When they walked into the dining hall, they could hear the soldiers greeting Qin Su from the side. Qin Su nodded in response one by one.
The dining hall was a very neat two-story building. There were many seats on both floors. It was a place for the sergeants to eat. At this time, there were also many sergeants sitting in the dining hall. Everyone ate in an orderly manner.
Qin Su went straight to the second floor and to a window. Zhou Zimo followed her and stood behind Qin Su.
“The food in the Military District is simple. If you don’t like it, leave quickly. If you’re okay with it, find a seat and sit down,” said Qin Su indifferently.
Zhou Zimo shrugged and looked into the gla.s.s window. He nodded and said, “I want that, that, and this, this, and this…”
Qin Su instantly frowned and could not help but glance at him. “Are you a pig? Can you eat that much? It’d be a shame to waste it.”
“I haven’t eaten my fill for breakfast. Please, Officer Qin, treat me to this meal. I’ll treat you to a sumptuous banquet for the next meal.”
Zhou Zimo looked at her with a smile.
Qin Su narrowed her eyes at him and said coldly, “The face of a corrupt profligate son.”
Zhou Zimo did not seem to mind at all. Seeing her slightly unhappy little face, he felt quite good instead. He then turned around and went to the dining area on the side to find a seat to sit down.
Not long after, Qin Su ordered two dishes, brought them over, and sat down opposite Zhou Zimo.
Zhou Zimo did not stand on ceremony and took the chopsticks. As he pulled apart the chopsticks, he raised his head to look at Qin Su, who was opposite him. Qin Su had already lowered her head silently and was eating quietly. Her movements were naturally the standard military posture. This posture was just like his father’s.
No wonder he had always said that he was born to be a soldier.
“I don’t care if I’m full. President Zhou, hurry up and make do with it. After you’re done eating, you can go back. If nothing else, please don’t come and disturb me. Also, I thank you for your flowers. I thank you for your kindness. It can be considered that I’ve repaid my kindness. There’s no need to go through so much trouble in the future.”
“Who said that I’m done repaying you? Isn’t this just the beginning? Can’t you see that I, Zhou Zimo, am now pestering you? You’re my savior. This little repayment is nothing.”
Zhou Zimo, on the other hand, was very calm.
“Such persistence will make me think that you have other motives. Don’t tell me that you’re planning to give yourself to me?”
Qin Su looked up at him indifferently and said disapprovingly.
As soon as she said this, Zhou Zimo immediately laughed in a low voice. He raised his handsome eyebrows, coughed lightly, and then said with a smile, “You want to get your hands on me?”
Hearing this, Qin Su looked at him coldly and indifferently. “I have no interest in pampered heirs like you, I can’t afford to wors.h.i.+p someone like you.”
As Qin Su said this, she calmly lowered her head and continued to eat her food.
Zhou Zimo paused for a moment before saying, “Then, in your eyes, what kind of pampered heir am I? I would like to hear it. Is your impression of me that bad?”
When Zhou Zimo asked this question, his eyes were a little dim.
“It’s not that I have a bad impression, I just don’t have the time to play games with you. I want to be a steady and quiet person. I don’t want to pursue the meaning of your previous actions, but let me tell you, your actions have already caused me trouble.”
Qin Su took the napkin, wiped her mouth briefly, and said.
“Play games? Officer Qin Su, I, Zhou Zimo, have never played such games in feelings. If I tell you that I’m serious and really intend to give myself to you, what do you plan to do? I know you’re single now, do I not have even a chance to pursue you?”
Zhou Zimo’s tone was light, but his eyes were serious.
When Zhou Zimo said this, Qin Su frowned. “This joke isn’t funny. We’re definitely not suitable for each other.”
Qin Su rejected without hesitation.
“We haven’t gotten to know each other, how do you know that we’re not suitable? I think we’re quite suitable, if we weren’t, could we chat like this? A thousand cups of wine aren’t too many when drinking with good friends, haven’t you heard of this line? Moreover, I don’t see any disgust or rejection in your eyes. This proves that you at least acknowledge me as your friend. This is a very good sign, don’t you think? Officer Qin Su?”
Zhou Zimo said with a calm expression. He did not feel any embarra.s.sment or disappointment from being rejected. Instead, he appeared even more confident and resolute.
However, Qin Su turned her head away and smiled disdainfully when she heard that, “You’re not the type that I like either. President Zhou, you and I are both mature adults. Such childish thoughts will only appear in idol dramas. You’re not the almighty male lead, and I’m also not the hypocritical Mary Sue. We can’t play an idol drama that starts with a marriage proposal. Besides, I’m a serious soldier. Although I don’t have the time to deal with so-called feelings, at least my att.i.tude is still strict, unlike you.”
“Like me, like what?? Qin Su, the more you say that, the more I want to win you over. I wasn’t very sure at first, but now—”
As Zhou Zimo said this, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Su’s hand. He swiftly pulled up her sleeve, and a pure white wrist was immediately visible. However, there was a ferocious wound on that pure white wrist!
It was the wound that she had suffered in order to save Zhou Zimo. Although it had already healed, the wound was very clear, very long, and very ferocious. No wonder she rarely wore short sleeves. Previously, when the weather was hot, she had also worn that army green long s.h.i.+rt.
“What are you doing!?”
Qin Su was shocked by his sudden action. When she reacted, she reached out with a cold expression and grabbed his wrist. She squeezed it hard, and Zhou Zimo only released his hand after feeling a wave of pain.
Qin Su retracted his hand at lightning speed and looked at Zhou Zimo with a cold expression. Her tone was unusually cold. “If you’re here to mock or dig out my scars, you have gotten what you wanted.”
“Qin Su… I don’t have any other intentions. As for the wound on your shoulder, I…”
Although Zhou Zimo was mentally prepared, he could not help but feel a pain in his heart when he saw the entire wound that was exposed. When he saw Qin Su swiftly rolled down her sleeves, he took a deep breath. “I’m sorry…”
“It has nothing to do with you. I was just carrying out my duties.”
“No, Qin Su. I think I should be responsible for you. If it wasn’t for me…”
Zhou Zimo appeared to be a little incoherent at this moment.
However, Qin Su did not want to hear him say these things, much less see him. She suddenly stood up, turned around, and left…
“There’s no need. These are all minor injuries. There are many wounds on my body, this is just one more, you don’t have to worry about it. When you’re done with your meal, you can go back. Don’t come anymore, if you really want to thank me, then let me live in peace.”
