Thank you Miss wants to confess
"No, can't I..." Tong Zhenzhen still wanted to struggle a little longer.
Chen Miao shattered her delusion with a categorical statement:
"No, I'm telling you this. I've been in so many relationships. If a man shows you affection for no apparent reason and takes care of you in every possible way, do you think he wants to find a daughter to raise, or does he want to date someone?"
Luo Xiaoli also made up for it:
"The last golden-haired male protagonist who treated the heroine as his own daughter has now married the heroine in a golden wedding ceremony."
Tong Zhenzhen had no more excuses to make, so she lowered her head in frustration, even the stubborn hair on her head drooped down. Seeing her helpless and aggrieved look, Qu Fei stroked her furry head and comforted her:
"It's okay, Zhenzhen. It's normal to be nervous when you're in love for the first time. I was also shocked when Xue Yide confessed to me!"
"How did he confess to you?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other three people forgot about the previous topic and their eyes were fixed on Qu Fei.
Qu Fei: ...Aren’t we discussing Zhenzhen’s emotional issues?
However, sharing my own emotional experience may have a soothing effect. Thinking of this, Qu Fei held her cheeks with both hands, with a shy look in her eyes, and recalled nostalgically:
"He took me to his lab and used 99 culture dishes with all the bacteria wiped out to form a heart. He said it represented his everlasting love. It was so romantic!"
Tong, Chen, Luo: ...
Chen Miao's eyes twitched for a moment, and she whispered to Tong Zhenzhen:
"This is a negative example, you must never learn from it!"
Tong Zhenzhen blushed and whispered back:
"I don't dare to confess my feelings to Xie Ci. This is too advanced for me!"
Chen Miao thought about it and realized that Xie Ci would probably take some action soon. She had to teach Tong Zhenzhen some experience on how to deal with confessions and dates. But before she could start the class, Tong Zhenzhen suddenly looked as if she had seen a ghost, turned around and grabbed her arm:
"Help me, help me. Xie Ci suddenly asked me out to the market tomorrow. He has never asked me out before! This, this, this, is not going to..."
"It's very likely!" Chen Miao put on a serious expression and analyzed it for her as a love guru, "Ninety percent of confessions happen after a well-designed perfect date. When you are least expecting it but vaguely aware of it, they hit your heart accurately and win you over in one fell swoop!"
"This isn't a blow to my girlish heart, it's a blow to me to death..." Tong Zhenzhen felt a sense of tragedy, as if she was in danger of being stabbed if she stretched her head out, and another one to be stabbed if she drew back. When she imagined the scene of Xie Ci confessing his love to her, she felt a headache.
But at the same time, there is also a subtle joy.
"In short, the other party has already issued a declaration of war to us. How can we not accept the challenge?! Zhenzhen, reply to her immediately, and we will take him down tomorrow!" Chen Miao's eyes lit up. She finally got the chance to be someone else's love strategist. She was quite excited and eager to try.
Tong Zhenzhen thought that it was not a solution to keep avoiding it like this, she had to face it eventually. If he really meant that, it would be bad to keep him hanging, so she replied "OK" with a fearless attitude.
"Very good, I think we can have an all-night party tonight!" Chen Miao seemed to have adapted to the role of chief of staff and patted Tong Zhenzhen's shoulder vigorously.
"Come on, Zhenzhen, we are with you!" Qu Fei held Tong Zhenzhen's hand, fearing that she would faint from being too nervous.
Luo Xiaoli also said that there was no problem:
"Okay, the practical experience will be handed over to you and Qu Fei, and I, a single person, will just be the atmosphere group."
In order to give Xie Ci time and space to prepare, the three of them agreed that Tong Zhen could not return to her own residence tonight, so the large army stationed at Chen Miao's residence to hold a combat meeting.
At Tong Zhenzhen's residence, Xie Ci had just kicked out the unreasonable Yan Yue when he received the news that Tong Zhenzhen would not be coming back tonight. He started to worry again and could not help but frown and said:
"How could she not come back for dinner and not come home at night? She must have stayed up late playing games with someone again..."
