Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Do You Believe ?
“Fine, I’ll just accept the watch, considering Chuyi could actually use one,” Xia Chu decided and then earnestly said to Huo Shiqian, “I’ll pick out a gift for you in return.”
“Okay,” he responded very quickly.
Xia Chu tugged at the corner of her mouth.
He couldn’t have planned for this all along, could he?
“But just so we’re clear, Uncle Liberation Army… Ouch!” Her head got knocked, and she glared at him, rubbing her sore spot.
Inside, she rolled her eyes and then cutely said, “Let’s get this straight, Brother Shiqian, I don’t have much money, so I can’t buy any fancy gifts, okay?”
There’s no way it could compare to the value of this designer watch anyway.
“It’s no issue,” Huo Shiqian patted her head and said, “Next ti I write to you, I’ll send so money along, so you can take your ti choosing.”
“…”
She didn’t have enough eye-rolls for this.
“Chuyi, I’m a soldier; I can’t be by your side all the ti,” he paused, a chilly glint flashed through his eyes, “I’ll handle the Xia Family issues before I go.”
Xia Chu faintly sensed a killing vibe.
“No! Don’t bother!” she reacted promptly, grabbing his sleeve with her hand, and earnestly eting his gaze, “Huo Shiqian, let deal with the Xia Family matters by myself. Please?”
She didn’t want him to knock everyone over with a single strike, nor did she want to rely on his help for everything.
“Huo Shiqian, you can trust ; I can handle these matters on my own.” She looked at him with utmost seriousness, “Huo Shiqian, do you trust ?”
Huo Shiqian’s expression was shadowed and inscrutable until he finally tapped her forehead lightly and said, “Call ‘brother.'”
Xia Chu’s expression crumpled.
Uncle Liberation Army, you’re really not playing fair!
But she knew he had agreed.
“Brother Shiqian.” With her eyes curved like crescents, she bead and said, “For the Xia Chengzu matter, just follow the rules, and for everything else, I understand in my own heart.”
“Okay,” Huo Shiqian replied tersely.
Xia Chu glanced at Huo Shiqian’s handso face, unsure if he would actually do as he said.
She had found that once Huo Shiqian wanted to hide what he was thinking, she couldn’t detect a thing.
“Well, that’s that then, Brother Shiqian, I’m heading back now.” Xia Chu opened the car door and stepped out.
This ti, Huo Shiqian didn’t stop her but watched her with a solemn gaze, saying, “Chuyi, rember to write, tell if there’s anything.”
She got the ssage and felt a warmth inside, smiled back, and said, “I got it, Uncle Liberation Army, take care!”
She saluted militarily.
Huo Shiqian stared at her, calling out in a deeper voice, “Chuyi!”
Xia Chu’s smile glead, “Oops, I misspoke, Brother Shiqian, take care!”
Finally, Huo Shiqian shook his head with a slight air of helplessness.
As she alighted from the vehicle, the “crampy” Xiao Wang ran back in high spirits.
“Goodbye, little sister-in-law!” Xiao Wang saluted her, “Please make sure to write to our regint commander; it’s crucial for the peace of mind of all our soldiers to know if we’re living in heaven or hell!”
“Stop that racket!” Huo Shiqian’s low voice ca from the vehicle.
Xia Chu chuckled.
“Thank you, take care, and goodbye little sister-in-law!” After shouting, Xiao Wang hopped into the vehicle.
Watching the green military vehicle fade into the distance, Xia Chu felt very pleased.
Finally, that deity was sent off!
When the car was completely out of sight, she lifted her wrist and took off the watch, examining it from every angle.
Well, you have to admit, it’s a really nice watch.
