“Willing, of course willing!” The surprise came a little too suddenly. Sheng Ze Xi, having reacted, had a big smile on his lips. Afraid that Gu Jia Ning would see, he quickly suppressed the curve of his lips, got up, paced back and forth in the room for a while before sitting down.
“I'm so good, and I'm an officer. Everyone can see that I should be chosen. You finally got your eyes right this time.”
Gu Jia Ning: This man is good, but his mouth is really too mean.
Sheng Ze Xi continued to feed her until Gu Jia Ning ate all the Sweet Wine Poached Eggs.
I don't know whether it was because of the painkiller or the Sweet Wine Poached Eggs, but now Gu Jia Ning's stomach doesn't hurt anymore, and her complexion isn't so pale.
“I'm leaving. Wait for me tomorrow.” He came secretly, he wasn't staying long.
With a rough big hand, he gently touched Gu Jia Ning's hair, who was already lying down. Sheng Ze Xi left as quietly as he had come, jumping out the window.
Gu Jia Ning looked at the window that had been closed again, before finally withdrawing her gaze after a long time.
Sheng Ze Xi didn't leave immediately. He looked towards the Intellectual Youth Point, his eyes deep.
By evening, when everyone finished work, Wen Zhuqing, limping his way back to the Intellectual Youth Point, his handsome face was full of gloom.
At noon, he was beaten up. A sack fell from the sky, and before he could resist, punches and kicks rained down. By the time he broke free from the sack, there was no one around.
Who would beat him up?
Thinking about Gu Jia Ning jumping into the river today, and the Gu Family's personality, Wen Zhuqing locked onto one person: Gu Yunzhou, the Gu Family's bad-tempered, strong-fisted, and protective Third Brother!
His hand touched the corner of his eye, a stinging pain came, Wen Zhuqing gasped, his eyes narrowed slightly. Once he got Gu Yunting's job, he wouldn't let Gu Yunzhou off!
Pondering Gu Jia Ning's jumping into the river today, he thought she might come to see him the day after tomorrow to give him the job. Unknowingly, he arrived at a remote place, where he was alone. For some reason, Wen Zhuqing suddenly had a bad premonition. His premonition proved correct; in an instant, another sack fell from the sky, and he was beaten up again.
He didn't know how long it lasted, the beating stopped, and he didn't hear any movement, but the person seemed to have left.
After struggling for a long time, he broke free from the sack and breathed in the fresh air. Wen Zhuqing felt like he had finally come back to life.
His handsome face was now swollen and bruised, like a pig's head, completely unrecognizable from his previous appearance.
Wen Zhuqing was absolutely certain that the person was jealous of his good looks. Those fists, one by one, were aimed almost entirely at his face.
After resting for a while, Wen Zhuqing used a tree to support himself and managed to stand up. His body and face ached all over.
His face was gloomy, and his eyes were sinister.
Who was it this time?
He was certain it wasn't Gu Yunzhou. Then who could it be? Was it someone else from the Gu Family, or someone from the Intellectual Youth Point jealous of him?
Wen Zhuqing wasn't even sure whether the person was a man or a woman. There were no footsteps, and they didn't make a sound.
Don't let him find out who it is, otherwise...
Wen Zhuqing struggled back to the Intellectual Youth Point. The people there gasped at his terrible condition.
When others asked, he simply said that he had accidentally fallen and hurt himself. Then he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Gu Yunzhou.
There were quite a few female Intellectual Youths in the point who liked Wen Zhuqing, and they were immediately indignant.
“It must be that Gu Family Third Brother, taking out his anger about Gu Jia Ning jumping into the river on you,” Zhao Weihong guessed, clenching her fists, her face tight.
“It's clearly Gu Jia Ning who keeps pestering you, making your life miserable. She did it herself, jumping into the river, and the villagers blamed Wen Zhiqing. How could Wen Zhiqing possibly force Gu Jia Ning to ask for the Eldest Brother Gu's job?”
In Zhao Weihong's heart, Wen Zhuqing was gentle and refined, handsome, with a gentle and considerate personality. He was also from Shanghai, with a good family background, a perfect husband material.
Even Zhao Weihong, who looked like a man and had a rough voice, fell for him after Wen Zhuqing gave her a steamed bun once, and since then, she has protected him.
Whether in the Intellectual Youth Point or Huaihua Village, countless women liked Wen Zhuqing.
But Wen Zhuqing said: He came to the countryside to build a new rural area, and he didn't want to date or get married so soon.
Zhao Weihong thought that Wen Zhuqing was not only good-looking and kind, but also had a high level of political consciousness, which made her like him even more.
Among those who liked Wen Zhuqing, she hated Gu Jia Ning the most.
She always relied on her father being the Village Chief to pester Wen Zhuqing at the Intellectual Youth Point. Wen Zhuqing was just too kind; he didn't know how to refuse, afraid of hurting people, so Gu Jia Ning became more and more demanding.
She was afraid that Wen Zhuqing would end up with Gu Jia Ning because of the pressure of public opinion.
Li Juan, with two pigtails and a pretty face, came in with a basin of water. “Wen Zhiqing, wipe yourself with this water, wash your face, and then put on some medicine.”
Seemingly hearing Zhao Weihong's indignation just now, she said, “We Intellectual Youths are weak in the village and can't resist those villagers. Whatever they say is what it is. We can only bear the suffering.”
Casually, she mentioned another matter, “By the way, I heard something. It seems a matchmaker came to Huaihua Village today, saying that someone is arranging a blind date for Gu Jia Ning, and she agreed.”
Wen Zhuqing, leaning against the bed, his eyes flashed, his brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed.
It must be false.
Wen Zhuqing knew how Gu Jia Ning had her heart set on him. She even jumped into the river for him today, just to get the job to please him and date him. How could she turn around and agree to a blind date with someone else?
The female Intellectual Youths didn't dare to go to the Gu Family to settle the score for Wen Zhuqing being beaten. Secretly, they each had their own little thoughts: Wen Zhiqing was incapacitated recently, it was their time to shine! They had to take good care of him, leave a good impression, and get closer to him.

Sheng Ze Xi drove back to the hotel in town from Huaihua Village in the evening.
Lying in bed, hands behind his head, his tall figure almost filled the two-meter-long bed. His long legs were casually crossed, lazy and relaxed. He turned his head and looked at the bag of gifts he had prepared early on the cabinet. Recalling his time with Gu Jia Ning during the day, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, his phoenix eyes shining brightly.
As if thinking of something, Sheng Ze Xi's eyebrows that had just relaxed lowered again.
He could see that Gu Jia Ning truly liked that Wen Zhiqing before.
But now, she has changed her mind and is willing to give him a try.
“Wen Zhuqing, Good Cop!” Sheng Ze Xi muttered, gnashing his teeth. Jealousy spread like thorns, the sharp barbs pricking his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Sheng Ze Xi calmed down a bit.
He knew Gu Jia Ning didn't like him that much, or rather, she only had a good impression of him.
But, it didn't matter.
The only thing he had to do now was to seize the opportunity of the blind date, get Gu Jia Ning to marry him early, take her with him to the army, and firmly tie her to his side.
Once she's his, he had absolute confidence that one day, he would take root in that silly girl's heart, grow into a towering tree, and kick that Wen Zhuqing, or whatever his name is, out.
Ha, someone who could incite that silly girl to jump into the river in the middle of winter to get a job couldn't be a good person. Beating him up today was just collecting interest.
It's just…
He needed to tell her about his physical condition tomorrow. He wondered what the little girl and the Gu Family would think, and whether they would reject him?
