Chapter 149: You Agreed
Fu Yan Cheng kept staring at Liu Chuxue, afraid she would refuse.
Liu Chuxue had originally been moved, but thinking of herself as just a village girl now: "Brother Fu, where are you from?"
Hearing the question, Fu Yan Cheng suddenly snapped to attention: "Fu Yan Cheng, from Jing City, twenty-three years old this year, currently serving in the Jingdu Military Region, holding the post of Deputy Company Commander."
He only spoke of his own situation, not his family's; he had clearly seen the change in the young girl's expression just now, fearing that mentioning his family background would scare her away.
A Deputy Company Commander so young must either come from an extraordinary family or have joined the army early and fought for his position with his life; which kind would he be?
Fu Yan Cheng seemed to see through her thoughts: "I graduated from high school at seventeen and entered the army; I have been a soldier for eight years."
Liu Chuxue couldn't help but want to laugh; when this person stated his age, he used actual age, yet now calculating his military service, he used nominal age: "Well, you must know I am still in high school, graduating in less than two months, and moreover..."
She felt a bit embarrassed to say it out loud; she was not yet eighteen years old. Although it was not strange for seventeen- or eighteen-year-olds to marry in these times, as someone from the future, she still felt somewhat...
Fu Yan Cheng clenched his fist, brought it to his mouth, and coughed lightly: "I know. If you are not averse to me, we can start dating with the purpose of marriage."
Thinking that as long as he was given a chance, he would surely perform well, and once she turned eighteen, he would find a way to get her onto his household registration book, he stared unblinkingly at Liu Chuxue.
Had he not noticed his clenched fist, she would almost have been deceived by his serious expression.
In her past life, she had envied colleagues and friends who dragged their families along to show off their happiness; the moment she knew she was about to die, her greatest regret was not listening to her best friend's advice to find a handsome man who caught her eye and get some experience first.
Seeing that Liu Chuxue had not spoken for a long time, Fu Yan Cheng coughed nervously.
Just as he was preparing to say something more, he heard Liu Chuxue say: "Alright then, let's try dating first; if it suits, we'll talk about the future later."
Hearing the answer he wanted, the corners of Fu Yan Cheng's mouth were so happy they seemed ready to stretch to the back of his ears: "Liu Chuxue, you agreed?"
"Yes, I agreed. You must perform well."
"Rest assured, I will definitely perform well."
Remembering something, he asked in a low voice: "Can I make our relationship public?"
Liu Chuxue naturally understood why he asked: "Give me some time to sort out those messy matters."
Fu Yan Cheng nodded: "Alright, I'll listen to you."
As the two walked forward while talking, they then remembered Zhui Feng: "Where is Zhui Feng? How is your training going?"
Fu Yan Cheng's eyes sparkled at this moment: "You don't know; that little fellow is truly too spirited. I'm afraid he can guard the home and protect the courtyard well even without my training."
The corners of Liu Chuxue's mouth curled up: "You should see who raised him."
These past few days, the little fellow had drunk almost nothing but the water from the space pool; combined with his natural intelligence, Fu Yan Cheng's statement was very normal: "Of course, and thank you for having someone send him over."
Recalling what had happened before: "On the first night he was sent over, someone tried to steal bricks; it was he who heard the noise first and gave the warning."
Hearing Liu Chuxue's words, Fu Yan Cheng asked: "What happened next?"
"The clan elder who helped us guard the night shift had martial arts skills. As soon as Zhui Feng gave the warning, he rushed out; the brick thief, terrified, dropped his backpack and ran."
"Do you know who it was?"
Liu Chuxue waved her hand as she walked: "I don't know specifically who, but I know there is a night watchman; after that, no one dared to make a move again."
