Shen Nanyi.
In less than five minutes, the person was no longer alive.
Shen Nan was utterly despicable. He smirked and teased his wife, "Too weak." After saying that, he lowered his head and pinned her down... kissing her wantonly and doing whatever he wanted.
What is the most romantic thing about spring?
Zhou Zuizui didn't know. All she knew was that, regardless of whether Shen Nan was that scumbag or not... at certain times, she was willing to die in this person's arms.
After a passionate and intense lovemaking session, Zhou Zuizui lay limply against Shen Nan's chest, unwilling to move an inch.
Shen Nan lightly pecked the corner of her mouth, his voice still a little hoarse from the moment: "Tired?"
"Um."
The two hugged for a while before Shen Nan picked him up and carried him into the bathroom. After washing off the sticky feeling, they returned to bed.
After taking a shower, Zhou Zuizui, who was originally tired, suddenly felt a little more energetic and couldn't fall asleep.
She chatted with Shen Nan casually.
"Is your training almost over?"
"It'll be soon." He calculated the time and said, "There's one more day of regular training, then the weekend is rest. After that, it's the competition."
Their training this time was to select better and more outstanding talents. Of the fifty people trained, only half could remain in this second round, followed by the third round of field training.
Shen Nan thought for a moment and said, "We might not be able to contact you for about a month."
The final round of training is for training the new recruits and also serves as their practical training. The military conducts two or three practical training exercises every year; their capabilities cannot regress, they must maintain and continuously improve.
Zhou Zuizui was stunned for a moment, then buried her head in his neck and rubbed against him, a little reluctant: "So soon?"
"Hmm." Shen Nan patted her head and coaxed her, "It's a closed training camp, so I probably won't be able to contact you for a month."
He paused, then whispered an apology.
There was nothing we could do.
Shen Nan did feel ashamed about things he couldn't control. Being a soldier's family is much harder than being a regular person; they constantly face separation and all sorts of anxieties.
Zhou Zuizui sensed his apology and chuckled, saying, "It's okay." She raised an eyebrow at Chen Nan, smiled, and said, "It's good that you're back safe and sound."
She didn't ask for much; she just hoped that he could stay safe at all times, that nothing serious would happen, and that he could return safely to give her a healthy Shennan.
"good."
Shen Nan answered in a hoarse voice.
After a brief moment of tenderness, Zhou Zuizui gradually fell asleep.
The next day was Friday, and it was also Zhou Zuizui's first day back at work after the incident. She happened to run into Lin again at the newspaper office entrance.
The two exchanged a smile. Lin then looked at her, apologized earnestly, and asked, "Are you alright now?"
Zhou Zuizui said with a wry smile, "It's okay. I was less injured than you. If you're alright, I'm definitely alright too."
Actually, she didn't blame Lin You, after all, Lin You hadn't done anything wrong. Even if she was a bit stubborn, she hadn't made any major mistakes.
The one who made the mistake was wrong. They sought out the truth, and there was no mistake.
Journalism has always been a misunderstood profession. While journalists uncover the truth, many things that are not true are also exaggerated, leading to a lack of clarity in public perception of journalists. Every profession has good and bad people, those who adhere to professional ethics and those who do not.
If she hadn't entered this industry, Zhou Zuizui probably wouldn't have liked journalism either. She wouldn't say she hated it, but she certainly wouldn't have liked it. Because she often saw inaccurate reports online. But after actually entering the industry and learning more about it, she discovered that journalists themselves weren't wrong. They were simply doing their job: uncovering the truth, whether it was good or bad, acceptable or unacceptable to the public. A journalist's duty was to lay everything bare and report it.
Of course, there are some journalists whose professional ethics are not so high, but we cannot generalize and should not have too much prejudice against journalists.
Lin smiled faintly and curved her lips: "Go in."
"good."
To celebrate their return to work, their team organized a small gathering for a few people after get off work, involving eating and drinking.
Zhou Zuizui accepted everything calmly and chatted with everyone.
A colleague remarked, "When I first came here, I thought Zui Zui would be difficult to get along with."
