Chapter 407 - 10: Hero Saves the Beauty and Sets the Wedding Date
Shi Suifeng’s silence instead made Zhao Weihong more confident.
Zhao Weihong smiled, trying hard to make a graceful posture: "Brother Shi, I’m here to introduce myself because I really fancy..."
The words changed at her lips: "I like you, I want to create a family with you."
Chu River listened in the yard, his mouth involuntarily opened wide.
— Who would have thought, Shi Suifeng is actually so popular!
As expected of me!
She thought happily: I’m truly perceptive!
Checking her own pocket again, the 88 yuan betrothal gift and her own 11 yuan private savings were all there, secure!
She was calm, and Shi Suifeng’s response was also calm: "Comrade Zhao, we hardly met before, after all, I came home less often these years — so how did you come to like me?"
Zhao Weihong pulled out a somewhat story-laden smile: "Brother Shi..."
Her voice lowered: "I’m sorry, I just... I secretly saw you once, and never forgot. I heard my auntie saying to find you a wife, and I didn’t want to leave regrets in my heart."
"Brother Shi, I want to be with you, I’m not afraid of any hardships."
The young girl’s eyes were misty with tears, cheeks slightly red, a sincere love pouring towards him, coupled with Zhao Weihong’s deliberately groomed face and carefully matched clothes...
Any man would feel somewhat proud and unable to harden his heart.
After all, who could resent a young girl’s earnest confession?
...
This was also one of Zhao Weihong’s tricks.
That’s right, as someone reborn, she naturally had many plans.
After all, the last life, they were said to be married, but actually nothing happened. After marriage, he returned to the army, and with the army for a month was basically spent dealing with those three unruly kids. To say if there was any understanding of him...
Zhao Weihong could not remember.
After all, she was 59 in the last life! Having lived on Hong Kong Island for so many years, if not for seeing Shi Suifeng later, whose demeanor and appearance hadn’t changed much despite age, she would not have remembered.
At this point, she could only probe from a man’s weaknesses.
In the last life on Hong Kong Island, after a brief period of illegal work, she lived well with her youth and beauty. Unfortunately, men’s nature is cheap, a younger and prettier high school girl marked him with admiration and true love, which led to her breaking up with her boyfriend...
Later Zhao Weihong traveled back and forth, getting a good insight into women’s tactics.
At this point, dealing with a primitive time and unexposed Shi Suifeng, she naturally thought it was in the bag.
...
However, the seemingly assured Shi Suifeng frowned:
"Isn’t this being a rogue?"
"I don’t even know who you are, coming up and talking about marriage, comrade, put yourself in my shoes, how would you feel?"
Zhao Weihong paused, her thoughts momentarily led astray, imagining herself walking glamorously on the bustling streets of Hong Kong Island, a man suddenly rushing out saying he loves her and wants to marry her...
Yikes!
This is crazy — ptooey ptooey ptooey, Zhao Weihong came back to her senses, this is clearly not the same thing, men and women can be the same?!
Yet, likely in Shi Suifeng’s eyes, men and women were indeed the same.
His face stern, a righteous aura surged: "Seeing me once and wanting to marry me, and specially coming to say so in front of me... Comrade, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink."
"Discussing marriage with someone you have no impression of is a rogue mindset. I hope you take this as a warning, don’t make such mistakes next time."
As expected of Shi Suifeng, with just a few words, he directly blocked most of Zhao Weihong’s plans.
Makes her love at first sight, literary youth, virtuous housewife, passionate youth... all impossible.
Zhao Weihong’s face turning red and white, never would she have thought, reborn, she couldn’t even handle an ordinary soldier.
Simply a disgraceful humiliation!
...
Just then, the sound of the shift ending echoed.
Chu River was a bit anxious — she had to hurry back, or else it’s likely the Old Chu Family might have a small feast, which she wouldn’t get to eat.
Shi Suifeng slightly moved a brow, slightly agitated — if Little He doesn’t leave soon, in case someone finds out, his plan would have to change.
So he said coldly: "Comrade, could it be that you’re deliberately avoiding collective labor, coming during work hours, finding excuses to slack off."
Then snorted: "Sorry. I can’t be with someone with incorrect political thoughts like you."
Incorrect political thoughts?!
In this era, who dares to casually throw such a label on themselves? But Zhao Weihong had long lost impression of this, reborn she vaguely remembered, but some subconscious thoughts can’t be hidden.
