stunned.
Gao Zhuo stared at Zhou Zuizui in disbelief: "What did you say? You and our captain are... husband and wife?"
Zhou Zuizui nodded, and was about to answer when Shen Nan appeared from behind Gao Zhuo, grabbed his collar and pulled him back, asking seriously, "Is there a problem?"
Gao Zhuo: "…………"
This is seriously problematic!!
He looked at the two people standing side by side, staring at each other, and still couldn't believe it was real.
Yet, strangely enough, they looked incredibly well-matched standing together.
Holy crap! Why didn't he notice this before?! Why?!
He glared at Shen Nan, gritting his teeth, and asked angrily, "Captain, why didn't you tell me before?"
If I told myself that, there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings.
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow and glanced at him indifferently: "I thought you weren't that stupid."
But I never expected her to be so naive and innocent.
Gao Zhuo said angrily, "Don't make personal attacks!"
He looked at Shen Nan: "You deliberately didn't tell me."
Shen Nan snorted coldly, too lazy to argue with him: "Chen Ruifeng and the others have all figured it out."
The implication is that you are really too naive and innocent.
Gao Zhuo: "!! Then why didn't they tell me?"
"You're asking me?" Shen Nan countered.
Gao Zhuo: "…………"
He felt truly wronged, praising him for worrying so much here, and constantly trying to figure out how to subtly hint at Zhou Zuizui without embarrassing the captain. He looked up at the two of them, snorted, and turned to leave.
Zhou Zuizui: "..."
She watched Gao Zhuo's departing figure, both amused and exasperated: "Why did you talk to Gao Zhuo like that?"
Shen Nan chuckled, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, "I didn't expect him to get angry."
"Aren't you going to explain it clearly?"
Actually, the two of them felt there was no need to make a special explanation. Those who could see it would naturally see it, and those who had a clue would come and ask. For example, Chen Jing came and asked Zhou Zuizui if Shen Nan was her husband, and she frankly admitted it.
Chen Ruifeng, also puzzled, went to ask Shen Nan, something Zhou Zuizui knew. Because Chen Ruifeng's gaze towards her had been slightly off all afternoon, she figured he must have found out.
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly, "It's alright, I'll figure it out in a bit."
He said, "We can't stay this naive and innocent forever."
Zhou Zuizui was both amused and exasperated, glancing at Chen Nan: "You really are a bit wicked."
"You don't like it?" Shen Nan looked down at her with a smile.
"I like it," Zhou Zuizui said with a smile. "Women don't love men who aren't a little bad."
The two exchanged a smile, but in such a serious setting, they dared not do anything outrageous.
After standing together in silence for a while, Shen Nan said, "I'll introduce you to someone later."
Who is it?
"The battalion commander and the political commissar."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zuizui understood: "Okay."
She knew that these two people were very good to Shen Nan. Although they were Shen Nan's superiors, they had always taken good care of him and trusted him since he joined the team. This kind of affection was very, very important to them.
Shen Nan also had genuine respect and admiration for these two people.
Shen Nan and his classmates' dormitory.
Shen Nan has a separate room for rest, but he moved out because the area was undergoing simple renovations. After moving out, he got used to sleeping in the same dormitory as this group of people and kept putting off moving back.
Gao Zhuo and Xiao Tong and a few others lived together.
After returning to his dormitory in a huff, Gao Zhuo was still full of anger.
Xiao Tong glanced at him and asked, "Captain Gao, what's wrong?"
Gao Zhuo glared at Xiao Tong, his eyes filled with malice: "Xiao Tong! Do you know what the relationship is between Captain Chen and Zhou Zuizui?"
The child paused for a moment, then nodded: "I know, they're a married couple."
Gao Zhuo: "Why did you know all this, but keep it from me?!"
Xiao Tong: "I guessed it." He explained: "I saw Captain Chen's wife once in the ancient town before. Although I don't remember it very clearly, I looked around this morning and asked the captain. He said yes."
Gao Zhuo: "Then why was I the only one who didn't guess it?"
Chen Ruifeng walked by from behind and said casually, "That's why I say you're stupid."
He had said at noon that Gao Zhuo was stupid.
