Chapter 341: Almost Turning into a 'Waiting-for-Wife' Stone

~8 min read 1,434 words

Zhang Qian didn't look like a soldier at all, leaning crookedly against a tree at this moment.

"It hasn't been long, you're almost turning into a 'waiting-for-wife' stone."

Just before Nan Nan came back, the cold air was whistling so hard that you didn't even need a fan standing next to him.

Don't even get me started, this ghost weather in the Southern Front is truly unbearable; you start sweating at the slightest movement.

"I'm sorry." An Yinan admitted her fault.

She was also in a time crunch, and her own matters were very important as well.

Although she felt guilty in her heart, she didn't think she was wrong.

Chen Xun saw her eyes darting around and knew she didn't think she was wrong at all.

And he didn't think she was wrong either.

She had always just been herself!

"Finished with your work?" Chen Xun skipped this topic directly.

After all, there were two glaring eavesdroppers behind them.

"Finished a little bit." An Yinan stretched out her small hand, using her thumb and index finger to gesture for Chen Xun to see.

Chen Xun held her hand.

"Have you eaten?"

An Yinan shook her head honestly; she hadn't realized it until now, but at the mention of it, she was starving.

The last thing she had was the Steamed Bun she secretly gnawed on while inside the sack!

After a busy day, her stomach was almost flat from hunger.

Only then did Chen Xun straighten his face, "You must eat on time from now on; no matter how busy you are, you must finish your meals."

"Are they always like this?" Fang Yi poked Zhang Qian beside him in disbelief.

Is this getting married?

Why does it look like raising a daughter?

And that ice block Chen Xun, how can he be so gentle when he speaks?

That Comrade An is a tough person who climbed snowy mountains for rescue and faced such harsh wind and snow without a single issue.

How is she so delicate and soft now!

Did he do too many missions today?

Yeah, that must be it, he recognized the wrong person!

But the person next to him didn't care about his internal monologue and patted Fang Yi on the shoulder, "This is just the beginning."

"Learn from this!"

Chen Xun's face turned a bit dark, and An Yinan covered her mouth, amused.

"Let's go eat; we won't get angry for the sake of people who aren't worth it!" An Yinan pulled his hand and walked in front.

While Fang Yi was still stunned, he was patted by Zhang Qian.

"Still not leaving? They'll be out of sight in a moment."

Fang Yi came back to his senses, "Hey, isn't it bad for us to go over?"

Zhang Qian gave him a look like he was an idiot, "Getting a free meal, and you think it's bad?"

Fine!

Fang Yi actually couldn't refute that!

An Yinan ordered four portions of rice noodle rolls directly, three large and one small.

By the time the two of them came over, An Yinan had already set out the chopsticks for them.

"Nan Nan is still the best!" Zhang Qian sighed.

An Yinan looked at him with a half-smile; he seemed to have forgotten that after joking too much, he would be dealt with by a certain petty guy.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Fang Yi didn't call her by name directly this time, but instead addressed her according to Chen Xun's side.

The title of sister-in-law immediately made Chen Xun's expression improve.

An Yinan was a bit surprised; was this man a little too easy to coax?

While the few of them were talking, the rice noodle rolls were brought up.

An Yinan ate bite after bite, finding it extremely delicious.

Moreover, she had been hungry for a long time, and being able to eat a hot meal now was enough to move her.

In fact, it wasn't just An Yinan who hadn't eaten; Chen Xun hadn't eaten much either, first busy interrogating those people, and later, because he was in a bad mood, he didn't eat at noon.

Not to mention that An Yinan had gone missing, and he was worried about her.

In an unfamiliar place, she was a young woman; how could he not be worried?

After the few of them finished eating, Fang Yi had some common sense this time and pulled Zhang Qian away directly, giving the two of them some private space.

Of course, Zhang Qian was just teasing Chen Xun to get revenge for his daily training.

However, he was never sloppy when it was time to disappear.

"Why did you come to Yangcheng?" Chen Xun held An Yinan's hand as they walked through this strange City; he felt exceptionally steady in his heart now.

An Yinan spoke with great animation about things after school started, talking about the reunion of the sisters.

She also talked about building a workshop and opening a shop.

However, she didn't mention the matter of treating that old man, but she did bring up the grumpy Professor Feng.

He hadn't expected that in less than five months, his wife had set up such a large operation.

Watching her speak to the point of happiness, her eyes were so bright that the stars in the sky were ashamed and hid behind the clouds.

She recounted her past without reservation.

Her happiness, her anger, her pride.

She was so vivid and lifelike, very different from the her of the past.

Yet she was still her, and had never changed at all.

"So you came to look at the factory?" Chen Xun extracted the important content.

An Yinan nodded, "But the factory has been found; before, I wanted to contract a line to specifically make our clothes."

"But now!"

She grinned, beating around the bush.

Hehe, once she signs the factory transfer contract tomorrow, it will definitely give him a start.

Seeing her mischievous look, Chen Xun couldn't help but pinch her nose.

The little woman wrinkled her nose in displeasure, representing her resistance.

Along the way, there was only the sound of clear, silver-bell-like laughter and low, deep responses.

Returning to the Guest House attached to the Military District, the people working inside were all military dependents.

"Captain Chen just got back?" A sister-in-law saw a man and a woman walk in, and although puzzled, she still greeted them.

Chen Xun said, "Sister-in-law."

An Yinan also smiled and followed suit, calling out, "Sister-in-law!"

That sister-in-law looked An Yinan over, her face full of smiles, "Who is this?"

Chen Xun immediately said, "My wife!"

That proud expression looked as if he were afraid others wouldn't know.

An Yinan wasn't embarrassed either, smiling generously at that sister-in-law.

"She's truly radiant!" the sister-in-law exclaimed.

A girl from the Southern Front? Doesn't seem like it; she is over 1.7 meters tall, and she even has to look up at her.

But a girl from the North? Doesn't look like it either, her skin is so radiant!

The whole person looks extremely delicate, especially those watery, big eyes that seem to speak, giving a feeling of wanting to say something but holding back.

"Thank you, sister-in-law," An Yinan said.

She was quite generous, which gave the sister-in-law a very good first impression.

"Give me your identification and marriage certificate; I need to register them here," the sister-in-law said.

If there is no marriage certificate to prove they are a married couple, they cannot stay in the same room.

An Yinan raised an eyebrow; hmm, she actually did bring them.

It wasn't that she brought them on purpose; it was mainly because she kept all her documents in her space, so wouldn't she have them wherever she went?

"These," An Yinan handed the items over.

After the sister-in-law finished the registration, she returned the documents to An Yinan.

"To save resources for the Military District, you two as a married couple should just stay in one room," the sister-in-law said nicely, and directly handed over a key.

Chen Xun took it and thanked the sister-in-law, "Sorry for the trouble, sister-in-law."

"No trouble at all. There is hot water over there; you two can take two kettles in a while," the sister-in-law said without standing on ceremony.

This sister-in-law spoke with a Northern accent; she was likely a Northerner.

Chen Xun obediently carried An Yinan's backpack on his back, then held two kettles in one hand and held An Yinan's hand with the other.

No matter how many things there were, he never let go of Nan Nan's hand.
