Hearing Chu Xun's words, Li Xiyue felt a warm, throbbing sensation in her heart. She hugged his strong waist, feeling sweet and happy.
"I'm going to see one of your brigade officers later; I might need to reveal that we're dating," Chu Xun said, as if remembering something.
Li Xiyue nodded. "Okay."
He consulted with her on everything and respected her so much that she was very happy.
"What about you?" Chu Xun let go of her, remembering that she seemed to have a habit of taking a nap, and asked, "Do you want to rest for a bit?"
"Let's take a break."
Taking a 30-minute nap every day can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
"Alright, you rest. I'll go talk to the brigade leaders about something." Chu Xun gently brushed the stray hairs behind her ear, his movements tender and his eyes full of affection.
When Chu Xun arrived at Xu Guoqiang's house, Xu Guoqiang had just finished eating. Chu Xun explained his purpose: "Comrade Li Xiyue has been targeted by the Japanese. There are likely enemy agents lurking around her. I must stay in the village to protect her safety."
“Okay.” Xu Guoqiang immediately agreed. “Deputy Regiment Commander Chu, I’ll arrange for someone to tidy up the reception room. You can stay there.”
Chu Xun shook his head. "The reception room is too far from the educated youth settlement. If anything happens, I won't be able to find out immediately."
The people behind the mountain won't let this go; they'll definitely send more people to capture Yueyue. He has to protect her closely.
Xu Guoqiang was in a dilemma: "A new batch of educated youth will arrive at the educated youth settlement tomorrow. There will be quite a few of them, and I'm afraid we won't be able to accommodate them all."
“I’ve been to the clinic. There are vacant rooms there. I can stay there,” Chu Xun suggested.
Xu Guoqiang worried, "Although I know that Deputy Commander Chu has a mission, others don't know, and I'm afraid it will affect Li Zhiqing's reputation."
He knew how gossipy those women in the village were; if Li Xiyue and Chu Xun, a single man and woman, were to live together in the clinic, they would probably start talking.
"Yueyue and I are actually dating." Chu Xun knew his worries.
This is why he had to inform Yueyue in advance; if he didn't mention that they were dating, he really couldn't just move into the clinic.
Xu Guoqiang was shocked. "You two are dating? When did this start?"
How come he didn't know anything about it?
Chu Xun said, "Yueyue and I were old acquaintances. I've always liked her, but we only officially became a couple a few days ago."
Xu Guoqiang nodded in satisfaction, "Deputy Regiment Commander Chu and Li Zhiqing are indeed a good match. With such a capable partner as you protecting her, I can rest assured."
"Okay, Deputy Regiment Commander Chu will stay in the observation room of the infirmary for now. I'll talk to the other officers about their accommodations."
The observation room was originally a spare room, and it was fine for Chu Xun to stay there temporarily when there were no patients.
After leaving Xu Guoqiang's house, Chu Xun went up the mountain.
When Li Xiyue took a short nap, she saw a pile of firewood next to the kitchen stove. She was surprised and asked, "Ah Xun, did you go up the mountain to collect firewood?"
“Yes, while I’m free, I’ll gather more firewood so you can have an easier time,” Chu Xun said, patting the dust off his clothes.
Seeing that he was covered in sweat, Li Xiyue quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. "I picked these up while I was gathering herbs on the mountain. It's nothing, I can handle it."
"That won't do. You're my boyfriend. Even if it's a small thing, I can't let you do everything." Chu Xun held her hand as she wiped his sweat. "As long as you like me a little more, that's enough."
"I like you, I like you the most," Li Xiyue coaxed.
Chu Xun felt incredibly satisfied and smiled like he had never before.
Li Xiyue was happy to see that he looked even better when he smiled. "Ah Xun, I like your smile even more."
"Really?" Chu Xun squeezed her hand. "Then I'll smile for you every day."