Their captain had never been so gentle or kind to a woman before, even offering to teach her target shooting—something that had never happened before. Previously, when the cultural troupe and a doctor from the military hospital came, they had also asked Shen Nan to teach them, but Shen Nan refused. Even though it was a task assigned by the battalion commander, he refused, directly sending Gao Zhuo and another soldier to teach instead. It was clear he didn't want to get close to strange women.
Even women who were interested in him remained unmoved by Shen Nan, showing remarkable cold-bloodedness.
Therefore, his attitude towards Zhou Zuizui was special. As a comrade-in-arms, he could see it at a glance. Chen Ruifeng naturally thought about Zhou Zuizui's identity. Only Gao Zhuo was stupid enough to think that the captain was going to have an affair...
After hearing Chen Ruifeng's comments, Gao Zhuo became completely withdrawn.
When Shen Nan returned from downstairs, this was the scene he saw.
He curled his lips into a sneer, kicked Gao Zhuo's leg, and said, "What are you doing?"
Gao Zhuo lifted his eyelids to look at him, then pulled the blanket over his head and mumbled, "Contemplating life."
Why is he so stupid?
Shen Nan choked up, giving him a disdainful look: "Have you figured it out yet?"
Gao Zhuo: "No, Captain Chen, I'm sorry."
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean, 'sorry'?"
Gao Zhuo took a deep breath and said listlessly, "You misunderstood that you were going to have an extramarital affair."
Shen Nan: "…………"
Unable to bear it any longer, he kicked Gao Zhuo hard: "Shut up! Remember to be observant in the future. If you make such a mistake again, I'll hold you responsible!"
"yes!"
The fact that the two were husband and wife and that they had kept it from Gao Zhuo is now a thing of the past.
Gao Zhuo wasn't the type to hold grudges, but he just couldn't understand why, despite his understanding of the captain and the long time they'd spent together, he'd been so naive as to think the captain was bullying someone instead of being kind to his wife. How could he have never doubted their relationship?
Why!
The tragedy of being single.
...
After having dinner and resting for a short while, the group regrouped on the playground to continue their evening training.
I'm so envious of evening training compared to daytime training. There's no scorching sun, no need to worry about getting a tan, and the tasks are much lighter—just a few laps of jogging and proper form, like standing at attention. Although standing straight is still tiring, it's really, really easy compared to the intensity of daytime training.
Indeed, people are capable of being satisfied.
After training, the group lay down on the playground to rest, and the evening breeze was very refreshing.
Not far away, soldiers were still training systematically, their voices full of energy, running laps with weights, their sweat soaking the ground, a sight that made one's blood boil.
"I really admire them. I heard they need to train this intensely every day."
"Yes, without this kind of training, how can we develop the ability to respond quickly and effectively when something happens? Soldiers are all-rounders."
"Chen Jing, didn't you see it before? Could you tell us more about it? We only read the news and newspapers back then, so we didn't feel it that deeply."
Chen Jing smiled and said, "As you can see now, as soon as an accident occurs, they will arrive at the scene immediately. Soldiers are trained to change their clothes, and it seems that they need to change in a certain number of seconds, get to the parade ground to assemble, and within a few minutes, everyone must get into the vehicle and arrive at the rescue site."
She said, "Firefighters can respond to an emergency call in a minute, so they're not very clear on this. We're going to be making a special issue later, so we can ask them questions. Remember to write these questions down."
"Okay, no problem."
"Remember to take photos during your day off tomorrow. Take lots of photos, and then we'll choose the best ones."
"Uh-huh."
The group gathered together and began assigning tasks.
Zhou Zuizui was someone who wrote articles, so after returning to her dormitory, she took out her notebook and pen and wrote down everything she felt on her first day here, as well as everything she saw.
Every scene, every smile and every drop of sweat on their faces, is exhilarating.
After finishing all this, Zhou Zuizui finally tidied up and rested.
Seeing Shen Nan in the team every day makes everything else unimportant.
The people in the dormitory didn't go to sleep right away that night. They had retrieved their phones after training, and now they were all lying in bed playing with them.
Zhou Zuizui looked at it, thought for a moment, and sent a message to Shen Nan: Have you finished your training?
It's already past ten o'clock.
Shen Nan: Just finished, are you asleep?
