Chapter 98: The Young Lady

"Are you back?" Zhou Jihuai heard the door open.

Wen Zhile responded and went to the bathroom to apply medicine in front of the mirror.

The man came out with a basin of fruit after a while, and Wen Zhile had finished applying the medicine.

The two met in the living room, Zhou Jihuai took out the TV remote control and handed Wen Zhile a bunch of grapes.

He rarely watched TV programs, so after asking her about her preferences, he tuned into Jingzhou TV.

Wen Zhile actually didn’t watch TV much, but her family often watched Journey to the West on Jingzhou TV, so she followed suit.

With Journey to the West playing in the background, Wen Zhile mentioned Tang Lin and Jiang Zhao.

"Tang Lin said that after Jiang Zhao arrives, the four of us will have dinner together. I didn't know if you wanted to go, so I didn't give a direct answer."

This was within Zhou Jihuai's expectations.

Jiang Zhao's father wanted to come to Jingzhou to develop, so it was time to start arranging relationships. He couldn't come by himself, so he had to let Jiang Zhao do it for him.

"There's no problem with having dinner." Zhizhi will cooperate with Tang Lin for a long time in the future. It's just a meal, and there's no need to refuse their face.

Dudududu——

Zhou Jihuai stood up to open the door. Wen Zhile heard his uncle's voice and walked towards the door.

"How is Zhizhi?" Shu Ye asked as soon as he entered the room.

"Uncle~" The little girl was holding a bunch of grapes in her hand. She looked rosy-cheeked with red lips and white teeth, but the marks on her neck were really unsightly.

As soon as Shu Ye saw the marks of strangulation, he knew how hard the criminal had hit him, and he became furious.

"Hey, uncle is passing by here and came to see you."

He walked into the living room, glanced at the fruit on the coffee table and the turned on TV, turned around and saw his niece's bare feet wearing large slippers, and looked at Zhou Jihuai carefully.

Zhou Jihuai's mind was not clear and he could not stand his scrutiny, but he was well-trained in his profession and he remained calm when facing the scrutiny. His face did not show any emotion and people could not tell what he was thinking.

Shu Ye withdrew his gaze after two minutes, smiled at him, and expressed his gratitude for him taking in his niece.

"Zhizhi, your cousin said that you will be staying at Ji Huai's house for a few days?"

After he finished speaking, he heard his niece's affirmative answer.

"Uncle, I live in the army, not here." Zhou Jihuai stated.

Shu Ye felt relieved: "Do you need anything? I'll bring it to you."

Wen Zhile thought for a moment and said, "No shortage."

"The daily necessities and slippers are all newly bought. Zhizhi just needs some change of clothes for the next few days." Zhou Jihuai spoke after her.

The little girl blushed.

She originally planned to wash her clothes before going to bed at night and wear them the next day. There was a washing machine and a dryer in the bathroom, so it was convenient to wash and dry quickly, and she didn't need to trouble her uncle to make a trip.

Besides being troublesome, it was embarrassing to ask her uncle to help her get her underwear.

Zhou Jihuai didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Wen Zhile might not be used to not changing her clothes for three days. After he said that, he saw the little girl's cheeks blushing and then realized what was going on. He quickly changed the subject: "You can buy new clothes. Don't bother you."

Shu Ye didn't say much, just chatted for a few more sentences, and left only after observing that his niece's mental state was fine.

Before leaving, he asked Xiao Zhang to stay with him: "If you go out, let Xiao Zhang follow you."

Wen Zhile was stunned for a second: "Uncle, Comrade Zhang is your bodyguard. It's not appropriate for him to follow me. You should take Comrade Zhang away."

She knew that her uncle was worried about her safety because he had been attacked once, so she comforted him, "The suspect has been caught. Jingzhou is safe now. No one will hurt me."

Wen Zhile pulled Zhou Jihuai's arm.

Zhou Jihuai agreed: "Yes, it's very safe."

He and Shu Ye thought about going together. After what happened, he was worried about her going out alone.

Because I care too much, I go too far in making corrections.

Shu Ye disagreed, and the two of them together couldn't persuade him.

Wen Zhile's lips were almost worn out, but she still failed to pull back her uncle's stubborn temper. Seeing Shu Ye getting in the car and leaving, she immediately held his arm and refused to let go: "I won't go out these few days, I really won't go out, so I don't need anyone to protect me. I will go back to school next Monday, so I don't need anyone to protect me."

Shu Ye opened his mouth, but Wen Zhile interrupted him, looking at him with watery eyes: "How can I go to school with a security guard around me? My classmates will say that I am acting like a spoiled brat, how unpleasant it is."

"Uncle, if you don't agree, I won't let you go."

"..." Shu Ye moved his arm, and Wen Zhile grabbed it tightly.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take Xiao Zhang back."

Wen Zhile quickly let go: "Goodbye, uncle. I'll come visit you next weekend."

Shu Ye tapped her forehead and got into the car with a smile.

The jeep drove away, and Zhou Jihuai took out the car key: "Zhizhi, I'll take you to buy clothes."

Wen Zhile was shocked. She didn't dare to imagine the scene of Zhou Jihuai accompanying her to buy underwear.

"No, no, no, no, I'll just wash it at night and do it the next day."

Zhou Jihuai wanted to say something, but Wen Zhile pulled him upstairs. The TV was still playing Journey to the West, and the two sat down on the sofa.

After watching for a while, it was time for the ending song. She took a bite of the apple, and there was a crisp sound.

"Brother, let's eat dumplings tonight~"
