As their bodies pressed close together, Gu Chen stiffened, as if an electric current was coursing through his limbs. His eyes flickered slightly, and a blush instantly spread from his neck to his face, finally reaching his ears.
"Comrade Lin Yuxi."
"Would you mind if I transferred from the military? The military might not offer me any job opportunities, and you'd have more options when it comes to marriage. You're excellent and beautiful. If you don't object, I'll propose to you after my transfer application is approved."
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Chen looked at her and spoke slowly.
He was an adult male who knew how important reputation was to women. Although the repeated physical contact was unintentional, he couldn't pretend nothing had happened.
“I am 24 years old this year. My family relationship is not complicated. My parents passed away when I was young. I have two uncles and two aunts, and my cousin who has been away from home for many years. After I get married, I will hand over all my salary. You will be in charge of the family. I will cook if you don’t know how. If there is no affection, we can cultivate it slowly.”
Lin Yuxi stared at his face for a moment.
In fact, Gu Chen's height and appearance are quite outstanding. He is 1.85 meters tall, with excellent facial features, deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and well-defined facial contours. At the age of twenty-four, he is in his prime and full of vigor.
Moreover, he has a calm and steady personality, the kind of stability that is consistent inside and out. Even if the sky were to fall, he would seem to be able to patch up the hole.
Seeing his serious look, Lin Yuxi hastily replied, "We'll talk about it later."
"Then I'll take that as your agreement."
...
Qinghe Village.
The lights were on, and everyone was busy at work.
Just as it was time to cook dinner, Cao Wang was terrified to see Gu Chen and Lin Yuxi coming down from the mountain. How could his talented friend have gone to the deep mountains and forests?
Looking again at the three wolves dragging on Gu Chen's shoulder and on the ground, he almost lost his balance.
Needless to say, Lin Yuxi was carrying someone on her back as well.
Both of them were covered in blood.
"Xixi, what happened to you? Why is there blood all over your body?" Lin's mother felt as if the blood in her body had frozen. She hurriedly touched her daughter's face, but the bloodstains had dried and could not be wiped off with her fingertips.
"Quickly report to the police and find the village's barefoot doctor first," Cao Wang immediately made the arrangements.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu rushed over to help. The old woman was covered in blood, and her appearance was unrecognizable. Her body was covered with bite marks from wolves.
"Have a few people go and clean up the bloodstains on the road. You two sit down and bring them some water." Cao Wang called out a few names from the crowd and instructed them to clean up the bloodstains on the road. These three wolves had been bleeding all the way, and the blood had to be cleaned up quickly.
The men didn't dare to delay, but their expressions changed as they looked at Lin Yuxi and Gu Chen.
Two people killed three wolves and saved an old woman.
"Has the barefoot doctor arrived yet? Quickly, let them take a look!" Cao Wang shouted anxiously.
Lin Yuxi was also exhausted. Carrying the old lady down the mountain, she felt like she couldn't straighten her back. At first, it felt light, but as time went on, it got heavier and heavier. The bloodstains on her body had all dried and were stuck to her clothes, so you couldn't tell how deep they were.
