In the dim room, only a few even breathing sounds could be heard.
Zhou Rang opened his eyes in the darkness, a trace of hidden pain flashed in his eyes, his thin lips were pale, and the sweat on his forehead wet his hair and stuck to his skin, making him look disheveled.
The wound on his waist was still tearing his nerves, causing him to suffer inhuman torture every time he moved.
So he rejected her touch again and again, just because he didn't want her to find out something unusual and get to the bottom of it.
Su Nan's mumblings just now flashed through Zhou Rang's mind, and he was struggling and sad. It's not that he didn't want to respond to her or comfort her. He loved her so much, how could he bear to let her suffer any grievances.
But he didn't want her to worry with him. The situation this time was more complicated than what he had encountered in Shanghai before. He must not let her know about it, and he must not involve her.
I'm sorry, Nan Nan, I'll tell you everything after I've dealt with all the dangerous situations.

The next morning, when Su Nan opened his eyes, Zhou Rang was no longer in the room. He didn't know when he left, and the quilt he slept in had long lost its temperature.
Is this their first fight? No, they didn't even have a fight, they just went into a cold war for no apparent reason.
Su Nan stared at his pillow in a daze for a long time, then he sighed softly, moved his body, climbed up from the bed, and walked towards the bathroom with his toiletries in a depressed mood.
After washing up, when I passed by the kitchen, I caught a glimpse of the porridge and fried dough sticks on the dining table.
At that moment, Su Nan's mood improved a little, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
After finishing breakfast, Su Nan left a note and boarded the bus to Huiping City with her packed luggage. She had to arrive before the workers got off work in the afternoon, otherwise there would be no one to receive her.
The bus swayed as it moved forward.
Su Nan told the driver to drop her off at the stop closest to the industrial complex, and then she closed her eyes and took a short nap.
After getting off the bus at the stop, Su Nan asked several people before she found the exact location of the 㫧 Workers' Corps. Looking at the solemn military gate not far away, she couldn't help swallowing.
Su Nan didn't expect that the Huiping City Workers' Union Residence was opened inside the army. This was too formal, which made her hesitate and feel uneasy.
If the makeup isn't done well, won't he be dragged out and executed on the spot according to military law?
Cheering herself up in her heart, Su Nan walked towards the gate with her head held high, stepping into the army that she had never served in her two lifetimes.
The young soldier on guard looked at Su Nan without blinking, and he was already on guard in his heart. He noticed her presence the moment she entered his sight.
After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, his first reaction was that she was an actor in the troupe. However, he had been on guard for so long and had never seen her before. Logically speaking, he would definitely have an impression of her with such outstanding looks.
But he searched his mind several times and found no information about the other party, so this idea was ruled out.
Before I could think about it for long, I heard the little girl in front of me answer the question herself.
"Hello, comrade. I am the makeup artist consultant invited by Deputy Head Chen of the Labor Union. Here is my letter of introduction and relevant documents." Su Nan took out a briefcase from his bag and handed it to the person in front of him.
He saluted solemnly first, then took the bag from her hand. Before he finished reading it, he saw a girl in a green military uniform and two ponytails running towards him from the gate.
"Sister Su." The visitor waved enthusiastically at Su Nan across the gate railings with a bright smile on his face.
Su Nan also recognized Chen Youshan and smiled back.
"Da Qiangzi, let her in quickly. She is really the makeup artist my aunt invited to help at the Lantern Festival." Chen Youshan grabbed Liu Daqiang's sleeve through the railing and shook it up and down.
There was a hint of intimacy and coquettishness in her words, and her eyes revealed the sweetness and willfulness that is common among little girls who fall in love.
Su Nan looked at Chen Youshan, then at Liu Yuqiang, who didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and couldn't help but reveal a meaningful expression.
"It still has to be handled impartially." Liu Yuqiang cleared his throat, glanced at Su Nan, whose face showed "I understand all", and waved away Chen Youshan's hand somewhat uncomfortably, then began to check the documents carefully.
Chen Youshan pouted, withdrew her hand, and started talking to Su Nan.
"Sister Su, are you tired? You must have come all the way here. It must have been hard."
"The last time you did my makeup, my family members all said it looked good, especially my aunt. So after I asked around, I came to you."
"I'll take you to the dormitory later. We've prepared a single room for you there. You'll stay there for the next two days. After you put your luggage away, we'll go to the cafeteria."
Chen Youshan kept talking non-stop, and Su Nan listened to her carefully. When she heard that she could sleep in a single room, she couldn't help but cheer in her heart.
She didn't want to live together with so many people, and it would be too inconvenient as she would only stay for a few days.
At this time, Liu Yiqiang had finally finished reviewing the documents. After he sorted out the bag, he returned it to Su Nan and opened the door.
"Wait a minute, I won't come to have dinner with you. I'll eat with Sister Su." Chen Youshan lowered her voice and instructed Liu Yiqiang.
"Okay." Liu Yuqiang replied in a low voice with a smile in his eyes. Then he waved to Chen Youshan and returned to his post to continue standing guard.
"I'll help you carry your things." Chen Youshan took the suitcase containing the spare clothes from Su Nan, but did not take the other bamboo box, because she knew that makeup artists generally don't like others to touch her makeup box.
For example, there’s that arrogant woman in the Konkurgan. If anyone gets close to her makeup box, she’ll be in a weird mood all day long.
So subconsciously Chen Youshan thought that Su Nan was the same, but she was really worrying too much, because Su Nan had no taboos in this regard.
In her previous life, her job required her to deal with all kinds of cosmetics. She had used dozens or even hundreds of makeup cases, if not tens of thousands. If anyone touched her makeup case, she would get angry and would be so angry that she would die.
The two hadn't walked far when Chen Youshan pointed to the open space on Su Nan's right and introduced it to her: "Look, that's the training ground for soldiers."
Su Nan looked in the direction Chen Youshan pointed, and saw a large open space with training equipment placed on it, and many men with naked upper bodies were running on it.
It was winter and they were only wearing long trousers, but they were sweating profusely.
It must be really hard work. While Su Nan felt distressed, his eyes were staring at him in admiration. Wow, he is indeed a soldier who has gone through devilish training. Look at that figure, he is really full of hormones.
Chen Youshan was someone who often lived in the military camp, so she was used to their naked behavior. But Su Nan was not like that. Most girls would shyly look away when seeing so many men.
It's rare to see someone like Su Nan who is not shy at all. He is really brave. Chen Youshan made a conclusion about Su Nan in her heart.
Before the two men crossed the training ground, a small group of men came towards them.
