Zhou Zuizui rolled her eyes inwardly at the man who acted like a hooligan with a straight face.
She reached out and hooked her arm around Shen Nan's neck, gave him a look, leaned close to kiss his ear, and asked in a soft, ambiguous voice, "What do you think?"
Goblin.
Shen Nan gripped her slender waist and led her directly into the bedroom. The woman in his arms was incredibly alluring, her moist eyes staring intently at him, captivating his soul. She had already taken off her coat, leaving only a black off-the-shoulder top underneath, which contrasted beautifully with her snow-white skin, highlighting her delicate and attractive collarbones.
His eyes darkened, and he lowered his head to kiss her fiercely, his breathing heavy: "Go take a shower."
Zhou Zuizui: "......"
She paused for a moment, then turned to go to the bathroom. Suddenly, Shen Nan continued, "Don't get the wound wet."
"oh."
After Zhou Zuizui went into the bathroom, Shen Nan went into the kitchen, poured a glass of cold water, drank it, and after the impulse in his body dissipated a little, he took his phone and went to the balcony.
......
Shen Nan looked down at the message Zhou Ran had sent, pondered for a moment, and then called back.
"What did they say over there?"
Zhou Ran spoke in a cold voice, recounting the fight between Zhou Zuizui and the others: "Because it was my sister-in-law's side that started the fight, the other side is demanding compensation, and the losses at the bar are also being attributed to my sister-in-law's side."
"Is someone injured?"
Zhou Ran chuckled and said, "The bottle was smashed down, what do you think?"
Shen Nan: "......"
He sneered, "They brought it on themselves."
Zhou Ran said, "However, this is a family matter, and it should be reconcilable. It's no problem for me to put in a good word for you."
Shen Nan nodded and reminded him, "Don't let my parents know."
"learn."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Nan dialed another number.
When Zhou Zuizui came out of the shower, she saw her husband standing on the balcony, smoking with one hand in his pocket. His profile was stern, his jaw clenched, and he looked somewhat intimidating. He appeared quite serious.
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Nan glanced over, and after seeing her clothes, raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "All done washing?"
"Hmm." Zhou Zuizui looked at him: "Are you worried about something?"
After thinking for a moment, she looked at Shen Nan and belatedly began to worry.
"Will my fighting... have any impact on you?"
After all, they are military family members, and they need to set a good example in many things. There are many dangerous things they shouldn't do, let alone fight and end up in the police station, causing them trouble.
"No." Shen Nan lowered his eyelids and stared at her for a long while. He reached out and touched the wound on Zhou Zuizui's forehead with his finger, then unexpectedly lowered his head and kissed it, his voice hoarse as he asked, "Are you tired?"
"fine."
It's really okay, not that I'm very tired, but I can finally go to sleep.
Shen Nan smiled and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
"oh."
Shen Nan went to the bathroom, while Zhou Zuizui lay half-reclined on the bed, pondering. She sent a message to Xia Wen, asking about the situation.
I sent several messages, but only one message came back: I'm fine, we'll talk about the rest when we meet tomorrow.
Zhou Zuizui thought about it and also felt that she shouldn't ask too many questions and should give Xia Wen some space.
She was lost in thought when Shen Nan came out of the bathroom.
The two exchanged a glance, and Zhou Zuizui subconsciously shifted to one side. Shen Nan chuckled and glanced at her: "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
Zhou Zuizui choked for a moment, then subconsciously kicked him: "You know perfectly well why I'm asking this."
Shen Nan: "..."
He reached out and pulled the person into his arms, teasing them with a mischievous grin: "Wait for me?"
周醉醉忍无可忍的啧了声，想要揍人。
Shen Nan chuckled softly, his voice soothingly whispering in her ear as he coaxed his wife, who was about to explode in anger, "We won't do anything tonight, just sleep normally." He said gently, "I didn't marry you just to satisfy my physical needs."
He patted Zhou Zuizui's head, his eyes full of laughter: "I was just teasing you."
Although he really wanted to, after all, it was his wife in his arms, but Shen Nan still exercised restraint in such matters. He rushed back just to check if she was safe, not to sleep with her.
Zhou Zuizui hummed in response, but didn't say anything. Instead, she tightened her grip on Shen Nan's hand.
This couple isn't really a married couple; they're more like lovers in the throes of new love. Like couples who have just confessed their feelings for each other and have feelings for one another, they're not yet used to or familiar with each other's behavior. And since they've only been together for two days before separating again, it's only now that they've met again, and naturally... their emotions seem to show.
miss.
