His predecessor failed

Zhu Ye parked the car and turned off the engine, then got out and checked everything. The cave was located on a slightly higher ground with a gentle slope, so after checking it once, he found no problems for the time being. Looking at the heavy rain that was pouring down on the sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning, Zhu Ye did not delay and hurried back to the car. He could get wet by the rain that was blown into the cave if he just stood there.

After closing the doors and windows, leaving only a gap for ventilation, Zhu Ye searched everywhere for something to wipe the rain off his face and hair. However, after searching for a long time, he couldn't find even a thread. He, a grown man, didn't usually carry these things with him, and there would definitely be no such things in the army's vehicles. He usually didn't care about this little bit of rain, as he had also been caught in bigger ones. He would just go back and wash and change his clothes.

But now he was trapped in the car with the girl he liked, and Zhu Ye didn't want to make it too embarrassing. He thought about wiping it off, as he didn't know how long he would be trapped. As a result, the car was too clean and there was nothing in it.

Su Zhuzhu endured it and convinced herself that the man was here to send her off and was delayed on the way, so she shouldn't be so stingy as to not lend him a handkerchief. Maybe she has been in this era for too long and has been influenced by the times. It was not a big deal before, but now she has to think over and over whether it is appropriate.

A small, white hand handed over a neatly folded light blue plaid handkerchief and placed it in front of Zhu Ye.

Zhu Ye looked up blankly. Based on his understanding of this girl, she usually wanted to stay three meters away from him. Now she could actually lend him a handkerchief. It was really not easy. He didn't know how long she had been struggling with it.

But Zhu Ye was not polite. This was the first time Su Zhuzhu gave him something. Although it was borrowed, the right to use it was always given to him. He took the handkerchief quickly.

"Thank you!"

As if afraid that Su Zhuzhu would go back on her word, he took the handkerchief and put it on his face. Feeling the touch on his face, Zhu Ye suspected that the soft handkerchief was as soft as the girl's hand. He had never used such a soft towel, nor had he worn clothes made of such soft fabric. The clothes in the army were mostly stiff.

Not only was it soft, but it also had a light and elegant fragrance. It was hard to describe, but it was something he had never smelled before. Zhu Ye's heart was itching so much that he not only didn't want to let go of the handkerchief on his face, he also wanted to get closer to the passenger seat to smell if it was the girl's scent.

Zhu Ye used his strong willpower to control himself. Even if it was someone he liked, he couldn't be so obscene. No matter how much trouble she made, he couldn't go against the wishes of her. What's more, Zhu Zhu didn't give him any hope, and he didn't know if he had a chance.

When he thought of this, Zhu Ye's heart slowly calmed down. It was such a pity for him that they did not meet earlier, otherwise they would not be in such a passive situation now.

Afraid of indulging himself in this emotion, Zhu Ye quickly wiped the water off his face and neck, and also wiped his hair. However, his handkerchief was not dry enough, and it was raining heavily outside. After just one turn, his hair became quite wet. Fortunately, it stopped dripping.

Zhu Ye twisted the handkerchief, folded it and put it in his pocket. Facing Su Zhuzhu's incredulous look, he smiled awkwardly.

"It's not clean after I used it. I'll give it back to you after I wash it clean."

Su Zhuzhu thought that she would have to borrow and return something, which would make things even more confusing, so she reached out to take the handkerchief back. It was just washing a handkerchief, not a big deal, there was no need to be so particular.

"Captain Zhu, just give it to me. It will be clean if you rub it with a handkerchief. It's hot now, so it will dry quickly."

Zhu Ye looked at Su Zhuzhu deeply, without answering, he turned his head and looked at the cave outside the window.

Su Zhuzhu was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she was helpless. How come this guy was quite similar to He Qiaojin and was quite good at playing rogue?

For a moment, the car fell silent, no one spoke, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward and ambiguous.

Su Zhuzhu thought that it was not a good idea to continue like this. The cave was not very dark, so she thought about getting out of the car to get some fresh air. At most she would get a little wet, but it didn't matter because she had her luggage with her!

Unexpectedly, as soon as the car door was opened, a loud "boom" sounded through the open door and into the car, as if an explosion had occurred next to her ears. Even though Su Zhuzhu was usually calm, she was caught off guard and screamed. She bounced up and hit the roof of the car, and her head immediately felt dizzy.

