Chapter 10 Most of the savings
Zhou An frowned and said coldly, "Comrade, is your eye... cramped?"
Xu Zhixia now fully understands what it means to wink at a blind man.
Looking at Bai Niannian's weird expression, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and she felt more favorable towards Zhou An.
She fanned her nose in an exaggerated manner and said, "Zhou An, do you smell anything bad?"
"Why does it look like there's garbage?"
She looked at Gu Yan and Bai Niannian meaningfully, and the meaning of her words was self-evident.
Gu Yan clenched his fists and looked at Xu Zhixia unwillingly, as if waiting for her to explain.
Xu Zhixia found it extremely funny. Why wasn't he leaving? What was he waiting for?
Gu Yan couldn't really think that he still had feelings for him, right?
A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She took a step forward and was about to speak when Zhou An stood up first.
"I'm sorry, I've never heard Xia Xia mention you."
"Maybe... you are insignificant people."
He said it lightly, his tone calm but full of lethality.
"We have things to do tonight, why don't you two leave first?"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
He emphasized the word "you're welcome".
Coupled with his gloomy face, Gu Yan was actually scared and took two steps back.
He didn't dare say anything else and ran out in shame.
Bai Niannian was stunned, looked at the untouched noodles, hesitated, and chased after him in fear.
After the two left, Xu Zhixia felt that the air seemed to have become fresher.
She looked at Zhou An in a good mood, thought for a moment, and explained: "What they said just now..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou An asked, "Did anyone speak just now?"
Xu Zhixia blinked, understood what he meant, and the smile on her face became even wider.
I didn't expect Zhou An to be this kind of person, but... he's really to her liking.
The two looked at each other, the temperature of the air around them rose, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.
"Am I late?" A strange voice came, mixed with a hint of embarrassment.
Xu Zhixia came to his senses, quickly withdrew his gaze, and took two steps back to distance himself from Zhou An.
Sun Hao felt a creepy gaze falling on him, which made him shiver.
He rubbed the tip of his nose guiltily. Could it be that being late had made Zhou An so angry? His temper was really getting worse and worse.
He cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject: "This must be my sister-in-law, she's so beautiful."
Hearing this, Xu Zhixia felt uncomfortable, but did not deny it.
Noticing this, Zhou An's eyes warmed up and he looked at Sun Hao with more satisfaction.
Although Sun Hao was confused by this, he felt relieved and became more attentive to Xu Zhixia.
After ordering, the three of them sat down by the window.
Xu Zhixia spoke first: "I heard Zhou An tell you about your situation. I'll trouble you from now on."
Sun Hao showed a simple and honest smile and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? This is what I should do."
"I often heard Brother Zhou talk about his sister-in-law in the army, and now it's finally..."
Before he could finish the rest of his words, Zhou An coughed twice.
He seemed to have received a signal and suddenly shut his mouth.
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and he obviously didn't know why, but he didn't continue.
Xu Zhixia's curiosity was piqued, and she followed up by asking, "Did Zhou An mention me to you?"
"What did he say?"
Zhou An looked at Sun Hao with a fierce look, and his meaning was self-evident.
But on the other side, there was Xu Zhixia with a curious look on her face.
Sun Hao was heartbroken. Between Brother Zhou and his sister-in-law, he chose...
"Sister-in-law, Brother Zhou said that once he has accumulated enough military merit, he will come back to marry you."
He chose to tell the truth. Jokingly, looking at Brother Zhou's expression, you can tell that he is henpecked. If he doesn't listen to his sister-in-law, who will he listen to?
Xu Zhixia looked at Zhou An in surprise. Under such a naked gaze, Zhou An's ears turned red.
On the way to send Xu Zhixia back, Zhou An didn't say a word, as if he was autistic, which made Xu Zhixia feel amused.
When he was about to leave, I couldn't help but call him.
"You can't really have a crush on me, right?"
Meeting those big watery eyes, Zhou An responded as if possessed, and then his face turned even redder.
Xu Zhixia asked earnestly, "When does it start?"
Zhou An was silent for a moment, then answered honestly, "I don't know either."
Xu Zhixia paused and said softly, "What if I really marry Gu Yan?"
He said word by word: "Then I will wait for you to get a divorce."
Meeting his sincere gaze, Xu Zhixia knew he was serious.
Because of this, this feeling is even more precious.
Xu Zhixia felt a warmth in his heart, and suddenly an impulse arose.
She looked around and saw that there was no one around, then she kissed him on the lips lightly.
Unlike him, his lips were warm.
They separated as soon as they touched, as if nothing had happened. Only the touch on their lips proved that it was not Zhou An's illusion.
His eyes became deep and he stood there without moving.
Xu Zhixia smiled and said frankly: "Then I will give you a chance to like me."
After Zhou An left, Xu Zhixia returned to the room.
Touching her burning cheek, she cursed inwardly that the man was so seductive.
She is not an impulsive person, but when facing Zhou An, she always can't control her impulse.
But...this feeling is not bad.
The thought that she would marry Zhou An actually made her look forward to it even more.
Zhou An was very quick, and Xu Zhixia's military report came back within a few days.
During this period, he had helped the Xu family move to the military compound.
Looking at the house where he had lived since childhood, which was sealed, Xu Zhixia had the illusion that everything had changed.
But she soon ran out of time for sadness, for it was almost time for her to leave.
Zhou An's unit was on the coast, more than a thousand kilometers away from Beijing, and it would take two days and one night to get there by train.
He had bought a sleeper berth early, waiting to take Xu Zhixia away.
The night before, Xu's mother came to her room and stuffed a small bag into her hand without saying a word.
A hint of doubt flashed in Xu Zhixia's eyes. He opened the small package in his hand, and inside was a pile of big unity banknotes and countless tickets of various kinds.
Under the dim light, it looks full of temptation.
Xu Zhixia raised her eyes and looked at Xu's mother calmly: "Mom, I can't take this money."
Judging from this amount, this should be most of the Xu family’s savings.
Compared to her, Xu's father and mother need the money more.
Mother Xu seemed to have expected her to refuse, and patiently explained, "Xia Xia, keep it. This is a decision your father and I made together."
"You are going on a long journey soon, and we are worried."
"When you're out there, it's easier to get things done if you have money. If you don't take it, your parents will be worried."
When she spoke later, her voice trembled and her eyes were red.
