In the twilight, the coldness in Song Huaiwen's eyes surged like waves. The sea breeze swept past with a salty smell, but it blew away the frost that had condensed around his body.
Shen Nanqing was about to explain the whole story, and Zhao Jun began to describe it vividly.
After listening, Song Huaiwen frowned and looked gloomy, but Zhao Zhuo's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.
Zhao Zhuo saw Lin Haizhu just now and wanted to speak, but those decisive words rang in his ears, and the words were swallowed back when they reached his lips.
Hearing about Lin Haizhu's experience from Zhao Jun's mouth, he could no longer control his anger. Veins bulged in his neck and he rushed out without saying a word.
This scene happened so suddenly that no one expected Zhao Zhuo to react so violently. Lin Haizhu rushed over and grabbed his arm, and her cuffs were wrinkled: "Don't go, we have already reported the case."
"But Changhu has not been caught yet." Zhao Zhuo said in a muffled voice.
Lin Haizhu stopped Zhao Zhuo and turned to ask for help. Song Huaiwen came over and held his shoulders tightly, his muscles tense as iron: "You should stay calm when encountering things. What are you doing rushing in like this?"
"I..." Zhao Zhuo froze, suddenly deflated, and stood there in a daze.
Song Huaiwen pulled the man back into the house. Shen Nanqing and Zhao Wangjun looked at each other with doubts in their eyes. They looked at Lin Haizhu and then at Zhao Wangzhuo with inquiries in their eyes.
Zhao Jun pursed his lips and asked tentatively: "Brother, have you and Haizhu known each other for a long time?"
Zhao Zhuo heard this and glanced towards Lin Haizhu unconsciously, but his ears felt hot and he nodded sullenly, "I know her."
"How do you know me?" Zhao Jun winked cunningly and deliberately dragged out his voice, "Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Zhao 뀗卓 looked away, "We just know each other, why are there so many questions?"
Shen Nanqing saw that Lin Haizhu was uneasy. The atmosphere between her and Zhao Zhuo was a little strange. They didn't dare to look each other in the eye. She smiled and said, "Huai Wen, you and Zhao Zhuo just came back. Rest in the house first. We'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner."
After saying that, he blinked at Song Huaiwen and raised his chin towards Zhao Zhuo, meaning that Zhao Zhuo is left to you.
Shen Nanqing went outside the courtyard gate to bring the bucket back in, then went to the well to pump water into the basin.
Lin Haizhu remained silent, concentrating on processing the seafood.
Zhao Yujun had been hesitant to speak, and when she wanted to open her mouth, she saw Shen Nanqing shaking her head at her, so she swallowed back all her questions.
In fact, she already had a vague shadow in her mind. Zhao Jun glanced at the shell wind chime hanging on the eaves. This wind chime belonged to the Lin family and she also had it. It was given to her by her elder brother.
After that night, no one mentioned the matter again, and Song Huaiwen and Zhao Xiaozhuo started to go out early and come back late.
Shen Nanqing has been particularly sleepy recently and went to bed very early at night. When she woke up, Song Huaiwen had already left the house.
That day, the morning light poured into the room through the window lattice. Shen Nanqing woke up in a daze, and subconsciously reached out to his side, and his palm touched a warm area.
Just as her fingertips touched the familiar outline, there was a rustling sound beside her, and a man with a faint minty scent took her into his arms.
"Awake?" Song Huaiwen's low voice was hoarse from waking up in the morning, and his chin gently rubbed the top of her head.
Shen Nanqing raised his eyes in surprise. When he saw the other person's face clearly, he buried his head in his arms and burrowed into his arms, his nose close to his mouth. Listening to the steady and powerful beating sound, the corners of his mouth rose consciously: "Are you done with the work?"
"Yeah." Song Huaiwen ran his fingers through her slightly messy hair and gently smoothed it down. "Chang Hu has been arrested."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nanqing hurriedly struggled to get up from his arms, but Song Huaiwen held him back in his arms, "Sleep with me for a while longer."
"So you've been coming home late these days because you want to catch Chang Hu!" Shen Nanqing thought there was some mission in the army!
She knew about the confidentiality regulations, but she never dared to ask.
Song Huaiwen closed his eyes and said "Hmm", "Even if this guy is caught, there will always be a hidden danger. Now we can all sleep peacefully."
The sea breeze blew into the main room, bringing bursts of coolness. The eight-immortal table was already filled with delicious dishes. The shiny braised Spanish mackerel lay on the white porcelain plate, with tender yellow ginger shreds embedded in the cuts on the fish body. The sauce was so thick that it could hold the chopsticks. The blanched shrimps curled up into beautiful arcs, and the shrimp shells were bright red. Dipped in minced garlic and vinegar, they burst with sweetness between the teeth. The milky white oyster and tofu soup was topped with emerald green onions and was still steaming.
Shen Nanqing looked at the table of dishes and said helplessly: "Haizhu, you are almost spoiling our appetite."
Since Lin Haizhu moved into Shen Nanqing's house, she has never been idle, and all three meals a day have been taken care of by her.
Shen Nanqing asked her to rest, and she was willing to do so, saying that she was eating and living for free, and that she would feel at ease if she did something. Shen Nanqing had argued with her before, but she just followed her.
"Sister Haizhu, your cooking skills are amazing." Zhao Jun glanced at his brother who was eating alone and sighed, "Whoever marries Sister Haizhu in the future will have a great meal!"
Zhao Zhuo felt the rice in his mouth smell delicious when he heard it. He glared at her and said, "Why are you blocking your mouth while eating?"
In the past few days, Shen Nanqing often heard some things from Lin Haizhu.
The story of how Lin Haizhu and Zhao Zhuo met began with a rescue. A child fell into the water from a reef while playing. The wind was strong and the waves were fierce. When Zhao Zhuo saw it, he jumped into the water to save the child without hesitation. He was not good at swimming, but there were reefs everywhere. He accidentally hit a reef and his head was dizzy. He was about to die when Lin Haizhu rescued the two.
The story is cliché but really interesting. Zhao Zhuo learned about Lin Haizhu's experience from other people. Perhaps out of sympathy or gratitude, he paid more attention to her, and buying a wind chime from Lin Haizhu was also an excuse to get close to her.
The first time people moved, Zhao Zhuo was direct and passionate, confessing his love, but Lin Haizhu said: "You are not my type, you are bothering me."
Zhao Zhuo was a persistent person who forced the melon to be sweet, so he appeared in Lin Haizhu's sight again.
In the second half, Zhao Zhuo told Song Huaiwen after getting drunk. After listening, Shen Nanqing felt that there might be some misunderstanding between the two of them. She felt that Lin Haizhu treated Zhao Zhuo the same way.
After returning from the mission, Zhao Dongzhuo has been staying at their house for free meals. Lin Haizhu will notice that Zhao Dongzhuo likes her, but since he likes her and she appears at the table every day, it's a bit exaggerated to say that she cares about him.
This is a love affair, and outsiders are outsiders after all. It is up to the parties involved to resolve it themselves.
Ana Shen smiled and said, “I have good news to tell you today. Chang Hu has been arrested.”
"Really?" Zhao Jun asked.
Shen Nanqing nodded, "You can ask your brother if you want to know the truth. He has made great contributions in this matter."
