Chapter 104 The kid's secretly pleased, isn't he?
At lunchtime, Gu Jun and Zhao Hui walked towards the cafeteria while talking. Zhao Hui joked, "Why haven't you been getting food for your wife lately? You must be feeling pretty good about it."
Gu Jun: "She's at work, eating in the cafeteria."
Zhao Hui snorted, "I've finally figured it out: valuing women over friends."
As the two were talking and passed the notice board, Gu Jun turned a corner and walked closer. Zhao Hui, puzzled, followed him. "What's wrong?"
Gu Jun said proudly yet reservedly, "My wife drew this issue's promotional poster. Take a look."
Zhao Hui pursed his lips, but followed along anyway. Zhao Hui's first impression of the painting was one of shock, and his second was one of excitement. Sometimes the impact of a painting is stronger than the appeal of words, carrying a strong emotional impact, stirring up passion and a sense of mission and pride as a soldier.
Zhao Hui was about to praise Shu Yun when he glanced at her for the third time. Hmm? Why does this soldier look so familiar? He looked at the sketch, then at Gu Jun, and asked suspiciously, "Did your wife draw this while looking at you?" Otherwise, why does it look somewhat like her?
Gu Jun's lips curled up slightly. "I don't know."
Zhao Hui mocked him, "You little brat, all you do is put on airs, aren't you? You're secretly pleased with yourself."
Shu Yun was speechless. When she was drawing, the first image of a soldier that came to mind was Gu Jun. She had already controlled the brushstrokes, but she still managed to capture the spirit of the character. Soon, the belated teasing in the office finally arrived, and Shu Yun's face remained flushed all day.
That evening, Gu Jun returned home happily and reached out to hug Shu Yun from behind, but Shu Yun was unhappy. She pinched Gu Jun's arm, but the muscles were too firm and she couldn't move it much. To Gu Jun, it was like tickling an itch. He leaned closer to Shu Yun and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shu Yun: "It's nothing, I'm just in a bad mood, I'm taking it out on you."
Gu Jun: ...
Fine, he's tough as nails, let his wife pinch him!
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are more and more mosquitoes. I wonder if it's because Shu Yun is hot-tempered, because the mosquitoes love to bite her!
Especially in the publicity department, when I first came to report, I thought the grass was lush and the greenery was beautiful, but now I am suffering terribly. In just one morning, my arms and calves were covered with no less than ten big welts.
Moreover, there are many tiger mosquitoes in densely wooded areas, and tiger mosquitoes are particularly vicious. Every time you bite, you feel unbearably itchy. Even if the itching subsides the next day, you will feel itchy again for a while the following day.
"Smack." Shu Yun swatted a mosquito that had been sucking blood from the back of her hand until its belly was bulging and it was dizzy from eating. Her hand was covered in blood!
A colleague joked, "Ever since Xiao Shu came to our office, the mosquitoes have stopped bothering us and are all circling around her."
"Yes, mosquitoes also like pretty people."
Shu Yun swatted another mosquito with a "smack," her face expressionless. When would this summer ever end?
On their day off, Shu Yun and Gu Jun were too lazy to cook, so Gu Jun went to the cafeteria to get lunch. Shu Yun was enjoying the breeze from the fan, but the buzzing of mosquitoes in her ears annoyed her and made her irritable.
No, she needs to find some mugwort to fumigate the area and make some mugwort sachets to repel mosquitoes and other insects.
She left a note on the table, carried a bamboo basket on her back, and walked up the mountain. Ah happy followed beside her. The little guy had grown quite a bit recently. His fur was shiny and thick in the sunlight, and he already had the imposing presence of a wolfhound. You could no longer see the cowardly little guy he used to be.
It was the time when the mugwort was ripe and its leaves were growing vigorously. Shu Yun picked a basketful and leisurely walked down the mountain wearing a straw hat.
Suddenly, she heard a child's urgent cry not far away, "Axi, let's go!" Shu Yun called to Axi and quickly walked towards the source of the sound.
There is a small river at the foot of the mountain. It is crystal clear, but it looks shallow. It is actually quite deep inside. Usually, adults keep their children from playing by the river.
However, with the hot weather these days, there are always a few children who, wanting to cool off, secretly run to the river to swim and enjoy the cool air.
When Shu Yun arrived at the riverbank, she saw a black head struggling to rise in the middle of the water, but it quickly sank back down. The child was struggling incessantly in the water.
Shu Yun's expression turned serious. She was about to rush down, but the memory of drowning made her legs instinctively go weak and her breathing become rapid.
No, she can't go into the water, and she can't save anyone!
She turned to call for help, but the child had been struggling in the water for some time, with a lot of water in his mouth and nose, and was already exhausted. His cries for help were much softer, making Shu Yun hesitate for a moment as she turned around.
She gritted her teeth and said to Ah happy, who was beside her, "Quick, go and call someone over."
After saying that, she jumped into the river. It's okay, she can swim.
Ah happy followed and called out a few times, but Shu Yun didn't turn around. It was very intelligent; it looked back several times before quickly running back the way it came, "Woof woof woof."
Shu Yun was in much better condition than she had imagined. Her muscle memory allowed her to float in the water. She took a deep breath and swam toward the child. Shu Yun went around behind the child, hooked her hand around the child's head, and lifted the child's head to the surface so that he could breathe.
Everything went smoothly. Shu Yun dragged the child slowly towards the riverbank, but before they reached the shore, the child regained his strength and began to struggle in the water. Shu Yun couldn't resist him and was instead exhausted by him. Her body sank uncontrollably. When the water reached her mouth and nose, Shu Yun suddenly opened her eyes wide. Her eyes were sore and swollen. She didn't want to die.
Despair gave her a surge of strength, and Shu Yun struggled in the water. When her strength was almost exhausted and her body sank weakly to the bottom of the river again, she seemed to hear a dog barking.
Ah-happy, is someone here? Or is she hallucinating?
"Xiaoyun." A deep and powerful male voice rang out, and Shuyun, still half asleep, seemed to sense anxiety and unease in it.
Two splashes echoed as Shu Yun fell into the water. She also seemed to hear a woman crying. Were they the child's parents?
Shu Yun's thoughts began to muddle again. As Shu Yun's body continued to sink, a pair of strong arms caught her and swam her towards the shore.
Shu Yun was led ashore by Gu Jun. "Little Yun, how are you?"
Shu Yun was still conscious and coughed several times. "No, it's nothing. Where's the baby?"
"The child has been rescued and taken to the hospital." Gu Jun used his clothes to wipe the water droplets from her face.
Shu Yun was soaked to the bone. Even in summer, she was prone to catching a cold. Gu Jun picked her up and said, "Let's go back first."
Shu Yun nodded, leaning against Gu Jun's chest. She could hear his strong but somewhat rapid heartbeat. His arms were tightly wrapped around her, and Shu Yun actually felt a little pain, but she didn't say anything. She patted Gu Jun's arm and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just a little exhausted."
Gu Jun: "You scared me to death." He pressed his face against Shu Yun's forehead.
