—Apologize.
Shen Nan's apology was sincere, and it also tormented Zhou Zuizui to the point of near death.
Afterwards, her whole body was limp, and she didn't want to move a single finger, letting Shen Nan do whatever he wanted. She felt comfortable and enjoyed it, but she was also truly exhausted.
When Shen Nan came out of the bathroom, he felt a little chilly. He looked down, reached out and pulled her into his arms, gazing at her flushed cheeks and her still-wet eyelashes, indistinguishable whether from water or tears from when she had just reached her peak.
He lowered his head and kissed her gently.
"Tired?" The man's voice was slightly hoarse with satisfaction, which sounded particularly pleasant, and his tone of voice softened.
Zhou Zuizui nuzzled his neck and responded in a hoarse voice, "Mmm."
She'd just shouted so much... her voice was hoarse. Thinking about it, she silently worried about her small frame.
Shen Nan observed her expression and asked, both amused and exasperated, "What's with that expression?"
Zhou Zuizui reached out and poked his shoulder, asking, "Are all soldiers as physically fit as you?"
Shen Nan: "..."
He looked at Zhou Zuizui silently, lowered his head and bit her finger, then said seductively, "Others may not know, but I only know that you have poor stamina."
She usually puts on a lot of noise, but in reality, she's not that great. Of course... Zhou Zuizui is alright; at least she manages to stick to exercising every day, even if it's only for about twenty minutes.
Zhou Zuizui choked for a moment, quite speechless: "Oh, then go find someone with good stamina."
Shen Nan was both amused and exasperated. He lowered his head and gave her a big kiss, his eyes filled with laughter as he asked, "Little jealous pot?"
Zhou Zuizui snorted coldly, kicked him with the last bit of strength, her eyelids drooping, and mumbled, "So sleepy."
"Go to sleep." Shen Nan held the person in his arms and coaxed them softly, "I'll stay here with you."
"Mmm." She buried her face in his neck and nuzzled against him, then reached out to hug him and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
With Shen Nan beside her, Zhou Zuizui always fell asleep more easily than usual. She didn't know if it was because he provided a strong sense of security or something else, but it seemed to be slowly developing into a habit. She fell asleep within minutes of finishing her conversation.
Listening to the even breathing of the person in his arms, Shen Nan kissed her forehead before falling asleep as well.
The night grew deeper.
The following day, Shen Nan stayed at home with Zhou Zuizui for a day before returning to the team to prepare for formal training at a school on Monday.
It's not really a school, more like a training base. The people selected there are all troublemakers picked out from various places. They are very capable, but they have just been selected and lack certain concepts and the awareness of obeying orders. They still need to be properly trained and guided.
Shen Nan went for training because he was highly skilled.
The initial choice was Gao Zhuo, whose abilities were also quite good, almost on par with Shen Nan's. However, Shen Nan had more authority and credibility. Shen Nan himself had once been a troublemaker.
Back when he was selected from the military academy to join a certain unit, Shen Nan was obedient to orders, but he was also quite unruly and strong, which made him disliked by many. However, in the end, everyone respected him. Therefore, Shen Nan was even more effective at dealing with troublemakers who had only recently joined the unit.
Since there weren't any important missions recently, the training was completely handed over to Shen Nan.
Shen Nan returned to the team and that very evening obtained the other team members' information from the captain. He sat with his legs crossed in the office, listening to the captain's instructions while looking through the information.
“Pei Jun?” Shen Nan raised an eyebrow and looked down at the introduction: “Twenty-two years old, shooting…”
He looked at it slowly and chuckled, "This one looks a bit unruly."
The captain took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "This is acceptable. Keep reading."
Shen Nan lowered his head slightly, hummed in agreement, and turned the pages one by one. When he reached the last page, his hand stopped. His gaze was intense, fixed on the name and photo on the last page.
The captain, oblivious to the change in his demeanor, continued, "Why did you stop talking?"
Shen Nan looked up at the captain: "Is this why you called me back?"
He reached out and pointed to the name on the last page.
The captain paused for a moment, then looked over and stared at the name for a while before slowly nodding: "That's why I'm only giving you the information now. Although I think you've done a good job, I can't guarantee it 100%."
He tapped the table and said, "This isn't the same person. Remember that."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nan scoffed and lazily looked at the captain: "I can tell the difference."
The battalion commander glanced at him and nodded: "That's for the best!" He said, "Let me tell you about this last one. He's twenty years old. He joined the army at eighteen and was selected from the grassroots. This brat is the hardest to manage."
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of provocation: "Is that so?"
The captain couldn't stand his behavior, so he threw a notebook at him and scolded, "I'm serious with you! Be serious!"
"Yes!" Shen Nan smiled gently. "Please speak."
The captain gouged out his eye: "He's definitely capable, and he's stubborn too, the kind of person you couldn't sway even with ten oxen..." He sighed: "Are all talented people like this? So individualistic?"