Zhou Zuizui: I'm lying in bed now, my back and waist are aching.
Shen Nan: Did you soak your feet?
Zhou Zuizui: No.
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow and looked at his roommates who were making a ruckus: "I'm going out for a bit."
Everyone immediately turned to look at him: "Where did Captain Chen go?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm going to find my wife."
"Yeah, Captain Chen finally gets to see his wife every day. If he doesn't see his wife, why would he see you?"
As he spoke, Gao Zhuo took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Shen Nan: "Captain Shen, this is the key the captain gave me. He said that the house you used to live in has been completely renovated, and you can go and live there now if you want."
Shen Nan glanced at them and chuckled, "Thanks."
As everyone watched, they started to jeer: "Captain Chen, hurry up and go, don't keep our sister-in-law waiting."
"Yes, yes, go quickly."
Shen Nan remained silent, rubbed his temples, and actually took his phone and keys and went out.
He looked down and texted Zhou Zuizui: Come out, put on some clothes, I'll take you somewhere.
Zhou Zuizui: Isn't this against the rules and regulations?
Shen Nan: It's not illegal. After the training, you will be my family member.
Zhou Zuizui looked at it and smiled, her lips curving upwards: Will you come back?
Shen Nan: I'm not coming back. I'll bring the clothes I need for tomorrow and head straight to the training ground.
The lights in their dorm room were still on. Zhou Zuizui thought for a moment and, without feeling embarrassed, explained the situation to her colleagues. The other three unsuspecting colleagues stared at her wide-eyed and exclaimed, "Holy crap, Captain Chen is your husband?"
"Yes." Zhou Zuizui smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you during the day, mainly because I didn't know how to say it, since he doesn't care about our training."
"It's alright, we understand the discipline in the military."
"Yes, yes, I have a question now... Can Captain Shen train us tomorrow?"
Zhou Zuizui exclaimed, "No way." She looked at her colleague and smiled, "Even during training, he won't hold back. He's probably even more ruthless than Captain Gao."
Everyone: "...Let's forget about it then."
They just wanted to relax a bit, so if it's going to be more intense, then they don't need it.
After saying hello, Zhou Zuizui packed her things and went out. As soon as she came out, she saw the man standing at the door waiting for her. The two looked at each other, and Shen Nan raised an eyebrow, looked at the things in her hands, took them from her, and chuckled softly, saying, "Let's go."
As night deepened, Zhou Zuizui stared blankly at the room before her.
"Did you apply for this on your own?"
“No,” Shen Nan said. “I used to live here, but after the walls were repainted, I moved here to live with everyone else.”
He turned his head to look at Zhou Zuizui and said with a smile, "Gao Zhuo and the others went to get the keys and came back."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zuizui blushed instantly, feeling a little embarrassed.
This is... way too embarrassing.
Shen Nan chuckled softly and kissed the corner of her lips: "Take a look around first. The house is very small, just one bedroom and one living room."
"good."
The house is really small, enough for one or two people. The room is also small and very basic, with just a bed and a wardrobe, not even a dressing table. Surprisingly, there is a TV and a dining table and sofa outside, but they are not very big.
It's opposite the bathroom and kitchen, over in the living room.
At that moment, Shen Nan was in the bathroom.
A short while later, Shen Nan came out carrying a basin and gestured for Zhou Zuizui to sit on the sofa.
"Soaking your feet?"
"Hmm." Shen Nan didn't say much, but all his words were expressed through his actions.
Zhou Zuizui watched and stopped him, saying, "No, I can do it myself." She looked at Chen Nan with her eyes crinkling and asked coquettishly, "Why don't you go take a shower first? I'm so sleepy, I'm going to bed soon."
Seeing her like this, Shen Nan tilted his head back and kissed her, then went to take a bath quite naturally.
That night, after soaking her feet and lying in bed, Shen Nan gave Zhou Zuizui a massage, which relaxed her body a lot, and she slept much more soundly. As he massaged her, she fell into a deep sleep.
Shen Nan chuckled, looking at the dark circles under her eyes, knowing that she was exhausted.
He lowered his head, leaned down and kissed her, then held the warm, soft body in his arms and fell asleep together.
The night deepened.
...
