It was evening.
The car returned to the military headquarters.
Jiang Linchuan selected a few soldiers to come down and help move the things.
Many military spouses also came to help.
"You two went to buy furniture? Are you planning to get married?"
"When are you getting married? Have you set a date? We'll prepare our wedding gift then."
"Oh my, it's been a long time since we've had such a joyous occasion here."
Jiang Linchuan didn't speak, but Xu Xinghe generously said, "Once the date is set, I'll definitely tell all the aunties and sisters."
"Alright, we're all looking forward to your wedding!"
The military spouses had other things to do, so they quickly dispersed after helping out.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Xu Xinghe quietly tiptoed and quickly kissed Jiang Linchuan on the cheek, her eyes full of smiles like a child who had stolen candy.
However, she moved too quickly and was a little unsteady when she landed, her body falling uncontrollably to the side.
Jiang Linchuan reacted quickly, grabbing her waist and pulling her firmly into his arms.
The familiar scent of jasmine instantly filled my nostrils.
He didn't know where the incense came from.
But he knew he would probably never forget that scent.
Xu Xinghe leaned into his arms and chuckled softly, "I knew you could catch me."
"You did this on purpose." Jiang Linchuan hadn't expected her to joke about her body and really wanted to teach her a lesson. But since they were still outside, he released her, glanced around to make sure no one was watching, and then scolded her in a low voice, "Don't do such dangerous things again!"
"Okay, let's go home and put the furniture away."
She hooked her hand around Jiang Linchuan's palm.
Jiang Linchuan immediately moved his hand away a little, but then inexplicably felt a void in his heart, so he quietly put it back in its original place.
Xu Xinghe successfully hooked his little finger and quickly walked towards the courtyard.
Behind a dead tree that has lost all its leaves.
Wang Zhizhi gripped the basket tightly in her hand.
The scene she just witnessed stung her heart and eyes, blurring her vision.
Even if she were to deceive herself, she could still see that Jiang Linchuan treated Xu Xinghe differently.
He would let Xu Xinghe get close to him, and he would worry about her falling. Even his eyes were filled with a passion he had never shown before.
She felt like a masochist, constantly thinking not to get close to Jiang Linchuan while simultaneously unable to resist paying attention to him.
Every day, as soon as she finished cleaning up the excrement in Hongxing Village, she would immediately go to the courtyard where Xu Xinghe lived and wait for an opportunity to spy on him.
She didn't know what she wanted to see, nor what she was hoping for.
"Xu Xinghe." A gentle male voice suddenly rang out, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
Li Xingzhou was wearing a white lab coat, without even an outer garment, and was slightly out of breath.
Xu Xinghe glanced in the direction of the hospital.
Hmm, it's perfect that he can see this. No wonder he was in such a hurry to come out; he probably saw something.
Li Xingzhou's gaze fell on Jiang Linchuan's profile before quickly returning to his own. "Xinghe, can we talk?"
Jiang Linchuan's face instantly darkened, and a chilling aura emanated from him, urging others to stay away.
Xu Xinghe immediately realized, "Oh no, he's angry."
She put her hands on her hips and retorted without any politeness, "Are you shameless? Can't you understand human language? I've already told you, don't come looking for me! If you're still a man, have some shame, and don't make a fool of yourself in front of others!"
Li Xingzhou lowered his eyes, his pale cheeks slightly flushed from the cold wind, but instead of looking healthy, he appeared even more sickly. "We had some misunderstandings before, and I want to clear them up."
He raised his eyes, his gaze sincere. "Let's find a place to talk. It won't take you too long. Besides, you still have something here with me, which I've been keeping for you. It's the thing you gave me on your fifteenth birthday in the backyard of the Xu family's old house."
Xu Xinghe thought carefully and finally remembered what it was.
At fifteen, she was still the pampered eldest daughter of the Xu family, and many people were invited to her birthday celebration. Li Xingzhou, her sweetheart at the time, naturally came as well.
She secretly drank a glass of red wine, which emboldened her, and then pulled Li Xingzhou to the backyard alone. She also gave Li Xingzhou a jade pendant that her father had given her, as a so-called token of their love.
After she sobered up, she forgot about it.
That jade pendant was carved by her father himself, but she didn't understand it before. Now she realizes its preciousness.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Linchuan's heart sank. He stepped forward, blocking her way, and looked coldly at Li Xingzhou. "She has nothing to say to you. Take out what you need."
The smile on Li Xingzhou's face faded slightly. "The item was given to me by Xinghe, so naturally I have to return it to Xinghe."
He looked at Xu Xinghe again, "If you agree to have a proper talk with me, I'll return the item to you. Or is it not important to you?"
It is certainly important.
That was a birthday gift made by her father, or a keepsake that Xu Xinghe wanted to take back.
She looked at Jiang Linchuan and said, "I'm going to talk to him. I'll be back soon."
She grasped his large hand. "Don't worry, I won't waver. I said I only like you, and that means it will only be you."
Jiang Linchuan didn't speak, but slowly withdrew his hand. "This is your business, do as you please."
Wang Zhizhi, who was behind the tree, stared intently at Li Xingzhou. He hadn't even put on an overcoat; he had only run out wearing a thin sweater and a white coat.
He's a doctor who usually pays great attention to health and his own body, and he would never do this.
This time, in order to find Xu Xinghe, he even disregarded his health, which he cared about the most. He was really frantic!
A chill ran up my spine and up to the top of my head.
Wang Zhizhi's heart suddenly clenched.
Recently, Li Xingzhou has been increasingly neglecting her. They used to be intimate at least once every three days, but now he hasn't touched her for a week. Last time, in the middle of the night, Li Xingzhou even called out Xu Xinghe's name while he was fast asleep.
Could it be that he has also fallen for Xu Xinghe?
Wang Zhizhi bit her lip hard, a faint taste of blood filling her mouth.
In her past life, she was disliked and abandoned by Jiang Linchuan.
After all this time and effort to curry favor with Li Xingzhou, is he going to take it all away from me?
Does that mean she has nothing left?
Wang Zhizhi's bloodshot eyes slowly moved to Xu Xinghe.
Why should she get so much without having to give anything in return?
Jiang Linchuan made an exception for her, and Li Xingzhou also disregarded his own health for her sake.
What's so great about her?
Jiang Linchuan's footsteps were heavy as he left.
Wang Zhizhi suddenly realized that she still had a chance to make Xu Xinghe hate her!
—Those letters! Those letters that Xu Xinghe wrote to Jiang Linchuan, full of insults and hurt!
Although she never touched Jiang Linchuan in her previous life, they lived together for more than ten years, so she knew some things.
For example, where are these letters kept!
If the letter is exposed, Jiang Linchuan's wounds will be reopened, and he will definitely hate Xu Xinghe.
And those who were deceived in the compound will also see Xu Xinghe's true colors!
As for Li Xingzhou, he is so self-respecting that he would not like a woman with a major blemish on her reputation.
Xu Xinghe was lucky last time the capitalists got their way, but I don't believe she can escape this time either!
