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

Chapter 9 Sweet Dates

When Shi Xia said that someone was there, Wen Cheng'an stopped struggling, but he pulled Shi Xia's hand down and made two "Pooh" sounds of disgust.

Wen Chengan: “.”

Soon, the sound of messy footsteps mixed with the voices of a man and a woman were heard, and the two quickly fell silent.

"Brother Chen San——"

"Sister Yingzi."

The female voice was flirtatious and the male voice seemed a little impatient.

What followed was the sound of rapid breathing and chewing.

Shi Xia curled her lips, thinking that she had encountered a wild mandarin duck.

She glanced at Wen Cheng'an from the side and saw that his face was slightly red.

Shi Xia thought, quite naive.

Wen Cheng'an felt Shi Xia was looking at him, and he glanced at Shi Xia.

In the blur, I saw Shi Xia leaning forward and listening with his ear tilted, as if he was not close enough.

The damn competitive spirit made Wen Cheng'an stop blushing instantly. How could a grown man like him be better than a little girl?

The two of them squatted quietly, and the wild mandarin ducks outside did not develop any further except for gnawing at them.

"Sister Yingzi—just give it to me."

"Isn't this just a matter of time? But when are you going to tell your family that you're going to marry me?"

Yingzi's words stopped the rustling sound of clothes.

"Sister Yingzi, I will definitely marry you. I really like you!"

The man called Brother Chen San coaxed her, but the woman called Sister Yingzi refused to agree.

Brother Chen San was a little anxious and asked Yingzi if she didn't like him. Yingzi, who was obviously more experienced, started to coax her.

"I'm a widow, and I'm out with you in the middle of the night. Don't I like you enough?"

"I just want to marry you legitimately, how can you look at me like this!"

After saying this, Sister Yingzi started to cry, and Brother Chen San on the opposite side started to coax her again.

After the two of them haggled for a long time, Brother Chen San finally coaxed Sister Yingzi into giving her another round of chewing. Then the two of them left.

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an also came out from behind the reef.

"Come out late at night and don't do anything practical. What a waste of emotion."

Shi Xia's tone was regretful, and Wen Cheng'an said speechlessly: "One doesn't want to get married, and the other wants to find a man to support him. They lied to each other, and they are quite a match."

Shi Xia looked at Wen Chengan with some surprise.

"Oh... Master Wen looks very carefully."

Wen Cheng'an tilted his head back and tried to put his hands in his pockets, but his pants were a little wet, so he couldn't get them in. He could only pretend nothing was wrong and put his hands next to his pants.

"Who am I to understand this little trick?"

Wen Cheng'an turned around after he finished speaking, his eyes instantly turning cold.

The stepmother of the Chen family is the best at acting.

Shi Xia glanced at Wen Chengan's stubborn "hands", a smile flashed across his face, and he decided to give him a sweet treat.

"Master Wen is so awesome!"

The corners of Wen Chengan's mouth lifted involuntarily, but he insisted, "That's it."

Shi Xia didn't expose Wen Cheng'an's secret joy, and praised him again, "Such an amazing young man, you must be a great swimmer too, right?"

"Of course."

Wen Chengan had just finished speaking when he suddenly turned around alertly, stared at Shi Xia and asked:
"You don't want me to go swimming in the sea, do you? I beg you to be a human being!"

He really couldn't swim anymore.

"How could I be so cruel..."

Shi Xia disagreed and pointed in a direction in the dark, saying, "I want you to swim tomorrow. There's a small island over there. We'll change the training location there."

Wen Chengan's breath was stuck in his chest: There is no such thing as a free "sweet date" in this world!
It turned out to be waiting for him here!

His rebellious nature broke out again.

"Who am I? This distance won't be a problem for me. You should worry about yourself."

Shi Xia didn't care about Wen Cheng'an's stubbornness.

"Okay, let's stop here for today and go to work at dawn."

Wen Chengan was happy for a moment when he heard that he had to come here first today, but the next second he said reluctantly: "Go to work? What work?"

Shi Xia took a step forward. The pale moonlight and wet hair made him look like the water ghost in the story.

