Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 191 The vacation is over
Shi Xia fiercely protected her fiancé, while Wen Cheng'an stood by, even more proud than Shi Xia, his chin held high and his eyes smug, as if to say: Look at my boyfriend!
"Let's go."

"okay!"

Wen Cheng'an followed Shi Xia with quick steps and whispered, "I like it when you protect me."

"Don't you feel ashamed to be protected by a woman?"

"You wouldn't think that I wouldn't give other women a chance if you were me."

Wen Cheng'an's words were comprehensive yet thorough, and Shi Xia nodded, saying, "That makes sense. With me, I really don't need any other women."

Wen Chengan grinned so wide his stomach was almost visible.

The two went to the state-run restaurant. Shi Xia sat down steadily while Wen Cheng'an went to buy food. He ordered a large fish, the day's specialty braised lamb chops, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a fish ball soup.

Three dishes and a soup, served with rice, that's definitely a high-class meal.

Wen Cheng'an brought back the food and three pairs of chopsticks. He didn't eat first himself, but instead picked out the fish bones for Shi Xia.

"I can do it myself."

"I don't have many holidays, so please give me a chance to show my abilities, okay?"

Shi Xia was completely helpless against Wen Cheng'an's whining and pleading, which he did as if it were a meal.

"it is good."

Wen Cheng'an continued to nitpick, making the workers happier than the eaters, which made the people eating nearby grimac. This man has no future!
When Shi Xia saw this, she wanted to stand up for Wen Cheng'an, as she didn't want him to be looked down upon.

"Eating is fine, don't worry about it. Many people don't know how happy it is to have a loved one."

In short, Wen Cheng'an made Shi Xia very happy.

"Wen Cheng'an, keep it this way after we get married. I love it when you make me happy."

Shi Xia would never compromise herself; if she liked someone, she would tell them.

"I'm not just saying this to fool you, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart!"

After Wen Cheng'an corrected her, he watched Shi Xia eat with a smile, and kept putting food on her plate, saying, "I like it when you tell me everything, whether you like it or not."

"I will, I won't wrong myself."

Shi Xia looked up at Wen Cheng'an and continued, "If there's anything you don't like, you can tell me. I may not necessarily change it, but I can listen."

Wen Cheng'an chuckled and looked at Shi Xia with doting eyes.

"You're so cute."

I love everything about you.

Another wave of Wen Cheng'an confessing his love has arrived, making Shi Xia a little uncomfortable.

"Eat well."

"Yes!"

Neither of them cared about other people's opinions; as long as they ate well, that was enough.

After leaving the state-run hotel, Wen Cheng'an was going to take Shi Xia to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"People say you should give your partner a watch when you're dating..."

"I have a watch, and I even bought one for you. It's at home; I'll go back and get it for you."

Wen Cheng'an glanced at the watch on Shi Xia's wrist and said simply, "Then thank you, Comrade Shi Xia. Let's go buy something else."

Shi Xia understood that this money had to be spent today.

"Okay, let's go."

When the two arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, the first place they went was the pastry section. Wen Chengan used all the receipts he had collected from his comrades to buy all the things Shi Xia liked to eat.

Eating is definitely the most precious thing in summer.

After buying food, Wen Cheng'an took Shi Xia to buy clothes. However, Shi Xia didn't like wearing dresses. She did love to look beautiful, but it was really inconvenient for her because she was either in the sea or fighting.

In the end, I bought some fabric and a pair of shoes.

"Shi Xia, wanna buy a bicycle?"

"bike?"

Wen Chengan nodded and took out a bicycle ticket and a radio ticket from his pocket.

One was given by Commander Wei, and the other was obtained from Battalion Commander Cheng.

Shi Xia was thinking about Wen Cheng'an's problem; it seemed like he didn't use the bicycle very often.

"Let's keep it for now, and buy it when we want to. We don't use it much right now." "Okay, then let's buy the radio. We can listen to this anytime."

"it is good."

The sales clerks looked at the two of them with envy; they had all sorts of receipts. How come all the good men were taken by other people?

Soon, the radio was purchased, and the two decided not to linger any longer and simply took the ferry back.

The afternoon after they got back, the two of them tinkered with the radio for a long time before finally handing it over to Yamamoto Seiji.

This kid is smart; the two of them should step back for now.

The signal was bad on the island, and the radio kept crackling.

Holding the radio, Yamamoto Shigeaki wondered in bewilderment: Could this be asking him to build a signal station?

But he hasn't finished resolving the issue of generating electricity yet.

Finally, Yamamoto built the simplest signal tower, the kind of simple half-dish signal tower on a tall tree trunk, and finally got the radio working.

As soon as the radio started playing, several nearby households came over.

The Xu family, the Shan family, the Qu family, and even the aunt next door all listened together, discussing what they found interesting, making it quite lively.

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an sat behind everyone, their legs touching.

Shi Xia hooked her little finger around Wen Cheng'an's thumb. Suddenly, Wen Cheng'an opened his whole hand and grabbed Shi Xia's hand in his palm, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.

Over the next few days, Wen Chengan and Shi Xia went out to sea together, ran together, went diving together, and went up the mountain together.

Apart from those times, Wen Chengan spent all his time improving his cooking skills.

Grandpa Shi taught his aunt, and then his aunt taught the villagers.

Everyone used the same line: "Shi Xia likes my family's so-and-so."

Upon hearing this, Wen Cheng'an thought, "What else can I do but learn it?"

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Wen Chengan will be returning to his team tomorrow.

Around 1 a.m., Shi Xia knocked on Wen Cheng'an's window with a pebble. Wen Cheng'an quietly came out and saw Shi Xia on the wall.

Shi Xia pointed to the roof and whispered, "Look at the stars?"

"it is good!"

Wen Cheng'an turned around and went back into the house to get a mattress. When he came out, Shi Xia was already on the roof.

Wen Cheng'an climbed up, spread the mattress on the roof, pulled Shi Xia to sit down, held her hand tightly, and even leaned his head against her.

Shi Xia didn't push him away, but instead affectionately patted him twice.

"Will we be allocated housing when we go back?"

"Ah."

Wen Cheng'an perked up and looked up at Shi Xia, tentatively asking:
"I'm now a deputy battalion commander, and I'm eligible to be allocated housing. Should we choose a private house or an apartment building?"

“Residential houses”.

Shi Xia answered decisively, while Wen Cheng'an smiled foolishly.

She didn't refuse!

"So you're saying you'll marry me?"

"Not necessarily..."

"what?"

Wen Cheng'an's "Ah!" was a bit loud, and Shi Xia nudged him to remind him, "Keep it down."

"Oh... then how can I marry you? Teach me, I've never been in a relationship before and have no experience."

Shi Xia pushed Wen Cheng'an's face away.

"What, you're disgusted that I've had a previous relationship?"

"No, no, no, I mean I have no experience and I'm afraid I won't do it well!"

Shi Xia stopped teasing him and thought for a moment before saying, "I think you should at least have a proper proposal ceremony, don't you think?"

"A sense of ritual..."

Wen Cheng'an seemed to understand something, then said affirmatively, "Okay! That'll make it more ceremonial!"
