Qin Hanshu's gaze moved upwards and met Zhou Weiguang's eyes.
She nodded and gave a soft "hmm".
A tremendous sense of surprise and excitement instantly swept over Zhou Weiguang.
He paced back and forth awkwardly for a moment, then looked at Qin Hanshu for confirmation, "Is this your true thought? You're not lying to me, are you?"
Qin Hanshu glared at him, "Are you trying to swindle me out of my money or my body?"
Zhou Weiguang was so overwhelmed by that glare that his body went limp and he almost lost his footing. For the first time, he experienced firsthand what it meant to feel elated.
He chuckled foolishly twice, "Scamming for money or sex, it's all fine."
Qin Hanshu chuckled and said, "Do you even have that 'lust' thing?"
Zhou Weiguang puffed out his chest and said confidently, "My army commander once praised me, saying that I was tall and brave!"
In Zhou Weiguang's view, "tall and brave" was simply a compliment to his good looks!
Qin Hanshu looked Zhou Weiguang up and down. "Hmm, not bad, fairly decent."
After being praised by Qin Hanshu, Zhou Weiguang felt embarrassed and touched his nose.
I checked the time; it was almost midnight.
Qin Hanshu said, "We need to head to the entrance. Sister Fan said we should meet at the entrance at 12 o'clock to have lunch together."
Sister Fan and the others brought food, just like a picnic, so Qin Hanshu could eat with them.
Zhou Weiguang said, "Let's go to a restaurant ourselves."
Qin Hanshu thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's all agreed upon. Besides, it wouldn't be good for us to leave Sister Fan behind and go out to eat quietly on our own."
Zhou Weiguang quickly nodded again, "Then I'll listen to you."
The two walked side by side toward the zoo entrance.
Zhou Weiguang asked again, as if to confirm, "So, we're already... dating now?"
Qin Hanshu hesitated for a moment, then said, "There's something I forgot to tell you."
Zhou Weiguang stopped abruptly and asked nervously, "What is it?"
Qin Hanshu slowly said, "My upbringing is similar to that of my sister-in-law. My biological father was a capitalist, and my mother's stepfather was executed for reselling supplies."
Qin Hanshu looked at Zhou Weiguang.
“Since my sister-in-law has affected my brother’s future, then I should also affect you… It’s my fault, I should have told you sooner, but it’s not too late now, nothing has happened yet, we can still be like brother and sister in the future.”
Zhou Weiguang's face immediately darkened because of Qin Hanshu's last words.
Qin Hanshu misunderstood, and although she felt regret, she wasn't too heartbroken.
Although she had the idea of starting a family with Zhou Weiguang, what supported this idea was not the intense feeling of "I can't live without you".
Her attraction to Zhou Weiguang was primarily based on the harmonious atmosphere within the Zhou family, and secondarily on Zhou Weiguang's personal charm.
It's still early days, and this positive feeling has only just begun to develop. It's not too late to call a halt.
Just as Qin Hanshu was thinking about how to break up gracefully and how to act as if nothing had happened when they met again, Zhou Weiguang pulled her into the bushes nearby.
He looked around suspiciously, then found a secluded spot and stared intently at Qin Hanshu.
Qin Hanshu was completely confused. "What's wrong?"
Zhou Weiguang's breathing gradually became heavier, and his expression gradually showed a determination as if he were about to carry a bomb to blow up a bunker. Then he stretched out his arms and pulled Qin Hanshu into his embrace.
Qin Hanshu was stunned by the sudden hug and it took her a while to react before she struggled a bit.
Zhou Weiguang's arms tightened as he struggled.
Qin Hanshu felt uncomfortable because his whole body was stiff, as if he were being held by a rock, which was uncomfortable.
“Brother Zhou…”
Qin Hanshu wanted to tell Zhou Weiguang to let her go, but she heard Zhou Weiguang's hoarse voice coming from above her.
"Since you've already hugged, it means nothing happened."
Zhou Weiguang stepped back slightly, looked down at Qin Hanshu, and said seriously, "I don't like your nonchalant attitude, as if I'm the only one taking this seriously, and you think you can just let it go like that."
Qin Hanshu tried to explain, "That's not what I meant, I meant..."
Zhou Weiguang interrupted, saying, "I already know about your family background. Since we've come this far, it means I've already made plans for the future."
Qin Hanshu asked blankly, "What are your plans?"
“You’re different from your sister-in-law. She was mainly affected by those messy overseas connections, which you don’t have. As for your stepfather… he’s your stepfather, what does he have to do with you?”
Politics can be very subtle. When they want to influence you, they can find any baseless rumor to pin the blame on you.
If you don't want to be affected, there are naturally other ways to go.
Having served in the military for so many years, Zhou Weiguang, while not exactly a master of social skills, has at least developed his own basic methods.
A person who can lead troops is definitely not bad-minded.
Otherwise, no matter how many merits he has made, why would good opportunities fall into his lap? How could he have reached his current position at such a young age?
Zhou Weiguang looked into Qin Hanshu's eyes and said, "I can tell you with certainty that what you're worried about won't happen. Even if it does, you can simply transfer back to your hometown and live the same life."
Qin Hanshu was stunned by Zhou Weiguang's words and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhou Weiguang stared at her for a long time, then suddenly hugged her tighter, his tone becoming more roguish as he said, "No matter what, you can't start something and then abandon it."
Qin Hanshu chuckled and playfully punched Zhou Weiguang on the back.
Zhou Weiguang didn't mind, enjoying the soft little bundle in his arms.
The wind rustled through the leaves.
It was very quiet all around, so quiet that Zhou Weiguang's breathing gradually became more rapid.
Damn! Bringing it out has caused a problem!
