Chapter 7: A Calculated Release?

Fu Yuzhou looked at Chen Guihua before him.

“Don’t waste your breath.”

Fu Yuzhou didn’t want to hear any confessions.

He was naturally cold and didn’t have a good impression of women.

He deliberately reminded Chen Guihua, warning her not to waste her words confessing to him.

Chen Guihua didn’t want to waste her words either.

She knew Fu Yuzhou wouldn’t stay.

Besides acceptance, she had no choice.

“Don’t worry, I won’t.”

Chen Guihua looked at Fu Yuzhou, her eyes sparkling with allure.

Suddenly, she took out a pair of cloth shoes from a floral cloth bundle.

“I made these shoes myself. I hope you’ll take them as a memento.”

Chen Guihua had painstakingly made the thousand-layer sole and the shoe uppers herself, then stitched them together stitch by stitch.

Afraid Fu Yuzhou wouldn’t like them, she spent a month making the shoes.

Now, presenting them to Fu Yuzhou, she hoped he would accept them, taking her feelings with them.

Fu Yuzhou was startled by Chen Guihua’s unexpected action.

Without thinking, he refused.

“No, I don’t usually wear these kinds of shoes.”

He was used to wearing military sneakers and boots.

He knew these thousand-layer sole shoes were precious and rare!

Unfortunately, the person who gave him the shoes wasn’t the one he loved.

Naturally, he couldn’t accept them!

“They’re very comfortable. Your military sneakers don’t breathe well.”

Fu Yuzhou looked at his own shoes.

He shook his head. “No, these are fine. I’m used to them.”

After saying that, Fu Yuzhou walked away.

Chen Guihua, standing where she was, had tears welling up in her eyes.

Fu Yuzhou had rejected her love.

He rejected her handmade shoes along with it.

He was truly cold-blooded!

A voice came from the loudspeaker on the large team’s telegraph pole.

“Comrade Fu Yuzhou, assemble immediately. The car back to the city is waiting for you.”

Fu Yuzhou walked with his head down, the loudspeaker above him delivering the message.

Fu Yuzhou’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He only knew he wasn’t reconciled.

He had been kissed by that woman last night, and to leave like this was too unfair!

Thinking again, that woman with ulterior motives had gone that far.

Could he still successfully return to the city?

Fu Yuzhou felt that someone would definitely trip him up at a critical moment.

He went to assemble with a restless heart.

However, until the guards brought his packed luggage, nothing unexpected happened.

The overly smooth events made Fu Yuzhou feel uneasy.

“Comrade, it’s time to get on the car.”

The driver of the Dongfeng truck, sitting in the driver’s seat, leaned out and called to Fu Yuzhou.

Fu Yuzhou, with a big red flower on his chest, was absent-minded.

His mind was full of Chu Ning’s face.

He had prepared himself to give up the chance to return to the city, so why didn’t she appear?

A calculated release?

At that moment, the women’s director ran over.

Leaning close to Fu Yuzhou, she whispered to him:

“Battalion Commander Fu, I found out for you.

Chu Ling, that intellectual youth who has altitude sickness, her name is really Chu Ling.”

Because the women’s director, Wang Fengxian, had a poor pronunciation.

It was clearly two syllables, but Wang Fengxian pronounced it as Chu Ning.

Hearing this, Fu Yuzhou’s nerves twitched.

It was her?

Instantly, Fu Yuzhou changed his mind.

He gave up returning to the city.

If Chu Ning was playing hard to get.

He admitted he was caught.

“Captain, I give up returning to the city. Let someone else take my place.”

Suddenly, Fu Yuzhou told Wang Cheng, the commune captain, that he was giving up.

Immediately, the people around who were seeing him off were stunned.

They couldn’t believe Fu Yuzhou would give up returning to the city.

Intellectual youths who went to the countryside to serve had to stay for at least five years.

Fu Yuzhou had been thoroughly reformed, and the higher-ups had personally spoken up, making an exception for him to go back.

