A Beauty in the 80s Goes on a Blind Date with Her Child, Captivating the Military Compound - Chapter 6

Gu Chengfeng’s heart was a little clogged, like the suffocation of lying in the mud on a hot day, a deep sense of powerlessness.

“Not now…” he muttered to himself, thinking: That doesn’t mean it won’t be in the future.

“What did you say?” Shen Sisi asked.

He quickly swallowed his saliva. “Nothing, it’s not important.”

Seeing the little woman in front of him on the verge of tears from anxiety, he temporarily suppressed his frustration.

“About the medicine, I’ll figure something out…”

He gave Feng Yanzhou a look, signaling him to take good care of Shen Sisi and her daughter, then turned and left in a hurry, leaving Shen Sisi with a bewildered expression.

Figure something out? What could he figure out?

Seeing her distracted, Feng Yanzhou, with his keen perceptiveness, took Niu Niu from her and held her carefully.

“Don’t worry. As soon as Commander Gu gets involved, he’ll definitely make the medicine appear for you.” Feng Yanzhou chuckled, not at all worried about Gu Chengfeng’s “ability.”

Shen Sisi felt even more incredulous. Was Gu Chengfeng really that capable?

Was he abusing his power?

That was against military discipline!

Feng Yanzhou guessed her thoughts. “Don’t worry. Commander Gu would never abuse his power for personal gain…”

“I don’t want to make things difficult for him…” Shen Sisi stood up, about to chase after him. She had already decided that if she couldn’t get the medicine, she would figure out a way to take Niu Niu to the provincial capital to buy it.

Feng Yanzhou, like an old fox, blinked. “As long as it’s for you, our Commander Gu won’t feel it’s difficult at all…”

Shen Sisi’s eyes twitched as she glared at Feng Yanzhou. Was this really a political commissar? He was not acting proper at all.

“Political Commissar Feng, don’t talk nonsense.” It wasn’t that she cared, but she was afraid others would misunderstand Senior Gu.

She didn’t want to continue the conversation. Seeing them at the hospital, she was afraid something had happened.

She asked with concern, “Why are you two at the hospital? Did something happen?”

“Nothing…” Feng Yanzhou’s eyes darted around, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face. “Oh, what the heck, it’s fine to tell you. We’re all on the same team. I’m here to accompany your Senior Gu for a check-up.”

“What’s wrong with Senior Gu?” Shen Sisi asked.

Feng Yanzhou’s face fell, and his smile gradually disappeared. He sighed with a difficult expression. “The same old thing. You know.”

Shen Sisi’s bright eyes also dimmed. It seemed that Gu Chengfeng’s injury was very difficult to heal.

But it didn’t matter. Not being able to heal now didn’t mean he couldn’t heal in the future. Good fortune favors the virtuous. As long as Senior Gu didn’t give up, there would be a day when he would recover.

“How about you do a good deed, Comrade Shen, and agree to his proposal? Otherwise, he might never be able to find a wife in this lifetime,” Feng Yanzhou pleaded with a sigh.

Shen Sisi was also seriously considering the issue, but she was afraid that if Gu Chengfeng ever recovered, she would have prevented him from marrying and having children.

Just as she was thinking, a sound of footsteps came from far away. Gu Chengfeng strode into the emergency room.

“It’s an emergency. The hospital is getting two bottles of medicine from the neighboring city. It will be here tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest. I’ll bring it to you when it arrives.”

Shen Sisi was shocked. It took her a moment to react. “You can do that? How did you do it?”

Gu Chengfeng was silent for a moment, his eyes dark. “The hospital director has a benevolent heart. He arranged it for you. This medicine is indeed very scarce, so we could only get two bottles. When I go back, I’ll keep an eye on it for you and help you buy more.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yanzhou shot him a look that said, “I know what you’re doing, but I won’t expose you.”

The county hospital can get the city hospital to send two bottles of medicine just for her?

Shen Sisi didn’t notice the exchange of glances between the two men. She just felt a wave of relief and thanked him profusely.

“I didn’t know you knew the director and that you’d be willing to help me buy medicine. Senior Gu, thank you!”

