"Lin Gu, quickly tell them that Brother Wei doesn't rely on his family..."
Yu Zhen eagerly grabbed Lin Gu's hand, saying, "Brother Wei didn't rely on family connections."
"The innocent will remain innocent." Lin Gu rubbed Yu Zhen's hair and smiled, "Go home after you finish eating, don't wander around."
The training ground and the family compound are separated by a wall, but the two gates are in different directions, so you have to go around to get there.
"Since it's your first day here, I took the afternoon off to show you around."
Lin Gu picked up the plate and pulled Yu Zhen away.
Yu Wei's promotion was indeed unrelated to his family; it was all military merit he earned at the cost of his life. However, there's no point in dwelling on that.
Watching the two figures walk away, Zhou Siyu lowered her eyes. If her marriage partner were Chu Yunmu, could they also walk hand in hand in the sunlight like this?
Stepping out of the cafeteria, Zhou Siyu squinted to adjust to the glaring sunlight. After looking around, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten to ask which direction the family dormitory was in.
My mind was filled with a string of thoughts: "This is...that is...this side is...that side is..." and "It's so hot, so hot, I'm dying of heat..." bouncing back and forth.
Zhou Siyu stretched out his foot to feel the scorching hot pavement, looked up at the cloudless sky, pondered for a moment, and then turned around to find a shady corner.
Finding a way back is impossible unless it gets dark and the sun sets. But we haven't even arrived yet, how long will it take to get dark?
After sitting for a while, drowsiness came over Zhou Siyu, and she yawned and leaned against the wall to doze off.
Take a nap; you might wake up to find the sun already set.
Zhou Siyu didn't wait for the sun to set; instead, she heard a loud voice.
Rubbing his eyes, Zhou Siyu opened them and looked at the person in front of him with displeasure.
Knock! I opened my eyes and saw this stupid thing, it scared me to death!
Why are you still here?
Yu Wei was puzzled. He tidied up the room and stood upstairs watching the people walking back, but he couldn't see Zhou Siyu anywhere after watching for a long time.
Thinking he was getting used to the environment and that the people here were easy to get along with, I went to the meeting without worry. Who would have thought he would run off to this corner to sleep?
"The sun hasn't set yet." Zhou Siyu got up, stretched, and rubbed his neck. "It's sunny."
"If you're lost, just say so. I won't laugh at you."
Yu Wei blinked, his expression utterly sincere; he understood the importance of self-respect.
Zhou Siyu wanted to slap him to death. Who told you I was lost?
"It's so hot in the sun, the ground is burning hot."
Zhou Siyu pointed to the road and then to the sun, emphasizing again, "I'm not lost, I just find it too hot!"
It's impossible for me to get lost, and even if I did, I wouldn't admit it!
Yu Wei looked at the cloudless sky, squatted down, and startled Zhou Siyu.
What are you doing?
"Didn't you complain that the road was too hot for your feet? Get on, I'll carry you back."
"I'll go back by myself when it gets dark."
Zhou Siyu took a step back. The two of them were forced into this match and weren't familiar with each other.
“It’s four in the afternoon now, you’ll have to wait for more than four hours, almost five hours.” Yu Wei pointed to the sun: “It’s different here from the first district, the days are longer and the nights are shorter.”
Compared to sitting on the floor for four hours, lying at home seems much more comfortable.
After a fierce internal struggle, Zhou Siyu finally climbed onto Yu Wei's back.
We're friends, after all; we can't just embarrass them.
"Keep your head down, the sun is strong."
Yu Wei strode along carrying Zhou Siyu on his back. Surprisingly, Zhou Siyu, who looked so thin, was quite heavy to carry.
"Do you... treat everyone like this?"
Zhou Siyu hesitated for a long time, but couldn't resist her curiosity. She had heard that Yu Wei was known for his good temper and was very kind to those around him.
"Huh? What?"
"Carrying someone on your back".
“No, I’ve only carried wounded soldiers on my back.” Yu Wei shook his head and added, “But I’ve also carried my dad on my back.”
"oh."
Zhou Siyu nodded. So this guy wasn't doing this for the first time. No wonder he was so skilled at it.
Standing downstairs in the apartment building, Zhou Siyu squinted at the seven-story building. There was no elevator on the seventh floor.
It's not that he can't climb, it's just that he's used to being lazy. He's always lived on the first floor of the three-story villa and has never visited the outdoor swimming pool upstairs.
"Can I sleep on the floor on the first floor?"
He wasn't joking; he was seriously discussing it. The seventh floor—that's the seventh floor! It's terrifying for someone who doesn't want to climb stairs!
“It’s not impossible.” Yu Wei thought about it seriously for a few seconds and added, “But there are a lot of mosquitoes at night, and there might be snakes on the ground.”
"Upstairs, upstairs, upstairs."
Climbing stairs versus feeding mosquitoes—anyone with a sound mind would choose the latter.
Seeing the person struggling to climb the stairs, Yu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind him at a leisurely pace.
His father said that if Zhou Siyu ran away, he would make him an orphan living on the streets.
"Xiao Wei, remember what your father said: there is no stone that cannot be warmed, only people who do not try hard enough."
"Yu Wei, remember this: a wife needs to be pampered."
Lin Ling and Yu Zhen's words flashed through Yu Wei's mind. He silently clenched his fist. His father was right. If he treated Zhou Siyu well, she would always be his wife.
As for why she might not be his wife, the not-so-bright Yu Wei hadn't thought of that at all.
The clean and tidy one-bedroom apartment is decorated in a warm color scheme, with thriving potted plants and vibrant flowers on the dining table, coffee table, TV cabinet, and other areas.
The living room has a spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling window. On the balcony, there is a uniquely shaped flower stand. The plants in the antique-style but expensive flower pots on the stand are growing exceptionally lushly. At first glance, Zhou Siyu thought they were some rare plants, but upon closer inspection, he was speechless.
What the heck? Chives, scallions, garlic sprouts, tomatoes, eggplants, and watermelons—what a waste of such an expensive flowerpot! It's an absolute waste!
After looking around, Zhou Siyu was fairly satisfied with the place where she would be living for three years. Apart from having to climb stairs and the unsightly chives, scallions, and garlic sprouts on the balcony, everything seemed pretty good.
"There are inhibitors and commonly used medications in the cabinet. I have to go on a mission in the next few days and I'll be leaving tonight. If you're scared living alone, you can go downstairs to room 601 to find Yu Zhen."
"Yu Zhen?"
“My distant cousin,” Yu Wei explained. “He and Lin Gu just had their wedding a few days ago and applied to accompany him to the military base.”
"Okay, I'm going to take a nap."
Zhou Siyu stretched and realized that it was definitely more comfortable to sleep in bed with the air conditioning on.
This place is quiet and safe. If only Yu Wei could keep going on missions and never come back.
