"Uncle Zhou, I have to go in a bit."

Zhou Qiangguo frowned and said, "Why are you leaving so soon? Stay a few more days, I'd like you to help guide those soldiers."

"Uncle Lin was worried about Yi Chu going back alone, so he asked me to go back with her."

Pei Shizhou lied without batting an eye, and Zhou Qiangguo stared at him, thinking that he would never believe Pei Shizhou had no ulterior motives.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Wei Nan. Xiao Chu came by herself, why shouldn't we let her go back on her own?"

Zhou Qiangguo was teasing him on purpose, saying that they'd both been young once, and he didn't think he could fool him with those tricks for chasing girls. After Zhou Qiangguo finished speaking, he walked towards Lin Weinan's house, but Pei Shizhou quickly grabbed him.

"No, Uncle Zhou, to be honest, it's me who wants to leave with Yichu."

"You've finally come to your senses, kid. Your uncle was worried you wouldn't be able to find a wife. He's getting on in years and still unmarried, yet he's concerned about you. Now he can finally relax. I'll talk to him about it another day."

Lin Weinan's niece is even more beautiful than the actresses seen on TV, so it's understandable that Pei Shizhou had designs on her.

"Uncle Zhou, this is just my personal opinion. I don't know if Yichu will like me. I'll talk to my uncle about it first."

If his uncle finds out, then his maternal grandparents will find out too. Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia will definitely find out then, and it's only a matter of time before Xia Yichu finds out.

Now that Xia Yichu doesn't like him, he's afraid that if she finds out, she'll avoid him and won't see him.

"Hahaha...you've finally met your match. I heard from your uncle that a lot of girls were chasing after you, but you always avoided them. Don't worry! With your looks and personality, no girl could dislike you."

Pei Shizhou didn't think that way; Xia Yichu was the exception.

"Uncle Zhou, let's go eat. After we finish eating, Uncle Lin said he'll call someone to take us to the county town to catch a bus to the provincial capital, and then we'll fly to Shenzhen tomorrow."

"Okay, Shi Zhou, when you're pursuing a girl, you need to be a little more thick-skinned and proactive. Let me tell you..."

Throughout the journey, even during meals, Zhou Qiangguo taught Pei Shizhou how to pursue girls. Pei Shizhou listened attentively; this was the first time he had ever liked a girl. He had no experience, so listening to his elders was always the right thing to do.

"Why hasn't Zhou arrived yet? Is he going to change his mind and not leave again?"

After finishing his meal and waiting all day, Pei Shizhou still hadn't arrived, and Lin Weinan was getting a little anxious.

"Uncle, I can go back to Pengcheng by myself. I always go to Beijing by myself, so you don't need to worry about me."

"No, I have to go check it out."

Lin Weinan didn't hear what Xia Yichu was saying at all. His mind was filled with thoughts of Pei Shizhou not arriving yet, wondering if he had changed his mind.

"Uncle, uncle."

Lin Weinan left without a word, and Xia Yichu called after him, but he didn't stop.

"Xiao Chu, let your uncle go. He just found out you were kidnapped, so he's definitely worried about you going back alone. If he and I weren't tied up, we'd like to take you back ourselves."

"Okay, Auntie, when your brother comes back, get him a few bottles of loquat syrup to make him some water to drink."

"it is good"

Xia Yichu told her uncle and aunt that she had brought the loquat syrup from afar and hoped they would keep it and drink it slowly. Apart from the three bottles that Zhou Qiangguo took, the rest were at home.

Lin Weinan was afraid Zhou Qiangguo would come to his house and take it, so he locked the rest in a closet in his room. He didn't believe Zhou Qiangguo would be shameless enough to go to his room and take it. Now he wanted to make it at home, so he didn't bring it to the office.

"Xiao Chu, Shi Zhou is here."

Lin Weinan happily led Pei Shizhou in, followed by Zhou Qiangguo.

"Let's go, the car is already waiting at the gate."

As Lin Weinan spoke, he picked up two bags from the ground. One bag contained clothes, and the other contained snacks that Pei Shizhou and Wang Liujie had bought for Xia Yichu.

Xia Yichu didn't want to bring the things because they were too heavy. She had initially persuaded her uncle and aunt to let her go, but when her uncle came home from get off work and learned that Pei Shizhou was leaving with her, he made her aunt pack everything up, and Xia Yichu couldn't stop him.

The group walked for five or six minutes to the gate, where a car was parked. The driver was the young man who had come to pick up Xia Yichu with her uncle that day.

"Commander, Regiment Commander, Doctor Wang."

"Xiao Liu, the road is bumpy, don't drive too fast."

"Yes, Commander."

After instructing Xiao Liu, Lin Weidong turned to Xia Yichu and said, "Xiaochu, you sit in the back. I'll put your things in the trunk; remember to take them when you get out. Shizhou, I'm entrusting my Xiaochu to your care."

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, I will take good care of Yichu."

Zhou Qiangguo watched Lin Weinan gratefully thank Pei Shizhou, thinking to himself, "What if Lin Weinan finds out that he personally handed his niece over to Pei Shizhou?"

I wonder if he'll regret what he did today. Lost in thought, I found myself laughing out loud. Then, everyone looked at him, completely bewildered.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something happy and couldn't help but laugh. Remember to call me when you arrive, Shi Zhou. I have to go now."

Zhou Qiangguo left in a hurry, and after returning to his office, he laughed for a long time before stopping. He hoped that Pei Shizhou would be more capable and win over Lin Weinan's niece. He was looking forward to seeing Lin Weinan's exasperated expression.

Pei Shizhou is good in every way, except that his mother died early and his father remarried. He's heard that woman is no pushover, but that's not a problem.

Pei Shizhou has always lived with his uncle and maternal grandparents, and now that he's grown up, he only goes back to that home once every year or two.

Therefore, Xia Yichu doesn't need to return to the Pei family after marrying him; the young couple can live their own lives happily. The Zhou family has a good family tradition, and Pei Shizhou is more like a member of the Zhou family than his father.

Otherwise, given his relationship with Lin Weinan, he wouldn't have offered to introduce Pei Shizhou to Xia Yichu. Now that Pei Shizhou has taken a liking to her, it would be a joyous occasion if they could get together.

Lin Weinan and Wang Liujie watched the car drive away from the gate. Wang Liujie said, "It's gone. You can't even see the car anymore."

"Okay, oh, I forgot to tell Xiao Chu to call when she arrives in the provincial capital."

"Sometimes Zhou looks at you and you still have nothing to worry about. Didn't you say that back then, none of our troops could match him?"

"That's true."

Lin Weinan felt relieved after hearing his wife's words. Xia Yichu and the others remained silent throughout the journey. Xiao Liu, worried about bumping into Xia Yichu, focused intently on driving.

Pei Shizhou wanted to talk to Xia Yichu, but she closed her eyes to rest as soon as she got in the car, clearly not wanting to talk.

"Comrade Pei, Comrade Xia, we've arrived." Two hours later, Xiao Liu stopped the car and said.

Xia Yichu didn't sleep; she just closed her eyes and thought about Liu Yaohui.

"Okay, thank you."

Xia Yichu thanked them, and Xiao Liu and Pei Shizhou took the things out of the trunk. They all belonged to Xia Yichu; Pei Shizhou only carried a bag on his back, which contained all his belongings.

"Yichu, I'm sorry, it was your uncle and I who told you about your kidnapping."

After Xiao Liu left, Pei Shizhou couldn't wait to apologize to Xia Yichu.

"fine"

Xia Yichu responded indifferently, then walked ahead. It would probably take another half hour for the car to arrive.
