Feeling Cao Hua's hand trembling, Gu Chengfeng didn't continue to make things difficult for him and released his hand at the right time.
He immediately shook his hand in pain, grimacing and glaring at Gu Chengfeng.
That's some serious strength!
Seeing this, Chen Sisi became serious: "Gu Chengfeng, what are you doing?"
Gu Chengfeng withdrew his hand without showing any emotion, and smiled warmly: "It's nothing, I just think Mr. Cao should practice more, his body is even more delicate than a woman's."
Despite the excruciating pain in his hand, Cao Hua pretended to be nonchalant: "It's not as exaggerated as your Commander Gu makes it out to be, but his grip is really strong!"
Chen Sisi turned to look at the two of them, feeling awkward no matter how she looked at them.
Gu Chengfeng is acting strangely today. He speaks with veiled barbs and even uses his strength against people.
Cao Hua wasn't much better; he also became sarcastic and eccentric.
Did the two have some past conflict?
Chen Sisi was confused, so she briefly spoke a few words to Cao Hua, just about meeting with that Hong Kong businessman and asking him to contact and finalize the arrangements.
Cao Hua listened absentmindedly, and looking at the man in front of her with such a protective attitude, she felt as if a heavy cloud had been poured into her heart, making her feel suffocated.
"Okay, I understand. Leave it to me!"
Relieved, Shen Sisi waved goodbye to him, "Then Chengfeng and I will head back first..."
She naturally took Gu Chengfeng's arm, but found that the person next to her was ramrod straight, and the oppressive atmosphere surrounding him was impossible for her to ignore.
"What's wrong?" Shen Sisi looked up and saw his sharply defined jawline, which was covered with a layer of frost.
"Have you encountered danger before?" Gu Chengfeng asked in a deep voice.
Chen Sisi nodded and told Gu Chengfeng everything about the ferry.
"It was a close call. Luckily, Brother Hua was quick-witted and pulled me back, otherwise I would have fallen into the river."
Gu Chengfeng pursed his lips, not expecting that so many things had happened to Shen Sisi.
"From now on, when rescuing someone, you must ensure your own safety first, and then consider helping others, understand?" Gu Chengfeng said, his heart pounding, trying to calm his racing heart.
Chen Sisi nodded obediently, "I understand."
Sensing that Gu Chengfeng's body was still stiff and he seemed preoccupied, she asked, "So... you're unhappy because of this?"
Gu Chengfeng deliberately turned his head away, not wanting her to see the subtle expression on his face: "No, I'm not unhappy..."
That muttered, low voice carried a hint of resentment and frustration, yet he claimed he wasn't unhappy.
This was the first time Shen Sisi had seen Gu Chengfeng like this. Intrigued, she took his arm and craned her neck, saying, "Really? But why do I feel that your face looks so dark?"
They even treat Brother Hua with such hostility, as if he were a class enemy.
No, you're mistaken.
"Really? Okay, you can go back first. I have something to do to find Brother Hua..." Chen Sisi pretended to turn around, but as soon as she moved, she was firmly held in place by a strong force.
"Come back!!!" Gu Chengfeng was anxious and grabbed Shen Sisi's arm, but he was afraid of hurting her and dared not use force. His face turned red instantly because of his anxiety, and his nervous expression was clearly visible.
Chen Sisi smiled enigmatically, like a cunning little fox who had just pulled off a scheme: "Gu Chengfeng, you wouldn't happen to be jealous, would you?"
Gu Chengfeng stiffened his neck, never expecting that he would fall for the little girl's trick.
His blood was boiling, and hearing her call him "Brother Hua" over and over again made him feel incredibly stifled.
"You've only known him for a short time, yet you call him Brother Hua." Gu Chengfeng said angrily.
He was usually composed and rarely got angry, but at this moment his face was gloomy and his eyes were like ice.
Chen Sisi shuddered in fright; Gu Chengfeng seemed genuinely concerned…
“I haven’t known him for long, but I know he is a kind and righteous person.”
Gu Chengfeng puffed out his cheeks, his face growing increasingly dark: "We've known each other for so many years, and you've never called me 'brother,' but you call him that?"
Chen Sisi's vision was completely filled by his furious face, and she blinked repeatedly.
So that's what made Gu Chengfeng angry.
It's because she calls Cao Huahua "brother," but never "brother."
The more she thought about it, the funnier it became, and she couldn't help but chuckle out loud: "Gu Chengfeng, you still say you're not jealous."
"No! Why would I be jealous?"
Shen Sisi wrapped her arms around his, her beautiful eyes crinkling with laughter as she flirtatiously swayed in front of him: "Then... from now on, can I call you brother too? Brother Feng? Brother Chengfeng?"
Gu Chengfeng's face, which had been suppressing anger, immediately burned, and he awkwardly turned his head away: "Whatever."
Chen Sisi was like a flamboyant butterfly, hopping around him and occasionally brushing against his arm.
Every time he brushed against her, Gu Chengfeng would pause, his face turning red from the base of his ears all the way to the base of his neck.
"Brother Feng... Shouldn't you be at the military camp today? Why did you suddenly come here?" Shen Sisi's voice was so sweet it made his teeth ache.
"Could it be because of me?" Shen Sisi asked half-jokingly.
Gu Chengfeng turned his face stiffly to the side, his lips pressed into a straight line: "It was just a coincidence that a mission was assigned at the last minute."
"Oh!" A fleeting sense of disappointment washed over her.
"I thought you came here specifically for me. I ran into some trouble at the dock today, but thankfully, Brother Hua took care of it for me."
"Fortunately, we still managed to close the deal. It seems my medicated oil is quite popular. This time, we ordered more than eighty bottles."
Upon hearing "Brother Hua," Gu Chengfeng quickened his pace, kicking the pebbles on the ground fiercely.
