Chapter 12 Youth is Wonderful
It's not a very expensive item, and since I've already used it, the other person probably doesn't really want it anymore.
Xie Zhizhi didn't insist on returning it, saying, "Thank you then."
The handkerchief hadn't been returned, and Xie Zhizhi was about to get a free meal again.
She thought that since they were in the same military region and Wen Jinzhou and Zhou Lin were friends, she would always have a chance to repay the favor, so there was no need to worry too much about it.
Indeed, Xie Zhizhi didn't hesitate. Before getting her food, she even asked Wen Jinzhou, "Do you have any money on you?"
"Are you out of money?" Wen Jinzhou thought she was short of money and wanted to borrow some, so he started taking money out of his pocket.
He immediately took out the money Zhou Lin gave him.
“This is the emergency money that Lao Zhou left for you, take it quickly,” Wen Jinzhou said, stuffing it into her hand.
Xie Zhizhi just wanted to order a plate of braised pork and a plate of braised lion's head meatballs.
She was worried that Wen Jinzhou didn't have enough pocket money on him, which is why she asked the question. She never expected...
With five ten-yuan bills in her hand, Xie Zhizhi immediately grinned, "Lunch is on me!"
"It's a deal, it's my treat..."
Xie Zhizhi waved her hand generously, "You've already gone to so much trouble, how could I let you treat me to a meal!"
With money in hand, Xie Zhizhi was very generous, saying, "I'll pay, I'll pay, don't be shy with me!"
"Otherwise I'll get angry," she said, looking like she was about to get angry.
Looking at her feigned anger, Wen Jinzhou thought...how cute.
If... if my little sister hadn't had that accident back then, she would be all grown up now, and probably just as cute.
"Then I'll have to be shameless," Wen Jinzhou thought of his poor sister and agreed to let Xie Zhizhi treat him.
Paying for herself, Xie Zhizhi decisively ordered one serving of all the dishes she wanted to eat.
Seeing that Xie Zhizhi had been beaten with meat and vegetables, and quite a lot of them, Wen Jinzhou quickly said, "Zhizhi, don't be so polite."
"You ordered so much food, I feel bad."
Xie Zhizhi looked at him shyly and said, "I want to eat, I'm a little hungry."
Wen Jinzhou: "..." It's me who's oblivious to hunger. (′▽`)
Xie Zhizhi is not the kind of person who would waste money maliciously.
So she and Wen Jinzhou ordered six dishes and two soups.
Aside from the fact that none of the six dishes were vegetarian, it wasn't really a waste.
Wen Jinzhou could tell she was very hungry. "Eat more."
Xie Zhizhi's cheeks bulged out as she said, "You eat too, you eat too!"
Xie Zhizhi held a spoon in one hand and chopsticks in the other.
He drank soup with his left hand and ate food with his right, not even bothering to lift his head.
Wen Jinzhou couldn't help but put food on her plate several times.
Xie Zhizhi was busy eating and thanking everyone, making her seem exceptionally busy for a while.
Even the busy Wen Jinzhou felt a little embarrassed, "You're welcome, you're welcome, please eat more..."
Before Wen Jinzhou could finish his sentence, someone passing by saw Xie Zhizhi sitting opposite him and couldn't help but ask, "Commander Wen, who is this...?"
“Commander Zhou’s wife!” Wen Jinzhou replied immediately.
"Commander Zhou's wife?" the man murmured, glancing at Wen Jinzhou's "attentive" expression, then at Xie Zhizhi, who was engrossed in eating and possessed considerable beauty. He seemed about to speak... but hesitated, hesitant to continue...
Xie Zhizhi swallowed what was in her mouth, looked up at the other person, and saw that the other person seemed hesitant to speak. She silently pulled her own lunchbox closer to her. "Commander Zhou is not here. This is my first time here, so Battalion Commander Wen brought me here to eat."
Xie Zhizhi means: You don't need to be so gossipy.
Even if it were her, she still couldn't resist gossiping.
