After a moment of silence, Su Ting decided to skip the topic and moved the fruit in her hand forward: "Do you want to eat?"

"Need not."

Su Ting said "oh" and withdrew her hand, feeling a little worried.

Based on the partial memories of He Dongchuan left by her original body and the description in the original novel, she thought that He Dongchuan was a cold person, but generally easy to talk to.

Now it seems that it is really cold, but whether it is easy to talk about remains to be verified.

So the question is, it is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage, and this is a short separation and a new marriage. He Dongchuan is back, so as not to ruin her character, should she act happy and ignore his indifference and say a few words of concern to him?

But as a beauty lover, Su Ting really couldn't be happy.

She felt that the time-travel god was really cruel to her. Others who traveled through time in books either became noble ladies in ancient times or heirs to hundreds of billions of fortunes in modern times. At the very least, they traveled through time in historical novels and became married women, and their husbands were most likely handsome men.

She was lucky enough to travel through time and space and become a stepmother, and her cheap husband had an unshaven beard.

Looking at the beard on his face, Su Ting really couldn't express her love. She could only give up and let her character be ruined. Anyway, no matter how smart He Dongchuan was, he would never imagine that she was a time traveler.

Who could have thought of that.

Even though she had read no less than a hundred novels about traveling through books, she had never imagined that such a terrible thing as traveling through books really existed in the world before this incident happened.

Thinking of this, Su Ting's waist suddenly stopped bending and her back straightened. She felt that she was fine again.

He Dongchuan had no idea what Su Ting was thinking, but he noticed the change in her expression, and he keenly discovered that his newlywed wife had changed a lot compared to before she went on the mission.

There are more little expressions.

He Dongchuan thought about it and reached out to take the fruit from her hand.

She seemed to be unable to react, and argued with him for a while, then lowered her head and said "Huh?" to express her doubt.

"I'll get it."

Su Ting reacted and let go of her hand: "Oh, thank you."

He Dongchuan said nothing more. He strode towards the family compound, carrying a military bag in one hand and some fruit in the other.

Su Ting turned around and looked at him from behind.

He was very tall, roughly estimated to be at least 1.80 meters tall, with a typical inverted triangle figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his legs were long and straight, wrapped in blue-gray military pants.

In fact, judging from He Yan's appearance, He Dongchuan should be pretty good-looking. Even if he can't be called handsome, he should have some regular facial features. It's a pity that he has a beard.

She prefers fair and delicate young men, and doesn't like the tough guy style with unshaven beard.

But she thought again, whether He Dongchuan was a young handsome guy or a tough guy, what did it matter to her? In the novel, the original character spent three years trying to warm his heart but failed. Could she still expect to make him fall in love with her at first sight?

Since she can't count on him, and the fact that he doesn't meet her aesthetic standards doesn't mean it would be more conducive for her to seal her heart and love him, and achieve the final ending?

Noticing that Su Ting hadn't caught up, He Dongchuan stopped, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"not!"

Su Ting reacted quickly and chased after him.

Su Ting was not the only one who failed to recognize He Dongchuan. The guard at the guard post also stopped him and asked his name before letting him in. Only residents were allowed in and out of the family compound. Even base soldiers had to register before being allowed in.

When they entered the family compound, the military wife sitting at the stone table did not recognize He Dongchuan. Seeing the two of them walking together, she stopped Su Ting and asked, "Who is that person next to you?"

At this point, Su Ting was finally sure that the fault for not recognizing He Dongchuan just now was not hers but his own. Otherwise, how could neither of them recognize him?

After confirming this, Su Ting straightened her back even more, pointed at He Dongchuan and said with a smile: "Xiao Yan's father, he is back from the mission."

Although He Dongchuan had lived in the family home for less than a month, many people wanted to introduce him to a partner, and many of them knew him and had even met his military wives before his remarriage.

Not to mention that the wives of soldiers who were sitting at the stone table were frequent visitors to the amusement park and came here to report almost every day. Before He Dongchuan went on a mission, he often met with them in the morning and evening, so everyone knew what he looked like before he went on a mission.

Everyone was surprised at this moment, and Chen Shaomei asked bluntly: "Captain He, how long have you not shaved your beard?"

Su Ting turned her head away, trying not to laugh.

He Dongchuan was silent for a moment and then said, "...I've been busy lately and haven't been able to pay attention to it."

…

It was only four o'clock in the afternoon. The men were all in the barracks, the children who were old enough were in school, and the women who had jobs were at work. The family compound was not very lively, but on the way home, I would occasionally run into people chatting outside.

Just like at the gate of the compound, these people were stunned when they saw He Dongchuan and asked Su Ting who he was. Some of them were sharp-eyed and recognized him after two or three glances, and then showed surprised expressions.

When they turned into the courtyard of Building 66, the above scene was repeated. Wang Lixia didn't know whether she was face-blind or something, but after Su Ting revealed He Dongchuan's identity, she said in disbelief: "Impossible, Captain He doesn't look like this at all."

Listening to her words, Su Ting couldn't help but feel embarrassed for others and turned to look at He Dongchuan.

He was very calm and said, "Sister-in-law, it's me."

Wang Lixia thought the voice sounded familiar, and the suspicion on her face faded a little. She looked at He Dongchuan carefully and exclaimed, "I was wondering why he looked so familiar. It turns out to be Captain He. When did you come back? Have you had lunch?"

Su Ting: “…”Okay.

He Dongchuan said: "We arrived in the morning and had lunch in the camp."

