This really underestimates her. For her, except for the attitude of those who care about her, it’s none of her business how others treat her. For people who don’t like her, she’s too lazy to bother with them.
"No..." A quick thought struck, and Chuxia looked at Zhou Xikang, "Could it be that there are many girls on Grandma’s side who want to marry Zhou Mikang, and now seeing , they’ll hate to the core?"
"You think I’m that in demand?" Zhou Mikang shook his head with a smile, "Do you think I’m soone so loved by all, that everyone wants a piece of ?"
"It’s not that exaggerated, but to be fair, you are quite in demand. I’m soone who always speaks with conscience, and I definitely won’t belittle others just to elevate myself."
"Co off it; you’re clearly elevating yourself. I’m supposedly in demand, yet I’m busy trying to win you over. Doesn’t that an you’re more in demand than I am? Isn’t that what you’re implying?"
Chuxia widened her eyes dramatically, "Zhou Mikang, you’re really smart, props to you!"
"I’ll take it." Without looking back, Zhou Mikang extended his hand backward, took Chuxia’s hand, and shook it, "Learn to give more complints in the future, don’t always speak in a way that hits people."
Chuxia: "Shaless!"
"If I had any sha, how could I have married you?"
Zhou Xikang: "..." Is this his once-cold brother? Oh my God, he wants to gouge out his eyes and kick them like a ball. Why does each close encounter with this couple refresh his worldview?
If he were to tell his mom about this scene, would she be utterly devastated? Her son, raised for nearly thirty years, is completely tad by a twenty-year-old girl. Is there anything more disheartening?
"If you dare go tell Mom any nonsense, you’ll no longer be my brother!" Zhou Mikang warned before Zhou Xikang could even figure anything out. A brother knows his brother best.
"Are you worried Mom would get jealous?" Zhou Xikang started to stir up trouble, glancing slyly at Chuxia’s expression as he spoke.
"Are you just trying to cause chaos?" Zhou Mikang confidently waved Chuxia over, "Tell Big Brother what you’re thinking."
"I don’t feel like bothering with either of you." Chuxia turned her head toward the car window, "A pair of boring and childish brothers."
Zhou Mikang: "..."
Zhou Xikang: "..."
Were they just dissed?
"Uncle Su?" Zhou Xikang saw a figure on the road, nudging Zhou Mikang, "Isn’t that Su Weimin?"
"Yeah." Zhou Mikang nodded, "Don’t bother with him. Do you think he’s here for no reason? He’s clearly regretting his own decision, purposefully doing this kind of thing."
"You an he’s regretting proposing to divorce Yao Lii?"
"Is that even a question?" Zhou Mikang curled his lips, "Just watch, when we co out of Grandma’s house, he’ll surely be by the car waiting. If I lose, Big Brother can make any demand of ."
"I’m not betting with you. If you win, won’t you demand sothing from instead?" Zhou Xikang snorted, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. Let tell you, no way."
"What secret language are you two speaking?" Chuxia looked puzzled at the two, then focused on Zhou Mikang, "Is there sothing you’re hiding from ? We agreed to be honest."
"Big Brother got transferred to the dical preparation team."
With just that one sentence from Zhou Mikang, Chuxia imdiately understood.
What they call the dical preparation team is actually a pre-war dical team. To put it simply, it’s for going to the front lines one day. Now, so higher-ups still think that the war won’t happen, but because of Chuxia’s intuition, Zhou Mikang knows this is an unavoidable war, so of course, he doesn’t want Zhou Xikang involved too.
If both brothers go to the front lines, how will Lin Yanqiu manage at ho?
But the problem is that Zhou Xikang doesn’t know Zhou Mikang’s worry yet. He made this decision probably hoping to make more career progress rather than always being compared to his brother, and then the gap between them widens more and more.
Especially after Yu Tao got pregnant, Zhou Xikang’s desire to achieve sothing great beca stronger and stronger, which could be seen from his recent work attitude.
Zhou Mikang had advised him a few tis, but he wouldn’t listen, so now, he doesn’t want to give Zhou Mikang the chance to directly strip him of the right to join the dical team.
Regarding this matter, Chuxia wasn’t very aware, so she deliberately played dumb: "So big brother is going to be my direct leader. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t use connections just because Big Brother is in the dical team, making things difficult for him."
"Who said you were going to the dical team?" Zhou Mikang gave her a glare, "You just stay in the hospital and study with peace of mind."
Chuxia was slightly stunned, then realized she subconsciously thought everyone in her batch would join the pre-war dical team, yet she ignored that with the Zhou family’s influence, she might not have to participate.
Right, Zhou Mikang had promised not to interfere with her work before, so why is his attitude different now? No way, she must give him face in front of others, but she has to have a good talk with him afterward.
Thinking this, Chuxia rolled her eyes subtly and changed the subject. However, since the topic of the pre-war dical team was brought up, everyone seed a bit out of sorts, making their conversation sporadic until they arrived outside the Lin Family’s gate.
The thick layer of firecracker debris indicated last night’s excitent.
Zhou Mikang got out of the car and quietly explained to Chuxia, "There’s always been this custom at Grandma’s house; no cleaning before the third day, the thicker the debris, the more prosperous the coming year."
"I know many places in the north have this custom, but it usually involves not cleaning from the first day until the third day. This is indeed the first ti I’m hearing such a thing."
Perhaps hearing the sound of the car outside, a young man walked out, saw Zhou Mikang and Zhou Xikang, just nodded expressionlessly, and then turned around and went back in.
Chuxia finally realized the point of Zhou Xikang’s earlier buildup. So, they’re really not welco at the Lin Family! But, it’s understandable; many people are like that, always thinking that helping is a given, and not helping is heartless and unjust...
