Chapter 26 Bathroom
An Yu exclaimed.
“I didn’t harass Shen Zhiqing. I was just grateful that she saved me and gave her something.”
Huo Jinzhi and An Yu looked at each other, a hint of sarcasm in their deep gazes.
"What do you mean by gratitude? It's about expressing gratitude solemnly in public, not meeting in private and giving valuable gifts, regardless of whether the other person is willing to accept it or not, and not even caring about the harm it might cause to the woman if someone saw it and spread rumors about her. Is this what you call gratitude?"
An Yu was stunned for a moment.
He never thought about these questions, he just...
"sorry."
An Yu apologized, saying that he had not considered whether the issues raised by Huo Jinzhi would cause harm to Shen Zhiqing, and that he had been inconsiderate.
Huo Jinzhi had no expression on his face.
"You shouldn't apologize to me, you should apologize to Shen Zhiqing."
"I know. I'll wait for a few days off, apply, and go with the platoon leader to apologize."
"Um."
Huo Jinzhi turned around and prepared to return to the team when he suddenly heard a delicate voice coming from not far away.
"Brother Huo~"
Huo Jinzhi paused, then quickly turned around and helped An Yu walk.
An Yu didn't react and didn't even take the crutches. With a limp on one leg, he couldn't keep up with Huo Jinzhi's pace and could only hop around with all his might.
"What's wrong?"
"I'll go with you to file the report now, and then we'll go apologize together."
An Yu was a little surprised by Huo Jinzhi's attitude. Just as she was about to ask, she heard the voice again from behind.
"Brother Huo, wait for me!"
Then, an arm blocked their way.
Huo Jinzhi looked at Xie Lingyi who had caught up with him and felt a headache: "Comrade Xie, what's the matter?"
Xie Lingyi bit her lower lip and stared at Huo Jinzhi.
"My dad wants to set me up on a blind date."
"Then I wish Comrade Xie a happy marriage. I will definitely give you a red envelope to congratulate you when the time comes." Huo Jinzhi quickly continued.
Xie Lingyi seemed to have not expected Huo Jinzhi to be so fast and paused.
"Brother Huo, you understand my feelings."
"I don't understand what Comrade Xie is talking about. I have something else to do right now. If there's nothing else, I'll leave."
An Yu stood aside, looking at the two of them with eyes full of gossip.
Something happened!
There is definitely something going on!
Something is happening with the legendary devil battalion commander!
An Yu felt that he had mastered a shocking secret.
Huo Jinzhi took An Yu and walked around Xie Lingyi.
Xie Lingyi stood there staring at Huo Jinzhi's back. Lu You had been hiding in the distance and only came forward after Huo Jinzhi left.
"Lingyi, are you okay?"
"Why is he always unwilling to look at me? Even though I told him I wanted to go on a blind date, he still didn't want to look at me. After all these years, is it true that he doesn't have me in his heart?"
Lu You held Xie Lingyi's arm.
"I think Huo Jinzhi definitely has you in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it out loud because of his own feelings."
Xie Lingyi turned his head: "Really?"
Lu You nodded vigorously: "As long as you do as I say, Huo Jinzhi will definitely be with you."
Xie Lingyi held Lu You's hand tightly without answering, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he murmured.
"Together?"
The other side.
After Huo Jinzhi brought An Yu to the office, Platoon Leader Chen, who was processing documents inside, immediately stood up and saluted when he saw Huo Jinzhi.
"Captain Huo!"
Huo Jinzhi nodded and helped An Yu sit down.
"When you don't have training for a few days, take this kid with you to apologize and thank him."
Platoon Leader Chen nodded without asking any questions.
An Yu was confused again.
"Ah? Didn't we say we were going now?"
Huo Jinzhi rubbed his eyebrows.
"No, you can go later."
An Yu curled her lips and muttered, "Why did you say that now? You made me jump for so long."
Huo Jinzhi sat for a while and then left. As soon as he left, An Yu couldn't wait to get in front of Platoon Leader Chen and spoke in a profound tone.
"Sir, do you know what I just saw?"
"What?"
"I saw a woman coming to see Captain Huo!"
"Oh? Have you seen Comrade Xie?"
"You know that too?"
Platoon Leader Chen shrugged and took a sip of hot tea.
"Everyone in the regiment knows that the commander's daughter has fallen in love with Captain Huo and has been pursuing her for several years."
An Yu's eyes widened. He thought he had discovered a secret, but it turned out everyone knew it. "Comrade Xie is the regiment commander's daughter? That's not right. I remember the commander's last name was Lu?"
Platoon Leader Chen shook his head.
"We don't know about this either. When Commander Lu first came to the island to take up his post, his daughter's surname was Xie. We didn't ask, so maybe she took her mother's surname?"
An Yu also thought this might be the case, and the next second, he was slapped on the head.
"Tell me, why do you want me to go with you to apologize and thank you? What the hell did you do?"
An Yu smiled awkwardly and carefully explained what he had done.
"I wasn't..."
In the next few days, Chen Zhuyi and Ye Xumei, as victims and rescuers, were allowed to rest for three days.
During the three days, Chen Zhuyi first went to see the house that Huo Jinzhi mentioned.
As expected of a blue brick house, it is still intact after so many years. There is even a well and an osmanthus tree in the yard. Chen Zhuyi was a little surprised. The more he looked at the house, the more satisfied he became. After leaving the house, he went straight to the secretary to talk about renting the house. He signed a contract and rented the house for five yuan a year.
Then I went off the island and went to a scrap yard, where I found some elementary school materials.
At the dinner table the next day, Chen Zhuyi announced that he was going to live separately.
There was an egg cake in front of each person.
"Thank you all very much for your care these days. The secretary and I have already applied for a house and are ready to move out. I will not live here anymore."
Everyone had different expressions.
Chen Zhuyi didn't care what they thought. After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to pack his things. He could take his things there directly tomorrow.
Originally, Chen Zhuyi planned to move after she passed the teacher's exam, but she felt that the educated youth site was a bit noisy, and most importantly, she didn't want others to know that she was preparing for the teacher's exam.
Chen Zhuyi asked herself whether she was a selfish person. Commander Lu was willing to tell her about the teacher in advance, but she was unwilling to share it with anyone except Ye Xumei, nor did she want others to know in advance.
After a night's sleep, Chen Zhuyi got up early, took his things, and went to the house with Ye Xumei.
After opening the door with the key, Ye Xumei took a look around and exclaimed in admiration.
"Wow! Bedroom, living room, kitchen, and even a separate bathroom! So comfortable!"
The most troublesome thing about living with the educated youth was going to the toilet. There was only one, and it was used by both men and women, which was very inconvenient.
The two men picked up the brooms, looked at each other and prepared to start.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The door behind him slammed shut, accompanied by a sharp voice: "Who's in there! Open the door! This is our house!"