Zhu Ye was also startled, but when he reacted he immediately turned sideways and held Su Zhuzhu with his right hand to pull her into his arms, then he stretched out his left hand and slammed the car door shut.

As soon as the car door was closed, there were bursts of thunder-like explosions outside, which lasted for a long time.

Zhu Ye held Su Zhuzhu in his arms for as long as the thunder lasted, and even reached out to cover Su Zhuzhu's ears, refusing to let go no matter how Su Zhuzhu struggled.

Finally, after the lightning and thunder passed, Zhu Ye pulled Su Zhuzhu away and carefully looked at the girl's face. She was a little pale, probably because she was scared. Thinking of the girl's severe head impact, he immediately reached out to check the top of Su Zhuzhu's head. There was no external injury, but the impact was not light.

"Zhuzhu, are you feeling unwell? Do you have a headache, dizziness, nausea, etc."

Su Zhuzhu had a wooden face and gave Zhu Ye a blank look. She knew that she shouldn't have let Zhu Ye deliver it. What was going on?

"Nothing serious, just still a little dizzy."

Zhu Ye was extremely anxious when he heard this, but when he looked outside, the rain outside the cave had not subsided at all. He could not see anyone after walking a few meters outside, let alone driving, as he could not even see clearly through the car windows.

Su Zhuzhu was afraid that Zhu Ye would really rush out without caring about safety, so she quickly said,

"I'm a doctor myself. I just hit my head and I'm a little dizzy. It's nothing serious. Don't be nervous. This extreme weather is not suitable for driving. Let's wait here until the rain stops before leaving."

"But I'm worried about your health. Hitting your head is no small matter. It's better to go to the hospital for a check-up."

In order to dispel Zhu Ye's terrible idea, Su Zhuzhu spoke more in front of Zhu Ye for the first time, fearing that Zhu Ye would drive away in an impulse.

Looking at the girl who was chattering non-stop in front of him, Zhu Ye couldn't help but smile. He didn't interrupt Su Zhuzhu, but just looked at the chattering girl with a doting look.

Having known each other for so long, he had seen Su Zhuzhu who was calm and composed, as well as Su Zhuzhu who was elegant and reserved, but he had never seen Su Zhuzhu who was as lively as she is now.

After talking for a long time, Su Zhuzhu found that Zhu Ye was silent and motionless. She looked up and saw that wild and handsome face right above her head. It was really infuriating that he was so tall, but what was wrong with that look? She had seen it in He Qiaojin's eyes. Su Zhuzhu was afraid of causing trouble, so she quickly shut up and leaned back.

Zhu Ye finally couldn't help it anymore, and he grabbed the little girl's arms with his strong hands and pulled her towards his chest.

"Zhuzhu, I like you! If you haven't made up your mind to get married to someone else, can you give me a chance? I won't let you regret it. This is the first time in my life that I like someone. I didn't plan to get married before, but the first time I saw you, I wanted to build a family with you."

Su Zhuzhu really regretted it this time. Why did Zhu Ye bring up the matter at this time? She would definitely not accept Zhu Ye, but now they were alone in the wilderness, and if she refused, would Zhu Ye be angry and embarrassed?

To be honest, Zhu Ye's conditions are really good, and he is a good man worthy of TOEFL, but she already has He Qiaojin, and her heart is given to He Qiaojin. It is impossible for her to accept anyone else. Even though she comes from such an open and free era in the future, she cannot accept indecision. She and He Qiaojin just have misunderstandings and conflicts, which does not mean that there is a problem with their relationship. They have decided to spend their lives together.

Su Zhuzhu pulled Zhu Ye's hand off her shoulder with difficulty, took a deep breath, and decided to make things clear so as not to drag it out. Now that she had said it, today was also an opportunity.

"Captain Zhu, thank you for your appreciation. You are an excellent man and a very good soldier, but I already have someone I like, the kind I want to marry. I had just returned from visiting my family in the army before I performed the operation on Mr. Zhu. Because my girlfriend was on an emergency mission, I only had time to have dinner with the army leaders and comrades, and didn't have time to get a marriage certificate. But we will get married after my girlfriend finishes the mission. Both parents have met and are very satisfied. Please don't worry about me, Captain Zhu. There are many excellent girls. You can always find the one that suits your heart if you look around more."

