Shen Shuyi didn't rush to leave the office, but listened as Director Fan dismissed the disciplinary team members.

Wang Wen was expelled and will never be able to serve as the lead singer in the performing arts troupe again.

Xiao Shu also committed defamation and lost her position in the cultural troupe. If it weren't for the deep roots of the Xiao family on the island, she would probably have ended up like Wang Wen.

Shen Shuyi was satisfied and left the office with Yan Zheng's hand. Xiao Shu gritted her teeth and chased after them resentfully.

"Shen Shuyi!"

"Shen Shuyi, you shouldn't be here at all!"

Shen Shuyi turned to look at her, slightly raising her chin, "Then tell me, where should I be?"

"You should have died in the countryside!" Xiao Shu blurted out in a fit of rage.

She didn't forget to sow discord, "Yan Zheng, do you think she loves you that much? She only got involved with you because of a family crisis!"

"Shen Shuyi is using you. The person she actually loves is my husband, Li Donghai!"

Yan Zheng held Shen Shuyi's hand tightly, completely unaffected by Xiao Shu's words.

"What does it matter to you whether she likes me or not?"

"Whatever decision she makes, or whether she uses me, I'll accept it willingly."

"Besides, do you think I don't know or feel whether she loves me or not?"

Yan Zheng thought this woman was incredibly foolish.

Xiao Shu pointed at Shen Shuyi and cursed, "You bitch, you ruined everything for me!"

She used to have a decent job, but now she doesn't.

Now that she's back home, her parents will definitely accuse her of causing trouble, especially since her father has an illegitimate child...

"Slap!" Shen Shuyi stepped forward and slapped her across the face.

At this moment, Li Donghai, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, quickly helped Xiao Shu up, saying, "Xiao Shu, let's go home first."

When Xiao Shu saw Li Donghai, she calmed down considerably.

Yes, she also has Li Donghai, who will become a leader in the future, and she will be the leader's wife!

As for Shen Shuyi... Yan Zheng will be killed in a mission within a month, and he will return as a corpse!

The erratic Xiao Shu was forcibly dragged home by Li Donghai.

...

When Shen Shuyi and Yan Zheng returned home, they found that the barbecue had gone cold.

Yan Zheng told Shen Shuyi to drink the chicken soup first; the stewing chicken soup was still warm.

Shen Shuyi held a bowl of chicken soup and drank it, then asked the man who was heating up the grilled fish and duck.

"Brother Zheng, after hearing what Xiao Shu said, don't you have any questions for me?"

Yan Zheng looked up at her, his eyes filled with affection, "I don't believe other people's nonsense."

"And...most importantly, you're with me. As long as you're by my side, I'll feel happy and joyful."

Shen Shuyi put down the bowl of chicken soup, came behind Yan Zheng, bent down and wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned against his back.

"Comrade Yan Zheng, you're so kind!"

After saying that, she kissed Yan Zheng on the cheek.

Yan Zheng was squatting next to the barbecue grill, heating up the meat, when she suddenly kissed him, and he was overjoyed.

It was already late afternoon when the two had lunch. Yan Zheng had to go out for a while, while Shen Shuyi stayed home fiddling with her sewing machine.

She used points from the system store to buy materials that could be used to make bulletproof vests, and made a bulletproof vest and a pair of bulletproof shorts from these lightweight materials.

System 66 laughed out loud in the space: Dear host, you are too cautious. In the previous life, Yan Zheng died from a gunshot wound to the chest. You didn't need to wear bulletproof shorts at all.

Shen Shuyi said seriously, "That won't do. What if he gets hurt down there? I'd be heartbroken if he became crippled!"

Yan Zheng went to the government office to report his mission, and then went to Commander Liu's office to ask his uncle to take good care of and protect Shuyi.

When he got home, he saw Shen Shuyi intently sewing. He walked over, sat down, and gently put his arm around her waist. "Shuyi, what are you doing?"

"I'm making you a bulletproof vest!" Shen Shuyi handed him the two sets of clothes she had finished.

"Give it a try."

"Wear it when you're on a mission, if it's appropriate."

She didn't hide it from Yan Zheng; it was a bulletproof vest. She didn't want to say anything about a surprise, fearing that Yan Zheng might not be wearing it, and she didn't want to gamble on that probability.

Yan Zheng held up the clothes to himself, "They fit perfectly."

Then he put down the clothes, picked up Shen Shuyi, and spun her around a few times. "Shuyi, how are you so amazing? You can even make bulletproof vests."

Shen Shuyi punched his shoulder, "I'm dizzy, put me down."

"Bulletproof vests are nothing! I can build aircraft carriers and cannons!"

Yan Zheng stared at her intently. "Shuyi, are you a fairy reincarnated?"

Shen Shuyi met his gaze and saw that besides doting, his eyes also held a deep admiration.

"This was done in a bit of a rush, but I'll make you a more advanced bulletproof vest next time!"

Yan Zheng said, "That's good enough."

As their parting drew near, neither of them wanted to go out; they just wanted to stay together as much as possible.

While Shen Shuyi was working on the aircraft carrier design drawings, Yan Zheng was chopping firewood in the yard. The firewood was chopped into small pieces so it would burn easily.

The vegetables in the yard were also watered, and the golden chrysanthemums by the yard wall were in bloom, filling the air with their fragrance.

The night before Yan Zheng left, Shen Shuyi once again felt the raging storm.

That evening, while she was taking a bath, the man knocked on the bathroom door solicitously.

"Shuyi, would you like me to scrub your back?"

Hearing his hoarse voice, Shen Shuyi's breath hitched. But thinking that he was leaving the next morning, she indulgently agreed.

"Come in."

Shen Shuyi looked up and her face flushed instantly, because Yan Zheng had taken off his shirt as soon as he came in, revealing his muscular chest.

His muscle definition seemed even more pronounced, with large, strong eight-pack abs.

The V-line along the sides of his abs extends downwards, giving him a very muscular, muscular waist...

Yan Zheng took the towel and bent down to wipe her body.

Shen Shuyi felt the water was getting hotter and hotter, so she raised her hand and pushed Yan Zheng's arm. "Stop washing. We should go to sleep early. You have to set off tomorrow."

"Okay." Yan Zheng picked her up and carried her back to the bed, letting her sit in his lap while he applied lotion.

Shen Shuyi rested her face against Yan Zheng's chest, nuzzling him as she enjoyed his touch.

Yan Zheng tensed up as she rubbed against him, then put down the bottles and jars and hugged her tightly.

"Yan Zheng, I can't breathe." Shen Shuyi pushed him.

Yan Zheng held her tightly in his arms, feeling her smooth and soft body. At this moment, he felt that his soul was completely satisfied.

It felt like the person he was holding was his everything.

When he relaxed, Shen Shuyi pinched the man's waist.

Yan Zheng chuckled and nuzzled Chen Shuyi's cheek with his high nose, his voice gentle, "Shuyi, I'm sorry I couldn't always be by your side."

Shen Shuyi squeezed his hand, "As long as you come back safely, that's all that matters."

The two snuggled together in bed and soon kissed.

This man was in his prime and a soldier; his exceptionally high physical stamina allowed him to maintain that level of activity for an entire night.

Shen Shuyi felt like the bed was about to collapse again. In the middle of the night, the man finally held her breath and gently kissed and comforted her.
