Nothing was said that night.
As dawn broke, Wang Zhizhi suppressed her restlessness and paced around the military compound.
Finally, they found the soldier who had stuffed meat into her mouth yesterday by the edge of the playground.
The other person was tall and strong, but his face, compared to Li Xingzhou's, looked like a dusty stone, and he was simply not pleasing to her eye.
Even now, Wang Zhizhi's pride has never diminished. She is a pampered young lady who grew up in Shanghai. How could she possibly look down on such a vulgar soldier?
But the heavy gold bracelet on her wrist reminded her that she couldn't back down.
She composed herself, deliberately adopting a timid demeanor, and stepped forward, saying softly, "Brother, thank you so much for yesterday."
The soldier blushed when she called him "big brother" and quickly waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
He did have feelings for Wang Zhizhi. When she first arrived, her stylish attire and confident, flamboyant demeanor made her stand out like a bright light in the drab military headquarters.
Even if she can't compare to Xu Xinghe, she's still a rare beauty.
Wang Zhizhi was amused by his reserved demeanor, and her long-lost sense of superiority resurfaced.
She looked up, her eyes slightly red at the corners, as if they held hooks. "Big brother, can I do you a favor? I left something in the warehouse, and it's so dark I'm scared to go there. Could you come with me?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Let's consider this a final farewell to this girl who is about to leave.
The two entered the dark warehouse, which contained some ordinary supplies, nothing of importance.
Wang Zhizhi deliberately lagged behind, then suddenly cried out in pain, as if she had twisted her ankle, and slumped into the soldier's arms.
"What are you doing?" The soldier panicked instantly, not knowing where to put his hands and feet, his whole body stiff as a board.
Wang Zhizhi groaned softly in his arms, her voice sweet and seductive, with a deliberate allure, "I twisted my leg, it hurts so much I can't stand, can you help me up?"
In the darkness, her breath brushed against his neck, amplifying the sensual intimacy.
The soldier responded hesitantly, reaching out to help, but his palm inadvertently touched something soft.
"Ouch!" Wang Zhizhi's voice suddenly rose, tinged with reproach, "Where are you touching!"
The soldier's face flushed red, and he stammered, "I...I didn't mean to..."
"Forget it, I'll pretend you didn't mean it." Wang Zhizhi leaned closer to his chest, her small hand tentatively sliding down. "Big brother, the meat yesterday was so delicious. They say you should repay a favor many times over. I... I'll repay you, okay?"
"No, no need..."
"Let me repay you." Her voice was as sweet as honey, so sweet it made your bones melt.
Half an hour later.
The soldier emerged from the warehouse, his face flushed.
Wang Zhizhi followed behind, feeling a little angry.
She used all her seductive skills, but the other person didn't take it at all and actually blocked her hand.
In the end, the two only hugged for a short while in the warehouse.
No, it's not called a hug.
She was the one who unilaterally hugged him in the past, and was then pushed away.
If she hadn't made an excuse that she had twisted her ankle and refused to go out, the other party probably would have run away long ago.
"You, you should go back now..." The soldier lowered his head, his voice trembling.
His feelings for Wang Zhizhi deepened, but he knew in his heart that his family would never agree to him marrying such a woman. The rumors circulating in the military alone would make the entire family lose face.
Wang Zhizhi refused to let him go, saying, "Do me one more favor."
"What kind of help?"
You'll know when you get there.
Seeing his hesitation, Wang Zhizhi added, her voice so low it was almost a whisper, "I like you too, would I ever hurt you?"
The soldier was captivated by her words and followed her back to the courtyard in a daze.
Li Xingzhou was sitting in the house waiting. When he saw the two men come in, a smile finally appeared on his face. "Actually, I wanted to ask this brother for a favor."
The soldier felt inexplicably uneasy looking at his smile; the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. He turned to leave, saying, "I suddenly remembered I have a mission. Let's talk about it another day!"
Li Xingzhou's smile vanished instantly, his eyes turning icy. "Brother, you think you can just walk away after bullying my cousin? There's no way you can get away with that so easily."
The soldier suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Wang Zhizhi with a look of astonishment.
Wang Zhizhi hurriedly lowered her head, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes.
Li Xingzhou pressed on, "Zhizhi, how did he bully you?"
“It’s just…” Wang Zhizhi stammered, unable to speak.
“You’ve done everything you were supposed to do, right?” Li Xingzhou answered for her, his tone resolute.
“Yes!” Wang Zhizhi replied through gritted teeth.
"No!" The soldier's face flushed with anxiety. "We didn't do anything at all. It was always her initiative..."
Li Xingzhou chuckled softly, his laughter full of sarcasm. "Whether it's true or not, it's not up to you to decide. Do you think anyone will believe you? If they really investigate, can you withstand the questioning?"
The soldier fell silent instantly. Even if he hadn't actually done anything, he had indeed spent half an hour with Wang Zhizhi in a secluded place...
This guilty conscience is the easiest handle to exploit.
Looking at his tense profile, Li Xingzhou slowly added, "Now, do you think you have any other choice?"
The soldier clenched his fists and then relaxed them, the veins on his neck throbbing.
After a long silence, he raised his head, his voice filled with suppressed anger, "Speak, what do you want me to do?"
Li Xingzhou smiled faintly, "It's very simple. After Commander Jiang leaves, go and deliver a meal to Xu Xinghe."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple."
"Okay, I promise you." The soldier gritted his teeth and agreed, then turned and walked out.
The moment I stepped out of the door, I could no longer suppress the anger in my chest.
He was just trying to be kind and help the girl he had once had thoughts about, how did he fall into such a despicable trap!
He grew increasingly angry, abruptly stopped, and turned to walk towards Jiang Linchuan's office.
This can't be kept secret!
He did nothing wrong, and he didn't do anything to Wang Zhizhi. His only mistake was believing her nonsense!
Rather than being used against Xu Xinghe by someone who has leverage over her, it's better to take the initiative and clarify everything, even if it means being punished, than to become an accomplice!
