Song Zhan had been chopping wood all morning and was covered in sweat. He was only wearing a gray vest.

Bai Lu smelled the pleasant scent of his sweat and unconsciously moved closer.

Realizing her lapse in composure, she smiled and explained, "I really do have something to discuss with Comrade Shen."

"Then wait a moment."

Song Zhan turned and went into the house with a dark face. Shen Wanjun opened her eyes when she heard the noise outside.

Her cheeks were still flushed, and she sat on the bed in her pajamas, her mind still not fully clear.

"Bai Lu is here again."

Shen Wanjun tilted her head and smiled, saying, "It seems she's quite persistent about you."

"She's coming to see you."

Shen Wanjun yawned. "Let them in."

Bai Lu's visits to her were either to cause her trouble or to see Song Zhan.

Sometimes Shen Wanjun had to admit that Bai Lu was very smart and had extraordinary perseverance.

She always had a reason to buzz around Song Zhan like a fly, impossible to get rid of.

Knowing that Song Zhan was already married and about to have a child, Bai Lu still insisted on winning him over.

Unlike Hao Yan, who lacked both IQ and EQ and was eliminated early.

"Comrade Bai, you were looking for me?"

The sun was shining brightly today, and Shen Wanjun, wearing thick pajamas, sat lazily in the courtyard.

Song Zhan was chopping wood nearby.

The vest tightly wrapped around his broad back, soaked with sweat.

Dark gray water stains ran from his shoulder blades down into the military trousers tightly cinched at his waist.

His bronze-colored arms were muscular and bulging, exuding a primal, powerful beauty with every swing of the axe.

With a crisp "crack," the firewood split in two, sending debris flying.

Song Zhan raised his arm and casually wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of split wood and a strong, masculine aroma.

It was an unadorned, highly aggressive sense of power.

The pure, breathtaking, gushing sexual tension left Bai Lu speechless.

Shen Wanjun said, "Comrade Bai likes to watch it, then you should watch it more."

Bai Lu turned her head away, somewhat embarrassed.

Why isn't Shen Wanjun jealous? And she even lets her look at it more?!

Just as she was feeling suspicious, she heard Shen Wanjun say, "I see it every day, and I'm getting a little tired of it."

Bai Lu responded with an "oh," and said, "You're just showing off."

"Comrade Shen, having a baby must have a big impact on your figure, right? Your breasts will sag, your hips will widen, and you might even lose your hair and get acne."

Bai Lu looked at her with sympathy: "Being a mother is suffering."

Shen Wanjun said calmly, "So you must always stay beautiful."

Then I wish you eternal singleness.

Bai Lu didn't reply, but said, "Comrade Shen, I'm here to ask Battalion Commander Song for a favor."

"Then go directly to him."

Shen Wanjun called Song Zhan over: "Comrade Bai said he needs to talk to you."

Song Zhan wiped away his sweat. He was burning up, but his tone was so cold it could freeze someone to death.

"Speak your mind directly."

He just said he was looking for his wife, and now he's saying he's looking for me. What kind of trouble is she up to now?

Bai Lu didn't expect Shen Wanjun to call Song Zhan directly. She thought for a moment and said, "Battalion Commander Song, Meng Shigang... he keeps bothering me."

"Could you please talk to him for me?"

"What are you saying? What do you mean by 'entanglement'?"

Song Zhan said, "Can't you just tell him yourself?! If you reject him, how dare he still bother you?"

Bai Lu's words were completely unfounded. If Meng Shigang were really going to pester her relentlessly, she would have gone to the political commissar long ago.

She's the kind of person who would never suffer the slightest injustice.

Bai Lu didn't directly reject him, either because she was keeping Meng Shigang as a backup, or because her pride made her like the feeling of being pursued.

Shen Wanjun also considered another possibility: she was looking for an excuse to see Song Zhan.

To be honest, that "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for someone who is considered unattractive) is really smart.

If Song Zhan had even a little compassion or chivalry, he would definitely have helped.

But Song Zhan didn't say that, "I'm busy."

He couldn't be bothered with Bai Lu's affairs, so he turned around and left to continue chopping wood.

Bai Lu was a little embarrassed: "Comrade Shen, Battalion Commander Song's leg seems to be completely healed."

Shen Wanjun nodded, and Bai Lu added, "He just recovered and went to chop wood, doing such heavy work. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Don't you... feel sorry for him?"

Shen Wanjun shook her head seriously: "He was able to recover because of his daily exercise. Feeling sorry for him is worthless."

The main reason is that the spiritual spring water is very effective, and Song Zhan's perseverance is also amazing. He has been exercising every day since he could move his toes.

It is truly remarkable that he has recovered to this day.

Bai Lu was speechless after being rebuked, and it took her a long time to finally speak: "Aren't you burning honeycomb briquettes? Why are you chopping wood?"

Shen Wanjun didn't feel sorry for Song Zhan, but she felt extremely sorry for him.

If the man's leg just heals and he gets sick again from overworking, then Shen Wanjun will be in for a world of trouble.

"Oh, boil water for a bath."

Shen Wanjun pointed to a large pot and a large bath tub set up in the courtyard.

Upon seeing the bathtub, Bai Lu's eyes widened slightly. Could it be the one she was thinking of?

Song Zhan and Shen Wanjun took a bath together?!

Shen Wanjun smiled, guessing what Bai Lu was thinking, and nodded slightly.

—Yes, just as you think.

They took a bath more than once, feeling comfortable and relaxed.

Bai Lu, a lifelong single woman, certainly doesn't know the advantages of having a rough-around-the-edges husband.

"Comrade Bai, do you want me to put in a good word for you with Meng Shigang?"

"Oh? Well... that works too."

Bai Lu nodded; Meng Shigang was no longer of any use to her.

She had planned to use him and then get rid of him, and with Shen Wanjun's intervention, she was even more at ease.

Bai Lu returned empty-handed, her gaze lingering on Song Zhan.

Shen Wanjun went out and found Dang Xianghong, giving her an important task.

"You want me to introduce Meng Shigang to someone?"

Dang Xianghong asked suspiciously, "Are you very familiar with him?"

Meng Shigang was a lowly soldier, an honest man who didn't talk much.

Older single men are considered unstable factors, and the organization has been quite concerned about his marriage prospects.

"If you're not familiar with them, just consider it a good deed."

"It's that simple?"

Dang Xianghong didn't believe that Shen Wanjun would be so kind as to help a mere acquaintance.

Shen Wanjun: "Introduce him to a good partner, and then we can give Bai Lu a good slap in the face."

Dang Xianghong laughed heartily: "That's more like it!"

At night, the people in the compound were awakened by the little dumpling's cries.

The security personnel escorted Yang Duoduo home, and Feng Xiang thanked them excitedly, saying, "Thank you so much!"

He was about to kneel down as he spoke.

The security guard said, "We didn't rescue the child."

Yang Duoduo said clearly, "An old man saved me and even took me to the gate of the compound."

After the security personnel saw this, they brought the person in.

"What does the old man look like?" Feng Xiang asked.

Yang Duoduo: "A bald head."

She thought for a moment and then added, "There was another auntie who was also rescued."

"Auntie? What's your name?" Feng Xiang asked.

The aunt my daughter mentioned must also be a pitiful woman who was abducted.

Yang Duoduo tilted her head back and said, "Her surname is Qian."

"Where is she?"

"She went home; her husband brought her back to the village."

Yang Duoduo snuggled into Feng Xiang's arms and said, "Mom, that uncle looked so fierce, and he even hit Auntie."
