Chapter 16: Unbearable to Look At

Fu Yuzhou was relentless, “Three thousand words isn’t enough? Then make it nine thousand.”

He didn’t believe he couldn’t handle these young soldiers.

Chen Mo knew Fu Yuzhou’s temper.

Naturally, he didn’t dare to continue defying him.

“Fine, we’ll write. Three thousand words of self-criticism, three thousand words.”

Chen Mo gritted his teeth and accepted Fu Yuzhou’s punishment.

At the same time, he had a little trick up his sleeve.

Three thousand words of self-criticism—these uncultured soldiers couldn’t write that.

But someone could.

For example, Chu Ling, the educated youth personally brought back by Fu Yuzhou.

•  

In the dormitory.

Chu Ling used Fu Yuzhou’s bedsheet as fabric.

With her skillful hands, the designer crafted a military green dress.

This time, it didn’t reveal her shoulders, and the length was sufficient, extending to her ankles. The only drawback was that she couldn’t find a needle and thread, so the dress was a bit tight.

And she had only worn a slip dress, without any underwear underneath. Although the military green was dark and opaque,

the fabric was so close to her chest that it almost imprinted its outline, especially a certain point, which was too obvious.

Helplessly, Chu Ling used leftover scraps of cloth to make flowers, one on each side. Although it looked a bit tacky, the effect was good.

Chu Ling had never tried this style before. Suddenly, she thought that if refined, this style was quite good.

Suddenly, Fu Yuzhou entered, carrying a lunchbox with two cornbread buns on his chopsticks.

Chu Ling was admiring her handiwork in the bathroom mirror. Upon seeing Fu Yuzhou, she instinctively composed herself.

After last night’s unspeakable events with Fu Yuzhou, seeing him again made her face burn.

“Come eat.”

Fu Yuzhou’s emotionless voice suddenly rang out.

Chu Ling had been wondering how to speak to Fu Yuzhou.

Hearing this, she boldly walked out.

On his way, Fu Yuzhou had been uneasy, afraid that Chu Ling would disappear again.

Passing the guard post, he specifically asked, and no one had entered or left, so his heart finally settled.

Now, seeing the woman standing before him, he secretly rejoiced.

He had taken all his clothes, thinking she was still wearing her nightgown. Seeing the dress she was wearing, he felt the color was familiar.

“Your dress…”

“I just made it.”

Chu Ling was a little smug.

She looked at Fu Yuzhou with her arms crossed, using her chin to point to the bedsheet she had ravaged.

“Chu Ling, how could you?”

Fu Yuzhou casually threw the lunchbox and buns on the desk and picked up the remnants of the bedsheet.

“You crazy woman!”

Fu Yuzhou gritted his teeth in anger, his dark eyes fixed on Chu Ling’s face, as if he wanted to gouge her out with his gaze.

Chu Ling didn’t care, “You deliberately took all your clothes. I had no clothes to wear, so I had to make some. Was I supposed to go out in my nightgown?”

“You know that was my clothing.”

Fu Yuzhou threw away the fabric, strode towards Chu Ling, his natural aura of authority putting invisible pressure on her.

Especially his unfathomable gaze, like thick ink, carried a dangerous aggression.

Chu Ling backed away in fright, “What do you want? Fu Yuzhou, this is the militia camp, and your soldiers are outside.”

“Tell me, where are you really from?”

Fu Yuzhou felt he was about to be driven mad by this woman. He thought he could control her, but she was uncontrollable.

“I told you, I’m from the future.”

Chu Ling, backed against the bed, accidentally fell onto it.

“The future? Chu Ling, I’m not a three-year-old child, don’t try to trick me.”

Knowing Chu Ling had nowhere to retreat, Fu Yuzhou still pressed closer. With no escape, Chu Ling pressed her hands against Fu Yuzhou’s body.

“I’m not tricking you, I really come from the year 2024.”

2024?

48 years from now?

Fu Yuzhou was incredulous.

He sneered, “Nonsense. If you’re really from 2024, I’d be your grandfather.”

Fu Yuzhou didn’t believe it. He was clearly 26, and Chu Ling looked about 20. Although her clothes were strange,

their age difference wasn’t that big, not as absurd as she claimed.

“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, I really come from 2024. Look at my clothes, they’re completely different from what you wear here.”

Chu Ling’s words, her confident posture, seemed to emphasize her curves.

The flowers covering her sensitive area, hastily made, fell off, revealing her beautiful curves to Fu Yuzhou.

Last night, Fu Yuzhou had seen Chu Ling’s body, and he remembered its outline.

Now, even wrapped in fabric, the outline was still clearly visible.

He swallowed hard, took off his training uniform, and threw it on Chu Ling.

“What kind of ridiculous clothes are these? It’s unbearable to look at. Take it off, take it off immediately.”

Chu Ling shivered, quickly wrapping Fu Yuzhou’s training uniform around her body, “I won’t. This is a dress I painstakingly made. If I take it off, I’ll be naked.”

Fu Yuzhou was standing with his back to her, so Chu Ling couldn’t see his face, but his ears were red.

“Could it be that Camp Commander Fu wants to see?”

Fu Yuzhou knew what Chu Ling meant, “You’re so shameless. I brought you food, put on your clothes and eat quickly.”

Leaving that sentence, Fu Yuzhou left without looking back.

Chu Ling hurriedly said, “Where are you going? Fu Yuzhou, don’t keep me locked in your dormitory. I need sunshine.”

Chu Ling really didn’t want to stay in the room.

From yesterday until now, she hadn’t gone out, and she had discovered that there was a guard outside,

constantly watching Fu Yuzhou’s dormitory, essentially monitoring her.

Chu Ling knew she couldn’t go back for now. Before finding a way back, she wanted to live normally.

She also wanted to see the old times of 1976.

“Stay put until I come back.”

Fu Yuzhou didn’t answer Chu Ling, only giving a cold warning.

“Cold-blooded, heartless.”

Chu Ling cursed angrily.

But when she opened the lunchbox, she changed her mind.

There was cabbage, vermicelli, meat, and a peeled egg, along with two cornbread buns. The food seemed quite good.

What she didn’t know was that Fu Yuzhou had specially requested the commune chief to add to the meal.

Before Chu Ling arrived, they hadn’t seen meat in half a month.