Previously, Zhou Zuizui thought this word was unlikely to apply to her.
She has always been a carefree person, as has Shen Nan, so they still need to work on and understand each other more.
He looked down at the woman in his arms and kissed her ear: "What have you been doing these past two days?"
Zhou Zuizui paused for a moment, then looked at the man's jawline under the light. His jawline was taut, broad, and handsome, instantly exuding masculinity. She reached out and touched it before saying, "I just met your mother for a meal, and spent two days with Xia Wen..."
She spoke succinctly, and then looked at Shen Nan: "And you, training?"
"Hmm." Shen Nan turned over and lay down next to her. "Just got back, and I've got a lot to do."
He can't come home every day yet, only on weekends, but he can leave in other special circumstances. Also, Shen Nan recently took on a new mission, which should allow him to stay home for a long time. However, the mission isn't fully confirmed yet, and he plans to tell Zhou Zuizui once it's finalized, giving her a surprise.
After chatting for a while and then being quiet, Shen Nan asked, "Is there anything you'd like to do this weekend?"
Zhou Zuizui was taken aback, and subconsciously looked up at Chen Nan: "You're going to take me out?"
Shen Nan: "..."
He glanced at his wife: "Don't you want to go out for a walk?"
"I want to," Zhou Zuizui choked up, a little embarrassed, "but Qiuqiu is arriving tomorrow night, and I was planning to have her stay at my house."
Shen Nan: "..."
This means that Shen Nan, who planned to go home, may have to stay at the team's residence.
Thinking about it, I felt a pang of sadness.
Looking at Shen Nan's expression, Zhou Zuizui chuckled and nestled in his arms, laughing, "I'm sorry, I should be able to spend time with you next weekend."
Shen Nan looked at the person laughing wildly in his arms, lowered his head and bit down hard: "Just tell me if you need my help."
"no problem."
That night, the couple, who had just begun to get to know each other and were able to communicate, fell asleep in each other's arms.
The following morning, Shen Nan left around 4 a.m.
After getting up, Zhou Zuizui went to the hotel to find Xia Wen. When she arrived at the hotel, Xia Wen's room was filled with smoke. As soon as she opened the door, Zhou Zuizui was choked by the smoke. She coughed and looked at Xia Wen, who had opened the door for her, and paused.
What time did you get up?
"Quite early."
Zhou Zuizui: "..."
Judging from the smell of smoke in the room, it must have been quite a while ago.
She was silent for a moment, then looked at Xia Wen: "Want some breakfast?"
"eat."
The two finished their breakfast in silence. Zhou Zuizui didn't ask what had happened; it was an unspoken agreement between them. If she asked once and the other didn't want to talk about it, she would never press the matter further, simply staying by their side until they felt like sharing their stories.
The sunlight outside the window was soft, and the two sat quietly by the window eating.
After breakfast, the two looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
Zhou Zuizui didn't urge him. She lowered her eyes and tidied up the mess on the table. Just as she was about to go out to throw it away, a voice suddenly came from across the table.
"Actually, I had already sensed it a long time ago."
Women aren't fools; their sixth sense and intuition are always sharp, especially when something is wrong with the people around them.
Xia Wen had actually sensed it long ago, but she just didn't want to believe it. She couldn't believe that the man she had stood by through thick and thin with, the one she had grown up with, would change his heart after achieving success. It was as if all the vows they had made in their youth had vanished in an instant.
Those youthful days, those hardships, all vanished in an instant.
Zhou Zuizui remained silent, simply watching Xia Wen quietly. Xia Wen's relationship with her husband hadn't gone smoothly; it was essentially a story of a wealthy heiress and a down-on-his-luck poor boy.
When the two first got together, it shocked everyone. Not only were others surprised, but even Zhou Zuizui was astonished. She felt that Xia Wen's husband was not a good match for her. Putting aside the fact that they were well-matched in terms of social status and other aspects, they were not compatible. In terms of personality, one was outgoing and the other was introverted and shy.
In short, she felt the two weren't a good match, but they ended up going to university together and getting married right after graduation. At that time, Zhou Zuizui's own life was a mess, so she didn't know much about it, only that the two were doing well. Xia Wen's husband had also started his own business after graduation, which was tough at first. For a while, they lived together in a basement for over a year. Back then, Zhou Zuizui was relatively well-off, and she always insisted on paying the bill when they went out. But after a while, Xia Wen became unhappy.
