Gu Jinghong turned his head and stammered.
"I...during a previous patrol, I heard a few soldiers discussing a deputy squad leader who might have hurt his wife during their wedding night. He...he hasn't been allowed into her bed since then."
Su Ying was confused. What... was going on?
She thought this was too funny, but then she put herself in the shoes of the newlywed wife and thought about it, it didn't seem so unreasonable.
"So, you're afraid that I won't let you into bed?"
Chief Gu couldn't admit this and quickly shook his head.
"Of course not. I just... wanted to give you some time to prepare. Plus, I've been so busy lately, I'm worried... you might not have enough energy."
Su Yingjian was speechless.
Well, after accompanying Chief Gu outside in the cold wind for such a long time, the heat in her body has all subsided. She is very sleepy now and just wants to sleep.
She grabbed the corner of Gu Jinghong's clothes and turned around.
"Go back to your room and sleep until you recover."
Although Gu Jinghong was using a crutch, he was very flexible and could follow Su Ying easily when she pulled him.
The two returned to the house. Su Ying separated the two quilts, gave the warmed one to Gu Jinghong, and covered herself with the slightly damp one.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep with her back to Gu Jinghong.
Gu Jinghong couldn't fall asleep at all. The person he loved was lying next to him, her even breathing was in his ears, and his nostrils were filled with the fragrance of her hair, and that long hair was right in front of him.
He couldn't help but grab a strand of it, put it between his nose and smelled it. It had the scent of shampoo and the unique smell of Su Ying.
Gu Jinghong put the strand of hair next to his cheek and slowly closed his eyes.
No words were spoken that night.
When Gu Jinghong got up the next day, although he tried to keep his voice down, he still woke Su Ying up.
"Are you going to work?"
Gu Jinghong quickly put on his sweater and bent down to kiss Su Ying's forehead.
"Well, did I wake you up? You should get some more sleep. You didn't get much sleep last night."
Su Ying shook her head and sat up.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the grocery store later. Your pillowcase is torn. I'll buy you a new one. Besides, there's not even a teacup for drinking water in this house. I want to buy two more pictures of pillows. Which one do you think looks better, the one with two little babies or the one with pillows?"
Gu Jinghong quickly put on his shoes and got down with the help of a cane.
"It's up to you. Buy whichever you like, or even both. This house will be deserted after the holiday, so there's nothing here. Buy whatever you need. If you don't have enough money, come back to me."
Su Ying rolled her eyes at him. It was only a little over ten dollars, how could it be spent so quickly?
There was nothing at home. Even if Su Ying wanted to make breakfast for Gu Jinghong, she couldn't. A good cook cannot cook without rice, so she really bought a lot of things when she went to the grocery store this time.
Gu Jinghong's team was busy resting, while he was discussing the experiences and lessons learned from the exercise with the leaders above. They were both very busy.
As a member of the Ministry of State Security, Zhang Su has finally returned to his original mission, which is to accompany Su Ying and protect her.
Therefore, when Su Ying bought things, she had someone to help her carry them. With Zhang Su by her side, no thief dared to approach her.
She bought a lot of daily necessities, including rice, flour, and oil. When she came back, she also bought a few green star-shaped bamboos, which she placed on the balcony to make the house look much brighter.
I also bought Gu Jinghong a set of autumn clothes, autumn pants and socks.
When Gu Jinghong returned home at noon, he smelled the fragrance of food as soon as he entered the yard. He was accompanied by a few people, all of whom were division commanders of a military region. Among them was the commander of the Fifth Division, which was the blue team and was opposing Gu Jinghong's division.
