Chapter 6: The Irresistible Soldier Brother

“Wow, he’s so handsome! Who is he?”

The newly arrived educated youths were busy unpacking.

Suddenly, upon seeing Fu Yuzhou enter, they were captivated by his handsome appearance.

Jiang Ke, an educated youth, asked curiously.

Liu Ai, another educated youth who arrived with her, was also attracted by Fu Yuzhou’s handsome appearance.

Her large eyes shone brightly.

“I don’t know, but he’s really handsome.”

The female educated youths who had come to the countryside were all girls around twenty years old.

They were in their prime, an age when they were naturally attracted to men.

Fu Yuzhou was undoubtedly a standout, a captivating figure.

He made the hearts of the several newly arrived female educated youths flutter.

Of course, this also included several older female educated youths who were outside.

“Battalion Commander Fu, why are you suddenly here? Weren’t you supposed to return to the city today?”

Wang Fengxian, the women’s director, walked towards Fu Yuzhou.

She was responsible for arranging accommodation for the newly arrived educated youths.

She had planned to arrange their accommodation and then take them to see off the cadres and educated youths returning to the city today.

“I’m looking for someone.”

Fu Yuzhou got straight to the point, holding nothing back from Wang Fengxian.

“Among the newly arrived educated youths, is there anyone named Chu Ning?”

Wang Fengxian frowned. “Chu Ning? I don’t think so.”

“I know, we have a friend surnamed Chu, but she got sick from the change of environment and was temporarily sent to the health clinic in another brigade. She might arrive a few days later. What do you want with her? Do you know her?”

Jiang Ke suddenly chimed in.

She knew that out of the eight educated youths who came to the countryside with them, one surnamed Chu had fallen ill from the change of environment and been sent to another brigade for treatment.

As for whether her name was Chu Ning, Jiang Ke didn’t really know.

Sure enough, his guess was right.

It was one of the newly arrived female educated youths who had caused him trouble.

“Did she really get sick from the change of environment and was left behind? Or is she hiding and not daring to see me?”

Fu Yuzhou’s voice was noticeably colder.

Jiang Ke met Fu Yuzhou’s displeased gaze.

She felt that there was something between that Chu woman and Fu Yuzhou.

“Captain, it’s true. I didn’t lie to you.”

Jiang Ke dared not look at Fu Yuzhou’s eyes, which were filled with a cold light.

However, she had to admit that even when angry, the Captain was still charmingly handsome.

Her heart fluttered a little.

Fu Yuzhou clearly didn’t believe her. He felt that the woman from last night was definitely hiding somewhere.

Immediately, he stopped talking to Jiang Ke.

Instead, he approached Wang Fengxian and whispered something in her ear.

Wang Fengxian was immediately shocked.

“Battalion Commander Fu, is that really the case?”

“Mm.”

Fu Yuzhou’s face was dark, and he spoke sparingly.

“But, Battalion Commander Fu, I can swear on my head that among the newly arrived female educated youths, besides the one who got sick from the change of environment, the other seven are all here, no one else. And no one went out after the lights went out last night.”

Hearing this, Fu Yuzhou’s face visibly darkened.

“Give me the list.”

Fu Yuzhou took the list from the women’s director.

Jiang Ke, Liu Ai, Zhang Yue…

Chu Ning was not on it.

Fu Yuzhou didn’t believe it. How could a living person not be here?

And he still had an earring the woman had worn in his drawer.

He was certain that the woman was definitely in the Hongguang Brigade.

“Director Wang, the car for those returning to the city has arrived. If you’re done here, let’s go together to see them off…”

Suddenly, the production brigade captain, who had just entered, was about to ask Wang Fengxian to take the educated youths to see them off.

As soon as he saw Fu Yuzhou standing in the yard, his brows furrowed.

“Battalion Commander Fu, why are you still here?”

Someone who was supposed to be returning to the city shouldn’t be casually standing in the educated youth quarters.

