Chapter 68 You'd better listen to me obediently
Xia Mian's nerves tensed up immediately, and she was a little unsure how to be alone with Fu Yanshen.
"I'll take you back."
The man's voice was deep, and his eyes seemed to be sprinkled with tiny starlight.
Xia Mian nodded. "Thank you."
Fortunately, the guesthouse wasn't far from here, and we arrived after a short walk.
You can see two soldiers standing guard in front of the guesthouse from afar, and their green uniforms make you feel very reassured.
"Xia Mian." The man suddenly spoke, and Xia Mian looked at him. "What's wrong?"
"I received a lot of flowers tonight."
Fu Yanshen gazed intently at her, as if carefully observing her expression. "How do you feel?"
Xia Mian stared at him in astonishment. What could she possibly feel?
"So you can't see how good I am?" Fu Yanshen's eyes darkened as he interrupted her reciting her familiar stories.
Xia Mian's face froze, and her heart began to pound. "I...of course I can see it..."
Why did he suddenly start playing so straightforwardly?
"Then... grow up quickly." The man took her soft little hand in his large palm and held it firmly in his hand.
"I..." Xia Mian lowered her head, somewhat at a loss, her mind seemingly exploding with fireworks.
What is he saying?
Was Fu Yanshen just teasing her?
The high-ranking official, though seemingly in awe, had eyes for her, an orphan girl who had been driven from her home.
It still feels somewhat unbelievable.
Who is Fu Yanshen? The unattainable beauty of the military, a heartthrob for everyone. The object of desire for all the socialites and heiresses, the man that the female art troupe soldiers would love to throw themselves at.
Now he's saying, "Let her grow up faster?"
The man's eyes held a restrained expression as he pulled her slender waist into his arms. His thin lips parted slightly, and his husky voice whispered in her ear, "I can't wait any longer."
"Don't keep me waiting too long, okay?"
"I'll think about it," Xia Mian replied, somewhat at a loss.
I always felt that such a high chance, like winning the lottery, could never happen to me.
Fu Yanshen raised his hand and affectionately ruffled her hair, his eyes filled with a doting smile. "Okay, no rush, I'll wait for you."
Xia Mian stood in front of him, her face flushed, and said in a low voice, "I...I'm going back to rest!"
After saying that, she ran away like a panicked little rabbit.
Back in her room, her cheeks were still hot and burning.
The next morning, after Xia Mian got up, she habitually wanted to hear the sounds of drills.
She was a little puzzled. She glanced at Zhao Baoqi, who was still fast asleep, and then left the room.
However, they found the entire military camp quiet, with only a few soldiers on guard.
When Xia Mian arrived at the mess hall, everyone was actively preparing some food. She went over to help wash the vegetables.
I casually asked one of the military wives who was helping in the kitchen, "Sister, why is it so quiet today?"
"I don't know either, but this happens all the time. I guess he's on a mission," the military wife said dejectedly. "When I got up, my husband was gone."
"They left in the middle of the night," the mess hall sergeant said with a smile as he walked over. "It was an emergency mission, so it's normal. We didn't receive any notice that they were coming back, so today's lunch is just for the twenty or thirty soldiers who stayed behind to stand guard."
Xia Mian glanced at the blazing sun outside, but felt inexplicably worried.
The military camp remained quiet into the night, but fortunately Zhao Baoqi was quite noisy.
The twin brothers' facial injuries had healed considerably, and Zhao Baoqi invited them to play cards in his room.
Xia Mian didn't know why she was feeling so uneasy, so she didn't play and stayed to the side playing on her phone.
Then I heard Zhao Baoqi and the twins playing cards, having a great time.
The three siblings played until late at night before parting ways. Xia Mian checked the time and found that it was still quiet outside.
"Are they not coming back from their mission?"
Zhao Baoqi glanced at his phone. "I guess so. When my older brother goes on a mission, sometimes he won't be seen for ten days or half a month."
Two days later, the military wives who had come to visit their families began to leave one after another.
The twins are physically strong, and the injuries on their faces are minor superficial wounds that are no longer noticeable.
They decided to leave the military camp the next day.
Fu Yanshen seemed to have suddenly disappeared from her life.
As the weather turned cooler at night, Xia Mian became very familiar with the environment of the military camp.
Zhao Baoqi and the twins were playing cards again, while Xia Mian was still scrolling through her phone.
As time passed and night deepened, the chirping of insects outside the window could be heard from time to time, making the night exceptionally quiet.
Xia Mian poured herself a glass of water and then poured water for Zhao Baoqi and the other two as well.
Fu Yanchen's puppy-dog eyes sparkled. "Thank you, thank you."
Xia Mian smiled and said, "You're welcome."
She picked up her phone again and found a new message on WeChat.
It was actually sent by Fu Yanshen!
"Come to my office! Don't tell anyone!"
Xia Mian stared at the message in surprise, then glanced at Zhao Baoqi and the other two, and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
The three were arguing over who would be the landlord, and none of them noticed Xia Mian.
She opened the door to her room, went out into the hallway, walked through the tree-lined path, and finally arrived at Fu Yanshen's office without any obstacles.
She was about to raise her hand to knock on the door when it was suddenly pulled open from the inside.
Xia Mian was startled and met the man's deep, dark eyes. He was leaning against the doorway with a pained expression, one large hand pressed against his left abdomen.
His palm was bright red!
*Thud!* The sound was the dripping of blood onto the ground.
"Brother Fu! You're injured?" Xia Mian exclaimed, rushing into the room to support the tall man. "Where's the army doctor?"
"I'll go get help!" She instinctively rushed out to call for help!
But Fu Yanshen grabbed her hand, saying, "No! They can't know about this."
It was just a minor injury, but he didn't want everyone to know, lest it shake morale. This mission was already dangerous, and several of his brothers had been wounded.
If he gets injured again and it becomes known to everyone, including the political commissar, it will only cause them unnecessary worry and make everyone feel bad.
That's why he kept quiet and, after finishing the mission, immediately hid in his room and called Xia Mian over to help him.
Xia Mian bit her lip, helped him sit on the small sofa in the living room, and hurriedly asked him, "Do you have a first-aid kit here? Do you have any medicine? If not, I..."
“Yes, it’s on the second shelf of the cabinet,” Fu Yanshen said, pressing his hands against the wound on his abdomen. “The cabinet in the corner.”
Without saying a word, Xia Mian rushed over and found the medicine box inside. When she opened it, she found that it was quite complete.
All the necessary basic tools, gauze, and cotton wool are available.
She took out a small knife and looked at the man's handsome, pale face.
"Since you called me here, you have to obey me."
