Chapter 2

“Comrade Sheng, if you don’t leave now, do you want to spend the night at the station?” Shen Beichuan’s voice was cold but with a hint of teasing, and it rang in her ears.

Sheng Huan was called back to reality. He looked up and was slightly startled.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Shen Beichuan’s attitude seemed to have softened a little.

But that deep coldness made her feel even colder. Could it be that their relationship was not good? Why did they feel worse than strangers?

She was stunned for a moment, and after a moment she replied softly, “Yeah.”

Following behind him, Sheng Huan couldn’t help but look at the man in front of him. He was a soldier, had food connections, and good benefits…

“The Shen family…” The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.

The current situation in this other world is unclear, so she can only rely on Shen Beichuan temporarily, and she has to be polite to him.

She was at a loss, for except that this body had the same name as her, she knew nothing else.

She said in a soft and coquettish tone: “Shen Beichuan, walk slower, I can’t keep up.”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Beichuan’s pace did not slow down at all, but walked faster, as if he was stepping on a hot wheel and accelerating forward, obviously deliberately not waiting for her.

Sheng Huan rolled his eyes at his tall back.

This Shen Beichuan is really annoying, he doesn’t know how to be gentle and considerate to women at all.

But no matter what she thought, she couldn’t help but look at his back.

This man has an amazing body, with broad shoulders and well-defined muscles. Even when viewed from behind, he exudes a sense of great power.

With a wicked smile on her lips, she walked to the intersection nonchalantly, and saw from a distance that Shen Beichuan had already gotten into an SUV.

The car window was open, Shen Beichuan was holding a cigarette, his elbows casually resting on the window, his face looked silent and unfathomable in the smoke.

“Why are you walking so fast?” Sheng Huan glanced at him casually, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Shen Beichuan still had a cold face, his thin lips moved slightly, and he exhaled a puff of smoke, his dark eyes didn’t even glance at her.

However, Qin Chaoyang, who was in the passenger seat, saw her coming and quickly got out of the car and opened the door for her with a smile on his face.

Sheng Huan smiled at him and said softly, “What’s your name?”

“Qin Chaoyang, Qin as in Qin Shi Huang, Chaoyang as in rising sun.” He answered readily.

“Nice name.” Sheng Huan smiled and sat in the passenger seat.

Just as I fastened my seat belt, the off-road vehicle suddenly started up. The roar of the engine was deafening, and the car sped away like a wild horse.

Sheng Huan’s forehead almost hit the car window, and she grabbed the seat belt in shock. She turned her head and glared at Shen Beichuan, who had a stern face, with a look of astonishment on her face:

“Shen Beichuan, do you want to murder your wife?”

No, no, no, it’s not murder, it’s open!

This bastard Beichuan had been very cold to her since they met, as if she owed him tens of millions.

It seemed that he was quite dissatisfied with the original owner. Sheng Huan stared at him with his eyes narrowed, vowing to stare a thousand holes in him.

Shen Beichuan’s profile was tense, and the knuckles of his fingers gripping the steering wheel were white, and he was obviously suppressing his anger.

Qin Zhaoyang, who was sitting in the back seat, felt the tension between the two and quickly interrupted:

“Sister-in-law, I just arrived today. If you need any help, just let me know.”

Speaking of help, Sheng Huan thought that he could ask him to help carry the luggage later.

Only then did she realize that she hadn’t taken her luggage with her when she got off the train.

She blinked her big watery eyes, revealing a bit of innocence, and looked at Shen Beichuan, “Shen Beichuan, when you just pulled me, didn’t you pull my luggage?”

Hearing this, Shen Beichuan’s expression froze instantly, his face as black as ash at the bottom of a pot, how could this be blamed on him?

He remembered it very clearly. She had nothing in her hands at the time, so where did the luggage come from?

If he had known that she was so good at shirking responsibility, he should have let her get hit!

At that time, she was standing on the platform in a daze, watching a passerby carrying a basket about to bump into her, and he subconsciously reached out and held her in his arms.

He gritted his teeth and whispered, “Let’s go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it later.”

Sheng Huan’s eyes lit up, his face showed joy, and he said sweetly: “Officer Shen, you are so kind, thank you so much!”

When she smiled, her eyes sparkled and the corners of her eyes were slightly flushed, making her as beautiful as peach blossoms in March.

Shen Beichuan gently nudged his cheek with the tip of his tongue, looking straight ahead, and coldly did not respond.

