Chapter 239
The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s
Wen Rugui was about to head upstairs with the dried chrysanthemum when Old Mr. Wen asked, âHave you cleared everything up with Miss Young Grass yet?â
Wen Rugui said nothing.It wasnât difficult for Old Mr. Wen to guess the situation from that reaction. âYou little jerk. You just continue to eat and take from her. Arenât you ashamed that you owe Young Grass so much by now? The only way that you can repay her is to marry her!âââ¦â¦âWen Rugui, who was on his way upstairs, stopped in his tracks and almost missed a step when he heard Old Mr. Wenâs absurd proposition.After Wen Rugui had retired upstairs, Old Mr. Wen had Uncle Zong re-fry the sweet and crispy taros.Uncle Zong was about to start eating when Old Mr. Wen stopped him and said in a caring voice, âXiao Zong, the doctor said that you have high blood sugar. You shouldnât have more than one.âUncle Zong, ââ¦â¦.âCommander, you were the one with high blood sugar!Wen Rugui laid down in bed after he had taken a shower. Staring at the ceiling, he did not feel sleepy at all.He kept on thinking about Old Mr. Wenâs words earlier. You are fond of Young GrassâFond of.â He repeated the two words in his mind over and over again.Tong Xueluâs smiling face popped into his head immediately, and his heart started pounding uncontrollably.He returned to the base the next day.He had just sat down when Zhou Yan came over. âYou took more time off?âWen Rugui replied casually, âI had something going on at home.âZhou Yan walked inside and happened to notice the dried chrysanthemum on his table. âOh, awesome. My throat has been feeling scratchy for the last couple of days. I can use some of those.âHe was just about to take some, but before he could reach them, the dried chrysanthemum was taken away by Wen Rugui and locked into the cabinet.? ? ?Confused and cautious, Zhou Yan said, âRugui, Iâve noticed that you have been acting strangely as of late. Never mind that you have been taking time off left and right, but you have also become very petty.âThey were only talking about some dried chrysanthemums. Why did he need to lock them up in the cabinet??Wen Rugui pulled out the scaphium affine from an unlocked cabinet and handed it over to him. âScaphium affine is more effective. Take these.âNow that Zhou Yan had the scaphium affine, he no longer cared about the dried chrysanthemums. He was just about to take off when Wen Rugui stopped him..âZhou Yan, how did you know that you liked your girlfriend?âZhou Yan looked shocked. âRugui, why are you asking? Do you have a girlfriend?âWen Rugui blinked at him blankly and said, âNo. I have a friend who isnât sure whether he likes a girl or not, so he had me ask you for him.âZhou Yanâs mouth cracked open. âThen you are asking the right person! That being said, how is your friend so slow that he doesnât even know if he likes the girl or not?âHmm. Nevermind! Iâll tell you. When you like someone, you would want to see her all the time. Youâd think about doing whatâs best for them all the time. If she smiles, youâd feel happier than everyone else. If they are in trouble, you would feel very anxious and wish you could take care of everything for her!âWen Ruguiâs hand that was carrying a ceramic mug trembled that he almost spilled the water.He still looked nonchalant as usual, but there was a storm raging inside him.He was experiencing everything that Zhou Yan was talking about!So he was fond of Comrade Tong!Seeing that Wen Rugui was dazed, Zhou Yan snapped his fingers in front of his face. âHello? Earth to Wen Rugui. Do you have any other questions?âWen Rugui recollected himself, but he couldnât hide the tips of his ears, which slightly turned red. âHow did you and your girlfriend make your relationship official?âZhou Yan was smiling from ear to ear. âOh, thatâs easy. I confessed. You just need to say it out loud. Girls are normally shier, so we, as men, must be more direct!âZhou Yan emotionally played the role of an experienced relationship consultant for once. Satisfied, he finally took off with his scaphium affine after making sure that Wen Rugui had no more questions.