Wen Cheng'an was startled and just gritted his teeth and didn't move.

"Master Wen lost the bet, and he must accept the loss."

"Also, as long as you don't eat a single grain of food from the Wen family, and two old people don't need to support a grown man like you, it's up to you whether to go to work or not." Every word Shi Xia said blocked Wen Cheng'an's way out of his desire to save face.

"I'm not one to eat and drink for free, I'll go to work if I have to!"

Wen Cheng'an walked away with his arms swung, looking like a righteous man.

Shi Xia raised her lips and smiled, humming a little tune, picked up the bucket and net on the ground, and went home.

When the sky was just getting light, Wen Cheng'an got up with sore body.

As soon as I got up, I smelled an enticing aroma. Without asking or looking, I knew that Shi Xia from next door was making something delicious again.

He finally discovered that Shi Xia had a deep love for eating.

Wen Cheng'an got up early and came out, which surprised Zhang Guihua who was cooking.

"So early? Woke up because you had to pee?"

These two sentences made Wen Cheng'an not know how to respond.

Could it be that he got up early to go to work today?
He couldn't tell.

Wen Cheng'an hummed randomly, walked out the door and went to the bathroom.

Aunt Zhang nodded and said so.

After a while, Wen Cheng'an came back and sat down on the kitchen bench instead of going back to sleep.

Aunt Zhang and Wen Laoshi looked at each other for several times: They must be hungry.

Wen Chengan felt uncomfortable being stared at by the two men, and said stubbornly:

"I'm going out for a walk today."

"Oh - take a walk, take a walk, mom will find you a small shovel later, you can go to the beach to dig sand."

Wen Cheng'an looked up helplessly.

Is he a baby? He's digging in the sand.

"Why dig sand? He's already that old."

Wen Laoshi pulled Aunt Zhang, and Wen Chengan thought that there was finally someone who understood the family.

"If you want to play, play in the water."

Wen Cheng'an was stunned: Otherwise, how can you two be called a couple?
Aunt Zhang nodded, her husband was right.

Aunt Zhang quickly brought the food over: sweet potato and multi-grain rice with cold kelp shreds.

Wen Cheng'an said nothing and lowered his head to eat.

After the family of three finished their meal in silence, Wen Cheng'an followed Wen Laoshi and Aunt Zhang out of the house, and they walked until they arrived at their workplace.

Aunt Zhang suddenly turned around.

"Cheng'an, this is where the work is, you've gone the wrong way."

Wen Chengan's neck stiffened.

"I just want to come here, isn't that okay?"

“Okay, okay, okay!”

How could Aunt Zhang dare to say no? She felt full of guilt towards Wen Cheng'an and had already made plans to support him for the rest of his life.

Aunt Zhang and Wen Laoshi went to get the tools. When they were distributing the tools, Shi Xia looked at Wen Chengan.

"Master Wen is here. How about giving you a pickaxe? This will save effort. After all, you look...tsk tsk tsk."

Wen Cheng'an was already feeling uncomfortable, and was further provoked by Shi Xia.

Wen Cheng'an grabbed the pickaxe with a look of pride in his eyes.

Only a fool wouldn't use tools!

He is not stupid.

Shi Xia's eyes flashed with a smile, and he pointed to the ditch in the north: "Those who use pickaxes need to dig the ditch. Twelve work points a day."

Twelve centimeters means this job is the most tiring.

Wen Cheng'an was tricked by Shi Xia again, and his rebellious nature turned into a few words that squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Love as many as you want!"

Wen Cheng'an left with the pickaxe in his arms.

Wen Laoshi stared at it again and again and said, "So you want to play with the soil."

Wen Cheng'an in front of him stumbled, his eyes wandering around, and he calmly raised the pickaxe on his shoulder.

As soon as he carried it up, he felt pain in his shoulder, but he endured it and walked away pretending to be calm.

Wen Cheng'an's coming to work attracted a lot of people's attention, but everyone just chatted a few words while working, and then it passed.

An hour later, Shi Xia was called by an aunt from the village under the shade of a tree.

"Shi Xia, how about I introduce you to a marriage partner?"