Shen Nan didn't say anything, but he still carefully read and memorized all of the person's information.
After leaving the captain's office, Shen Nan returned to his dormitory and sent a message to Zhou Zuizui. Only then did he stand quietly in the corridor, enjoying the breeze, looking up at the boundless sky, and letting out a soft breath.
Gao Zhuo glanced at Chen Nan suspiciously, then exchanged a look with Xiao Tong. The two coughed and approached, asking, "Captain, are you looking at the stars?"
"The moon is beautiful tonight."
Shen Nan curled his lips, too lazy to pay attention to the two of them: "There are stars?"
The child looked up and saw that the night sky was quiet and dark, with no stars and not even a crescent moon.
…………
Gao Zhuo coughed, casually put his hand on Shen Nan's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Captain, when are you going to introduce us to your wife?"
“Yes,” Xiao Tong said. “Captain, if I had known that last time it was your sister-in-law, I definitely would have stared at her intently.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Nan glared at the two of them and clicked his tongue, "What are you two doing?"
Gao Zhuo shrugged: "I just want to see my sister-in-law."
Little boy: "Yes!"
Shen Nan glanced at the two of them, crossed his arms, and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
Gao Zhuo: "…………No." He glanced at Chen Nan: "What did the captain say to you?"
Shen Nan paused for a moment before looking up at the night sky again: "He didn't say anything, just told me to take it easy during training tomorrow and not to wear myself out in one day."
Gao Zhuo: "..."
This is what it means to show off.
He and Xiaotong exchanged a glance, then he reached out and patted Shen Nan on the shoulder: "Alright, let's go back to sleep. Captain, take it easy."
Shen Nan chuckled and scolded the two of them, "Don't bother me."
After the two left, Shen Nan took out his phone to send a message before returning to his dormitory to rest.
Nothing major happened on my first day at work.
Lin stopped using Zhou Zuizui to stalk Ling Qing and instead changed his target, starting to collect various kinds of information.
The two planned to act later that night.
The morning passed peacefully, but in the afternoon, the newspaper office suddenly became lively because Ling Qing's affair in the private room that day was exposed, and photos of her standing with a man were also taken.
Weibo was buzzing with all sorts of comments. Zhou Zuizui glanced at it and saw that the man in the photos wasn't Shen Nan, so she didn't pay any more attention to it. But she still scrolled through Weibo with Lin for a while, looking at the videos and photos.
Lin turned her head to look at her again: "Is he your husband?"
“No.” Zhou Zuizui raised her chin and said, “This person should be her brother.”
Yesterday, Shen Nan showed her Ling Shi's photo. As long as Ling Qing doesn't cause any more trouble, this matter is over for her and Shen Nan.
Lin stroked his chin thoughtfully, glanced at Zhou Zuizui, and hesitated before saying, "Is that so?"
Zhou Zuizui chuckled, reached out and patted Lin You's shoulder, saying, "Sister Lin You, just say what you want to say. I'll tell you as much as I know."
"Okay then." Lin winked at her and said, "Does Ling Qing have a thing for your husband?"
"I guess so, but I've never heard of confessing one's love."
Lin choked for a moment, then looked at her speechlessly: "What's her relationship with your husband and the others?"
"High school classmate." Zhou Zuizui said succinctly, "That's all I know. Don't ask me anything else, I won't tell you anyway."
Lin looked on knowingly and continued scrolling through Weibo, saying, "Tsk, some people on Weibo are saying that Ling Qing and this man are a perfect match, and that they saw tender affection in their eyes." She stared wide-eyed at the photos: "Did they see that with a microscope?"
Zhou Zuizui chuckled and smiled, "For fans, everything about their idol can be explained."
For fans, it's like this: as long as it's their favorite idol, all interpretations are reasonable. Whatever the idol does, as long as the fans want the idol to express a certain meaning, then the idol's behavior is interpreted as meaning.
The two were scrolling through Weibo when suddenly their colleague across from them exclaimed, "Holy crap, Ling Qing posted on Weibo!"
Zhou Zuizui raised an eyebrow, but before she could act, Lin had already started refreshing Weibo again. This refresh was significant; Zhou Zuizui immediately saw a familiar photo, and her mood instantly turned as if she'd stepped in dog poop.
Ling Qing's new Weibo post was a group photo from her high school days. Zhou Zuizui had just finished wearing that school uniform, so she could see it clearly. The photo included Lu Jiaxiu, Ling Qing, Shen Nan, and Ling Shi—four boys and one girl. But that wasn't the point. The point was that Ling Qing was standing between Ling Shi and Shen Nan. However, her face and body were leaning towards Shen Nan.
The accompanying text is also quite interesting: How come I didn't know when my brother became my boyfriend? [Question.jpg]
As soon as the Weibo post was published, fans left enthusiastic comments below.
