Chapter 167: Hitting People

An Yinan had originally only been pushing her luck, but she hadn't expected Chen Xun to just warm her feet up like that; she listened obediently, smiling as she opened her mouth.

A single bowl of rice took a full twenty minutes to feed.

An Yinan leaned against the chair, her feet feeling warm, and the whole person felt a bit sleepy.

Chen Xun put the bowl down, then took her feet out and scooped her up in a bridal carry.

Feeling a sudden sense of weightlessness, An Yinan stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Chen Xun's neck.

Chen Xun looked at the girl who had suddenly gasped in surprise, and while holding her in a bridal carry, he pecked at her lips.

Before, he hadn't understood what love was.

Now he seemed to understand a little; just her lips made him feel as if he had become addicted.

"You haven't eaten yet," An Yinan realized, burying her head in his chest.

Chen Xun smiled, "I eat very quickly."

He carried the girl to the kang, then pulled down the folded quilt and covered her with it.

An Yinan widened her eyes; she had always thought he was a tough guy, but every time there would be surprises—his gentleness and attentiveness, his patience and consideration, and his love made her want to be spoiled and arrogant, made her want even more.

"Close your eyes," Chen Xun felt his body heating up from being watched, so he helplessly reached out and covered those lively eyes, the culprits that were making his mind wander.

"Oh," An Yinan pouted her lips; having just eaten, her lips still carried the fragrance of rice.

Chen Xun lay on his side next to An Yinan, leaned over to kiss her lips, and as they rubbed against each other, he felt her warmth and his own heartbeat.

An Yinan's eyes were covered, and the sensation on her lips was infinitely magnified, making her forget to breathe.

Chen Xun suddenly stopped, used his hand to gently wipe away the traces of their kiss, and then patted An Yinan's back.

"Sleep."

The hand over her eyes never moved away.

An Yinan bit her lip, just about to ask something.

Chen Xun pulled her into his embrace, patted her gently, and coaxed her in a soft voice, "Get a good sleep."

Slowly, An Yinan didn't know when she had fallen asleep.

It was just that when she woke up, the warmth beside her was already gone, leaving only her alone, curled up in the quilt.

Opening her eyes to look at the dim sky outside, she pulled the quilt over her head and hid inside, laughing to herself.

It seemed she had found a treasure!

That day, An Yinan had slept for half the day, and just when she thought she would be sleepless at night, she was coaxed to sleep again...

When she woke up again, it was already nine o'clock the next day.

After eating the meal kept warm on the stove, she finally stepped out of the house.

She had wanted to take a slow walk to recover her strength; having been in seclusion for half a month, her physical functions had regressed somewhat. Yesterday she had rested well and restored her mental state, so some of her bodily functions also needed to be slowly activated.

She started walking slowly along the path, her speed increasing bit by bit, and then she slowly began to jog.

"Zhang Qingqing? It's true, how pitiful; Battalion Commander Chen really isn't a decent person. He bullied that girl and then hooked another one and brought her back. If a person like that were in the old days, he should be drowned in a pig cage," said the wife of Company Commander Liu.

"You can't say it like that; that person hasn't even come out of the courtyard, who knows what kind of person she is? Maybe it's a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to suffer," the wife of Captain Zhang laughed.

The wife of Company Commander Liu clapped her hands, "Now that you mention it, that's true. If she were a respectable girl, who could live like that without any explanation?"

After the wife of Company Commander Liu finished speaking, she hurriedly shouted at her girl, "You money-losing goods, didn't you see Jindou fall? Are you blind? How are you watching Jindou?"

Her girl ran up quickly with a stiff expression; this scene had long since become a habit.

"You all say that little vixen is just better looking, but how is she better than Zhang Qingqing? If this Battalion Commander Chen had married Zhang Qingqing, his promotion would just be a matter of time," the wife of Company Commander Liu didn't see the person who had just run up behind her.

And the wife of Captain Zhang didn't know An Yinan either.

An Yinan had only been to the art performance once before, and later she had taken on translation tasks, so she hadn't even left the courtyard.

"Shh, let me tell you, yesterday I saw a man enter that little courtyard of Battalion Commander Chen," said the wife of Company Commander Liu.

"Really? You shouldn't talk nonsense like that," the wife of Captain Zhang hurriedly interrupted.

The wife of Company Commander Liu said, "How could that be fake? I saw it with my own eyes. Battalion Commander Chen was at training, so it's impossible for him to be home."

"You tell me, what could that man do going in there? A lone man and a lone woman..."

Before she could finish, An Yinan, with a dark face, walked straight up, grabbed her clothes, and "slap, slap" went two hits on her face, one on the left and one on the right, very symmetrical.

"Ah! Who are you, what kind of madness is this?" shouted the wife of Captain Zhang.

As soon as the wife of Company Commander Liu saw An Yinan, her legs went weak, but then she hardened herself, "I'll fight you! You cheap thing, you steal a man and don't let people talk about it?"

The wife of Company Commander Liu had farmed before joining the military, so she had a good amount of strength.

But unfortunately, the person she was up against was An Yinan.

An Yinan didn't speak, but directly grabbed her hair and pulled it back hard, forcing the wife of Captain Liu to look her in the eye.

"Come, say what you just said again."

Her voice was calm, without any inflection, but it made people's teeth chatter; there was a sinister feeling to it.

"Comrade, this is the military, let go quickly," the wife of Captain Zhang realized at this moment that this person was the one from Battalion Commander Chen's house.

An Yinan didn't let go, and didn't even look at her, staring straight at the wife of Captain Liu.

"Speak?"

As the words fell, she pulled her hair downward again.

The wife of Captain Liu felt as if her scalp was about to be torn off, "You dare to do it and don't let people talk? You cheap thing, coming to the military to steal a man, and you're afraid I'll tell everyone?"

An Yinan narrowed her eyes, but a smile curled at the corners of her lips.

If Sun Xiaoqin and Xie Yuanyuan were here and saw this smile, they would immediately realize that someone was about to be in trouble.

Unfortunately, those familiar with An Yinan were not there.

With one hand, An Yinan gently touched the neck that was exposed because she was pulling her hair; the coldness of her hand traveled directly from the neck to every nerve.

"Stealing a man? You should know what the consequences are for slandering a military spouse, right?" An Yinan smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dui Zhang Xi Fu realized it was over.

A military wife!

Yet Liu Dui Zhang Xi Fu glared with wide eyes, in a posture of refusing to admit defeat.

"I'm going to report you!" The intense pain in her head, along with the coldness on her neck, made the hair all over her body stand on end.

Her daughter, holding her crying son, stood in the distance at this moment, instinctively afraid to come forward.

An Yinan patted her face, the slapping sound causing everyone around to freeze, including the young soldiers who were about to step forward.

"Great, our goals are the same then, let's go together." An Yinan shrugged her shoulders and let go of her hand.
