Chapter 255 Smile More From Now On

"Yes, I know."

Qi Jingchuan held Cen Yan's feet, wiped them clean with a towel, then put them into the quilt and covered her with the blanket.

"I'm going out to wash up."

As he spoke, Qi Jingchuan took the foot-washing water out, opened the kettle, filled the basin halfway with hot water, and then sat down in the main room to wash his feet. Afterwards, he went to the bathroom, and when he came back and lay down in bed, he smelled a particularly pleasant scent of soap.

Cen Yan's nose twitched. "You used my soap?"

"Is it not allowed?" Qi Jingchuan carefully folded every corner of the blanket to make sure he was lying properly in bed.

Cen Yan, who was sleeping next to him, mumbled, "It's not that it's not okay, and I don't mind you, it just feels a little strange."

"What's strange about it?"

"I can't explain it." Cen Yan wanted to say that Qi Jingchuan was quite respectful to her, so if he wouldn't touch her, why did he use her soap?

She even washed her feet with the water she had used.

Isn't this man a germaphobe? In fact, it seems to be a severe case of germaphobia.

During the time she lived with him after their marriage, she almost forgot that Qi Jingchuan was a germaphobe. He was nothing like the rumors suggested. Could it be that Qi Jingchuan was actually a repressed and scheming person who would "create a persona"?

Cen Yan shifted her body, turning to face Qi Jingchuan. After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and touched his face. "I'm curious, why don't you smile much? Do you have facial paralysis? Should I give you a couple of acupuncture needles?"

"No need, I just don't like to smile," Qi Jingchuan said. "It makes me look more authoritative, which makes things easier in the army."

"Pfft! With that sour face of yours, you must have gotten a lot of beatings when you first joined the army," Cen Yan teased.

Qi Jingchuan replied seriously, "No, none of them can beat me."

Qi Jingchuan trained under his father's tutelage from a young age, mastering military boxing and various combat techniques. From the first day he enlisted until now, he has always been the top student among his peers, and many of his seniors are not as good as him.

At least in terms of physical fitness, fighting skills, and professional competence, he is second to none.

Of course, he only said these words to Cen Yan. He hoped that his wife could have more... admiration for him, yes, admiration.

After listening to him finish speaking, Cen Yan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You'll really have no friends if you keep going like this. You should smile more often so that your comrades in the army will support you as the regimental commander."

"But I just want to smile at you, my wife," Qi Jingchuan said urgently, then quickly put on a stern face, "I didn't mean it that way, don't take it to heart."

How could he forget that Cen Yan was someone who wanted to return to the vast world of Shanghai, while he was just a soldier stationed on Dongming Island, nothing more.

She doesn't want to share a room because she's thinking about leaving someday, isn't she?

Why say such ambiguous things and disturb Cen Yan's mood?

Cen Yan was indeed affected; she suspected she was hallucinating and had misheard what Qi Jingchuan was saying.

It wasn't until she realized she hadn't misheard; Qi Jingchuan had indeed said he only wanted to smile at her and didn't want to pay attention to anyone else.

She quickly turned her back to Qi Jingchuan to hide her slightly flushed cheeks. "I don't know when it's time. Hurry up and go to sleep. As the saying goes, a smile makes you ten years younger, and a smile makes you feel good. It's never wrong."

"Okay." Qi Jingchuan immediately agreed, planning to go to the army tomorrow and greet his comrades with a smile.
