"What is it?" Xu Le asked, puzzled.
"I always feel that you're in a hurry to marry me off." Zou Yu looked at him with a half-smile and mocked, "But the problem is that you're not my father, although you do have a tendency to act like an old man."
Every time this beautiful and charming woman smiled, her eyebrows would be raised like the tip of a sword, piercing the other party's heart.
"The bigger problem is that we've lived together for half a year. Which big shot in the Capital Special Administrative Region doesn't know that we have a common son? Now that you're involved in scandals with others every day, I'm already embarrassed enough. In the end, you're in a hurry to get rid of me so that you can get close to those flowers and plants. Don't you think this is a little shameless? "
Hearing Zou Yu's mocking tone, Xu Le was speechless. Because when he thought about it carefully, this matter was always his fault. But when it came to certain flowers and plants, he couldn't help but want to explain.
"I have nothing to do with them."
…
…
"Using plural words like 'them', you actually have the guts to say you have nothing to do with them? I'm really curious why the Women's Rights Foundation hasn't troubled you. Is it because you're a war hero of the Federation? " Zou Yu shook her head and mocked, "In the past two years, you haven't made any progress in other skills, but that guy has taught you a lot about womanizing."
"This has nothing to do with Shi Qinghai." Xu Le sighed and said somewhat helplessly, "I've told you before. At my age, I should be in a relationship, preparing to get married and have children. But the problem is … I can't find a partner. Or rather, I don't know who I want to spend the rest of my life with the most."
"When you decided to enter the Nutshell University, earn money to buy a house and a car, and marry Zhang Xiaomeng … Why didn't you hesitate?"
Zou Yu continued her mocking. As close friends, she knew too many secrets of Xu Le. It was also because of this friendship that she never had a trace of positive feelings toward the leaf of Green Dragon Mountain. Strangely, Shi Qinghai seemed to be the same.
Xu Le's mood was gloomy as he drank the water without saying a word.
Zou Yu looked at him for a while and suddenly said calmly, "You like everyone, but no matter who it is, you haven't reached the peak of liking because you can't put all your feelings into it."
"You're a guy with no sense of security. You've always refused to tell me the specific reason, and I'm too lazy to guess. But I think you've never been sure what your life will be like, so you've never had the courage to start a formal relationship. "
"The reason why you had such courage in the beginning when you were with Zhang Xiaomeng was partly because that woman might have some tricks up her sleeve."
Zou Yu did not miss any opportunity to mock the girl who was busy working on the Parliament Hill. "On the other hand, it's because he's your first love. When an ignorant male animal is in heat for the first time, he doesn't care if he's going to be smashed to pieces."
Hearing these words, Xu Le felt extremely awkward. It was rare for him to retaliate and mock her. "From these words, I can see that you and Shi Qinghai are the same type of people."
"I don't completely deny this point, but being the same type of people doesn't mean that we have to spend the rest of our lives together." Zou Yu was unmoved and continued to mock him. "Only a guy like you would be so boring in any relationship that he would directly use marriage and children as the premise. He would often say that he would stay with her for the rest of his life. The pressure is too great, so naturally, you don't have the courage to continue."
"But not long ago, I formally asked one of them to be in a relationship, but … I was tragically rejected by her," Xu Le said doubtfully.
"It's obvious that the life and death experiences on the battlefield made you secrete too much testosterone. As for the reason why that smart girl rejected you, it's very simple. It's because anyone can see that you're seriously lacking in sincerity when you asked for a relationship. "
Zou Yu frowned and replied, "Girls always need some mental things. Even a simple-minded and focused genius like Shang Qiu might not necessarily be an idiot when it comes to relationships."
"With just a few empty words, you want to trick a baby-faced, big-breasted genius engineer into marriage, and at the same time, design and repair mecha for you … how can there be such a good deal in the world?"
…
…
"For us women, feelings are always the most important thing." Zou Yu calmed down and said, "I've always thought that we are very good friends, partners who can trust each other the most. But recently, you've been trying to get me and Shi Qinghai together. This kind of forced feeling makes me very uncomfortable."
