Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute-Chapter 171 - 170 How Deep is the Scheme of Chief Tang

Chapter 171 -170: How Deep is the Scheme of Chief Tang Da (4) Chapter 171 -170: How Deep is the Scheme of Chief Tang Da (4) Embarrassed, she didn’t know how to stand in front of Tang Zelin.

“Well, I don’t have anything else, Group Captain Tang, you carry on with your work.”

After saying that, she turned to leave.

But her arm was grabbed by Tang Zelin, and Su Shu shivered all over.

This… this… was the first time he had initiated physical contact with her, ah ah ah!!

In the night, Su Shu’s face turned red in an instant.

Tang Zelin looked back at the departing troops, half of them had already left, and there wasn’t much time left to talk.

So, he got straight to the point, “I might be away for two days. If you have any trouble, go find Ji Dong. I left him behind to keep an eye on the resettlement spot, understand?”

Su Shu turned back to look at him, somewhat unclear about what he meant.

Tang Zelin sighed, “You’re tough in Peng Village, so why do you act like a meek lamb here?”

The color drained from Su Shu’s face, “It’s different here.”

Here, with more people and more gossip, the complexity of human nature far exceeded that of Peng Village, and she was taking care of Xiao’ai, so she had to be careful.

“I know why you wanted to distance yourself from me before, afraid of trouble?” Tang Zelin asked.

Su Shu shook her head, “Not afraid of trouble, but afraid of drawing attention.”

These past few days, with the title “Group Captain’s Fiancée” above her head, many people had come by to take advantage. They praised her while their eyes lingered on her belongings.

Now, aside from Xiao’ai’s milk powder, a deck of playing cards, and a small sleeping bag to keep warm, she had been forced to “gift” away her other good items.

Because the troops’ soldiers were selfless, as a prospective “military spouse,” she too had to live up to that image.

They didn’t come to see her, because aside from the customary gifts, like everyone else, she genuinely didn’t have much else to give.

She also didn’t dare take out anything more from the space.

All this, she did not plan to tell Tang Zelin, nor was there a need. If anything, she could endure another half a year until they changed locations and she got her own private space. Then she wouldn’t have to care about these things anymore.

Tang Zelin looked into her eyes for a long time, then suddenly his lips quirked into a smirk, “Has some of your stuff been taken advantage of by others?”

Su Shu’s eyes lit up. How did he know?

“Being engaged to an army officer during special times does make one an easy target,” Tang Zelin added.

Su Shu was annoyed, thinking to herself, knowing that, why did he still do such things?! It was making things hard for her.

Tang Zelin chuckled softly, then said seriously, “If you run out of things, should I give you mine?”

“No need, others can manage, and so can I. It’s not a big deal.”

“Alright, if you need something, come to me, and I’ll help you get it. Being related to me during these times can be a bit troublesome, sure, but you should also know that having a connection with me can be beneficial for you and your niece.”

Su Shu looked at his smiling face, not quite understanding the meaning of his words.

Tang Zelin, resigned, couldn’t resist flicking her smooth forehead with his finger.

“Silly girl, my woman, who dares to mess with her.”

What?! Su Shu was petrified…

Seeing her dazed look, Tang Zelin didn’t have any more time. He gave her head a gentle pat, “It’s cold outside, hurry back. If you have any complaints, wait until I return to discuss them.”

He turned around, and before Su Shu could react, he was already striding towards the troop formation.

Su Shu stood there, watching the tall figure gradually disappear into the night.

What did he mean by what he just said?

Long after, while Su Shu was eating instant noodles, she suddenly looked up, nearly startling Li Xiaoxia.

Li Xiaoxia asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Su Shu blinked and suddenly came to her senses, staring straight ahead so intensely that it almost made Li Xiaoxia’s hair stand on end, before finally hearing the girl utter,

“Was I just… flirted with?”
