My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty
Chapter 85: Who Did You Touch?

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Who Did You Touch?

Tang Chuxia shrank her head behind the leader, a face of innocence and purity that almost drove Tang Jianjun to despair.

But the leader looked at Tang Chuxia with appreciation.

Although she seemed quite sly, one could tell that she really cared about her family.

The relaxed atmosphere also eased the awkwardness of their recent acquaintance, and Tang Chuxia, feeling the mood was good, decided not to provoke Tang Jianjun any further.

The leader was very interested in Tang Chuxia’s behavior throughout the meeting; he had a keen eye for people and noticed that, aside from her seeming naiveté, she had a knack for capturing people’s hearts.

After everyone sat down, the leader turned to Tang Chuxia, "I believe your second brother must have told you why I was looking for you when you came here, right?"

Tang Chuxia nodded, "It must be because my second brother did something wrong, and uncle wants me to come scold him for you!"

The leader laughed heartily and did not refute her.

He was happy to have the chance to take down the high-and-mighty Tang Jianjun!

However, he did point out where Tang Chuxia was playing dumb.

"I’ve heard about your abilities and would like to invite you to join our Special Forces!"

The leader was direct, without beating around the bush. Tang Chuxia looked up at her parents. They showed no reaction, seemingly respectful of Tang Chuxia’s own choice.

Finally, her gaze landed on Gu Beihuai, who had no expression with his eyes cast down.

Tang Chuxia maintained a sweet smile, "Uncle, it’s not that I don’t want to join, but I cannot!"

She sighed after speaking, pointing to her head and saying, "Don’t think that I can use my Divine Power without any consequences; each use comes with a price—it depletes the very foundation of my body."

Hearing this, everyone stared at her in shock.

"Actually, uncle, you must have consulted with the military doctors and Elder Huang, and you surely know that if I continue using my power without restraint, there can only be one outcome—early death."

Speaking of death, Tang Chuxia seemed unfazed, as she knew her own body best.

Madam Tang immediately hugged her, turning to the leader, "Comrade, it’s not that I don’t want Xiaxia to join the military and protect our country, but she is my only daughter. Moreover, I already have three children serving in the army, can’t I keep my daughter with me?"

The leader felt awkward.

He also realized that taking Tang Chuxia away would indeed be cruel to her parents.

He quickly spoke up, "That’s not what I meant. It’s not about forcing her to enlist; it’s about asking for her opinion. Plus, this girl is not just strong; she’s also very smart. We would like her to participate in some work that could potentially bring unexpected benefits."

The leader explained so much in one breath, afraid that Madam Tang might misunderstand.

Madam Tang waved her hand, "Xiaxia has been mischievous since she was little, and frankly, she’s not that good in her studies. She’s not as great as you say. I just want her to be safe and sound with me. Just a few days ago, Elder Huang diagnosed that my child’s life hangs by a thread!"

She couldn’t continue, tears falling.

The leader felt uneasy and didn’t know what else to say.

Tang Jianjun graveley spoke, "Leader, she’s my only sister. She has always been sickly since childhood. Although she’s strong, every use of her power results in unbearable pain. If the leader understands, could you please exempt Xiaxia from military service?"

The leader sighed, "You should understand that even without my invitation, people who get wind of her ability will come seeking her. What will you do then?"

Pointing to Tang Chuxia, he said, "At least with us, you’ll be there to take care of her, making sure she doesn’t use her powers unless necessary. Can you guarantee the same in other places?"

Tang Jainjun clenched his teeth; even though the leader was right, his heart ached.

Tang Chuxia realized that her actions could really bring her a great deal of trouble.

Just as she was about to agree, so as not to trouble her family—a scenario the original owner definitely wouldn’t want to see—

"She could join Tianji!"

Gu Beihuai interjected, stopping Tang Chuxia from speaking, drawing everyone’s attention.

What is Tianji?

Perhaps only the leader knew.

It was a secretive division, not governed by any particular agency, but directly reporting to the highest leader and taking on highly confidential missions.

Even Gu Beihuai knew of it by chance.

The leader shook his head, "Her abilities are not yet up to standard. Tianji picks its people from childhood, through strict selection. It might have been possible if she were chosen when she was younger but now, as an adult, it’s not possible!"

Gu Beihuai nodded, "Then that’s an excuse too. Tang Chuxia’s physical condition is clear for all to see. No one wants the guilt of recklessly risking her life. Right now, she doesn’t wield enough power to make everyone fight over her."

Although he was belittling her, he was also saving her.

Tang Chuxia narrowed her eyes at Gu Beihuai, feeling like Gu Beihuai was genuinely insulting her.

Always seizing any opportunity to trick her, just as the original owner had done.

Nemesis, oh!

But she so loved it!!!

Without dwelling on what Tang Chuxia thought, the leader pondered for a moment after hearing this, stroking his chin, "That’s true, I was too eager!"

He looked to Madam Tang, "Big sister, it was my fault. She’s a good kid. If she’s looking for a job later, she can consider the military district first—we will definitely reserve a position for her!"

Madam Tang wiped away her tears, "Definitely!"

The conversation didn’t last much longer, as there was still disaster relief work that needed the leader’s attention, and he soon departed.

After coming out from the leader’s, Tang Chuxia gave Gu Beihuai a strange look that made him feel uneasy.

"What are you looking at?"

Gu Beihuai frowned at her.

Tang Chuxia revealed a radiant smile, "Looking at you!"

Gu Beihuai: Is that not obvious?

"You’re good-looking, you know!"

Tang Chuxia added, making Gu Beihuai’s face darken.

Good-looking was not a term typically used to describe men.

Tang Jianjun patted Gu Beihuai on the shoulder, "Huai, just accept it. Remember to marry someone who will adore you in every way!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

Indeed, true siblings.

Because of her health, Tang Chuxia was not assigned to the rescue work that followed and was told to go home and rest. However, just before she left, she encountered some people who privately gave her their contact information.

For someone with Divine Power, there was still someone interested, no matter how sparing.

As Gu Beihuai had said, merely being strong was not enough to stir ripples.

Once back home, Tang Chuxia slept for a full day and night before feeling somewhat better. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Nanzhi propped at the side of her bed, hands resting on his cheeks, sporting a grin that was utterly heartfelt.

"Sister, who’s the handsome youth you’ve been dreaming of?"

Tang Chuxia leaned back against her pillow, genuinely startled.

Gu Nanzhi rolled his eyes at her, "Can’t you speak? What do you mean dreaming of? Couldn’t I have just been ’touching’?"
