Chapter 56 : Looks like a fairy concubine

Fortunately, Shen He didn’t stay long. He saw her take the clothes, then turned around and left.

Su Ranran, still feeling the warmth on her face, followed him out.

Shen He went into the kitchen, and Su Ranran headed straight to the shower room.

There was already a bucket of diluted water in the shower room. He had been the one preparing bathwater for her these past few days.

Su Ranran didn’t force herself to do heavy lifting.

After all, everyone’s physique is different. Some people can carry things without issue while pregnant, but for others, even a slight strain can result in a miscarriage.

She didn’t know what her body was like, so she didn’t push herself to do anything strenuous, planning to stick to lighter tasks.

The shower room was painted with white lime, inside and out, and it looked clean and tidy.

Su Ranran was quite satisfied with these conditions.

It was already August, and the weather was still sweltering.

After sitting in the car for such a long time, although she had wiped down her body on the train, Su Ranran still felt sticky and uncomfortable.

The water in the bucket was the perfect temperature, neither too hot nor too cold and it felt very comfortable on her skin.

She took out a piece of soap from her space and placed it directly on the shelf in the shower room.

Su Ranran didn’t intend to criticize herself for such small, unimportant things.

She wasn’t sure if the items in her space were made of special materials, but whether it was soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, or towels, everything felt incredibly pleasant to use.

The fragrance of the soap was a bit special. If she had to describe it, it was almost identical to her own body scent.

After washing, her skin felt moisturized and comfortable. Su Ranran liked it immediately after using it.

Since trying the daily necessities in her space, including soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and shampoo, she had used them whenever they could be privately utilized.

However, she didn’t leave these little things out in the open. After using them, she always put them back into the space, making sure no one would find anything unusual.

Su Ranran was taking her bath when suddenly, Shen He’s voice came from outside.

“I’ll go to the barracks to get food first.”

Hearing this, Su Ranran remembered the empty kitchen.

They had just arrived, and still needed to buy rice, flour, food, and condiments. For today, they could only go to the military canteen for their meals.

“Okay, go ahead.”

Su Ranran responded, continuing with her bath, unaware of how ambiguous the sound of splashing water was in the yard with only the two of them.

Shen He, smelling the faint warm fragrance in the air, felt his Adam’s apple move involuntarily.

After a pause, he turned and left. But before leaving, he closed the door behind him tightly.

The military camp wasn’t far from the family compound, and with Shen He’s long legs, he arrived quickly. As soon as he entered the camp, Shen He went straight to the canteen.

Though he was in a hurry, he still drew a lot of curious gazes.

Before entering the canteen, he ran into Commissary Chief Yan Yixing.

Seeing him, Yan Yixing’s face immediately broke into a teasing smile.

“I say, Old Shen, I heard from Old Cao that you married a fairy? No wonder you called me to find someone to pick her up before she even arrived.”

When it came to Shen He’s wife, everyone was extremely curious.

It was because no one had seen what she looked like after more than a year of marriage, and there wasn’t even a single photo.

No one could even get a single word out of him.

People are like this,  the more mysterious something is, the more curious they become. Now that the person who only existed in legends had appeared, how could they not be curious?

Shen He just smiled at their curiosity and didn’t say anything.

But looking at his gentle smile, Yan Yixing was stunned.

“Well, it seems that what Old Cao said is true.”

Who is Shen He? Who in the army doesn’t know him?

He’s a living devil  speaks little, doesn’t like to smile, and always has a serious expression. When has he ever smiled like that?

Let alone such an enchanting smile.

This made Yan Yixing even more curious about Shen He’s beloved wife.

“When can we meet your wife?”

“We’ll treat you on a rest day, and you can come and have a meal together.”

There was no mention of bringing his wife along.

Yan Yixing couldn’t help but smile wryly. But he didn’t take the initiative to bring his wife, after all, his wife had ruined other people’s banquets twice in a row.

Yan Yixing didn’t feel he could object. He was supposed to be someone who handled ideological work, but he couldn’t even manage his own wife. It was too embarrassing to talk about it to others.

“Okay, I’ll definitely go when the time comes.”

Yan Yixing said, patting Shen He on the shoulder before leaving the cafeteria.

Shen He didn’t stay long either, walking straight into the cafeteria.

But as soon as he entered, he drew a group of curious and envious gazes.

Today, the whole army was buzzing with the news that Deputy Commander Shen’s wife had come to accompany the army, and she looked like a fairy. Her skin was white and tender, her hair long and black, and her face was incredibly beautiful.

Yang Xuejun, a rough man, couldn’t think of any words to describe her. After a while, he could only utter, “Like a fairy concubine from heaven.”

Like a fairy concubine,  what did that even mean?

At first, everyone was still wondering whether what Yang Xuejun said was true. But then Wu Dingguo, who had helped carry furniture, went to the deputy head of the regiment and came back completely captivated.

Now, everyone was dying of curiosity.

What did the deputy head’s wife look like? Those who saw her were amazed. But they could only wonder. There was no chance to see the legendary fairy sister-in-law.

Unless she came to the barracks.

But would she be willing to come and see these rough men?

They weren’t belittling themselves,  no one in the whole regiment looked better than the deputy head of the regiment.

Didn’t you see how the girls in the art troupe couldn’t walk properly when they saw the deputy director?

But they only dared to think such things secretly. In reality, they didn’t even dare glance at him.

You see, the title of Shen He wasn’t given for nothing.

Shen He didn’t pay attention to the looks from the people in the cafeteria. He quickly packed two boxes of food and carried them out.

With his hurried steps, no one doubted that he wasn’t eager to get home and see his wife.

Shen He was indeed concerned about Su Ranran.

After all, it was her first day with the army, and he was worried she might not adapt, so he didn’t plan on wasting time outside.

As quickly as he arrived, he walked back to the family compound from the barracks.

But not long after he entered the door, he heard someone calling him.

“Shen He.”
