Xia Anyan blushed even more at his words.
But considering that they are now a legally married couple, there's no need to be coy.
She reached out and took Gu Shen's hand, pulling him into the room.
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Shen's eyes, and he almost couldn't contain his joy.
"Yanyan, you..."
Xia Anyan made a shushing gesture, blushing, and said softly, "We are already husband and wife, so naturally we don't need to care about those things."
"Or is it that you don't want to?"
Gu Shen's head suddenly went blank.
He's a normal man; if his wife takes the initiative, how could he say no?
With a sweep of his large hand, he scooped the person up in his arms.
The dragon and phoenix candles burned all night, and the candle wax flowed all night...
The next morning, when Gu Shen got up, it was already quite late.
This was the first time he had gotten up so late since he joined the army.
Xia Anyan's face still has tear stains from last night's commotion.
Seeing her flushed face nestled in his arms, Gu Shen's face was full of tenderness.
He gently kissed her forehead before getting out of bed.
In the courtyard, eight people had already gotten up and were exercising.
Father Gu and Old Zhang practiced alongside him, while Grandpa Xia watched with amusement.
When Gu's mother came out of the kitchen, she saw her son coming over and said with a smile, "Perfect timing, I've made breakfast. Take it out and eat with everyone first."
"By the way, is Yan Yan still asleep? Don't rush to wake her. I saved some food for her and steamed an egg custard, which is keeping it warm in the pot."
Gu Shen nodded, his expression remaining cold and stern.
However, his reddened ears had already betrayed him.
As someone who's been through it all, how could Gu's mother not understand?
She covered her mouth and chuckled, "Alright, I know you two love each other, Mom understands."
"Hurry up and go, your grandpa and the others are still waiting. Your comrades got up early this morning to train, they're all very hardworking."
Hearing his mother's praise, Gu Shen didn't say anything.
When he was in the army, he had just returned from training and was preparing to have breakfast.
only……
Forget it, those guys are all bachelors, how can they compare to him?
Breakfast was just simple congee and side dishes. I ate meat yesterday, so eating something simple this morning felt quite comforting.
However, just as they were enjoying their meal, an uninvited guest arrived.
The person who came was the captain.
The captain was also carrying two bags of gifts.
The nylon rope bag was filled to the brim. Through the mesh, you could see the contents: all sorts of fruits, canned goods, and pastries.
The captain blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed and ashamed.
To be honest, his wife argued with him a lot when he got home last night.
At first, he didn't quite understand why his wife had brought him back.
As long as he keeps causing trouble, Gu Shen can't refuse him for the sake of the Xia family's reputation.
Anyway, let's get our son in first, and we can deal with the rest later.
But the commotion got so big that it woke up the eldest and second sons.
After the two women learned what had happened, they joined his wife in scolding him.
In the end, he realized that he had oversimplified things.
It turns out it was so dangerous.
"Uncle Xia, nephew-in-law, in-laws, I was wrong last night. I drank too much and talked nonsense. Today, my wife told me about what happened last night, and I really feel sorry, so I bought some things to apologize to you."
"To be honest, I've been under too much pressure lately and didn't think much about it, so... Anyway, I really did make a mistake, and I've come here sincerely to apologize. I hope you can accept it."
He also knew that these people were probably very dissatisfied with him.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Even a captain like him has humbled himself to apologize, so these people shouldn't refuse to give him face, right?
As the elder and the oldest person here, and the master of the place, Grandpa Xia is the one with the most authority to speak.
The old man, leaning on his cane, approached the captain step by step. With each step, it felt as if he were stomping heavily on someone's heart.
The captain's heart was pounding, as if it were about to jump out of his throat.
The old man snorted coldly: "It's good that you can think things through yesterday. Take the things back with you, our family doesn't need them. From now on, watch your words and actions, or you'll lose your position as the brigade leader."
"You can ignore what I'm saying, but I'm telling you all this for your own good." The old man slapped the brigade leader twice on the shoulder.
These two blows caused the captain's shoulder to tilt downwards.
He grimaced in pain, but didn't dare utter a single howl.
The old man is quite old, but he's very strong.
I don't know how this old man trained all these years, but he seems to be stronger than someone who is used to doing farm work.
"Uncle Xia, I really know I was wrong. I came here to apologize sincerely. Please accept the things." The captain pleaded desperately.
This was something his wife had repeatedly told him to send to the Xia family.
If he takes this thing back untouched, his wife will definitely go ballistic.
"I said no, and that's final. Are you deaf?" The old man glared at him angrily, then tapped his leg with his cane. "You're a grown man, and you can't even make a decision on something this simple? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Get lost! Can't you see we're all eating? Coming here so early in the morning, are you trying to freeload?"
These days, who would show up at someone's house while they're eating?
The captain's actions were indeed somewhat unethical, but he came genuinely to apologize and had no intention of freeloading.
But now that the old man has said that, the brigade leader feels that's not the case anymore.
Just as he was hesitating about what to do, Gu Shen also stood up.
"Captain, Grandpa is right. We don't need these things you sent. You should take them back."
"As for what you said last night, I will pretend I didn't hear it. If the battalion commander still wants to send his son to the army, then let's go through the proper procedures. I believe that as long as he has perseverance and willpower, there will definitely be no problem."
But whether he lives or dies after going in depends on his own fate.
Gu Shen had no intention of explaining so much to him.
The captain's heart skipped a beat.
It's over, it's really over.
He has completely offended people this time.
Seeing his tearful expression, no one felt sorry for him.
If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
When you were drunk and causing trouble here last night, you should have thought about what the consequences would be if you offended the Xia family.
