The sound of an accordion playing melodious music filled the hallway; the familiar tune was comforting and soothing.
Gu Shaoxuan saw Xia Enru sitting in front of the female soldier, playing the song she had sung the night before, through the window.
The female soldiers were in high spirits and sang songs together.
Beautiful music filled the room.
"Look, it's the chief of staff."
"Where?"
"He's peering at his sister-in-law through the glass doorway. He's smiling so brightly."
"That's right, I've never seen him so happy before. You know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He only has eyes for his sister-in-law Enruo, of course he's happy."
"The chief of staff is really two different people. He's always so cold to us, but I never expected him to be so adorable in front of his wife."
Xia Enruo stopped when she heard the whispering below.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Your sister-in-law is fine. It was the chief of staff who came to see you."
Xia Enruo turned her head and saw Gu Shaoxuan staring at her.
She got up, picked up her accordion, and went outside.
"Shaoxuan, is something the matter?"
Gu Shaoxuan walked in.
"How's it going? Are you getting the hang of it?"
The communications company commander stood up, saluted, and replied:
"Report, Chief of Staff. We are learning very well; your sister-in-law is teaching us very diligently."
"Let's call it a day for this morning, and practice again this afternoon. We shouldn't rush things during the Lunar New Year."
"oh......."
The female soldiers made a commotion, deliberately saying this to keep their sister-in-law from getting tired.
"Shaoxuan, I'm not tired. I can still teach."
“You’re not tired, but your comrades are. You can’t keep singing until your throat is dry. You can continue practicing this afternoon. You can’t rush things. I’ll take you for a walk around the military compound and give you a tour.”
Xia Enru put down her accordion and made an appointment with the female soldiers to start promptly at 2 p.m.
She followed Gu Shaoxuan and walked towards the playground.
"This is the office building, this is the drill ground and training rooms, over there is the shooting range, and further over there is the armored battalion's vehicle repair workshop..."
Although it was Xia Enruo's second time going to the troops, she only went between the auditorium and the guesthouse each time, and knew nothing about other places.
This was the first time that Gu Shaoxuan had led him on a tour.
Although the weather was a bit chilly during the Lunar New Year, I felt exceptionally relaxed.
As the training team marched towards them, they all saluted Gu Shaoxuan and greeted Xia Enruo, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Xia Enru greeted her generously in response.
"Shaoxuan, if you keep leading me like this, the entire unit will recognize me?"
Gu Shaoxuan walked ahead with a slight smile.
"I want the whole team to know that you, Xia Enruo, are my wife, Gu Shaoxuan's wife."
"Let's go back! This is too embarrassing."
A gust of cold wind blew, and Xia Enruo's loose scarf was blown to the poplar tree by the roadside. The scarf hung on the branch and flew high in the wind.
"Shaoxuan, my silk scarf!"
Xia Enruo covered her neck and shouted.
Where?
"It was blown by the wind onto a tree branch."
Xia Enruo pointed.
Gu Shaoxuan tried to jump up and hook onto the tree, but his height of over 1.8 meters made it futile in front of the tree.
"What should I do? I didn't expect the wind in the military compound to be so fierce. It's so strong that it almost got into my eyes."
"There are no obstructions around, and the wind is definitely much stronger in the suburbs than in the city. Just bear with it."
Xia Enruo looked at Gu Shaoxuan and saw that he had been trying for a long time but hadn't been able to get the scarf off, so she simply gave up.
"Shaoxuan, don't worry about it. It's just a silk scarf. We can buy another one when we get back to the city. If you keep doing this, your ears will freeze off."
Gu Shaoxuan glanced at her and waved.
"Enruo, come here!"
"What's wrong?"
Xia Enru asked as she walked.
“If you climb onto my shoulders, I’ll lift you up; the height will probably reach the silk scarf.”
Hearing Gu Shaoxuan's words, Xia Enruo was somewhat unwilling. With so many soldiers around, it was embarrassing to do this.
Gu Shaoxuan was, after all, a regimental officer. If word got out that his wife was riding on his head, it would definitely become a laughing stock among his comrades.
"Shaoxuan, we don't need this scarf anymore. If I ride on your head and others see it, they'll gossip about you, and your comrades will definitely make fun of it. That won't be good."
"Let's keep it; a silk scarf isn't worth much."
Xia Enruo gestured for him to just leave and not worry about it, lest people see him and make a fool of themselves.
Gu Shaoxuan felt that his wife was overthinking things, but she was only trying to help him and was afraid that he would lose face if the soldiers saw him. But what was shameful about keeping it from his wife?
Others want to memorize it but don't have it yet.
"Enruo, don't worry about it. Let them talk. I'm not afraid of people gossiping or making jokes about it. You're my wife, it's only natural for me to do this behind your back."
"Come on up, hurry up! The wind might blow the scarf away in a second."
Gu Shaoxuan squatted down on the ground and shouted.
Xia Enruo had no choice but to do as he said. She looked around and, finding no one else, climbed onto his neck.
Gu Shaoxuan stood up, grabbed Xia Enruo's legs, and slowly moved towards the tree branch.
Xia Enru thought to herself, "Luckily I changed into my green military uniform this morning, otherwise this method would definitely not have worked if I had been wearing my own cheongsam."
"A little more to the left, a little more to the left."
"Backwards, backwards."
"A little higher..."
Following his wife's instructions, Gu Shaoxuan moved slowly, afraid of making her fall.
