When he followed Jiang Huaizhi to the family compound, Yu Nianbai finally understood that what Jiang Huaizhi said was true. Even if the marriage report was torn up, he would still be able to get married.

Look, she was taken into the family compound.

The family housing estates here are very different from those in Beijing.

Each family in Beijing’s residential quarters has its own courtyard.

Here, a number of three-story buildings have been built.

There is one family on each floor.

Jiang Huaizhi took Yu Nianbai to a small building in front.

He took her into the building and walked up the stairs.

"The first floor of this building is occupied by the political commissar, the second floor is ours, and the third floor is occupied by the chief of staff."

Yu Nianbai had never been exposed to these things, and had never lived in a military housing compound as a military dependent.

To her, this kind of thing would never happen to her.

She would never think about marrying a soldier, let alone a division commander, and she didn't have the heart to think about it.

After Jiang Huaizhi opened the door with the key, he handed the key directly to Yu Nianbai.

"Here is the key to this place, keep it safe."

Yu Nianbai took it silently and followed Jiang Huaizhi inside.

This is a house with one living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a toilet and a balcony. Unlike the bungalows in the countryside, it was the first time that Yu Nianbai saw a toilet on the second floor.

The house is new and has a good layout, and it seems spacious enough for two people to live in it.

Yu Nianbai stood there, not daring to move, looking a little awkward.

Jiang Huaizhi put down his luggage and looked back, only to see her standing there in a daze. He frowned slightly and urged her.

"What are you standing there for? Put your clothes in the closet in your room."

Yu Nianbai looked at Jiang Huaizhi and asked, "Where do I live?"

Jiang Huaizhi understood the meaning of her words, which meant that she was unwilling to live in the same room with him.

Impatient expression appeared on his face, and he pointed casually at the small study next to the bedroom.

"There's a reclining chair in the study. If you don't want to sleep in the bedroom, go there."

He originally thought that after saying this, Yu Nianbai would choose to live in the bedroom without hesitation.

But who would have thought that she didn't hesitate at all, picked up her luggage and walked towards the study.

Jiang Huaizhi's brows knitted even tighter.

He followed Yu Nianbai, stood at the door of the study, and watched her lower her head to tidy up her clothes.

The study is very small, and after placing a large bookshelf inside, there is not much space left.

With the addition of tables, chairs and recliners, it's difficult to even walk, let alone put a wardrobe in there.

Yu Nianbai had no place to put the clothes he had sorted out.

She took out the clothes, thought about it, and wanted to put them back in, but this time she was stopped by Jiang Huaizhi.

"Put the clothes in my room."

Yu Nianbai didn't move, Jiang Huaizhi said impatiently: "Each of you has half of the closet, it's enough for you to put things in. Don't pile things all over my study. If I see, I will throw them all away."

After hearing what Jiang Huaizhi said, Yu Nianbai had no choice but to get up and walk towards the bedroom with his clothes.

The bedroom is several times larger than the study and is also very tidy and clean. There is only a bed and a wardrobe, nothing else.

Yu Nianbai didn't look at it any further. She put the clothes into the other side of the closet with quick movements.

After putting it away, he walked out of the bedroom.

"Since we have reached an agreement, you will be the hostess here for the next year. You can move anything here. I will go get the food, and you can do whatever you want."

Jiang Huaizhi walked out of the door without looking back. Yu Nianbai wanted to say that there was no need to get food, and she could go to the cafeteria to eat with him, but before she could say anything, Jiang Huaizhi disappeared.

She opened her mouth and closed it again. Yu Nianbai looked around. Although there were not many things here, it looked clean and tidy.

But after all, no one had lived there for a long time, and there was a thick layer of dust on the tables, chairs, and cabinets.

Yu Nianbai went to the bathroom, took out a wet rag, and began to wipe the corners.

Jiang Huaizhi came back with a lunch box, and when he opened the door he saw Yu Nianbai's back busy wiping the floor.

A trace of warmth seemed to be injected into his long-sealed heart.

He seldom lives in this house.

Most of the time he lived in the army, eating and living with the soldiers, and he only visited the family compound once a month.

Because it's lonely, dead and lifeless.

But the scene before him surprised Jiang Huaizhi.

The house is no longer dead silent because it has a hostess.

Yu Nianbai heard the door open, turned around, and met the man's deep eyes.

She quickly explained, "I saw the table was covered in dust, so I wanted to wipe it off."

"Yeah." Jiang Huaizhi responded calmly and put the lunch box on the table: "Come and eat."

Yu Nianbai put the rag back into the toilet and came out after washing his hands.

Jiang Huaizhi opened the lunch box, and a rich aroma filled the entire room.

The dishes in both lunch boxes are the same.

Yu Nianbai saw it and said, "I can actually go to the cafeteria to eat by myself."

Jiang Huaizhi put down his chopsticks and looked up at her: "The food I ordered is not to your liking?"

"No, I just think it's not necessary to go through so much trouble to specially get food back." Yu Nianbai said directly and straightforwardly.

After saying that, under Jiang Huaizhi's gaze, she took the chopsticks, picked up the food and started eating.

This action told Jiang Huaizhi that she didn't mind the food he prepared.

Not only that, Yu Nianbai ate very quickly. Jiang Huaizhi had only eaten half of his meal when Yu Nianbai had already finished it, without leaving a single grain of rice.

After she finished eating, she got up and went to the kitchen with her lunch box.

Jiang Huaizhi raised his eyebrows and stared at her back again and again.

She washed the lunch box, and Jiang Huaizhi had just finished his meal when Yu Nianbai called him.

"Let me do it. You were the one who went to get the food just now. I'll do the dishes." Yu Nianbai said.

She said that she didn't like to take advantage of others, and this also applied to small matters like this.

Jiang Huaizhi didn't insist. He got up and went back to the bedroom without saying a word.

Yu Nianbai didn't notice anything wrong with the man. She took the lunch box to the kitchen to wash it.

After finishing all the cleaning, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the bedroom door was opened and Jiang Huaizhi came out with a cold face.

"The team is organizing a dinner party tonight. You wait for me at home."

Having said that, he walked out the door.

Nianbai was left alone again.

Yu Nianbai couldn't say the words that were on her lips. She wanted to say no.

But looking at Jiang Huaizhi's cold face, and thinking that they had already reached an agreement, Jiang Huaizhi's expression was not to be refused.

She sighed softly and felt a little unlike herself.

Is marriage a bondage?

Being stuck in an empty house with nothing to do.

Yu Nianbai didn't want to live like this. After the marriage report was approved, she wanted Jiang Huaizhi to keep his promise and introduce her to the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe. By then, she would still be herself.

After enduring a year and divorcing him, she was truly free.

Whenever he thought about the day one year later, Yu Nianbai felt hopeful again.

She even began to look forward to her own life one year from now.
