Chapter 70: Unromantic
"It's minus seven or eight degrees Celsius tonight. You'll definitely be cold wearing only a woolen coat." He Tingjun glanced at her and said, "We can run back home. Running will get our blood circulating and we won't feel cold anymore."
The expression on Cui Xuezhi's face froze for a moment.
She stamped her foot and forced a smile. "Comrade He, I'm wearing small leather shoes today. The heels are biting on my feet. I don't feel any pain when I walk, but it hurts when I run."
He Tingjun looked like he had just noticed it, and said with some despair, "Forget it, let's just walk back."
Cui Xuezhi was not discouraged. She smiled and approached him, saying in a half-joking and half-serious tone, "Comrade He, why don't you carry me on your back? That way you don't have to worry about me walking too slowly and wasting time."
"No, no, no, that's inappropriate." He Tingjun wanted to stand three meters away from her immediately and said seriously, "Comrade Cui Xuezhi, please keep your distance from me and don't get too close. Otherwise, if the patrol team sees us, it will reflect badly on both you and me."
In an instant, Cui Xuezhi's eyes turned red with anger.
She just didn't understand. She had taken the initiative, so why was He Tingjun still acting like a fool and not understanding romance?
She couldn't believe that even though she had shown it so obviously, He Tingjun still couldn't tell that she liked him.
Is she really that bad? Can't she even attract a man?
Cui Xuezhi followed He Tingjun and walked slowly forward.
In order to look pretty for her blind date today, she didn't wear a cotton coat or shoes. She only wore a sweater and a woolen coat. Although her black rough-hewn pants were thick, she was still frozen by a gust of wind in an environment of minus seven or eight degrees Celsius.
What's more, she was only wearing a pair of black velvet low-heeled leather shoes.
As she walked, Cui Xuezhi became so frozen that she became stiff and could not walk properly. Her steps became unsteady and she seemed to be limping.
She couldn't help but regret that if she had known that He Tingjun's behavior was exactly the same as the rumors, she would not have forced her uncle to take her home.
Not only did he not get a good look, but he was also frozen to a miserable state.
It would be better to take my uncle's jeep back home. It would only take three or five minutes to get home, and I wouldn't have to suffer all this trouble.
Just as she was thinking, she saw some snowflakes falling in front of her eyes. Cui Xuezhi looked up and found that it was snowing again.
She stopped and stood there looking up at the sky. Then, a warm military coat fell down on her body.
Cui Xuezhi was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise instantly appeared on her face: "He Tingjun, you care about me?"
He Tingjun: "I'm just worried that you'll be too cold to walk back." I have to carry you on my back.
He had no feelings for Cui Xuezhi, but he still had the most basic gentlemanly manners.
Cui Xuezhi didn't believe it. She felt that He Tingjun just cared about her, but was too shy to say it out loud.
She lowered her head and buried it in the collar of her military coat, sniffing lightly, and only smelled a faint scent of tobacco.
He Tingjun doesn't smoke, and the smell of tobacco came from when he was with Qin Zheng just now.
Cui Xuezhi trotted over to He Tingjun's side and said softly, "Comrade He, thank you. I'll go to the army with my uncle tomorrow and return the clothes to you."
He Tingjun: "No need to go through so much trouble, just take off your clothes and give them to me when you get home."
Cui Xuezhi held the clothes lovingly, lowered her head and said nothing.
She didn't want to return the clothes to He Tingjun so soon, otherwise she would have no reason to see him again tomorrow.
He Tingjun saw what she meant and had to say, "The military coat belongs to Battalion Commander Yang. If you return it tomorrow, just send it directly to his house."
I don't want to meet her again.
Cui Xuezhi pursed her lips and tried to change the subject: "But I don't know where Captain Yang's home is. Why don't I let my uncle bring it to you?"
"Comrade Cui, please don't bother the division commander. His office isn't very close to our camp, and we'd have to trouble the guards to deliver it. I don't know how many people would have to handle it. It's really not appropriate."
He Tingjun still refused: "The division commander's home is not far from Battalion Commander Yang's home. If you don't know the way, you can ask the division commander's wife. She has a good relationship with Zeng Qi's sister-in-law."
He Tingjun had said so much, leaving Cui Xuezhi with no more excuses to make, so she had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay."
