Lu Ze let Yu Yao cover his eyes and chuckled, "Excuse me, robber, what do you want to rob?"

Yu Yao's eyebrows curved into a smile: "Robbers, after all, are either after money or sex. Commander Lu, guess whether I want to rob you of your money or your body?"

Lu Ze remained calm. "You saw it yourself, the person is right here. My wife manages my monthly salary, and I only have five yuan for pocket money."

"Isn't five yuan too little? Didn't Commander Lu secretly save some money for himself? Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. Let's start by robbing him."

Lu Ze said in a low voice, "I don't have any secret savings. My wife controls the finances in our family."

Yu Yao nodded in satisfaction, but said aloud, "Since we have no money, let's just rob someone of their virtue. I think Commander Lu is handsome and dashing, so I won't lose out by robbing him of his virtue. I happen to be looking for a husband to take as my wife. Commander Lu, will you rob me?"

"Give me whatever you want."

Yu Yao released Lu Ze's eyes, walked up to him with her hands behind her back, looked up at him, and pretended to be angry, saying, "Didn't I tell you to keep your chastity pure when you're out there? How could you agree to let others take advantage of you?"

Lu Ze lowered his eyes, his dark, star-like eyes looking at her. "You are no one else."

Yu Yao narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile, "Then who am I?"

Lu Ze watched her joking around, a smile in his eyes, and spoke the purest love words in his magnetic voice: "You are my wife."

Yu Yao had considered "lover," "my woman," and "wife," but she never expected Lu Ze to say "my wife."

Although these words all mean the same thing, Yu Yao felt that her wife was more attractive to her.

She smiled brightly, her peach blossom eyes looking at Lu Ze: "Then what should I call Commander Lu? My man?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze's eyes darkened, his dark pupils becoming even more profound and unfathomable, as if a ferocious beast was lurking within, waiting for its chance to strike, and he himself was its prey.

Dangerous yet alluring.

Yu Yao blushed and quickly looked away, changing the subject, "Okay, okay, no more joking. Let's go back, the walls at home haven't been plastered yet."

Seeing her run away, a smile flashed in Lu Ze's eyes. Some people are really bad at it but love to play around.

Red kapok flowers fell from the kapok trees, petals landing in Yu Yao's hair. Lu Ze reached out and removed them for her. The two walked side by side on the pebble path covered with kapok flowers.

Looking at the fiery red kapok flowers covering the ground, Yu Yao felt a little regretful: "If all these kapok flowers were dried, they would be delicious in soups or salads. After I finish these next few days, I will definitely pick more to take home and dry."

Lu Ze hummed in agreement, "I'll go with you."

The two talked about their recent plans, with Yu Yao doing most of the talking while Lu Ze listened quietly, occasionally responding with a few words.

After walking for a while, Yu Yao got tired. "Lu Ze, I've been standing all morning, my legs are so sore, can you carry me?"

Lu Ze glanced around, noticing the occasional stares from those around him, and coughed, "Someone's watching. It's not good to do this in public."

"I don't care, Lu Ze, carry me on your back," Yu Yao said coquettishly.

She was really tired. Anyway, this was a compound with no outsiders. If she got a little too close, her sisters-in-law would just tease her a bit, but there wouldn't be any problems.

People around them were looking over, and Lu Ze noticed, "Are you really going to carry it?"

Yu Yao nodded emphatically.

Helpless, Lu Ze squatted down and said, "Get on."

Yu Yao laughed and jumped onto Lu Ze's back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, "My man is so good!"

After saying that, she blew a breath into his ear.

Lu Ze's back stiffened, and his ears turned red instantly. Yu Yao couldn't help but giggle when she saw this.

Commander Lu is still so easily amused.

Yu Yao was like someone who had discovered a fun toy and became addicted to it, blowing a breath into Lu Ze's ear every now and then.

Lu Ze went from feeling uncomfortable at first, but later patted the restless person's bottom with a helpless expression, "Be good."

Yu Yao let him go this time and lay down behind him.

When the soldier's wife saw Lu Ze carrying Yu Yao on his back, she asked curiously, "Yu Yao, what's wrong?"

Yu Yao said without blushing at all, "My leg cramped up, and Lu Ze was afraid I would get hurt, so he carried me back."

“This leg cramp is no small matter. Yu Yao has been working like a spinning top lately. Commander Lu, when you get back, please apply hot water to her calf and massage it with safflower oil.”

Lu Ze didn't expose Yu Yao, and said seriously, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I understand."

Feeling a little embarrassed by their concern, Yu Yao said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

On the way back, Yu Yao didn't say anything more. She rested on Lu Ze's back and fell asleep without realizing it.

That auntie never said that Yu Yao had to get up before dawn every day and didn't get home until dark, her feet barely touching the ground.

Lu Ze noticed her even, shallow breathing and deliberately slowed his pace to let her sleep more peacefully.

Lei Xiaojun and a group of kids from the compound were playing naked in the sand when they saw Lu Ze. They hurriedly ran over and said, "Uncle Lu, my dad asked if you're going on patrol later."

Lu Ze made a shushing gesture, "Yu Ayao is asleep. Tell your father that today, the patrol team from the Third Regiment is led by Company Commander Song."

Lei Xiaojun glanced at Yu Yao, who was sleeping soundly, and nodded while covering his mouth.

In the neighboring courtyard, Song Yufeng's mother came to take care of her. She was sitting in the courtyard sewing clothes for a little doll when she saw Commander Lu carrying Yu Yao into the house.

The old lady smiled broadly: "This little Yu is a lucky one."

Song Yufeng rubbed her waist and said gently, "Sister Yuyao also deserves Commander Lu's kindness to her."

Back in the room, Lu Ze removed the blanket, gently placed Yu Yao on the bed, helped her take off her shoes, covered her stomach and chest, and sat on the edge of the bed to massage her legs to help her relax.