"Hey, General Xie, do you remember what we just talked about? Girls don't like men who meddle in other people's affairs. You have to maintain some sense of boundaries!" Ma Chengyun unceremoniously picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs on the table with a chopstick. The meat was stewed just right, and the sweet and salty taste made him squint his eyes in intoxication, and praised:
"Of course, the fact that the food is delicious is a plus!"
Xie Ci, however, did not feel the slightest bit of joy at being praised. He glanced gloomily at the large table of dishes he had cooked. Originally, he wanted to give them to Tong Zhenzhen, but Lin Shizhu insisted on giving him "pre-war training". It would have been fine if Xie Yuan was included, but why were that little curly-haired guy and the bespectacled boy also included?
Xue Yide tasted the steamed sea bass in front of him and couldn't help but sigh that the seasoning was just right, not too fishy nor too bland. Adhering to the good moral character of being grateful for what one has done for others, he generously shared his experience:
"Why don't you go to the military camp and collect ninety-nine swords and arrange them into a heart shape, and then say that this represents your undying love?"
Xie Ci's head started to hurt again, veins popped out on his forehead, and he stared at Lin Shizhu with a gloomy face:
"Is this the 'helper' you found?"
Lin Shizhu, still unsatisfied, put down the wine cup in his hand and tried to smooth things over with a smile:
"Isn't it true that there is strength in numbers? Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, and we have four of us! Besides, they are familiar with Miss Tong and know her way of expressing her feelings, so it's better to be prepared. You don't want anything to go wrong tomorrow, do you?"
Lin Shizhu's words really touched his heart. No matter what, he didn't want to embarrass Tong Zhenzhen, whether she accepted or refused.
Xie Ci suppressed his irritation and was about to pick up his chopsticks to pick up some food when he saw the little curly-haired boy approaching Xie Yuan and showing his courtesy:
"Sister, are you feeling better? Your injured arm is inconvenient for you to pick up food. Let me do it for you~"
"It's fine with me," Xie Yuan shook her head, but she didn't refuse after all, "but if you want, feel free to do so."
After getting the nod, Ma Chengyun happily rolled up his sleeves. The chopsticks he stretched out in the air were suddenly stopped by another pair of chopsticks. He looked up in confusion and met Xie Ci's murderous eyes:
"Do you really think I'm dead?!"
Ma Chengyun retracted his hand awkwardly:
“I dare not, I dare not…”
Then she turned to Xie Yuan and cried:
"Oh, sister, your brother is so fierce..."
Xie Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she picked up a piece of food for him with her chopsticks:
"You'll get used to it. Okay, let's eat, or the food will get cold."
Thanks: ...I really want to flip the table
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for both teams.
The next day, the war officially started
"Okay Zhenzhen, remember what we said last night, keep the video call on the whole time and just deal with it normally! We will be following you all the time, so just put your mind at ease!" Chen Miao promised solemnly, and then the three of them, like spies in TV dramas, each found a good seat, either sat down at the tea stall or hid in the alley, perfectly blending into the noisy crowd.
Luo Xiaoli even poked his head out from the corner of the alley and gave Tong Zhenzhen a thumbs up.
Tong Zhenzhen replied with an OK, feeling a bit embarrassed, and then she heard a familiar voice behind her:
"You're here?"
Her heart tightened for a moment, and at the same time, Chen Miao's exclamation rang in her ears:
"Attention! The target has appeared! Level 1 alert!!!"
Tong Zhenzhen took a deep breath, tried to adjust her facial expression, then turned around and greeted:
"Haha, yes, you are here..."
The tall young man rarely took off his black clothes and changed into a bright round-necked robe. His waist was tied to show off his slender curves. The gold thread on the scarlet robe sparkled in the sunlight, and the embroidered goshawk seemed as if it would soar into the sky at the next moment, just like his sharp and proud aura. Perhaps because he was not wearing a sword, his right hand wanted to reach for the hilt, but it missed, and he had to stay there awkwardly, which made him feel more intimate.
Hell, she actually found the thank you kind.
Tong Zhenzhen pinched her thigh fiercely, forcing herself to get out of the strange filter, and said something else:
"You are dressed quite festively today..."
Chen Miao: “…”
Qu Fei: “…”
Luo Xiaoli: "...No, sister, I'm speechless."
