A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

A dozen miles away at Eagle Beak Mountain, the special forces team had just finished a round of wilderness survival training and were marching in formation toward the military region.

"Ugh—" Lu Xiaojun suddenly gagged as he walked.

Su Feng couldn't help but laugh from the side: "Disgusting? We've been eating for quite a while now, it's almost all digested."

Lu Xiaojun waved his hand: "Instructor Su, I feel like there's a leg stuck in my throat."

"Hmm, the one you ate might be one. Grasshoppers are easy to catch, high in protein and calories, but the taste isn't great." Su Feng patted him on the back. "You're more experienced now? When is the best time to eat grasshoppers?"

Lu Xiaojun looked serious, thought for a moment, and said, "It's suitable for quickly replenishing protein when there are no other food sources. But you need to be careful to remove the wings, legs, and internal organs. Don't eat it raw; it's best to roast or boil it."

"Yes, that's right. What if we can't find grasshoppers?" Su Feng continued to test him.

"If you want to supplement your protein intake, you can catch frogs or small fish, but those are hard to find. The best option is to find bee pupae, and if all else fails, you'll have to roast mice."

"Instructor Su," Lu Xiaojun hesitated for a moment, "I have a question. What if these things make people sick? Wouldn't that further affect our combat effectiveness?"

"Starving to death or having diarrhea," Su Feng said calmly, withdrawing his gaze. "Which would you choose?"

Lu Xiaojun nodded: "I understand."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Fang Ruijun next to him, a little worried about his stomach.

This team leader is almost the toughest member of the special forces team. Although he is the team leader, he personally participates in almost every training exercise with his team members.

Fang Ruijun's ferocity is not only reflected in his professional skills such as combat and shooting, but more so in his physical and mental qualities.

Lu Xiaojun had already witnessed the TNT explosives used to test his courage.

Today's wilderness survival lesson involved eating insects and frogs, and Fang Ruijun accepted them all without batting an eye.

Lu Xiaojun swallowed hard, deciding to swallow the grasshopper leg stuck in his throat first.

The main force walked for more than an hour and returned to the military region. They disbanded at the training ground and went back to their respective posts.

"Instructor Su, I'm going home." Lu Xiaojun greeted Su Feng and then ran home.

Su Feng watched his retreating figure: "Aren't you going to take a shower before going home?"

"I ate dinner when I got home before taking a shower; I was too hungry."

Fang Ruijun watched Lu Xiaojun's retreating figure and shook his head: "That kid is good in every way, perfect for being a special forces soldier. But why does he have such a big appetite? How many compressed biscuits will he be carrying on missions?"

"He's still growing, so he still needs to eat," Su Feng said.

The two walked together toward the military district's public bathhouse.

Fang Ruijun glanced at Su Feng and greeted him with a smile, "Section Chief."

Su Feng turned his head and saw Fang Ruijun grinning at him, revealing a set of big white teeth. He shuddered and said, "What are you doing? You're making me cringe with your smile."

"Um... can I go to the shooting range a little later tonight for training?"

Su Feng put his hands on his hips, intending to scold Fang Ruijun, but then noticed that Fang Ruijun's ears were a little red and he was smiling shyly.

Su Feng's expression changed from one of disgust to one of mischievous grin.

Su Feng looked at the burly man in front of him, who was smiling shyly, and felt uncomfortable all over: "Is it really necessary? Why are you so happy?"

"She said she'd treat me to roast chicken today," Fang Ruijun said, rubbing his nose and looking down.

Su Feng sneered, "Roasted chicken... Hmph, fine, go ahead. Let me tell you, you can't just take this leave for nothing. Our team's bachelor rate is counting on you to lower it."

"I'll try," Fang Ruijun said shyly.

After taking a shower, Fang Ruijun quickly changed into clean clothes. He glanced at the time; it was almost seven o'clock, a bit late.

He started running and hurried towards Wang Yingxue's house.

At Wang Yingxue's home, she was cooking the last dish in the kitchen.