It was so unfair that such a capable and kind-hearted man couldn’t find a wife.

Shen Sisi looked up at him with sympathy.

Gu Chengfeng had no idea what Shen Sisi was thinking. Her strange gaze made him feel awkward.

He glanced to the side and saw Feng Yanzhou’s amused face. He turned his head in confusion. What was that guy up to now?

Feeling the banknotes in his hand, he suddenly remembered. He had asked the director about Niu Niu’s condition earlier.

Tuberculosis was not easy to treat and was very expensive.

Shen Sisi had been in the countryside all these years, spending most of her time taking care of the child. She must not have had much time to earn work points. And Niu Niu’s good-for-nothing father was irresponsible, so she must be very short on money.

Gu Chengfeng took about a hundred yuan from his pocket and put it in her hand. “Take this. Consider it a gift from me to Niu Niu.”

He had come in a hurry this time and didn’t have much money on him.

“This is too much. I can’t take it!” Shen Sisi quickly refused.

By now, he had already helped her twice. She couldn’t take his money on top of that.

During the back-and-forth, her fingers accidentally touched his rough hand. His clearly defined fingers were surprisingly strong, and he held her little hand so tightly that she couldn’t pull away.

Gu Chengfeng’s body stiffened. He felt the delicate hand covering his palm. It was so soft and smooth, so boneless that he didn’t dare use any force, afraid he would crush her hand.

The close contact between their skin caused a subtle, tingling sensation that made his heart flutter.

Shen Sisi was also a little dazed. Being held tightly by his rough hand, the calluses from his shooting practice scraped against her delicate skin. A strange and peculiar feeling appeared in her mind.

She held her breath, trying to calm her racing heart.

After a while, Gu Chengfeng let go of her hand. He awkwardly clenched his own hand, as if to preserve the warmth of hers.

“Don’t refuse. It’s just a little something from me to Niu Niu,” Gu Chengfeng’s tongue felt a little twisted. His slightly tanned skin flushed red.

Shen Sisi’s cheeks also felt warm. She didn’t dare to look directly into Gu Chengfeng’s eyes.

“I know you want to help me. I’ll… consider this a loan, and I’ll pay you back when I find a way to make money in the city.”

Over the years, to take care of Niu Niu, she had rarely worked. There were also not many opportunities to earn money in the countryside.

She had been secretly selling things on the black market to save money for Niu Niu’s medicine.

She was indeed… short on cash!

He knew she was a proud girl and said nothing more.

However, it was good that she had accepted the money.

“Sisi, please think about what I said. My train leaves tomorrow afternoon at three-thirty. I’ll be waiting for you…”

Gu Chengfeng’s eyes were firm and sincere, containing an unbreakable force.

Shen Sisi knew his personality and that he was serious this time.

If she missed Gu Chengfeng, she might never meet such a good person again in her life.

Even without love, it would be good for them to get what they needed and live a good life together.

She thought about it and took a deep breath. “Senior Gu, I…”

Gu Chengfeng interrupted her coldly. “Don’t rush to reject me. You have one more night to think about it.”

He secretly clenched his fist. Even if she rejected him this time, he wouldn’t give up.

Shen Sisi saw how disappointed he was and suddenly smiled. “What are you thinking? I mean, you don’t have to wait until tomorrow. I can answer you now.”

“Gu Chengfeng, I do.”

“What?” He was dumbfounded and stared at her quietly for a long time.

His expression instantly changed from gloomy to soft. The cold, fierce look under his sword-like brows disappeared, replaced by the brilliant light of starlight.

She had agreed!

She had actually agreed to marry him without hesitation!

Whether she was serious or just being impulsive, she had agreed, and that was that.

From now on, Shen Sisi could no longer go on blind dates with other men!

Gu Chengfeng lowered his eyes, his heart beating like a drum. “Shen Sisi, in front of Political Commissar Feng, you can’t go back on your word!”

Feng Yanzhou was smiling so hard his eyes were closed. “That’s right. I heard it with both my ears. I’ve received the report on this engagement!”

Shen Sisi was both shy and amused by the two of them, but she still responded candidly and generously. “A military marriage, no regrets! However…”