—Ahhhhh, my brother is so handsome!! Qingqing was already so beautiful in high school!!
—The one on the left is her brother, but who's on the right? Why does it seem like Qingqing's eyes are always looking to the right?!
—Four boys and one girl, Qingqing, you must have been pampered growing up! You were so popular in high school, you must have been the school beauty!
—Oh my god, am I the only one who thinks everyone in this photo is so good-looking? And isn't that President Lu on the far left? So Ling Qing and President Lu know each other?
—Wow, am I the only one interested in the guy on the right? He has such good features and looks really handsome!
—I suddenly remembered an interview with Qingqing before, where she said that she had a senior she admired in high school. Could it be the boy on the right?
Wow, the case was solved so suddenly. Finally, I have to say Ling Qing's high school was really amazing; it produced only top students.
...
Lin quickly refreshed the page, while Zhou Zuizui watched intently from the side.
She gave a cold laugh and looked away.
Lin also fell silent for a while, and then said, "No, with this kind of green tea behavior, why does she have so many fans in the entertainment industry?"
My colleague across from me said, "She has a good persona. Actually, apart from her love of creating scandals, Ling Qing is pretty good. She's good-looking, has some acting skills, and is well-educated. Plus, she has the persona of a rich, beautiful, and successful woman, so it's normal for her to have a lot of fans."
Lin leaned in again and said, "This photo is so manipulative! Four guys and she's the only girl. What are people supposed to think? It's plausible that she's involved with President Lu, or the guy on the right, and then there's President Hu..." Lin clicked his tongue twice and stroked his chin, saying, "Killing three birds with one stone, awesome."
Her colleague across from her chuckled and looked at her: "Sister Lin, has the hatred deepened again?"
“Yes,” Lin said without any politeness, “I must expose her true colors.”
Zhou Zuizui remained silent throughout. After a while, Lin looked at her again and asked, "Are you sad?"
“Not at all.” Zhou Zuizui looked up at Lin You, smiled and said, “She poses no threat to me whatsoever.”
That's the truth. Ling Qing posed no threat to her, but she just felt uncomfortable and disgusted.
Lin patted her shoulder comfortingly, "I'll take you to stake out the place tonight."
"OK."
The two exchanged a smile. Zhou Zuizui returned to her seat to write her manuscript, and took a moment to send Shen Nan two emojis.
Zhou Zuizui: You're finished.jpg
Zhou Zuizui: I allow you to run 39 meters.jpg
Zhou Zuizui: Kneeling on the keyboard.jpg
The stakeout is after 11 PM, so Zhou Zuizui is free before 11 PM.
She ate out with Xia Wen and refused to drink alcohol.
"What do you want to tell me?"
Xia Wen glanced at her, took a sip of her drink, and said, "I've taken a long leave."
Zhou Zuizui was slightly taken aback, paused for a moment, and asked, "Going out for a walk?" She was silent for a while before saying, "It's fine, why does it look like this?"
Xia Wen glanced at her: "I had a fight with my parents."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zuizui understood: "Planning to run away from home?"
Xia Wen was both amused and exasperated, and kicked her: "What do you mean, running away from home?" She sighed softly, looked out the window at the people coming and going, and said with emotion: "When I was young, I was ignorant. Back then, my parents were against me getting married no matter what, but I insisted, and now look what happened."
She gave a bitter laugh and looked at Zhou Zuizui: "My dad said he's going to kill someone."
Zhou Zuizui was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Uncle's idea is good. If you ask me, we should kill him too!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "Scumbag!"
Xia Wen smiled and looked up at her: "I didn't ask you to come out today to kill my ex-husband."
"Oh." Zhou Zuizui looked at her with a smile: "What do you want to talk about? About your trip? Go ahead, go ahead, you're not short of money anyway. You can do your work when you come back from the long holiday."
She promised, "I'll try my best to submit the manuscript to you when you come back from your long vacation."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wen's eyes lit up, and she looked at her with surprise: "You've got an idea?"
"A little," Zhou Zuizui said calmly, "but it still depends on how things go during this period."
"By the way, how's work?" Xia Wen suddenly asked. "And I have a question for you: do you know Ling Qing?"
Zhou Zuizui was stunned for a moment, then recounted the story of Ling Qing and Shen Nan. Xia Wen exclaimed angrily, "Damn it! There are so many green tea bitches in this world! I'll help you kill her!"
"No," Zhou Zuizui said slowly, "I'll deal with it slowly. I have a way."
"Sure?"
"Of course." Zhou Zuizui glared at her, then smiled gently. "Do I look like someone who would let go of someone who actively provoked me?"
Xia Wen nodded honestly: "It doesn't seem like it."
