Chapter 109 She's gotten quite bold; she dares to complain about your man now.
Gu Jun was pushed by Shu Yun to take a shower and wash his hair. When he came out, Shu Yun was already busy in the kitchen.
Gu Jun dried his hair with a towel. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Shu Yun pushed him out, "You've finished showering, so don't come in. It's all smoky. Go back to your room and rest."
Gu Jun lay down on the bed as instructed. The soft mattress still carried a familiar and nostalgic scent, which made Gu Jun feel much more relaxed. He did not close the bedroom door and talked to Shu Yun in the kitchen.
"Is there anything you'd like to eat later? I'll treat you to something nice."
Gu Jun thought for a moment, "Sweet potato pancakes? Cornmeal buns? I'm fine with either."
Shu Yun: ...This guy can't even order a dish properly. She said helplessly, "Why don't you order two big dishes?"
Despite saying that, Shu Yun still took out a few sweet potatoes and corn from the cupboard and made a big bowl of sweet potato pancakes and cornbread for Gu Jun, who had never eaten anything good before, so that he could eat his fill!
In addition to that, Shu Yun also took out some of the cured meat she had stored away and made a dish of stir-fried dried radish with cured meat, served with cornbread, which was quite appetizing.
Yesterday, after Shu Yun learned that Gu Jun had returned, she rode her bicycle to the city and bought some pork ribs. She marinated the pork ribs overnight and stewed them in radish soup, making them both fresh and fragrant.
"By the way, I only realized this time when you went out that we only have one photo together. Let's go to the city and take some more when we have time."
"Okay," Gu Jun replied vaguely.
Shu Yun chatted idly, but Gu Jun didn't respond for a long time. She wiped her hands and tiptoed towards the bedroom. Afraid of waking Gu Jun, Shu Yun didn't go close. She just looked at him from the doorway and saw that he was already fast asleep.
Shu Yun then noticed that Gu Jun had lost a lot of weight recently, his cheeks were sunken, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Shu Yun felt a little sorry for him, so she quietly closed the door and told Gu Jun to get some rest.
After sleeping for a few hours, Gu Jun felt much better. While the two were having dinner, Gu Jun remembered Shu Yun's suggestion from earlier in the day, "The army gives us a day off tomorrow, so we have some time. How about we go to the city to take pictures tomorrow?"
Shu Yun nodded. It just so happened that she also had a day off tomorrow. However, when she looked up and saw Gu Jun's appearance, she hesitated for a moment, biting the end of her chopsticks and glancing at Gu Jun's face from time to time.
Gu Jun was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Shu Yun said, "How about we take the photos later?"
Gu Jun was even more confused. "Huh?"
Shu Yun coughed, "You're a bit sloppy now." She didn't look at Gu Jun, but instead rubbed Ah happy, who was lying obediently at her feet. Her little ears were soft and felt very comfortable to touch.
Gu Jun didn't react at first, but when he saw Shu Yun's guilty look, he was furious. Shu Yun pinched A Xi, and Gu Jun pinched Shu Yun's chubby cheek, "You still dare to complain about your man? You've gotten quite chubby and cowardly."
Shu Yun was initially feeling guilty, but when Gu Jun pinched her chubby cheeks, she became unhappy. She slapped Gu Jun's hand away and said confidently, "I'm telling the truth. Look at your hair, it's grown long. Go to the hair salon to get it cut tomorrow. Also, your face is so tanned, your skin isn't in good condition, and you're almost unrecognizable from being so thin. When we take a picture together, it won't look good."
Gu Jun had only been teasing her, but after hearing Shu Yun's long string of words, it felt like a knife had been plunged into his chest, and he felt a pang of pain.
Shu Yun left as soon as she finished speaking, but looking at Gu Jun's back huddled on the stool, she felt a little sorry for him.
She coughed involuntarily, feeling a pang of pity, and said, "Dajun, take some more time to recover. Your handsome features are still there. I'm waiting for you to make a miraculous transformation."
Gu Jun turned to look at Shu Yun with a resentful expression, rubbing his face, which he thought was now extremely thin, and sighed deeply. He now had reason to suspect that Shu Yun had been attracted to his looks back then!
This incident made Gu Jun feel a sense of crisis. The next day, Gu Jun went to get a haircut. He said to Old Zhang, the barber who cuts soldiers' hair, in a coy manner, "I want to cut it short, but can you tell me how to cut it so that I can look more handsome and good-looking?"
Old Zhang: Hmm...
He's been shaving soldiers' heads for ten years now, and he's had that kind of request before, but he would never do it to someone with a handsome face like him. Besides, his hair-cutting skills have deteriorated from cutting soldiers' hair. You could say that his specialty is shaving a buzz cut.
Old Zhang met Gu Jun's expectant eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay."
He agreed readily, and the haircut looked exactly the same as the officer next to him getting his hair cut—a buzz cut!
Gu Jun returned home disappointed. He would look in the mirror every day, which made Shu Yun cover her mouth and chuckle. After another week, Gu Jun felt that he was almost back to normal and immediately said, "Xiao Yun, I'm off this weekend. Let's go to the city to take a picture together."
Taking group photos has almost become a source of anxiety for Gu Jun, and Shu Yun nodded in agreement.
However, she glanced at Gu Jun's messy, unkempt eyebrows and pressed him down to sit in front of the dressing table. "Don't move, I'll fix your eyebrows." Fix eyebrows? Is that something a grown man should do? Gu Jun was about to stand up to refuse when Shu Yun threatened, "If you don't fix them, we won't go take the photos."
Having his weakness exposed, Gu Jun reluctantly sat back down in his chair, muttering, "You were the one who suggested taking a group photo." Now it sounds like he's begging her!
Shu Yun smiled and waved the small razor blade, "To be repaired or not?"
Gu Jun gritted his teeth, "Repair it!"
"That's right." Shu Yun rewarded him with a kiss on the cheek. She often groomed her own eyebrows and was quite skilled. With a few quick strokes, she had trimmed his two stiff, sword-like eyebrows, removing the stray hairs around them, making them look even sharper and cleaner.
Shu Yun patted Gu Jun on the shoulder with satisfaction, then handed him a round mirror. "How is it? I did a good job fixing it, didn't I?"
Gu Jun looked left and right but didn't find anything different. However, when he met Shu Yun's expectant gaze, he nodded and said against his will, "Indeed."
Then, Shu Yun applied some face cream to him. It was oily and fragrant, which made Gu Jun feel uncomfortable on his face. He turned his back and wanted to wipe the oil off his face with his sleeve, but before he could do so, Shu Yun grabbed his hand and said, "Don't wipe it. It will dry in a while."
This time when we went to the city, we also brought Ah-happy along. As a member of the family, she should also come to the countryside.
So in the final photo, the couple leaned against each other, Shu Yun smiled gently, her head tilted slightly towards Gu Jun, and although Gu Jun's face was serious, it was not hard to see from his eyes that he was also happy, even with a touch of tenderness, and a small dog was lying at Shu Yun's feet.
"Come on, everyone look this way."
The people are frozen in time; the photos carry beautiful memories. Cherish them, preserve them, and savor them in the future.
