long-term marriage

Chapter 27

Qiao Zhi's words were intended to politely reject Liang Yu, but she didn't intend to really bother Fu Xuan. Although her foot was injured, it was not impossible for her to take a step. After being alone for a long time, only she didn't want to do it. , nothing is impossible.

Naturally, Fu Xuan refused, and must send Qiao Zhi home in person. What he meant was that after what happened to Qiao Zhi that day, Qi Zhen took a fancy to him and transferred him to the criminal police team. Qi Zhen said it was because of his ability, but Fu Xuan knew that it might have something to do with Gu Yechen.

Fu Xuan pulled his wife over and introduced him to Qiao Zhi, "This is the wife of Battalion Commander Gu that I often tell you about. Let's get acquainted."

The little girl's name is Xia Man, she is very young, with a docile look on her face, she obediently calls her sister-in-law when she meets Qiao Zhi.

Xia Man has a gentle personality, and Qiao Zhi is not a difficult person to get along with. Coupled with Fu Xuan's work, Xia Man is very close to Qiao Zhi. On the way to send Qiao Zhi home, the two have become very familiar with each other.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know how much Fu Xuan admires Battalion Commander Gu." Xia Man's tone was playful, with a little teasing.

"Battlemaster Gu?" Qiao Zhi was puzzled.

"My sister-in-law doesn't know yet. I am from the same unit as Battalion Commander Gu. I felt very familiar when I saw his business card that day, but I didn't expect that this Gu Yechen was the Gu Yechen I admired." Fu Xuan looked at him in the rearview mirror. Qiao Zhi smiled.

"Battle Commander Gu is well-known in our reconnaissance battalion, but I didn't catch up with the good time. When I joined the army, Battalion Commander Gu had already entered that place, so I only heard his name but didn't see him..."

"Once Fu Xuan talked about things in the army, he couldn't stop." Xia Man complained to Qiao Zhi in a low voice, but there was a sweet smile in his eyes.

"At that time, Battalion Commander Gu and the Chief of Staff of the Marine Corps were outstanding in that place. I ran for the reputation of the two of them and participated in the selection, but, hehe..." Fu Xuan scratched his head and smirked, "It was brushed down."

"I didn't expect to see my idol one day, but it's a pity that I won't be able to see that chief of staff." Fu Xuan said with a hint of regret in his tone.

"Speaking of the chief of staff?" Qiao Zhi had already been completely absorbed by Fu Xuan's words.

"Yeah, that was last year, the Chief of Staff Yan died in the line of duty..."

Qiao Zhi was startled, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Fu Xuan in the driver's seat, "What did you say? Died in the line of duty?"

"Yeah, the specifics are all confidential, we can't know, we only know that the case was a sensation at the time, and many people died..."

"Battalion Commander Gu should have participated in that operation, he should know better, but it's all confidential, even if he knows, he can't say it..."

What Fu Xuan said was very ordinary, but Qiao Zhi felt a little depressed when she heard it. She clenched her hands tightly, feeling that a big rock was weighing heavily on her heart, and something flashed through her mind quickly. I can't help it or I don't want to catch it in my heart.

At night, it was as cool as water, and the sky was full of stars outside the window. Qiao Zhi was sitting on an old recliner on the balcony, with her injured foot resting on the small tea table, unconsciously flipping through a book in her hand. A gentle breeze carried the laughter of the children in the community, and distant Cantonese songs played in the old CD player.

Qiao Zhi didn't have much feeling for Cantonese songs in the past. After she moved in, she sorted out many CDs of Gu Yechen. She would listen to them when she had nothing to do. Gradually, she got used to them.

Her eyes are on the book, but her mind is not there. For some reason, she always thinks of her parents tonight. She doesn’t remember much about her father. She only remembers that every time she sees him, he is wearing a green military uniform. She smiled warmly, and could lift her up on the shoulders at once. Mom stood aside and looked at Dad with a gentle smile.

She thought of Gu's father again, remembered his sad eyes and hot tears when she saw him for the first time, she also thought of Gu Yechen, remembered his resolute expression when he was in the Civil Affairs Bureau, remembered his straight face without looking back back view.

Qiao Zhi's mood was a little confused, it was Fu Xuan's words that made her heart rippling, she always thought that Gu Yechen came back because the four-year period with Gu's father had come, but is this really the case?

