Lin Nian rolled her eyes and didn’t say a word.
She was still angry with Gu Zeyun and didn’t want to pay attention to him now, so she just silently took his cloth strips and helped him bandage.
She didn’t chew many herbs, and they slipped a little when applied to the skin, so Lin Nian smoothed them out little by little with her hands.
Then, she herself was a little disgusted, so she wiped her fingers on the cloth strips, euphemistically saying that she wasn’t wasting the herbs.
After this part was taken care of, she went to get new medicine.
This time, Lin Nian learned to be smart and found a cleaner stone nearby to crush it little by little.
Although it wasted a little bit of juice, it was better than making herself suffer.
After she had done everything, she was a little proud again.
Gu Zeyun always touted himself as a genius, but he was still just a fool, insisting on chewing these bitter herbs?
Look how smart she was!
She patted Gu Zeyun on the shoulder, told him to put his clothes back on, and her eyes uncontrollably glanced down.
She was busy looking at his back just now, and only now did she realize that he actually had eight-pack abs.
Even grandpa’s lover was pink.
It was a pity, they were just getting married for show, so no matter how good his figure was, it had nothing to do with her.
Lin Nian quickly adjusted her mentality, and when she turned her head, she saw that Gu Zeyun’s back was bulging, and she fell silent again.
She seemed…
To have made it a little ugly.
She hesitated for a moment, feeling too embarrassed to let Gu Zeyun leave like this, and finally sighed.
“Wait for the medicine to be absorbed, and then I’ll untie the cloth strips for you, and you can go back.”
After saying that, she suddenly remembered something and asked.
“He made such a scene, can you still get the marriage report approved now?”
“They’ll probably think I’m a very bad woman, right.”
Gu Zeyun also fell silent.
He didn’t want to deceive Lin Nian.
This time, she was the one who allowed him to break through his psychological barriers, start trying to communicate with that group of stubborn old men, and speak his mind.
Even though she didn’t do anything.
Just thinking about her, some of the troubles that he used to care about so much, that almost drove him crazy, didn’t seem so serious anymore.
The effect was pretty good.
Whether it was Uncle Yang or the stubborn old man at home, they were all shocked by his heartfelt words this time, and they rarely praised him once.
But it was difficult for him to say what others were thinking.
Probably… maybe… possibly…
It still wasn’t a good impression.
But, he was there.
Gu Zeyun thought for a moment and asked her in return.
“Are you afraid?”
He had actually thought it through.
With his rank, he could apply for an independent small courtyard. After Lin Nian joined the military, she would only need to interact with the military wives every day.
If she didn’t want to go out, he could buy food from the cafeteria and bring it back. Anyway, no matter what she thought, he could handle it.
Anyway… he could apply for a transfer order later.
At least, he had to settle Lin Nian down first.
But he also knew very well that Lin Nian might not want to choose this path.
She rented a house and specially greeted that middle-aged man that day, she definitely wanted to do business.
He did believe in Lin Nian’s skills and that she would definitely achieve something.
He was just afraid that someone would cause trouble for Lin Nian when he wasn’t around.
Gu Zeyun regretted it for the first time in his life.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have gone against his family.
In order not to make them happy, he had been a thorn in their side all these years. They said east, he went west. They planned for him to be promoted, and he dared to give himself a demerit.
As a result, after so many years, even though he had successfully completed several secret missions, he was still stuck in the position of company commander.
His cousin, who had returned to Beijing earlier, had already been promoted to battalion commander.
People were always nagging in his ear, saying that if he hadn’t deliberately suppressed himself, he would probably be a deputy regiment commander by now.
But at that time, he didn’t like to hear such words at all.
Gu Zeyun didn’t like the twists and turns above, he was smart enough to deal with them, but he always found it troublesome.
What’s more…
Some things, someone has to do them.
Everyone thinks about getting promoted, everyone wants to move up.
Then what about the front lines? What about the most important thing, defending the country?
Who should do these things?
The Beijing Research Institute, without Gu Zeyun, there will still be Chen Zeyun, Lu Zeyun.
But one more of him on the battlefield can save the lives of many more compatriots.
They weren’t the same kind of people, so why say more.
Gu Zeyun smiled.
He only occasionally thought about it, joking to himself that if he stood high enough, just a word from him could make the entire Nancheng treat Lin Nian like a guest of honor, and no one would dare to neglect her.
But when he calmed down, he was still him.
He turned his head, looked at Lin Nian’s profile, and couldn’t help but think in his heart…
Did she really understand him?
When they were on the blind date, she said she understood her and admired his desire to be transferred to the border, was it sincere or just polite?
He wanted to know, but he couldn’t ask.
So he could only stare nervously at Lin Nian, waiting for her answer.
Lin Nian felt it.
She sighed and said softly.
“I’m afraid, but I have things I’m even more afraid of.”
“Compared to that, I believe I can solve these things.”
After saying that, she smiled again.
“Besides, isn’t there you?”
Yes.
Wasn’t there him?
Gu Zeyun was infected by her smile and laughed along with her.
When he came to his senses, he heard his own voice asking.
“Lin Nian, why are you so good to me?”
The Shen family.
Shen Chengye entered the house and could no longer control the anger in his heart. He picked up the porcelain bowl on the table and smashed it hard towards the door.
“Why! Why did you want to hurt me!”
The widow Liu, who was following behind him, trembled all over.
Fragments of the porcelain bowl and the thin porridge inside splashed everywhere, along with a foul-smelling odor.
She opened her mouth, feeling a little wronged.
“Lin Nian told me to say that!”
“You heard it at the time… If I didn’t admit it, how would I be able to face anyone in the future?”
“Brother Shen, you know, I can give up this reputation, but Xiao Jun can’t!”
“If the reputation of having an affair is confirmed, how will Xiao Jun be able to face anyone?”
“If his father knew in the afterlife, he would blame me!”
In the past, as long as Liu Yun mentioned her deceased husband, Shen Chengye would always give in.
But now, he was even more angry, and his hard-won calm mood became irritable again.
“You still have the nerve to mention his father?”
“Does he know that you’re using the child as an excuse? Does he know that you’re forcing his comrade to marry you?”
“Liu Yun, you bitch! When you sleep at night, aren’t you afraid that he’ll come looking for you!”
This time, the widow Liu was completely stunned.
In her impression, Shen Chengye was different from the mud-legged people in the village.
The men in the village had yellow teeth, and when they saw women, they would gather together and say dirty words that she couldn’t understand.
They would even take advantage of her and Xiao Jun being orphans and widows, deliberately taking verbal liberties.
Only Shen Chengye was different. The army had strict discipline, his clothes were always neat and tidy, his posture was upright, and he always called her comrade when he spoke to her.
She was fascinated by this politeness.
But what about now?
Shen Chengye was calling her a bitch!
The widow Liu widened her eyes and retorted in disbelief!
