Wen Jinian was also very nervous, as this was his first time doing this.

Although he had feelings for He Wenjun before, he had hardly ever had any physical contact with her, let alone anything more intimate.

He Wenjun was the first woman he truly loved. At that time, he was completely clueless about relationships and only felt that if you liked someone, you should respect her.

It is absolutely impossible for two people to do anything intimate before they are married.

He acted impulsively because he was provoked by Tan Lin's words earlier.

At this point, the arrow was already on the bowstring, and there was no way to stop it.

He's a normal man too; after being teased by Tan Lin like that, he couldn't hold back any longer.

That's fine, and to prevent her from overthinking, Wen Jinian had no other choice but to do this.

Tan Lin lay on the bed, her face flushed red.

Although she appeared calm, she was so nervous that she didn't even know what to do with her hands.

She never expected Wen Jinian to directly ask her to do this kind of thing. Thinking about the parts her hands had just touched, she covered her face with both hands, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

"Wen Jinian, please be gentle for a while. I've never been in a relationship before, and I've never..." Tan Lin said with some concern.

"I...I will try my best." Wen Jinian's face was now also tinged with desire.

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.

Tan Lin originally thought that Wen Jinian at least had experience, so his first experience wouldn't be too bad.

But she didn't expect that Wen Jinian was even more nervous than she was, and that she had to endure the pain to comfort him halfway through.

When it finally ended, the two of them lay on the bed, covered in sweat.

Tan Lin turned to the man beside her and asked, "Wen Jinian, is this your first time too?"

She knew that Wen Jinian had dated before, so he must have experience in this area.

Unexpectedly, he was even more of a novice than she was.

"Mm." Wen Jinian nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

Tan Lin looked at him in shock after hearing this, and then he explained, "I hadn't done this before you."

"and you……"

Just as Tan Lin was about to ask Wen Jinian about his past with He Wenjun, she heard him continue, "There was basically no physical contact between us, let alone something like this."

Tan Lin was taken aback when she heard this, but then felt a surge of joy.

So, Wen Jinian's first time was also hers.

Originally, she really didn't care about Wen Jinian's past, but if that was the case, she would certainly be happy.

Wen Jinian knew that Tan Lin asked this because she cared about him. He reached out and pulled Tan Lin into his arms, letting her lie on his chest.

"I'm sorry, Linlin, I couldn't help myself just now. After we go back and meet my family, we'll get our marriage certificate."

Wen Jinian didn't want Tan Lin to suffer with him. He had already planned to marry her, so this was just as well, and Tan Lin wouldn't think too much about it anymore.

"Mm." Tan Lin nodded with a smile. Of course she trusted Wen Jinian's character; otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen for this man at first sight.

"I'll go boil some water for you to take a bath." Seeing that Tan Lin was covered in sweat, Wen Jinian got out of bed and went to the kitchen.

Tan Lin lay on the bed, too tired to move a single finger. Looking at Wen Jinian's back, she felt very happy at this moment.

While taking a shower, Tan Lin couldn't resist hugging and kissing Wen Jinian again. Although it still hurt, she still wanted to.

Wen Jinian quickly reached out and grabbed her arm. "It's too late, Linlin, stop fooling around."

His tone was filled with doting affection and helplessness as he gently coaxed her.

"I know, I'm just worried you'll be leaving soon, aren't I?" Tan Lin reached out and hugged Wen Jinian's neck, her words carrying a hint of coquetry.

Wen Jinian knew that Tan Lin wanted him to stay, so he could only reply, "Alright, I won't leave. I'll stay and keep you company tonight."

"You said it yourself, you can't go back on your word. If I wake up tomorrow and don't see you, I'll never forgive you." Tan Lin pointed at him, her tone carrying a hint of warning.

"Okay." Wen Jinian smiled as he finished washing himself, then carried her to bed.

Taking a shower in the dead of winter can easily lead to a cold, and Tan Lin couldn't help but sneeze as soon as she lay down in bed.

Wen Jinian was afraid she would catch a cold, so he reached out and hugged her tightly, using his own body to warm her.

Lying in his arms, smelling his familiar scent, Tan Lin fell asleep in no time.

The next morning, Tan Lin woke up and didn't see Wen Jinian. Just as she was about to go out to check, she heard a noise at the door.

