Chapter 9 It’s a shame not to act
Xu Zhixia thought about it and told him about moving.
After listening to this, Zhou An seemed to be thinking about something, and then he said, "I do know a family that wants to rent out their house."
"That area is inhabited by military families, and ordinary people don't dare to disturb them."
Xu Zhixia's eyes lit up. This place was the best choice for their family.
She quickly said, "Could you please help contact them? It doesn't matter what else we do, we just want to move in as soon as possible."
Zhou An thought for a moment: "How about I take you to see it now?"
Xu Zhixia readily agreed, and Zhou An took her to the military compound not far away.
It's the kind of courtyard with a separate entrance and a separate house, and the space inside is not very big.
Although it is not bad, it is far inferior to the small villa.
However, Xu Zhixia was very satisfied. For Xu's father and mother, this unobtrusive and quiet place was the best choice.
She carefully checked every detail, wanting to prepare everything that was needed at home for Mr. and Mrs. Xu before leaving.
At this moment, Zhou An suddenly said: "My neighbor next door and I were comrades in the same team and have now retired."
"I'll tell him about your family's situation later and ask him to help take care of it."
"I'm inviting him to dinner tonight. Do you want to join me? I can introduce him to you."
When he said this, he was very cautious, as if he was afraid that Xu Zhixia would not agree.
My heart was pounding and my palms were sweating from nervousness.
Xu Zhixia didn't know what Zhou An was thinking, so she readily agreed: "Of course we should go together. I'll treat you then."
She didn't think that Zhou An wanted to introduce his friends to her, but simply regarded it as a way to thank him.
Zhou An breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, but seeing Xu Zhixia's frank look, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
He said, "How about I visit your home first, and then go to the state-owned restaurant together in the evening?"
Xu Zhixia agreed and went to the supply and marketing cooperative with Zhou An to buy some common gifts for visiting the family before going to the Xu family.
Xu's father and mother were both well prepared and were very pleased to see Zhou An.
After the engagement was finalized, Xu Zhixia went upstairs to change clothes and prepare for the dinner in the evening.
I changed several sets in a row, but none of them felt right.
After looking for a long time, she could only choose one at random and hurried downstairs.
"What do you think of my outfit? Is it a bit weird?" Xu Zhixia asked unnaturally.
After waiting for a long time without receiving an answer, she raised her head in confusion and met Zhou An's astonished eyes.
She burst out laughing, and all her tension disappeared instantly.
Xu Zhixia finally chose a light yellow long skirt with a milky white belt tied around the waist, which made her look gentle and lovely.
She stood straight and walked slowly down the stairs, like a noble lady.
Not as if, she is.
Zhou An glanced at her inconspicuously and felt his heart swelling, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
After walking out of the small villa, Xu Zhixia realized that Zhou An came here on a bicycle.
Considering the Zhou family's conditions, she was not surprised.
But she was in a dilemma because she was wearing a skirt today and it would not look good if she rode a bike.
Perhaps seeing what Xu Zhixia was thinking, Zhou An said, "You can sit sideways and hold my waist. I'll be more stable."
This is also a good idea, Xu Zhixia nodded in agreement.
Zhou An considerately placed a thick cushion on the back seat of the bicycle.
When she sat on it, she didn't feel any discomfort at all.
She originally wanted to just hold on to the back seat, but she found that this idea was impractical and she couldn't maintain her balance at all.
After hesitating for a moment, she put her hand on Zhou An's waist.
Through a thin layer of cloth, she could keenly feel the temperature of Zhou An's body.
It was scorching hot, as if her waist was burned.
Firm and soft, Zhou An should have abdominal muscles, right?
This thought suddenly popped up in her mind at an inopportune time.
Realizing what she was thinking, a blush spread across her face and she looked off into the distance uncomfortably.
Little did he know that Zhou An was also feeling tortured at this time.
Zhou An used up all his strength before he could focus on the road ahead.
But I couldn't ignore the touch on my waist.
His Adam's apple rolled, his eyes dark. He wanted to speed up, but he couldn't bear to.
Every minute and every second now is torture for him.
After finally arriving at the state-owned restaurant, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Zhixia hurriedly got out of the back seat, said "go in first", and hurried inside.
As soon as I entered the room, a familiar voice came: "Xu Zhixia?"
Xu Zhixia looked in the direction he was looking and cursed inwardly what bad luck he had.
She never thought that Gu Yan and Bai Niannian would be here.
The two of them sat by the window, each with a bowl of plain noodles, looking at her in surprise.
Xu Zhixia's mouth twitched, and she ignored him.
He looked around and walked to the window, looking at the menu written on the small board.
She didn't want to have anything to do with these two people anymore, but apparently someone didn't think so.
"Xu Zhixia, you actually chased me here."
Gu Yan stood up, walked slowly to Xu Zhixia, and looked down at her.
Ordinary and confident, he seemed certain that Xu Zhixia came for him. And judging by Bai Niannian's expression, he seemed to think so too.
Realizing this, Xu Zhixia felt disgusted.
She had an indescribable expression and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Just at this moment, Zhou An walked in.
He saw a strange man standing in front of Xu Zhixia, with a frown on his face and an oppressive aura.
Xu Zhixia's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked to his side, naturally holding his arm.
Smiling, she introduced, "Comrade Gu, you may have overthought. I'm here with my fiancé today."
"Fiancé?" Two voices sounded in unison.
Gu Yan and Bai Niannian were both stunned and almost thought they had heard it wrong.
In their opinion, Xu Zhixia only has Gu Yan in his eyes and heart.
Even though there was a quarrel yesterday, it was just a temper tantrum.
Who would have thought that a fiancé would actually appear now?
Zhou An's body stiffened, and he subconsciously straightened his back and looked at the two people in front of him.
He said coldly, "What's the matter with you?"
Bai Niannian looked at Zhou An in his military uniform, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
How could Xu Zhixia find such an outstanding man?
She walked over and whispered, "Comrade, please don't misunderstand me. We just want to explain to Sister Xia Xia."
"There's really nothing between me and Comrade Gu. Their relationship shouldn't be ruined because of me."
"Oh, sorry, shouldn't I say this in front of you?"
She suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes red, looking weak, and looked at Zhou An timidly.
If any other man were here, he would probably have his soul taken away.
Xu Zhixia sneered in her heart, but had to admit that Bai Niannian really had some skills, and it would be a pity if she didn't go into acting.
