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

Chapter 205 Idle Talk
Battalion Commander Cheng's home.

Battalion Commander Cheng took off his combat training uniform, shirtless, and went to fetch water to wash up, but was stopped by his wife.

"You haven't finished speaking yet, why are you leaving?"

"sit down."

Battalion Commander Cheng was forced to sit down and listened to his wife recount the recent gossip circulating in the family compound.

Battalion Commander Cheng frowned as he listened, his first thought being that these people were really bored.

If Shi Xia found out, he'd give them a good slap, like a bird dropping rain. He'd never seen Shi Xia suffer a loss.

"You asked me to take better care of Shi Xia for you. I think that girl is quite nice. She's straightforward and efficient, and I think she's someone you can befriend. You and Wen Chengan should mention it to Shi Xia, and tell her to be careful. Since you're living in the same residential compound, it won't do if she has a bad reputation."

Commander Cheng understood that Sister-in-law Cheng meant well.

"Okay, I see."

Wen Cheng'an and Shi Xia next door were completely unaware of this; they were having a meal and chatting.

For dinner, Wen Chengan made cold papaya salad and cold noodles—simple and refreshing.

"young married woman…."

Shi Xia's lips twitched slightly. Since the two got married, Wen Cheng'an has become clingy and started calling her "wife".

"Sun Changqiang's family is hosting a dinner party tomorrow night. All the newlyweds in the military have this event. Can our family arrange it for the day after tomorrow? I'm off that day."

"Okay, what time should I go? Do you need any help? Is there anything I should bring?"

Wen Cheng'an looked up and said, "I asked other restaurants, and they all go to help out beforehand. As for tables, chairs, and benches, we men will take care of those, so you don't need to worry about it."

Shi Xia understood, nodded, and the two continued eating.

After dinner, Wen Cheng'an washed the dishes. After he finished, he sat in the yard washing clothes. The young wives and aunties who were passing by saw him, and they would have something to talk about when they got back.

"Are you at home? Have you eaten?"

Battalion Commander Cheng is coming.

Wen Cheng'an looked up, his hands still busy, and said, "I'm done eating."

Battalion Commander Cheng came in without being invited and sat next to Wen Cheng'an, watching him huff and puff as he washed clothes.

"You're really capable, kid."

"If you're married, your wife must be capable."

Battalion Commander Cheng's lips curled into a smirk as he pulled over a small stool and sat down, asking in a low voice, "Is Shi Xia home?"

"She's reading inside."

Wen Cheng'an radiated the joy of newlywed life, which made Battalion Commander Cheng momentarily lost in memories.

He seemed just as happy when he first got married.

"battalion commander?"

"Ah, I've come here for something."

Battalion Commander Cheng told Wen Cheng'an about it. Wen Cheng'an wasn't angry; instead, he disagreed, saying, "They haven't found good husbands, yet they have the nerve to laugh at my Shi Xia. How amusing."

Battalion Commander Cheng's mind went blank for a while. How come it felt like even he had been implicated?
"I'm just giving you a heads-up. They don't know how capable Shi Xia is, so they're making a big fuss. I'll go back and mention it to their men."

Even if it's mentioned, it can only be mentioned subtly; too much can be said.

"Wait a minute, you should talk to my Shi Xia about this. I'm not in charge of my own household."

Wen Cheng'an didn't feel the need to hide it from Shi Xia, and Shi Xia wouldn't be upset at all because a few of the women in the family compound didn't like her.

"Honey, Battalion Commander Cheng is here!"

Wen Cheng'an turned around and shouted, startling Battalion Commander Cheng so much that he almost fell to the ground.

"Why are you yelling? It's such a small matter, why are you calling Shi Xia?"

"What's wrong."

Shi Xia is out.

Battalion Commander Cheng repeated himself, but Shi Xia said dismissively, "Battalion Commander Cheng, you don't need to worry about it, I have my own way."

"Shi Xia, let's make a deal, don't be too ruthless, okay?"

"Commander Cheng, do you think I'm an unreasonable person?"

Battalion Commander Cheng chuckled and remained silent. "Is it that you don't know yourself?"
The one who bullied Wen Cheng'an, I heard, has already been dismissed.

He couldn't believe that a group of people couldn't be saved; he wouldn't believe it if Shi Xia hadn't pulled some strings behind the scenes.

But I have to admit, I'm envious!

She envied Wen Cheng'an for having such a devoted lover who protected him wholeheartedly. After giving a few more instructions, Battalion Commander Cheng left, and Shi Xia turned around and went back to her room to read her novel.

As for changing oneself to please others, that's impossible.

She wants to do it and she is forced to do it by others; these are two different things.

Soon, Wen Cheng'an finished washing the clothes and tidying up the house. His clingy nature returned, and he sat down next to Shi Xia, getting closer and closer until he finally hugged her and rested his chin on her shoulder. The two of them, who were perfectly happy, insisted on reading a book together.

Shi Xia dodged his chin.

"Go get a shave."

"Yes!"

Wen Cheng'an leaned in, his eyes demanding a kiss, and Shi Xia happily obliged, giving him a kiss.

"Go."

"Order!"

Wen Chengan skipped happily to shave.

After shaving, he took a shower and came in, still damp. Shi Xia was drinking water.

He took a few steps over, hugged Shi Xia, placed her on the table, and wrapped his arms around her, face to face.

I'm thirsty too.

"Open your mouth."

Wen Cheng'an obediently opened his mouth, and the two looked at each other, their eyes filled with color, devoid of black and white.

After drinking a glass of water from Shi Xia's hand, Wen Cheng'an leaned in and, with a mixture of coquettishness and restraint, took Shi Xia's earlobe into his mouth.

"I'm still thirsty."

Shi Xia put down her water glass, put one hand around Wen Cheng'an's back, and slid her fingertips down from top to bottom.

"What should we do?"

The intense tug-of-war began, and the two of them found it surprisingly enjoyable.

What follows can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words.

The creaking sonata began again, high and low, rising and falling, as people came and went, their bodies drenched in sweat.

Even in the middle of the night, the sound of dripping water could still be heard in the bathroom.

The next day, Wen Chengan got up early. Shi Xia opened her eyes groggily and said, "No need to make breakfast. I'm going back to Hai San Island today."

"Oh? Honey, what time will you be back?"

"I'll be back this afternoon. I still have dinner tonight."

"Yes, you just need to keep an eye on the time."

After getting dressed, Wen Chengan bent down and gave him a good morning kiss.

He was pushed away by Shi Xia.

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

Wen Cheng'an smiled, took Shi Xia's hand and said, "Is it alright if I do it myself?"

Shi Xia remained silent. This married man seemed to have a skin-quenching disorder.

Wen Chengan went to training. Shi Xia lay down for a while, then got up, changed her clothes, and went out while eating dried squid.

On her way out of her house, several people saw her, greeted her with smiles, and their eyes always held a deeper meaning.

Shi Xia walked out of the family compound. She had her own boat docked there, so she boarded it and set off.

Xia returned around 2 PM, carrying a shoulder pole.

After going home and changing her clothes, Shi Xia prepared to go to Company Commander Sun's house.

At Company Commander Sun's house, several of his wives were already helping out and gossiping.

"They went out early this morning, I don't know what they were doing."

"If they haven't come by now, they definitely don't want to help."

……

"Hey, everyone is here."

Summer has arrived.
