Wang Lili had been Chen Yuchun's follower since childhood in the family compound, and Chen Yuchun decided to support her.

So, before going to work, the two of them took the opportunity to visit Zhou Yanshen's new house.

Just as Chen Yuchun was about to knock on the courtyard gate, the door opened—and she knocked on Zhou Yanshen's chest muscle.

The firm touch on his hand startled Chen Yuchun. "You're Zhou Yanshen?"

Zhou Yanshen reacted quickly, taking a step back and frowning as he looked at the two people in front of him: "I am Zhou Yanshen. May I ask who you two are?"

Chen Yuchun couldn't utter the question that was on the tip of her tongue.

She looked at the man before her—tall and imposing, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his entire figure upright like a pine tree. The sunlight slanted across his face, making his angular features look as if they had been carved with a knife.

He was dressed in a well-fitting casual suit, the top button fastened, which accentuated the clean lines and restrained elegance of his neck. Most captivating of all were his eyes, deep and unfathomable like a frozen pool; when they swept over her with a fleeting glance, her heart skipped a beat.

She had seen many soldiers, but she had never seen anyone wear civilian clothes with such a cool and seductive air.

Chen Yuchun stammered out the question that was on the tip of her tongue, and even her face inexplicably turned red.

Handsome, good-looking, so good-looking.

In her more than twenty years of life, she had never seen such a handsome and charismatic man with a pleasant voice and an imposing presence.

"Um...did you just move here?"

Zhou Yanshen frowned, but before he could speak, Wang Lili, who was standing next to him, was also momentarily dazzled by Zhou Yanshen's handsomeness, but she was currently furious.

Her family had been planning this place for half a year. She was crammed into a small tenement building every day. Even if the other party was incredibly handsome, it couldn't stop her resentment from rising. Although there were other teachers' houses during this period, none of the other houses had such a large plot of land behind them!

Wang Lili shrieked, "Who do we have here with such audacity! Don't you even know your place? You're just a regimental commander, yet you dare to live in this division commander's area. If you get promoted to division commander, will you be living in the army commander's compound?"

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a relationship with Commander Li! I advise you to be sensible and move out as soon as possible, lest I report you to the higher-ups! Do you think you can live in this house for free? You're just a regimental commander who climbed up from the countryside, what right do you have to occupy this place without doing anything?"

"Our family waited for half a year, and you just parachuted in and robbed us! Have you no shame? Let me tell you, this isn't over. Today I'm going to go door-to-door in the military compound and tell everyone to come and judge for themselves. Let's see if you, the regimental commander, aren't ashamed to live here!"

Zhou Yanshen glanced at Wang Lili indifferently, thinking to himself that it was indeed because he was assigned to this place that trouble had arisen.

However, he was just a little short of being promoted to the next level. Once he brought Wanqing back, he could work harder and be promoted directly, at which point there would be no more gossip.

"Lili, don't speak so loudly, you're scaring Comrade Zhou Yanshen."

Chen Yuchun pulled Wang Lili behind him, then blushed and said to Zhou Yanshen, "Comrade Zhou Yanshen, I am Chen Yuchun, a surgeon at the General Hospital of the Military Region. This backyard belongs to my father. My father is Commander Chen, you should have heard of him, right? We live quite close by, we'll see each other all the time..."

Wang Lili stared at Chen Yuchun in shock.

No, sister, didn't we say we were coming over to argue and ask Zhou Yanshen why he was allowed to live here?

Why do you speak so haltingly whenever you see someone?

"Sister Chun, have you forgotten why we came here?"

Chen Yuchun felt a little uncomfortable under Wang Lili's gaze. She coughed lightly, smoothed her hair behind her ear, and faced Zhou Yanshen with a perfect profile, but patiently spoke to Wang Lili:

"Lili, you can't say that. We're here to get to know our new neighbors, aren't we? There must be a reason why Comrade Zhou Yanshen is able to move in."

Perhaps they come from a distinguished family, have made significant contributions in some area, or possess some extraordinary talent... which is why they were assigned here.

Otherwise, you know Commander Li; he's an extremely fair and just person, and would never abuse his power for personal gain. Since he made the assignments, he must have his reasons.

She then turned to look tenderly at Zhou Yanshen, "Right, Comrade Zhou Yanshen? We all admire Commander Li. Actually, Lili's family had been waiting in line for a long time for this house, but Commander Li arranged it for you. There must be a reason, right?"

Chen Yuchun liked Zhou Yanshen more and more the more she looked at him.

Over the years, she has been pursued by a long line of men. She doesn't even look at the lowest-ranking battalion commander. Many regimental commanders have also pursued her, but those commanders are either in their thirties or in their twenties and are ugly.

To sum it up in one sentence: those with high social status are often incredibly ugly; those who are good-looking often have low social status and come from poor families.

There is no one as young, handsome, and imposing as Zhou Yanshen, who was directly promoted to regimental commander.

You'd be hard-pressed to find one as perfect as this.

Moreover, she thought that Zhou Yanshen must have some ability to move here at such a young age, otherwise how could Commander Li silence the gossip?

In that sense, Zhou Yanshen's value increased by another three points.

Even if Zhou Yanshen has no other abilities, if she marries Zhou Yanshen... wouldn't she be living in this house?

She's the lady of the house now!

Her family home was just a few dozen meters behind her, and the man she married held a high position. Most importantly, he was incredibly handsome—she was practically perfect!

Zhou Yanshen understood that these two people had come to cause trouble.

He was dressed casually today, which accentuated his tall and straight figure. He was carrying a bag full of food, preparing to catch his train. He came out, locked the door, and then said:

"Oh, I don't know Commander Li, nor do I know why he assigned me this courtyard. But since you've said that Commander Li is always selfless, then I believe there must be a reason why he assigned me this house, and a reason that I deserve."

After saying that, he prepared to leave. He didn't want to argue with these two people, one being the daughter of a high-ranking official and the other the daughter of a low-ranking official. He wanted to catch his train as soon as possible.

Chen Yuchun listened to Zhou Yanshen's voice and thought it was so beautiful that she was about to faint.

His tall, upright figure blocked the sunlight as he walked by, and he exuded a pleasant scent...

He was so confident and aloof.

Wang Lili grabbed Chen Yuchun and shouted, "Sister Chun, you heard that! You heard it all! Zhou Yanshen said that he is just an ordinary regimental commander. He doesn't even know any Commander Li. Commander Li must have made a mistake!"

Sister Chun, quickly tell your superiors that there's been a mistake, Zhou Yanshen shouldn't be living here at all... Get the house back! Besides, if he doesn't have any special skills, it doesn't meet the regulations; even if he's Commander Li's son, he can't live here! Sister Chun, quickly tell your father; he's given the order, Commander Li wouldn't dare let him live here!
