Chapter 190 First date

Wen Cheng'an was unaware that he had been looked down upon by the two birds. He walked in with a cheerful smile, putting on his best smile.

As it turned out, Shi Xia wasn't home.

He smiled wryly: No wonder they let him in.

"Young man Wen, can you carry water?"

"can!"

Must be able!
Grandpa Shi asked, and Wen Chengan answered quickly, picking up the empty buckets and going out.

Next, after fetching water and chopping firewood, weeded the yard, then pulled weeds, and then dried the fish.

Wen Chengan didn't even have a sip of water all morning, working tirelessly and trying his best to perform well.

At noon, Shi Xia returned carrying a large basket of fruit.

She dreamed about mangoes last night, and wanted to eat them as soon as she woke up this morning.

With her exceptional drive, she set off on her own, heading out to sea, remembering that there was a deserted island where mangoes grew.

"Wen Cheng'an?"

Shi Xia put down the fruit basket and looked at Wen Cheng'an, who was wearing a vest and covered in sweat.

"What are you doing?"

"Shi Xia! I'm the deputy battalion commander now."

Shi Xia raised an eyebrow; she thought it would only reach the company commander level.

"Great!"

"hey-hey."

Wen Chengan scratched his head and laughed, "I'll finish this job."

"it is good."

Shi Xia glanced at Grandpa Shi, who seemed a little guilty, and simply walked over to him, coaxing him, "It's alright, he's already married your own granddaughter, you can let him do whatever he wants!"

"Really?"

"Of course! You're my grandfather!"

Grandpa Shi nodded affirmatively, as if he had been given an imperial edict, which made him even more imposing.

But let's cook first.

"Hey Wen, can you cook?"

"meeting!"

Wen Chengan followed behind Grandpa Shi and said sweetly, "Grandpa Shi, I don't know many dishes. What does Shi Xia like to eat? I'll learn from you."

"You don't even know what Shi Xia likes to eat? What are you good for?"

"My bad, my bad."

Wen Cheng'an smiled and didn't seem to mind at all, and Grandpa Shi didn't deliberately make things difficult for him either.

"Learn from this: my Shi Xia isn't someone you're going to marry and have someone to serve you."

"Absolutely not! Even if we get married in the future, I'll still cook for you. If I'm away on a mission, I'll have Shi Xia come home to eat."

"That's pretty much it!"

Grandpa Shi was satisfied with Wen Cheng'an's words and began to teach him how to cook.

Shi Xia sat in the yard washing her hands, peeled a mango with a knife, cut it into small pieces, ate it on a skewer, and watched the two people inside busy at work.

Since Wen Cheng'an is on vacation, she'll go to R country a few days later.

Wen Chengan ate lunch here, and Shi Xia also tasted his cooking.

Meeting Wen Cheng'an's expectant gaze, Shi Xia nodded in approval.

"Not bad, but still a little bit worse than my grandfather."

Wen Cheng'an immediately understood and said, "That's for sure."

Grandpa Shi was coaxed into smiling by the two of them.

In the afternoon, Wen Chengan didn't go anywhere; he stayed at Shi Xia's house and learned to cook from Grandpa Shi.

Grandpa Shi felt that Wen Chengan had too few holidays, so he should take advantage of the time he could to learn.

One teaches diligently, one learns diligently, and one observes diligently.

That evening, Wen Chengan didn't stay for dinner; he went back to keep his aunt and Uncle Wen company.

Shi Xia saw him off at the door, and Wen Cheng'an moved closer, tugging at Shi Xia's sleeve and shaking it back and forth.

"How about we go to land tomorrow?"

"Wen Cheng'an, where did you learn these moves?"

Shi Xia looked at her sleeve, and Wen Cheng'an said without any embarrassment, "It comes from the bottom of my heart!"

"Speak normally!"

"Yes! Then tomorrow?" "Go!"