Wen Jinian made breakfast early in the morning, and when he saw that Tan Lin had woken up, he served her the food.

Seeing the pancakes with vegetables and millet porridge that she liked on the table, Tan Lin was already starving.

"Did you make this especially for me?" she asked as she walked over.

Wen Jinian nodded, rolled up a pancake for her and handed it to her, "Are you starving? Eat up."

Tan Lin didn't stand on ceremony anymore, reached out and took the pancake, then took a bite.

Wen Jinian is a very good cook; all his dishes are delicious.

She had initially thought he had already left, but it turned out he had gone to cook for her.

Wen Jinian left after the meal.

When the neighbors saw Wen Jinian leave her house, they all speculated about the relationship between the two.

Of course, some people say that Tan Lin doesn't respect herself.

The two of them were living together before they were even married.

After all, in this day and age, a woman's reputation is of utmost importance.

In other people's eyes, a woman living together before marriage is considered immoral.

Tan Lin didn't care what they said at all; she only cared about Wen Jinian's opinion of her.

She saw Wen Jinian off, glanced at the gossiping people at the door, smiled, and turned to go inside.

Wen Jinian needed to pack his things; there was still some finishing work to be done with the transport team. Once he finished his work, he could take Tan Lin home.

In the afternoon, Tan Lin went to the department store.

After all, this was her first formal visit to Wen Jinian's parents, so she definitely wanted to bring some things with her.

Since it was inconvenient for Wenrou to go back to see her parents with the children, she bought some things and asked Wen Jinian and Tan Lin to take them back for her.

Before she knew it, this was already her second Chinese New Year in Beijing.

After the New Year, Yun Shu and Yun Yao will be old enough to go to kindergarten.

There is a kindergarten in the military compound, which is perfect for the two of them.

Wenrou had just returned from playing outside with her two children when she ran into Fang Ting and Fang Xinyou walking towards her.

She was also taken aback when she saw Fang Xinyou appear here.

Why is Fang Xinyou here now, after she went to the Gobi Desert with Fang Yuru?

However, she wasn't actually surprised, as Fang Yuru and her daughter weren't the type to endure hardship.

Once they get there, they will definitely try their best to come back.

Fang Xinyou is already here, and Wenrou guesses that Fang Yuru must have returned as well.

However, why Fang Ting was allowed to adopt his daughter remains unknown.

Fang Xinyou also saw Wenrou and the others at this moment, and her expression changed immediately when she saw the clothes on Yun Shu and Yun Yao.

She used to have many new clothes, and she would change one almost every day.

Now, looking down at her faded old clothes, she couldn't help but feel jealous of them.

She looked up at Fang Ting and asked softly, "Auntie, can I buy new clothes?"

"We don't have money to buy you new clothes, and your mom didn't give me any either. The clothes you're wearing now are already very good. Why would you want new clothes?"

Fang Ting glanced at Fang Xinyou. Over the years, she had spent a lot of money on medical treatment, and the family didn't have much money left. Where would they get the money to buy her new clothes?

Besides, even if he had money, he wouldn't spend it on her.

Her mother didn't say anything and just left her with her.

All she can do now is keep her from going hungry and ensure she has access to education; nothing else can be guaranteed.

"Alright, stop looking. You won't have any new clothes to wear anyway." Fang Ting said coldly, pulling Fang Xinyou away.

Fang Xinyou felt really wronged, but she had no choice but to silently follow Fang Ting.

It's because she doesn't have parents now and can only live with her aunt and uncle.

Fang Xinyou truly experienced the feeling of being ostracized when she returned to school today. Her former classmates, who used to be close to her, are now avoiding her.

Those people were saying behind her back that she had no parents and no one wanted to play with her.

This made Fang Xinyou feel a huge sense of loss; even those who used to fawn over her no longer spoke to her.

She had just reached the door when she saw Jiang Yan walking towards her.

Upon seeing him, Fang Xinyou shouted loudly, "Jiang Yan!"

She had always wanted to be friends with Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan was always indifferent to her.

She felt very resentful and secretly vowed that she would make Jiang Yan treat her well in the future.

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Yan glanced at her coldly, then looked away and walked inside.

Fang Xinyou had already gotten used to Jiang Yan's attitude. However, now that she had returned to the military compound, she would be able to see Jiang Yan more often in the future.

