Chapter 3 Marry Me
After hearing what her mother said, Niu Niu understood that the fierce uncle was helping them.
After she figured it out, she was no longer so afraid of her uncle. She looked at him curiously with her big eyes blinking.
It's strange. He was as fierce as a tiger just now, but now he looks at his mother with such gentle eyes. He has turned into a big dog.
Gu Chengfeng laughed out loud, "How could I possibly let a female comrade treat me?"
"You helped me, so I should treat you!"
As they were arguing back and forth, the aunt who had just joined in said, "I think you two should stop arguing. The food that person just ordered is untouched. Don't waste it."
"Yes!" Shen Sisi smiled secretly. Although the dish was ordered by Zhao Changjiang, it had not been touched and had not been paid for, so she was not taking advantage of him.
When Gu Chengfeng heard that the dish was ordered by that pervert, he lost his appetite.
"If you like it, take it away. Sisi and I will order some new ones."
Shen Sisi sighed, Senior Gu is still as domineering as ever, and he is also very mysophobic.
“Okay… don’t waste it.” Shen Sisi tugged at the corner of his clothes and motioned him to sit down.
Gu Chengfeng's eyes darkened as he glanced at the slightly wrinkled corner of the clothes without a sound. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Okay, I can't beat you."
As soon as he sat down, he reached into his pocket and took out the candy he had prepared long ago, holding it until it was about to melt.
"This is..." He looked at the sickly little girl.
Shen Sisi did not shy away from introducing herself, "My daughter, her full name is Shen Xingyue, and her nickname is Niuniu."
Gu Chengfeng had a subtle look on his face. His last name was Chen, but he didn't take his father's.
He opened his mouth and tried to force a warm smile. He hadn't smiled for a long time and he didn't know how strange his smile looked.
Niu Niu was timid and shrank back into Shen Sisi's arms out of fear, leaving Gu Chengfeng at a loss as to what to do, and he quickly took out the candy.
"Uncle came suddenly and didn't prepare anything for you. This is White Rabbit Milk Candy. It's very sweet. Would you like to try it?"
Gu Chengfeng was a little incoherent. After all, he was good at scaring children, but coaxing a child... was his first time in his life.
Shen Sisi touched the round little head in her arms: "Niuniu, what did your mother teach you? You should be polite. Look, your uncle gave you candy, what should you say?"
Niu Niu raised her head timidly, and the moment she saw the candy, flames lit up in her small, bean-sized eyes.
Toffee...sweet, soft and sticky toffee!
She is already three years old and has only eaten milk candy once. She almost forgot what it tasted like. She only remembers that it was sweet, especially sweet, and the more she ate, the more her mouth watered.
Niu Niu swallowed and looked at Shen Sisi tentatively.
After getting her mother's affirmation, she dared to stretch out her small hand and said thank you uncle in a baby voice.
The word "uncle" made Gu Chengfeng's heart melt.
He carefully peeled off the candy wrapper. After Niu Niu took it, she didn't put it into her mouth immediately, but raised it to Shen Sisi's mouth.
“Mom, eat!”
Seeing her so well-behaved and sensible, Shen Sisi's nose was sore: "Good girl, mom doesn't like it, you eat it!"
"Mom, eat it!" Niuniu stubbornly rubbed the candy to her lips: "Eat the candy, and Mom will feel less sad..."
Shen Sisi's arms tightened unconsciously, unable to believe that these were words a three-year-old could say.
The tears were like a dam bursting, constantly rolling around in my eyes.
"Be good, I'm not sad at all. As long as Niuniu is here, Mommy is fine!"
He saw clearly that she was pretending to be strong.
He tightened his hands under the table again and again, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
He wanted to ask more, but was afraid of touching on her sad story.
After all, they had just "met by chance" and "reunited", and it was too offensive to ask about someone's privacy directly.
So, he suppressed his curiosity and asked with concern: "Child, what's going on..."
"She had tuberculosis. When she was little, Niu Niu didn't have milk to drink, so her constitution wasn't very good. Once she caught a cold and had a fever, but there was no medicine in the countryside, and by the time we got her to the city, it was too late."
Every time this matter was mentioned, Shen Sisi blamed herself terribly.
She didn't take good care of Niuniu...
So, she went to the city this time just to find a father for Niu Niu.
Niu Niu's tuberculosis is getting worse. If she doesn't go to the city for treatment, she may not survive this winter.
Otherwise, why would she be treated like a commodity, meeting several men every day, being picked and chosen, and being pointed at and called a slut and shameless?
Only if she marries a man from the city and moves her household registration back to the city can Niu Niu go to the city for medical treatment as soon as possible.
Thinking of the purpose of this trip and the humiliation she had suffered these days, she forced her tears back into her eyes. After swallowing the bitter water, she pretended to be calm and said, "It's not a big deal. I will take good care of her."
A deep darkness flashed across Gu Chengfeng's eyes.
Tuberculosis, not a big deal?
It is difficult to cure under current medical conditions.
Gu Chengfeng knew that she was very strong-willed and independent, but sometimes she could be less strong.
However, from her words, he seemed to smell the truth behind her blind date in the city - for Niuniu!
"So, you went on a blind date so that Niu Niu could go to the city and receive better treatment, right?" he asked straight to the point.
Shen Sisi looked at him in astonishment, meeting his hawk-like sharp gaze: "Sure enough... nothing can be hidden from you."
"Yes, I do want to find a father for Niu Niu so that I can transfer her household registration to the city. I don't intend to hide this from others. After all, they have the right to know. If they agree, I can live a good life with them, but..."
She smiled self-deprecatingly. The blind dates she had gone on in the past few days had made her realize that no man would be willing to accept them.
They would rather accept a divorced woman with children.
But he dare not accept a woman who is not married but has children.
She didn't want to tell Senior Gu about these bad things, but since others had seen through them, she had nothing to hide.
Gu Chengfeng coughed lightly, his heart leaping into his throat. He took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed: "If you have any difficulties, why don't you come to me?"
"You?" Shen Sisi raised her eyes slightly: "How can you help me?"
"Marry me!" When Gu Chengfeng said this, his eyes were filled with warmth as gentle as flowing water, so gentle that it made people dazed.
Fortunately, she hadn't picked up her chopsticks yet, otherwise she would have spit out her food. "Don't tease me, I heard people say that you've become a battalion commander, a young and promising officer... There are plenty of girls chasing after you."
Unlike her joke, Gu Chengfeng was extremely serious, his eyes firm as if he was swearing: "I'm serious."
"You really didn't lie to me?"
"I'm not lying to you!"
Shen Sisi's smile cooled as she looked seriously at the heroic and handsome face in front of her. Beneath his sword-like eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes were proud and noble, with starlight hidden in his black pupils.
Compared to before, Gu Chengfeng is now less arrogant and has more of a soldier's integrity and perseverance. With his neat green military uniform, I wonder how many girls he will charm when he walks on the street.
Unlike her... notorious and despised.
They are so different, how could it be possible...
