Chapter 199 Begging



It was beautiful just by looking at it. He stared at her fingers with dull eyes. She pressed down lightly and the switch turned off.

"Okay." She looked back at him.

The man, still in a trance, looked at her blankly, "What?"

"By the way, you don't have classes today?"

"Today is Saturday, there are no classes." Lu Duoduo looked at him strangely.

The corners of his mouth twitched. Today was actually Saturday. He touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I was so sleepy that I forgot."

"Why apologize? It's nothing." She said with a smile.

"No, no, no, this is a big problem. I actually forgot the time." He laughed, trying to use this to cover up his embarrassment.

"It's okay, it's understandable that you're injured." She nodded.

He was physically injured, not mentally. He always felt that her words were implying something about him, but he had no evidence.

"The tea is here." At this time, Zhou Minmin, who had already prepared the tea, took out the cup.

"Thank you." She smiled and thanked Zhou Minmin.

"What are you thanking me for? Just treat this place as your own home and feel at ease." Zhou Minmin said with a smile, then ran to the kitchen to cut the fruit they had brought over, and then stuck toothpicks on it. Whoever wanted to eat it could just use the toothpicks.

Zhou Ziwu sat in a corner of the sofa. He was a little silent and didn't know what to say.

Looking at the person opposite me, she seemed even more beautiful than when I saw her before.

She looked a little immature before, but now she looks like a complete woman.

"How have you been these years?" After a moment's silence, he finally found a topic.

"That's great. My family is healthy and I'm successful in my studies. How can that not be good?" You know, she went straight to graduate school after only three years of study. Her classmates are still studying, and they don't know if they will go to graduate school, but they will probably continue their studies. Her pace is already much faster than theirs.

"Is that so?" He nodded in understanding.

"Instructor Zhou looks a lot darker and thinner." Lu Duoduo looked at Zhou Ziwu.

Although Zhou Ziwu's skin was not very white before, it was of normal skin color and he looked exceptionally handsome. But now he looks much darker. He is still handsome, but not on the same level as before.

Her words prompted Zhou Ziwu to touch his own skin, and he found it was indeed very rough.

The corners of his mouth twitched. "The climate in the border areas is bad. Everyone's skin changes when they go there, and they also have altitude sickness." This was his disguised explanation for why he became like this.

To be honest, he himself had of course noticed this change, but he hadn't paid much attention to it before because there were so many people who had become uglier than him.

Not to mention those who left suddenly, even the permanent residents had few good skins, which looked very rough.

He didn't think it was a big deal because everyone did it, and he didn't feel anything after he came back, but...

He looked at Lu Duoduo. Her face was as tender as a piece of tofu, without any blemishes.

She is indeed a fairy, he thought to himself.

"So that's how it is. You guys who guard the country at the border have worked so hard these years. I admire you from the bottom of my heart." These days, being a soldier really means you're handing yourself over to the country, and there are basically frictions at borders and other places.

Soldiers are real soldiers, the kind who go up to kill the enemy. Every year, people die on the battlefield.

But everyone is proud to be a soldier and is willing to die on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, she bowed to Zhou Ziwu and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The girl bowed solemnly to him, and Zhou Ziwu hurried over to help her up. "I'm defending the motherland at the border, and I'm just doing the physical labor. You students, especially those in the physics department, are contributing to the country and are even greater. We're relying on you from now on."

"Well, let's contribute to our motherland together."

"Pfft, aren't you two a little too funny? You're still talking about this at home."

Zhou Ziwu turned around to look at Zhou Minmin, who was slumped on the sofa in a disarray. "What? Is it funny?"

Seeing that Zhou Ziwu seemed very angry, Zhou Minmin quickly said, "No, no, no, I'm the one who's funny."

They sat here for a while and then said goodbye because they had to go back to study. They were all working hard now.

Zhou Minmin herself is not a very hardworking person, but since everyone around her is working so hard, she also follows suit.

"Third brother, see you when you have time." Zhou Minmin waved to him.

"Yeah." Zhou Ziwu nodded and watched the two of them leave.

Especially a girl who was wearing a bujila, with her hair tied up and no makeup on.

I don't know why, but I feel particularly reluctant to leave her when I look at her.

After the two left, he returned to his lifeless appearance.

At this time, Grandma Zhou finally woke up. Seeing Zhou Ziwu in the yard, she said, "It's so hot outside, what are you doing standing at the door? Don't you know to go to a cooler place?"

"I haven't been out in the sun for a while. The doctor said that solar energy can kill bacteria."

"Oh." She could only nod.

When I came to the living room, I found a few more teacups.

"Who's here?"

"Minmin, and my sister-in-law's younger sister."

"Duoduo?" Grandma Zhou said.

"Yes." He nodded.

"I thought this girl didn't have time to see you, but she finally found time to come and see you." Grandma Zhou sighed.

After she finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to wash the cups. After a while, she came out and said, "Grandma is going to look at houses with your Grandma Wu."

"Look at a house? What house?" Now it was Zhou Ziwu's turn to be surprised.

"Of course, it's about where to live. Your grandfather is getting ready to retire, and he won't be able to stay in the compound anymore. We moved out of all the houses before we were sent down to the countryside, so we definitely need to find a better one now. But I, grandma, am not that interested in other people's houses. I'd rather buy a piece of land and build my own."

Grandma Zhou's family is already very wealthy. Recently, she has felt that the wind has changed. The country's development cannot be separated from talents. The authorities have loosened up a bit and want to continue to allow schools to open at a high level. The college entrance examination can be resumed, and business will also resume sooner.

In any case, it is more cost-effective to buy a piece of land and build a house than to buy someone else's house. Who knows what will happen to that house?

She wasn't very comfortable living there.

"Then I'll go with you."

"No need, we are not too old to walk, we can just go by ourselves."

"I have nothing to do, grandma, please let me go." He said with a pleading tone in his voice.
