Chapter 842 A Selfish and Greedy Country Wife Accompanying the Army (6)
It wasn't until quite some time after they had driven off that Liang Nan finally came to his senses.
He hesitated to speak, but since Mu Zhou was still in the car, he could only hold back.
The car eventually stopped in front of the military guesthouse.
Cheng Lifeng booked a room, carried his bags to the room, and then got a kettle of hot water.
He arranged everything and gave instructions.
"Are you hungry? I'll go get some food."
Cheng Lifeng was also decisive and efficient; after making arrangements, he disappeared.
Mu Zhou was finally able to relax in this not-too-big-but-not-too-small guesthouse.
She washed her face, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep immediately.
On the other side, after Cheng Lifeng got out of the car, Liang Nantian was still waiting there.
He chased after her as soon as he saw her:
"Lifeng, what's going on? What do you mean, your wife? When did you get married? I didn't know that."
Cheng Lifeng strode forward, his tone calm:
"The marriage application was submitted last month."
"...So, when you were on the train..."
“We’ve never met before.”
In short, Liang Nantian could roughly guess what happened.
He was lost in thought, clicking his tongue twice.
"I never expected that you would get a wife so quietly. If word got out, all the young girls in the performing arts troupe would be heartbroken, and so would Doctor Lin..."
Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Cheng Lifeng gave him a look, and he immediately shut his mouth.
After a moment, he asked curiously again:
"So your wife isn't planning to leave this time? Is she going to join the military?"
Cheng Lifeng didn't even glance at him, and walked silently toward the cafeteria:
"do you have any opinion?"
"No, what objection could I possibly have? It's just... I thought you wouldn't agree."
Didn't he used to think that this kind of romantic relationship was the most troublesome thing?
Such a cold and ruthless person, suddenly changing his personality, Liang Nantian naturally found it strange.
Cheng Lifeng neither confirmed nor denied his questioning.
However, with Liang Nantian's big mouth around, the news that Cheng Lifeng's wife had come to accompany him to the military region quickly spread throughout the military area.
Meanwhile, Mu Zhou, who was fast asleep, was awakened by the knocking on the door.
When she opened her eyes, she saw an unfamiliar room and it took her a while to realize that she was in a guesthouse.
The knocking stopped, as if it knew she wasn't awake yet.
Actually, I didn't sleep for very long, but I felt a little dazed.
Mu Zhou blinked, and realizing who was outside the door, he quickly got up to open it.
Seeing Cheng Lifeng outside, Mu Zhou hurriedly apologized:
"Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep."
Cheng Lifeng stared at her somewhat messy hair.
Mu Zhou has long, shiny black hair, which she had previously braided and kept hidden under her cotton-padded jacket.
She had just taken a nap and unbraided her pigtails, letting them hang down on either side.
Like the finest silk, it curved in wavy lines and lay smoothly on her chest.
A few tufts of newly grown downy hair on its head stick out playfully.
Her little face was still rosy, but her big, dark pupils were extremely bright, shimmering with a watery light.
She only reached Cheng Lifeng's chest, so he always looked up at her.
Especially now, with a hint of unease between her brows, she looked particularly innocent and pitiful.
Cheng Lifeng looked away and nodded silently.
He finally said, "It's nothing."
He placed the lunchbox on the table.
The lunchbox has three layers: one layer contains braised pork with green beans, another layer contains stir-fried pork slices with chili peppers, and the third layer contains stir-fried vegetables with eggs.
Most of the dishes here were ones that Mu Zhou had never eaten before.
The food here is on the spicy side, and Cheng Lifeng only realized when he got to the cafeteria that he forgot to ask Mu Zhou if he could handle spicy food.
After picking and choosing, the only dish I found was braised pork with green beans, which wasn't spicy.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Mu Zhou say:
"I love spicy food the most, it's so appetizing."
Relieved, he took out a few more cakes from the bag and handed them to Mu Zhou.
"If you go too late, there will only be pancakes left."
This is a white flour pancake, fragrant and soft. Mu Zhou took it and took a bite, feeling that he could eat a whole one just like that.
She looked at Cheng Lifeng while holding the pancake:
“This pancake is delicious.”
"There's more here."
Cheng Lifeng didn't say much. After setting out his lunchbox, he quietly began to eat.
There were only two chairs in the guesthouse, so the two of them sat down side by side and ate quietly.
There looks like a lot of food, but Cheng Lifeng has a big appetite, so there definitely won't be any left over.
He deliberately slowed down his eating pace, and finished his meal after Mu Zhou had finished eating and put down his chopsticks.
Mu Zhou patted his belly and let out a comfortable sigh.
She ate three pancakes and a lot of meat.
I'm so happy.
After finishing his meal, Cheng Lifeng put away his lunchbox and naturally began talking about the future:
“I’m staying in the dormitory now, so it’s inconvenient for you to come. Stay here for now, and I’ll move to the military housing I’ve applied for.”
It took Mu Zhou a few seconds to process what he had done before he realized that he was actually willing to let her accompany him to the army.
I thought he would rent a place outside, give me some money, and let me fend for myself.
She was deeply moved and sincerely said, "You're so kind."
Cheng Lifeng completely forgot his previous plans.
He was indeed a little worried about Mu Zhou living alone outside.
Being targeted by human traffickers on a train shows that one is naive and unsuspecting.
If something happens while someone lives alone, they are still husband and wife, and he will have to take care of them.
It's easier to keep it under our noses.
He thought so.
Faced with Mu Zhou's sincere gratitude, he expressionlessly looked away and calmly wiped the table clean.
"If there's nothing else, you can rest now. I'll be going now."
Just as he was about to leave, Mu Zhou suddenly grabbed his wrist:
"I...I'd like to take a shower, is that alright?"
The guesthouse was just a small, cold room, and even simple cleaning was difficult.
Cheng Lifeng had obviously thought of these things as well, and he paused for a moment:
"Okay, I'll take you to the bathhouse now."
And so, Mu Zhou quickly packed a few changes of clothes and prepared to go to the bathhouse with Cheng Lifeng.
After registering at the gate, Mu Zhou stepped into the military compound for the first time.
They went to Cheng Lifeng's dormitory first, where Mu Zhou waited downstairs with clothes in his arms.
Cheng Lifeng has new toiletries in his dormitory, which are perfect for Mu Zhou to use.
It was already dark, and there were hardly any people in the dormitory area.
A short while later, the man's tall figure reappeared.
He was carrying a plastic basin containing towels, soap, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.
"The ones issued by the military were all unused."
Mu Zhou took it, whispered a thank you, and then followed him to the bathhouse.
Currently, most of the houses allocated to military personnel have separate toilets, and in the summer they take showers in their own yards.
But in winter, you still have to go to the public bathhouse to have a good bath.
There were quite a few people at the entrance of the bathhouse at this time.
The two attracted a lot of attention as soon as they appeared.
Cheng Lifeng was also a very famous figure in the military.
He fought bravely on the battlefield and was even commended in the newspaper. He was already a battalion commander in his early twenties.
Coupled with his handsome face, he has undoubtedly attracted countless admirers.
That is to say, he usually has a cold face, so not many young girls dare to approach him.
But today, he was with a little girl.
