Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Continue Sending Letters
Huo Shiqian shook his head, reached out his hand, and gently tugged at her cheek, saying, “Naughty.”
“Ouch!” Xia Chuyi quickly slapped his hand away.
Uncle Liberation Army’s inclination to get handsy was just incurable!
A few seconds later, Huo Shiqian’s hand reluctantly left her face.
Xia Chuyi rubbed her cheek, looking at him quite dissatisfied.
And yet he was the picture of calm, his upright military uniform exuding an aura of integrity, showing no trace of having just teased a young girl.
His appearance was truly deceptive!
She turned her head and walked on, intending to quickly catch up with the snail-paced military vehicle and then send off this Uncle Liberation Army who had no understanding of cherishing the fairer sex.
A laugh that sounded almost like an illusion came from behind her.
“Chuyi, did you receive the letter I wrote you a few days ago?” Huo Shiqian’s voice came from behind.
He was completely ignoring her anger, skipping over the previous subject.
However, mentioning the letter made Xia Chuyi even angrier.
She stopped, hands on her hips, glaring at him with displeasure, “Speaking of that letter, Uncle Liberation Army, you tell me.”
“‘Have arrived at new location, do not worry.’ Just this simple, six words, what do you mean by that? Are you being serious?”
Her tone was filled with genuine resentment.
Not far away, and unusually, Huo Shiqian was silent.
After a while, he walked up to her, touched her head, and said, “Chuyi, I seldom write letters.”
Again with the hands…
Oh well, she had become immune to Uncle Liberation Army’s touchy habit.
“Oh, so what?” But some habits should not be indulged.
Seeing she was still dissatisfied, Huo Shiqian continued to explain, lowering his voice, “I have never written to a girl before.”
What he meant was clear; he had no experience in writing letters to girls.
She looked up at him.
Huo Shiqian’s handsome face was serious and earnest.
“Forget it, I won’t hold it against you.”
Xia Chu had indeed been furious at first when she saw the letter, but seeing his serious explanation, her anger subsided significantly.
Besides, hadn’t she sent him a reply that was just as “brief and to the point”?
One tit for tat, they were even now.
She just wondered what expression Huo Shiqian would have when he saw her letter.
At that thought, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but snicker.
Huo Shiqian looked at her, his eyes filled with question marks.
“Ahem.” She coughed twice, disguising her laughter, “Oh right, I have another one here that I was planning to mail to you tomorrow…”
She pulled out the second letter she had written from her pocket and handed it to him, ignoring the prior incident.
“Is there something important in there?” Huo Shiqian glanced at the letter but didn’t take it, instead, he asked her.
She thought about it and shook her head, “Nothing important, I just told you in there that you shouldn’t write to the Xia Family address in the future.”
“Wait until I open a shop in a while, then you can write directly to the shop.”
“As for the meantime, just don’t write for now.”
Huo Shiqian stopped in his tracks again, looking at her.
“What’s up?” she asked, puzzled.
“Send the letter anyway,” he said calmly.
“What?” Xia Chu was a bit bewildered.
He was already here, so why send anything? Was mailing letters a joke?
“I want you to keep replying as usual. I’ve written you a letter every day over there, and you can respond to me every day. Then in a few days, when I return to the troop, I’ll be able to receive your letters daily.”
Huo Shiqian spoke with ease, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
“What did you say?” Xia Chu was somewhat stunned by his statement, scrutinizing his expression, only to realize he wasn’t just playing around.