Picking up the sketchbook on the side, Qiao Zhi calmed herself down slowly. She didn't want to guess about some things, and she didn't dare to guess, because she was afraid, she was afraid that her guess would be right.

The outline on the plain face book gradually took shape, and Qiao Zhi suddenly stopped writing. With bushy eyebrows, narrow eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips, the person on the drawing paper looked at her softly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a faint smile. With a shallow smile, Qiao Zhi looked at the door in a daze. She opened the door that afternoon, and he stood there against the light. He said, you are Qiao Zhi, hello, I am Gu Yechen.

He said, since you don't have a boyfriend or someone you like for the time being, and I'm the same as you, we might as well make a fake show.

He said, you are not alone now, you have your father, your mother, and me.

He said, Qiao Zhi, I am your husband, we are one, so no matter what happens, I will bear it with you, do you understand?

With slender fingers gently stroking the eyebrows on the paper, Qiao Zhi let out a long sigh. It turns out that love is such a thing, it will make people lose all reason, and it will make people become a brainless fool.

Their marriage was too complicated, with too many things mixed in, not only family affection, but also unexplainable kindness, such a proud, cold and wise person would not put himself in such an unbearable situation, he couldn't bear it Father Gu's disappointment and the guilt in his heart, some things in his heart are far higher than love, this is undeniable, she knew it when he chose to marry her.

Looking at the epiphyllum whose buds are growing just right, Qiao Zhi has a touch of tenderness in her eyes. He actually gave up a lot of things for Gu's father and her, but when the so-called truth came, she ignored his step by step approaching cautiously.
It doesn't matter who that woman is, Gu Yechen, after all, she won't be that kind of person.

Now he may not love her, but what does it matter, after all, he doesn't hate her, and is even willing to get close to her, so the future will be long, after she falls in love with him, she will try her best to make him truly love her too fuck her.

After a little hesitation, Qiao Zhi picked up the mobile phone beside her and dialed a number that she was familiar with but was dialed for the first time. The phone rang a few times and was picked up. Gu Yechen's familiar voice came from the other end, "Qiao Zhi..."

"It's me..." Qiao Zhi bit her lip slightly.

"Did something happen?" Gu Yechen's voice was a little anxious, she never took the initiative to call him, if it wasn't for something, the two of them had a quarrel like that yesterday, how could she take the initiative to call him.

"I don't have anything to do..." Qiao Zhi said hurriedly, and then her voice dropped again, "I, I just want to ask you, are you done with your work? You left in a hurry yesterday, did you have something wrong? What's the matter?" Biting her lower lip in annoyance, there was nothing wrong with her calling him, it was just what she wanted.

Gu Yechen was a little silent when he heard the words, and said after a while, "There are some things, I'm waiting for news." His voice was low and hoarse, and Qiao Zhi could feel his deep exhaustion through the phone.

"Then get busy first, I'll hang up first..." He didn't say much about why, and she naturally didn't ask too much, if he wanted to, he would tell her.

"Qiao Zhi..." The person on the other end of the phone called her, "Don't hang up, I want to hear you talk..."

Qiao Zhi blushed, her voice was three points lower, and she coughed uncomfortably, "Say, say, say what" her lips and tongue were a little knotted,
"Anything is fine, I just want to hear your voice..."

There was a tiredness in his voice that no one could ignore. He must have encountered some difficult things. Qiao Zhi felt distressed in her heart, so she followed his soft words, "The buds of Epiphyllum are blooming very well. I don't see how it can be opened in two or three days..."

"Do you know what I'm doing now?" Qiao Zhi's voice was gentle and tender, and when she heard Gu Yechen's voice again after confirming her mind, everything seemed to have undergone several invisible changes.

There was the crisp sound of a lighter, and he should be leaning on a place to smoke.

"You can't guess, I'm using your old CD to listen to those Cantonese songs, Jacky Cheung's, Teresa Teng's, and brother's..."

"I found a bookmark in your book. I made it myself, or it was made of bamboo..." Qiao Zhi touched the bamboo stick in the book and smiled softly.

"Qiao Zhi, I miss you..." Gu Yechen said suddenly, the tip of the bamboo stick slightly hurt Qiao Zhi's fingertips, but she didn't seem to notice anything, wondering if she had an auditory hallucination.

There was no sound for a long time, only shallow and rapid breathing came, Gu Yechen's tired face showed a trace of gentleness, and his voice was soft, word by word, "Qiao Zhi, I miss you..."