Xie Ci was stunned when he heard this, and looked down at the clothes on his body. Lin Shizhu and the others forced him to wear this, saying that no one would wear black clothes to confess their love, as if they were attending a funeral. That's why he put on this clothes that he would never wear on normal days.
“Well, I used to wear black clothes because blood splattered on them wouldn’t be noticeable, but now I don’t have to worry about that.” Xie Ci nodded and spoke concisely.
Lin Shizhu, who was also providing remote guidance during the video call:
"...No, buddy, do you have to say something that ruins the atmosphere on such a romantic day?!"
Xie Ci seemed to think that what he said was a little inappropriate. Fortunately, Tong Zhenzhen seemed to be used to it and was not scared by his words. He breathed a sigh of relief and quietly sent a private message to the military advisory group:
【What should I say then? 】
For some reason, he had never been so nervous even when he first went to the battlefield. At this moment, his mind was blank and he didn't know what to talk about.
"Take her around first, buy her whatever she likes, and get along with her as usual, and everything will be fine, just fine~" Ma Chengyun rarely made some useful remarks, so Xie Ci looked around and found Tong Zhenzhen's favorite snack shop in the market not far away, so he suggested:
"Would you like to go over there? There's your favorite food there."
"Okay, okay, where is it?!" When food was mentioned, Tong Zhenzhen immediately threw away all her worries and grabbed Xie Ci's hand with shining eyes.
Xie Ci was caught off guard by her sudden closeness. Even though she had behaved without boundaries like this more than once, he still wasn't used to it. His ears turned red, but he didn't let go of her hand. He gently led her over there.
"Greedy ghost." He touched Tong Zhenzhen's forehead with his free hand and unconsciously revealed an almost doting smile.
I don’t know if it’s because of what Chen Miao and the others said yesterday, but now whatever Xie Ci does makes Tong Zhen blush and her heart beats fast, and she can only passively follow Xie Ci.
Chen Miao immediately reminded:
"Zhenzhen, don't be fooled by the other party's beauty trick! You have to take back the initiative!!"
Tong Zhenzhen finally came back to her senses and looked at Xie Ci's impeccable profile again reluctantly. He was buying her favorite snacks, and Xie Ci knew what she wanted to eat the most without her even asking.
【The Only True God】:
How can I take the initiative? This is too advanced. Woo woo woo woo
Chen Miao followed them and took the opportunity to go to the restaurant opposite to give orders:
"Speaking of eating, we have to mention the classic feeding session. Come on, Zhenzhen, feed him!"
"Ah, ah?!" Tong Zhenzhen was so shocked that she said it out loud. Xie Ci turned around and looked at her:
"What's wrong?"
Tong Zhenzhen took the crab roe tofu from his hand and said guiltily, "No, nothing. Do you want to eat tofu?"
Xie Ci was suddenly startled and said in surprise:
"That's strange. You usually eat a lot by yourself, why did you think of giving me food today?"
Tong Zhenzhen blushed at what he said and retorted:
"How could I?! Just tell me whether you want to eat it or not!"
Xie Ci was silent, and then suddenly moved closer. Tong Zhenzhen opened her eyes wide in surprise, feeling the boy's warm breath on her cheek. He placed his broad palm on her forehead and murmured:
"I don't have a fever, why are you acting so abnormal today?"
Qu Fei, who was lurking at the tea stall, was shocked:
"Oh my god, is General Xie really that capable? Who on earth is saying that he is a straight man?"
Lin Shizhu slapped the tree trunk excitedly:
"Good job, Xie Ci. That's quite sensible! I underestimated you before!"
Only the senior veteran Chen Miao saw through everything. Xie Ci was just too slow to realize what he had done. He would collapse completely if the opponent counterattacked. So he commanded confidently:
"Quick, Zhenzhen, use the sweet feeding to take back the initiative!!"
Tong Zhenzhen's hazy brain no longer had the energy to think, so she could only mechanically follow what she said. Without even thinking, she picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks and put it to Xie Ci's mouth:
"Come, try it, it's delicious."
The sweet aroma of tofu wafted from his lips, and Xie Ci subconsciously opened his mouth and took a bite. When he felt the soft and tender taste on the tip of his tongue, he realized belatedly how close the distance between them was, and that this was fed to him by Tong Zhenzhen herself.
