Chapter 84 Guess What
Before Li Xueyan could think of a reply, Zhou Heping said solicitously, "Old Lu, Teacher Jiang, and I are about to go out for dinner. You're Teacher Jiang's colleague, why don't you come along?"
Li's mother immediately gave Li Xueyan a push and whispered, "Quickly, say yes."
Before Li Xueyan could react, she had already agreed as her mother urged her: "Okay."
After she finished speaking, her eyes widened.
Like a frightened little rabbit.
Zhou Heping's desire grew even stronger, and he spoke in a much softer voice: "Auntie, don't worry, it's just a meal. I promise to return your daughter to you intact after we finish eating."
Aunt Li smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. You young people should have fun together. As long as Xueyan comes home on time, that's fine."
Zhou Heping smiled and said, "No, Teacher Li is your beloved daughter. I can't let her suffer any injustice."
The two hit it off immediately, chatting intimately; anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were mother and son.
Li Xueyan still had some presence, but Jiang Jiani and Lu Xiangyang had completely become invisible.
The couple looked at each other, feeling that they shouldn't go to eat.
However, they still went to eat together.
Jiang Jiani initially thought it was a restaurant, but it turned out to be a Lanzhou ramen restaurant.
Zhou Heping completely ignored Jiang Jiani and Lu Xiangyang, and eagerly introduced them to Li Xueyan:
"Their ramen is especially delicious; the taste and preparation method are completely different from what we make here."
"Their cumin beef and chicken stew is delicious; you should definitely try it later."
"Teacher Li, you're at school..."
Li Xueyan was so overwhelmed by his enthusiasm that she completely forgot about Jiang Jiani beside her and only focused on talking to him.
Jiang Jianni coldly watched Zhou Heping's peacock-like display of power, then leaned close to Lu Xiangyang's ear and whispered, "I bet Comrade Zhou Heping initially just wanted to have some ramen with us."
Now that I've seen a beautiful woman, ramen has taken a backseat and become just three dishes and a soup.
Everyone knows Lanzhou Ramen; their stir-fried dishes aren't cheap.
Three dishes and a soup would cost around thirty yuan.
Lu Xiangyang also wanted to laugh a little, and replied in a low voice, "I bet he won't take Xiao Li home after dinner."
Jiang Jiani nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, after dinner, Zhou Heping said that a new movie was being released and invited them to go see it together.
But when he looked at Jiang Jiani and Lu Xiangyang, he clearly had a "go away and cool off" expression on his face.
Jiang Jiani and Lu Xiangyang aren't stupid, and besides, Lu Xiangyang also needed to take his medication, so they separated.
Although Li Xueyan is 25 years old, she is actually quite naive because she comes from a good family and is the youngest child in her family.
At first, I was still thinking about Jiang Jiani, but after finishing the meal, I forgot about her and happily said goodbye to Jiang Jiani and the others.
Jiang Jianni sighed, "It looks like it won't be long before we're exchanging red envelopes."
Lu Xiangyang said, "Zhou has been picking and choosing for so many years, it's time for him to get married. If he doesn't get married soon, his mother will tie him up and force him to get married."
“He used to always compare himself to me.”
“When I joined the army, he joined the army too. When I went to military academy, he also worked himself to the bone to go to military academy. When I made a meritorious contribution on a mission, he cried and begged to go on a mission too.”
But military missions aren't something you can just decide to do whenever you want.
Especially the military during peacetime.
Anyway, Lu Xiangyang went on missions more often, but Zhou Heping went on missions about half as often as Lu Xiangyang.
Then, feeling disheartened, he resolved to surpass Lu Xiangyang on a different track.
He wants to retire from the military and join the police force, striving to surpass Lu Xiangyang in solving cases.
Somehow, we ended up at a local police station instead of the police station.
I heard that during his first year there, he was constantly fighting with the police for cases, which caused the police to complain a lot.
Besides these, he also wanted to get married earlier than Lu Xiangyang.
However, he started pursuing girls when he was twenty, and pursued no fewer than ten. In the end, all the girls he pursued became someone else's wives, either marrying his brother, his friend, or his comrade-in-arms.
Jiang Jianni burst into laughter: "No, how did he pursue those girls? How come he couldn't win them over every time?"
Lu Xiangyang smiled and gave her an example of his older brother and sister-in-law:
"Back then, the guy surnamed Zhou was only twenty. He always wanted to compete with me, but he overtrained and broke his own arm."
"I took a liking to the nurse who gave her the injection and IV when I went to the hospital."
Do you know how he pursued that nurse?
Jiang Jianni pressed further, "How did you pursue her?"
Recalling the past, Lu Xiangyang couldn't help but chuckle: "He actually wanted to arm wrestle with that girl."
"He said that since the girl was able to lift a patient, she must be quite strong, so he challenged her to an arm wrestling match, which scared the girl so much that she turned pale on the spot."
The nurse may have some strength, but it can't compare to the strength of a soldier who has trained in the military for many years.
As a result, the nurse didn't realize that this guy was trying to get close to her. She thought she had given him too strong an injection and he was trying to break her hand.
Zhou Heping's older brother happened to be there at the time, and he was so angry that he beat his younger brother up on the spot and made him apologize to the girl.
Moreover, the two brothers don't look alike.
Brother Zhou has a refined and scholarly appearance, which makes him instantly likable.
Zhou Heping not only has a slightly fierce appearance, but also, because of his good family background, although Lu Xiangyang has been overshadowing him since childhood, he is still quite outstanding, so he has been very arrogant since childhood.
Moreover, young people in their early twenties are at the peak of their rebellious, defiant, and overly immature phase.
Compared to the other two brothers, Zhou the elder brother seemed to be playing the hero who saved the damsel in distress. So, Zhou Heping originally wanted to pursue the nurse, but his clever move caused the nurse to develop feelings for him.
When she found out that Brother Zhou was unmarried and single, she began to actively pursue him.
Honestly, it's hard for men to resist the pursuit of a girl they like.
So when Zhou Heping finally cheered up and wanted to pursue her again, he discovered that she had become his brother's girlfriend, and soon after, his sister-in-law.
At this point, it would be useless for him to say anything more.
Frustrated, he could only vent to his arch-rival and friend, Lu Xiangyang.
Jiang Jianni couldn't stop laughing: "How can he be so funny?"
Lu Xiangyang suddenly became alert, but outwardly remained nonchalant: "He's not funny, he's brainless."
"Similar things happened a few more times afterward, all by chance, with other people around, and the girls didn't realize he was pursuing them, but instead fell for the people next to him."
Jiang Jianni felt sorry for Zhou Heping: "No, he's never succeeded, hasn't he ever thought about changing his approach to pursuing her?"
Lu Xiangyang sighed: "I did change it, how could I not? But when it comes to feelings, if the time isn't right, even if you change your approach, it won't help."
"You wouldn't believe it, he couldn't get a girlfriend on his own, so he asked someone to introduce him to someone, and guess what?"
