Chapter 20: Assists

Four hits, six misses.

Therefore, Chu Ning should have gone back.

He felt a strange sense of loss.

But he quickly adjusted his mood.

It was just a strange woman who unexpectedly barged in.

So what if she went back? It’s no big deal!

Fu Yuzhou packed up his guns and returned to the dormitory.

•  

Dormitory.

Wang Fengxian stayed with Chu Ling in Fu Yuzhou’s dormitory, and they stayed with Chu Ning until almost evening.

Fortunately, at dinner time, Wang Fengxian took Chu Ning and Chu Ling to the canteen for dinner.

Wang Fengxian had elderly people to take care of, and she couldn’t stay up late, so she went back first.

Chu Ning was already drowsy.

However, Chu Ling wouldn’t leave, so Chu Ning had to stay with her.

On the other hand, Chu Ling, who was eager to see Fu Yuzhou, was nervous and excited.

She chatted with Wang Fengxian and Chu Ning for a whole day.

The more she learned about Fu Yuzhou, the more she liked him.

Therefore, she couldn’t bear to leave without seeing Fu Yuzhou and getting an answer.

Fu Yuzhou just arrived at the dormitory area.

Guard Xiao Zhu came over to greet him.

“Battalion Commander, you’re finally back! Do you know that your cousin has been with the newly arrived intellectual youth Chu all day? If you don’t come back, I’m afraid they’ll cause gossip.”

Fu Yuzhou frowned at Xiao Zhu’s words.

“My cousin? Fu Chen came?”

Xiao Zhu only learned about Fu Yuzhou’s cousin ‘Fu Chen’ coming at dinner time.

He nodded vigorously in response to Fu Yuzhou’s question.

“Yes, Fu Chen told us that you brought him back last night.”

Xiao Zhu spoke the truth.

Fu Yuzhou was completely baffled.

His cousin Fu Chen was a dissolute and idle young man.

He thought that rural life would be a good opportunity for training.

He wrote a letter to his family, hoping his second uncle would agree to send Fu Chen to the countryside for training.

However, after writing the letter, his second uncle never replied.

But he had already told the people in the militia company about Fu Chen.

Because he often used Fu Chen as a negative example.

Therefore, almost everyone in the militia company knew Fu Chen.

However, he didn’t bring Fu Chen back last night.

How did Fu Chen end up in the militia company?

Suddenly, Fu Yuzhou thought of Chu Ning.

Could it be her…?

Besides surprise, Fu Yuzhou felt more joy.

That woman didn’t go back?

Just now, he used target practice to guess whether Chu Ning would leave, feeling like a fool.

Fu Yuzhou didn’t say anything more and walked towards the dormitory.

“Comrade Fu, when your brother went out, did he say whether he would be back tonight?”

Chu Ling was getting anxious.

She was even worried that if Fu Yuzhou didn’t come back,

she and Fu Yuzhou’s cousin Fu Chen, a single man and a single woman, staying in the dormitory together might cause gossip.

She liked Fu Yuzhou and didn’t want him to misunderstand her.

“He’ll definitely be back. Comrade Chu, you’ve been waiting for him all day, you absolutely can’t give up halfway.”

Chu Ning felt embarrassed to chase Chu Ling away.

She was even more worried that chasing Chu Ling away would anger Fu Yuzhou.

In the morning, she played a trick on Fu Yuzhou.

Helping him stay with the woman he liked could be considered making amends.

“It’s too late, I’m afraid…”

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll leave the door open, it definitely won’t cause gossip. Besides, this is my brother’s dormitory. My brother likes you anyway, even if there is gossip, it’s fine. Don’t worry, he will definitely marry you.”

With that, Chu Ning opened the door.

However, she unexpectedly met Fu Yuzhou’s dark face.

“You… Fu… Comrade Chu, Battalion Commander… my brother is back.”

At the critical moment, Chu Ning still didn’t call out Fu Yuzhou’s name, changing her address.

Fu Yuzhou was furious.

Just now he was relieved that this woman didn’t go back.

But she was here, under the guise of his cousin Fu Chen, acting recklessly?

She even shamelessly told this Comrade Chu that he liked her?

Who did he like?

Even he himself didn’t know, what right did she have to decide for him?

However, before he could speak,

Chu Ling walked over and stood in front of Fu Yuzhou.

“Battalion Commander Fu, you’re back.”

Dark light flickered in Fu Yuzhou’s eyes.

He hated women coming to his dormitory the most.

Unexpectedly, this newly arrived intellectual youth openly waited for him in his dormitory for a whole day.

“Go back.”

Fu Yuzhou ordered the intellectual youth without emotion.

The overly cold tone made Chu Ling a little dazed.

She quickly explained: “Battalion Commander Fu, I came here to thank you. You personally ran more than twenty kilometers to pick me up, I’m really grateful.”

“It was nothing, we can talk tomorrow.”

Chu Ning interjected, “Brother, you’re too cold-blooded. Comrade Chu waited for you for a whole day, how can you let her go back by herself?”

Chu Ning had been hurt in love.

She naturally wanted to give Chu Ling an umbrella.

However, it resulted in even colder words from Fu Yuzhou.

“Then I’ll trouble my good ‘brother’ to send her back.”

Fu Yuzhou said the word ‘brother’ sarcastically.

Chu Ning was sweating profusely.

She knew Fu Yuzhou was still angry.

She didn’t argue with him.

Afraid that Fu Yuzhou would disappoint Chu Ling, she simply pushed Chu Ling out the door, next to Fu Yuzhou, and directly closed the door.

Fu Yuzhou gritted his teeth, “What do you mean?”

Fu Yuzhou wanted to open the door, but Chu Ning had already locked it from the inside.

“Brother, don’t disappoint Comrade Chu, send her back, and I’ll open the door for you.”

The words, taking the initiative, completely disregarded Fu Yuzhou as the owner.

Fu Yuzhou’s temples throbbed with anger.

“Chu… you wait for me.”

Fu Yuzhou didn’t want to send Chu Ling back.

Mistaking Comrade Chu for Chu Ning, running more than twenty kilometers to pick her up, being misunderstood about their relationship, was embarrassing enough!

Now if he personally sent her back,

tomorrow it might confirm his relationship with Chu Ling.

Fu Yuzhou didn’t want his relationship with Chu Zhiqing to go into a vicious cycle, so he had to call deputy captain Chen Mo to send Chu Zhiqing back.

Chen Mo had been training the soldiers intensely all day, thinking that Fu Yuzhou had called him over to arrange night training again.

As a result, when he stood in front of Fu Yuzhou, he didn’t dare to breathe.

Fu Yuzhou said in a deep voice: “Send Comrade Chu back to the intellectual youth point for me.”

Chen Mo was dumbfounded, “I send her back?”

“Unwilling?”

Chen Mo was flattered, “It’s not that I’m unwilling, it’s just a little unbelievable.”

The woman Fu Yuzhou liked should be escorted by himself.

How could he be the one to protect her?

“Don’t waste words, send her back.”

“Okay.”

Chen Mo looked at Chu Ling and said, “Comrade Chu, please.”

Hearing this, Chu Ling, unable to understand Fu Yuzhou’s emotions, could only leave with Chen Mo.

Almost the moment they left,

Fu Yuzhou slammed on the dormitory door.

“Open the door.”

Fu Yuzhou gritted his teeth, vowing to deal with Chu Ning tonight.
