Chapter 343: Can't Do It Anymore?
"Oh! Chen Xun, why have you come back again?"
Zhang Qian was on his way to the restroom when he happened to see Chen Xun returning; he was very confused—with a warm, fragrant beauty in his arms, why did he keep running back?
"Go to sleep!" Chen Xun's voice was somewhat cold.
He had just run ten laps outside to suppress the primitive impulse in his heart, and only then returned to the dormitory to get his basin and towel.
Zhang Qian was muddled with sleep at the moment, but later, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt!
"You... that..."
"Are you not capable anymore?"
With Zhang Qian's gaze darting downward, the meaning was already expressed very clearly.
Chen Xun's face turned black; you're the one who's not capable! Your whole family is not capable!
"Get lost!"
The two cold words were slapped directly onto Zhang Qian's face; by the time Zhang Qian reacted, Chen Xun had already taken his basin and gone to wash up.
In the middle of the night, he returned to the Guest House.
His wife's little face was flushed at the moment, there was some sweat on her forehead, and the pajamas she was wearing were somewhat wrinkled.
He dared not look any longer; the reason he had just regained seemed like it would be gone forever the moment he saw her.
An Yinan, however, was sleeping soundly and did not know that a man had stood guard for her all night!
And she was indeed too tired; she hadn't rested well these past few days, and once she fell asleep, there was no telling when she would wake up.
In the morning, bursts of drilling sounds came from the window, and she woke up to the familiar sounds.
Back when she was at the Northeast Camp, she used to wake up to these very slogans, and now it was still the same; it was truly good.
Her brain slowly recovered, and she thought of everything from last night; her face turned a little red.
After washing up, she changed into a long-sleeved dress; she hadn't put on the new spring and autumn style yet.
"Rested well? How did you sleep?" The sister-in-law's expression was very normal, with no intention of teasing.
An Yinan could still tell the difference!
"Very well, I'm full of energy today!" An Yinan answered with a smile.
One look at her appearance, and one could tell she had truly rested well.
"This neck of yours..." The sister-in-law frowned.
When she arrived yesterday, the lights were dim, and plus it wasn't obvious at the time, so the sister-in-law had only been busy looking at her appearance and hadn't seen the marks on her neck.
After a night, the marks hadn't faded; instead, they looked somewhat terrifying, having turned blue and purple.
Seeing the sister-in-law's expression, she realized what was happening.
"I ran into them on a mission yesterday and was taken as a hostage; it was done by the criminals over there!"
An Yinan hurriedly explained; this source of misunderstanding must not be opened.
Upon hearing this, the sister-in-law immediately thought of her own husband's words from yesterday and naturally knew what was going on.
"Such a pretty neck, those bandits were actually able to lay a hand on it." The sister-in-law felt some heartache.
At first, she had even thought it was done by Chen Xun!
It was fortunate that his wife explained it, otherwise, it would have been a huge misunderstanding.
An Yinan didn't know whether to laugh or cry; hers was just a neck, while others were risking their lives, so why wouldn't they be able to lay a hand on it?
"Sister-in-law, I'm going out to take a look."
An Yinan left the Guest House, wearing a long dress that swayed slightly in the breeze.
Her long hair was held in place by a light blue Butterfly Knot, and the pure white dress made her look like light itself, so bright it was hard to keep one's eyes open.
Team One after team returned to the Military District, and Chen Xun also walked out very quickly.
"Are you awake?" Chen Xun asked.
An Yinan nodded, "Do you still have to train?"
Although they had come to help complete the mission, it was also a good opportunity to compete with each other.
"The mission is completed, and we will be returning in a few days."
"When I reported the progress today, the Chief gave me a day off!"
He was quite honest and didn't say he had asked for leave himself.
"Borrow a bicycle and take you to see the factory?" An Yinan said.
She had intended to draft the contract yesterday, but she was too tired, so she could only write it when she got there.
"Alright, wait for me; I'll take you to eat in a moment," Chen Xun instructed.
Not until he received An Yinan's affirmative answer did Chen Xun run quickly into the Military District.
"Captain Chen has been very famous in the Military District lately," the sister-in-law walked out of the room and said to An Yinan.
"Oh?" An Yinan was very interested.
"Him? Once he starts training, he acts like his life doesn't matter."
"In the Military District, only a reputation earned through fighting lasts the longest."
The sister-in-law seemed to be chatting idly as she told An Yinan stories about the Military District.
After Chen Xun pushed the bicycle over, the sister-in-law happened to be looking in that direction.
Seeing Chen Xun coming, she lifted her chin to signal An Yinan to look over.
As soon as An Yinan turned her head, she collided with Chen Xun's eyes; he came from afar, and his eyes were filled only with her.
"Alright, you two go get busy." The sister-in-law was also someone with tact; seeing the clingy look between the two, she said this and hurried back into the room to get busy.
Chen Xun looked at An Yinan's dress, "Can you sit on this?"
An Yinan nodded; she usually didn't wear this dress, mainly because it was too eye-catching.
Moreover, she did not pay much attention to her attire, but ever since she opened the shop, she had changed quite a bit in this regard.
After all, their image partly represented the taste of the shop.
"That works!" An Yinan sat sideways on the back seat of the bicycle.
"Let's go, I'll give you directions." An Yinan had a good memory, and she guided the way according to the locations she remembered.
"Huh? Why did you stop?"
An Yinan looked at the surrounding environment; they hadn't reached the destination yet!
Chen Xun did not explain, but simply locked the bicycle, then took An Yinan's hand and led her across the street.
"You haven't had breakfast yet!"
He had long since grown accustomed to Nan Nan's occasional confusion.
"Two bowls of wonton noodles, please," Chen Xun said to the owner.
"Coming right up." Hearing this, the person over there hurried to cook the noodles for the two of them.
In less than ten minutes, the owner brought over two bowls of wonton noodles.
An Yinan poured half of hers into Chen Xun's bowl; this bowl was quite large.
"I have enough to eat, don't go hungry."
Chen Xun picked up three wontons and put them back into her bowl.
An Yinan squinted her eyes, looking like a contented little cat.
"Delicious." An Yinan was sweating at the tip of her nose from eating, and her little face was flushed red.
Chen Xun used the back of his hand to wipe the sweat from her nose, then said, "Eat slowly, there's no rush."
An Yinan nodded, but the speed at which she was eating did not slow down.
"I can't eat any more." There were still two wontons left in An Yinan's bowl.
Chen Xun took the bowl, poured both the soup and the wontons into his own bowl, and began to eat in large mouthfuls.
In less than two minutes, he had cleared the bowl.
After paying the owner, Chen Xun said to An Yinan, "Hold on tight."
An Yinan's hands gripped the clothes on both sides of Chen Xun's waist; although she really wanted to hug her man's waist, in this society, she wasn't that bold yet, so she could only think about it.
This time Chen Xun increased his speed; he had deliberately slowed down earlier to look at the breakfast stalls on both sides of the road, but now he was riding very fast.
Fortunately, one couldn't wear short skirts now, otherwise she would definitely have been exposed.
