Chapter 1762: Faint Fragrance Lingering (1)
“Zimo, wait a minute!”
Liang Jing’s voice was heard, “Your father will be home tonight. You should come back. Mother will make your favorite food for you.”
Was his father coming back?
Zhou Zimo paused for a moment, but his tensed expression eased up a little. “Alright, I’ll go home after work.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and put it back. With one hand supporting the corner of the table, he rubbed his slightly swollen eyebrows tiredly. He took a deep breath and looked out of the window.
“Master, are you okay?”
Lian Ziyao noticed that Zhou Zimo was not in a good condition, so he carefully asked with concern.
Zhou Zimo waved his hand and slowly walked over the table to sit in an office chair at the side. He replied, “I’m fine. How’s the investigation going?”
As he said that, he also took a sip of tea from the side.
“We’ve got it. I was just about to give it to you!”
As Lian Ziyao spoke, he quickly took out a folder from his briefcase and handed it to Zhou Zimo, “Master, this is the general situation of Officer Qin su over the past few years, as well as her recent situation. Chief Qin has actually given her quite a bit of pressure. She seems to be planning to submit her application recently and wants to be transferred to the southwest border. I think she also wants to avoid these disturbances.”
Lian Ziyao guessed.
Zhou Zimo received it very quickly and flipped through it carefully.
The concentrated gaze in his black eyes was naturally very focused. He carefully looked through the doc.u.ments. After a long while, he closed them. However, the expression in his eyes became somewhat complicated.
“Back then, Officer Qin had the opportunity to be promoted to the special training zone. The people who came out from there are usually people who have risen to great heights. I think that it’s also because of the injuries on her hands that she missed this opportunity. Otherwise, I’m afraid that she wouldn’t be at this level now.”
As Lian Ziyao spoke, his tone was a little regretful. Zhou Zimo also did not feel good hearing that.
“Officer Qin has been working in the military camp for the past few years and rarely goes home. Also, two years ago, she dated a comrade in the same camp for a period of time. But in the end, because the other party felt that he was not worthy of Officer Qin, the relations.h.i.+p ended without a hitch. Officer Qin’s reaction was very calm and did not urge him to stay. However, the person later came back to look for Officer Qin, but Officer Qin did not see him. Instead, she followed the orders of her superior and transferred back to City Z.”
Lian Ziyao said simply. As he spoke, he carefully glanced at Zhou Zimo. Seeing that there was not much change in his expression, he then heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “Oh right, there is also the information of that man attached at the back.”
Hearing this, Zhou Zimo’s handsome face was extremely indifferent. He flipped to the last page of the doc.u.ment and roughly glanced at the information. After that, he said disdainfully, “How unambitious, it’s right that she doesn’t care!”
“If you’re someone who looks down on yourself to begin with, what qualifications do you have to have her? As expected, she has never disappointed me.”
When Zhou Zimo said the last sentence, a rare look of joy appeared on his face. However, Lian Ziyao could actually catch a trace of faint antic.i.p.ation in his eyes.
However, Lian Ziyao did not quite understand why his Master was so happy. Could it be that his Master really liked Officer Qin?
…
At a company base under the jurisdiction of the Military District A.
Qin Su did not expect Zhou Zimo to come over personally. When the person came to report, she was watching the new recruits training in the training ground.
“Instructor Qin, there’s a Mr. Zhou outside looking for you. He says he’s your friend.”
The soldier came to report.
Qin Su frowned and turned to look at him. “What Mr. Zhou?”
“It’s a tall, handsome, and handsome Mr. Zhou. He’s in the family reception room right now. You should go over and take a look.”
Qin Su could not help but feel puzzled. However, after giving a few instructions, she walked over unhurriedly.
In the corridor outside the family reception room in Lian District, Zhou Zimo was standing in front of the billboard with his hands behind his back. He was leisurely looking at the posters posted on the billboard.
At this moment, it was already close to noon. The autumn sun was faint, and the cool breeze was blowing. It did not seem as stuffy and hot as before. The weather was quite refres.h.i.+ng at this moment, and Zhou Zimo was only wearing a casual silver-gray suit.
While he was engrossed in watching, he quickly heard the sound of resounding footsteps behind him.
Very clear and crisp footsteps.
Zhou Zimo returned to his senses and subconsciously turned around, looking towards the source of the sound. As expected, he saw a pet.i.te and slender figure striding towards him from the other end of the corridor.
She was dressed in a military green camouflage uniform, and her feet were covered in black military boots. Her beautiful hair had been completely coiled up, and it was tied into a neat bun, revealing a cold and beautiful little face.
Seeing her walk over, Zhou Zimo could clearly feel an unusual aura coming from her.
“It’s you?”
Qin Su frowned and stopped not far from him.
Zhou Zimo narrowed his deep eyes and looked at her for a long time without changing his expression. There was a faint light in the depths of his eyes as he said calmly, “It’s me.”
“Long time no see, how are you?”
Master Zhou did not expect that he would use such a lame opening one day.
Qin Su listened and glanced at him expressionlessly. “Long time no see? Is your memory so bad?”
Zhou Zimo coughed lightly and his slightly clenched fist was pressed down on his indifferent lips. He smiled and said, “A day apart feels like three autumns apart. Hasn’t Officer Qin heard of this? What is the meaning of your expression? You don’t welcome me?”
As Zhou Zimo spoke, his eyes were filled with a faint gentleness.
Qin Su did not answer. She only looked at him indifferently. She leisurely crossed her chest and leaned against the pillar at the side.
“What do you think my expression means now? Didn’t the lady boss of the flower shop tell you that I don’t like roses?”
Officer Qin Su spoke in such a direct manner.
“What flowers do you like then? Should I send you other flowers tomorrow? Perfume lilies? Or Chinese bellflower? Or orchids?”
Zhou Zimo asked tentatively.
Qin Su glanced at him and ignored him. He glanced at the time on his wrist, then silently turned around and turned back.
Zhou Zimo was silent for a moment. He touched his nose and followed her.
It was already lunchtime. The two of them walked on the clean path one after the other. They could hear the sounds of the drill as well as the loud and clear singing of the military songs.
This kind of atmosphere was something that he had not experienced for a long time. At this moment, Zhou Zimo suddenly felt nostalgic for the past as he followed Qin Su forward. The two of them did not say a word, it was not until they saw a clean and white restaurant in a small building…