“That’s right, if she wants to be a green tea bitch, I’ll let her be one to her heart’s content!” Zhou Zuizui said softly, but it was precisely this gentle voice that sent chills down one’s spine.
It's not that she has no options; she has plenty of them. She just looks down on the methods others are using now.
After the dinner party ended, Zhou Zuizui glanced at the call from Chen Nan, raised her eyebrows, and replied, "Hello."
Shen Nan's deep voice sounded in my ear: "Wife, aren't you home yet?"
Zhou Zuizui was slightly taken aback, then frowned: "You're home?"
"Yes." Shen Nan said succinctly, "I've been resting at home for the past two weeks."
Zhou Zuizui: "...Oh, then you can sleep in the guest room tonight."
Shen Nan: "???"
He stared blankly at his phone, then paused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Zuizui chuckled and quickly said, "Nothing much, I'm going to film some gossip tonight, so I probably won't be home to sleep."
Shen Nan: "…………"
So why did he go to such lengths to finish training early and go home as soon as possible?
Zhou Zuizui sensed the silence on her end and chuckled, saying, "If something really happened, don't reporters usually work at night? You should get some rest. I'll hang up now."
After saying that, Zhou Zuizui hung up the phone without hesitation.
Around 11 PM, Zhou Zuizui and Lin You were staking out the hotel entrance, once again following a female celebrity. Although Zhou Zuizui didn't know why Lin You was so persistent in following female celebrities, she figured it was the right thing to do.
The temperature was quite comfortable that night. The two of them snuggled in the car, lost in thought, when Lin patted her shoulder and said, "Hey, you're here."
Zhou Zuizui turned her head to look, holding the camera, and then understood Lin You's thoughts.
She was following a female celebrity, but the male celebrity who appeared not far away... was the same kind who had acted with Ling Qing last time. Thinking about it, Zhou Zuizui felt a wave of nausea.
The two were photographed entering a hotel, and then checking into the hotel across the street. Lin had already taken care of everything beforehand. It has to be said that the people across the street were really impatient, starting their actions before even drawing the curtains.
At 2 a.m., the two finished work.
Lin was extremely satisfied with what he had in his hands. He looked at Zhou Zuizui and said, "Let's go back to sleep. I'm so sleepy."
Zhou Zuizui was both amused and exasperated, but nodded in agreement.
Lin took her home before going back himself.
Zhou Zuizui stood there for a long time before shaking her head and going home.
I just don't understand. Are all men like this, always wanting more than what they have?
When she arrived home, the house was quiet, but a light was still on in the living room for her. Zhou Zuizui was taken aback, smiled, and changed her shoes before going inside.
She went into the master bedroom, but no one was there. Zhou Zuizui silently curved her lips into a smile. After taking a shower, she went to the guest room in her pajamas. The guest room door was unlocked, and a large man was lying on the bed.
It must be said that Shen Nan is quite obedient to his wife in some matters.
Zhou Zuizui stared at it for a couple of seconds, then walked straight over. Before she could do anything, Shen Nan reached out and pulled her onto the bed.
Why are you so late?
Zhou Zuizui hummed in agreement, snuggled up to him, and had no doubt that he would wake up. She guessed that Shen Nan probably woke up just as she reached the door.
She lay on top of Shen Nan, looking down at him: "Why weren't you saying anything just now?"
"I was afraid you'd be angry." Shen Nan looked at her in the light, kissed the corner of her mouth, and pulled her into the blanket: "Are you tired?"
"It's okay, actually I'm a little excited."
Shen Nan chuckled, lowered his head to kiss the corner of her lips, and said, "I had Lu Jiaxiu have someone delete the photos."
Zhou Zuizui was taken aback, then belatedly realized what kind of photo he was referring to.
Ling Qing didn't actually look at that photo later. Whether she deleted it or not is unknown, but it's estimated that Shen Nan asked Lu Jiaxiu about it, or found out from somewhere else, so he had it deleted.
It has to be said that whether or not it's deleted won't affect her much. But the fact that Shen Nan took the initiative to ask someone to delete it, so as not to leave any lingering resentment, is a very good thing, and she would be very happy about it.
She chuckled, bit Shen Nan's lip, and said with exasperation, "You're good enough to listen to me."
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow, looking at the woman sitting on his waist. In the darkness, she was like a little enchantress, constantly seducing him.
Shen Nan stiffened, his Adam's apple bobbing as he let Zhou Zuizui kiss him haphazardly.
She was like a little leopard, a little angry, a little annoyed, but also a little happy. She lowered her head and kissed Shen Nan, not really kissing, just nibbling randomly... leaving marks on his body. While kissing, she muttered, "You have to remember this."
"Um?"
Zhou Zuizui lay on top of him, kissing her way down his body, finally returning to his Adam's apple, where she bit down hard: "You're mine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nan rolled over with a little force, pinning the other person beneath him, and kissed him without being able to resist.
