Commander Gao's family compound is located on the east side of the military compound. It was one of the earliest family compounds built on the site of the former fishing tyrant's house.

It was about five or six meters away from the courtyard allocated to Aunt Meihua and her neighbors, and the place was spacious.

With a view of the sea in front of the courtyard and a mountain behind it, it is an excellent location according to feng shui principles.

"Mom and Dad, brother, Qiaoqiao, we're here. This is the courtyard that the army assigned to Lu Ze and me." Yu Yao unlocked the door with her key and invited everyone in.

Hu Lingyu looked around the courtyard curiously. "This courtyard is really nice; it's spacious and the scenery is beautiful. What do you think, mother-in-law?"

Wu Wanying and Cui Zhizhou also thought it was great. "There are plenty of rooms, so it will be convenient for me to come and take care of Yu Yao if she has a child in the future."

“My mother-in-law is right. Besides the master bedroom, there are four guest rooms. Even if we have several more children, there will be enough room. When Yu Yao gets pregnant, I will come over and help my mother-in-law take care of her.”

As they talked, the conversation turned to children. Fang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh and nudged Yu Yao, "We already have a house, so how far away can we be with children? How many children does our class monitor Yu plan to have? Let's make it clear that you have to call me godmother. I've already prepared the red envelopes."

Yu Yao glanced at her cousin and retorted, "Are you sure she's a godmother and not an aunt?"

Fang Qiaoqiao glanced at Wu Huaiqing, and Wu Huaiqing happened to look over as well.

The two women locked eyes, and Fang Qiaoqiao's face flushed red. She raised her chin and said, "Hmph, I want to be both your godmother and your aunt."

Yu Yao wasn't going to let her off so easily. "Brother, you heard it all. Qiaoqiao is so eager to be my child's aunt. You'd better step up your efforts and marry Qiaoqiao into the Wu family as soon as possible."

Wu Huaiqing looked tenderly at her younger sister and her boyfriend, and pushed up her glasses: "Okay."

Now Qiaoqiao felt embarrassed and tickled Yu Yao's skin, saying, "A Yao, you're so naughty! You just know how to laugh at me. I'll teach you to laugh at me."

The two of them wrestled and played around, and the yard became a different place.

The courtyard was kept very clean. Aunt Chen and the others only took their clothes and daily necessities. They left the larger items like tables, chairs, benches, and even the old-fashioned wooden bed from the original house.

Many of the pieces of furniture look quite old; they must have been there originally.

Yu Yao and the others hardly needed to unpack. They just needed to rearrange their belongings according to their own habits and lay out bedding before they could move in.

Hu Lingyu made a decision: "This saves me the trouble of staying at the guesthouse. Rather than wasting that money, I'll move in tonight. Lu Ze, could you help me move my bedding and luggage over in a bit? I'll stay in the guest room tonight."

Yu Yao nodded, "That's fine. The guesthouse is too far from the military base. We wouldn't feel comfortable letting you and Tianya stay there."

Hu Lingyu and Wu Wanying both love making clothes, and because Yu Yao and Lu Ze are very close, they became as good as sisters who hadn't seen each other for many years in just one afternoon.

At this moment, Hu Lingyu extended an invitation: "Mother-in-law, why don't you stay here tonight? I have a lot to talk about with you by candlelight."

Wu Wanying was also tempted. Since she was going to come over tomorrow to help Yu Yao move anyway, she might as well stay.

Cui Zhizhou saw through her thoughts and said, "If you want to stay, then stay. I have to go to the shipyard for my shift tonight, and Huaiqing isn't home, so I'm worried about leaving the house empty."

Wu Wanying nodded, "Alright, Sister Hu, I'll stay tonight too."

After dinner, Cui Zhizhou went to the shipyard for his shift, while Wu Huaiqing escorted Fang Qiaoqiao home.

Yu Yao and Lu Ze escorted Wu Wanying and Hu Lingyu to the new courtyard, and also moved some of the quilts and clothes that they wouldn't need for the time being into the new courtyard.

Before leaving, Yu Yao gave the yard key to her two mothers, saying, "Mom, remember to bring Tianya over for breakfast at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

Wu Wanying and Hu Lingyu nodded and stood at the gate to see Yu Yao and Lu Ze back.

Back home, Lu Ze boiled water and went to the bedroom to call Yu Yao: "Yao, the water's ready, go wash up first."

"I'm coming right away." Yu Yao went to get her pajamas, opened the wardrobe and saw that it was empty, and she had a bad feeling.

She remembered to leave the clothes and underwear for tomorrow, but forgot to leave the pajamas.

She washed her pajamas from yesterday, and now that she wants to take a shower, she finds she has nothing to wear.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ze asked.

Yu Yao sighed, "I forgot to leave my pajamas."

"Pajamas? Aren't there some in the bedside table?" Lu Ze pointed to where she kept the mystery gift.

Yu Yao was startled and asked urgently, "You opened it and looked at it?"

Oh no, I don't even know what kind of pajamas Mom sent. What if they're really scary?

Lu Ze was puzzled by her nervousness. "I accidentally saw it while I was packing. What's wrong?"

Seeing that his expression was normal, Yu Yao wondered if she had misunderstood and that the nightgown her mother had given her was the real thing.

So that's how it is. It scared her to death.

"It's nothing, I'm going to take a shower." Yu Yao opened the bedside table, grabbed the dress bag, and went to the kitchen.

There was a one-meter-tall wooden tub in the kitchen. Yu Yao reached out and touched the water. It was a little cold, so she poured in a ladle of hot water before taking off her clothes to take a bath.

The house is a bit small, and it's not very convenient to take a shower or anything like that.

Once we move to the new house, we can ask Lu Ze to build a bathroom behind the kitchen.

Yu Yao took off her clothes and casually threw them into the laundry tub to soak.

After taking a shower, she picked up the bag Hu Lingyu had given her, and her eyes widened the moment she saw the pajamas.

Everyone says that people are conservative in their thinking but open in their behavior these days, and I never thought it was true.

This isn't a nightgown, it's clearly a sexy... you know.

The piece of cloth in his hand—yes, it was cloth—was tied together at the top and bottom with only two thin red ropes.

The upper body is a front-fastening bra, and the lower body is a pair of small panties with bows tied on both sides.

The skirt has very little fabric, and it's a sheer fabric that reveals only glimpses of skin.

Yu Yao really didn't want to wear it, but she had washed all her clothes except for her coat, so she had no choice but to put it on reluctantly.

After getting dressed, Yu Yao glanced down at herself and was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look a second time. She quickly grabbed her coat and wrapped herself up from head to toe.

I could only console myself that at least I was wearing something, which was better than not wearing anything at all.

She herself didn't have the confidence to say that last sentence.

As Yu Yao opened the kitchen door, she shivered from the cold wind and ran to the bedroom in her slippers.

Upon entering the room, Lu Ze was making the bed. Yu Yao rushed over, threw off her quilt, and was about to crawl inside.

In his haste, his feet got tied up with Lu Ze's blanket, and he fell forward.

Just as she was about to fall and hit the headboard, she quickly reached out and grabbed the railing, but then she lost her grip on her coat.

Her coat came undone and slipped off her body, revealing large expanses of her snow-white skin on her back.

Lu Ze instinctively wanted to go over and help her, but when he saw this scene, he gasped for breath.
