Chapter 67: Quarreling and Flirting

  Zhou Xiuying and Li Zhen didn't make it to the last step, but Zhou Xiuying had already recognized him.

  Even if Zhou Xiuying could only watch and not eat, Li Zhen couldn't ignore her. Especially when Li Zhen was having a good time at the consulate, while Zhou Xiuying waited for him in the hall late at night, this showed that he cared about Li Zhen, but also didn't want to disappoint Zhou Xiuying's kindness. Li Zhen walked quickly into the backyard and went out of Zhou Xiuying's house.

  Bang! Bang!

  A knock at the door was heard, and Li Zhen said softly: "Xiu Ying, it's me."

  Zhou Xiuying sat on the bed, muttering to herself with a pouting cherry mouth, her pretty face revealing an indignant expression. At this moment, Zhou Xiuying was clearly in a little girl's pose, completely incompatible with her usual female general and strong woman image. If she were seen by the female soldiers under her command, they would definitely be petrified and stunned by Zhou Xiuying's demeanor.

  Zhou Xiuying hummed twice and said in a bad tone: "I've already slept, you can go."

  Li Zhen said: "I'm standing outside the door, if you don't open it, I'll just wait outside. Now that it's freezing cold, if I catch a chill, it's all your fault."

  Zhou Xiuying pouted and said: "You got a cold, serves you right. See if you dare to go to that brothel again."

  Li Zhen said with an innocent expression and a sincere tone, "Miss, it's already November, almost December. I'm freezing to the point of shivering, please open the door quickly. If you don't come out soon, I'll really turn into an ice stick."

  Zhou Xiuying pinched her skirt and said loudly: "Who are you fooling? I don't believe you."

  "It's really starting to snow now, it's so cold!"

  Outside the house, the cold wind howled, but not a single snowflake was seen. It's just that this guy opened his eyes and talked nonsense. However, the people inside the house believed it. Zhou Xiuying was afraid that Li Zhen would catch a chill, and under her plump buttocks, it seemed like a steel needle had been placed, and with a "ding" sound, she jumped up and walked quickly to the door, opening it.

  Zhou Xiuying opened the door with both hands and blocked the open gap with her body.

  Li Zhen stood outside the house, waiting for Zhou Xiuying to open the door. The moment he saw the door open, Li Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up and he rushed forward, ready to enter the house.

  "Bang!"

  The body collided, but it collided with Zhou Xiuying's body.

  The moment their skin touched, a faint body scent lingered on Li Zhen's nose tip, making his heart flutter. Especially with Zhou Xiuying's plump and soft physique, it was even more comfortable, and Li Zhen couldn't help but secretly sigh in delight. Blocked outside, Li Zhen smiled awkwardly and said, "Xiuying, it's very cold, let's go inside to talk."

  Zhou Xiuying smiled and asked: "General Li, has it snowed?"

  Li Zhen thoughtlessly patted his chest and said, "It's snowing, it's really snowing. Alas, you don't care about me, my heart is already covered in frost, and the snow has been falling heavily for a long time."

  Zhou Xiuying's face turned red, and her eyes were a bit evasive.

  The person in front of her was resolute and decisive when fighting, with strong means, but now she is glib and eloquent, chatting and laughing in front of her, making Zhou Xiuying's heart feel a little warm.

  At least, Li had him in his heart.

  Zhou Xiuying thought of the two foreign girls who followed Li Zhen back, with their delicate and weak appearance, especially the twin sisters who looked exactly alike. They seemed to be lambs waiting to be slaughtered by Li Zhen. As soon as this idea emerged in her mind, Zhou Xiuying's sense of injustice surged up again, and her face turned serious and cold.

  "Clang!"

  Zhou Xiuying clapped her hands together and the door closed, blocking Li Zhen outside.

  Li Zhen stood outside the door, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears.

  "What a thorny rose she is!" Li Zhen sighed inwardly, then thought for a moment and said loudly, "Xiuying, it's so cold outside, hurry up and open the door, or I'll really freeze to death."

  "Go back, go back and accompany your foreign woman."

  Li Zhen said this woman's heart is too small, but continued: "You don't open the door, I'll just stand outside."

  "Suit yourself."

  "If you don't open the door, I'll leave."

  Zhou Xiuying said, "You can go, I don't need your hypocritical comfort." In fact, the anger in Zhou Xiuying's heart had almost dissipated. Especially since Li Zhen came to comfort her so late at night, Zhou Xiuying was very moved.

  "If he insists again, I'll open the door."

  Zhou Xiuying thought in her heart and waited for Li Zhen's response.

  Just as Zhou Xiuying had made up her mind and was ready to take advantage of the situation, she suddenly found that outside the house it was quiet again, without a single sound. Zhou Xiuying's eyes rolled over, and she said with a hum: "Li Zhen, you can go, go accompany your foreign woman, I don't want you to accompany me." After her words fell, the outside of the house was still quiet, without any sound.

  Has he left already?

  Zhou Xiuying originally thought Li Zhen would stay outside the door, but suddenly felt that Li Zhen had already left.

  Panic! Self-blame!

  At this moment, Zhou Xiuying felt a little regretful again.

  Zhou Xiuying got up from the bed, walked quietly to the door, and listened carefully. The more she listened, the uglier Zhou Xiuying's face became, because there was really no movement outside the house.

  "Look, now he's gone, you're happy. If I had known it would be like this, why bother in the first place?"

  Zhou Xiuying muttered to herself and began to blame herself. If she hadn't been so petty and had forgiven Li Zhen earlier, things wouldn't be so awkward now.

  "Crack!"

  Zhou Xiuying sighed and opened the door.

  "Ah!"

  Zhou Xiuying let out a cry of surprise, her face revealing a look of astonishment.

  At the entrance, a smiling face appeared in front of Zhou Xiuying. The person in front of her was surprisingly Li Zhen. At this moment, Zhou Xiuying felt warm and happy, thinking that she had been completely filled with Li Zhen. Zhou Xiuying was delighted, but also a little angry, not expecting Li Zhen to deliberately tease her.

  When Zhou Xiuying was about to speak, Li Zhen chuckled twice and slipped into the house, moved a chair over and sat down, saying: "Xiuying, it's really cold outside, why don't you hug me and warm me up?"

  Zhou Xiuying slammed the door shut and huffed: "You wish!"

  Zhou Xiuying returned to the bedside, sat down along the edge of the bed, her long and slender legs gently swaying back and forth. Her face was also slightly flushed with shyness, her heart beating rapidly, feeling a bit at a loss for what to do with her hands and feet.

  The tough female general is also gentle as water, shy and infinite.

  Li Zhen still had to explain things about Alice and Gu Yili, otherwise it would be hard to resolve this matter.

  Li Zhen said, "Xiuying, the two foreign girls I brought back today were actually forced on me by British Consul Ari, they're not what I wanted." He then changed the subject and told Alice and Guli's life stories, trying to make them sound as pitiful as possible, until even Zhou Xiuying's eyes turned red.

  Zhou Xiuying rubbed her sour eyes and sighed: "Although these two foreign women are a bit improper, somewhat flirtatious, but being sold to people as domestic slaves is still very pitiful."

  Li Zhen was sweating profusely, fortunately he didn't mention taking a bath, otherwise it would be even harder to resolve.
