Chapter 216 Comfort

“You’re not a cold-blooded person. A truly cold-blooded person would have wanted to kill Yuna long ago when she provoked him like that.”

Wen Cheng-an: I have indeed thought about it, and I am even preparing to do it.

"Feeling nothing after killing someone doesn't mean you have no emotions. Remember these three things."

"What three things?"

Wen Cheng'an moved closer, wanting to hug Shi Xia, but his arm was injured, so he could only move even closer.

"First, you killed a bad person; second, you saved many good people."

"And the third one?"

"Thirdly, I'm proud of you!"

The words "I am proud of you" made Wen Cheng'an's smile turn into shock, and then he couldn't help but get closer, nose to nose, their breaths mingling.

"Daughter-in-law, thank you."

"You are my greatest pride."

Shi Xia reached out and hugged Wen Cheng'an's waist.

"I know!"

After returning home that day, this guy called out "wife" so many times.

The two kissed naturally, very gently and tenderly.

The next morning, Wen Cheng'an stayed home to rest because he was recovering from his injuries.

Shi Xia got up early, and the two decided to go back to Hai San Island today.

"Won't your aunt worry when she sees you injured?"

"Maybe, but more importantly, I came back alive."

Wen Cheng'an didn't think it would be better to keep it a secret. Besides, he had finally gotten a vacation, so wouldn't it be better to stay home for a couple more days?

After quickly tidying up, the two left the family compound, and Wen Chengan chatted with everyone he met along the way.

"My wife and I went back to her parents' home."

As they walked out, almost everyone in the family compound knew that Wen Chengan and Shi Xia had gone back to her parents' home.

After the two came out, they boarded Shi Xia's boat.

After many days, Shi Xia finally returned to Hai San Island, and she could definitely feel everyone's enthusiasm for her.

"Shixia, you're finally back! I had a jar of salted duck eggs saved for you; they're perfect for eating now, all the yolks are great!"

"I made shrimp paste, take it home and eat it, it's really good."

"I have some dried vegetables."

Shi Xia walked along like a deliveryman, with every household rushing to deliver things to her.

After finally arriving at the Shi family home, Grandpa Shi came out and said with a pout, "You still know how to come back."

"Grandpa, I miss you so much! If Wen Chengan hadn't been injured, I would have come back long ago."

Wen Cheng'an, so innocent and charming, was used as a shield by Shi Xia. He stepped forward with a smile and took the initiative to admit his mistake, saying, "It's all my fault, Grandpa."

Grandpa Shi looked at Wen Chengan's arm, which was in a sling.

"How could you be so careless? You still need to practice your skills."

Grandpa Shi complained, but he was already thinking about killing a chicken.

"Come in, why are you waiting outside? Your aunt and the others have gone to the fields, they'll be back in a bit. We'll eat here tonight, I'll go cook."

Grandpa Shi was decisive and efficient, just like Shi Xia.

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an entered the courtyard and sat under the pavilion. Da Bai strolled over, glanced at Shi Xia, let out a haughty croak, and turned to leave.

"Is it looking down on me?"

"It seems so."

Wen Chengan nodded, squatted down, and waved to Da Bai.

"Brother Bai, come here."

Big White stopped and turned around.

"Gaga gaga ah gaga gaga ah gaga—"

After a bout of loud chatter, it left again.

Wen Cheng'an looked up in bewilderment.

"I feel like Big White has a bit of my mom in him. I didn't understand the words he said just now, but his tone was a bit familiar."

Shi Xia laughed helplessly and said, "Nonsense!"

"Wen Cheng'an, you finally know how to come back! It's one thing for you not to come back, but why isn't Shi Xia back either? You must be up to something." Auntie arrived.

Wen Cheng'an spread his hands and looked at Shi Xia: See? His tone is just like Da Bai's.

Shi Xia was laughing uncontrollably; it really did look like him.

When his aunt came in, she naturally noticed Wen Cheng'an's injured arm. She glanced at it a few more times, asked about the injury, and after learning that it wouldn't affect his life, she started nagging again.

Wen Cheng'an listened patiently, knowing that this was his mother's way of showing concern.

A little while later, Uncle Wen came in, and Auntie stopped nagging and got up to help with the cooking.

Uncle Wen glanced at Wen Cheng'an.

"Still alive?"

"They're doing pretty well."

"Row."

The conversation between the father and son ended, a simple expression of paternal love.

At noon, Grandpa Shi killed a chicken. Wen Cheng'an drank until he was full, after everyone poured him spoonful after spoonful of chicken soup to nourish his body. He looked at Shi Xia for help: "Wife, I really can't drink anymore."

Shi Xia glanced at it and then added another spoonful herself.

"Drink more."

Wen Cheng'an looked at Shi Xia with a wronged expression and said, "Drink!"

After lunch, Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an weren't in a hurry to go to land, so they decided to enjoy the time they could both stay at home.

I managed to take a nap, which was a rare treat.

When I opened my eyes, it was 5 PM!

After sleeping for a while, their heads were still groggy, so the two of them yawned and went to the beach for a stroll.

The beach was cool at night; it was even a bit chilly without a jacket.

Here, two people can hold hands, but it's not allowed inside the military.

The two, holding hands, took off their shoes and walked slowly on the soft sand.

When you get tired, just sit down on the sand, look at the sea, feel the breeze, and pick up any pretty seashells you see.

After strolling around for an hour, the two went home for dinner.

After finishing their meal, the two, who had slept quite a bit, were no longer sleepy, so they went to the village square.

Torches were lit around the square, and Uncle Qu was writing on the blackboard. This was the village's literacy class.

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an sat down next to Uncle Cao, who inquired about Wen Cheng'an's injuries.

"It's okay, it will be fine in a few days."

"must be careful."

On a midsummer night, people gather together to chat, children run around noisily, and every now and then you can hear a mother's roar.

It's a very comfortable and peaceful life.

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an stayed on Hai San Island for five days. Apart from going to the mainland once, they ate and slept at home every day, completely slowing down their pace.

They're moving very slowly here, while Chief Wei is practically scrambling to keep up with the workload.

After Shi Xia reported the two things, the higher-ups took them very seriously.

Professional weapons experts rushed over overnight, and the higher-ups are discussing who to send to the pirate island.

Five days later, the weapons experts and the personnel sent there arrived at Haiming Island, but Shi Xia was not there.

Chief Wei hurriedly went to find Shi Xia again, and only then did Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an end their vacation.

After returning, Shi Xia disappeared again.

She led her men to retrieve the torpedo, and then headed to the pirate island with another person.

After Shi Xia left, Wen Cheng'an did not continue to rest. He attended a training course in the army to improve his cultural knowledge.

He couldn't fall too far behind Shi Xia. It wasn't that he was being a chauvinist, but he simply didn't want Shi Xia to be associated with someone as unpresentable as him.

While Wen Chengan was studying, something happened on Pirate Island.

One-Eyed encountered a life-or-death situation while on a "mission," but was saved by someone.

Unexpectedly, this person was also a fugitive, and was brought back by One-Eyed.

"Brother, if we join forces, we can definitely put up a fight against the boss!"

Newcomer: So naive, let's leave him his underwear from now on.
