558: I’m really afraid that I won’t be able to get out after I go in.
Chen Shukui laughed when he heard Zhou Ziheng say this:
"When did you, Zhou Ziheng, become so obedient? This isn't the military, and your father-in-law isn't the commander. Why does he have to do whatever he says?"
Zhou Ziheng thought of the murderous look in his father-in-law's eyes. Well, it was more intimidating than that of the army chief.
Liang Qin said:
"I think Brother Zhou has changed a lot. He has become gentler than before."
After hearing this, Chen Shukui also realized that Zhou Ziheng's sharpness had been restrained a lot. When he was with Yu Xiaoye, his every move was filled with a gentleness and tolerance that he had never seen before.
It is hard to imagine that this person is the cold and decisive Zhou Ziheng.
Chen Shukui asked curiously:
"Is the rice still in the pot and not cooked yet?"
Liang Qin quickly hit Chen Shukui's arm and said angrily:
"Can you ask me something serious?"
"Isn't this a serious question? Hey, tell me the truth, the rice is still raw, right?"
Zhou Ziheng did not say whether the rice was raw or cooked, but only said:
"I can't affect her work for the time being."
Chen Shukui said anxiously:
"Work and marriage don't conflict. You can't become an ascetic just for work. Even in such a strict military, families still have one month of home leave every year to reunite with their spouses. The military never supports giving up family for work."
"This matter cannot be rushed. It's not as simple as you say."
"Ouch!"
Seeing Zhou Ziheng's calm demeanor, Chen Shukui became really anxious for him.
Liang Qin looked at Chen Shukui scratching his head anxiously and couldn't help laughing:
"The emperor is not in a hurry. The eunuch is in a hurry."
At this time, the sound of Yu Xiaoye singing a nursery rhyme came from the room again. The nursery rhyme was one they had never heard before. The melody was light and lively, coupled with Yu Xiaoye's sweet voice, the nursery rhyme was sung very beautifully.
The two little guys clapped along, and when Yu Xiaoye finished singing, they cheered in admiration:
"Sister, sing it again, sing it again, and I'll steal some rock candy from the candy jar for you to eat!"
"Okay, sister will sing it one last time------"
Zhou Ziheng was listening to the nursery rhyme, his eyes unconsciously glancing towards that room, a happy smile on his face.
After dinner, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
The two of them wanted to stay in a guesthouse, but they were afraid that if they arrived too late there would be no rooms available, so they didn't stay any longer and got up and left.
Chen Shukui sent them downstairs.
When they came downstairs, Chen Shukui suddenly grabbed Zhou Ziheng's wrist and secretly stuffed something into his hand.
Zhou Ziheng held the thing and felt what it was through his gloves.
Chen Shukui chuckled, and Zhou Ziheng felt confused.
But Zhou Ziheng still said calmly:
"I don't need it."
"It may not be useful, but it can be used in a critical moment to avoid danger. It's right to listen to me. I've been through it before."
Zhou Ziheng pondered the words of the experienced person, and finally, he accepted the thing and put it in his pocket as if nothing had happened.
The two got in the car, drove out of the family compound, walked for a distance on the road, and arrived at the division headquarters guesthouse.
I showed my work ID at the guesthouse and booked two adjacent rooms.
Going upstairs to the guest room, Zhou Ziheng opened one of the doors with his key, and then said under the influence of alcohol:
"Don't let me in. Once I go in, I might not be able to get out."
Yu Xiaoye sneered:
"What makes you think I'll let you in?"
Zhou Ziheng felt that it must be the alcohol that was causing the problem. Hearing Yu Xiaoye's arrogant words, he really wanted to push the door open and push the person in.
But he was really afraid that he would not be able to get out after going in.
His self-control was on the verge of collapse, and he couldn't get close to that point no matter what.
He deliberately looked away and said:
"Rest early. I'll take you to see the commander tomorrow."
"Division Commander? Which division commander?"
"Who else could it be? Of course, it's the commander of the Second Corps."
Yu Xiaoye was a little nervous when he heard that he was going to meet the highest commander of the Second Division Corps:
"Before you came, you only said you were here to see Sister Liang, but you didn't mention meeting such a high-ranking leader."
"It's okay. I have a long-standing friendship with the commander. This visit doesn't count as a meeting with the leader. Don't be nervous."
Yu Xiaoye heard that Zhou Ziheng had an old friendship with the commander of the Second Division, and his curiosity was piqued again. However, it was inconvenient to talk at the door, so Yu Xiaoye wanted Zhou Ziheng to come inside to talk. He took Zhou Ziheng's hand and said:
"Shall we go inside and talk?"
Zhou Ziheng shook his head with a stern face:
"I'm not going in. If you let me in, you're forcing me to make a mistake."
Yu Xiaoye felt a little flustered when he heard him say that, so he had to let go of his hand:
"Then let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll get up early tomorrow."
After saying that, Yu Xiaoye pushed open the door and entered the room.
When he turned around to close the door, he leaned on the door frame and looked at Zhou Ziheng reluctantly.
Seeing the loneliness on his face and the struggle in his eyes, I felt a little reluctant.
But he still closed the door and didn't let Zhou Ziheng in.
Yu Xiaoye also felt that Zhou Ziheng was trying his best to restrain himself, fearing that the gun would go off accidentally.
At this time, it is better not to get too close to him and make him suffer.
I said I wanted to get up early, but when I woke up and opened my eyes, it was already past eight o'clock.
She hurriedly got up, washed, left the room, and knocked on Zhou Ziheng's door. Zhou Ziheng seemed to have been waiting for him and quickly opened the door.
After a good sleep, Zhou Ziheng had gotten rid of the drunkenness and loss of composure from last night, and regained his calm and steady demeanor.
He raised the watch on his wrist to show Yu Xiaoye:
"You said you had to get up early. Look at the time. It's almost nine o'clock."
Yu Xiaoye deliberately shirked responsibility:
"Who told you not to call me? It's all your fault."
Zhou Ziheng smiled and couldn't help but flick her head on the hat.
The two of them went out and got some hot water from the water room in the guesthouse.
Because the Chinese New Year had just passed, the breakfast shops on the street were not open yet, and the canteen at the division headquarters was already past mealtime and there was no food to eat. So the two of them drank some boiled water and ate the frozen, hard bread they brought in the car.
After a simple meal, Zhou Ziheng took Yu Xiaoye to meet the commander.
On the way there, Yu Xiaoye asked:
"Are you empty-handed?"
"Who said I'm empty-handed? Don't I take you with me?"
“…”
Zhou Ziheng turned his head to look at Yu Xiaoye and patiently explained why he was empty-handed:
"The commander is my leader after all. If I bring anything with me, I might run into someone and be seen by them, which could easily lead to misunderstandings and cause trouble for the commander, so I'm not bringing anything with me."
Yu Xiaoye heard the casual attitude behind Zhou Ziheng's words and asked:
"What personal relationship do you have with the teacher?"
"It's not really a personal relationship. He used to be a guard for my father. I was young at the time and didn't have a deep impression of him. Later he was transferred and we lost contact. After I arrived in the Great Northern Wilderness, he found me and told me about the past, and then I remembered him."
Yu Xiaoye's eyes widened when he heard this:
"The division commander actually served as your father's guard?!"
"Well, what?"
Yu Xiaoye forced himself to remain calm and shook his head:
"nothing."
