Shi Zixi's voice was a little hoarse, and her tone was full of grievance. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and threw herself into Luo Jiu's arms.
"Oh dear, what happened to my little darling? Who bullied you?"
Luo Jiu helped up the giant doll in her arms and comforted it.
Shi Zixi opened her big, round eyes, which were still glistening with tears.
He turned around, pointed at Lieutenant Lin standing to the side, and murmured, "It's him!"
Then she turned around and buried herself in Luo Jiu's arms.
Luo Jiu gently patted her back and saw that Deputy Lin's eyes were full of astonishment.
"Lieutenant, what's going on?"
Xu Shaojun looked up at Lin Fu, one hand resting on the sofa, tapping slowly and rhythmically.
"It's Miss Shi. She was pacing back and forth, looking around, leaning against the gate of the mansion. I didn't recognize her at first..."
Major General, you've changed. You never used to question me like this! Ever since that woman came into my life, you're no longer the Xu Shaojun I knew!
Upon hearing this, Shi Zixi was displeased and stood up, slowly approaching Lin Fu.
"You're saying I'm acting suspiciously? Does this mansion belong to your family? What's wrong with me checking it out?"
Shi Zixi was sharp-tongued and, despite being in the wrong, she had the upper hand in terms of momentum.
"Then when I ask you what you're doing here, you can't give a clear answer. What else could it be but sneaking around? It's a major general's residence, so why is it heavily guarded?"
Lieutenant Lin retorted, but he forgot that you shouldn't try to reason with a woman; women never argue logically.
"Lolo, look at him! If I had said I came to see you, who knows if he was trying to trick me. You told me, you can never be too careful!"
After listening, Luo Jiu roughly understood what had happened. Basically, the female lead wanted to come find her, but couldn't get in, got caught, and was too proud to admit it…
But why would you come looking for her so late at night?
"Alright! Tell me, what happened? Why did you come to me dressed like this?"
As soon as Luo Jiu returned to her room, she got straight to the point and asked.
She didn't overlook the fact that Shi Zixi was dressed like that. If you had dressed better, would you have been mistaken for a criminal?
From the first time I met her until now, I have never seen Shi Zixi dressed like this before; she is dressed like a typical rural woman.
"Ugh, don't even mention it!"
Shi Zixi lay down on Luo Jiu's bed without any hesitation, somewhat annoyed, and said:
"Lolo, I'm leaving."
"Huh?" Luo Jiu was a little surprised. Was she leaving already?
“Actually, I’ve never told you that I’m the daughter of Commander Shi, who just took office in Shanghai,” Shi Zixi murmured.
“I came to Shanghai two years ago, having just escaped from the airport. He wanted to send me to study in the United States, but I didn’t want to.”
“My mother had just passed away, and he couldn’t wait to send me abroad. He wanted me to follow his arrangements: study abroad, return to China, and have a political marriage.”
"I wasn't willing to let my life be planned out like this. So, I ran away."
Even though Luo Jiu already knew in advance that Shi Zixi was Commander Shi's daughter, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression now.
Shi Zixi ignored Luo Jiu and continued, "I saw him at the banquet that day."
"So?" Luo Jiu asked.
“He has been having people watching me for the past few days, and I finally managed to escape.”
After saying that, she straightened her clothes and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I may have to leave. Lolo."
Shi Zixi sat up, took Luo Jiu's hands in hers, and gazed at her with deep affection, saying, "Luo Luo, you're the one I worry about the most!"
