Chapter 940 The Honest Girl Who Went Crazy (15)
This was Mu Zhou's first time eating hot pot.
After being coated in sesame sauce, she realized for the first time that vegetables tasted even better than meat.
Lu Qingzhi sat opposite her, watching her eat silently with her head down, and suddenly felt a little itchy to eat as well.
He felt that Mu Zhou was his muse.
Otherwise, why would he feel the urge to draw her anytime, anywhere?
He was lost in thought when suddenly, a sinister and chilling gaze fell upon him.
That gaze felt so real, it sent chills down his spine.
He subconsciously looked up at the man next to Mu Zhou.
The man only met his gaze for a moment before calmly looking away and placing a piece of meat into Mu Zhou's bowl.
Mu Zhou ate it quickly.
He continued to boil the vegetables and patiently placed them into her bowl.
Mu Zhou continued eating, one bite after another.
They looked extremely satisfied.
Lu Qingzhi suddenly felt that his judgment might be wrong.
The relationship between the two didn't seem to be what he had imagined.
Feeling down and uneasy, he lowered his eyes and lost his appetite.
After finishing his meal, he bid a dejected farewell to Mu Zhou and left alone.
Mu Zhou didn't notice Lu Qingzhi's disappointed mood. She touched her belly, looked at the park not far away, and said to Gu Huaiyuan:
"Shall we go for a walk over there before going home?"
Seeing her carefree attitude, Gu Huaiyuan's lingering displeasure dissipated.
Well, it's normal that she doesn't have that many hidden thoughts and can't see through Lu Qingzhi's despicable intentions.
He nodded, a rare smile appearing on his face.
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Mu Zhou didn't leave. She suddenly stood in front of Gu Huaiyuan, looking up at him:
"Second Brother Gu, you look so handsome when you smile."
"……Shut up."
After speaking coldly, Gu Huaiyuan quickly left, not letting her see the faint blush rising on his cheeks.

With nothing else to do, Mu Zhou crocheted all the yarn that Sister Yan had given him into kittens, puppies, and pigs.
She gave a few to Sister Yan's children, and took the rest to school, where she gave them to Teacher Xu and a few familiar classmates.
After being given and given away, only two puppies remained, one pink and one blue.
I'll keep the blue Mu Zhou for myself, and give the pink one to Gu Huaiyuan.
He returned home a little late that day.
Before Mu Zhou could hand him the item, he said:
"I have a mission from above, and I have to leave today. I don't know when I'll be back."
Actually, he didn't have to come back; he could have just made a phone call.
But he still returned weary from his journey and told Mu Zhou in person.
This was the first time Mu Zhou had experienced something like this, and she was a little flustered. She looked down at the pink puppy in her hand and subconsciously put it into his hand.
"The little dog that will keep you safe is one I knitted myself."
Gu Huaiyuan was holding the fluffy thing in his hand when he looked up and saw the little blue dog on her handbag next to him.
They seem to be a pair.
Something was churning in his chest.
In the end, he only said one sentence:
"I go first."
"Yes, Second Brother Gu, I'll wait for you to come back."
Mu Zhou followed behind him all the way to the front door, where Gu Huaiyuan turned around and blocked her way:
"Close the door, go back to eat, go to bed early, and if you need anything, you can ask the neighbors or Gu Huaiwei."
"Yes, Second Brother Gu, you don't need to worry about me."
Mu Zhou nodded vigorously and closed the door in front of him.
But this time she didn't listen. After the footsteps left, she quietly opened the door and peeked out.
She wanted to see his back one more time.
Unexpectedly, Gu Huaiyuan also suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.
Caught red-handed, Mu Zhou's cheeks flushed, and he quickly shrank back, closing the door again.
Outside the door, Gu Huaiyuan watched Mu Zhou appear suddenly like a little rabbit and then disappear just as quickly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.

After more than three months, the sunflowers finally bore fruit.
The plump sunflower seeds tempted Mu Zhou to crack open a small handful.
Just after he got off work, Gu Huaiwei came to bring him another bag of rice.
“Cousin, I can buy it myself. I’m strong enough to carry it.”
During Gu Huaiyuan's absence, Gu Huaiwei, having received instructions, would visit every few days.
Fans, noodles, and rice are always delivered from time to time.
They don't stay long; they basically just drop off their things and leave, without even leaving a meal for us.
Mu Zhou never dared to ask Gu Huaiyuan where he had gone or when he would return.
She knew these things couldn't be talked about, so she didn't dare ask.
Gu Huaiwei took a small bag of sunflower seeds from her hand, and the aroma immediately filled the air.
These are all stir-fried, which makes them crispier and more fragrant.
After saying thank you, Mu Zhou saw him to the door, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Seeing the expectation on her face, Gu Huaiwei finally said:
"Huaiyuan should be back soon. Everything is fine, don't worry."
The outside world thought that Gu Huaiyuan's unit was going to a neighboring province for disaster relief and would be back in half a month at most.
But in reality, their target is the border.
It was a real battlefield.
That's why this trip took so long.
Fortunately, they are already on their way back.
Upon hearing this, Mu Zhou's eyes lit up instantly.
"Thank you, cousin."

In the evening, Mu Zhou took a shower and sat in the yard drying his hair.
The weather is hot now, so my hair dries quickly.
She was wearing a warm white tank top with wide straps and matching shorts.
Cotton fabric is very comfortable and soft, but pure cotton fabric is also prone to deformation, so it becomes a bit loose after washing a few times.
But Mu Zhou felt that it was more comfortable to wear it this way, so he didn't care.
It's just that the neckline is a bit wide, anyway, there's no one else at home.
She bought these pajamas at the mall.
It was recommended by Teacher Xu when we were shopping together.
She originally thought that she could just get a suit made at a tailor shop, since she could wear it to sleep anyway, and it wouldn't be a big deal.
But once she got it, she couldn't bear to put it down.
Not only is the fabric comfortable, but the design and style are also very attractive.
Whether it's the subtle floral pattern or the ruffles on the tank top and shorts, they all perfectly appeal to Mu Zhou.
So she "reluctantly" accepted it.
A gentle breeze was blowing in the courtyard, softly lifting her long hair.
It wasn't as hot as during the day; the temperature was just right.
Just as Mu Zhou was about to get up and go back to the house, there was a noise outside the door.
She paused, staring intently at the door.
Soon, the door opened, and the tall figure appeared.
The next moment, Mu Zhou ran and pounced into his arms.
"Second Brother Gu, you're back!"
Her bright voice was full of surprise.
Gu Huaiyuan acted before reasoning, instinctively raising his hand to catch her without thinking.
His long arms encircled her waist, holding her firmly in front of him.
Mu Zhou wrapped his arms around his neck, leaned slightly forward, and involuntarily tightened his grip, swallowing hard.
"Well, I'm back."
The familiar voice rang in his ears, and Mu Zhou's nose inexplicably tingled.
She felt a little embarrassed to cry because she missed him so much, so she rubbed against his hard chest, trying to wipe away the tears in her eyes.
Gu Huaiyuan's heart raced as she rubbed against him, and he couldn't help but look down at her.
Her eyes were red, and the tip of her nose was also red.
Now she really looks like a little rabbit.
