Chapter 011 We Can’t Get the Certificate
Downstairs in the family compound.
Squeak——
The match struck the tin paper, and the flame leapt up. The man lowered his head and brought the cigarette in his mouth closer.
He took two deep puffs, and the scarlet smoke dispersed. He took the cigarette out and held it between his fingertips, and the air was filled with smoke.
I looked up at the closed window on the third floor with the curtains drawn, feeling a little dazed.
He has been standing here for nearly ten minutes.
My mind is filled with those eyes that seem to contain the stars and the sea, charming and deep.
Like a datura flower, it was gorgeous and charming, making him want to sink into it as if he was poisoned, full of greed.
I can't remember how I walked out of the room just now.
Embarrassed?
Escape?
These words seemed to be associated with him for the first time, even though he was always calm and composed.
Even at this moment, whenever he thought that what he had just accidentally picked up from the ground was actually the underwear she had taken off, his fingertips still felt hot.
"Hey, why are you downstairs? You're waiting for me."
Zhou Nanxu turned around.
Standing behind him was Qin Cheng.
The look Qin Cheng cast at him was filled with teasing, sympathy, and worry, in short, it was a bit complicated.
Sighing, Qin Cheng walked forward and patted Zhou Nanxu on the shoulder, comforting him with deep sympathy, "I just came from the cafeteria, and I heard everything."
"What did you hear?" Zhou Nanxu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
Qin Cheng's smile was a bit provocative, "Of course I heard that your country wife came to see you. What, is it so exciting that you don't even dare to go home?"
Then he pushed the person and urged, "I didn't even eat in the cafeteria. I brought it directly packed and brought it back. I wanted to come back to meet my new sister-in-law first. Come on, go upstairs, take me to meet my new sister-in-law. I have to go to the camp soon. Our camp has a night training this week, so we are in a hurry."
He had just returned from the art troupe and went straight to the cafeteria to eat without even going home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the cafeteria, I heard a big piece of news - Deputy Commander Zhou's wife came to the army to find him. Deputy Political Commissar Guo went to pick her up in person and led her directly to Deputy Commander Zhou's residence.
Qin Cheng's ears perked up when he heard this, and he first asked people what she looked like and whether she was pretty.
He is self-conscious about his superficiality, and his first impression of people is based on their faces.
The same is true for blind dates, which start with the five senses and end with the three views.
The results of the investigation revealed two extremes.
Some said that she was not just ugly, but the way she dressed looked even more old-fashioned than the old ladies in their forties or fifties in the yard, and was as slovenly as the Fang family.
There were also reports that a young soldier from the Logistics Department who went to pick up people with Deputy Political Commissar Guo said that she was very beautiful, like a fairy. He did not dare to look at her at the time and kept his head down the whole time.
This aroused Qin Cheng's curiosity even more.
I didn’t eat in the cafeteria. I borrowed a lunch box from someone, packed my food and went straight to the staff housing building.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he ran the entire way back.
Zhou Nanxu ignored Qin Cheng's refusal and instead kept his eyes on the lunch box in his hand.
No hesitation.
Strike quickly and accurately.
Qin Cheng only felt that something was being peeled off from his body.
Wait for him to react.
It turned out that it was the food he hadn't had time to eat yet.
Zhou Nanxu, "Give me the key to your house."
Qin Cheng's eyes widened.
What's the meaning?
Someone added, “I don’t want to go to the logistics department to get it.”
Everyone knows that the logistics department basically has spare keys to all the rooms, big and small, in the family compound.
Although Qin Cheng was puzzled, he had no choice but to accept his fate and took out the key from his trouser pocket. He was just about to ask the person what he wanted his house key for.
Zhou Nanxu spoke up, "I'll take you to meet him when I have the chance. Not today. I'll sleep at your house tonight."
then.
Qin Cheng just watched the person who forcibly took away his food and keys go up the stairs and return home.
This time Zhou Nanxu did not use the key to open the door. Instead, he stood outside the door and knocked, waiting for the person inside to open the door.
Rong Mei had just dried her hair half-dry and found a new set of clothes to change into.
I originally thought this was a guesthouse and I would be living here alone, so I just wanted to make myself comfortable.
Unexpectedly, a man suddenly broke in halfway through the journey, and the house belonged to someone else.
This requires us to pay attention to our image and dress.
But no one knew where the man went. After returning the clothes to her, he hurried out again.
Just as I was wondering where to go for dinner, there was a knock on the door.
When she opened the door and saw that it was Zhou Nanxu, Rong Mei was very puzzled, "Don't you have the key? Why did you knock on the door?"
The man did not explain, but put the lunch box on the table.
He said to her, "Let's eat first."
When Rong Mei heard about eating, her eyes lit up instantly and she felt full of energy.
I was so hungry along the way that I hardly ate anything.
Looking at the only box of food on the table, he asked, "What about you?"
Zhou Nan replied, "I went to the city for a meeting today, and I ate in the city cafeteria before coming back."
Rong Mei was no longer polite and walked over and sat down.
He stared at the lunch box whose lid had been opened by Zhou Nanxu and frowned.
The man who had been watching her every move frowned and asked, "Don't you like these?"
At the same time, he was also thinking about whose house he should go to borrow ingredients from, because he was too busy recently and he either ate out or ate in the cafeteria, so there was nothing to cook at home.
Rong Mei shook her head, "Not really, I'm not picky about food, but there's too much, I can't finish it."
Although she was very hungry, the food in the lunch box was enough for her to eat for two days.
The man pursed his lips and said, "It's okay. Just eat as much as you want."
"What a waste..."
The words have not been finished yet.
Zhou Nanxu blurted out, "Just leave the rest for me to eat."
After a slight reaction, he realized that his words were too reckless and a bit ambiguous.
He stood up and was about to say that he should go to the kitchen to get a bowl to share the food.
Rong Mei had already picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
She ate very slowly, taking small bites at a time. If you didn't know her well, you would think she was counting the grains one by one.
If he saw someone eating like this in the army on a normal day, Zhou Nanxu would definitely stand up and throw the food and the box into the trash can without hesitation.
Even if they were not his soldiers, he would not be used to seeing such a pampered way of eating outside, and would choose to turn a blind eye and just get up and leave.
But reality gave him a hard slap in the face.
Not only did he not find Rong Mei's way of eating disgusting, but he found it pleasing to the eye.
Zhou Nanxu took something out of his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Rong Mei.
With a tentative tone, "What are your plans next?"
Rong Mei lowered her eyes and glanced at what Zhou Nanxu handed her. It was her ID card.
He reached out, picked it up, took a look at it, and then put it away.
"Huh?" He looked at the man opposite him puzzledly.
Zhou Nanxu looked at her seriously, "You are only eighteen years old, not even the legal age. Do you know that according to the new marriage law, if a gay man is under the age of twenty-two and a lesbian is under the age of twenty, they do not meet the minimum age standard for marriage certificates?"
The tip of the tongue feels astringent.
"So, we can't get a marriage certificate. Legally speaking, we are not a legal couple now."
