Upon hearing that Chen Hong had agreed to go to Beijing with him, Zhou Yi was overjoyed and quickly explained the situation to her:

"According to regulations, someone of my rank is entitled to an apartment in the family compound, but it's definitely not as big as our own family's apartment."

Once the house is ready, I think it's better for us to live in the military family compound most of the time, since the military provides shuttle buses for the children to and from school.

Moreover, they are all children of military personnel, and the fact that the children go to school and live together makes it easier for them to make friends.

Most of my childhood friends came from the same compound. The bond we formed growing up together is very precious. Nowadays, most children are only children, and this is very important.

Our relationship is closer than that of blood brothers; we have always helped each other over the years.

You might not be used to it, though. The residential compound isn't in the city center, so if you want to go out or shop, you have to walk more than 20 minutes to find a large supermarket.

"We can buy a car later, it won't be inconvenient at all."

Zhou Yi was worried that Chen Hong wouldn't want to live in the family compound, so he tried his best to recommend the advantages of living in the family compound to her, and he was even a little incoherent.

Chen Hong: "I've been to my sister's house. Her house is quite remote. If she had a car, it wouldn't be a problem."

By the way, how big of a house will you be allocated? My sister's house is only about 60 square meters, with only two small bedrooms, so it's not very comfortable to live in.

However, we have a house in the city, so if I get bored on weekends, I can take Yu Yang to stay in the city.

Ugh, just thinking about it is a bit annoying. If I go to Beijing, I'll have to take Yu Yang to your house to meet your parents and family, right?

Yu Yang's extracurricular classes also need to find new teachers and schools, and a whole host of other things in Jinan need to be dealt with...

Oh dear! I was supposed to be able to relax and not worry about anything anymore, but now that I'm married, I have to settle down in Beijing again!

Chen Hong wailed in Zhou Yi's arms!

Zhou Yi hugged Chen Hong and chuckled, "You can still lie flat now!"

Leave everything else to me. You and your son should settle things in Jinan. Once I've applied for the house, come and reunite with me.

Don't worry, I'll take care of everything for Yu Yang, from schooling and extracurricular classes to finding teachers.

You two wait for my good news. Then you can bring your son to Beijing to study.

Also, things are even simpler in my hometown. You've met my parents, and they both like you very much. They've been wanting me to marry you for a long time.

You've already passed the parents' test. We'll just take some time to go home, have a meal with our family, and reconnect with our relatives.

"You can go back to see your parents whenever you want, or it's fine if you don't. My parents live with my older brother, and they're usually taken care of."

Chen Hong: "You make it sound so easy. You don't know, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been difficult to manage. They may look good to each other before marriage, but that may not be the case after marriage."

Oh well, never mind. Anyway, I'm married to you now, so I'm pretty much done with it. I'll just take it one step at a time!

Zhou Yi, let me tell you in advance, I'm the kind of person who only treats those who treat me well.

If anyone doesn't like me, I'll stay far away from them and won't try to please them, even if they are my parents or relatives.

"I have a bad temper, so you'd better be prepared. If we end up arguing every day, I'll definitely rebel and leave you."

Zhou Yi: "You wish! Once we get the marriage certificate, I'll be yours, and of course, you'll be mine too."

"Breaking up is impossible unless you take me everywhere you go!" He chuckled slyly.

Chen Hong: "Aren't you being unreasonable? You want me to take you everywhere I go? You're dreaming!"

Zhou Yi grinned, revealing his wide white teeth, and said, "Okay, okay, I'm dreaming. You're beautiful, so how about that!"

He couldn't resist touching her slender, smooth waist, coaxing his wife to play.

Zhou Yi was lost in his own thoughts and fantasies when Yu Yang finished his practice and came out of his bedroom.

"Dad Zhou, I've finished my homework. Let's go for a run!"

"Ahem, ahem!" Zhou Yi immediately sat up straight and nodded seriously: "Come on, change your shoes! Let's go downstairs now. Perfect timing, I'll teach you the last few moves of military boxing."

I have to go back in a couple of days. You should take good care of yourself and stay healthy. I don't expect you to be able to protect your mother.

I just hope you can get your body in good shape so you can be healthy and concentrate on your studies.

Become independent as soon as possible, so your mother has less to worry about and can enjoy her retirement sooner.

Yu Yang nodded solemnly and went downstairs to exercise with his father, Mr. Zhou.

Chen Hong didn't go. While the father and son went downstairs, she went to the bathroom to take a shower first. When the father and son came back, they would also have to take a shower in line.

Sigh! It's so inconvenient to have a small house. There's only one bathroom, and the three of us have to wait in line to take a shower every day.

She was thinking that if they left Jinan, they wouldn't need to buy a house for her brother anymore. They could transfer the ownership of this house to their father so that his family could live there, and also bring their two nieces to Jinan to attend school.

When I have some free time, I'll go to the area near the school again and buy a storefront for my father. Selling stationery there would provide a long-term source of income.

She can rest assured now that she's gone to Beijing!

Chen Hong stood under the showerhead, rubbing her hair as she mentally planned her arrangements for the house.

An hour and a half later, Zhou Yicai and Yu Yang returned. Chen Hong was already leaning back on the sofa, watching TV and dozing off.

The father and son smiled at each other, not wanting to disturb her. Yu Yang went to take a shower and rest first. Zhou Yi touched Chen Hong's face, drank a glass of water, and then went into the bathroom to take a shower as well.

He freshened himself up, put on his pajamas, came out of the bathroom, turned off the TV, scooped up Chen Hong from the sofa, and hurried into the master bedroom.

Another night of passionate lovemaking, a harmonious blend of yin and yang, and Chen Hong drifted into a deep sleep. Even when Zhou Yi carried her to the bathroom for a shower and then back to the bedroom, she remained half-asleep and drowsy.
