Chapter 158: Selfish Motives
"Aunt Qin, what are you looking at? What kind of peep show have you seen?"
Several military wives were walking and talking, and when they turned around, they found that Aunt Qin, who had been chattering just now, suddenly stopped, staring at the guesthouse with her mouth open.
They looked at each other, threw their baskets behind them, and started to chase after him.
Aunt Qin came back to her senses when they called her.
She said with a forced smile, "Nothing! I saw a tabby cat. It's quite distinctive."
"What's so interesting about a cat? It's good enough to catch mice!"
Aunt Qin nodded, took a few quick steps, and caught up without being seen by others.
She didn't say anything during the rest of the journey. She kept thinking, why did Zhu Yunying come to the guesthouse with another man?!
Does Captain Feng know about this?
…
The largest sunny room in the guesthouse.
In addition to a bed and a desk, there are also two sofa chairs in the room!
Song Xiaotian helped Xiaowu carry the thermos and brought it into the room.
A pile of food appeared on the table without me noticing: sesame peach cakes, fried baby chicken and a few apples.
Better than Chinese New Year food!
Song Xiaotian's gaze fell on Zhu Yunying intentionally or unintentionally, but he really couldn't tell where she had hidden the things just now!
"Master Song, please put the hot water at the door. I'm going to chat with my family for a while and will be back soon."
Zhu Yunyao smiled and saw the guest off, and Song Xiaotian couldn't stay long.
Xiao Wu looked at the pile of food on the table and scratched his head again: "I can't eat all this, it's too much!"
"If you can't finish it, eat slowly. A young man this big, are you still worried about eating too much?"
Zhu Yunwei smiled.
Xiao Wu did not waste any time and directly took out the things that Director Jiang asked him to bring from his bag.
"Here are your mother's medical records, post-injury photos, and the accident investigation report. Everything had originally been handled, following the proper procedures, and it was a done deal. But then Xu Hansheng intervened and reported it. Director Jiang didn't take it seriously at first, but his report was successful, and he was subsequently released from Haicheng. We're a little scared now, so we're thinking of sending the original documents over to you for safekeeping."
Zhu Yunying flipped through the shocking report, feeling a wave of cold water pouring down her heart.
It was clearly just an ordinary accident, and there were many eyewitnesses when Zhu Qingyin rescued people at the fire scene.
But after all these years, I haven't been able to get a single spot.
After all, the entire Zhu family is the protagonist group's small treasury and the spoils of the male protagonist Xu Hansheng's PUA cannon fodder "Zhu Yunwei".
Xiao Wu felt aggrieved when he mentioned this matter, and finally said, "Although the materials have been delivered, Director Jiang still submitted the application! In a few months, when there is progress on the application and it needs to be reviewed, we can use these materials to check it out."
"I understand. The main thing is to keep these materials safe." Zhu Yunying smiled. "Thank you and Director Jiang for your hard work. I will keep them safe."
Xiao Wu watched Zhu Yunying put the things into her shoulder bag and suddenly felt a little disappointed.
My mission was accomplished, but I wasn't particularly happy.
Instead, I felt guilty for not being able to do more for her.
Could have been better.
"It's a little late today. I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow at noon. How about we go to a state-owned restaurant and have a nice meal?"
As Zhu Yunying spoke, she stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
Looking at the table full of food, Xiao Wu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he was reluctant to do so. After seeing it once, he didn't know when they would meet again.
He was silent.
Zhu Yunying raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "When we were in Haicheng, you were quite impressive! You could scare the Wu family into submission. How come you don't even want to talk after not seeing you for two months?"
She took a few steps back, raised her chin, looked him over, and gave him a thumbs-up. "You've really grown up! Now you don't look like a student anymore, you look like another Director Jiang."
Xiao Wu's cheeks turned slightly red.
When Director Jiang was handling Xu Hansheng's report, Xiao Wu secretly observed the man surnamed Xu. He had slicked back hair and powdered face, and apart from being neatly dressed, he acted like a young capitalist, and there was really nothing outstanding about him.
But for some unknown reason, before leaving, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a similar set of clothes.
The salesperson at that time even joked and asked the young man if he was going to meet his girlfriend.
Xiao Wu just wondered if Zhu Yunying would look at him more if he dressed like Xu Hansheng.
I came here with selfish motives.
He only had one set of clothes. When he stayed at home, he wore the most ordinary sweatshirt and cotton pants, but once he went out, he dressed neatly.
I wasn't particularly familiar with her to begin with, and it was only thanks to Director Jiang that I was able to get to know Zhu Yunying.
Xiao Wu was once worried that Zhu Yunying would not recognize him.
I've been here for several days, but no one has come to the guesthouse to look for me.
He was restless every day. When he couldn't wait any longer, he would change into a shirt and trousers and go for a walk outside. He didn't dare to go far, for fear that Zhu Yunying would suddenly appear and he would find her empty-handed.
Careful and cautious, nervous and uneasy, these feelings disappeared instantly when Zhu Yunwei recognized him at a glance.
Xiao Wu was happy. When she called him, her voice was as gentle as heavenly music. But it didn't last long. He said, "My brother has been sent to hell again."
Alas... In her eyes, I'm afraid I will always be just a younger brother.
"I'm unfamiliar with the place, and I'm worried someone might bully the students, so I dressed a little more formally. No...nothing special."
Xiao Wu justified himself by saying, "It's getting late. Yunying... Sister, why don't you go back early? The compound is very far away, and no one nearby knows its exact location."
"Well, there's a border post not far from the town, and almost no civilians go there. I'll have a shuttle bus soon, so don't worry. I'll see you tomorrow!"
As Zhu Yunying said this, she opened the door, said goodbye to everyone, and asked Xiaowu not to see her off.
She walked down the stairs with a brisk pace, carrying a bag full of documents.
Xiao Wu stood at the window and watched her leave.
…
Zhu Yunying also gave Song Xiaotian some instructions, hoping that he could take better care of his younger brother.
Song Xiaotian agreed.
Zhu Yunwei left satisfied.
I looked at the time and the shuttle bus should have left.
So she got on her bike with confidence and rode back leisurely.
I rode all the way to the alley next to the supply and marketing cooperative, took a casual glance, and was almost scared to fall off the bike.
That's strange!
How come I see Sister Dong and Feng Shuo together?
When she stood firm and looked carefully, the person was gone again!
"I must have seen it wrong! Those two have nothing in common, how could they know each other?"
Zhu Yunying shook her head and rode quickly towards the compound.
In the alley.
Sister Dong ran out of breath and finally stopped the anxious young man.
"Here! I've brought everything you want! Do you still want to buy something?"
Feng Shuo failed to buy the Chinese medicine, and planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a small gift for Zhu Yunying to cheer her up, but was stopped by Sister Dong.
He lowered his eyes, looked at the herbs his eldest sister was holding in her coat pocket, and narrowed his eyes: "Didn't you say I shouldn't rush things? Why are you still rushing to send them to me?"
"You buy it and it's up to you when you want to eat it! I have something going on at home and I won't be home these few days. If you want to buy it, it's not easy to find me. Young man, I was thinking of you, so I came to try my luck nearby. Do you understand what kindness means?"
Sister Dong snorted.
Feng Shuo looked at the herbs, which looked as fresh as if they had just been pulled out of the ground. He guessed that the lady selling the herbs didn't have any herbs at first, and since he bought them frequently, she must have dug them specially!
He saw through it but didn't say anything: "Well, I want them all!"
"Good, good, good! I promise you'll be reborn strong, your illness will be cured, and you'll have many children!"
Feng Shuo's Adam's apple moved, and he responded with "hmm" after a long while.
