Chapter 16: Broad shoulders and narrow waist, showing flesh when undressing

Under the dim light, Shen Sisi is close at hand.

A strand of loose hair fell from her forehead, brushing across her fair and delicate face. Her pair of curved willow-leaf eyebrows and clear almond-shaped eyes were extremely moving.

Gu Chengfeng lowered his eyes, swept across her eyebrows, and paused when his gaze passed over her rosy lips.

Then, a blush appeared on his ears.

"Are you okay?" Shen Sisi saw that he looked very hot, and his wheat-colored skin was red.

"Nothing, I'll go boil some water." Gu Chengfeng turned around in a hurry and ran straight to the yard to chop firewood.

Looking at the fleeing figure, Shen Sisi suddenly realized.

He won't be shy anymore!

She quickly shook her head to get rid of all these messy thoughts.

Under the moonlight, Gu Chengfeng took off his coat, put on a tight black sweater, and swung the axe with all his might.

As soon as he exerted force, the muscle lines wrapped in the sweater bulged instantly.

He has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and is muscular even when undressed. His well-proportioned muscles are not exaggerated, but very masculine.

In a short while, the stove was heated and the water in the pot began to boil.

Shen Sisi took off her coat, picked up a bucket and went to give Niu Niu a hot bath.

Niu Niu was so happy today that she was not well behaved during the bath and splashed water all over her with her little hands.

As soon as she ran out holding the wet little one, she bumped into Gu Chengfeng and was caught off guard and pressed against his hard chest.

Gu Chengfeng quickly calmed the man down and asked, "Are you okay?"

Just as he finished speaking, his eyes moved downwards and inadvertently glanced at her squeezed chest, and his eyes widened instantly.

Shen Sisi's clothes...

Just one glance at the overly white scene made his whole body hot and his blood rush.

He quickly looked away.

Shen Sisi saw that he was feeling uncomfortable all over, so she looked down along the line of sight and was about to explode!!!

Her white shirt was soaked and transparent like paper.

So, he saw it all...

Shen Sisi suddenly felt dizzy and ran away in a panic with Niuniu in her arms.

Only after coaxing Niu Niu to sleep did she change her clothes and come out like a thief.

Gu Chengfeng felt hot all over and took a cold shower.

The tap water, which had dropped to freezing point, became warm when it touched his scalding skin, turning into bursts of steam.

Unable to stay at home any longer, Gu Chengfeng simply went out for a walk and came back only after the heat had dissipated.

When they saw each other, they tacitly did not mention what had just happened and tried hard to resolve the awkwardness.

"I'm done. I've boiled a pot of hot water for you on the stove. Go wash up!"

"By the way, take this."

Gu Chengfeng took out a piece of soap wrapped in oil paper from his pocket.

"Okay." Shen Sisi lowered her head and took it carefully.

I didn't expect that he even bought her some soap...

Shen Sisi held the soap close to her nose and smelled it. It was her favorite magnolia scent, very refreshing.

"Thank you, Gu Chengfeng."

She ran away, and suddenly a mutter came from behind her: "Well, I really didn't see anything."

Shen Sisi's whole body tensed up, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Well, just pretend he didn't see it...

Shen Sisi soaked in the hot water, washing away the smell of stinky feet on the train and all the fatigue.

Accompanied by the faint fragrance of magnolia, she couldn't believe that she was still in Lin County this morning and now she was in Jiangcheng.

That night, she slept soundly...

The next day, before dawn, she heard the wake-up call coming from afar.

There was a faint rustling outside the door, and the door opened and closed.

She yawned, stood up, put on her clothes and went out.

The door of Gu Chengfeng's room was open, and there were square blocks of tofu piled on the bed, but he was gone.

Shen Sisi felt a little annoyed. If she had known earlier, she would have gotten up earlier to make breakfast.

He wouldn't go out hungry.

Shen Sisi washed her face with water and carefully applied cold cream.

Her fingers flew, and her long hair, like a waterfall, was braided into a pigtail, hanging diagonally in front of her chest.

No matter how difficult it was, Shen Sisi lived her life seriously. Within her ability, she would never mistreat herself or Niuniu.

Looking at herself in the mirror, without any makeup but full of energy, she got up with satisfaction and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

There were no ingredients prepared in the new house. Apart from oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, I only found a few eggs.

She and Niu Niu each ate a bowl of golden boiled eggs, then went out holding the child in one hand and carrying a basket in the other.

I plan to go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and black market to buy some things and find ways to make money.

Although she held Gu Chengfeng's passbook, the money must not be touched.

As for the 700 yuan dowry, she will find an opportunity to return it to Gu Chengfeng.

After calculating this way, she actually didn't have much money left and was really stretched.

Instead of living off her savings and relying on men, Shen Sisi would rather rely on herself and earn money with her own hands.

She locked the gate and took Niuniu to the morning market.

The people around who got up early saw her and cast surprised glances at her.

When did such a beautiful woman appear in the military compound?

Her face is fair and clean, and her facial features are bright and elegant, giving people the feeling of a lotus emerging from clear water.

His every move is graceful and elegant, his temperament is gentle and graceful, though a little aloof and arrogant. It's obvious that he comes from a wealthy family.

She was holding a skinny little baby in her hand.

Whose military wife is this? I’ve never seen her before.

Feeling everyone's curious and friendly gazes, Shen Sisi smiled back politely.

Over the years, she has long lost the desire to interact with others, and being an acquaintance is enough.

After all...few people can accept someone like her.

Shen Sisi didn't stop and walked quickly past with Niuniu.

When I got to the street, many early risers had already gone to work.

She asked someone for the location of the black market. It was quite far from here, by the river at the South Gate, and she needed to go to the pier to take a ferry.

Jiangcheng is an ancient city with a long history. The Nanjiang River runs through the city, dividing it into two parts, North City and South City.

The military district where they were located was near Old Kitamonji.

The black market and some all kinds of people are mainly concentrated at the South Gate.

The fastest way to travel from north to south, between the two urban areas, is to take a ferry.

It was Shen Sisi’s first time to take a ferry, and she felt it was very novel.

The ferry runs every 10 minutes. It is a traditional large wooden paddle boat that can carry more than 30 people. A ticket costs 3 cents, which is equivalent to a water bus.

Shen Sisi held Niuniu in her arms and sat in the back seat, gazing at the sparkling river and the cargo and fishing boats coming and going. She was in an extremely good mood.

"Mom, the big ship is moving. It's so fun..." Niu Niu was so excited that her big eyes rolled around and she was curious about everything she saw.

Just when the boat was in the middle of the river, a wave suddenly came and the boat swayed. The old lady next to Shen Sisi was not paying attention and her butt tilted and she fell into the water.

"Be careful!" Shen Sisi reacted quickly and grabbed her with swift eyes and hands.