Shi Xia agreed, and Wen Cheng'an didn't dare to make any further intimate moves, as several pairs of eyes were watching him from the doorway.

"I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."

"Ah."

Shi Xia nodded, and Wen Cheng'an turned back every few steps, returning to the next room in three strides.

The next morning, Wen Cheng'an, as was his habit, got up early and went for a run in the village. Shi Xia also got up, but she didn't run; she just sat at one spot and watched Wen Cheng'an run.

Every time Wen Cheng'an ran a lap, he would bring something back for Shi Xia: a wildflower, a wild fruit, or a pretty stone.

In short, the little pleasures between lovers may seem a bit silly to outsiders, but the two of them enjoy them very much.

After their morning run, the two went back together, each returning to their own homes to have breakfast.

Around eight o'clock, Wen Cheng'an changed his clothes, wearing a white shirt and black pants, looking handsome and energetic.

As a result, Shi Xia also wore a white shirt and black pants, and she looked great, with an added touch of roguish charm.

Wen Cheng'an exclaimed upon seeing it, "It's so beautiful!"

"You're handsome too."

The two set off together to the pier, waited for the ferry together, and began their first date after officially confirming their relationship.

After the ferry arrived, the two boarded the ship, and Wen Chengan took out a mat from his backpack and laid it on the ship.

"cold."

Shi Xia nodded and sat down, showing her thoughtfulness.

Wen Cheng'an sat down next to her, his palm open, revealing five orange segment candies.

"I also brought pumpkin seeds, dried shrimp, and shredded squid for dessert."

Along the way, Wen Cheng'an brought Shi Xia water when she was thirsty, chatted with her when she was bored, and provided her with plenty of food. In short, he was so attentive that even strangers were envious.

One of the girls in the young couple got angry after seeing this, and upon comparing herself to her boyfriend, she realized that he was being far too indifferent.

The ferry finally arrived in town. After the two got off, Wen Cheng'an said familiarly, "Let's go see a movie first, then have dinner, and finally do some shopping?"

"Sure, it's up to you."

Shi Xia had no objection.

She's also quite interested in watching movies, though she hasn't seen any films from this era yet.

Wen Chengan led the way, and the two went to the movie theater.

Calling it a movie theater isn't quite accurate, because it's just a room with a cloth in front, film reels in the back, and a dozen or so long benches in the middle.

The two sat in the back, watching a classic film about tunnel warfare. It was very funny, and Shi Xia laughed several times.

Wen Cheng'an chuckled several times: She likes it.

After the movie ended, the two walked out from behind, while the people in front were discussing the film.

Just as I stepped out, someone called out uncertainly from behind, "Chen Cheng'an?"

Wen Cheng'an paused, turned around, and said, "My name is now Wen Cheng'an."

"It really is you! What happened to you, you little rascal!"

Wen Chengan nodded to the other person and introduced, "This is my former neighbor, Ma Da."

"My partner."

As for his name, Wen Chengan didn't say; his relationship with Ma Da was just so-so.

"You're something else, kid. What are you doing now?"

"I joined the army."

Wen Chengan interrupted Ma Da's attempt to inquire after he finished speaking.

"My partner and I have to go now."

"Hey, hey, hey—what's so great about him? He's just a stinking soldier!"

After taking a few steps, Shi Xia suddenly turned around and pulled Wen Cheng'an back.

"Show me your military officer's ID."

"Oh."

Wen Cheng'an obediently took it out, and Shi Xia took it and opened it.

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully, my boyfriend Wen Chengan is a deputy battalion commander."

"Also, soldiers are soldiers. Without them protecting our country, where would you get the peaceful life you have now? You've wasted your time watching Tunnel Warfare."

"If you dare to insult soldiers again, I'll sue you!"

Shi Xia carefully put away her military officer's ID card, then pulled Wen Cheng'an away.

Wen Cheng'an's lips curled up, an expression he couldn't suppress.

It's so nice to be protected by my partner.
