Chapter 840 A Selfish and Greedy Country Wife Accompanying the Army (4)
As if afraid of being abandoned, Mu Zhou held him tightly:
“Save me, save me…”
Cheng Lifeng placed one hand on her shoulder and the other hand hovered in mid-air, feeling for the first time at a loss.
She held him tightly around the waist, desperately trying to burrow into his arms.
Cheng Lifeng closed his eyes, a sense of irritation rising in his chest.
He instinctively resisted this kind of physical contact.
But the girl in his arms was trembling, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
She must have been terrified to have almost been abducted by human traffickers.
It's understandable that he might lose his composure.
Fortunately, the girl seemed to have regained some of her senses. She lifted her face slightly from his chest and stared at him with her big, watery eyes.
"Why did it take you so long to save me? You scared me to death!"
There was even a hint of complaint and... coquettishness in her words?
Cheng Lifeng frowned, staring at her with a probing gaze.
Her eyelashes were long and black, fluttering and trembling, with teardrops hanging on them that would occasionally fall, leaving a wet trail on her cheeks.
She seemed awake, yet not fully awake.
She buried herself back in his arms, her muffled voice coming from within:
"However, I knew you would come to save me."
As she spoke, she rubbed against his cold, hard chest.
Her actions made Cheng Lifeng freeze instantly, his chest feeling both itchy and hot.
His gaze darkened, and he applied a little force, pulling her away slightly by gripping her shoulders.
Mu Zhou was a little uncomfortable in this position, so she could only look up at him blankly with her small face upturned.
Cheng Lifeng stared at her for two seconds, then pursed his lips:
"Now that you're sober, stop pretending to be crazy. I'm going to contact someone to handle this."
Mu Zhou blinked, as if processing his words.
After a moment, she nodded vigorously:
"I'll stay with you, don't leave me behind."
Cheng Lifeng didn't say anything, but simply released her and turned to leave quickly.
Mu Zhou swayed slightly, then followed.
The police had been notified in advance, so they acted swiftly.
However, by then, the train had already left.
The police questioned Mu Zhou about his destination and hometown.
In the original story, the original owner was still in shock and somewhat dazed, so he subconsciously said the name of his hometown.
They were sent back just like that.
At this point, Mu Zhou naturally wouldn't act that way anymore. She gave the name of the Northwest Military Region, indicating that she was going to find her husband.
The police officer helped her buy a ticket for the next train.
She asked a female comrade:
"Comrade, where is the soldier who just saved me?"
The woman thought she wanted to express her gratitude, so she gave her directions.
Mu Zhou found Cheng Lifeng, who was heading to the station.
She hurried after him, giving him a reproachful glare, her lips slightly pouting:
Why didn't you call me before you left?
Cheng Lifeng frowned and stared at her, seemingly puzzled by her behavior.
She seemed very dependent on him.
Is the medication still in effect?
Did she mistake him for someone else, just like before when she rushed into his arms?
Cheng Lifeng had already provided a reasonable explanation for her previous behavior.
That is, under the influence of the drug, she was not in a clear state of mind and mistook him for someone else.
This other person is very likely her husband.
But is she still not awake?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mu Zhou got into the car on her own.
This vehicle was a military jeep, specially used to take Cheng Lifeng to the station.
Upon witnessing this scene, the driver hurriedly looked at Cheng Lifeng.
He held back, but in the end, he didn't send the person away.
Mu Zhou even smiled and waved to him:
"Come on up quickly."
Cheng Lifeng's chest heaved for a moment, and he finally got into the car as well.
Oh well, she's just a country girl with no brains, she probably just wants a ride.
With a cold expression, he ordered the driver to set off.
Once on the train, Cheng Lifeng was very resistant to the fact that the two of them were sitting next to each other.
Mu Zhou accepted it well and didn't even feel there was any problem.
She took the luggage from Cheng Lifeng and placed it at her feet.
She then tugged at his sleeve:
"Sit down quickly."
Cheng Lifeng felt an irritation at her overly familiar manner.
But there were no other empty seats in the entire carriage, so he had to sit down.
The train started running again.
Mu Zhou couldn't help but ask all sorts of questions, such as how he found out he had been abducted, how he knew those people were suspicious, and how he managed to defeat three people at once, etc.
Cheng Lifeng would sometimes give a few simple answers, and sometimes he would close his eyes and rest without saying a word.
Mu Zhou didn't care; she was still excited.
As darkness fell, Mu Zhou took out her pancake and handed it to him:
"Here, these are pancakes I made myself, all from this year's new grain, they smell amazing."
Cheng Lifeng sat ramrod straight, stared silently at the pancake shoved in front of him for a few seconds, and ultimately did not take it.
"I'm not hungry."
"Don't be shy, eat up!"
Mu Zhou pressed his lips against his, and he didn't even have time to dodge.
Having already touched it, he couldn't very well give it back to her, so he had no choice but to accept it.
He took a bite.
The pancakes were a bit dry and quite chewy.
However, he had eaten all sorts of things during field operations, so eating now wasn't too difficult for him.
Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at Mu Zhou and saw that she was also eating with great relish.
Cheng Lifeng silently took another bite.
As he left his seat to get water, the woman opposite him struck up a conversation with Mu Zhou:
"Is this your man? He's really handsome, and he's in the army."
Mu Zhou smiled shyly and did not deny it.
The older woman then said:
"Are you going to join the army with your man?"
Mu Zhou nodded:
"Ah."
The older woman glanced around and saw Cheng Lifeng, who had already returned, and quickly shut her mouth.
He was so imposing that even the eldest sister was hesitant to speak in front of him.
Mu Zhou also saw him, smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.
Cheng Lifeng's forehead veins throbbed suddenly.
He heard everything that was just said.
Has this girl been drugged into stupidity?
He gritted his teeth, suddenly grabbed her arm, pulled her up, and walked towards the back of the car.
Mu Zhou didn't struggle and just followed him.
Only when she was alone did Cheng Lifeng stop and look at her with a serious expression:
"Comrade, please watch your words when you're out and about! And remember your place."
What about her man?
Given her married status, it's highly inappropriate for her to tacitly accept such an ambiguous form of address.
Mu Zhou stared at him for a long while, her eyes slowly turning to disappointment.
Cheng Lifeng suddenly felt a pang of annoyance.
It seems...too serious.
He was used to speaking like that in the army, and his tone might be a bit too harsh for a young girl.
He was just thinking about how to start the conversation when he heard her puff out her cheeks and speak:
"I know you probably don't like me. I'm just a country bumpkin with a bad reputation and no education. It's normal that you don't like me."
She suddenly sniffed, as if trying to hold back tears.
"But I had no choice. I could only escape by taking advantage of this arranged marriage. Otherwise, my stepmother would have sold me to an old widower."
Mu Zhou wiped away her tears and looked up at him:
"Could you take me in for a while? I'll find a way to make a living during this time, and then you can apply for a divorce. I promise I won't bother you."
She mumbled a long string of words from her small mouth, catching Cheng Lifeng off guard.
He stood there, something flashing through his mind.
