Zhou Chengmu inspected the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).
Xu Xinghe leaned against the door, one hand holding her rabbit fur shawl, making her figure appear even more slender, and smiled, "What a nice name. Is your Commander Jiang off training? What time does training usually end at noon?"
Zhou Chengmu didn't dare to look back at all. "If there are no accidents, we have to train every day. Commander Jiang finishes training at noon and it ends at five in the afternoon."
Just like his appearance, he was an honest and kind child. He explained things in such detail that she didn't need to ask any more questions.
Xu Xinghe took out a piece of fruit candy and put it in her water glass. "Where will Commander Jiang have lunch?"
"The canteen, we all eat in the canteen." Zhou Chengmu took out his tools. There was indeed a problem with the kang (heated brick bed), and it needed to be ventilated again, otherwise it would definitely be cold at night and not hot enough.
He was determined to get it done today.
"Where is the cafeteria? Can you take me there in a bit?"
“Okay.” Zhou Chengmu stood up, glanced quickly at Xu Xinghe, and then immediately looked away. “Miss Xu, could you please move aside? There might be some dust in a moment.”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you outside."
Xu Xinghe walked out of the courtyard.
Although the weather in Heilongjiang Province is very cold, it is only a few degrees above zero now.
But the sun was shining brightly, and it felt warmer on my skin.
She pulled her shawl tighter around her shoulders to ward off the cold wind.
The surrounding area is full of similar courtyards.
It houses military officers and their families.
At this time, many people come out to wash up and tidy up their houses.
The women on either side of her were military wives. When they saw Xu Xinghe, they simply nodded and greeted her before continuing with their own business.
However, their eyes would occasionally dart over.
The main reason is that this girl is so beautiful; just looking at her a few times makes me feel much better.
It lasted almost two hours.
Zhou Chengmu finally finished.
He took out a towel from his pocket, wet it with water, and wiped away the remaining dust on the kang (heated brick bed).
He never did this kind of thing before; he always left it to the homeowner.
But things are different now. People who are so delicate can't do such rough work.
She should just stand there and let men do all this for her.
"Miss Xu, it's all done."
Xu Xinghe nodded, her gaze falling on Zhou Chengmu's honey-colored skin. "Could you please take me to the training ground? If that's inconvenient, you can just take me to the cafeteria."
Zhou Chengmu hummed in agreement and led the way with a pursed lip.
Xu Xinghe gestured to show his height.
He's at least 1.85 meters tall, about the same height as Lian Xiao.
People from Northeast China are really tall and strong.
The drill ground is just ahead.
You can hear the training sounds even before you get close.
Zhou Chengmu stepped forward to report, "Commander Jiang, your heated kang (traditional Chinese bed) has passed inspection."
Jiang Linchuan turned around and immediately saw the person standing not far away.
Xu Xinghe wore a light blue cheongsam. Her skin was fair and her figure was slender. The soft rabbit fur on the cuffs and collar made her neck look thin, like a lotus root that had just been peeled.
The downy fur brushed against her cheeks, and she tilted her head slightly, revealing a pair of crescent-shaped eyes with bright black pupils.
She stood there, without making any big movements, yet she was so delicate that one wanted to protect her in the palm of one's hand.
Xu Xinghe grinned, "Jiang Linchuan, I've come to see you. Thank you for having someone turn on the heated kang (traditional Chinese bed), it definitely won't be cold tonight."
Jiang Linchuan didn't want to pay attention to her, but Xu Xinghe didn't care about that. Her long legs, clad in white stockings and high heels, strode forward and grabbed his shirt. "I'm talking to you."
He immediately pushed her away with his large hand.
Xu Xinghe was in a bad mood last night, and Jiang Linchuan was also preoccupied with his own thoughts, so he didn't notice the intimate actions between the two.
Not now.
In broad daylight, under the clear sky.
The hundreds of soldiers training ahead were all young and vigorous men.
Behind them were military spouses and other military dependents who passed by from time to time.
If people see this, who knows how they'll make up stories.
Even couples who are already dating can only walk side by side at most, and they have to be sneaky when holding hands, let alone hug each other from time to time like Xu Xinghe.
That's simply...shameless!
Xu Xinghe grabbed his shirt again, raising her face, "What are you doing? I'm your fiancée, can't I even touch you?"
The soldiers in training stared intently at them, their eyes shining.
"So this is Commander Jiang's fiancée, she's really beautiful!"
"What did I say last night? You still don't believe me!"
"I believe you! I thought you were just kidding me, but it's true! I never knew Commander Jiang had a fiancée. I almost thought he was gay!"
Jiang Linchuan unconsciously took a step, completely blocking Xu Xinghe's petite figure behind him, his voice icy, "Continue training. If anyone slacks off, double the weight!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately lowered their heads and continued training.
I dare not look, I dare not look.
They don't want to have to carry an even heavier burden!
Jiang Linchuan let Xu Xinghe tug at his hem and turned to walk out.
He took long, heavy steps, and the faint pull behind him felt like a thin cotton thread wrapped around the hem of his clothes.
He wanted to ignore it, but he kept hearing coquettish complaints from behind him.
"You're walking too fast!"
"Walk slowly."
"I wore heels today."
"ah--!"
The voice suddenly became panicked.
Immediately afterwards, a soft mass bumped against my side, carrying a faint fragrance.
He almost instinctively reached out and grabbed it, his palm touching the soft curve, his fingertips tightening abruptly.
Xu Xinghe thought she was going to fall. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have worn heels.
But what could she do? She loved beauty and wanted Jiang Linchuan to see her beautiful side.
But the expected pain did not occur. Instead, she was suddenly pulled in front of Jiang Linchuan by his large hand.
Jiang Linchuan abruptly released his grip, his eyebrows furrowed. "Xu Xinghe, how can you be so shameless?"
In public, she threw herself into his arms!
Even if she didn't do it on purpose, it's still unacceptable!
What if someone else sees this?
If I don't say something harsh, she'll probably fly to the moon!
Xu Xinghe wasn't angry at all. She knew that Jiang Linchuan was an old-fashioned person and definitely wouldn't be able to accept these things.
But it's okay, she'll let him get used to it.
Little by little, I reached out my hand, constantly testing his limits and pushing them to the limit.
Finally, he'll have no bottom line!
Jiang Linchuan was getting a little angry. Xu Xinghe stopped teasing him and finally let go of his hand, standing obediently. But her lips kept opening and closing, and the words she said were very infuriating: "Who told you to walk so fast? If you had walked slower, I wouldn't have fallen. You have no manners at all."
Jiang Linchuan clenched his fist: "..."
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have reached out in the first place.
She should have just fallen to the ground!
Xu Xinghe smiled and changed the subject, "Jiang Linchuan, I'm hungry. Since you're going to take care of me, you have to make sure I eat my fill. Let's go to the cafeteria. If we don't go, then I'll just have to throw myself into your arms, like you said. Anyway, you already said I'm shameless, so if I were shameless, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
