"Grandpa, I really can't do it. I can't be a female leader. I don't have that kind of ambition."
Gu Chuanming waved his hand, feeling discouraged.
Then she wore another set of casual clothes. This time, Zhang Hongmei wore a ponytail, and Wang Xinyi helped her comb her bangs up, revealing her smooth and full forehead.
Zhang Hongmei looks pure and lovely, with a particularly clean temperament.
Zhang Shouyi was wearing a Zhongshan suit. The two of them looked like a traditional Chinese ink painting, a perfect match standing together, truly a golden couple.
Zhang Shouyi was particularly fond of Zhang Hongmei; her pure and innocent demeanor possessed a captivating allure that stirred a demon within him. Yet, he knew this was the girl he loved, the one he would spend his life with.
Finally, unable to resist, he raised his arm and put his arm around Zhang Hongmei's shoulder.
Liu Jingzhang captured this scene, and Zhang Hongmei's expression was particularly funny, with her brows furrowed and glaring angrily at Zhang Shouyi.
After that, the two of them took photos in the yard, and this set had the most photos taken.
Liu Jingzhang felt that his most successful candid shot was the scene of Zhang Shouyi picking flowers for Zhang Hongmei to wear. No other love story from his ancestors could compare to this shot; it was too beautiful.
Without realizing it, I kept pressing the shutter button.
Finally, the three of them took a group photo, and that was the end of it.
Liu Jingzhang was still a little reluctant to leave. Looking at the camera, there were only five more sheets left to be submitted, totaling ninety. Finally, he organized a group photo of everyone, and then submitted all the sheets.
"Boss, should I develop these photos or would you like to do it yourself?"
"Give it to me, I can do it myself. Thank you so much for your help today." Zhang Shouyi took the paper and thanked Liu Jingzhang with a smile.
"Hehe, Zhang Hongmei is my junior from school. You and Chief Gu are heroes in my heart. It is my honor to serve you."
It's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer, Zhang Hongmei. I'm going home now. Are you going back to school after the semester starts?
"If we're not going, then of course we have to go to school."
"Hehe, Hongmei, we need to go back to Liujiatun. We'll set off tomorrow night," Zhang Shouyi said with a smile.
Zhang Hongmei was taken aback when she heard this, but she was also quite touched. She was afraid of causing trouble and hadn't brought up the matter of going back, but she didn't expect Zhang Shouyi to think of it. She was about to go abroad, and it would be wonderful if she could go back for a visit.
Zhang Hongmei glanced at Zhang Shouyi gratefully; he was truly thinking of her best interests.
"Hehe, then I'll treat you to a meal before you leave, as a farewell dinner."
"Hehe, thanks. Just do what I asked you to do."
"Don't worry, if you won't show up, then I will. There shouldn't be any problem. I really have to go back now. Remember to look for me when you get back."
"Okay, thank you so much, Liu, for today."
"Yes, young man, you've worked hard. Hongmei will be away from home when she goes abroad. Come visit me whenever you have the chance."
"Really? Commander Gu? Can I really come?"
"Sure, we get along quite well. Come visit this old man whenever you have time."
Liu Jingzhang floated back; receiving praise from the hero in his heart was more exciting than anything else.
Back home, the excitement wore off, and I started worrying about my friend again, hoping he hadn't gotten too deeply involved. Through our interaction this afternoon, I realized this leader is serious.
Although Zhang Hongmei still seemed a bit confused, I could tell that she wasn't hostile towards her boss. They were a legitimate couple, and with time and interaction, they would definitely develop feelings for each other.
My friend has absolutely no chance; I just don't know if he can accept it.
While Zhang Hongmei was taking a bath, Zhang Shouyi gave Xiao Li a few instructions: they would be leaving the next night, and he would have to work overtime, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to get away.
Gu Chuanming and the other man sat together drinking tea. "Hehe, you've really gone all out for this little girl."
"You have to cherish your own wife."
"I hope you can treat her this well for the rest of your life. Go ahead and rest assured, leave things here to me."
"Well, I won't be home all day tomorrow. I need to take care of some important things. We'll leave tonight. Could you please keep an eye on this girl for me?"
"Hehe, finally something has made you so nervous, Zhang Shouyi. Don't worry, you don't need to watch over this girl. She'll be busier than you tomorrow, she'll definitely be preparing gifts for your return."
Also, you're going back to Liujiatun, but what about your father's place? Do you have time to go there?
"I'll call him when I get back. I really don't have time to go back. He knows the news, and even if I don't kowtow to him, he'll still be willing."
Actually, my dad didn't care about that. He took a liking to Zhang Hongmei, who was dark-skinned, thin, and frail, at first sight. Hongmei was ten years old at the time, and my dad was extremely excited, saying he had found me a wife.
"Hehe, now you've fulfilled your father's wish."
At this moment, Zhang Hongmei came over, sat down and drank a cup of boiled water that Zhang Shouyi had cooled for her. She stammered as if she wanted to speak, but she just couldn't open her mouth.
Who are Zhang Shouyi and Gu Chuanming? They're completely clueless, especially Zhang Shouyi, who's genuinely interested in Zhang Hongmei. He's got his mind racing. He probably already guessed what the girl was thinking.
“Hongmei, I’ve arranged to send you abroad on September 8th. So before you leave, I want you to go back to Liujiatun for a visit. Besides, we’re husband and wife now, so I have to go to your parents’ graves to pay my respects.”
Even if you leave me in the future and don't want me anymore, I will still be your husband for one day, and I want to be a good husband every single day. I will never let go of what I should do.
If you really don't want our relationship to be exposed, then I'll act as your older brother who accompanies you back home, and I'll only kowtow and burn paper money at your parents' graves.
After speaking, Zhang Shouyi looked at Zhang Hongmei with a touch of sadness and melancholy, like some kind of large dog, looking pitiful.
Gu Chuanming curled his lip and said, "Go ahead and pretend all you want."
Zhang Hongmei pouted. "Brother Zhang, you don't need to do this. I didn't mean to hide anything. I just feel that I'm too young. I'm afraid that when I go back to my hometown, my third uncle and his family will hold a big celebration. I don't want that."
"Are you looking down on me? Don't you want the villagers to accept me?" Zhang Shouyi asked leisurely, mimicking Zhang Hongmei's manner.
"Why would you ask that? I didn't mean it that way, it's just... whatever, do whatever you want."
"Hongmei, you really don't mind me, do you?"
"That's not what I meant. How could someone as important as you be so insecure?"
"I lose confidence when I'm with you." Zhang Shouyi looked at Zhang Hongmei helplessly. In fact, he was really unsure. Although Zhang Hongmei usually seemed indifferent, that was only because her bottom line had not been crossed.
