Before the sentry could give the order, Gu Chengfeng walked over like the wind.
As Chen Sisi raised her head, she happened to see Gu Chengfeng's radiant face.
There were many soldiers around him, all wearing military overcoats, but he stood out so much in the crowd.
He was exceptionally handsome, a wicked smile playing on his lips, as he walked against the flow of the crowd toward her...
"Sisi!"
He stepped forward, his gaze already fixed on her, unable to get enough of looking at her.
"Gu Chengfeng!" Shen Sisi broke into a bright smile.
At that moment, Niu Niu let go of her hand and sprinted into Gu Chengfeng's arms: "Daddy..."
Gu Chengfeng's eyes softened as he reached out and pulled her close, lifting her high above his head.
"Good girl, Niu Niu...did you miss Daddy?"
"I've thought about it!"
He was playing with the child, while Chen Sisi smiled faintly to the side. This scene stunned the sentry next to them.
Commander Gu, who usually glares at them and acts fiercely, has two other faces?
He looked as if he had seen something incredible; his mouth was agape.
After a moment of quiet reflection and a quick laugh, she took Niu Niu from her arms and said, "Stop fooling around, you're still hurt."
Raising your hand so dramatically is bad for the wound.
Gu Chengfeng casually twirled his elbow a few times: "It's almost healed, it's nothing."
"It's okay, it's okay. You keep saying it's okay, you're just being stubborn!"
She angrily shoved the lunchbox into Gu Chengfeng's hands: "I made you some soybean and pig's trotter soup, so you can nourish yourself properly."
Looking at the tightly wrapped lunchbox, Gu Chengfeng felt as if a flame had been ignited in his heart, instantly igniting a wave of heat that made his chest feel burning hot despite the cold weather.
"You came all this way just to bring me soup?"
Chen Sisi nodded: "Yes, like cures like, let's eat it while it's hot."
Gu Chengfeng was secretly delighted, and a clear smile appeared on his face.
"And what about you?"
She pondered for a moment, then gestured towards her home with her chin: "There's still some in the pot. Niu Niu and I will eat it when we get back."
Hearing that she hadn't eaten yet, he braved the cold wind to bring her food, his smile turned cold: "Go back now. You don't need to bring me food anymore. There's food in the barracks."
Shen Sisi's face instantly darkened.
Is this... because they think she's embarrassing?
Seeing her expression change rapidly, Gu Chengfeng knew things were going badly.
He's a rough, unrefined guy, not good with words, and he often says the wrong thing when he's in a hurry.
He quickly explained, "What I mean is, in this freezing weather, you should try not to go out and just stay at home. There's no need to make a special trip just for me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Sisi simply responded with an "oh," her expression clearly showing disappointment.
She excitedly braved the cold wind to bring him food, but... sigh!
That's enough!
She composed herself, feeling hurt, and said sullenly, "I know, go back now, remember to eat it while it's hot, I won't come again."
She forced a dry smile while holding Niu Niu, then turned and stormed off in a huff.
Gu Chengfeng saw this and quickly caught up with him.
As Sisi was walking back in a huff, she suddenly heard a voice beside her: "Sisi, wait!"
Gu Chengfeng ran up to her, took off his leather gloves, then took her hand and gently pinched her fingertips, stuffing them one by one into the glove.
His hands were very large, so his gloves were naturally very large as well. When they were put on Shen Sisi's hands, they looked like two black bear paws, extending quite a bit beyond their normal size.
Chen Sisi's frozen fingers were suddenly enveloped in warmth. His body heat seeped into her skin, and she suddenly felt less cold.
She looked at Gu Chengfeng in confusion. Didn't he think she was embarrassing?
How could they still catch up?
He even took off his own gloves and gave them to her to wear?
Gu Chengfeng lowered his head, gently pinched her fingers through the leather of his gloves, and then reluctantly let go.
“I’m glad you came, but I feel bad when I hear that you’re hungry and braving the cold wind.”
“Your health is very weak, and Niu Niu is still sick. It’s too much of a hassle for you to travel back and forth like this…”
His deep voice was sincere, and Shen Sisi finally understood that he hadn't been disgusted with her, but rather worried about them.
Chen Sisi frowned and looked earnestly at Gu Chengfeng in front of her: "You have done so much for me, and I have only done one very small thing for you. You don't need to feel bad about it."
Is this a very small matter?
Gu Chengfeng pressed his fingers against the lunchbox and remained silent for a long while.
"From a young age, my parents taught me that a small act of kindness should be repaid with a great one; if you are good to me, I will naturally be good to you in return..."
Gu Chengfeng's breathing became even heavier.
Is it just to repay a debt of gratitude? Isn't there anything else?
Shen Sisi had no idea what Gu Chengfeng was thinking. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she stretched out her big bear paw and gently patted his arm, laughing heartily: "Let's go, you take good care of your injury."
Gu Chengfeng struggled to lift his eyelids, secretly clenching his fist.
What good is repaying a debt of gratitude? One day, something else will surely develop between them...
As Chen Sisi walked away, a jeep drove past him in a cloud of dust, then braked suddenly and reversed, spraying him with dust.
Feng Yanzhou rolled down the car window and saw him standing at the gate in a daze, looking like an idiot. He snapped his fingers and said, "Big idiot."
Gu Chengfeng almost picked up the lunchbox and smashed it down.
He growled, "Get out!"
Feng Yanzhou wasn't annoyed. He slyly pulled out a document and waved it smugly: "You don't want Chen Sisi's materials anymore, fine..."
Upon hearing the name "Chen Sisi," Gu Chengfeng became incredibly excited and reached out to snatch the document, but Feng Yanzhou quickly withdrew it.
