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

Chapter 282 A two-pronged approach
Although Shi Xia was asleep, she could still sense Wen Cheng'an's approach.

The familiar feeling made her fall asleep again, even more soundly than before.

Wen Cheng'an gently wiped Shi Xia's hair, his mind filled with imagining how Shi Xia had been injured, each imagining making him tremble.

Fu Xue had prepared the meal next door and brought it over. She saw Wen Cheng'an squatting on the ground, gently wiping Shi Xia's hair.

Shi Xia seemed to be sleeping soundly.

She quietly came in, placed a pot of porridge on the table, along with some steamed buns, and pointed at them with her finger.

Wen Cheng'an nodded, remaining silent in tacit agreement. Fu Xue also nodded and returned to the next room.

That evening, Xue Gang returned home and loudly called out to Fu Xue.

"daughter in law---"

"Shh!"

Fu Xue appeared just in time, made a quiet gesture, and pointed to the next room, saying, "Shi Xia is back, keep your voice down."

Xue Gang didn't understand why he had to speak softly when Shi Xia came back, but he obeyed.

"what happened?"

Xue Gang leaned closer and asked, and Fu Xue said with heartache, "Shi Xia has lost weight, at least twenty or thirty pounds. She wasn't very fat to begin with, but now you can see her bones."

Upon hearing this, Xue Gang immediately understood why Wen Chengan had returned early.

He roughly knew what mission Shi Xia had gone out on. Missions that required Shi Xia to be deployed were beyond their knowledge and beyond their capabilities.

"We still have some meat at home, right? Let's make something for you and take it over."

"You don't need to tell me, I made chicken porridge with chicken broth, but it looks like he won't wake up today."

Xue Gang nodded, indicating that he understood.

After that, the couple became unusually quiet, just so as not to disturb Shi Xia.

Shi Xia didn't know how long she had slept; she only knew that when she opened her eyes again, it was getting dark.

"woke up."

Wen Cheng'an had already grown stubble. He noticed that Shi Xia had woken up immediately and rushed to help her up.

Shi Xia felt sore all over, as if her body had fallen apart. She leaned against the pillow, feeling drowsy.

"How long did I sleep?"

"From last night to tonight, it's a little past six now."

After settling Shi Xia in, Wen Cheng'an stood up and said, "There's some porridge warming up on the pot, let's eat some first."

"Ugh, I'm so hungry!"

Wen Cheng'an brought over the porridge, which Shi Xia wolfed down. Fortunately, the porridge wasn't too hot, so it was just warm enough to drink.

"Slow down, no rush, there's more."

Shi Xia didn't have a chance to speak; she was too hungry.

She finished the entire pot of porridge, but still felt like she hadn't had enough.

"I still want it."

"Okay, I'll get it."

After finishing two pots of porridge, Shi Xia finally regained some strength.

Take a break, we'll eat later.

Shi Xia finally had time to see Wen Cheng'an.

"Are you worried?"

"Yeah, I'm really worried about you. I'm worried and heartbroken. Honey, how about we both quit and find a place to retire?"

Shi Xia was amused by Wen Cheng'an's sudden idea.

"We're so young, why are we already thinking about retirement?"

"As long as you have the right mindset, age doesn't matter."

Shi Xia pulled Wen Cheng'an's hand over, tracing the outline of his palm with her fingers.

"I quite enjoy adventure, but of course it's not always like this. I play for a while and then take a break. I play when I want to play and rest when I want to rest. Don't worry, I won't let myself get into any trouble."

"Don't let my current thinness fool you, I'll regain it after a period of recuperation."

Wen Cheng'an acted on impulse, flipping his hand over and grabbing Shi Xia's fingers.

"Then I'll focus on making you delicious food and fattening you up."

"Great! I have so many things I want to eat."

The two stopped talking about that topic.

They are people with a sense of responsibility, so how could they possibly give up everything? When you witness so many people striving for the rise of their motherland, it's hard not to follow in their footsteps when you're in that environment.

"Is your leg fully healed, ready for training?"

"I'm undergoing light training and recovering little by little, but I've already returned to work. I asked for leave today, and Chief Wei approved it."

"By the way, I've been promoted to regimental commander."

Shi Xia looked up in surprise, happy for Wen Cheng'an.

"congratulations."

"Joy and rejoice together!"

The two chuckled, and Wen Cheng'an sat down, holding Shi Xia in his arms. The two spoke quietly.

Inside the room, only the voices of two people could be heard.

An hour later, Wen Chengan went to cook.

Shi Xia said she didn't need to follow the slow recuperation method, she could just go straight for the big move, she was so hungry she could eat a whole cow.

Since she said so, Wen Cheng'an had no more reservations and started cooking!

Braised pork ribs, stewed lamb leg with radish, beef with potatoes, and dry pot chicken.

It's all meat, so it's very nourishing.

Shi Xia ate three bowls of rice in one go, and most of the dishes were also eaten. She finally ended the meal with a burp.

After finishing her meal, she didn't go out, not wanting to run into anyone, as everyone would come up to her and ask why she had become so thin.

I might as well take a stroll in the yard and digest a bit.

Fu Xue and Lin Sisi came over after hearing the commotion in the courtyard.

Lin Sisi, who is easily moved to tears, held Shi Xia's hand and said, "I'll make you something delicious."

"No need, Wen Chengan has already done it."

Lin Sisi wiped away her tears and said defiantly, "I'll call my mom in a bit and ask her to come over and cook for you."

Shi Xia blinked, intending to refuse.

"Isn't this bad?"

“My mom is willing to come.”

"OK then."

Shi Xia accepted it; she liked Aunt Lin's cooking.

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

The three chatted in the yard. Before long, Lin Sisi had to go back home; she had two little children to care for.

After watching Lin Sisi leave, Shi Xia remembered to ask, "With Aunt Lin not here, who will help Sisi take care of the child?"

Fu Xue said while eating an apple, "Zhou Yusheng's family has come to help take care of the children. Aunt Lin will go back and rest for a while and come back after the New Year."

"Your maternal home? Didn't Zhou Yusheng's parents pass away?"

Fu Xue nodded.

"They're definitely gone. The person who came was Zhou Yusheng's brother's daughter. This girl is quite pitiful. Her house caught fire, and she was all alone. However, she was burned on her face, and no one in the village would take her in, so they called Zhou Yusheng. After all, he's the girl's uncle."

Shi Xia responded with an "oh," her expression quite complicated.

"I've met the girl, and she's quite nice. She's very capable, but she's not very talkative. However, she's a sensible person, and Sisi is quite satisfied with her."

Shi Xia simply said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

Fu Xue finished eating an apple, and Xue Gang came over and helped her back home.

Fu Xue is over seven months pregnant, her belly is very round, so she has to be careful when going in and out.

Shi Xia had almost finished digesting and returned to the room, where Wen Cheng'an had already prepared the bathwater.

"My Wen is so wonderful, no one is as good as you."

"of course!"

He was determined to be the best person for Shi Xia.

After giving her a sweet kiss, Shi Xia turned around and went to take a shower.

The next day, Aunt Lin really came.

Not only Aunt Lin came, but Grandpa Xu came too.

One approach is dietary supplementation, and the other is medical supplementation; a two-pronged approach is used.
