Jiang Li shared her idea with them, and they all agreed to make jerky as well.
"Then we might have to go out and find some seasonings, otherwise we might not have enough. We don't know if the base sells any."
"Okay, how about we go out tomorrow and rest today?"
Gu Jin asked for everyone's opinion, and everyone felt there was no problem.
After discussing the specifics with everyone, Jiang Li said goodbye and went back.
"Let me take you there."
"No need, it's just a short distance, I can manage on my own."
Jiang Li declined Gu Jin's request, saying that she could easily manage such a short distance on her own.
"Let the captain take you. It's so late, and it's still snowing outside. You're a girl, and we're definitely worried about you going home alone."
It was Shi Lin who spoke. Fang Qingxun was quite surprised when Shi Lin spoke. She was not surprised by what he said, but by the fact that he had spoken so much on his own initiative. However, despite her surprise, she did not say anything more.
"Yes, I'll take you. That way I'll feel more at ease."
"Oh well."
After putting on hats, masks, and gloves, and getting dressed, Jiang Li took a deep breath before daring to open the door.
The moment I opened the door, a blast of cold air rushed into my body. Every breath I took felt exceptionally cold. The snow was still falling outside, but not as heavily as before.
They waved to the others at the door and then walked outside.
The road they had cleared during the day was now covered with a thick layer of mud. The two walked side by side, their steps uneven, leaving a trail of footprints behind them.
Suddenly Gu Jin stopped.
"Jiang Li."
"Um?"
Jiang Li also stopped and turned to look at Gu Jin, wondering why he had stopped.
"I have something I want to tell you."
"What's going on?"
Gu Jin recalled what Shi Lin had told her. Not only was Fang Qingxun surprised when Shi Lin spoke up earlier, but she herself was also quite surprised.
Because Shi Lin wasn't a talkative person, I glanced at him and saw him mouth "Good luck" to me.
He himself hadn't expected that his feelings for Jiang Li had become so obvious.
"It's too windy here, let's go downstairs and talk."
Jiang Li frowned slightly, feeling that Gu Jin was acting strangely. He was the one who stopped and the one who wanted to leave, but he still followed him forward. Perhaps there really was something important going on.
Anyway, I have plenty of patience.
The two quickly went downstairs. As soon as they entered the building, Gu Jin couldn't wait to take off her mask so that Jiang Li could clearly see her expression.
"Jiang Li, I'm going to be serious about what I'm about to say. What do you think of me?"
Although Jiang Li didn't understand why he asked that question or what it had to do with what he wanted to say, she still answered him seriously.
"He's a really nice person, capable, and very skilled."
"So what do you think of my looks? Everyone says I'm good-looking, and I think I'm alright too."
Jiang Li...
So how am I supposed to answer that?
Fortunately, Gu Jin didn't actually ask Jiang Li to answer.
"So Jiang Li, do you think I can be your boyfriend?"
Gu Jin finally asked the question, looking nervously at Jiang Li.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li's mind went blank for a moment.
Gu Jin is good-looking and capable. After knowing each other for so long, Jiang Li has never felt uncomfortable with their interactions.
Although the two didn't chat all the time, even when they were together in silence, they didn't seem to feel awkward.
It seems there are no problems at all; everything is fine.
The main thing is that after Gu Jin brought it up, she didn't seem to mind at all.
Seeing that Jiang Li didn't react, Gu Jin assumed that Jiang Li wouldn't agree, but still continued to speak.
"I'm skilled, and I'll protect you immediately if there's any danger. I'll also earn points, and I'll give you all the points I earn in the future."
"I'll do whatever you want to do from now on."
"And I swear on my life that I will only ever be good to you from now on and will never betray you."
Jiang Li looked at Gu Jin and saw that he had already said so much in the short time he was in a daze, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Jiang Li only realized what was happening at this moment and took off her mask.
"But I don't know you yet."
"I can tell you anything you want to know. I am 1.9 meters tall, have no bad habits, am 29 years old, and am currently in good health. I am an orphan and used to be a mercenary."
When Gu Jin heard Jiang Li's question, she calmed down a bit and immediately gave him all her information.
"Mercenaries?" Jiang Li didn't know much about this industry.
"Yes, we usually stay near the border and often go on missions, such as transporting weapons. We mostly transport to China. When it's inconvenient for them to come out in person, they will come to us."
"I understand. So, are they all like that too?"
"Yes, we are all orphans, and we grew up on the border. We were influenced by what we saw and heard, so it was only natural that we ended up in this line of work."
"Is this line of work very dangerous?" Gu Jin had been injured before, and I had seen all sorts of wounds on her body.
"Yes, some of them can be quite dangerous."
Jiang Li finally understood. No wonder she thought Gu Jin looked like a soldier, but not quite. It was quite contradictory. Now she finally had an explanation.
"Is there anything else you want to know? I'll definitely tell you everything you want to know."
"No more for now."
"Then you..."
Gu Jin started to get nervous again. She didn't know what Jiang Li was thinking or whether he would agree. She was afraid that if she asked, Jiang Li would reject her.