Fu Yuzhou turned around. “I have something to do, I’ll be leaving soon.”

Fu Yuzhou handed the list to Wang Fengxian and walked out.

Chen Donglai, the production brigade captain, followed Fu Yuzhou out.

“Battalion Commander Fu, wait.”

Fu Yuzhou slowed his pace. “Captain Chen, what is it?”

Chen Donglai walked over and stopped in front of Fu Yuzhou.

“Captain, please consider this, I hope you can stay. Our militia company has just recruited new soldiers, and relying on just one captain is simply not enough. They’re a disorganized mess, and when the country needs them, I’m afraid they won’t be able to perform. We absolutely need your militia company to help with training and guidance.”

Although Fu Yuzhou was the Captain of the commune militia company, he knew the situation of the brigade militia company very well. It wasn’t as serious as Chen Donglai had described.

“Captain Chen, I know the situation of your militia company better than you do. There’s no need to exaggerate.”

Chen Donglai was just trying to flatter him, but his flattery fell flat.

“Alright, I won’t beat around the bush; I’ll be frank with you. It’s my daughter, she wants you to stay, that’s why I said all that.”

Chen Donglai was the captain of the Hongguang Brigade. Although he wasn’t as impressive as the commune captain, as the brigade captain, he was a leader in the Hongguang Brigade and had some status.

Of course, he also knew Fu Yuzhou’s identity.

Although he was the Captain of the commune militia company, he was said to be the child of a high-ranking official who had been sent to the countryside because of a mistake.

Now, his time was up, and he was supposed to return to the city.

But his daughter had her eyes on Fu Yuzhou.

She had been pursuing Fu Yuzhou openly and secretly.

But Fu Yuzhou had always ignored her.

Now, Fu Yuzhou was about to leave.

His daughter was distraught.

As a father, he didn’t want to see his daughter lose a good match.

To be precise, he liked Fu Yuzhou, this outstanding Captain.

He secretly wanted to do something for his daughter.

Fu Yuzhou had been in the Hongguang Brigade for three years.

He naturally knew about Chen Donglai’s daughter, Chen Guihua’s feelings for him.

It was a pity that the girl had feelings, but the man didn’t.

“Captain, I’m sorry, you can’t force matters of the heart. I already have someone I like.”

Fu Yuzhou used an excuse.

In fact, this was the excuse he had always used to deal with those who pursued him during his three years of service in the Hongguang Brigade.

In fact, he didn’t have anyone he liked.

And he certainly didn’t plan on having a relationship at the moment.

Three years ago, the reason he was sent here was that his family had arranged a marriage for him.

He had disagreed and quarreled with his father before coming to the countryside to reform himself.

Hearing this, Chen Donglai smiled awkwardly.

“See, I said Guihua was in unrequited love. Someone from a wealthy family like you, a high-ranking official’s child, how could you not be engaged or married? Oh well, since you have to go back for your sweetheart, then go back!”

Chen Donglai gave up.

In any case, he had tried his best.

“Battalion Commander Fu, do you really have a sweetheart?”

Chen Guihua, who appeared at some point, asked Fu Yuzhou with a crying voice.

Fu Yuzhou paused, his cold eyes fixed on Chen Guihua, and he spoke sparingly.

“Mm.”

“Wuwuwu.”

Chen Guihua suddenly burst into tears.

Chen Donglai was a little flustered.

“Guihua, what are you crying for?”

Chen Donglai hurriedly comforted his daughter.

“Battalion Commander Fu isn’t from our Hongguang Brigade anyway, it’s only a matter of time before he leaves.”

“I like him, I don’t want him to leave.”

“Shut up, don’t say that.”

Chen Donglai felt ashamed of his daughter’s brazenness.

He pulled Chen Guihua back.

Chen Guihua broke free from Chen Donglai’s hand.

“Dad, don’t worry, I won’t cling to Battalion Commander Fu.”

After saying that, Chen Guihua wiped away her tears and walked towards Fu Yuzhou.
