We entered Jiangbei at around 9 p.m., which was neither too late nor too early.
When I was still in the hospital, I was usually either on duty or out having fun at this time.
These days, it's impossible to go out and have fun; I can only rest in the Jiangbei residential area.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhihao's room was big enough that Jingjie and I had plenty of room.
Tonight was very quiet, nothing happened. After discussing it, Jing and I decided to leave completely after figuring out the conflict between Jiangbei and Biyuan. It would be even better if Zhang Zhihao could come with us.
However, it is estimated that Zhang Zhihao is unwilling to leave Jiangbei.
So we can only take it one step at a time.
...
The next morning at seven o'clock, I was awakened by a knock on the door.
When I got up and went outside, I saw that Sister Jing had already opened the door. There was a strange girl outside with a ponytail and a pair of big, beautiful eyes.
She stood at the door, looking at me and Sister Jing with surprise and doubt.
"Who are you? Where is Zhang Zhihao?" the girl asked.
I stood sleepily at the door of the room, not knowing who the girl was, but she should be someone Zhang Zhihao knew, so I didn't pay any attention to her. I scratched my messy hair and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Just then, I heard Sister Jing at the door say, "You're looking for Xiao Hao? He went out earlier. Why don't you come back later?"
"Oh." The girl nodded slightly, and was about to turn and leave when she suddenly felt something was wrong. She turned back and asked, "Wait a minute, who are you? Why are you here with Zhang Zhihao?"
Jingjie said, "We are his friends. My name is Lu Jing, and his name is Lu Xiaonan. Didn't Xiaohao mention it to you?"
The girl exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, so you guys used to be his team. Hao Hao told me about you guys."
While I was brushing my teeth, I heard the way the girl addressed Zhang Zhihao, and I looked up curiously.
Sister Jing smiled and asked, "Hao Hao?"
The girl blushed and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Mu Xiaoyu, and I am Zhang Zhihao's girlfriend."
"Girlfriend!" Sister Jing exclaimed in surprise.
puff!
I spat out the water in my mouth, genuinely surprised. Zhang Zhihao actually had a girlfriend. Why didn't he say so?
Looking at Sister Jing's expression, Mu Xiaoyu asked in surprise, "Haohao didn't tell you?"
Sister Jing shook her head and smiled, "No, he has never mentioned this to us."
"Oh, I see." Mu Xiaoyu looked a little disappointed.
Jingjie, being a married woman herself, knew exactly what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking. She smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. There must be a reason why that guy didn't tell us. After all, you're his girlfriend, and he definitely wants to protect you."
Mu Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, then didn't continue. "Since Haohao isn't here, I'll go now. I'll come back to find him tonight."
"Won't you come in and sit down?" Sister Jing asked.
Mu Xiaoyu shook her head, "No, I still have work to do."
Sister Jing didn't stop her and let her leave.
I came out of the bathroom, looked at Sister Jing who had closed the door, and asked, "Was that girl Zhang Zhihao's girlfriend?"
Jingjie stared wide-eyed in surprise and exclaimed, "Yes, I didn't expect that!"
I smiled wryly. "I really didn't expect that this kid would have a girlfriend. No wonder he wants to stay here, it's probably because of that."
Jingjie said, "But since he has a girlfriend, why didn't he tell us? We're not outsiders."
I frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Of course we're not outsiders to him, but to this girl named Mu Xiaoyu, we are outsiders. Zhang Zhihao probably doesn't want others to know; he probably wants to protect this girl."
Jingjie said, "No matter what he thinks, we can just ask him when he comes back."
"Um."
Sister Jing laughed and said, "However, it's actually good that this kid has a girlfriend. Li Qiming will definitely be very happy if he finds out."
I nodded slightly.
After breakfast, Jing and I went downstairs for a walk, and the whole of Jiangbei was still the same as before.
Many people, almost everyone, are working; no one is idle.
Around 10 a.m., we returned to Zhang Zhihao's room and found that Zhang Zhihao had not yet come back.
Meanwhile, Fei Lichao contacted us.
"Are you there? Speak up!" Fei Lichao's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
I picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Speak, what's up?"
Fei Lichao asked, "How's the situation on your end? Do you need my help?"
I said, "I'm fine here, so I don't need you to come over for now. I'll let you come if needed. I haven't seen Su Mu yet. I'll contact you again after I figure out the relationship between Biyuan and Jiangbei."
"Okay, please contact me if you have any questions."
"knew."
After he finished speaking, the walkie-talkie went silent.
...
Around 2 p.m., Zhang Zhihao returned.
As soon as he got back, he said to me, "Brother Lu, Su Mu wants to see you..."
I raised my hand to interrupt him, "You're finally back! Jing and I have been waiting for you for so long."
Zhang Zhihao looked at me and Sister Jing with suspicion.
Sister Jing said, "Xiao Hao, why have you never told us that you have a girlfriend?"
Zhang Zhihao was stunned, then scratched his head sheepishly and said, "You all knew?"