She knew that Jiang Yan was different from others and wouldn't look down on her.

He was indifferent to everyone, not just her, which put her at ease.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, the compound is now filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

After a busy year, everyone can finally take a good rest during the Lunar New Year and improve their meals.

Early in the morning, a long queue had already formed outside the military compound service center, all people coming to buy meat.

Although the pork supply is a bit tight right now, it's still much better than outside.

People are lining up at the fresh meat counter in the state-run vegetable market as early as midnight, and there's a daily limit on the amount of meat; if you go late, there aren't even any bones left.

However, there's no need to worry about Wenrou. Huo Yanchuan somehow knows the person in charge of the state-owned meat processing plant and had reserved meat for them early on.

The pig's head, ribs, trotters, and foreleg meat weigh a full ten pounds.

Even so, Wenrou was still worried that there wouldn't be enough to eat, so she went and bought some chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

After returning home, she started kneading dough and chopping filling, preparing to make meat buns.

Jiang Yan is now on vacation. Since Xiao Xun's father passed away, Jiang Yan has been living at home.

Seeing that Jiang Yan hadn't been in a good mood lately, Wenrou thought she should improve his meals.

There are also sweet and sour pork ribs, which children love, and minced meat noodles.

Soon, the aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen.

As soon as the meat buns were cooked and Wenrou put them on the table, Yunshu and Yunyao couldn't wait and each grabbed one.

Seeing this, Wenrou said to them, "Go and call Brother Jiang Yan for dinner."

Jiang Yan was still studying in his room at this time. Wenrou was worried that he was starving, so she asked her two younger sisters to go and wake him up.

When Yun Shu arrived at Jiang Yan's room, she politely knocked on the door and said, "Brother Jiang Yan, Mom is calling you for dinner."

Jiang Yan was working on a math problem for older students, so he didn't look up and casually replied, "Okay, I'll be there in a bit."

Yun Yao waited outside for a while, but Jiang Yan still didn't come out.

So she walked over to the table, reached out and got him a meat bun, and without caring what he was doing, she went straight in and stuffed the meat bun into his mouth.

"Brother Jiang Yan, it's time to eat. If you don't eat now, you won't eat at all, or you'll starve to death tonight."

Yun Yao also has a temper. Her mother had been busy in the kitchen for so long and finally managed to cook a meal, which was specially prepared to improve Jiang Yan's diet.

He's staying in his room and refusing to go out to eat. Although she doesn't know what he's doing, if the meat buns get cold, his mother will have to find a way to reheat them for him.

Jiang Yan had a meat bun stuffed into his mouth. He took a bite, and the savory flavor filled his mouth. It was delicious and tasty.

Seeing that Yun Yao was angry, he helplessly reached out and picked her up.

"Okay, I'll go out to eat now."

He realized that the one with the worst temper was the youngest in the family.

Although Yun Yao's appearance is like that of a gentle person, her temperament is exactly like that of Huo Yanchuan.

Moreover, she, a girl, didn't really like little girls' things, but instead spent all her time running to the playground to watch those people practice exercises.

Yun Yao's expression softened somewhat when she saw Jiang Yan come out.

"Xiao Yao, don't bully your brother Jiang Yan." Wenrou couldn't help but say.

She wasn't worried that Yun Yao was being unreasonable; it's just that she was the youngest in the family, and everyone usually spoiled her, especially Jiang Yan, who doted on her the most.

Wenrou was worried that she would act recklessly because of the love and pampering of so many people, and she didn't want her to be spoiled.

"I didn't bully him," Yun Yao said.

Jiang Yan, who was standing to the side, affectionately reached out and ruffled her hair, nodding and saying, "She didn't bully me."

While the children were eating meat buns, the gentle braised noodles were also ready, and a bowl was served to each of them.

There were also big bones in the pot, so we scooped one out for each of them to gnaw on.

Wenrou's family prepared a very lavish meal today; the aroma of meat had already filled the hallway, making passersby drool.

Fang Ting couldn't buy any meat today, and as soon as she brought Fang Xinyou home, she smelled the aroma of meat wafting from Wenrou's house.

Both of their expressions changed. Fang Xinyou couldn't help but swallow hard, looking longingly towards Wenrou's house, where she saw Jiang Yan and his two younger sisters gnawing on a big bone.