Xu Le thought about it silently, trying to feel her discomfort from her perspective. Unfortunately, he couldn't figure out this kind of complicated relationship in such a short amount of time. He could only explain, "I really want to see my best friend, an outstanding man and woman like the two of you together. Perhaps I've always thought that this would be like the happy ending of a fairytale in a novel."
"The problem is that I don't understand Shi Qinghai as a person." Zou Yu's expression was calm as she said, "Back when I was pregnant with Liu Huo, you told me the story of this rascal young master every day. I have to admit that the Shi Qinghai you spoke of at that time did indeed have some charm. A spy from Green Dragon Mountain hidden in the political system, walking in the dark to avenge his teacher. As long as you're a girl, you'll probably be attracted to this kind of dark hero."
"But in the end, that's just a story."
She took off the gorgeous red flower in her black hair, looked at the petals, and said in a daze, "I don't know what he likes to eat, whether it's the same or completely opposite to mine. I don't know what kind of clothes he likes to wear, whether it makes me feel disgusted when I look at them. I don't know his shoe size, nor his birthday … I'm indeed curious about such a strange man, because after all, he's the child's biological father. I even once had some childish suspicions and expectations, but it's impossible for me to like him just because of your nagging."
"What I couldn't accept the most was that when he first entered my world with a clear image, he suddenly became an idiot who blocked the West Mountain compound every day, pestering me with emails, text messages, and unpleasant songs. He only had a good-looking face but was not magnanimous at all."
Zou Yu shook her head and said with slight mockery, "Once an ideal is reflected in reality, curiosity and expectations will all be broken by the sun."
"I don't agree with your harsh view of Mr. Shi. His partners and comrades-in-arms, the things he has done, and the important positions he holds now — there's nothing about him that makes him look like an idiot."
Xu Le rubbed the dull pain between his eyebrows and said helplessly, "As I said before, his clumsiness in front of you just proves that he cares. I thought that after such a long time of frequent correspondence with you, you should know a lot about each other. Who knew … do you really not have any feelings for him at all?"
"I don't know." Zou Yu maintained her usual temperament and answered very simply and quickly, "I don't know enough about him, and there's not enough time. I need to observe."
"Fortunately, at least there's still a possibility." Xu Le shrugged with a smile and said seriously, "You don't like to be pushed to do something. I admit that I didn't think it through thoroughly. If you still can't accept that guy after thinking it through, of course, I'll support you."
"That's a friend. I'm glad that you didn't show the attitude of not treating me as a friend, but as a woman who only treats me as a friend."
Zou Yu smiled sweetly, and the coldness turned into a warm spring breeze. She said, "This matter ends here. Don't be nosy. I'll think about it myself."
Xu Le smiled, called the waiter to sign the bill, and then walked out of the Linyuan with her. At this time, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, and the late spring sunshine was all blocked. A gust of wind came out of nowhere, and with the drizzle like silk, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot. Zou Yu, who was only wearing thin underwear, frowned slightly and subconsciously hugged her shoulders.
Xu Le was a guy who was very nostalgic, or it could be said that his memory was so good that his way of thinking was somewhat different. When he first met Tai Zhiyuan at Ewha University in H1, the other party was a pale, weak, and unconscious teenager. Therefore, he regarded the Crown Prince as a weak person who needed his protection.
A long time ago, when Zou Yu was pregnant, Xu Le was responsible for taking care of everything from food to daily life. During that time, the proud and cold daughter of a powerful family came into contact with the ordinary life of the secular world, and her outlook on life had some subtle changes. The biggest impact of that time on Xu Le was that until today, in his heart, Yuzi was still that pregnant woman who needed to be carefully taken care of.
Zou Yu's short red windbreaker was hanging on his elbow. In the chilly wind and drizzle, he naturally shook open the windbreaker and draped it over her shoulders. Zou Yu naturally got into the windbreaker and didn't say thank you. It was a matter of course, and they cooperated with each other very well.
