Li Xia did not answer immediately, but slowly leaned close to Gu Weicheng's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Okay."

As she spoke, her breath sprayed on Gu Weicheng's ears.

It was itchy, like feathers vibrating against his chest.

The fragrance from her body penetrated into Gu Weicheng's nose, and he felt that in front of his eyes, at the tip of his nose, and by his ears, it was all Li Xia.

…

After Gu Weicheng finished taking a bath, Li Xia was still telling An An a bedtime story.

After telling the story, An An would ask Li Xia some questions, and Li Xia would answer them patiently.

Gu Weicheng was reading the newspaper distributed by the regiment, but Li Xia knew that his mind was not on the newspaper at all, because he held the newspaper upside down and no one noticed it for such a long time.

She wanted to remind him, but An An, who was about to go to bed, spoke first: "Dad, you hold the newspaper upside down, how can you read the words?"

Gu Weicheng: “…”

He pretended to be calm and said calmly, "Dad has been practicing reading words backwards recently, but the words on the newspaper are too small and it's really hard to see clearly."

"Do I have to practice this when I'm a soldier?" An An was puzzled. "Then when I know more words in the future, I'll practice reading them backwards."

Li Xia looked at Gu Weicheng, who was pretending to be calm, and An An, who was innocent, and smiled as she covered An An with a blanket: "Okay, go to sleep."

Gu Weicheng also said in his heart, my dear son, go to sleep quickly and don’t delay his work.

An An slept very well and fell asleep in less than ten minutes.

In the darkness, Li Xia felt Gu Weicheng's breath slowly approaching her.

His hand reached out first, touched Li Xia's slender hand, and stroked the back of her hand.

He has been training for many years and his hands are covered with thick calluses. Unlike Li Xia's hands, which are delicate and rough to the touch.

But because of this, wherever he touched, there was a tingling sensation.

Gu Weicheng seemed to be testing her reaction. Seeing that she did not object, the next moment, the man's fresh breath occasionally blew towards her face.

She was a little scared, but fortunately he was not only concerned with his own enjoyment, he buried his face in her neck and kissed her slowly.

"Li Xia..." He called her name emotionally in a low voice.

Li Xia responded to him: "Hmm..."

Just then, An An's voice came from the darkness: "Mom, I seem to hear a sound, is it a mouse?"

Li Xia and Gu Weicheng, who were mistaken for mice, did not dare to move. Li Xia reached out and patted An An's body, comforting her: "It's not a mouse, An An heard it wrong, go to sleep."

"Mom, I'm scared." An An said anxiously.

"Don't be afraid, mom will hold you in her arms when you sleep." Li Xia reached out and hugged An An.

Gu Weicheng moved to the other side of Li Xia, and now Li Xia was sleeping in the middle of the bed.

When An An fell asleep again, Li Xia also felt sleepy and fell asleep with An An.

Gu Weicheng listened to the gentle breathing of Li Xia and An An beside him and took a deep breath.

Next time, he will definitely take An An to the small room to sleep in advance!

While having dinner the next day, Li Xia met Gu Weicheng's slightly resentful eyes and bit her lip to hold back her laughter.

The man is unsatisfied.

But she herself didn't know when she went to bed last night, so she didn't stand him up on purpose.

"Okay, I will definitely satisfy you tonight." Li Xia took the opportunity when An An went to wash her hands and whispered in Gu Weicheng's ear.

The resentment in Gu Weicheng's eyes disappeared.

However, I was not satisfied tonight.

Because during the day when Li Xia was at work, she heard rumors about her being "unfaithful to her husband".

I don’t know who spread the news first, but in just one day, many people in the military region knew about it.

When several military dependents were getting their meals, they secretly pointed at Li Xia who was not far away and said, "The chef in the cafeteria, are you talking about the chef Li?"

"It's her. Who else could it be? The other chef is a man in his forties."

"I can't believe she's so pretty and so unfaithful to her husband, she actually cheated on me."

"You don't know this, right? The prettier a woman is, the harder it is to keep her. So when a man is looking for a wife, he can't just look at her face, he also has to consider her character."

"That's right."

Master Niu understood that these two people were gossiping about Li Xia.

He was so angry that he knocked the pot hard with his rice spoon: "What kind of shit are you spewing? You are so shameless to gossip about others behind their backs! Get out of here! I won't cook for people like you who gossip!"

Not only was Master Niu angry, the cafeteria staff were also furious when they found out.

The aunt in charge of washing vegetables said to Li Xia, "Xiao Li, don't listen to their nonsense. Don't we know what kind of person you are? They must be talking nonsense!"

"That's right. Captain Gu comes to pick up Xiao Li from get off work every day. They have a very good relationship. How could there be such nonsense as you mentioned?"

Although someone stood up for him, this was Li Xia's own business and he couldn't just say nothing.

Li Xia stood up, looked at the women who were gossiping about her, and said coldly:

"It is true that a man should not only look at the face when looking for a wife, but also look at the character. Whether my character is good or not is not to be discussed for now, but you two who gossip about others behind their backs must have bad character.

Do you men know that you gossip about others behind their backs? If not, do you think they will feel that they have married a gossipy woman?

If I knew and still didn't discipline them, it would be a great dereliction of duty. As a soldier, I can't even take care of my own family members. I actually let you slander me, a soldier's family member. I have to ask their leaders how they usually educate them! "
