Jiang Li frowned. Is this person seriously ill?

She already had a bad impression of Zhou Guoqing, and now she has no good impression of him at all.

She glanced at Zhou Guoqing and said, "Captain, you live by the river, why do you care so much? It's my right and freedom to get close to anyone. It seems that the captain has no right to control it, right?"

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, listen to me. Lu Chaoli was originally a soldier in the army. I heard that he made a serious mistake and was punished before he was discharged. Comrade Xiao Jiang should not get too close to such an undisciplined person!"

Zhou Guoqing looked anxious. After finishing his work, he did not rush back. Instead, he asked the villagers about Lu Chaoli. He did not know until he asked. He actually found out some things! Zhou Guoqing thought that this wave was stable. As long as he told Comrade Xiao Jiang about this, Comrade Xiao Jiang would stay away from such people who did not abide by the discipline and were punished by the army!

Zhou Guoqing thought happily, with a hint of pride on his face.

Just then Jiang Li spoke. She looked at Zhou Guoqing, who was feeling smug, as if he were a mentally retarded person.

"So? What does this have to do with me?"

Zhou Guoqing's face froze, and he quickly explained, "If you get too close to someone who doesn't follow the rules and has bad work styles, it will affect Comrade Xiao Jiang's reputation!"

Zhou Guoqing was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He spoke with great confidence, as if Jiang Li and Lu Chaoli getting too close would violate the laws of heaven.

Jiang Li chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Captain, don't you know that there is a saying that goes "Don't judge without knowing the whole picture"? You and I are both outsiders, and we don't even know the reason for what happened in the first place. Why do you think Lu Chaoli is a person with bad conduct just because of some groundless remarks?"

"I! This matter is no secret in Taohua Village. Comrade Xiao Jiang can go and ask around if you don't believe it!"

Zhou Guoqing thought Jiang Li suspected that he was lying, so he quickly explained to her that these were all told to him by the villagers themselves when he asked them!

It's just that he added a few more words when he retold it.

Jiang Li looked at him coldly: "Even if it's true, so what? What I saw was that he was a warm-hearted person who helped his neighbors. He had nothing to do with the bad behavior you mentioned. I don't care what others say, I only believe what I see."

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, you..."

"Since the captain loves to meddle in other people's affairs, I might as well make it clear today. It's true that you are the captain of our educated youth team, but that's all."

"You have no position or qualifications to interfere in my affairs. I hope the captain can sort out the relationship between us."

Zhou Guoqing's face froze, he clenched his fists and stammered for a long time without saying a word.

"Yes, Captain. Although we are all gay, we all have our own private space. I hope you can clarify the boundaries and stop interfering in everything. This will make anyone feel uncomfortable."

Xu Yuanyuan also agreed. Having said this, Jiang Li didn't plan to say anything more to Zhou Guoqing and held Xu Yuanyuan's hand.

"Yuanyuan, let's go."

"Let's go and cook!"

When talking to Xu Yuanyuan, Jiang Li returned to her usual gentle attitude. The two of them walked past Zhou Guoqing and went straight back to the room.

Zhou Guoqing turned around and stared at Jiang Li's back for a long time. He stood at the door until Jiang Li and Xu Yuanyuan entered the house.

Thinking of Jiang Li's words just now about drawing a line between them, Zhou Guoqing clenched his teeth and clenched his hands at his sides into fists.

hateful!

It must be that bastard Lu Chaoli who said bad things about him in front of Comrade Xiao Jiang!

Lu Chaoli was sitting at home when a pot fell from the sky.

Zhou Guoqing was sure that Jiang Li's cold attitude was instigated by Lu Chaoli, and he started to hate him after just meeting him once.

Bang--

Zhou Guoqing slammed the courtyard wall hard, then returned to the house angrily with his head down.

Li Zhixiu, who was wiping himself, looked at her helplessly: "Are you happy now? I told you that Comrade Xiao Jiang couldn't possibly be interested in the captain, but you didn't believe it. Now you finally believe it, right?"

Because they were close to the gate of the Youth League Institute, Liu Jiayi and Li Zhixiu heard the conversation between Jiang Li and Zhou Guoqing clearly.

Liu Jiayi showed a rare smile on her face: "She wouldn't dare to compete with me for the captaincy!"

Li Zhixiu: “…”

Don't worry, no one will snatch it from you, just lock it up! After wiping his body, Li Zhixiu looked at Liu Jiayi curiously and asked the question he had been wondering about.

"Jiayi, what do you like about the captain?"

Liu Jiayi was shy and said, "The captain is good-looking and caring. He is a good man who is trustworthy."

Liu Jiayi still remembers the scene at the train station when the captain came towards her with an enthusiastic look on his face and carried her bag.

She thought this was probably what they called love at first sight.

Li Zhixiu was confused and could only utter one word: "Huh?"

"Oh, you don't understand. Anyway, I just like him!"

Liu Jiayi didn't see the expression on Li Zhixiu's face. She kept her head down, immersed in her own thoughts, and even twisted her body shyly as she spoke.

Li Zhixiu: “…” I really don’t understand.

She even suspected that Jiayi's eyesight was not very good. Although it was inappropriate to discuss other people's appearance, who was not more pleasing to the eye than the captain, Comrade Xiao Xi or Comrade Xiao Lin? !

I know there is a saying that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Seeing that Liu Jiayi was so satisfied with Zhou Guoqing, Li Zhixiu didn't say anything more. It doesn't matter what others think, as long as you like him.

Xu Yuanyuan finally showed off her cooking skills for Jiang Li. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they were exceptionally delicious when made by Xu Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, it's delicious!"

Jiang Li gave Xu Yuanyuan a thumbs up.

Xu Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "If it tastes good, eat more."

Jiang Li nodded and said vaguely: "Comrade Xiao Zhang will have a good time in the future!"

Xu Yuanyuan laughed heartlessly when she heard this: "I think so too."

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and burst out laughing.

After dinner, Jiang Li took some hot water, wiped her body, and changed into a clean skirt.

The director of the orphanage was very skillful. She made the skirt for Jiang Li herself and treated her like her own daughter.

"Yuanyuan, wipe yourself. I feel a little full from eating just now. I'm going out for a walk."

Thinking of the agreement between herself and Lu Chaoli, Jiang Li informed Xu Yuanyuan on the pretext of digesting food.

"Okay, don't go too far when it gets dark. I'll come find you after I finish wiping myself!"

Xu Yuanyuan did not doubt him and went to the kitchen to boil water after giving the instructions.

The weather was too hot, so Jiang Li tied up her freshly washed hair and went out after getting ready.

"Cuckoo cuckoo——"
