Chapter 176 Befriend the Second Leader of Team A 2/5
Stella, whose earlobes were sensitive points, felt her whole body soften all of a sudden, and the fatigue from a whole day's work was completely forgotten at this moment.
He followed Long Zhan's pressure without any resistance and was crushed on the new sofa he just bought.
"Ding dong! Ding dong!"
At this juncture, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"You are such a charming little fairy. I almost fell into your trap again."
The evil man Long Zhan complained first and then teased Stella. Before Stella jumped up and punched the person with small fists, she ran to the door with a few strides.
When I opened the door, I saw a man and a woman.
They all looked to be around 30 years old, and they all had friendly smiles.
The door of No. 323 opposite is also open. It is not difficult to guess the identity of this man and woman, they are the new neighbors of Long Zhan and the others.
The most important thing is that Long Zhan knows this man, and the two have just fought side by side.
The man also recognized Long Zhan and said with a smile: "When new team members move in, Robert will always remind us. Unexpectedly, we are still from the same group."
"This is indeed very strange. I guess you are the second person in charge of Team A."
Long Zhan knew what he was asking, and took the initiative to extend his hand and introduce: "My name is Long, and this is my girlfriend Stella. I am very happy to be your neighbor."
"Hi, nice to meet you." Stella stretched out her hand to say hello.
"You can call me Derek."
Derek shook hands with Long Zhan and introduced the plump and bespectacled woman next to him: "This is my wife Tracy, nice to meet you too."
Derek's left arm seemed to have been seriously injured, with several long, bumpy holes on it.
Stella couldn't help but shrink her pupils when she saw it.
Fortunately, she adjusted her expression in time and did not make the atmosphere awkward.
Long Zhan also saw Derek's scars and knew that they were caused by the bomb reaching his arm, resulting in the loss of a large amount of muscle tissue.
With so much muscle tissue missing, it can only be said to be a miracle that there was no amputation.
"You seem to need help. We can help. The salary is a family dinner. How about it? Do you want to hire me?"
Derek saw the items filling the living room and offered to help in a humorous way.
Compared to proactively offering help, Derek's humorous approach can obviously make the person being helped more receptive.

This also reflects Derek’s “emotional intelligence”!
"Oh, that's great, please help us, I can't take it anymore."
Stella agreed immediately, then took the initiative to hold Tracy's hand and said enthusiastically: "Oh, God, I can finally be freed.
Trish, can you give me some advice? I think you know how to decorate a new home better than I do."
"sure!"
Tracey readily accepted the invitation and waited for Derek to walk into the room and start fighting with the dragon.
Suddenly explained: "In October 2010, Derek's team was attacked by a rocket launcher in Diyala Province, and he was one of the lucky ones."
Tracy just noticed Stella's fearful eyes, so she made a special trip to explain.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare."
Stella lowered her head and straightened her hair to hide her embarrassment.
"No need to apologize, I understand."
Tracy smiled and said: "In the first year when it happened, I often couldn't help staring and even forgot the color of his eyes."
"This is too terrible to imagine..."
Stella took a deep breath and did not say the next words.
She couldn't imagine how bad her mood would be if Long Zhan went out and came back missing a part of his body.
The string that was originally worried about Long Zhan's safety was tightened again at this moment.
Tracey saw Stella's nervousness and comforted her: "Only the first one or two years are difficult. After that, as long as you get used to it, you can start a new life rhythm and it won't have much impact."
"Yes, he seems to be recovering well."
Stella calmed down her emotions and asked: "Was he okay when he was just injured?"
"Derek is very strong. He picked himself up after returning to the army and never let me down."
Tracey's eyes looked at Derek, full of admiration and burning emotion. There was not much worry, it was all about enjoying the life between the two of them.
After pausing for a while, he continued: "You know, what's more difficult than seeing him in pain after the operation is watching him endure the pain and climb the wall for recovery training.
I thought I could leave it at home and stay with me quietly for a while.
As a result, he became like a dog that gnawed on the furniture. He couldn't stay at home at all, and soon he couldn't bear it and ran off to perform tasks again. I really couldn't do anything about him."
After saying this, Tracy laughed.
Stella's haze caused by Derek's arm was also diluted a lot.
"It seems that you are getting along very well. Maybe I should learn from you in the future. Let's go. It's time for us to go in and help together to prevent them from messing up things."
Stella didn’t want to talk about this depressing topic anymore, so she pulled Tracy into the house.
With the help of Derek and Tracey, the originally troublesome work suddenly became easier, and the four of them quickly arranged it while talking and laughing.
Tracy likes Stella's intelligence very much, and Derek and Long Zhan get along very well with you.
After finishing his work, Long Zhan paid his "wages" and invited Derek and his wife to a nearby restaurant and treated them to a feast.
After dinner, Derek also kindly invited Long Zhan to his house for a drink together.
The foundation of neighborly relations was thus laid.
With the official start of living together in a new home, Long Zhan's life began to become more rhythmic, and his personal interests were developed by leaps and bounds.
It only took less than a month, excluding two outings in between.
Long Zhan used his time every afternoon at home to write his first single from a layman who knew nothing about music——
"You Belong With Me"!
To be precise, I copied the first one, because it was a joyful song expressing love written by Swift in the world of Long Zhan's previous life that became popular all over the world.