Giving up this opportunity meant the next chance to return to the city would be five years later.

Many intellectual youths were eager to leave, but Fu Yuzhou must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to suddenly say he was giving up this opportunity.

However, Chen Guihua, standing in the crowd, was overjoyed.

She narcissistically thought that Fu Yuzhou must have been moved by her sincerity.

Because she had just asked the women’s director to pass a message to Fu Yuzhou.

Fu Yuzhou suddenly gave up returning to the city, definitely because of that message.

Thinking of that message, Chen Guihua’s face flushed red, and she dashed out of the crowd and ran home.

Chen Donglai was even more bewildered.

Why did Fu Yuzhou suddenly stay?

Could it be that he had changed his mind and decided to accept Guihua?

Under everyone’s curious gaze.

Fu Yuzhou took the luggage bag from the guard and went straight to his dormitory.

Chu Ning, damn woman.

Wang Fengxian had just clearly told him which team Chu Ning was in.

He would now go there personally and bring her back!

•  

Beijing People’s Hospital.

Chu Ning was woken up by the sound of a quarrel.

“You bastard, Zhou Chenhao, you bully Xiao Lemon, and now you even bully her with your mother?”

The person who came to accuse was Tang Siqi.

She had found the fainted Chu Ning and sent her to the hospital in time.

The doctor said that Chu Ning had been stimulated and had a sudden heart attack.

Luckily, she was sent in time, otherwise, a life would have been lost.

Tang Siqi knew very well that before she left, Chu Ning was with Wang Xiang.

Chu Ning’s sudden heart attack must have been because Wang Xiang said something to stimulate her.

She was a little afraid of Wang Xiang and didn’t dare to go to her directly.

She could only act like a shrew and personally catch Zhou Chenhao.

To be precise, Tang Siqi handcuffed Zhou Chenhao.

Zhou Chenhao’s left hand was handcuffed to Tang Siqi’s right hand.

He nonchalantly dug his ears.

He said casually: “It’s because she is scheming and plays too many tricks, that her heart gave out.

My mother doesn’t bear the blame for this.”

Zhou Chenhao knew better than anyone that his mother had long been brainwashed by Chu Ning.

His mother, even if she hurt him, wouldn’t hurt Chu Ning in the slightest.

Therefore, he firmly believed that Chu Ning’s sudden heart attack had nothing to do with his mother.

“Don’t worry, Zhou Chenhao, do you still have a conscience?”

Tang Siqi swung her left hand, about to slap Zhou Chenhao.

She didn’t dare to offend Wang Xiang, but she had the guts to deal with Zhou Chenhao.

“Want to hit me? Who gave you the guts?”

Zhou Chenhao grabbed Tang Siqi’s hand.

His sparkling peach blossom eyes showed disdain and anger.

“I’m hitting you, you bastard, dead scumbag.”

Tang Siqi wasn’t a vegetarian. If she couldn’t hit him, she kicked Zhou Chenhao.

She had great strength.

Zhou Chenhao gritted his teeth in pain, “Tang Siqi, you…”

“Shut up.”

Chu Ning suddenly spoke.

“Xiao Lemon.”

Tang Siqi walked to the bedside.

“How are you feeling? Is your heart uncomfortable?”

Tang Siqi was really worried about Chu Ning.

She was afraid she wouldn’t wake up.

Chu Ning’s lips were pale.

Zhou Chenhao didn’t care about Chu Ning’s life or death.

If his hand wasn’t handcuffed to Tang Siqi’s,

he would definitely not be in the hospital, standing in front of Chu Ning.

Chu Ning didn’t want to see Zhou Chenhao either.

She said to Tang Siqi: “Let him go.”

Tang Siqi protested, “No, his mother caused you to have a heart attack, and the situation is quite serious, I heard you won’t live for more than three months.

So, if he doesn’t agree to be responsible for the rest of your life today, I’ll finish him.”