After hearing what she said and seeing the man's expression, Wen Jinzhou immediately explained, "Old Zhou went on a mission and asked me to take care of his wife."
The person immediately replied, "I understand, I understand."
Wen Jinzhou "..."
Do you really understand?
"you……"
The man immediately ran away, saying, "Battalion Commander Wen, I've finished eating, I'm leaving now." He quickly disappeared from sight.
Xie Zhizhi asked Wen Jinzhou, "Won't this affect your reputation?"
Wen Jinzhou originally wanted to tell her not to overthink it.
Hearing this, he burst out laughing, "What do I have to offer? It's you who's lacking..."
Xie Zhizhi shook her head directly, "Don't worry, it won't affect my appetite."
"..."
Wen Jinzhou was momentarily stunned, then burst into uncontrollable laughter.
He laughed so hard that Xie Zhizhi silently pushed his bowl of soup closer to him.
The meal ended with Xie Zhizhi burping.
Wen Jinzhou led her, who was hiccuping, to Zhou Lin's residence.
Zhou Lin lived in a dormitory building, in a one-bedroom apartment with a complete bathroom, which was clean and tidy.
Wen Jinzhou took the key left by Zhou Lin, opened the door, and asked Xie Zhizhi if there was anything else she could help with.
After Xie Zhizhi shook her head, he left.
He knows how to avoid suspicion.
"If anything happens, you can have someone call me," Wen Jinzhou instructed as he left.
Xie Zhizhi obediently nodded, "Mm!"
"Commander Wen, shall I see you off?" she said politely.
Wen Jinzhou waved his hand, "No need, you should rest for a while!"
Zhou Lin lived on the third floor. Wen Jinzhou said it wasn't necessary, so Xie Zhizhi waved her hand while holding onto the threshold, "Battalion Commander Wen, take care."
"Okay, I'm leaving."
As soon as Wen Jinzhou left, Xie Zhizhi went straight into Zhou Lin's room.
She tossed her bag onto the coffee table and then sprawled out on the sofa.
Once the fatigue from lying down was gone, Xie Zhizhi got up.
After taking off her clothes and giving herself a nice, relaxing shower, Xie Zhizhi went to bed and continued sleeping.
"Thump thump!!"
Xie Zhizhi was awakened by the knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" Xie Zhizhi rubbed her eyes and opened the door.
Wen Jinzhou stood outside the door with a lunchbox in his hand. "I went to the cafeteria to get food, and I brought you some too."
"Here, take it!"
Xie Zhizhi reached out and took it, a little embarrassed, "I... fell asleep."
Wen Jinzhou was particularly understanding: "You must have been tired from the journey."
Xie Zhizhi nodded and asked, "Battalion Commander Wen, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
Wen Jinzhou shook his head, "No, thank you." He showed Xie Zhizhi his other hand, which was also holding a lunchbox.
Xie Zhizhi didn't insist, but simply asked, "How much was the meal? I'll get it for you!"
"No need, I'll wait for Lao Zhou to come back and have him give it to me." Wen Jinzhou said, turning and going downstairs.
Xie Zhizhi carried the lunchbox back into the house, and only when she looked out onto the balcony did she realize that it was already dark outside.
I opened each lunchbox one by one. There were three dishes and a soup. Except for the soup, all the dishes were meat.
Xie Zhizhi happily finished eating it all.
After finishing his meal, he continued to lounge on the sofa like Ge You.
After lying down to digest her food, Xie Zhizhi got up to wash the lunchbox.
After washing the lunchbox, doing laundry, and tidying up the house, Xie Zhizhi felt hungry again.
Touching her belly, Xie Zhizhi sighed, "It's good to be young, you get hungry so quickly."
It's just... I get hungry too quickly.
Fortunately, young people sleep well and can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
After running around and taking a shower, Xie Zhizhi lay on the bed and fell asleep again.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
I was woken up by a knock on the door again.
Wen Jinzhou brought breakfast again.
Xie Zhizhi finally felt embarrassed. "Battalion Commander Wen, you don't need to bring me food. I remember where the canteen is. I can go buy food myself."
