Chapter 110: The Old Man's Scheming

Zhou Jihuai really didn't want to listen to his nagging, but he didn't hang up for Wen Zhile's sake.

He put the microphone on the table and lowered his head to continue writing the training plan.

When the phone was silent, he picked it up and put it to his ear: "Zhizhi called you?"

"..." Shu Chengan choked.

So after talking for so long, Brother Huai only cares about this one sentence?

"Not only that, I also saw Zhizhi." Shu Chengan said in a sly voice, "Brother Huai, you haven't seen Zhizhi recently, have you? She didn't call you either?"

"..." Zhou Jihuai knocked on the table, and the pen made a few muffled sounds on the wooden table. "I have met him. We had dinner together last Sunday."

"Then it seems that you didn't call." Shu Cheng'an's depressed mood caused by Qiao Fei's perfunctory treatment suddenly turned sunny, "Hey, Zhizhi has too many classes this week. It's not easy to make time to call. Brother Huai, don't be sad."

Zhou Jihuai sneered: "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Shu Cheng'an immediately made a move, "It's pointless for you to be so reserved all the time. Why don't you just be frank with Zhizhi and let her give you the straight answer."

"Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

Shu Chengan smiled and said, "That makes no difference."

Zhou Jihuai said calmly: "You went crazy because you wanted to use me as a mine sweeper, and I went crazy because I believed what you said."

"Zhizhi is different from your Qiao Fei."

"Qiao Fei doesn't like you. If you make it clear, you will only die faster. But Zhizhi hasn't figured it out yet. I have the opportunity to influence her subtly and boil her in warm water."

"Hey, is this how these two words are used?" Shu Cheng'an said with a sigh, "What's the idiom that says this? A scheming old man."

The operator held his breath and ate the melon without even blinking.

Captain Zhou actually likes female comrades but doesn't dare to say it openly. If the female comrades in the army who like Captain Zhou knew about this, there would be an uproar.

Who is the Zhizhi he is talking about? Why have I never heard of him before?

"Anything else?"

A clear question came from the microphone, and the operator came back to his senses.

"It's okay." After complaining, Shu Chengan felt much better. He even felt like sleeping. "Hang up. Go to sleep."

Zhou Jihuai looked at the clock and hung up the phone.

A good time is spent sleeping, wasting time.

He put down his pen and looked out the window at the rising half moon.

Zhizhi should be attending evening self-study class now.

Zhou Jihuai thought of the videotape that Changsheng took that day, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

Although it was not a good thing that he missed the appointment that day due to a serious injury, whenever he thought of her anxious and sad look when he didn't show up, a secret joy slowly rose in his heart.

In addition, Zhizhi's expression that day was as if he knew something had happened to him, but this was too unbelievable, so he was always suspicious.

"Student Wen!"

After evening self-study, Wen Zhile returned to the dormitory and heard the dormitory manager calling her. She turned around and walked over.

The dorm manager was eating sunflower seeds. When Wen Zhile passed by, she grabbed a handful and stuffed them into Wen Zhile's pocket: "Here's your phone number."

Wen Zhile was a little slow, so he had to hold his hand to avoid dropping the melon seeds: "Thank you, who called?"

"That comrade said his last name was Zhou." The dormitory manager leaned against the window sill, holding a handful of melon seeds, and said as he ate them, "He has a nice voice. Is he your friend?"

Wen Zhile inserted the phone card and replied casually, "My brother."

She dialed the number of the Southern Military Region skillfully and wondered why Zhou Jihuai called her so late?

The call was answered by the operator and transferred to Zhou Jihuai's office.

Wen Zhile avoided the dorm manager's sight, pulled the phone cord and turned to the other side. The phone was connected at this time, and she said, "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

She thought Zhou Jihuai was looking for her for something urgent, but she heard the man ask slowly, "Have you finished your evening study?"

"Ah, I'm done with class. I just returned to the dormitory."

Zhou Jihuai finished chatting and talked about something that he had used as an excuse after twisting his head a few times: "Changsheng said that Taiwan is busy recently, so Director Zhang didn't have time to go to school for the time being, but he will be done with his work soon, and he should go to see Aunt Shu this week."

"I see. Did you ask Brother Chang specifically?"

Zhou Jihuai denied: "He came to my house to visit my parents and they started chatting."

"My family went to the Foreign Trade Building to buy some things yesterday. I asked them to buy a few boxes of your favorite fruit-flavored hard candies. Which day do you have less classes? I'll send them to you."
