"Gu Tuan, how did you know?" the guard looked surprised.
Gu Zhiye, who was exhausted, had no mood to eat anymore. He closed his lunch box and walked as fast as he could towards the instructor who was in charge of the physical training with him. After explaining the next things to do, he walked briskly in the direction where Su Niannian left. The guards were stunned watching the whole process. It turned out that Captain Gu was not just talking when he doted on his wife.
He hadn't explained anything yet, but the other party seemed to understand everything.
…
Never underestimate a soldier's speed. Before even leaving the military area, Gu Zhiye had caught up with his wife.
“Nian Nian——!”
"Comrade Su Niannian!"
"Nianbao."
No matter how Gu Zhiye yelled from behind, Su Niannian just didn't want to pay attention to him. The man ran faster and blocked her way. His tall figure stood up, and sweat could be seen on his forehead while he was panting. His sharp Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he blurted out doubtful words: "Why are you angry?"
Su Niannian bit her lower lip lightly and frowned. After a while, she said viciously, "Who said I was angry? I don't care about your business at all!"
She pretended to push the other person away and leave.
It would be strange if Gu Zhiye couldn't tell from her urgent look that she was in a bad mood. This was the main road out of the military area, and the two of them were the focus just by standing there. Many eyes were looking at Gu Zhiye. Seeing that Su Niannian's eyes were red, if he hadn't been concerned about other people, Gu Zhiye would have wanted to pull her into his arms and coax her. With just two sentences and combined with the situation just now, he vaguely guessed something.
The man's iron hand clasped Su Niannian's wrist, and even though she was extremely reluctant, she was dragged to the corner by Gu Zhiye. His broad back loomed over her, and his voice was a little helpless.
"Did Xiao Ding tell you that I was going to the border?"
Xiao Ding is the guard's name.
The entire military region knew that he was in charge of leading the team this time, and everyone in his family knew about it, except Su Niannian, who was kept in the dark. The latter angrily accused, "Look, even outsiders know about it."
"..."
Gu Zhiye was stunned for a second and replied, "I don't want to make you worry, just think of me as going on a mission and I will be back soon."
"How can it be the same?! Even if I don't care about the military district, I can know from the daily newspaper that the border situation is tense. What's more, Jin Lou's problem happened on the battlefield. Zhiye, isn't it better to stay in the military district safely? Who wanted you to go to the battlefield? If it doesn't work, I will go home to find grandpa and ask him to help talk to me. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you are safe and healthy."
Accustomed to a stable life, Su Niannian only wants the people around her to live well. If something happens to Gu Zhiye, she can't imagine whether she can survive.
The Jin family alone is eyeing them covetously.
The hand holding his collar was getting tighter and tighter. Gu Zhiye could feel his wife's inner uneasiness. He hugged Su Niannian in his arms and whispered to comfort her.
"Nianbao, you already knew about Gu Shutong's visit to the capital. His biological mother is a member of the Black Feather Party in Gangcheng. It's unknown what he wants to stir up by coming to the capital this time. Jin Chuan and Xue Weidong have both moved into the research institute, forming a three-way confrontation. Political Commissar Jiang is far away in Ningcheng, and he has no power to do anything.
The Gao family is in great need of someone who can have a say in the military region. The higher-ups have long wanted to promote me, but I have not made any achievements. I must go to the battlefield this time. Even my eldest brother is struggling in his political career. You and I can no longer be immune to this..."
The moment he was classified as a member of the Gao family, even if Gu Zhiye didn't want to take sides, he had already been dragged into this muddy water.
Then all he can do is climb higher and farther, otherwise, when the huge waves come, they will be powerless to fight back.
Su Niannian saw how hard Gu Zhiye worked over the past six months, but she didn't expect that the man had already thought so far ahead. Yes, how could an ordinary person shake the big tree of the Jin family? As the grandson-in-law of the Gao family, Gu Zhiye must be extraordinary. He must be outstanding enough to be favored by that group of people.
There is never a free lunch for Gao Zhan.
How come she only understands now!
Su Niannian was blinded by the comfortable life during this period. At this moment, she couldn't help feeling anxious, with tears in her eyes because of the cruel reality.
Gu Zhiye wiped away her tears with his rough fingertips and changed the subject at the right time: "Aren't we going to the film studio today? How is it?"
"It's OK. He didn't deliberately make things difficult for me. He just asked Director Guo to take us to Long County to film a movie."
"Big brother has always had a strong sense of self-esteem. He wants to get up from where he fell..." Gu Zhiye paused and reminded, "Unfortunately, I am too busy these days and cannot go with you. If Gu Shutong dares to bully you there, you can go to Lianhua Village to find a man named Long Wu. He can deal with Gu Shutong. If there are other people who bully you, please contact me or contact grandpa."
The man had considered every aspect, and his tone was like he was giving instructions for his final resting place. Su Niannian was extremely upset. She punched him on the chest and angrily said, "You are the only one who can bully me! Go back!"
There were still tears hanging on her eyelashes and her smile was pitiful.
Gu Zhiye's heart was softened.
At the urging of his wife, he finally returned to the training ground in the back mountain, looking back every few steps.
…
It only takes ten minutes to get from the military area to the family compound.
Su Niannian has delicate skin, and the skin on her face is as white as porcelain. After crying for a while, the corners of her eyes turned red, as if she had applied rouge.
The anger did not subside even after returning home. He looked like someone had bullied him. Wang Guifen, who was washing clothes in the yard, looked over at once.
"My goodness, who bullied you?!"
During this time, Wang Guifen lived in the Su family to take care of them, while Grandpa Gao helped take care of the children and took daily walks. Su Niannian didn't know the reason at first, but now she vaguely understood a little. She asked with wet eyes: "Grandma, did you and Grandpa know that Gu Zhiye was going to the border a long time ago?"
"What?! Border..." Wang Guifen's eyes flickered twice. She subconsciously wiped her hands on her apron and said something else: "I haven't washed my clothes yet, I'll wash them..."
"Grandma, do you want to lie to me too?"
"What...what do you mean by lying? Baby, we are all doing this for your own good. I didn't know about it at first. I just heard your grandfather mention Xiao Gu's matter. I didn't intend to hide it from you."
"It's a good thing for a man to have the ambition to achieve great things. If the country needs your grandfather's old bones, I will definitely donate him to the battlefield as soon as possible. Xiao Gu has always been a sensible and good child. He wants you to live a good life, which is better than Deputy Colonel Zhang next door, who is trapped in chaos all day long..." Wang Guihua pursed her lips.
As soon as the time came, the noise from next door started on time.
