Chapter 216 - 216 215 Scattering Happy Dog Food (10)

Chapter 216: Chapter 215: Scattering Happy Dog Food (10) Chapter 216: Chapter 215: Scattering Happy Dog Food (10) Qu Guo’an saw someone humming a tune merrily, looking like a cat that had stolen some fish, and couldn’t help teasing him.

“Bullying the young girl, what kind of man does that make you? Be careful not to scare her away.”

“Our Su Shu is not such a timid girl.”

“Tsk tsk, you barely started and she’s already ‘your girl’? Why don’t you fly to the sky then?”

“Look, jealous, aren’t you?”

“Jealous of you my ass!”

…

Although Tang Zelin hadn’t stated if he would continue to “scare” her like before.

But the next morning, Su Shu woke up reflexively at the same time and went to open the door to see if he had come.

When there was no one outside the door, she finally sighed in relief.

Just as she was about to turn around, a familiar voice came from beside her.

“Waiting for me?” He seemed quite pleased.

Su Shu turned around, inevitably surprised.

Usually, it was just Tang Zelin who came over, but this time, Guard Guozi was also following him.

“What’s this?”

She cleverly avoided the question he had just asked.

A hint of amusement flashed in the man’s eyes as he smiled and said, “I took Guozi for a hike to see the scenery, just came down from the mountain.”

“Sister-in-law, hello!” Guozi, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, called out with a laugh from behind.

Su Shu’s lips twitched slightly, “Um… hello, you as well.”

Early in the morning, everyone else was still in deep sleep, the mountain path was quiet and hardly anyone was out for morning exercises. Tang Zelin noticed she was lightly dressed and worried she might catch a cold.

“We’re heading back to the unit after descending the mountain, you should go back to sleep. The fog is thick this morning, don’t catch a cold.”

“Alright, you must be going down to eat breakfast then.”

“Right.” Tang Zelin was about to leave, then suddenly stopped, turning back to ask, “What did you have for breakfast?”

“Porridge,” Su Shu answered, puzzled.

Tang Zelin nodded understandingly, then turned away, “Guozi, let’s go.”

“Yes, Captain, bye sister-in-law.” Guozi waved cheerfully at Su Shu.

Su Shu, somewhat awkward, bid farewell, “Oh, bye, be careful on your way.”

After parting in the early morning, Su Shu didn’t think much of Tang Zelin’s words.

However, by evening, someone came up the mountain carrying his own dinner pot.

Su Shu, clueless, “What are you doing here?”

“Scrounging a meal!”

“Scrounging…” Su Shu was speechless, “Is the army skimping on the group captain’s meals?”

As Tang Zelin smelled the fragrance of the food and entered the house, he talked as he walked toward the kitchen counter, “That wouldn’t be right. I let Old Qu have my portion.”

Su Shu stood by the door, hesitating whether to close it or leave it open. Tang Zelin had just barged in uninvited; would that look bad?

On the other side, as Tang Zelin lifted the lid of the pot, he glanced casually and knew what she was worried about. His lips curled up slightly with a light smile.

“Afraid people might misunderstand?”

Su Shu, holding the door frame, looked at him.

“When you arrived, did many people see you?”

Tang Zelin replied, “Many! Quite a few people even greeted me.”

Su Shu frowned: “…”

So, could she still close the door?

“Don’t just stand there, come and eat.”

Tang Zelin, having already set all the bowls and chopsticks on the small table, enthusiastically called Su Shu and Xiao’ai.

Unfortunately, the Su Family didn’t have an extra stool for him; consequently, the mighty group captain simply sat on the floor, using the small table Luo Gang had made for Su Shu at the settlement site.

Just as Su Shu was about to leave the door as it was, a neighbor happened to pass by outside. Through the wide-open door, they immediately saw Tang Zelin, dressed in civilian clothes, sitting there.

“Oh? Isn’t that Captain Tang? Hey, hello Captain Tang!” the enthusiastic old lady waved vigorously to greet him.
