Chapter 176: I went to pick up my wife right after finishing my training
The three-day wedding leave ended quickly.
For Chen Zhaoyue, three days of wedding leave is more tiring than working 72 hours in the health center.
But these three days of vacation were too short for Wen Yanxi, and the time was not enough.
But Wen Yanxi did not forget his mission, so he could only hide the idea of being close to Chen Zhaoyue in his heart.
In the dim morning light, Chen Zhaoyue stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the collar of his shirt. His face in the mirror was rosy, and even his eyes were brighter than before.
"Yueyue, can we go now?" Wen Yanxi had been standing at the door without him noticing when. He was dressed in a straight military uniform with a smile on his lips.
Chen Zhaoyue's face flushed, and she turned around and put on her small bag: "You can go now!"
Wen Yanxi chuckled softly, strode over, and naturally took the kettle from her hand: "Let's go, Captain Wen's wife. If we're any later, the whole group will know that our Captain Wen was reluctant to leave the house on the third day of his wedding."
Chen Zhaoyue followed Wen Yanxi out the door, walking down the familiar path. She looked at the poplar trees lining the road, feeling a bit dazed. In just three days, her identity, her life, and even her future had been completely turned upside down.
Not long after walking, the sound of a sentry saluting brought Shen Zhaoyue back from her thoughts. She subconsciously straightened her back and caught a glimpse of the smile that flashed across Wen Yanxi's lips.
"Nervous?" Wen Yanxi held Shen Zhaoyue's water bottle and small shoulder bag in one hand, and naturally covered her hand with the other.
Shen Zhaoyue wanted to pull her hand back, but he gently held it: "Captain Wen, be careful of the impact."
"We're a legal couple, are there any consequences we should be aware of?" Wen Yanxi raised an eyebrow, but still let go of her hand. "I'll pick you up after get off work."
Wen Yanxi sent Chen Zhaoyue to the entrance of the health center. Chen Zhaoyue took the things in his hand and was about to say goodbye to him when she heard a familiar voice behind her: "Hey, isn't this our bride?"
The director of the health center, Gao Wen, and several nurses appeared from nowhere and surrounded us with smiles on their faces.
Gao Wen even went straight to Chen Zhaoyue and looked at her face carefully: "Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that marriage is the best skin care product. Our Zhaoyue is so radiant because of the nourishment of love!"
Chen Zhaoyue's ears burned with what he said, and he pushed her away in a serious tone: "President Gao, stop talking nonsense and get back to work."
As they walked into the clinic, laughing and joking, Gao Wen stubbornly grabbed Shen Zhaoyue's arm and said, "Tell me, how does Captain Wen treat you? Doesn't he, the cold-faced devil, also have a stern face in private?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Chen Zhaoyue stopped him softly, "it's not good if someone hears it."
"What are you afraid of? Everyone in the army knows that Commander Wen married our hospital's most beautiful girl," another young nurse interrupted. "Doctor Shen, you and Commander Wen are both so good-looking. I wonder how beautiful your future children will be!"
Chen Zhaoyue paused as he adjusted his white coat, his face heating up again: "We've only been married for a few days, there's no need to rush about having children."
Wen Yanxi's injury cannot be healed in a short time.
But after three days of getting along, she discovered that he was actually terrifyingly healthy in some aspects.
"They just got married, so I guess they still want to spend more time together!" Gao Wen concluded on her own and patted Chen Zhaoyue's shoulder, "Don't worry, we understand!"
Shen Zhaoyue opened his mouth, but finally just smiled and turned back to his work.
At the same time, on the training ground, Wen Yanxi was discovered by the sharp-eyed soldiers as soon as he appeared.
"The commander is here!" Someone shouted, and the soldiers who were doing morning exercises all looked over, with obvious curiosity and ridicule in their eyes.
Wen Yanxi walked to the front of the team without changing his expression, scanning the crowd with a sharp gaze: "What are you looking at? I haven't been here for only three days, and you don't recognize me?"
There was a slight commotion in the ranks, and finally a brave veteran spoke up with a playful smile: "Captain, getting married is so different! It's so joyful!"
Several soldiers couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that Yanxi didn't get angry immediately, another new recruit bravely joined in: "Captain, how do you feel about your wedding?"
Wen Yanxi's lips curled up slightly, a barely perceptible smile flashing across his eyes. "It seems like you guys are too idle to even bother caring about the leader's personal affairs?"
The soldiers immediately fell silent, but the curiosity in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Suddenly, Wen Yanxi unbuttoned his collar and shouted, "Everyone! Do an extra set of 400-meter steeplechase!"
There was a sudden cry of grief in the team, and everyone realized that even after getting married, Captain Wen was still the same Captain Wen!
"What? You're scared after three days of not training?" Wen Yanxi had already taken off his jacket, revealing the training shirt underneath. "I'll practice with you!"
The soldiers stared in amazement as Wen Yanxi really walked towards the starting point of the training ground. Only then did they react and follow him.
In the sunlight, Wen Yanxi's posture is still agile, but careful people will find that his movements are less fierce than before. Even when he was climbing over the high wall, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Captain, what's wrong?" A young soldier asked the veteran quietly during a break in training. "Is marriage really that magical? It doesn't seem so scary anymore."
The veteran narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Wen Yanxi, who was directing the movements, and lowered his voice, "You'll understand once you get married. But don't be too happy too soon. Captain Wen is just in a good mood, and he won't go easy on us when it comes to training!"
Sure enough, during the following training, Wen Yanxi was still very strict, requiring every movement to be performed to standard perfection. The difference was that he was more patient and less harsh.
As the sun set, the whistle signaled the end of the training. The soldiers collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, only to see Wen Yanxi still standing upright.
"We'll continue tomorrow." Wen Yanxi said this and strode towards the barracks. He quickly showered, changed into a neat military uniform, and carefully adjusted his collar in front of the mirror.
"Captain, where are you going in such a hurry?" the deputy captain jokingly asked, "You're thinking about seeing your wife right after get off work?"
Wen Yanxi raised an eyebrow: "Any opinions?"
"I dare not," the deputy leader waved his hands quickly, "I just never thought that our leader Wen would end up like this."
Wen Yanxi didn't say anything else, but his pace unconsciously quickened.
In the clinic, Chen Zhaoyue had just returned from the medicinal field in the backyard carrying a hoe and a shovel. While washing his hands, he heard a commotion outside.
"Captain Wen is here!" The young nurse rushed in, "Doctor Shen, your wife is here to pick you up!"
Chen Zhaoyue wiped his hands and walked out as calmly as possible. Sure enough, he saw Wen Yanxi standing at the end of the corridor. The setting sun shone in from the window behind him, giving his outline a golden edge.
Several young nurses winked and pushed Shen Zhaoyue: "Go quickly, don't let Captain Wen wait anxiously."
Chen Zhaoyue pretended to be calm and walked up to Wen Yanxi: "Why are you so early today? I thought you would have to wait a while before coming."