“Yes, yes, me too.” Another girl looked at Zhou Zuizui and smiled shyly, saying, “It’s mainly because Zuizui is so beautiful, and she looks so aloof.”
Zhou Zuizui listened and said with a smile, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so aloof and caused misunderstandings."
Chen Shasha smiled and added, "When I first met Zui Zui with the editor-in-chief, I was quite surprised. She's really beautiful."
Zhou Zuizui's beauty is aggressive. It's the kind that's very direct, telling you... I'm beautiful, I'm gorgeous. When she smiles with her peach blossom eyes, you want to look at her all the time, never looking away.
Lin chuckled from the side, "Of course, you have to see who brought them."
Chen Shasha stared at Zhou Zuizui for a while, then lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and took a sip of her drink.
Another colleague on the side exchanged a glance with her and they both smiled at each other.
Another female colleague looked at Zhou Zuizui and suddenly said, "Zuizui, the person who took care of you when you were in the hospital was your friend, right? Doesn't she have a job?"
They were talking about Xia Wen.
Zhou Zuizui paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I resigned."
"By the way, Zui Zui, I heard from the editor-in-chief that you haven't worked for more than two years. Where have you been?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zuizui chuckled and said succinctly, "I opened a small shop and did some small business."
"Really? What kind of shop is it? Is it around here?"
"No, it's in a very remote fifth or sixth-tier city," she joked. "I don't make much money here, so I came back to work."
"I see..." someone sighed. "These days, everyone who does business is rich. We're really not suited for business; we can only work regular jobs."
Just then, a colleague suddenly exclaimed and looked towards Chen Shasha: "Shasha, is your bag a new Chanel spring design? It's so pretty!!"
Chen Shasha paused for a moment, then quickly said, "I think so, my family bought it for me."
"Over 30,000, I guess." Someone sighed. "These days, only rich people can afford these new luxury items."
"Sasa changes her bag almost every day."
...
The group was having a lively discussion, but Zhou Zuizui wisely refrained from joining in.
Until the topic returned to their own side.
"You should take better care of yourself, even if you're drunk. You always carry the same bag."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zuizui glanced at her Longxiang bag and didn't see anything wrong with it. She usually carried a lot of things, so the Longxiang was the most suitable, being lightweight yet spacious.
"Okay, I'll try." She laughed.
Lin glanced at her again: "Such a good temper?"
Zhou Zuizui chuckled and smiled, "It's not a big problem that young people like to compare themselves to others."
It has to be said that in places with many women, comparisons are inevitable; gossip and rivalry are ever-present.
The gathering was quite lively.
Afterwards, the group headed home. Lin had drunk some alcohol that evening and was currently quite drunk.
"Zui Zui. Let me take you home." A colleague asked, "Where do you live?"
Zhou Zuizui also drank two glasses, paused and said, "No need, I'll just take a taxi later. I live at..." She gave an address.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Shasha exclaimed, "Zui Zui, we're going in the same direction!"
"Yeah?"
Cheng Zheng, who was standing to one side, coughed and said, "I'll take you back. I'm on the same side as you two."
In the end, Zhou Zuizui had no choice but to get on the bus. She had refused last time, and she couldn't very well refuse again this time.
As soon as she got in the car, Chen Shasha and another colleague started chatting with her. There were two men and two women in the car, which was quite a balance.
"Zui Zui, do you usually take the subway to work?" Chen Shasha said, "I rarely see you driving."
Zhou Zuizui nodded and said succinctly, "The subway doesn't get congested."
Shen Nan actually offered to buy her a car to drive to work, but Zhou Zuizui refused. She wanted a really cool car, which wouldn't be suitable for the newspaper office. So she simply didn't want to buy it.
Chen Shasha exclaimed, then said with a touch of emotion, "The subway is always crowded. Haven't you ever thought about buying a car?"
Another male colleague in front of me laughed and said, "Girls can take the subway too, it depends on personal preference. Sasha, did you buy a car?"
Chen Shasha smiled sheepishly, "I bought it, but I'm not very familiar with it yet. I ordered a car beforehand, and I'll pick it up this weekend." She looked at Zhou Zuizui, "Zuizui, are you free this weekend? Can you come with me to pick up the car?"
