Chapter 348: Life is really good like this!

"He has his own style when it comes to management, but during a mission, he injured his leg and lost sensation in it."

"The various Military District Hospitals held a joint consultation, but no one knew where the problem lay."

"Later, he retired from the military and returned to his hometown."

"But it seems he hasn't been doing very well."

Chen Xun stated the situation, but he did not say anything else regarding whether it would specifically work out.

These were his own comrades-in-arms; it should not be Nan Nan who helps him bear this.

Nan Nan only needs to choose the people she needs; as for his comrades, he has his own way of handling it.

"Nan Nan, you don't need to worry about me, just think about your own needs," Chen Xun said carefully, fearing she might feel pressured, as he tidied her hair.

An Yinan shook her head, "I'm not thinking about those things."

"Xunge, how is his ability? Is he okay with financial matters?" An Yinan asked.

She knows the hardships of soldiers, knows the exhaustion of training, and also knows they bleed and sacrifice on the battlefield.

But her factory only needs suitable people.

She cannot let her factory become a mess just because of her sympathy, or she would lose more than she gains.

If he is suitable, she would not mind if he is disabled.

If he is not suitable, she would not consider him either.

She has her own principles.

"No problem, he didn't retire immediately after being injured; he was transferred to an Office Clerk position for over a year, where he was responsible for military supplies and finance."

"But I heard something happened at home, so he retired directly."

He only talked to Nan Nan about it because the conditions were a match.

"Xunge, how about this: you make contact and see if we can meet in Beijing, then I will determine his position."

"But rest assured, since I've asked someone to go to Beijing, I will take this person on."

With a trustworthy character and such great ability, it would be strange if she didn't want him, right?

Chen Xun hugged her, "Thank you!"

Nan Nan tapped his nose, "There will be many times you'll thank me in the future!"

"If you count it like that, Xunge, you'll have to thank me for a lifetime."

Chen Xun rested his chin on the top of her head, feeling that soft, fuzzy sensation, "Okay."

An Yinan looked up, "Why do you say okay to everything?"

An Yinan could see the faint smile in his eyes; it seemed that even if she were being unreasonable, he would still understand and be tolerant.

He did not answer, only held her tighter.

"The seaside here is very beautiful; change your clothes, and I'll take you out for a walk," Chen Xun said in a low voice.

An Yinan's eyes lit up; how could she have forgotten?

This is the seaside; she can eat seafood!

"You go out, I'm changing clothes," An Yinan immediately pushed Chen Xun out the door and then bolted it.

"The weather is so sunny today~" An Yinan hummed a familiar tune and found a dress to change into.

She tied her hair into a bun, wearing a pale yellow dress, which gave her a different style.

Youthful and beautiful, with a touch of playfulness.

"I'm ready, do I look good?" An Yinan opened the door and spun around, the pale yellow hem of her dress tracing an arc in the air.

Chen Xun stepped into the room in one stride, his hand hooking the door shut immediately.

"What's wrong?" Nan Nan asked with a mischievous smile.

Chen Xun grabbed her meddling little hands and said in a muffled voice, "Nan Nan, if you want to go out today, don't tease me."

"Otherwise..."

"I can guarantee you won't be able to walk out this door."

An Yinan wrinkled her nose and gave a cold snort.

She walked out of the room without looking back.

Chen Xun felt helpless; does she not know how much attraction she holds for him?

He picked up a jacket from the room and then locked the door.

Walking downstairs, he saw An Yinan chatting happily with that sister-in-law.

An Yinan liked this sister-in-law very much; she spoke with great reason, and her views were very similar to her own.

"Captain Chen is downstairs, you two should hurry out and play."

"It's hard for him to get a day off, so you two should go out and stroll around to experience the characteristics of Yangcheng," the sister-in-law said with a smile before returning to her work.

Chen Xun walked to An Yinan's side and took her hand.

Neither of them spoke, just walking forward in that tacit understanding.

"Is there seafood here?" An Yinan was still thinking about her seafood plan.

"Seafood? Fish and shrimp?" Chen Xun asked.

Although he had been here for over four months, he was either on a mission or in the process of one every single day.

Even though that gang hadn't appeared, he still had to keep watch on the trains.

Not just him, the people from their Northeast Military Region were actually already distributed across all the trains.

He also kept traveling back and forth between various cities and Yangcheng.

An Yinan nodded, "Yeah, haven't you eaten any since you came here?"

Chen Xun answered honestly, "No, I've been on missions the whole time."

Only then did An Yinan remember his mission, and she also remembered the location of their mission.

"Today, Nan will let you eat your fill!" An Yinan felt extremely bold at this moment.

Chen Xun smiled dotingly and said cooperatively, "Nan, I can eat quite a lot!"

The way he said "Nan," curling it around the tip of his tongue, somehow changed its flavor.

An Yinan's expression didn't show it, but her ears had already started to turn red.

Chen Xun stopped teasing her; if he teased her until she got ruffled, he would still be the one who had to coax her.

"There seem to be quite a few people over there, shall we go take a look?" Chen Xun pointed into the distance.

With that distraction, she also forgot the shyness from just a moment ago.

It turned out that group of people was collecting fish and shrimp caught by the fishermen, and many fishermen were going over to sell them.

"Do you want to eat some? We can buy some," Chen Xun said.

An Yinan thought for a moment, "Let's buy some on the way back."

If they bought them now, they would have to carry them around, which would be too much of a hindrance to their stroll.

One had to know they didn't have that much time to cultivate their relationship; how could they let a meal of seafood get in the way?

"Alright," Chen Xun agreed.

As long as it was something she said, he would agree to it.

However, regarding this discovery, she only smiled and did not say it out loud.

The two of them, blowing in the sea breeze, walked along the seaside, listening to the sound of the water in the sea.

Looking at the place where the sky and sea met, she could feel a sense of relaxation in both body and mind without needing to speak at this moment.

"Shall we sit for a while?" Nan Nan suggested.

Chen Xun found a relatively dry spot, took off his shirt, and spread it on the ground.

Then he let her sit down and draped her coat over her.

"The sea breeze is cold, put this on, don't catch a cold."

An Yinan sat down; apart from the fishermen in the distance, there was no one else by the seaside.

People nowadays were all busy making a living; where would they have the time to appreciate such beautiful scenery?

She leaned her shoulder against Chen Xun's shoulder, closed her eyes, felt the sea breeze brushing her face, and listened to the waves and the breathing of the person beside her.

"This kind of life is truly wonderful!" she sighed.

"It's a pity, one can only enjoy it for a moment."

Chen Xun asked in confusion, "Why?"

Only to hear Nan Nan, who was leaning on his shoulder, say, "A life that is too comfortable will make people lose their fighting spirit!"

And she, she had no right to rest.

Her own goals had not yet been realized.

The two of them leaned on each other quietly, occasionally saying a few words.

Most of the time, they just felt the fleeting tranquility.
