizhi finished speaking, Shang Xingzhou stood there stunned for several seconds, then stared at her with wide eyes and screamed, "It's you? The person I almost bumped into that day was you? I didn't even see clearly before someone stopped me. That person looked so serious, I didn't dare to look him in the eye. The pressure he gave me was just like when my dad scolds me."
"Ah, that's Zhou Xiye!"
The more he talked, the more frustrated he became, slapping his head: "I'm so stupid, how could I not have thought of that? How could an ordinary person have such an aura?"
Jiang Zhizhi looked at him with a smile, but when she heard him compare Zhou Xiye to his father, she was both amused and exasperated.
After pacing around in circles a few times, Shang Xingzhou finally calmed down: "Sister, come on! I'll treat you to dinner, and you can tell me all about Zhou Xiye."
Jiang Zhizhi refused: "Don't you know a lot? Besides, you're going to serve under Zhou Xiye, so you'll have plenty of time to get to know him later."
Shang Xingzhou was a little anxious: "That will take a long time. I need to go to the army first, then after the new recruits are assigned to their companies after the New Year, I can be assigned to their division, and then I can enter their special operations brigade through the all-around competition, and finally be assigned to their command."
It will take at least two years.
Jiang Zhizhi was worn down by his nagging, and most importantly, his charming face made it hard for her to resist. So she went to the nearby state-run restaurant with Shang Xingzhou.
Shang Xingzhou was quite wealthy; he ordered four dishes—two meat and two vegetable—along with two servings of white rice.
Jiang Zhizhi whispered a reminder to him, "Eating like this is a bit extravagant. You should be more discreet when you go out."
Shang Xingzhou didn't mind: "Sister, I know I'm trying to save money. This is just me treating you to a meal."
Neither of them noticed that Sun Xiaoyue had been watching them from the shadows. Afraid of being discovered by Jiang Zhizhi, Sun Xiaoyue stayed far away and watched the two enter the state-run restaurant. After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare to go in.
The main reason is that she doesn't dare to provoke Jiang Zhizhi, that lunatic, at all. She would actually dare to beat her up in public.
But in her heart she was thinking, in her past life, Shang Xingzhou was so rich, but he never got married. Was it because of Jiang Zhizhi?
That doesn't seem right either. Where exactly did I go wrong?
Sun Xiaoyue rubbed her head, feeling a little regretful. In her previous life, she had only heard some things about Jiang Zhizhi, but hadn't inquired about them in detail, mainly because she was afraid that knowing too much would upset her.
In this way, she was reborn, but missed many important details.
...
Jiang Zhizhi quite liked Shang Xingzhou; he was only seventeen years old, and he was polite and attentive during meals.
Seeing that she liked to eat fish, I asked for a pair of chopsticks and picked out the fish meat with fewer bones from the belly for her.
Seeing that she didn't like scrambled eggs with scallions, he moved the scrambled eggs with scallions to his side.
Jiang Zhizhi felt quite embarrassed: "You eat by yourself. I'm a grown man, do I need a little kid like you to take care of me?"
Shang Xingzhou shook his head: "My dad said this is dining etiquette. Besides, sister, is your arm injured? It's only right that I take care of you."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled, her eyes crinkling: "You're quite observant."
Shang Xingzhou was taken aback: "Sister, your smile looks just like my mom's..."