Over the next few days, the training became increasingly intense, and everyone suffered terribly. Yet they persevered. There was no particular reason; everyone else could endure it, and their training was only a small part of theirs, so why couldn't they?
Everyone held on with their last breath and persevered.
Zhou Zuizui also told her colleagues that soaking their feet every night would make them feel better, and they did so and felt much better, instead of being so tired that they couldn't walk the next day.
Time passed gradually, and by Friday, everyone had mostly settled in.
"By the way, do they train on weekends too?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Zuizui; as a military family member, she must know best.
Zhou Zuizui nodded: "You will have to do morning exercises, but not as intense as the training you've been doing these past few days. If you want to go home, you can submit a report and go back."
However, it seems that only people at Shen Nan's level can go back at any time, something Zhou Zuizui isn't entirely sure about.
"What about us?" someone sighed and asked, "We won't have to train this weekend, will we?"
"Let's ask Captain Gao and the others later."
"I heard..." Lin said again, "I heard that they are going to take us on a picnic and camping trip this weekend to welcome us."
"Really?" Instantly, everyone became interested: "Are we going tomorrow? Where are we camping? I've heard before that their camping is actually part of their training, but they're really good at it, they do an amazing job with camping."
"Want to give it a try?" someone asked.
"I think about it. Since we're already here, we might as well make the most of it."
"That's right."
A short while later, after Gao Zhuo arrived, everyone couldn't help but ask the question.
Gao Zhuo smiled faintly: "That depends on how your training goes this afternoon. If it goes well, we'll go camping tomorrow and stay overnight before coming back." He raised his chin and said, "You can tell Xiao Tong what you want to eat first, and we'll prepare it for everyone tomorrow."
Wow!! That's great!
"Okay, we'll definitely train hard this afternoon and finish as soon as possible!"
Gao Zhuo smiled and said, "Keep it up!"
The entire afternoon's training session was indeed as everyone had promised—active and proactive.
On Saturday morning, Shen Nan pulled Zhou Zuizui out of bed early, changed her clothes, and packed a large bag for her.
Zhou Zuizui looked at him sleepily and asked, "Do I need to memorize anything?"
Shen Nan chuckled and looked at her: "Just bring yourself with you and come with me."
Zhou Zuizui smiled and said, "Okay."
The two got ready and went out. They met at the door.
For this picnic and camping trip, Shen Nan only took a dozen or so people from his team with him, and all of them had submitted reports. Including the twelve people from his team, there were a total of more than twenty people going out together.
Are you driving there?
"I'm afraid you won't be able to walk, so I'll drive."
The group set off in high spirits, eagerly anticipating their camping trip. Zhou Zuizui was also looking forward to it; although she had gone out alone with Shen Nan many times, this was her first time doing it as a group with his comrades.
In the past few days, everyone has come to know that she is Shen Nan's wife, and they have all come over to greet her, which makes Zhou Zuizui both amused and exasperated, but also gives her a strange sense of pride.
She is Shen Nan's wife.
She is a role model wife for everyone.
She's the wife of a great hero, how wonderful.
Thinking about it, Zhou Zuizui silently curved her lips into a smile. Lin You, Chen Jing, and Xiao Tong, who were in their car, couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Zuizui exclaimed "Ah!" and turned her head to look outside: "I wasn't laughing at anything, I'm just a little excited because we're about to go out and have some fun."
Chen Jing chuckled: "Xiao Tong, are we cooking for ourselves outside this noon?"
"Yes, we're having grilled fish for lunch, and we're going fishing later."
"Okay, okay."
It was supposed to be fishing, but after arriving at our destination at noon, we ended up catching fish.
The car was parked at the foot of the mountain. The campsite they brought Zhou Zuizui and the others to was a hilltop, sparsely populated, and mostly frequented by adventurers. Shen Nan and his group had been there many times, and camped there as well. It was the closest to the training base, and a place they occasionally came to for wilderness training.
The group walked up the mountain, and by the time they reached the halfway point, it was already quite late.
So everyone packed up and got ready to start their picnic.
It has to be said that Shen Nan and his team are really well-planned and organized. Everyone has a division of labor and they cooperate perfectly. These twelve people are like giant babies who can't do anything.
After having lunch, the group climbed up again.
Is our goal the finish line?