Because of this tacit understanding, the two friends of the opposite sex who had no romantic feelings were slightly startled, and then smiled at each other. The gorgeous red flower in the girl's hand was exceptionally gentle.
A dark green military vehicle stopped at the entrance of the Linyuan restaurant. The orderly got out of the car and ran over, hurriedly opening the umbrella and preparing to help the young lady into the car.
"I drove the black car here, I'll send you back," Xu Le said.
Zou Yu shook her head, calmly and with a hint of examination, her gaze swept over Xu Le's shoulder, and looked at the dim corner outside the restaurant where the light rain was blowing. A trace of an interesting smile appeared on her lips, and said, "The person you should send is here. Go, otherwise these flowers and plants will be ruined by the rain."
Xu Le was stunned and followed her gaze, only to see a beautiful girl in a light blue dress standing there. The girl's slightly curly black hair was dyed by the rain, adding a trace of tranquil beauty. However, her expression was extremely nervous, with a trace of embarrassment in her shyness, as if she wanted to quickly escape from this place.

Nan Xiangmei had just returned to S1 a few days ago. Because of the changes in the journey, she was very regretful and even a little sad that she didn't see the award ceremony that made Group 7 famous in the universe. Then there was the conflict that happened at the seaside. The major forces at the top of the Federation's power were extremely nervous, but for this young lady of the seven major families, she didn't care about these complicated things in her heart, only simple joy, because she knew that he had returned and was in S1.
She asked a distant uncle who held an important position in the Federation's Investigation Bureau for help. Nan Xiangmei knew that Xu Le was coming to Linyuan today, so she came here purely subconsciously. However, when she was cheering herself on cutely at the entrance of the restaurant, she saw the scene of Xu Le sending Zou Yu out.
She saw the tacit understanding between the young man and woman at the entrance of the restaurant very clearly. Suddenly, she remembered that he seemed to have a rumored fiancée, who should be Minister Zou's daughter. He had a scandal with the national girl that everyone liked, and there was also that beautiful female official from Green Dragon Mountain …
This was not a vulgar scene. Naturally, it wouldn't cause a man and a woman who loved each other to be separated because of a misunderstanding. They hadn't seen each other for seventy years, and they were sorry for each other until their hair turned white. Nan Xiangmei was a little sad because she realized that she had only met him three times and wasn't familiar with him. She didn't even have the right to misunderstand or be jealous of him …
So she lowered her head slightly in the rain and cold wind, clenched her delicate fists, and stood in the dark corner, not daring to go forward.
This was the first time I liked a man, this was my first love. If I gradually grew up and found that he wasn't worth liking, I would probably reflect on my childish and ridiculous infatuation at that time. Decades later, I would tell my grandson about my stupidity under the sun, and sternly order him not to associate with a girl in the civilian area …
But two years had passed, and he was the same as before, even more worthy of respect and love than before. Then, this infatuation would become deeper and deeper, right?
Nan Xiangmei said to herself in her heart. Then she took a deep breath, raised her head to meet the other's gaze, squeezed out a sweet smile with difficulty, and bravely walked over, but she didn't realize that the crystal-clear water droplets on her hair were gently trembling with her body.

(I wanted to give a warning in advance, but because I still had some nonsense to say, I could only leave it at the end.
Yesterday, before I went to the construction material market to purchase materials, I had a meal and chatted with two friends who I met through books in Qing Dynasty. We talked about this section, and it's what I was going to write, and it's also what I'm going to write today.
Jin Yong's words are very correct, but when I was young, I always thought that if Zhu Jiujiu was really a good girl, then Zhang Wuji would definitely be infatuated with her for a lifetime, right?
You all know that I love to write. This chapter is very pleasant to write, and it's not necessarily good, but I like to read it. When I'm excited, I actually wrote nearly four thousand words, which is rare …
