Chapter 233: 233

Chapter 233 - Seeing his cheeks turn red visibly, Tong Xuelu was dumbfounded. (3)

Looking at his dazed look, Old Mr. Wen could feel a headache coming on. “Don’t tell me that you are not aware that you are fond of her.”

Wen Rugui still looked calm on the outside, but it was like a storm was brewing inside his heart.

Was he really fond of Comrade Tong?

Was this what being fond of someone was like?

Wen Rugui still looked dumbfounded when he walked out of the military compound.

He had planned to go straight back to base after visiting his grandpa.

But after he had stepped out, his body uncontrollably made its way toward the south side of the town.

In order to help Wang Nianzhen make braised pork, Tong Xuelu had made large pots of food at the restaurant before she took some time off and returned home to work on the favor.

She worked with alacrity and handed over the finished braised pork to Wang Nianzhen in no time.

Seeing that she had time, Tong Xuelu boiled some hot water to bathe the puppy before it got too late.

The puppy had not been bathed since they had brought it home, so it was getting smelly.

Halfway through the bathing, she heard knocking on the door.

Her hands were covered in bubbles, and she wasn’t able to step away without letting the puppy make a mess.

As such, Wei Zhuzhu and Tong Mianmian volunteered to go and get the door for her.

Tong Xuelu latthered some soap on the puppy and talked to the puppy at the same time. “How does it feel, Little One?”

The puppy narrowed its eyes and barked in his milky way.

Tong Xuelu’s heart trembled from its cuteness. She suddenly remembered that they had yet to name the puppy. “Oh right, we haven’t given you a name yet! What would you like to be your name? Wangcai (prosperity)? Laifu (blessings)?”

Tong Xuelu chuckled by herself at the cliché names.

Suddenly, she saw the patch of black hair on the puppy’s forehead that was shaped like a heart. An idea occurred to her, and she said, “How about Xiao Gui?”

The puppy didn’t seem very pleased with the name, growling at her a couple of times. “Bark. Bark.”

Tong Xuelu tried to convince him. “Let me tell you. I know someone by the name of Wen Rugui. He’s super good-looking. If you take his name, you might even grow into a big and handsome dog someday!”

Having said that, she suddenly noticed that something was off.

She lifted her head and met Wen Rugui’s ink-black eyes.

Tong Xuelu, “……………”

Tong Xuelu only wished to cry. QAQ

Why did she keep putting herself in such embarrassing situations?

Nevertheless, as long as she refused to feel embarrassed, then it would be the puppy who felt embarrassed.*

With that plan, Tong Xuelu smiled and asked, “Hi, Comrade Wen! What brought you here?”

Meeting her limpid eyes, Wen Rugui could feel his heart pounding in his chest.

She said he’s good-looking!

He’s good-looking!

Good looking!

Looking!

Did that mean that he had a special place in her heart, too?

Seeing how he was staring at her blankly, Tong Xuelu had a bad feeling. Was he mad at her?

“Comrade Wen, I was just kidding. I didn’t mean ‘gui’ as in your name. I meant ‘gui’ as in turtle.”

As soon as she had finished saying that, she wanted to smack herself.

What was she talking about? The more she rambled on, the more awkward the situation was getting.

She cleared her throat and said, “Look at me misspeaking again. I meant ‘gui’ as in osmanthus. I am thinking about naming this puppy Xiao Gui. What do you think?”

Wen Rugui, “! ! !”

Truth was, he didn’t hear a word after a certain point. All he knew was that his heart started to pound loudly in his chest when he heard her saying that he was good-looking. He didn’t hear anything else after that.

He finally caught on after her explanation. She was thinking about naming the puppy ‘Xiao Gui’?

Could he interpret her wanting to name her puppy after him because she was interested in him?

That idea made him blush from his cheeks to his ears instantly.

THROB! THROB! THROB!

Wen Rugui was glad that the two were standing quite some distance apart. Otherwise, she would have been able to hear his heart pounding.

Seeing his cheeks turn red visibly, Tong Xuelu was dumbfounded.