Qin Chaoyang, who was sitting in the back seat, opened his mouth wide but didn’t utter a word.

Because he was so surprised!

The accusatory tone just now was full of grievance, as if she would burst into tears immediately if Boss Shen dared to say a negative word.

Now she’s speaking in a sweet and coquettish voice, how artificial!

Qin Chaoyang had been secretly observing Sheng Huan’s expression from behind, and he was full of admiration for this sister-in-law whom he had never met.

You have to know that he grew up with Shen Beichuan, and he has never seen any woman dare to act so pretentiously in front of him.

…

The car stopped on the side of a gray street.

Sheng Huan got off the car and looked up. He saw a row of two-story gray brick buildings. The big handwritten words “Supply and Marketing Cooperative” on the door were a little faded.

There are slogans painted on both sides of the wall, such as “grasp the revolution, promote production” and “serve the people”.

Shen Beichuan took out cloth coupons, cotton coupons, sugar coupons, and a few big unity coupons from his pocket and stuffed them all into her hands:

“You can go in and buy it yourself.”

“Are these enough?” Sheng Huan blinked his fox eyes, looked up at Shen Beichuan pitifully, and asked in a soft tone.

Shen Beichuan remained silent, glanced at her with cold eyes, turned to look at Qin Zhaoyang, and said, “Take out your ticket too.”

The corner of Qin Chaoyang’s mouth twitched fiercely. How could it be not enough?

However, under Shen Beichuan’s sharp gaze, he finally took out all the bills from his pocket reluctantly, with a look of reluctance on his face.

Sheng happily took the ticket, gave Shen Beichuan and the others a sweet smile, and turned around and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative without any guilt.

She loves shopping, and now that she has come to this parallel world that is different from the past, of course she wants to enjoy herself.

The employees of the supply and marketing cooperatives all wore blue liberation suits, with their work ID cards hanging on their chests and rubber shoes on their feet. Their hairstyles were either two braids or short hair to their shoulders.

The layout of the store is very simple. The walls are painted white. Shelves and counters divide the space into several areas, displaying goods such as grain, oil, daily necessities and fabrics.

The electric fan above my head was turning with a creaking sound.

Sheng Huan strolled around casually and felt that although the conditions were simple, they were better than having nothing.

She started to pick things out, while Shen Beichuan and Qin Chaoyang stood at the door waiting.

“Brother Chen, this sister-in-law came here suddenly, is there something wrong?” Qin Chaoyang stared at Sheng Huan’s back, his heart full of curiosity.

He heard that Sheng Huan sometimes stayed at the Shen family in Beijing and sometimes went back to his mother’s home in Shanghai. How come he suddenly came to South City?

Moreover, Shen Beichuan and his wife had been married for two years, but she had never come to Nancheng to see Shen Beichuan even for a single day.

You came so suddenly this time, is there something wrong?

He didn’t know Shen Beichuan’s wife, Sheng Huan, nor had he seen her. All he knew about her was through Shen Beichuan’s sister, Shen Xinxin.

Although he and Shen Beichuan grew up in the same compound, Shen Beichuan was a quiet man and rarely mentioned his wife.

Even among the people in the army, few knew that he was married.

The Sheng Huan I met today and the Wenwan sister-in-law that Xinxin mentioned were slightly different.

Qin Chaoyang felt that this Sheng Huan was not a particularly polite person, and she called Shen Beichuan from the Shen family and kicked him.

And it seems that she is too good at spending money. She takes forty or fifty yuan and so many tickets at once, and still complains that it is not enough.

Of course, it could also be because she grew up in a wealthy family and developed a habit of spending lavishly.

After all, Sheng Huan’s parents used to be wealthy capitalists in Shanghai. Later, she was sent down to the countryside for reform, and it was Shen’s father who found a way to bring her back to Beijing from the farm in the northwest.

The Shen family was in a difficult situation at that time, and it took a lot of effort for them to deal with her.

Since then, Sheng Huan has lived in Shen’s house from time to time, and it was at that time that Shen Lao Da was forced by Shen’s father to apply for marriage.

Logically speaking, Sheng Huan should be grateful and should have joined the army long ago, but she has not made any move and Shen Beichuan has never mentioned it.

In Qin Chaoyang’s eyes, Shen Beichuan got married because of his family’s resistance, and also to establish a married persona for himself to reject some leaders who wanted to match him up.