"Of course not."
The child replied with a smile, "See that mountain over there? We're going to go over there for a training run."
Everyone: "No way, where will we sleep tonight?"
"Let's see where we can go," the child said. "That mountain is beautiful, and the scenery inside is also quite nice. We've explored the area before."
Zhou Zuizui glanced at Shen Nan to the side and asked softly, "Actually, you're staying here tonight, right?"
Shen Nan smiled: "Yes, we'll set up tents on the mountaintop; that area is more spacious."
He whispered, "The sunset is beautiful, and the sunrise tomorrow morning will be gorgeous too."
"Then I want to get up and see."
"good."
The two huddled together, whispering to each other. By five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone had finally reached the mountaintop, utterly exhausted. They were panting heavily, so tired they felt like they were about to collapse.
But after climbing up, a sense of pride welled up in everyone's hearts. They were really amazing to have managed to climb up.
"So beautiful."
"The scenery here is really beautiful."
"Wow, it's true that you can only see far when you stand high. It's so beautiful."
What should we eat tonight?
"We'll have barbecue and our army stew." Someone answered with a laugh, "Now let's assign tasks. There's a small river over there where we can wash vegetables and such. We carried some meat and vegetables up here, but if we want more, we'll have to find some in the mountains."
How do I find it?
"There are wild vegetables to eat, or there are animals to eat."
"For example?"
Gao Zhuo laughed: "Snake!"
Everyone was startled and instinctively shuddered.
Before long, the tasks and personnel were assigned.
Lin You and Chen Jing went with Xiao Tong and two other soldiers to find wild vegetables, while three other female colleagues washed the vegetables. The tasks for everyone else were also appropriately assigned. Finally, Zhou Zuizui looked at Chen Nan: "So what do I need to do?"
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow: "Come with me, let's go for a walk in the mountains."
Zhou Zuizui chuckled and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
The two turned and headed deeper into the mountains. Her hand was held tightly by Shen Nan the whole time. They walked slowly and deliberately, creating a unique atmosphere.
For some reason, with Shen Nan by her side, Zhou Zuizui wasn't afraid of these things at all. Even if a snake suddenly appeared, she probably believed that Shen Nan could handle it.
The two explored the mountains for a while, and Zhou Zuizui was pleasantly surprised to see a walking animal: "Chen Nan, a rabbit! There's a rabbit over there!"
Shen Nan turned his head, about to make a move, but was stopped by Zhou Zuizui.
"Never mind, just look at it. We brought enough meat today, didn't we?"
Shen Nan chuckled: "Maybe that's not enough. Let's take another look."
"good."
However, because they were carrying Zhou Zuizui, they had wasted a lot of time and didn't find any vegetables, but they did find some wild fruits in the mountains. They were edible and sour, and Zhou Zuizui ate two of them.
Back at the hotel, everyone was busy with their assigned tasks. Zhou Zuizui wanted to help, but was told to leave.
The excuse was that she and Captain Shen should enjoy this relaxing time together.
Zhou Zuizui looked up at the man standing on the slope and waved: "Chen Nan, come down for a moment."
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow and walked towards her. As soon as he got there, Zhou Zuizui chuckled and snuggled into his arms, saying, "Can you kiss me, Captain Shen?"
Captain Shen readily complied, and with the last rays of the setting sun, he kissed the woman he loved in his arms.
As the sun set, the light falling on the two of them left a faint afterglow, creating a breathtaking scene that evoked a unique feeling and thought.
Shen Nan lowered his head and kissed him. The two were a bit far apart from each other in the crowd, so they weren't worried about being seen by others.
Shen Nan lingered his tongue around hers, reluctant to part.
Although the two slept together this week, apart from the occasional two times when things got intimate, they slept peacefully without any inappropriate behavior. The main concern was her stamina and whether she would adapt well.
But at this moment, Shen Nan really couldn't hold back anymore.
At such a perfect time and with such a perfect opportunity, he couldn't resist grabbing the person in his arms and kissing them passionately, their kisses lingering and unforgettable.
After a long while, Shen Nan finally released Zhou Zuizui, whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice, "You're just deliberately tormenting me."
Zhou Zuizui felt the changes in his body and couldn't help but laugh.