Su Zhuzhu finally said what she wanted to say and let out a long breath.

What she didn't know was that with every word she spoke, Zhu Ye's heart sank, and by the time she finished speaking, it had sunk to the bottom of the pool.

Zhu Ye bit his cheek hard. Although he had prepared himself mentally for rejection before he opened his mouth, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard Su Zhuzhu's rejection.

He decided last night to confess his feelings to Su Zhuzhu on the road today. This was the first time in his more than 20 years of life that he was so fussy. In the past, no matter how difficult the problem was, whether it was a conspiracy or an open conspiracy, he could always find a way.

But it's different now, now it's about love, and love can only be exchanged with a true heart, so he decided to express his feelings to Su Zhuzhu today. As a man, he should be open and honest, fight for it when there is a chance, and bless it if there is no chance. He always hopes that this little girl will be happy.

But now my heart was aching all of a sudden. I wanted to smoke a cigarette. I looked at the storm outside, and then at the girl next to me who seemed a little uneasy. I felt a surge of depression inside.

Zhu Ye still didn't want to give up.

"Zhuzhu, you have to admit that I am not bad. I will wait for you until you get married. I will not give up until you get married. If one day you really get married with someone else, I will retreat to the position of a friend and promise not to cause trouble to you."

Su Zhuzhu still didn't want to give up trying to persuade Zhu Ye.

"But, but, even if I don't get married, I may not choose you. There's really no need to stick to one path. There are so many good girls."

Zhu Ye was so angry that he laughed. This girl knew how to tear people's hearts apart.

"Whether or not I can make you choose me is my business. If you really don't like me, that's my incompetence. But please don't try to persuade me, or I'll do something irrational."

Su Zhuzhu looked at Zhu Ye's eyes that were fixed on his prey. She admitted that she was scared and began to shrink quietly in her seat, pretending to be a quail.

I'm still feeling dizzy, so I'll take it easy first.

Zhu Ye looked at the girl who began to close her eyes to rest. His greedy eyes moved from Su Zhuzhu's thick black hair to her full and white forehead, then to her straight and delicate nose, and then down to her red little mouth which he did not dare to look at.

Zhu Ye gripped the steering wheel with both hands, closed his eyes, and took several breaths before slowly opening his eyes.

Exhaling, Zhu Ye opened the driver's door, walked quickly around the front of the car to the passenger seat, opened the door directly, leaned over and picked up Princess Su Zhuzhu.

Su Zhuzhu, who was resting with her eyes closed, was startled. She was suddenly lifted into the air and then embraced by a masculine man.

Zhu Ye felt that this might be the closest he would ever be to Su Zhuzhu in his life. Just by carrying her from the driver's seat to the back seat, he hoped that the time could be extended indefinitely.

In fact, it didn't even take a minute, because he couldn't bear to let Su Zhuzhu get wet in the rain, so he put her down on the back seat and almost pressed his whole body on Su Zhuzhu, but he really didn't want to leave.

Su Zhuzhu looked at Zhu Ye's face getting closer and closer to her and could only hold on to his chest with both hands.

Fortunately, Zhu Ye stopped at the last moment, paused for a few seconds, then stood up decisively, closed the back seat door, turned around and returned to the driver's seat.

"You just hit your head. Lie down and rest for a while. The rain won't stop anytime soon. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me. Don't just endure it."

After Zhu Ye finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to rest. For a moment, the car became quiet again.

Maybe it was because people get tired easily after relaxing after being nervous. Not long after lying down, Su Zhuzhu began to feel sleepy. After resisting for a while, she finally fell asleep.

At this time, Zhu Ye opened his eyes, his eyes were deep and bright, without any sleepiness at all. He adjusted the rearview mirror, and just stared at the girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror, staring and staring, without even changing his posture.

It was not until the thunder outside stopped, the rain gradually subsided and the view became wider that Zhu Ye looked outside. The rain was still too heavy to travel.

Zhu Ye was very grateful for the rain. If he and this girl were not destined to be together in the end, then today was the opportunity given to him by God to take a good look at the girl he loved.

Just like that, Zhu Ye almost didn't even blink, just stared at Su Zhuzhu who was sleeping soundly in the back seat through the rearview mirror. Thinking of the feeling of holding this girl in his arms, he didn't regret hugging her at all, even though he knew it was out of his own selfishness.