In addition to the main dish of roast chicken, she also made braised pork belly with green beans, scrambled eggs, a plate of home-style cold dishes, and fermented bean curd.

As Wang Yingxue was stir-frying, Han Yulan shouted from inside, "Xiaoxue, don't add any more salt to the fermented bean curd!"

Wang Yingxue paused with her spatula: "........."

It's too late, they've already been released.

She casually sprinkled some chopped green onions on the plate of fermented bean curd, served it on the table, and then went back to the kitchen to wash the pot.

Han Yulan complained to Zhao Chunfang, "You don't know, this child's cooking is always so salty. The fermented bean curd already has soybean paste in it, but she always adds an extra spoonful of salt."

Zhao Chunfang laughed and replied, "I know, the fermented bean curd Xiaoxue made last time was so salty that I drank several jugs of water after eating it."

Zhao Chunfang glanced at her watch; it was almost seven o'clock. "Oh dear, is something keeping you from training? They're never on time. Why don't we eat first and heat it up for him when he gets here?"

Han Yulan waved her hand: "No, no, no, we're not hungry either. We're just waiting for Xiao Fang. We'll eat whenever he comes."

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.

"Coming, coming!" Zhao Chunfang quickly got up to open the door.

Wang Yingxue was setting the table when she heard a knock on the door, so she turned around and went into the kitchen.

After frantically pacing around, unsure of what to take, she finally emerged carrying an empty bowl.

"Comrade Fang, you've arrived." Wang Yingxue greeted him with a smile, "Please have a seat."

Fang Ruijun looked at the table full of dishes and smiled, "Hey."

Fang Ruijun didn't sit down, but turned around and brought out a chair from Han Yulan's room.

This chair was added by Wang Yingxue after she returned this time, specifically for Han Yulan's use.

"Hmm? We have enough chairs, no need to bring any more," Wang Yingxue said to Fang Ruijun.

"I'll go carry Aunt Han out," Fang Ruijun said, turning and entering the room.

"Huh?" Wang Yingxue was taken aback.

"These past few days, Ruijun has been carrying your mother outside to eat at the table. Now, she has enough strength in her upper limbs and waist to sit and eat," Han Yulan said with a smile.

Fang Ruijun walked to the bedside, used his arms to lift Han Yulan off the bed, and carried her steadily to the chair next to it, then moved the chair forward a little.

Looking at it this way, Han Yulan seemed completely unaffected, sitting there properly and eating with everyone.

Seeing this, Wang Yingxue's eyes reddened slightly, her lips moved, and it took her a while to finally speak: "Comrade Fang, thank you."

"No need to thank me. Didn't I say I would take care of you?" Fang Ruijun said calmly, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact.

Wang Yingxue's heart trembled again at these calm words.

"It's nothing," Zhao Chunfang tugged at Wang Yingxue. "Sit down, sit down, let's eat."

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Zhao Chunfang said, "Xiaoxue, since you've already recognized Xiaofang as your brother, let's not stand on ceremony."

Wang Yingxue lowered her head and smiled shyly, "Okay, I understand."

Han Yulan reached out and tasted the fermented bean curd. "Oh my god, Xiaoxue, did you add salt again?"

Wang Yingxue turned her head away, saying, "Sorry... my cooking was a little salty."

"Xiao Fang, this dish is too salty. You should eat some other dishes," Han Yulan said to Fang Ruijun, feeling embarrassed.

Fang Ruijun picked up a piece of fermented bean curd and stuffed it into his mouth: "Fermented bean curd tastes better when it's salty. I like salty food."

Upon hearing this, both mothers at the table smiled.

"Come often if you want to eat. Your mom's here, you can come and visit her anytime."

"My sister and I are like family now. You and Xiaoxue have even become sworn brothers. We'll see each other often from now on."

Fang Ruijun turned his head and looked at Wang Yingxue.

Wang Yingxue pointed to the plate of roast chicken: "Eat more roast chicken. Next time... I'll put less salt in."

Fang Ruijun picked up a piece of chicken: "Okay."
