Chapter 43 Which room should I enter?
Xu Zhixia had forgotten how long it had been since she had dressed up properly, and she actually felt unusually awkward.
After waiting for Haohao's answer for a long time, she looked up in confusion and saw Haohao with his mouth wide open.
She was suddenly at a loss for words: "What happened?"
"Xia Xia's outfit is really, really, really beautiful."
Haohao rarely spoke a long sentence, and his tone was full of sincerity.
A blush welled up on Xu Zhixia's face, spreading to her ears, but she felt happy in her heart.
She couldn't help but think about what kind of expression Zhou An would have if he saw her like this.
At around three o'clock, the door opened and Xu Zhixia, who was in the room, heard the sound keenly.
But she didn't go out. She took a deep breath and felt nervous involuntarily.
"Xia Xia, are you done packing?"
With a low voice, Zhou An strode in from outside.
When he saw Xu Zhixia, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
I stood there in a daze, forgetting even to breathe.
Xu Zhixia today was completely different from usual, making his heart beat faster and making him feel restless.
Noticing Zhou An's burning gaze, Xu Zhixia turned her head away awkwardly and tucked the loose hair beside her face behind her ears.
An ambiguous atmosphere spread in the air, and the temperature around him also rose.
At this moment, Haohao suddenly rushed out and asked expectantly, "Want to go out and play?"
The atmosphere was broken instantly, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt disappointed.
Zhou An cleared his throat and spoke first: "They all like the mooncakes you made, and they asked me to thank you."
In fact, to say that they liked each other is an understatement. It is no exaggeration to say that they almost came to a fight over the last mooncake.
But there is no need to say this kind of thing, so as not to scare Xu Zhixia again.
Xu Zhixia raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile.
"As long as they like it, I'm worried they won't be able to get used to it."
Thinking of the way those bastards were fighting over it, Zhou An grinned.
Can't get used to it? Impossible. It's almost not enough.
Not wanting to continue talking about other people, he changed the subject: "The party should be starting soon, let's go find a place first."
This aroused Xu Zhixia's curiosity, as she had never attended a military party before.
After happily agreeing, he walked towards the center of the island side by side with Zhou An.
It didn't take long before the two arrived at their destination.
It's not even night yet, but there are already quite a few people gathered here.
Xu Zhixia was a little surprised, but when she thought that this was one of the few entertainment activities on the island, she felt it was understandable.
Before they could find a seat, a familiar voice rang out: "Brother Zhou, sister-in-law!"
Xu Zhixia looked over and saw Jiang Hanzhi striding towards him.
He came up to the two of them and picked up Haohao directly.
With a bright smile, he said, "I'll take care of Haohao. You two can have fun tonight."
As he said this, he blinked meaningfully, as if hinting at something.
Isn’t this a date? Xu Zhixia’s face turned red.
Zhou An's earlobes were also a little red, but not very obvious.
He responded and nodded: "Be safe."
After a pause, he asked casually, "Are you going to take Haohao back home tonight?"
Jiang Hanzhi originally said no, but when he saw Zhou An's eyes, he suddenly understood.
"Yes, I haven't seen Haohao for a long time. I miss him."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Xu Zhixia's eyes. If Jiang Hanzhi had spoken more sincerely, she might have believed it.
Except when Jiang Hanzhi was on a mission, was there ever a day when he didn't come to see Haohao?
But she just complained in her heart and didn't point it out directly.
Because...actually, she was also looking forward to spending some time alone with Zhou An.
The soldiers under Zhou An had reserved a seat for him in advance. After Jiang Hanzhi took Haohao away, he took Xu Zhixia and sat over there.
The people around glanced at Xu Zhixia secretly, pretending to be serious.
It made her laugh so hard that she smiled brilliantly without hesitation.
The others felt embarrassed, but were no longer as restrained as before and talked to her openly.
Not long after, the party began.
One program after another appeared, and Xu Zhixia watched them with great interest.
Zhou An, on the other hand, focused all his attention on Xu Zhixia and couldn't take his eyes off her at all.
By the end of the party, both of them were still reluctant to leave.
But... leaving something unfinished is different.
Walking on the path back, Xu Zhixia was still thinking about the show: "The girl who sang about the motherland was amazing. She hit such a high note in no time."
"I feel like they sing better than anything on the radio. If they were singers, they would definitely have a lot of fans."
Zhou An knew singers, but he didn't know what fans were.
He frowned slightly and felt extremely helpless, as if he and Xu Zhixia had nothing in common.
Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Xu Zhixia subconsciously looked at him and noticed the lost look on his face.
Thinking back to what he had just said, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.
Those singers and fans only became popular ten years later, and I guess this term doesn't even exist now.
She quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I prepared a lot of delicious food at home, but it's a pity that Haohao can't eat it."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "I should have given Haohao a bite before going out."
"Or give him some before he leaves."
"Everything else is fine, but the crabs will go bad if we eat them tomorrow..."
Listening to Xu Zhixia talking about these little things, Zhou An's eyebrows softened.
He suddenly said, "It's okay, I can eat it all."
Xu Zhixia was at a loss for words. Was she afraid of something bad happening?
She glared at Zhou An coquettishly, looking indescribably charming.
In the dim moonlight, Zhou An felt dry mouth and tongue.
He suddenly felt an impulse and grabbed Xu Zhixia's hand.
Xu Zhixia was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and did not shake him off.
The two walked side by side, unconsciously slowing down their pace, just like a young couple who had just fallen in love.
No matter how much they wished the road were longer, it was time to reach its end.
After returning home, Xu Zhixia closed the door of the courtyard and turned around to see Zhou An standing in the yard.
She was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Why don't you come into the house?"
Zhou An's eyes were deep, and there was a light flashing in them that Xu Zhixia could not understand.
"Which room should I go into?"
He asked in a hoarse voice, cautiously and tentatively.
Xu Zhixia understood the hidden meaning in his words and her breathing stopped.
She turned her head away embarrassedly and spoke awkwardly: "This is your home, you can go into whichever place you want, why are you asking me?"
Zhou An's eyes lit up and burst into light.
