Xu Zhixia didn't know where Zhou An got the ointment, but it was so effective.
The next day, the marks on her body disappeared.
She went to Aunt Cai's house and brought Haohao back.
Haohao held Xu Zhixia's hand obediently, with his eyes lowered, looking as if he had been wronged.
Xu Zhixia couldn't help but feel guilty. She coaxed him softly, "Haohao, what's wrong?"
Haohao raised his little face and said word by word: "Xia Xia doesn't want me anymore."
Xu Zhixia was stunned. She didn't expect Haohao to say that.
Haohao continued seriously, "I'm not Xia Xia's child. Xia Xia...will kick me out sooner or later."
Hearing this, Xu Zhixia became angry.
This is definitely not something a child can simply think of.
It must be the aunt with a lot of free talk, saying something to Haohao.
Xu Zhixia half-knelt down, looked Haohao in the eye, and promised solemnly: "No."
"To me, Haohao is my child."
"Even if I have new cubs in the future, Haohao is still unique."
No one can feel people's kindness better than children.
When Haohao heard Xu Zhixia say this, his eyes lit up.
Like the morning star at night, it makes people unable to take their eyes off it.
"Keep your word."
Xu Zhixia nodded and said with a smile: "Adults don't lie to children."
Haohao is a very well-behaved child and was comforted by Xu Zhixia with just a few words.
After returning home, Xu Zhixia began to pack the things she wanted to take away.
Although her family is well off, it is inland after all and there is not much seafood.
This is a good opportunity for me to take this trip back and bring it to her parents to try.
Just when Xu Zhixia was busy packing, there was a knock on the door.
She subconsciously got up and opened the door in front of her, and an unexpected person appeared in her sight.
"Teacher Qi, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Xu Zhixia asked cautiously, taking a step back to keep a safe distance.
Teacher Qi noticed her action and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
But it disappeared so quickly that Xu Zhixia didn't notice it.
He gave a faint smile and said, "I just wanted to come and apologize to Comrade Xu."
"After all, if it weren't for me last time, Zhuzi's wife wouldn't have come to cause trouble."
Xu Zhixia frowned and felt uneasy.
From the first time she met Teacher Qi, she felt that he had bad intentions.
Although it might be her illusion, she didn't want to get along with such a person.
She nodded politely and said, "This is what I should do."
"I haven't cleaned my house yet. I'm very busy right now. How about Teacher Qi come over next time?"
Normal people would leave tactfully when hearing such words.
But Teacher Qi didn't. He continued, "I'm quite interested in Su Yu, but there are some things I don't understand. I wonder if Comrade Xu could teach me?"
Xu Zhixia refused without hesitation: "Let's wait for next time. I'm really busy now."
Teacher Qi didn't expect her to be so stubborn and gritted his teeth.
A sinister expression appeared on his face, and he suddenly reached out his hand towards Xu Zhixia.
Fortunately, Xu Zhixia was alert, took a step back and slammed the door shut.
Teacher Qi was stunned and didn't react for a moment. His hand was clamped and he let out a painful howl.
Xu Zhixia increased the strength of his hands and thought to himself that something was wrong. There was definitely something wrong with this Teacher Qi.
Little did she know that her guess was correct. Teacher Qi came here this time just to force her to leave the island.
Teacher Qi was originally a spy sent by the Soviet Union. He had been lying in ambush for many years and should not have been exposed.
But because of Xu Zhixia, the two foreigners revealed many things that should not be revealed, making the people in the army aware of his existence.
Especially Zhou An, this time he got absolute evidence.
He knew immediately when someone was staring at him.
At this time, it would be extremely difficult to leave the island.
He could only come up with a bad idea and come to find Xu Zhixia.
Even if he couldn't escape, he could still take away someone who could speak Su language, which would be a great achievement for the organization.
But he never imagined that Xu Zhixia would be so vigilant.
She doesn't look like an ordinary military wife at all.
If Xu Zhixia knew what he was thinking, she would definitely sneer.
An ordinary military wife probably wouldn't know Su Yu, right?
Teacher Qi endured the severe pain and withdrew his hand.
Noticing a sound coming from not far away, he glared at the closed door viciously, as if he wanted to see Xu Zhixia inside through the door.
Staying here is definitely not a good choice.
He gritted his teeth and strode into the depths of the woods.
Xu Zhixia held Haohao in her arms, squatting at the door, her heart beating faster.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard the footsteps outside gradually disappearing.
If Teacher Qi succeeds, not sure what will happen.
Not long after, there was another knock on the door and Xu Zhixia's body froze.
Zhou An's voice came immediately: "Xia Xia, are you okay?"
Xu Zhixia reacted, stood up, opened the door, and subconsciously threw herself into Zhou An's arms.
Tears as big as beans flowed down her face, soon soaking Zhou An's clothes.
Anger flashed in Zhou An's eyes. His big, bony hands rested on her back, and he soothed her softly, "It's okay. I'm here."
A feeling of regret welled up in his heart. If he had been more vigilant, he would not have scared Xu Zhixia.
This kind of thing...will never happen again.
After a while, Xu Zhixia calmed down.
She raised her eyes, tears welling up in them.
"I'm fine, you go and do your work first." Her hoarse voice sounded, weak and pitiful, but full of determination.
As soon as Teacher Qi showed any abnormality, she had some guesses in her mind.
Zhou An must have come back because he was worried about her. Although she also wanted Zhou An to stay with her, she knew clearly that Zhou An had more important things to do.
Haohao nodded his head and said solemnly: "I will...I will protect Xia Xia."
Zhou An glanced at Xu Zhixia and then at Haohao.
Half squatting in front of Haohao, he said word by word: "Haohao, thank you for your help."
Seeing the serious expressions of the two, one big and one small, Xu Zhixia felt a warmth in her heart, and the tension dissipated a lot.
But when Zhou An left, she still closed the door tightly.
Fortunately, when Zhou An came back in the evening, he brought back good news: Teacher Qi had been caught.
According to the information currently available, the island is now very safe.
Upon hearing the news, Xu Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief visibly.
Seeing the suspicion left in her eyes, Zhou An felt a flash of heartache.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask my boss for leave tomorrow and take you home."
Xu Zhixia hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly, "How about we take Haohao with us?"
"I want to...adopt Haohao as our godson."
