Gu Shen returned two weeks after he left.
He returned in the middle of the night, looking travel-worn and even sporting stubble on his face.
The leaders originally planned for them to return the next day and stay overnight at the county guesthouse.
Anyway, no matter how much they spend at the guesthouse there, the military will reimburse them.
But Gu Shen insisted on being the maverick.
He claimed it was to save money for the military, but everyone knew he just missed his wife and wanted to come back to be with her as soon as possible.
He delegated the task of reporting the mission to his deputy regimental commander, while he himself went straight to the family compound.
He finally managed to marry a wife, but before they could even spend a few days together, he went out on a mission.
His wife is home alone now, and he wants to go back quickly and sleep with her in his arms.
"Father, there seems to be some noise outside." Zhang Jun'an's expression turned somewhat cold and stern. He got out of bed, his eyes like those of a venomous snake, staring intently at the direction of the courtyard.
Grandpa Xia also opened his eyes and looked outside.
Although there was moonlight outside, it was still pitch black, and you couldn't see anything at all.
Even so, the two still leaned their heads close to the window and, sure enough, saw a figure standing by the door.
"This is a military family compound, how could such a thing happen?" Old Master Xia frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Not only did he not understand, but even Zhang Junan couldn't figure it out.
Moreover, this has never happened before.
"Father, you rest in bed first, I'll go out and take a look."
Zhang Junan got up, dressed, and tiptoed outside, afraid of disturbing the people outside.
Even though he was very careful, he still alerted the people outside.
"who?"
"It's me."
The two spoke at almost the same time.
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Junan took two steps forward and then saw Gu Shen standing in the moonlight.
He looks a bit disheveled now, but even so, it can't hide his good looks.
Zhang Junan was overjoyed to see Gu Shen return, and his smile broadened considerably: "You've been gone for half a month, but you're finally back."
“Ayan has already rested. Why don’t you squeeze in with us tonight?” Zhang Jun’an pointed to the room he shared with Grandpa Xia.
Gu Shen scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, but still shook his head and refused: "Dad, I just got back and I smell bad. I'll just take a shower and then make do on the cot for the night. You should go back and rest, and also tell Grandpa not to worry."
"After this mission is over, I will have three days to rest. I don't need to get up early tomorrow morning. You and Grandpa can both get some rest."
Hearing Gu Shen say this, Zhang Jun'an understood his thoughts.
As men, who doesn't understand whom?
Although he wasn't married, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder, especially since this couple had only been married for a short time before separating.
Zhang Jun'an also wanted them to develop their relationship more, so when Gu Shen said he wouldn't join them, he didn't insist on inviting him.
She even told the old man after she got back that he absolutely shouldn't get up early the next day.
The old man was overjoyed when his grandson-in-law returned, and he couldn't sleep at night so he listened to the noise.
Zhang Junan sighed helplessly: "Dad, don't listen to that. Ah Shen is taking a bath outside. Ah Yan has been going to bed early lately and won't wake up in the middle of the night. What could she possibly be making?"
Grandpa Xia blushed deeply and immediately kicked him.
But this is in bed, so you can't exert much force.
But he was still furious: "You brat, now you're hitting your old man? You better shut your stinking mouth right now, or I'll grab your ear and give you a good scolding."
"Don't bother me. You can only stand up and talk to me again when you bring me a wife."
Zhang Junan knew the old man would definitely bring this up.
He let out a long, helpless sigh.
The old man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; it's too hard to fathom!
...
After a quick wash, Gu Shen tiptoed back to his room.
Although he told Zhang Junan that he would sleep on the cot outside, he couldn't bear to part with it.
He came back this time just to sleep with his wife. With his wife right under his nose, how could he not be anxious?
The door was pushed open, but Xia Anyan was not woken up. In fact, she slept even more soundly, smacking her lips, perhaps having a sweet dream.
Although it was nighttime, Gu Shen had excellent night vision.
Seeing Xia Anyan's appearance, he couldn't help but smile.
Once he felt warm, he quickly climbed into bed and pulled Xia Anyan into his arms.
Xia Anyan felt a pair of large hands holding her, but because of that familiar scent, she didn't struggle. She even found a comfortable spot to snuggle up and then fell asleep again.
Gu Shen was aroused by her, but looking at his sleeping wife in his arms, he didn't dare to move.
Gu Shen endured a difficult night without daring to close his eyes.
As the sky outside brightened slightly, he felt tired and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
The person in his arms stirred, and Gu Shen opened his eyes again.
Then, he met Xia Anyan's gaze.
Xia Anyan was still somewhat dazed and didn't come to her senses for a long time.
When she finally came to her senses and realized that the person in front of her was really Gu Shen, and not a dream, she threw herself into the man's arms.
"Gu Shen, you're finally back."
Her reaction really surprised Gu Shen.
But at the same time, I also felt very happy.
When they parted, neither of them had properly nurtured their relationship, and they thought that their return would only make them more estranged, but unexpectedly...
Gu Shen hugged her even tighter, greedily inhaling Xia Anyan's scent. His previously exhausted body felt much more comfortable.
"When did you get back? Why didn't you wake me up?" After hugging me for a while, Xia Anyan asked a couple of questions in a low voice.
Gu Shen smiled and recounted what had happened last night.
"I originally wanted to sleep on the cot outside, but I missed you so much that I sneaked in. Honey, you won't blame me, will you?" Gu Shen asked cautiously, his eyes revealing emotions that made people blush.
Xia Anyan lightly punched his chest, the force was weak and soft, making Gu Shen feel as if something was scratching his heart, itchy, and something wanted to well up.
"You must not have slept well all night. Hurry up and close your eyes and go to sleep. I'll get up and make breakfast." Xia Anyan said, trying to get up, but Gu Shen grabbed her.
"Wife, sleep with me."
