The two got right to work and quickly found a suitable spot in the garden. They began turning the soil, sowing seeds, and then watering them with the spiritual spring water.

After everything was done, Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing sat on a bench to rest. Gu Nanxun held Lin Qing's hand and said gently, "Are you tired?"

Lin Qing shook her head. "It's not even a warm-up, so how can I get tired? That's the downside of having a better physique. It's not easy to even break a sweat when I want to do some work!"

Gu Nanxun couldn't help but smile upon hearing this. He reached out and patted Lin Qing's head, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Want to sweat? That's easy. Why don't we..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing's ears turned bright red. She suddenly stood up from the stool and ran straight into the house, saying to Gu Nanxun as she ran, "Brother Nanxun, I'm tired. I'm going back to rest. You can play by yourself!"

"Pfft..."

Gu Nanxun couldn't help but laugh as he watched Lin Qing run like a rabbit. It seemed he had gone too far that day and had scared his wife half to death.

Gu Nanxun watched Lin Qing's retreating figure, his eyes filled with doting affection and amusement. He didn't immediately chase after her, but instead sat quietly on a bench in the garden, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

After a while, Gu Nanxun stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and went into the house. Lin Qing had already washed up and was sitting on the bed reading a book. When she saw Gu Nanxun come in, she hurriedly threw the book aside, lay down on the bed, and pulled the quilt over herself.

"Nanxun, go wash up first! I won't wait for you, I'm going to sleep now."

"Okay, you go to sleep first! I'm going to wash up."

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun touched his nose, feeling embarrassed, and walked towards the bathroom. After washing up, he helped his uncle make a video call before returning to the bedroom and gently lying down next to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing was already asleep. Gu Nanxun looked at Lin Qing's peaceful sleeping face, gently pulled her into his arms, turned off the light, and closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qing opened her eyes in the darkness, looked at the sleeping face of the man beside her for a while, then rolled into Gu Nanxun's arms before closing her eyes again with peace of mind.

...

They slept soundly through the night, without a single dream. When they woke up, Zhao Xi had already prepared breakfast. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun each drank a bowl of soy milk and ate a few steamed buns. Then, Lin Qing accompanied Gu Nanxun to the military academy to register. The registration process at the military academy was no different from their previous one; they filled out forms and were assigned dormitories.

"Here is your dorm key, 716. Please take it."

Gu Lanxun reached out and took the key, then picked up the luggage with one hand and walked towards the dormitory with Lin Qing. Gu Lanxun carried the big things, while Lin Qing carried some small things.

"Why haven't you had it yet? You really don't have it, do you?!"

Lin Qing was still thinking about the back-to-school gift package, and said it to Gu Nanxun as they walked.

Gu Nanxun smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, maybe it's not time yet! You forgot, yours was also received when we gathered at the school gate."

"Hmm, what you said makes sense, then let's wait a little longer!"

The dormitory wasn't too far from the registration area, and Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun found it quickly. When they arrived, there were already people in the dormitory.

"Instructor?"

As soon as Gu Nanxun entered the dormitory, before he could even observe the surroundings, he heard a familiar voice.

"Erdan, what's going on?"

Gu Nanxun looked up and saw one of his former soldiers standing excitedly in front of him, so he asked him curiously.

"Instructor, this is my younger brother. I brought him to school."

The young man named Erdan pulled a young man next to him and spoke to Gu Nanxun.

After speaking, she looked at Gu Nanxun with a puzzled expression and asked, "Instructor, what's going on?"

Gu Nanxun reached out and placed his things on the upper bunk near the door, then said, "I'm here to go to school."

"Instructor, you're actually here to study too!" Erdan's face showed a surprised expression. He found it unbelievable. With the instructor's skills and abilities, who would dare to teach him? It would be more believable if the instructor himself came here to be an instructor.

Gu Nanxun nodded and said with a smile, "Why can't I come to school? People should keep improving and learning, and never be overly ambitious."

Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's lecture, Erdan immediately stood up straight and said earnestly, "The instructor is right. I will definitely work harder in the future."

Seeing this, Gu Nanxun reached out and patted Erdan on the shoulder, "Hmm! Not bad, keep up the good work. Is this your younger brother?"

"Yes, this is my younger brother, Zhao Dali. He has always admired soldiers since he was a child and dreamed of becoming one himself. After hard work, he finally got into military academy." Erdan said, patting his brother's shoulder with a proud look on his face.

“Yes, I have a colleague named Wang Dali, and your name is Zhao Dali. You will definitely become an excellent soldier in the future,” Gu Nanxun said with a smile.

"Thank you, Instructor! I will definitely work hard!" Erdan's younger brother, Zhao Dali, said excitedly, his eyes filled with excitement. He often heard his older brother tell him about the instructor's heroic deeds at home, and today he finally met him in person.

"Don't call me instructor. If nothing unexpected happens, we might be classmates in the future."

Gu Nanxun reached out and patted Zhao Dali on the shoulder, saying with a smile.

"What incredible luck you had to become classmates with the drill instructor! I wish I had taken the exam too."

Erdan reached out and shoved Zhao Dali, then said with a jealous look on his face.

Lin Qing stood aside, watching this scene, and felt a pang of emotion. She had always known that Gu Nanxun had a high reputation in the army, and his students respected and loved him greatly.

"Alright, let's pack our things first," Gu Nanxun said, starting to make his bed.

"Instructor, you take a break, I'll take care of it!"

Seeing this, Erdan hurriedly stepped forward, then climbed onto the bed like a monkey in a few quick movements and began to help Gu Nanxun make the bed.

Seeing this, Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing exchanged a helpless glance and laughed silently.

"Instructor, you can have this, sister-in-law."

At this moment, Zhao Dali dragged two chairs to Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing's side, and then said with a smile.

"Please sit down, I'll put the things in the cabinet!"

Gu Nanxun pulled Lin Qing onto a stool, then got up and put the small items Lin Qing had brought into the cabinet, and then locked it.

"Instructor, I've finished packing. Is there anything else that needs to be packed?"

Zhao Erdan jumped off the bed and said to Gu Nanxun with a smile.

"That's all, you guys keep going! Your sister-in-law and I will head back now."

Gu Nanxun shook his head, then pulled Lin Qing to her feet and said to Zhao Erdan.

"Okay, instructor, take care, you and your wife!"

Zhao Erdan and Zhao Dali said loudly together.

Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun smiled upon hearing this, then walked out of the dormitory. After walking a long way, they could still vaguely hear Zhao Erdan saying to Zhao Dali, "You're really lucky, kid..."

"Brother Nanxun, is there still no news about your back-to-school gift package?" Lin Qing asked.
