Chapter 89 Let’s Get Married!
Xia Zhi woke up because of the heat and found herself wrapped in two quilts.
She lay there awake for a long time before everything that had happened came back to her mind.
Xia Zhi touched her body with her hand and realized instantly that it was over.
This time the matter was a big deal. If she remembered correctly, they were only wearing inner clothes just now.
The vest and shorts together could barely be considered clothes. Of course, for her, she had experienced the open, tolerant and cool times of later generations. Such contact between men and women, hugging and cuddling was nothing.
But the problem was that it was only the 1970s.
Let alone hugging and cuddling between men and women, even if they just held hands, it would be a big deal if they were seen by others.
That would be criticized and said to be a hooligan.
There must be a distance between the couple, not to mention that they are not just hugging and cuddling now, but also hugging and cuddling like this.
If it was just the two of them, then she and Zhou Zhengan would have explained the matter privately, and there would be no trouble between them, but now it was seen by outsiders.
The two comrades must have seen them hugging each other in a certain situation, still in the same bed.
Zhou Zhengan was eager to save people at that time, and Xia Zhi knew it very well.
Zhou Zhengan must not be blamed for this. In that situation, she was almost dead. If Zhou Zhengan didn't save her, she might have lost her life.
The problem is that saving people is saving people. After the halo of saving people fades in the eyes of others, there will inevitably be gossip and rumors.
For her, at most a girl has ruined her reputation, and Xia Zhi won't care.
But for Zhou Zhengan, the captain of the Zhou team, this is a serious style problem, which will be criticized by others and will have a serious impact on his future promotion and promotion.
Xia Zhi covered her forehead and thought about what to do?
Her hand moved, and immediately attracted Zhou Zhengan's sight in front of the fire.
Zhou Zhengan just couldn't stay in the quilt. Xia Zhi fell asleep and leaned against his chest softly, without any defense. The chemical reaction between the two bodies made Zhou Zhengan a little bit unbearable.
Even if he was frozen to death, he couldn't stay in the quilt any longer.
So he gave the quilt to Xia Zhi.
When he got to the fire, he touched his clothes. Fortunately, the fleece clothes inside were almost dry. Of course, the cotton clothes still needed time, so he put on the fleece clothes and trousers.
He roasted the fire in front of the fire and helped to turn the clothes of the two people over and over, so that they would dry faster.
As soon as the clothes were dried, Xia Zhi made a noise in the quilt.
"I'll take the clothes to you. The clothes are dry. Put them on when you wake up. We have to go out to find cattle."
Zhou Zhengan was actually very anxious in front of the fire. The two comrades left and there was no trace.
But the cattle must be found. They still have to walk at least five miles on this route before they can reach the end.
Xia Zhi had no choice but to make a muffled sound from the quilt,
"Give me the clothes."
Zhou Zhengan looked at her strangely. Xia Zhi had two quilts covering her head. She was not afraid of being stuffy.
But he still handed all the clothes over and put them in the quilt. Then he honestly returned to the fire and added wood to the fire with his back to Xia Zhi.
"Xiao Xia, I am responsible for what happened today. If I hadn't asked you to come out with me, what happened later wouldn't have happened. Don't worry, I will be responsible and won't let you be gossiped about."
Zhou Zhengan just sat in front of the fire and thought for a long time. If he didn't say a word about it when things developed to this point, he would not be a man.
Although he meant to save people at the beginning, he had to save people under any circumstances.
Even if it wasn't Xia Zhi today, if it was another girl, he would save her.
But after saving people, he didn't simply throw them aside.
What happened today was far more than saving people. If he didn't take the initiative to speak, the girl would be embarrassed to say it, and the woman would definitely suffer.
He felt that it would be better for him as a man to take the initiative to speak, so that Xia Zhi would not be wronged in the future.
"Zhou Zhengan, I know you are saving me this time, but I don't want to sacrifice your own feelings for this. After all, you don't like me. I don't like you either. The friendship between us is purely revolutionary."
Xia Zhi hid in the quilt and put on clothes while making it clear that she didn't want Zhou Zhengan to get married for her.
She didn't want to hurt Zhou Zhengan and herself because of this.
They were obviously friends, and it would be a bit too embarrassing if they became husband and wife.
Zhou Zhengan's face darkened again for some reason after hearing this.
"Xia Zhi, I know you are reluctant about what happened today, and I also know you don't like me, but it has already happened.
If I don't marry you, you won't be able to live in the team in the future. Let alone other people's gossip, even some bored idlers in the team will probably come to harass you."
Xia Zhi paused. What Zhou Zhengan said was absolutely right. In the previous life, some single girls and widows were often knocked on the door in the middle of the night, and sometimes someone would bang the door hard in the middle of the night.
This kind of thing will happen once.
Who made it so that there are more men than women here? Bachelor men like to chat with widows and single young women, and some young women with bad reputations will be harassed by many people.
In my previous life, I heard that someone got involved with those people secretly.
Whether willingly or unwillingly, no one knows, but in the end there is no good result.
And with her reputation being damaged, she could easily become a target for others.
"The best way is for the two of us to get married. I know you don't like me. I just think that we can get married for the time being to solve the urgent need now.
At least as your husband, no one dares to harass you.
If one day you meet someone you like and want a divorce, I promise to make it happen for you. "
After Zhou Zhengan said these words, he felt a breath of anger in his heart. He didn't know why this breath of anger made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Zhou Zhengan, if that's the case, let's get married. If you meet a girl you like in the future, as long as you talk to me, I will divorce you immediately and I will never let you go."
Xia Zhi thought about it and decided that getting married was the best way at the moment.
But she had to make her attitude clear, lest Zhou Zhengan think that she wanted to hold him captive.
"Okay! I won't pester you. Let's get together and part ways in the future."
Zhou Zhengan was upset and threw two more firewood into the fire. He didn't know what he wanted to hear Xia Zhi say to him.
