A Beauty in the 80s Goes on a Blind Date with Her Child, Captivating the Military Compound - Chapter 35

Without waiting for the sentry to report, Gu Chengfeng walked over like the wind.

Shen Sisi looked up just in time to see Gu Chengfeng’s face beaming with joy.

There were many soldiers around, all uniformly dressed in military greatcoats, yet he stood out so prominently in the crowd.

He was extraordinarily handsome, a mischievous smile playing on the corner of his mouth, as he walked closer and closer towards her, moving against the flow of people…

“Sisi!”

He strode forward, his gaze already locked onto her, unable to look away.

“Gu Chengfeng!” Shen Sisi broke into a brilliant smile.

At that moment, Niu Niu let go of her hand and sprinted like she was in a hundred-meter dash, plunging into Gu Chengfeng’s embrace: “Papa…”

Gu Chengfeng’s eyes softened. He put his arms around her and lifted her high above his head.

“Good girl, Niu Niu… Did you miss Papa?”

“Yes, I did!”

He and the child were playing, and Shen Sisi stood by, chuckling softly. This scene astonished the sentry standing nearby.

Did Regiment Commander Gu, who usually glared fiercely at them, actually have two faces?

He looked as if he had witnessed something unbelievable, his mouth hanging open.

After laughing for a while, Shen Sisi quickly took Niu Niu back. “Stop playing, you’re still injured.”

Such large movements of his arm were bad for his wound.

Gu Chengfeng, however, deliberately turned his elbow a few times, acting casual. “It’s almost healed. I’m fine.”

“‘I’m fine, I’m fine,’ you always say you’re fine! Just keep showing off your strength!”

She angrily shoved the lunch box into Gu Chengfeng’s hand. “It’s Yellow Bean Pork Knuckle Soup, stewed just for you. Take a good tonic.”

Gu Chengfeng looked at the tightly wrapped lunch box. It felt as though a spark had ignited in his heart, instantly kindling a wave of heat. Despite the cold weather, his chest felt scorching hot.

“You came all this way just to bring me soup?”

Shen Sisi nodded. “Yes. To nourish the body with similar forms. Eat it while it’s hot.”

Gu Chengfeng felt inwardly delighted, a clear smile crossing his face.

“What about you two?”

Shen Sisi nodded her chin towards the direction of the house. “There’s more in the pot. Niu Niu and I will go back and eat later.”

Hearing that she hadn’t eaten yet but braved the cold wind to bring him food, his smile faltered into seriousness. “Hurry back. In the future, you don’t need to specifically come and bring me food. There’s food at the barracks.”

Shen Sisi’s expression instantly dimmed.

Was he… ashamed of her?

Seeing the rapid change in her expression, Gu Chengfeng knew he had said the wrong thing.

He was a rough man, straightforward and usually not good with words. He always misspoke when flustered.

He hastily explained, “What I meant was, it’s so cold. Try not to go out. Just stay home. You don’t have to make a special trip for me.”

Shen Sisi merely gave an “Oh” in response, her mood clearly deflated.

She had excitedly endured the cold wind to bring him food, only to be met with… sigh!

Forget it!

She smoothed over her hurt feelings and said moodily, “I understand. Hurry back, remember to eat it while it’s hot. I won’t come again.”

She forced a dry smile, hugged Niu Niu, turned, and left in a huff.

Gu Chengfeng watched her go, then took two large steps to catch up.

Shen Sisi was walking back angrily when a voice suddenly called out behind her: “Sisi, wait!”

Gu Chengfeng ran up to her, took off his leather gloves, and then held her hand, gently pinching her fingertips and tucking them into the gloves one by one.

His hands were large, and the gloves were naturally large too. Worn on Shen Sisi’s hands, they looked like two black bear paws, extending quite a bit past her fingers.

Shen Sisi’s frozen fingers were suddenly wrapped in warmth. The body heat emanating from him permeated her skin, and she suddenly felt like it wasn’t so cold anymore.

She looked at Gu Chengfeng, puzzled. Didn’t he find her embarrassing?

Why did he chase after her?

And even give her his own gloves?

Gu Chengfeng lowered his head, gently pinching her finger through the leather of the glove, then reluctantly let go.

“I am very happy that you came, but knowing you are hungry and facing the cold wind, I feel extremely guilty.”

“Your body is weak, and Niu Niu is still ill. Going back and forth like this is too exhausting…”

His low voice was sincere, and Shen Sisi finally understood that he hadn’t been rejecting her; he was worried about them.

Shen Sisi frowned and looked seriously at Gu Chengfeng. “You’ve done so much for me, and I only did one very, very small thing for you. You don’t need to feel guilty.”

Is this a small thing?

Gu Chengfeng pressed his fingers against the lunch box, remaining silent for a long time.

“From childhood, my parents taught me to repay a drop of kindness with a fountain of gratitude. Since you are kind to me, I will naturally be kind to you…”

Gu Chengfeng’s breathing grew heavier.

Is it just to repay kindness? Is there nothing else?

Shen Sisi had no idea what Gu Chengfeng was thinking. Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, she extended her right “bear paw” and lightly patted his arm, smiling heartily. “I’m leaving now. Take good care of your injury.”

Gu Chengfeng struggled to lift his eyelids, secretly clenching his fist.

So what if it’s repayment? One day, something else will definitely grow between them…

Just as Shen Sisi walked away, a jeep drove past him, kicking up dust, then slammed on the brakes and reversed, covering him in a cloud of dirt.

Feng Yanzhou rolled down the window and saw him standing at the gate, staring blankly like a fool. He snapped his fingers. “Big fool.”

Gu Chengfeng almost threw the lunch box at him.

He growled, “Scram!”

Feng Yanzhou wasn’t annoyed. He slyly pulled out a document and shook it boastfully. “Shen Sisi’s paperwork. You don’t want it, fine…”

Hearing the name “Shen Sisi,” Gu Chengfeng reacted as if he’d been given a shot of adrenaline, reaching out to snatch the document, but Feng Yanzhou quickly pulled it back.

“Eager, are we? I specifically won’t give it to you. Let’s see what you can do…”

Gu Chengfeng was so angry he pulled out his belt and cracked it twice. “Feng Yanzhou, are you itching for a beating again!”

Seeing this posture, Feng Yanzhou quickly ordered his driver, “Drive! Drive immediately! Don’t let him catch up—that’s an order!”

A moment later, when Gu Chengfeng rushed into the Commander’s office, Feng Yanzhou had already handed in the documents.

He smiled and patted Gu Chengfeng’s shoulder, holding a stamped political review opinion. “Alright, brother, everything is resolved.”

Gu Chengfeng snatched the paper. On it, in black and white, was stamped a large red official seal: Shen Sisi’s political review had passed!!!

He looked suspiciously at Feng Yanzhou. “What happened? How did you manage it? Let me see the report.”

Feng Yanzhou’s gaze noticeably darted away, and he quickly blocked Gu Chengfeng.

“This man has his own brilliant scheme. In short, the process isn’t important; the result is what matters.”

“You, go ahead and pick a good day, and go register your marriage with your Sisi.

It will save you from staying in the barracks all day like a widower.”

Right after saying this, Feng Yanzhou received a heavy punch that made his chest ache.

“Gu Chengfeng, how dare you hit me? I… I’m going to complain to Sister-in-law!”

“You dare!” Gu Chengfeng glared, successfully silencing him.

Then, looking at the thin yet weighty review opinion in his hand, a faint smile curved his lips, and his heart hammered wildly in his chest.

What day to choose? There’s no time like the present. They will register their marriage tomorrow!
