When I woke up, I was entangled by a rough guy with eight-pack abs

Qin Zhao put down the knife in his hand and walked over, holding out his hand towards her: "Why did you follow me?"

Ning Ying wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. He wouldn't suspect that she followed him deliberately to spy on him taking a cold shower, right?

"I just... just wanted to tell you that the bathhouse has been closed for a long time."

Qin Zhao smiled and raised his eyebrows at her, as if he was going to watch her argue as much as she wanted.

Ning Yang's face turned even redder. He got up from the ground, turned around and ran. His two little feet were like motors and he disappeared in a flash.

Qin Zhao laughed grimly. In fact, he had noticed it when Ning Ying followed him. This was the instinctive alertness of a soldier.

I originally wanted to tease her, but she just couldn't take it.

After Ning Ying returned to the room, she covered her head with the quilt. It was so embarrassing.

Hearing the footsteps approaching outside, she immediately turned over and faced the wall.

As soon as Qin Zhao opened the door, he saw the silhouette lying on the bed, but her straight back revealed her true emotions at the moment.

I know she is shy.

He smiled, then lay down on the quilt on the floor and fell asleep almost in a second.

Listening to the man's steady breathing, Ning Ying's eyelids became heavier as if she was bewitched, and she gradually fell asleep.

Qin Zhao suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness. He turned sideways and looked at the sleeping figure on the bed, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

It’s just that the little girl had a bad sleeping posture. She always curled up on the edge of the bed and fell off from time to time.

Fortunately, he was there to continue.

Qin Zhao tried to carry her back several times, but when he saw her fall again, he had to give up.

"Why are you so stubborn?"

He pulled the covers off the bed over her and laid down beside her.

Looking at her eyebrows and eyes favored by the moonlight, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to trace them, but considering Ning Ying's resistance, he just stroked her hair.

When Ning Ying woke up, Qin Zhao was gone.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and found herself lying on the floor.

Because she had been sharing a bed with Zhou Xiaoli for a long time, and Zhou Xiaoli was domineering, she could only curl up along the edge of the bed and developed the habit of falling off the bed.

I don’t know if she hit Qin Zhao last night.

When she finished washing and walked out of the room, Gu Jin jumped out from the side: "Okay, Sister Yingzi, you took down Brother Zhao in one night, so is our snake venom ointment business a done deal?"

"Get lost, do you think I'm the type to play that game?"

Gu Jin muttered softly that she didn't like playing that game, but she liked playing with Qin Zhao. With that tall and mighty figure and those long legs, which woman wouldn't like him?

"What are you mumbling about? Just say what you want to say."

"Ahem, sister Yingzi, stop hiding it. I saw brother Zhao coming out of your room."

"Well, there were no rooms last night, so I let him sleep on the floor."

Gu Jin pursed his lips. He didn't know whether he was sleeping on the floor or something else, but he knew that the look in Qin Zhao's eyes when he looked at Ning Ying was not innocent.

The rain in Shaanxi City never stopped, and there were even several rainstorms in succession. Ning Ying and Gu Jin could only stay at the resettlement site.

After a long time without any news, Gu Jin became restless. He felt that Ning Ying was deceiving him again and kept nagging in her ears.

Fortunately, three days later, Qin Zhao returned from the dam and brought good news: "Your snake venom ointment has passed the test and can be purchased by the army. When the time comes, someone will be responsible for contacting you."

Gu Jin hugged Qin Zhao excitedly: "Brother Zhao, ever since you walked out of Sister Yingzi's room that day, I knew this would work!"

"Don't talk nonsense. There was a reason for what happened that day. Comrade Ning was kind enough to let him stay overnight. As for the purchase, it was done according to the regulations. There is no personal relationship between us."

Huh, huh, huh, look at that serious face, maybe he's feeling very happy.

It seems that there is still a layer of window paper between the two of them, but if Sister Yingzi can get close to Qin Zhao, he might be able to get some benefits in the future.

Gu Jin found an excuse to leave.

In order to thank Qin Zhao, Ning Ying offered to treat him to a meal.

When Qin Zhao saw a truckload of watermelons being brought into the cafeteria, he picked up two and split them in half with one hand. Then he wiped the spoon clean and handed the watermelon along with the sandy flesh to her.

"Try it. Most of the watermelons in Shaanxi are made from sandy soil. They are very sweet."

Ning Ying scooped out a piece with a small spoon. The sweet taste went straight to her mind, as if she had never eaten such a sweet watermelon in later life.

Qin Zhao looked at her expectantly: "Is it sweet?"

Ning Ying's ears felt hot when he looked at her: "Sweet."

Hearing her say "sweet", a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face, and he casually split the other one and placed it in front of her.

"Eat more sweet food."

Ning Ying looked up and saw that Qin Zhao's eyes were full of red bloodshot and his heroic face showed a hint of fatigue. She guessed that he probably didn't get enough rest in the past few days.

“Is flood prevention work going smoothly?”

"The simple flood prevention work is not difficult. After all, the soldiers I brought with me are veterans with rich experience. However, it is not easy to persuade the people to move out of the flood prevention area."

In the past, floods would occur in Shaanxi City at this time, but they would not destroy houses, and there was no need to relocate so many villages.

What’s more, the predicted flood has not yet arrived, and the villagers just think it is alarmist talk. No matter how hard the staff tries to persuade them, they refuse to move to the resettlement site.

Ning Ying thought that there were a thousand lives lost and a loss of four hundred million yuan.

Not to mention how many heroes have sacrificed their lives for this beloved land, the flower growers have invested countless manpower and material resources in building Shaanxi City.

If the flower-growing country is destroyed by this devastating flood, everything will be in vain, and it may even drag down the economy of the entire flower-growing country.

She thought for a moment and said, "Can you accept a white lie?"

Qin Zhao knew that she might have thought of a way, and immediately looked at her with his dark eyes: "If it can save everyone's life, what does it matter if it's a lie?"

"That's fine. After we have eaten, I will go with you to the flood control area."

Qin Zhao immediately had an idea in his mind, and he became more energetic and ate more enthusiastically. He even picked up some food for Ning Ying from time to time.

Ning Ying looked at the pointed bowl in front of her that looked like a mountain, and suddenly felt a little amused.

"Captain Qin, there's no need to be so attentive. I don't know if my method will work."

"You have a lot of clever ideas. As long as you open your mouth, 80% of them will work."

Qin Zhao was in a very good mood and ate two large bowls of pulled noodles.

He was happy not only because Ning Ying said she had a way, but more importantly, she chose to fight alongside him. The only downside was that the environment in the flood prevention area was harsh and she might have to endure some hardship.

Before leaving, Qin Zhao carried a backpack filled with mineral water, instant noodles and several boxes of cut watermelon, intending to leave them for Ning Ying to eat on the way.

The one who took them back was still the fellow villager who drove the tractor.

"Young man, your young wife is pretty good. She looks fair and clean, not delicate at all."
