Chapter 116 I don't dislike...
Gu Changgeng didn't stop his actions for a moment, as if he was angry with someone. He kept silent and worked hard.
Shen Ning was also a little confused, but she noticed that Gu Changgeng was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to say anything. She stood at the door holding the enamel cup, like a primary school student who was punished to stand.
Gu Changgeng said nothing, quickly picked up the broken ice, thoroughly cleared the path in front of Shen Ning's house, and put the tools back in place.
At this time, the enamel cup in Shen Ning's hand had lost its heat.
Gu Changgeng's eyes fell on her red, frozen fingertips. He took the enamel cup and couldn't help but ask, "Your fingers are frozen like this, and you don't know how to go back to the house or put on gloves. What are you doing standing there like an idiot?"
Shen Ning was stunned, his hands were empty, and he saw Gu Changgeng putting the enamel cup to his mouth. He quickly pulled Gu Changgeng's sleeve and said, "The water is cold. Wait a minute, I'll pour you a hot cup."
Gu Changgeng looked at the fingertips that were pulling at his sleeves, turning bluish white due to the force, and pursed his lips, "Why don't you wear gloves?"
Shen Ning felt that Gu Changgeng's thoughts were very jumpy. She could hardly keep up. She stared at him blankly with her almond-shaped eyes.
Gu Changgeng swallowed and asked the question in his mind with difficulty, "Why don't you wear gloves? Do you not like the gloves, or do you... not like me?"
"Ah?" Shen Ning was stunned and explained subconsciously, "No, I don't dislike you..."
As soon as the words came out, the two of them froze in place. Shen Ning realized what he had said, and his pupils dilated a little, "No... I don't like you either..."
This seems to be getting more confusing the more I explain it...
"I... I didn't wear gloves because I was afraid of getting them dirty while pasting the Spring Festival couplets. It's not that I like you, nor do I dislike you..."
But Gu Changgeng's mind was filled with that sentence, "I don't dislike you..."
Looking at Shen Ning's red lips opening and closing, he could not hear a word of the rest. He thought happily, double negation expresses affirmation, Shen Ning...she...
Gu Changgeng's narrow eyes suddenly showed a smile, and the fierce aura around him instantly dissipated, and even the fierceness brought by the scar on his brow bone weakened a little. "Okay, I get it, you don't dislike me."
Shen Ning's pupils trembled in panic, "Ah? It seems to be correct, but it seems to be wrong in every way..."
Shen Ning wanted to explain, but Gu Changgeng had already stuffed the enamel cup in his hand into her arms, "I know, I know, pour me a cup of hot water."
Shen Ning held the enamel cup and walked into the house reflexively. He wished he could bite off his tongue. What stupid things he had just said.
Captain Gu should not misunderstand what "like" and "dislike" are.
I definitely don't have any intention of wanting him.
Shen Ning was thinking wildly and getting more and more angry. After all, he still had to blame Gu Changgeng for talking about gloves for no apparent reason...
Gu Changgeng looked at the little educated youth who had a twisted face and didn't even notice that he had become clumsy, with a smile on his face.
Suddenly sensing a cold gaze, Gu Changgeng looked towards the window abruptly and met Gu Sanya's eyes.
The little girl's eyes were blank and a little bit fearful. When she saw Gu Changgeng's gaze, she immediately lowered her head...
Gu Changgeng retracted his gaze, stretched out his hand and gently grabbed Shen Ning's arm, lowered his voice, "I'm going to find the captain, you can come with me, it's about San Ya."
Shen Ning was stunned and put down the enamel cup in his hand. He glanced at San Ya who was standing under the window and said, "Meiqiu, take good care of the house. Yaya, you stay at home obediently. Sister will be back soon.
I'm hungry. There are walnut cakes and milk powder on the table. Eat them first. I'll come back and cook dumplings for you later."
San Ya trotted over and pulled Shen Ning's sleeve, "Where are you going? I'll go too."
Gu Sanya has always been well-behaved and obedient. Although she is a bit clingy on weekdays, she has never taken the initiative to ask to go out with me.
Shen Ning touched her little head and said, "What happened today? I'm going to go out and talk to Captain Gu for a while. I'll be back soon. You can read the comic book for a while and let Coal Ball accompany you, okay?"
Gu Sanya lowered her head again. Her expression could not be seen, but her voice was muffled, "Oh, then come back soon."
Shen Ning ruffled her short yellowish hair and said, "Okay, I'll be back soon..."
……
The two walked slowly on the main road in the village. The winter snow had not yet melted, and it made a "crunching" sound when they stepped on it.
A few chubby sparrows squatted on the bare branches, tilting their heads to look at the two people walking under the tree.
Gu Changgeng looked at the depressed Shen Ning, knowing that she was worried about Sanya, and spoke a few more words, "Don't worry, the family arranged for Sanya by the organization is also the family of martyrs, a couple surnamed Hu, in their fifties, their daughter is a doctor in the military region, and she died in a mission.
In the early years, they had been trapped in the grief of losing their daughter. When they learned about San Ya's experience, they felt very sympathetic and were willing to adopt her.
They are all kind and good people, and they have promised to treat San Ya as their own daughter. The organization will also send people to visit her from time to time, so don't worry, you can visit her often when you have time.
After all, Sanya is still young and needs a normal family..."
Shen Ning nodded. She knew that this was the best arrangement for San Ya. She couldn't stay in Hejia Village forever and take care of her all her life. It was crucial to find a good family for San Ya.
The two of them spoke nothing along the way and soon arrived at He Dazhi's home.
"Sister Ningning is here, sister, I missed you so much!"
When He Xiaojun saw the person coming, he immediately shouted happily, like a lively chick, and kept circling around Shen Ning.
Shen Ning touched her pigtails and looked at her innocent and bright smile, and her mood improved. "Well, little greedy cat, are you thinking about me or the candy in your sister's pocket?"
He Xiaojun's secret was exposed, "Of course I miss my sister, but it would be even better if Sister Ningning brought me some candy!"
"You are such a shameless kid. Ningning, please don't spoil her. It's not a good habit for her to develop."
Aunt He looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
He Xiaojun made a face and said, "I won't eat candy given by strangers. I won't accept it if anyone else gives it to me except Sister Ningning."
Everyone was amused by He Xiaojun's clever appearance. Shen Ning took out two White Rabbits and said, "We knew that our Xiaojun is the best. He will definitely not eat anything given by a stranger."
He Xiaojun cheered, took two candies, and happily went to find his brother He Zhuang.
He Dazhi immediately invited the two of them into the house, "Why are you here, Captain Gu? Is it about San Ya's matter? Come in quickly, it's very cold outside."
Gu Changgeng nodded and told the Hu couple that they were willing to adopt Sanya.
He Dazhi nodded repeatedly. Because of San Ya's reputation as a "jinx", no one in the nearby villages was willing to adopt her. Now that the organization had helped find a good family for her, He Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not that he is superstitious, but Gu Sanya is really too evil. Even now, villagers still feel uneasy and scared when passing by the charred ruins. Most people choose to take a detour as much as possible for fear of bringing bad luck.
Shen Ning sighed. Even the team leader felt so, not to mention the villagers.
Perhaps a change of environment would be best for San Ya...
