Chapter 236 An Encounter
night.
After returning to their respective rooms, Grandma Qin and Du Mei were overjoyed to see the new clothes on the bed.
Neither of these outfits were cheap.
Especially Du Mei in this blue dress, after putting it on, she no longer looks like a country girl at all, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she grew up in the city.
She couldn't resist changing into it and twirling around in front of Old Lady Qin.
"Grandma, is it pretty?"
"Beautiful, truly beautiful." Old Mrs. Qin laughed. "Judging from this, your cousin-in-law has definitely put her heart into you."
When giving clothes as gifts, it's important that they're not suitable; you have to put some thought into choosing the right ones.
Du Mei looked in the mirror. The girl in the mirror had delicate features, not exactly beautiful, but she had a lively and youthful charm. Especially her blue dress, which made her look more fashionable like a city girl.
She loves it.
"Yes, my cousin's wife is really good to me."
It will be just right to wear when the weather gets warmer after the New Year.
……
The next morning.
Xu Sui received Qin Yunzhou's letter, which came with one hundred yuan and various other miscellaneous tickets.
The letter stated that he would come to Beijing to spend the Lunar New Year with them this year, but the exact time of his arrival would depend on when his mission ended. If things went smoothly, he might arrive in the next few days, but if something unexpected happened, he might not be able to come until after the Lunar New Year.
Tell her not to worry.
Upon receiving the letter, Xu Sui breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he would come; she had thought he wouldn't be able to.
When couples are separated for a long time, they can't help but miss each other.
Especially when they were separated, it was just the time when the unspoken understanding between them was broken and their relationship progressed rapidly.
If they didn't tell anyone, who would guess that they have two children, but apart from that one time before their marriage, they have never been intimate with each other.
I ate breakfast in the morning.
Xu Sui spent some time with the two children.
Although the two children are twins, they do not look alike.
My younger sister is even prettier, combining all the best features of both parents. She looks so sweet and soft, I just want to kiss her little face and take a bite of her chubby cheeks.
The older brother looks just like Qin Yunzhou; you can tell at a glance whose child he is.
She spends most of her time at school and doesn't have much time to take care of her two children. She can only come back on weekends or when she has free time to spend with them.
Fortunately, the two little ones are not shy and can recognize their mother even if they haven't seen her for a week.
The relationship between the mother and her two children is actually quite good.
After spending some time with the child, Xu Sui took the money and tickets and went out. Today, she not only had to buy things for Xiao Fen and send them to her, but also had to go to a classmate's house to deliver a fountain pen to her.
This pen was accidentally put into her bag during class.
She had heard from others that this was a token of love from her boyfriend. It wasn't cheap; it was bought at an overseas Chinese store and cost a lot of money. Her boyfriend usually treasured this pen.
Coincidentally.
After making some inquiries, Xu Sui learned that her classmate Fang Yue lived in the military compound.
This place is the same address that Qin Yunzhou gave her for her childhood friends.
She wouldn't actually want to make a special trip for anything that wasn't particularly valuable or meaningful.
After all, the military compound is not a place that ordinary people can enter.
She didn't have the other person's contact information, so she didn't know if the other person would be there when she went there.
However, Xu Sui and Fang Yue usually get along well at school, and since she accidentally took the wrong thing from the other person, she definitely has to go there to put their minds at ease as soon as possible.
Following the address she had been given, Xu Sui took several buses and finally found the main gate of the military compound.
There are people guarding the main gate, and you can't just go in unless someone takes you in or you have an invitation.
Xu Sui took out the pen from her small handbag and walked to the security office at the main gate.
"Hello, comrade, I'm looking for Comrade Fang Yue who lives here. Could you please call her out for me?"
She had considered handing the item over to the security department for them to pass on, but this item was of special significance, and if something happened to it, she wouldn't know how to explain it to Fang Yue.
The security guards looked Xu Sui up and down. Seeing that she was fair-skinned, pretty, and had an outstanding temperament, they didn't think she was someone with bad intentions. They then looked away and said, "Wait a moment, I'll call their family."
"By the way, what's your relationship to her?"
"I'm her classmate. She left something with me, so I'm here to bring it to her."
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll make a call and call them over."
"Okay, thank you, comrade." Xu Sui stood at the entrance of the military compound, waiting.
The Chinese New Year is almost here, but the weather is still very cold these days. We have to wear thick cotton coats and gloves.
The cold wind outside was biting, making people shiver.
Xu Sui's fair face turned red from the cold wind.
Just then, a familiar male voice suddenly rang out from behind.
"Don't be nervous, just do as I say."
Xu Sui immediately recognized the voice. Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously turned her head slightly away from the other person.
However, they were discovered the next second.
Gu Shu, who was instructing Lu Xiaoya, glanced up and instantly spotted a familiar figure. His eyes darkened and became deep.
He disregarded the people around him, strode forward, grabbed the woman's wrist as she tried to sneak away from him, and sneered.
"Long time no see, why didn't you say hello?"
"Am I not even worthy of a greeting from you now?"
Even though they hadn't seen each other's faces for so long, he still wouldn't mistake her for someone else. Sure enough, when he went up to take a look, it really was her.
Her wrists were still slender and fair, and it seemed that if you gripped them tightly, you could break them.
He could never mistake anyone else but her.
Xu Sui, who was just about to sneak away, thought to herself: "..."
She really couldn't understand how this person knew it was her when she was wearing a big cotton coat today, making her look very bulky from behind, and from the moment she recognized Gu Shu's voice, she didn't dare let him see her face.
Now that it has been discovered.
Xu Sui didn't intend to sneak away again. She forcefully shook off Gu Shu's hand, took several steps back, and distanced herself from him.
"Sorry, I didn't see it just now."
At this moment, Lu Xiaoya came out and stood next to Gu Shu. She looked at the two of them with some surprise and hesitated before speaking.
"……Who are you?"
The girl in front of me was in her early twenties. She was gentle and beautiful, with a quiet temperament and a touch of scholarly air. According to the plot of that novel, she should be Lu Xiaoya, the female lead of Gu Shu.
