Chapter 69: The Way to Receive Military Aunt

  My face suddenly turned red. The things between me and Su Haicheng were all done behind closed doors, how did they know? Su Haicheng didn't have my awkward expression, he carried a bucket to the balcony, saying: "Tell us about what happened just now?"

  I don't know why I always feel like Ah Tian is making fun of me, so I followed Su Haicheng to the balcony and leaned against the door frame, starting to tell him about today's events.

  I had just said that as soon as I looked up, I saw Sakura Yuki. At that time, Ah Tian asked on the side: "How can you be sure that the woman sitting opposite you is Sakura Yuki?"

  "There is a photo of my boss on her desk and I often look at it. Her appearance has been etched in my memory for a long time."

  "A Tian also raised a question: "Why are you so concerned about your boss's girlfriend?"

  "I...". I didn't know how to respond for a moment.

  Hai Cheng shook his bed sheet and said unintentionally: "Continue talking about the key point, don't mind him."

  His words made me feel a lot more at ease, otherwise I really didn't know how to explain it to Atian. Moreover, he's quite familiar with Kakashi too, and Kakashi might have already told him that I used to like my boss. Atian must have known this and still asked on purpose.

  But since he asked, I'll be more straightforward. "I used to often look at Sakura's photos. Last time she secretly peeked at our studio door, Kakashi and I chased her out, but only saw a back view. This time it was the whole person sitting properly in front of me, so I could confirm that it was indeed Sakura. She didn't say anything to me, just said my kid is still young, and exposure to computers will have radiation effects. Then she gave me a business card from a mother's health center."

  "What place is this?" Su Haicheng asked.

  "Hey, you're a big shot from the military camp, but you really don't know that place. It's for pregnant women, young mothers who want to lose weight, get rid of stretch marks, and exchange parenting experiences. They also offer nanny services. Anyway, when kids are still young, they can help with all sorts of troubles. My manager's wife went there last year after giving birth, and it cost them almost 10,000 yuan a month."

  I continued, "Haicheng, I think the pregnancy thing, if it was a normal contact under Sakura Snow, it would be impossible for her to know. Now she directly says this matter, it should be that there is someone behind her, and that person told her my information."

  Su Haicheng has already dried the sheets, and his movements are also very skilled. However, he was a soldier for so many years, in the military camp, who would wash his sheets? He must have washed them himself. He poured the water from the bucket into the flower pots of the small plants I planted on the balcony, and that sense of home made me feel that being with him is actually pretty good. After these things are over, I will definitely think of a way to take him for a physical examination, maybe he was just poisoned and not really dead?

  Su Haicheng put down the bucket and said, "Luring by releasing! She can appear and contact you, and say such words, that must be getting the news. But she didn't say much to you, just left a business card, that's waiting for you to take the bait. Our appearance is so obvious, it's to attract her attention, and she also appeared, using this trick to attract your attention. Fourth One, you go there tomorrow to take a look, Ah Tian, you accompany her. This way, we're not afraid of any trouble."

  "Let's go, it's better than sitting here doing nothing."

  Su Haicheng walked back into the room and glared at him. I quickly sat down on the other end of the sofa and asked, "Atian, have you been sitting here all day today?"

  "Right, your husband called me early this morning to come over. Because he wanted to go out and buy new sheets and pillowcases, then change the sheets and pillowcases, and wash them too. Your husband is really diligent. I only washed my own sheets when I was in the army."

  "Did you receive any calls all day?"

  "Got 11 calls. These people are really messing with me, all nonsense. And one of them even had his wife and mistress meet up with a man to open a room. Where's Kakashi? Didn't come today?"

  "Then I'll stay here and keep watch, you go ahead and take care of your business."

  What Ah Tian said shocked me, he actually said: "I let him go to that hotel to cheat and swindle money. He's always saying he has no money, right? This should be able to cheat out tens of thousands."

  I'll take a look at Su Haicheng in the room, the door is not closed, he's still putting on the pillowcase for the new pillow. The people we're monitoring are all relatives of his comrades-in-arms, this...

  A Tian left after having dinner with me and made an appointment to come pick me up at 10 am tomorrow to take a look at that maternal health center.

  As soon as he left, Su Haicheng sat in front of the listening device. I closed the door and looked at his icy expression. When it was just the two of us, it felt awkward.

  "Suhai City, you don't have to be so nervous. Doesn't this phone have a recording function? We can listen to the recording too."

  Su Haicheng didn't respond, still staring at the computer: "From the body floating to the surface of the water, to disappearance, and then arranging a normal process, those two people should be back in D city within these one or two days. The most important phone call should also be within these one or two days."

  "Can this be traced back to the signal? What if they're like you and don't contact their families either?"

  Su Haicheng finally took off his headphones and raised his head: "Let's take a gamble."

  He put on his headphones again. I secretly let out a sigh of relief and decided to go take a shower and sleep instead. It's really boring with him.

  The room has been redecorated. The computer desk is tidy and even the dust behind the computer has been wiped clean. Although the bed hasn't been changed, a new beige-colored bed sheet with dark embroidery flowers has been put on it. The pillowcases are also new, and on the small table beside it, there's a vase holding a large bouquet of roses, making the room feel much warmer instantly.

  The corners of my lips slowly rose, and it turned out that Su Haicheng, a man like that, would also send me flowers.

  Just as I stood still in front of the door, he had somehow appeared behind me. His chest was pressed against my back, giving a very close feeling.

  "Do you like it?" he asked.

  "Ah?! I like it." I replied.

  "Actually, I wanted to buy that kind of thing that is colorful when you pull it up, what's it called, and hang it on the ceiling. In our unit, if a military wife comes for the first time, the soldiers will all do this. Clean up the room, change into new bedding, put out flowers, now it's just missing that thing hanging from the ceiling."

  I heard a black line appearing on my forehead: "No, it's fine like this." Actually, I wanted to say that if it were really like that, wouldn't it be too tacky. But in the army, they sometimes use such simple things to express respect and welcome for military wives. This should be some kind of traditional thing, so I don't dare criticize anything, so just say it like this.

  He fell silent, and I knew he wouldn't speak. So I turned around, tiptoed, and pecked at his cheek. Last time I kissed him, he dodged it, and I had a shadow in my heart. "It's fine this way. Thank you, Su Haicheng."

  He lightly bit his lower lip, as if he wanted to say something, but hadn't said it yet. He simply turned around and returned to the listening device, putting on the headphones.

  As I was holding clothes and walking towards the bathroom, he suddenly blurted out: "Sorry to trouble you, 41."

  My footsteps froze on the way to the bathroom, and my lips curled up. This man is really good.

  The next morning, I went with Ah Tian to Mom's health center.

  As we walked into the main entrance, the beautiful woman at the front desk stood up to greet us. Why is she a natural beauty? Other people's receptionists are all made-up, but theirs isn't. I think many pregnant mothers and breastfeeding mothers don't wear makeup for their children. If they came here and saw one pretty made-up woman after another, it would be infuriating. Sometimes women just can't help comparing themselves to others.

  The beautiful woman handed over the form and said: "You two fill out a questionnaire first. It's okay to apply for a card here, you can understand it first."

  As I was about to write with my pen, the beauty asked: "How long have you two been married and wanted a child?"
