Ji Xia narrowed her eyes and thought about it. Her expression was always calm, but Qin Xiao's heart was hanging. An unfamiliar emotion called sadness surged in his heart.
If someone had ever said that he would be sad because of a woman, Qin Xiao would think that person was talking nonsense.
But now, this is the reality.
Ji Xia's every word and action would affect his emotions. She was so outstanding, so outstanding that even he looked up to her. How could he not be afraid of losing her?
"Because there will never be another person in this world who can tolerate me like you do." Ji Xia found the answer. She put her hand into Qin Xiao's collar and warmed her fingers with his neck.
Warmth wrapped around her fingertips, just as Qin Xiao used his heart and good temper to tolerate her sharpness, arrogance and ego.
She knows too well what kind of person she is. She does not have the softness of a woman, and even less the gentle temperament. Many people only see her outstanding abilities but fail to see the flaws in her character.
It is so difficult to find someone who can tolerate you.
Husband and wife live together for a lifetime, day and night, countless days and nights, and accompany each other for a long time. It would be a terrible thing if you cannot tolerate her shortcomings.
Although it wasn't the answer he wanted, Qin Xiao was very satisfied. He put Ji Xia on top of it and said, "Then you must remember, I am the only one in this world who can tolerate you. Apart from me, no one else will treat you this well."
Ji Xia hugged his neck tightly, his scent lingered around her nose, she felt very safe and satisfied, she said "hmm", and closed her eyes tiredly.
Qin Xiao returned home and gently placed Ji Xia on the kang.
It is warmer to sleep on a kang in winter.
Qin Xiao was worried that Ji Xia would be cold sleeping alone when he was not at home, so during the days when she was busy outside, Qin Xiao built a kang at home.
The night before, when the two of them were sleeping, Qin Xiao personally tested the strength of the kang and found it to be very resistant.
When Ji Xia was put down, she half woke up for a while. Knowing it was Qin Xiao, she just called out "Husband". Qin Xiao responded, and she fell asleep peacefully.
Qin Xiao sat aside and looked at her sleeping face for a while. She was a very selfish person, but when she was with him, she knew how to accommodate him.
She has so many secrets. If she doesn't have absolute trust in him, no matter what reason he gives, with her personality, she will never marry him.
In fact, this is enough!
After Qin Xiao figured it out, he stopped worrying about it. He just wanted her to be by his side.
He went to boil some hot water, washed Ji Xia's hands and face, washed her feet, and then washed himself. Then Qin Xiao got on the kang, hugged his wife in his arms, and closed his eyes.
The quilt was warm, and Qin Xiao held the soft body in his arms, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
The next morning, the wake-up call sounded, and Qin Xiao jumped up from the kang. Ji Xia was woken up and opened his eyes. He looked at the roof in confusion for a while, then remembered that he had a snow cross-country race with Gu Yanqi today.
She struggled to get up, quickly put on her clothes, and followed Qin Xiao out.
Qin Xiao held her hand, and the two of them quickly arrived at the starting point of the camp. Everyone was surprised to see Ji Xia coming over. When they asked, they found out that it was a competition between Ji Xia and Gu Yanqi.
"Sister-in-law, you can even beat Captain Qiu, so why do you still need to compete with Researcher Gu? He's a complete wimp in terms of military proficiency. He can't even beat me, so how can he beat you, sister-in-law?"
"Is there even a need for a competition? A few days ago, I saw Researcher Gu fall flat on his face in the snow. With the snow so thick, he couldn't even walk steadily. And how could he be doing a cross-country run with weights?"
"That's right, sister-in-law, it's really boring to compete with him. Besides, it's already so late, can Researcher Gu get up?"
Ji Xia's fighting ability was recognized by all officers and soldiers. There was no need to compare, Ji Xia was a winner in their eyes.
Ji Xia still pretended to be modest, "We'll know whether it works or not after a competition!"
"Sister-in-law is just too modest!"
"That's right, my sister-in-law's abilities are so rare in our army that few can match her."
Ji Xia felt embarrassed by the praise.
Standing in the snow doing nothing like this is the coldest thing. She stamped her feet, and Qin Xiao saw her breathing out, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes. He wanted to pull Gu Yanqi out and beat him up again.
His wife was left to freeze in the snow!
Qin Xiao called out to Zhang Tie, "You run fast, go and urge Researcher Gu. If he wants to compete, come over here quickly."
Zhang Tie trotted along at a brisk pace and returned in a short while. "Report to the Battalion Commander! Researcher Gu said he's sick and can't compete today. We'll compete with my sister-in-law another day!"
Yoho!
There were bursts of sighs in the army, and the voices of discussion became louder, all mocking Gu Yanqi.
Ji Xia waved at them, "Come on, everyone! I'll treat you to something delicious when I get back!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, remember to cheer us on!"
Qin Xiao was also going to lead a team to participate. Ji Xia was bored staying in the compound alone, so she planned to go back to Jijia Village. After Qin Xiao and the others left, she installed tracks on her Wrangler and drove back to Jijia Village.
Although every household was hibernating, they were not idle. Liang Yunyue and Chen Suhua were sitting on the kang doing needlework, one was sewing shoe soles and the other was stuffing cotton into cotton-padded clothes; on the other side, Chen Zhigang and Shang Zhikun were twisting straw ropes for the team, which would be used to tie rice and wheat next year.
Seeing Ji Xia coming back, the four of them ran out, "Xia Xia, why are you back?"