She was a very proud person. Even if she was broke, she didn't want to keep accepting help from her friends. Later, Zhou Zuizui would occasionally let Xia Wen pay the bill, but afterwards she would give Xia Wen some small things she needed from time to time.
Later, she married Shen Nan and moved to the ancient town, so she knew less about Xia Wen and her husband. That day at the bar was the first time she had seen them since she returned.
Xia Wen gave a wry smile, sat down on the sofa, hugged her knees, and looked at her, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
She had suspected it all along, but was willing to deceive herself.
Zhou Zuizui pursed her lips, remained silent for a while, and then said, "I didn't feel anything."
Women make foolish mistakes sometimes, especially when it comes to someone they once loved, or even someone they may still love now.
She looked at Xia Wen, reached out and pulled her onto the bed, and they both lay there staring at the ceiling. Zhou Zuizui asked softly, "So what do you plan to do now?"
Xia Wen shrugged: "Of course, we got a divorce."
She glanced at Zhou Zuizui, "Do you think I would continue to live with someone like that?"
Even if it's someone she loves, Xia Wen can't forgive them if they've cheated on her. She was deceiving herself before, but after witnessing it with her own eyes, she won't tolerate it.
"That's right." Zhou Zuizui patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Sister, you have everything you want, why are you afraid of not finding a second spring!"
Xia Wen nodded: "That's right!"
The two exchanged a smile, and as they smiled, Xia Wen began to cry. Zhou Zuizui glanced at her and offered her her shoulder: "Alright, let's go for a drink after you're done crying."
"Can."
In the time that followed, Xia Wen truly held Zhou Zuizui and cried her heart out, for her youth, for her marriage, and for her foolishness.
After crying, you must get up and keep looking forward.
Xia Wen is not someone who can be easily defeated.
On Shen Nan's side, just after finishing the morning training, Xiao Tong jogged over: "Captain!"
He had just finished training, his hat brim covering half his face, sweat still dripping from his forehead, sliding down his cheeks to his chin, and then disappearing into his clothes. Shen Nan reached out and took off his hat, walking alongside him, and gave a faint "hmm": "What?"
"Captain, what did you go out to do last night?" Xiao Tong asked curiously.
Last night, the team leader received a phone call and immediately ran off. He was so impulsive and agitated, as if something terrible had happened. For a while, everyone in the team was speculating whether something had happened to the team leader, and some even bet that it was because of a woman, but Xiao Tong didn't think so.
This person has never appeared by their captain's side, okay?
Shen Nan glanced at him, her expression cold and hard: "Curious?"
“Very much.” The little boy blinked and grinned foolishly.
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow, patted the child's head with his hat, and coldly reprimanded, "Since you're so curious, add five laps to your midday training."
Xiao Tong: "..."
He was just curious.
The two walked into the cafeteria. After a while, Gao Zhuo came over, put his hand on Shen Nan's shoulder, and whistled: "Captain Shen!"
Shen Nan didn't say a word, but slapped Gao Zhuo's hand away.
Gao Zhuo choked for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Want to have dinner together this weekend?"
He said, "The team is planning a get-together, want to come along?"
Most of them were single, so many in the group really looked forward to and enjoyed these kinds of social events. A bunch of grown men—even if nothing necessarily happens—it's nice to have a meal together with girls. It's also a chance to make more friends.
"I'm not going."
Gao Zhuo glanced at him and complained, "Why aren't you going? Mr. Chen, are you never planning to get married in this lifetime?"
He chattered on and on, saying a lot of things, "What's more, Dr. Chen is coming too, and so is that beautiful woman from the performing arts troupe." Gao Zhuo and Xiao Tong exchanged a glance and couldn't help but say, "Everyone knows that, right? The beautiful woman from the performing arts troupe has been thinking about you ever since you came home, Mr. Chen. This social event was organized by them, so you can't refuse to give them face, can you?"
In reality, Gao Zhuo wanted to persuade Shen Nan to participate, hoping that more girls in the performing arts troupe would be more willing to join. After all, even with Shen Nan's lifeless face, many young girls were still attracted to him.
Shen Nan paused, put his hands in his pockets, looked at the two of them, raised his eyebrows, and looked at them with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Bullshit, don't associate me with those women."
The two of them: "...Why?"
Shen Nan raised his eyebrows, looking smug: "My wife will get jealous!"
Author's Note: ChuiChui: I won't be jealous, go ahead and do it (death warning.jpg)
Mr. Shen: No, no, no, I'm not going.
ChuiChui: If you go, I'll go out and find some handsome guys!!!