"Oh, that's great. Xiao Su doesn't have to work so hard anymore." Wang Lixia smiled, but felt it was a pity. She hoped that He Dongchuan would find out sooner that Su Ting was doing nothing at home and see her true colors.

But she didn't feel disappointed for too long. After all, if she missed lunch, she still had dinner. She deliberately said, "Xiao Su, congratulations to the battalion commander for coming back. You have to make him something delicious tonight to make up for it."

Su Ting thought that before He Dongchuan went on the mission, he had to find excuses to eat in the camp every day in order to avoid eating the food cooked by his original body. Now she is willing to cook for him, but will he be willing to eat it?

What annoyed Su Ting was not He Dongchuan, but Wang Lixia's bossy attitude. Those who knew her clearly thought she was talking to her neighbors, while those who didn't thought she was teaching her daughter-in-law how to behave.

No, her original mother-in-law and He Dongchuan's biological mother treated her much better than Wang Lixia did. At least they would not tell her what to do.

Su Ting laughed, ignored Wang Lixia, walked straight to the He family's door, took out the key and unlocked it.

Being ignored, Wang Lixia raised her eyebrows and said, "I am speaking seriously. Captain He must have had a hard time on this mission. He must not have eaten or slept well in the past half month. You are a wife, so you should be nice to her, right?"

He Dongchuan sensed something was wrong and said before Su Ting could speak: "I'm not picky, I can eat anything."

Su Ting swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and pushed the door open.

Wang Lixia curled her lips and said sourly: "Captain He, you really love your wife." She thought to herself, you say this now, but we'll know after dinner.

Suppress your unhappiness and wait for the show to begin.

…

After entering the house, He Dongchuan placed the fruit on the dining table and then walked into the master bedroom carrying the military bag containing his luggage.

The master bedroom has changed a lot since he left.

There were still the same three pieces of furniture: a bed, a wardrobe and a dressing table, but the double happiness patterned bed sheets and quilt covers had been removed and replaced with a light blue one with no special pattern.

The bed sheets and quilt covers with double happiness patterns were prepared by his mother for their wedding. Su Ting liked them very much and put them on the bed after arriving at Pingchuan Island. She never changed them until he went on a mission.

This set of light blue sheets and quilt covers was prepared for He Yan. There was also another set of light green sheets, which were spread on the bed in the second bedroom.

There were also a lot of new things on the dressing table. He Dongchuan looked up and recognized it as a pile of illustrated magazines. Next to the magazines were toothpaste and toothbrushes, and in the past there were vanishing cream and clam oil, as well as a few hair ties for girls and a headband.

Then there were two pieces of girls' clothes hanging on the shelf at the end of the bed.

As soon as Su Ting came out of the bathroom, she saw He Dongchuan standing at the door of the master bedroom. She hesitated and said, "Well...your things are all in the second bedroom."

He Dongchuan turned around and looked over.

Su Ting licked her lips and said unsurely, "Aren't you sleeping in the second bedroom with Xiao Yan at night? It's not very convenient to go back and forth between the two bedrooms. Fortunately, the wardrobe in the second bedroom is big, and there is enough space left to store your things. I took the time to pack all your luggage and move it to the second bedroom."

Although He Dongchuan and his original body were a real married couple, and they had lived under the same roof for nearly half a month before he went on a mission, they had always slept in separate rooms and there was no real relationship between them.

It's not that the original body was unwilling to sleep with He Dongchuan, but that he didn't want to touch her. He had made this clear to the original body before they got married, but the original body didn't believe it. She always felt that time would tell and she would be able to warm He Dongchuan's heart.

The two got their marriage certificate in their original hometown, then returned to the capital to stay for two days and picked up He Yan by the way.

During the period, the two slept in the same room, but nothing happened at night. When they arrived at Pingchuan Island, they directly moved to separate rooms.

The original body was not against separate rooms, but she firmly refused to agree to let He Dongchuan move his luggage into the second bedroom. She thought that as long as the clothes were there, He Dongchuan would always come to the master bedroom twice a day, and who knows, she might be able to seduce someone to stay.

Su Ting was not sure whether the original person's plan in the novel was successful, and the original person's extra story did not mention whether they slept together later.

But even if they slept with each other, Su Ting estimated that it would be useless. If they didn't love each other, they would still not love each other, and the resentful couple would still be a resentful couple.

Su Ting is not her original self. She has never longed for He Dongchuan's love, and she doesn't want to become his enemy. In the next three years, she hopes that they can just be roommates.

Three years later, if he survived, they would part ways amicably.

If he still died, she probably wouldn't be too sad. If she met a suitable man in the future, she might try to get married.

Now, what she had to do was to cut off all opportunities for ambiguity. Things like an adult man going in and out of her bedroom morning and night to look for clothes should not happen.

Therefore, a few days ago, while He Dongchuan was not back yet, Su Ting sorted out all his things in the master bedroom and piled them in the second bedroom.

The main reason why Su Ting chose to do this when he was not back was that she was afraid of complications. Although according to some memories left by her original body, he was not willing to run back and forth between the two bedrooms, but who knows what he will think after half a month.

If He Dongchuan really didn't want to sleep with her, and knew about this after he came back, he would probably be grateful for her understanding, right?

Su Ting smiled and looked up at the man standing at the door of the master bedroom. After hearing her words, the wrinkles between his brows deepened. She confronted him silently.

After an unknown amount of time, the man withdrew his gaze, said calmly, "I understand," and left the master bedroom and turned into the side room.
