A Beauty in the 80s Goes on a Blind Date with Her Child, Captivating the Military Compound - Chapter 4

Shen Sisi said with a serious expression, “Senior, I know you want to help me, but marriage is not a trivial matter, especially a military marriage. Being with someone like me, and with my family background, will affect your career.”

He was a young and promising company commander, so why would he be so muddle-headed as to want to marry a person like her?

Her father was reported on all those years ago, and he never had his name cleared before he died.

And what about her?

She was a young person sent to the countryside, unmarried with a child, and the child was a sickly little thing.

He could close his eyes and pick any woman at random, and she would still be better and more suitable for him.

If he truly married her, it would not only be of no help to Gu Chengfeng’s career, but it would also cause him trouble. His career would end there, or he might even be demoted.

Gu Chengfeng saw her face turn red, her pink lips pursed slightly, and her eyes shimmer with tears. He was anxious but didn’t know how to convince her, so in his urgency, the words just blurted out.

“I can help you get your household registration moved here. You can live in the military compound with me. The military hospital’s medical facilities are also very good, much better than the one in the county. And…”

“That’s enough!” Shen Sisi didn’t dare to continue the conversation. “Let’s stop here, Senior Gu. Let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”

Seeing that she was unmoved, preferring to go on blind dates and marry someone else rather than give him a chance, his eyes turned dark with a strong possessiveness. He clenched his back teeth and let out a low groan from his throat. “I… I was injured…”

“Injured?” Shen Sisi felt her heart skip a beat. She looked him over with concern.

Gu Chengfeng closed his eyes, and his vision went black. He comforted himself: A spiritual wound is also a wound. Nothing wrong with that.

Then, hardening his resolve, the remaining words came out through his teeth. “Don’t ask me for the specifics. In short… I won’t be able to get married and have children. You understand.”

Shen Sisi’s mouth dropped open in a perfect circle. Before she could react, she heard a muffled laugh from behind her.

She turned around and saw a soldier in a similar military uniform. He was half a head shorter than Gu Chengfeng, had a refined face, and was laughing so hard his stomach was hurting.

Sensing a glare from a certain person, Feng Yanzhou controlled the corners of his mouth, but he was laughing like a pig on the inside. “Comrade, I can testify that what he just said is true!”

“You are…” Shen Sisi looked at the man. He had a naturally cheerful face, which gave people a feeling of warm spring breezes.

“This is my comrade-in-arms, Feng Yanzhou. Political Commissar Feng,” Gu Chengfeng glared at him. His face was so red it could be used to brand an iron. “Old Feng, this is the person I told you about, Teacher Shen’s daughter, Shen Sisi, and her daughter, Niu Niu.”

Feng Yanzhou’s eyes lit up. So it was her. She was indeed very beautiful! No wonder Old Gu had been thinking about her for so many years and still wouldn’t give up even though she had a child.

Shen Sisi had no idea about the twists and turns in his mind. She was just surprised that this person was only in his early twenties and was already a political commissar. He was truly a promising young man.

“Political Commissar Feng, please have a seat. Let’s eat together,” Shen Sisi said warmly as she pulled out a chair.

Feng Yanzhou didn’t stand on ceremony. He took off his gloves and looked at Gu Chengfeng, whose face and neck were flushed. The mockery in his eyes was uncontrollable.

Gu Chengfeng was so desperate to get a girl that he was throwing away his dignity. This was the first time he had ever seen this. He was even saying he was sick and couldn’t get a wife. The “Steel Wolf” of the First Wild-field Division, humbling himself to this extent for a woman, was truly an eye-opener.

Gu Chengfeng shot him a glare, his eyes signaling that if he dared to say anything, he was dead!

“Political Commissar Feng, you just said…” Shen Sisi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Ah… I’m not exaggerating. This problem of his really will affect him finding a wife and, even more, his ability to have children,” Feng Yanzhou said as if it were a serious matter.

Shen Sisi suddenly felt an inexplicable pang of heartache. Had Gu Chengfeng been injured on the battlefield?

Her gaze unconsciously shifted downward. This unyielding man, a favorite of heaven, had been injured in such a vital area that he couldn’t get married or have children. He must be very sad about it!