Zhou Zuizui was silent for two seconds before refusing.
"I don't have time." She smiled and said, "I have plans for the weekend."
"Oh, really?"
"Hmm." Zhou Zuizui looked out the window; they were almost home. She stared out the window for a few moments, then looked down and sent a message to Chen Nan.
Zhou Zuizui: Are you home yet?
Shen Nan also had a dinner party with his team today. Zhou Zuizui was originally planning to go, but she also had her own dinner party, so she made plans for another time.
After the message was sent, there was no response for quite a while.
After the car stopped, Chen Shasha glanced at the residential area outside, paused for a moment, and asked, "Zui Zui, do you live here?"
Zhou Zuizui smiled faintly: "Yes." She waved her hand and said, "Goodbye, see you next week, Cheng Zheng, thank you."
Cheng Zheng looked up at her and nodded: "Of course."
After getting off the bus, Zhou Zuizui was about to walk forward when someone suddenly called out to her again.
"Zui Zui." She was taken aback and turned to look at Cheng Zheng, who was running down.
Cheng Zheng smiled gently and handed her something: "This is a gift. I've already given one to Lin You, but I forgot to give you one."
Zhou Zuizui was slightly taken aback. She stared at the bag in front of her for a moment before nodding and saying, "Thank you."
She guessed that everyone must have bought it together, otherwise Chen Shasha would have come down to talk to her by now.
Cheng Zheng glanced at her and said, "You're welcome."
On the opposite side, Shen Nan came down to pick up his wife after receiving her message. However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the community, he saw his wife chatting happily with another man. He raised an eyebrow, clicked his tongue in displeasure, and simply crossed his arms and leaned against the door of the security room to watch.
The security guard on one side, who was uncomfortable with the situation and had only met the woman a few times, also peeked out when he heard the voice and asked, "Brother, is that your wife?"
"uh-huh."
The security guard clicked his tongue twice, sized up Shen Nan, then glanced at Zhou Zuizui not far away, and patted Shen Nan on the shoulder to offer some words of comfort: "A man should be more magnanimous."
Shen Nan scoffed, looking at the two who kept talking, and became even more annoyed.
Are you generous?
The security guard paused for a moment, then quickly said, "It's alright."
Shen Nan hummed in agreement and raised an eyebrow: "I'm not magnanimous."
He's not stupid to be so tolerant of his wife laughing and joking with other men.
The security guard said, "...Well, how should I put it?" He glanced at the doorway again. "They didn't do anything, but the way that man looked at your wife was strange. Did you notice?"
Shen Nan was silent for a moment, then asked in return, "You noticed it all, how could I have noticed it?"
Security guard: "Oh."
As the two were talking, Zhou Zuizui finally came over carrying her things. And that eyesore of a car finally drove away.
Before Zhou Zuizui could get close, the security guard patted Chen Nan on the shoulder: "Go back and have a good talk, don't fight."
Shen Nan chuckled upon hearing this and quickly agreed, "...Okay."
As Zhou Zuizui approached, she overheard this: "What were you saying to the security guard?"
Shen Nan glanced at what she was holding, then reached out and took it: "Is it heavy?"
"It's alright." Zhou Zuizui buried her head in his back and rubbed against him, saying coquettishly, "It would be even better if you could help me carry it."
Shen Nan chuckled and took her hand as they walked into the residential area.
"You still haven't told me what you were saying to the security guard over there for so long."
Shen Nan glanced at her, reached out and pinched her cheek, and asked in a low voice, "What did you say to that man?"
Zhou Zuizui opened her mouth, looked at Shen Nan, and laughed: "No way, Captain Shen, are you jealous?"
Shen Nan snorted coldly and asked bluntly, "No way?"
He's just jealous.
It's not good if your wife is too beautiful, because she'll be the object of everyone's attention all the time.
Zhou Zuizui chuckled, her eyes crinkling with laughter, "Okay, okay, but he just gave me a gift from the team, saying it was to celebrate our safe return to work." She patted Chen Nan's shoulder, "Don't be jealous, I only like you."
Shen Nan: "..."
After hearing this, he could no longer pretend to be angry.
Being a man is tough.
