Cheng Jiu had been thinking all day about what Xin Gan and Cheng's father would talk about, which made him somewhat absent-minded. However, he quickly regained control of his emotions. When he went to the hospital for a follow-up checkup, he was still escorted there by Meng Shenchang.
Last night, when Captain Meng saw Cheng Jiu's father there, he didn't mention his injury in person because he seemed fine. But the next day, he seized the opportunity to escort him to the hospital for a check-up.
Under the watchful eyes of Minister Meng, Cheng Jiu obediently cooperated with the doctor's examination. After a series of complicated tests, the doctor said there was no problem. Only then did Minister Meng feel relieved. He patted the back of his head again and said, "Behave yourself. Don't play all these tricks on me. If you don't take good care of your life, there will be one more person crying."
What he said was pungent and sweet.
Cheng Jiu smiled easily and said, "I'm lucky."
Meng Shen made a long cut.
The two walked out of the hospital one in front and the other behind. Cheng Jiu was about to drive when he was stopped by Meng Shenchang. He asked, "How many of those men from Yu Tou have been caught?"
There are still a few that haven't been caught.
"You have to act quickly. If you don't catch these people sooner, they'll cause trouble and stir up trouble." "
Cheng Jiu said he knew and would continue to follow up.
Meng Shanchang turned into the driver's seat, meaning that he wanted to drive by himself.
Cheng Jiu didn't stop him either and got into the passenger seat.
Commander Meng also asked him, "Are you sure you've settled down?" What does that girl's family do?
"From a family of scholars, both my parents are engaged in literary and artistic creation."
Then when will you get the marriage report?
Meng Shenchang asked a question, and the answer he got made him feel at ease. They were going to get married and had to submit a marriage report. The woman's family had to be reviewed, and only if there were no issues could it be approved.
The requirements are quite strict.
But Cheng Jiu didn't give a specific time. Meng Can gave him a long glance and said, "What's wrong? Didn't you say everything was confirmed?"
Cheng Jiu said, "I'll do it as soon as possible."
"Don't cause any trouble. If you've really made up your mind, just settle it first. Don't wait until she leaves with others before you cry. You'll regret it too late." "
Cheng Jiu tugged at the corner of his mouth, his expression carrying a hint of contempt. He was convinced that such a day would never come and that he would not allow such a thing to happen.
...
Cheng Jiu returned to the family compound and called Cheng's father in advance. Cheng's father said that he would come back only after he had finished his meal.
Cheng Jiu paused in his hand as he closed the door and asked, "You cook?"
How could that be?
Who's that?
"Cafeteria."
Cheng Jiu: "..."
Cheng's father stayed in the family compound at night. A room was temporarily tidied up.
At around ten o 'clock in the evening, Cheng Jiu knocked on the door. Xin Gan opened it. She had just taken a bath and the redness and swelling on her face had not subsided much. She was wearing pajamas. It was cold at night and she had also put on a coat.
It seems that the whole body still gives off the fragrance of body wash.
Cheng Jiu swallowed hard and said, "Can I go in?"
Xin Gan nodded and stepped aside to let him in.
Cheng Jiu entered the room and asked, "What did my dad say to you?"
"Nothing much."
"Nothing?"
Xin Gan thought for a moment and said, "When you were a child, you climbed trees to pick bird eggs, went into the river to catch fish, and wet your pants and the bed."
Cheng Jiu: "..." He turned around, licked his teeth and smiled, "How come I didn't know I played with these when I was a child?"
I was just talking nonsense. Xin Gan closed the door and asked, "Would you like some water?"
"No need. I'll leave in a moment."
Xin Gan keenly sensed that his "leaving" was not that simple. "Where are you going?"
Cheng Jiu said, "It will take about ten days to take action."
"..."
About ten days?
Then what about her?
Xin Gan pursed the corners of her lips and suddenly looked at him seriously, her pupils fixed on him.
Cheng Jiu said, "My dad will stay for a few days and then leave. Just deal with it casually. If there's anything, just tell Xiao Shi."
Xin Gan shook hands, then let go, hanging to one side of her body. "Are you just going through the motions with me?"
Cheng Jiu gave a mischievous smile and said in a flirtatious tone, "Why did I just go through the motions with you?"
"We agreed that when Uncle leaves, I can leave too..."
Cheng Jiu looked down at her, his eyes dull and unclear, his thin lips pursed into a thin line. "Xin Gan, do you just want to leave like this?"
"Yes."
Cheng Jiu took a deep breath, trying to stop himself from speaking so coldly. "Are you really angry with me?"
Xin Gan didn't like the feeling of being manipulated by him. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on to her psychological defense, so she repeatedly reminded herself of her original intention and not to forget it. Even though she had to admit that Cheng Jiu did have some aspects that caught her attention.
But such men are very troublesome. Once you get involved with them, it's hard to get out easily.
Today during the day, when Cheng's father was chatting with her about Cheng Jiu's childhood, she began to have a change in her opinion of him and her emotions gradually spread. She even took the initiative to ask Cheng's father about Cheng Jiu's childhood. Of course, after asking, she regretted it.
So it's better to stay away from the very beginning, avoid contact and don't give it a chance.
Moreover, there was Jiang Tang watching greedily. She didn't want to get into trouble.
Cheng Jiu didn't understand her convoluted thoughts. His intuition was that she must have wanted to distance herself from him because of He Cheng.
He Chuan said it didn't matter, but seeing her like this, it wasn't that she didn't matter; it was that there was a connection, and that's why she wanted to leave.
Xin Gan said, "I didn't mean that."
Her cold attitude made Cheng Jiu hold his breath. Without saying a word, he left.
Xin Gan was also exhausted and plopped down on the sofa. She held her chest and felt a bit uncomfortable.
Xiao Shi passed by the training ground and saw someone running from afar. The figure he saw by the street lamp was Cheng Jiu's. He was watching from the side and counting how many kilometers Cheng Jiu had run.
Cheng Jiu seemed not to be tired at all. He didn't know how long he had been running. He broke out in a sweat before stopping.
Xiao Shi took the opportunity to move closer and said with a cheeky smile, "Brother Jiu, are you running alone at night?"
Cheng Jiu glanced at him.
Brother Jiu, what are you doing? So hot-tempered?
Cheng Jiu finally spoke up: "I look hot?" "
"Vigorous, extremely vigorous, burning fiercely, just like those men whose desires are not fulfilled."
"..."
Xiao Shi knew he had said the wrong thing, but he still leaned forward, not afraid of death, and said, "Brother Jiu, you should take good care of yourself and don't ruin yourself."
Cheng Jiu cursed, "Go back to sleep."
Jiang Tang was also watching from afar. The first thing she did when she returned to the team was to look for Cheng Jiu. She asked others about his whereabouts and was told that Cheng Jiu had brought back a woman who had moved into the family compound.
Living in a family compound is no small matter; it's a big one.
In the evening, Minister Meng had a talk with Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang is a clerical worker and doesn't have to go out on missions. She is a girl and clerical work is very easy. She just needs to be on duty in the military. Besides, her position is relatively laid-back and there aren't that many important things to do.
What Director Meng meant was that if she was transferred to a better position, he could help her apply for it. As long as she remained in the same position, there would be no challenge.
Jiang Tang lowered her head and understood what Director Meng meant. She asked directly, "Director Meng, do you think I will affect Cheng Jiu?"
Meng Canchang didn't expect a girl like her to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a few seconds and said, "That's not what I meant."