She didn’t look down on him. She just felt sorry for him. The heart in her chest inexplicably ached.

Seeing that Gu Chengfeng was uncomfortable, and Feng Yanzhou was smiling playfully, she immediately dropped her polite demeanor. “Political Commissar Feng, Senior Gu is already like this, and you’re still laughing at him? That’s too much…”

“Ah, this…” Feng Yanzhou was actually intimidated by a little girl.

She was already protecting him?

“As a political commissar, you not only fail to help and counsel him, but you also mock him. Your ideological awareness is problematic!” Shen Sisi was no longer polite to him and didn’t even bother to tell him to eat. She just grabbed a piece of braised pork and placed it in Gu Chengfeng’s bowl.

“Senior, eat more,” she said comfortingly.

The corner of Gu Chengfeng’s mouth twitched slightly, and his heart felt heavy. He had the audacity to ask, “Do you still think we’re not a good match?”

He said it lightly, but his eyes never left Shen Sisi’s face, waiting for her answer.

Shen Sisi was silent. The chopsticks in her hand clattered against the rice. She had even forgotten to feed Niu Niu.

Niu Niu was so hungry that she used her own hand to grab a piece of braised pork and put it into her mouth.

When Feng Yanzhou saw this, he smiled gently at Niu Niu, then beckoned to her. The little girl then climbed into his lap and insisted on him feeding her with a spoon.

Shen Sisi wanted to take the child back, but Feng Yanzhou gently “stole” her.

He had just been lectured by Shen Sisi and was looking for a way to redeem himself. After all, this was his future sister-in-law, and he couldn’t afford to offend her.

He smiled to please her. “I’ll feed her. You two chat, you two chat.”

Feng Yanzhou was a gentle and patient person, and his aura was as soft as water. He was very popular with children.

Seeing that he was feeding the child properly, mixing meat and vegetables, and even making funny faces to cheer Niu Niu up, Shen Sisi let them be.

She turned her head and found that Gu Chengfeng still hadn’t touched his chopsticks. He was as still as a stone statue, waiting for her answer.

“It’s too sudden. This is not a small matter. I… I’ll think about it!”

Gu Chengfeng understood that this was a polite way of rejecting him.

His mood was very low, and an imperceptible darkness appeared in his dark eyes.

“That’s okay, I’ll wait for you.” He knew that Shen Sisi had her concerns, but he, Gu Chengfeng, was not a person who would give up easily.

He had already missed her once and didn’t want to miss her a second time!

Gu Chengfeng didn’t want to be rejected by her again, and he didn’t want to make her feel pressured. So, he picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of translucent pork belly in her bowl.

“Don’t think about it. Let’s eat first… If you figure it out, come find me at my aunt’s house. It’s the same old place.”

“Okay, good,” she said perfunctorily.

After the meal, Shen Sisi was no longer in the mood for a blind date. She held Niu Niu and said goodbye to the two men, planning to go back to her aunt’s house to feed Niu Niu her medicine.

Looking at her slender back, Feng Yanzhou stroked his chin and said, “She’s a beautiful girl, and she has a very generous personality. What a shame…”

Gu Chengfeng looked at her with a determined, predatory gaze. “There’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

Then, his expression darkened. “I just blame myself for coming too late and letting her suffer so much…”

“It’s not your fault. In a place like the desert, a ghost could kill a man. How could we contact the outside world? It’s just tough on our Commander Gu, who would even say he’s sick just to get the girl he wants,” Feng Yanzhou teased.

Gu Chengfeng kicked him, leaving a “beautiful” shoe print on his shiny leather shoes. “The appointment of deputy commander hasn’t been announced yet. Watch your mouth.”

“It’s already a done deal… As an old comrade, I congratulate you on this double blessing. Your luck has turned. You’ll be marrying a wife who comes with a kid…” Feng Yanzhou’s eyes disappeared from his smile as he quickly ran two meters away.

“Are you itching for a beating? You can make fun of me, but you’re not allowed to make fun of her…”

“You’re already protecting her, and you’re not even married yet. You two really are a match made in heaven…”

“Get lost!”
