Chapter 30: Exquisite Beauty

Finally, Fu Yuzhou suppressed all his impulses and rushed into the bathroom.

He picked up the dipper from the bucket, scooped out the icy water, and poured it over himself.

Chu Ning, standing in place, only realized what Fu Yuzhou meant after hearing his words. She thought of her neckline.

Heavens!

No wonder Fu Yuzhou scolded her.

The spring scenery of her chest, half-hidden and half-revealed, even she herself found it alluring.

Chu Ning’s face flushed crimson.

Parched, she picked up the water cup on the table and drank.

After finishing, she realized the water in the cup was the one Fu Yuzhou had just drunk from.

Uh…

Chu Ning didn’t know what to say.

When Fu Yuzhou came out of the shower, an hour had passed.

Chu Ning sat quietly at her desk, reading a collection of works by great men.

She had a sweet appearance, very suitable for Chinese-style clothing. Her hair was casually fastened with a feather clip, with a few strands of loose hair playfully framing her face.

The window was open, and the midday sun shone on her face.

The whole person seemed to be bathed in a halo, as if she had stepped out of a painting, exquisitely beautiful.

Fu Yuzhou was captivated, completely forgetting their argument.

But he quickly came to his senses.

Because he knew Chu Ning had a fiancé and someone she liked.

Although he wasn’t married, he didn’t have a penchant for stealing someone else’s partner.

“Ahem.”

Fu Yuzhou didn’t know how to speak, so he cleared his throat.

Chu Ning looked back at Fu Yuzhou, perhaps having seen the sight of the handsome man emerging from the bath. Seeing Fu Yuzhou with wet hair, she couldn’t help but recall his incredibly attractive physique.

To avoid embarrassment, Chu Ning proactively reminded Fu Yuzhou, “The lunch bell has rung; aren’t you going to eat?”

Having lived here for a few days, Chu Ning knew that in the old days, they used a big pot for meals, and the three meals were announced by a bell.

Fu Yuzhou was also a little embarrassed facing Chu Ning, “I know, I’ll just drink some water and go.”

Fu Yuzhou instinctively reached for the water cup, only to realize that the water he had been drinking was gone.

Immediately, his gaze turned to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning was also a little embarrassed, “I was thirsty, so I drank it.”

Fu Yuzhou frowned. She actually drank from his cup?

Unintentionally, Fu Yuzhou saw the faint red lip print left on the water cup where Chu Ning had drunk.

He inexplicably found the rosy lip print on the rim of the cup small and pretty.

It was as if the lips he had tasted, emitting a fragrant aroma, constantly tempting his mind.

Chu Ning also saw the lip print on the cup. Seeing Fu Yuzhou’s dazed look, she deliberately asked, “Commander Fu, do you like my lipstick shade?”

“Ahem.”

Fu Yuzhou was immediately choked by his own saliva.

“Nonsense, why would I like your lipstick shade?”

However, a voice in his heart curiously said:

Lipstick shades?

His mother seemed to only use one color.

And it seemed different from Chu Ning’s.

His mother was very old-fashioned; the color wasn’t as pretty as Chu Ning’s.

Chu Ning, as a woman, knew the importance of lipstick to a woman.

Sometimes, it could even change a woman’s appearance.

“Battalion Commander Fu, don’t be embarrassed, it’s normal to like it.

The Chu Comrade you like is very attractive; with my lipstick shade, she’ll definitely be even more beautiful.

In return for my several visits, next time you come, bring her a few tubes.”

Fu Yuzhou had just resolved the misunderstanding between him and Comrade Chu, but Chu Ning brought it up again.

Suddenly, his stern and resolute face darkened.

He didn’t bother to explain to Chu Ning.

Glaring at her, he impatiently said, “I don’t like your lipstick shade, don’t meddle in my business. It’s none of your concern.”

A woman with a fiancé.

She should mind her own business.

What right did she have to meddle in his affairs?

He coldly warned Chu Ning, “You’ve rested half a day. Before I come back, you better leave.”

The matter with Fu Chen had finally quieted down. If someone discovered Chu Ning was still here, the militia company would be in an uproar.

Fu Yuzhou left these words and slammed the door.

Chu Ning, standing there, made a face at Fu Yuzhou’s back.

She said defiantly, “I won’t.”

•  

On the way to the canteen.

Fu Yuzhou thought of Chu Ning’s shameless behavior and muttered angrily,

“Damn woman, so elusive, coming and going as she pleases.

What does she think my dormitory is? What does she think of me, Fu Yuzhou?

I’m a grown man, yet she keeps challenging my limits.

Chu Ning, Chu Ning, if you don’t leave before I come back, I guarantee, I guarantee I’ll kill you.”

The words ground out from between his teeth carried a chilling hatred.

It showed how angry Fu Yuzhou was.

But it was all overheard by Chen Guihua, who was hiding behind a haystack.

Chen Guihua’s mind was instantly blown.

Chu Ning?

Comrade Chu was actually in Fu Yuzhou’s dormitory?

No wonder she didn’t see Comrade Chu in the canteen when she was serving Fu Yuzhou’s food.

She heard that Fu Yuzhou had been overtraining recently and had pulled a muscle. Not seeing Fu Yuzhou in the canteen, she specially asked the chef to prepare a meal and brought it to Fu Yuzhou.

When she arrived at the militia company’s dormitory area, she chickened out, wanting to prepare her lines before going in to see Fu Yuzhou.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yuzhou came out unexpectedly, scaring her into hiding.

She didn’t expect to overhear these secrets!

Chen Guihua liked Fu Yuzhou and had pursued him for a long time without a response. But she heard that Fu Yuzhou liked Comrade Chu.

Wang Fengxian personally told her that Fu Yuzhou liked Comrade Chu and ran 20 kilometers to personally pick her up.

The man she couldn’t get, why could the newcomer, Chu Ning, get him?

Chen Guihua had long been dissatisfied with Chu Ning, but for Fu Yuzhou’s sake, she had never dared to deal with her.

But that didn’t mean she would let Chu Ning off.

The countryside was now cracking down on work style issues. As a newly arrived educated youth, Chu Ning already had problems.

Now she’s involved in a scandal, if she’s caught red-handed, she’ll never be able to turn things around.

Then, what qualifications would she have to compete with her for a man?

Chen Guihua became increasingly excited. After Fu Yuzhou left, she ran to find her father, Chen Rulai.

•  

Hongguang Brigade Commune Canteen.

Fu Yuzhou said he disliked and didn’t like Chu Ning, but when he was getting food, he deliberately got an extra serving.

He was hoping that Chu Ning would disobey him and not go back.

So he could go back and eat with her.

Just as he chose his dishes and went back, Deputy Commander Chen Mo rushed towards him.

“Commander, it’s not good, there are rumors outside that you’re hiding a woman in your dormitory, and Captain Chen is leading the discipline committee and a group of people to your dormitory to catch you in the act.”

Caught in the act?

Fu Yuzhou’s dark eyes suddenly sank.

His heart sounded an alarm. Without thinking, he threw the food box to Chen Mo and ran towards the dormitory.
