Since graduating from the training class, Ma Yuzhen has observed the things around her more carefully than before.

When you're fine, you're aware of your surroundings.

Even at home, she is vigilant.

Especially during this time, after carrying out reconnaissance missions in the Central Plains Company and the old city government, she always kept an eye on the surrounding situation.

In the past, Ma Yuzhen slept deeply, and she didn't make too much noise, so she wouldn't wake up.

During my time at Shude Primary School, there were often emergency training sessions in the evenings.

This keeps her awake even when she sleeps.

At the slightest sound, she would wake up.

When Lu Chengzhou came back just now, although her steps were lighter, she had already woken up.

When Lu Chengzhou walked up the stairs, she quickly got up, leaned behind the door, and listened carefully to the movement outside.

Every time Lu Chengzhou took a step, she silently counted in her heart, 1, 2, 3 ......, and after 22 steps, she finally couldn't hear the footsteps.

Ma Yuzhen was about to turn around and go to sleep when she suddenly heard a slight voice from upstairs.

She was very strange, there were only Lu Chengzhou and Zeng Zilian upstairs, how could there be a voice to speak?

Could it be that when Lu Cheng came back on Monday, Zeng Zilian ran over?

Ma Yuzhen gently twisted the lock of the door and turned it slowly, for fear of making too much noise.

When the door opened, she took off her shoes, slowly loosened the lock, and crept out.

Opening the door, Ma Yuzhen saw a faint light coming from upstairs.

She is very familiar with the furnishings of the living room, and can move around freely even with her eyes closed.

She hunched over, tiptoed the steps of the stairs, and walked upstairs step by step.

Towards the second floor, she leaned against the wall, across the floor, and observed the study.

Ma Yuzhen listened attentively, her eyes staring at the crack under the door of the study.

Although she could only see the floor inside, Ma Yuzhen still made a discovery.

Her eyes suddenly widened, and there was a look of incredulity on her face.

She saw a pair of bare feet, small, white and tender, in this house, apart from herself, there was only a pair of feet like Zeng Zilian.

Just when she was surprised, the door of the study suddenly opened, and Zeng Zilian, who was wearing white pajamas, walked out.

"We'll talk about that tomorrow." Lu Chengzhou whispered at the door.

If Ma Yuzhen was in the room, he would definitely not be able to hear what he was saying.

But at this time, Ma Yuzhen was five meters away from Lu Chengzhou, and this voice clearly reached her ears.

She lowered her body, she didn't dare to breathe, and she didn't even dare to raise her head, for fear that her gaze would make them feel it.

"Okay." Zeng Zilian answered softly and walked back to her room.

Lu Chengzhou didn't enter the study either, and after turning off the light in the study at the door, he walked to the bedroom next door.

Ma Yuzhen supported her body with her hands, like a cat, with her hands and feet, step by step.

Walking around the corner, she straightened up, touched the handrail, and cautiously walked back to the room.

After lying on the bed, Ma Yuzhen's mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

Lu Chengzhou and Zeng Zilian were secretly chatting at night, which she never expected.

What is their relationship?

This is the question that Ma Yuzhen thinks about the most.

Since Ma Yuzhen learned that Lu Chengzhou was a Japanese spy, she hated Lu Chengzhou very much.

A promising young man turned into a lackey of the Japanese, which made her really unable to figure it out.

Every time she saw that Lu Chengzhou was complacent with her current profession, she was particularly despised.

However, seeing Zeng Zilian chatting with Lu Chengzhou in the middle of the night, and as soon as Lu Chengzhou came back, Zeng Zilian went to her study, which shows that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

Zeng Zilian mentioned to her before that she should give full play to the advantages of her relationship with Lu Chengzhou and take the opportunity to lurk beside Lu Chengzhou.

She was very resistant at the time, she and Lu Chengzhou were indeed childhood sweethearts, and she did have a good impression of Lu Chengzhou before.

However, after knowing Lu Chengzhou's true identity, as long as she saw Lu Chengzhou, she felt an indescribable disgust.

Being able to live at No. 15 Road 24 is already her biggest concession, and if she is allowed to develop a further relationship with Lu Chengzhou, she really can't do it.

However, now that Zeng Zilian has started to act, there is an indescribable sadness in her heart.

Is it because you have no love for Lu Chengzhou? Or do you think Zeng Zilian is not worth it?

Originally, seeing this kind of thing, she shouldn't have any waves in her heart.

But why is the mood so heavy?

One night, Ma Yuzhen was thinking about this issue, and she kept telling herself that this matter had nothing to do with her.

However, I tossed and turned until dawn, and I didn't fall asleep.

Hearing the sound of her mother getting up outside, she sighed secretly and began to change her clothes.

"What's wrong with you?" When Zeng Zilian went downstairs, she saw Ma Yuzhen listless, her eyes were red, and she asked in surprise.

"It's fine." Ma Yuzhen glanced at Lu Chengzhou, who walked downstairs, and said in disguise.

Lu Chengzhou also noticed Ma Yuzhen's mental state, judging from Ma Yuzhen's performance, she must have something on her mind.

Was it last night's talk that caught her attention? Or does she have something else on her mind?

No matter what, Zeng Zilian would tell herself in the afternoon.

Lu Chengzhou usually had breakfast and would go out immediately.

Zeng Zilian and Ma Yuzhen, after Lu Chengzhou left, they could move freely.

Mr. and Mrs. Ma Hougu are ordinary people, and their activities do not need to worry about alarming them.

After Zeng Zilian returned to the room, Ma Yuzhen quickly followed her to her room.

"Sister Zilian, you talked to Lu Chengzhou last night?" Ma Yuzhen didn't need to hide her inner emotions in front of Zeng Zilian.

"Did you hear that?" Zeng Zilian said in surprise.

She suddenly understood why Ma Yuzhen's eyes were red.

"I didn't hear it, I just heard it talking upstairs." Ma Yuzhen didn't say anything, she hid at the staircase and eavesdropped.

"Didn't you sleep all night?" Zeng Zilian pursed her lips and smiled.

Lu Chengzhou's relationship can be hidden from others, but it is difficult to hide it from Ma Yuzhen.

After all, they live together every day, and they have to exchange information with Lu Chengzhou.

She also knew that one day, Ma Yuzhen would know, but she didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

"Yes, Sister Zilian, Lu Chengzhou is a special day, do you really want to sacrifice yourself?" Ma Yuzhen said with a sigh.

"So you're worried about me." Zeng Zilian smiled and said, it seems that Ma Yuzhen does not know Lu Chengzhou's true identity.

"I'm afraid you'll suffer." Ma Yuzhen's face turned red.

Her thoughts, in Zeng Zilian's opinion, may not be sacrificial.

As a woman, when she was in the training class of Shude Primary School, Zeng Zilian specially taught them this lesson.

Women should give full play to their strengths, be absolutely loyal to the party-state and the leader, and have a spirit of sacrifice and dedication.

This sacrifice involves giving emotionally, even physically.
