Chapter 4

“Then…then won’t these meat coupons become waste paper?”

Sheng Huan looked at the hostage in his hand and felt a little disappointed.

She was not depressed because she could not eat meat, but because she felt that the tickets she brought were of no use in South City.

“Then you should put them away. Go back and see if anyone in your group wants to go back to Beijing or Shanghai. Don’t waste these tickets.” She said to Shen Beichuan.

In this age of material scarcity, bills are precious resources.

I don’t know why the original owner brought sex tickets that cannot be used locally to Nancheng?

You have to be careful when putting it in your pocket, afraid of losing it, but it doesn’t matter if it’s too troublesome.

Could it be that she had no intention of staying here for long?

She subconsciously looked up at Shen Beichuan and happened to meet his gaze.

The two looked at each other, but Shen Beichuan quickly looked away and put away the bills on the table.

Finally, the three of them ordered three vegetarian dishes.

After dinner, we returned to the camp.

After dinner is a good time for a walk. The autumn night is cool and pleasant, and soldiers and their families are chatting and walking in groups of three or four in the barracks.

When everyone saw Qin Chaoyang carrying a lot of bags in a net bag, following Shen Beichuan and a strange woman, discussions broke out.

“Who is that beautiful lesbian?”

“You don’t know this! Captain Shen has been married for a long time!” An old lady said mysteriously, instantly attracting the attention of several family members nearby.

“Is this true? Didn’t he say he has always been single?” someone asked in confusion.

The aunt raised her chin with great pride, as if she knew some great secret: “That’s his wife!”

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened and they all turned their gazes to the woman walking side by side with Shen Beichuan – Sheng Huan.

At this moment, everyone realized that Captain Shen was married, and many female comrades were heartbroken.

Shen Beichuan received a call from Old Shen at short notice, and had no time to apply for a family room, so he still lived in the single apartment in the cadre building.

The apartment building is four stories high, with gray cement exterior walls, a simple design and almost no decoration.

In the corridor, several comrades and their families were chatting, and children were playing nearby.

When they saw the three of them walk in, all eyes were focused on Sheng Huan, full of curiosity.

Sheng Huan smiled generously and appropriately. He was not at all nervous in the face of these gazes and nodded politely.

Shen Beichuan introduced briefly: “This is my wife, Sheng Huan.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, especially those female comrades who usually had some “admiration” for Shen Beichuan, their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.

Captain Shen has always been a cold-faced tough guy, who would have thought that he already has a wife, and she is such a beautiful woman.

Sheng Huan was used to big scenes, and was not at all flustered by such attention.

She smiled gracefully and nodded to everyone with a graceful attitude.

Her confidence and calm temperament can’t help but leave a deep impression on people.

Shen Beichuan led Sheng Huan towards his dormitory with an expressionless face.

Several aunts in the corridor immediately began to whisper: “Look at Captain Shen’s wife, she has a really good temperament. No wonder Captain Shen looks down on other women in the camp.”

“That’s right. I heard that his family had arranged a marriage a long time ago, but I didn’t believe it. I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Just as they reached the door, a sharp voice suddenly came from behind them: “Captain Shen, this is your wife, she is like a fairy from heaven!”

The person who spoke was Aunt Liu, who was famous for being a good talker in the camp. She was standing at the end of the corridor holding a large bowl and looking at the two of them with a smile.

“I’m Aunt Liu, the captain’s wife.” Aunt Liu introduced herself in a loud voice.

Sheng Huan turned around, still smiling: “Aunt Liu, thank you for your praise. Please take care of me in the future.”

Aunt Liu sneered and said half-jokingly, “Oh my, I was wondering why Captain Shen looked down on the female comrades in the camp. It turns out that he already has a beautiful wife!”

Shen Beichuan’s face darkened slightly, and he was obviously a little impatient with these words.

He ignored Aunt Liu and whispered to Sheng Huan, “Go in.”

Sheng Huan followed Shen Beichuan into the dormitory, and once the door was closed, the excitement and gossip outside were instantly blocked out.

The interior layout of the house is simple and cool. The room is a standard single room with an area of about 15 square meters. It is simple and tidy.

The quilt on the bed was folded into a standard “tofu block”, and the sheets were flat as new, without any wrinkles.

In one corner of the room stood a desk with a few books, some files and a desk lamp on it.

Other than that, there was an old wardrobe and a few basic pieces of furniture.

Qin Chaoyang put the things in his hand on the table, smiled and said, “Then I won’t disturb my sister-in-law’s rest, I’ll leave first.” After saying that, he deliberately winked at Shen Beichuan, as if hinting at something.

Shen Beichuan ignored his teasing and responded calmly: “Leave the door open for me, I’ll go over and sleep later.”

Sheng Huan was stunned for a moment, and blinked his eyelashes. “What do you mean? You don’t want to sleep with me, but go with Qin Chaoyang? How will others see me? Huh?”

She didn’t have to share a bed with Shen Beichuan, but as a couple, he was going to sleep with his friends as soon as she arrived here?

Isn’t this a disguised way of telling others that their relationship is not good? She will definitely be the subject of talk in the camp in the future.

As soon as Sheng Huan finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet.

Shen Beichuan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at Qin Chaoyang, “You go back first.”

“Then should I leave the door open for you?”

“Need not.”

Qin Chaoyang smiled and left the room. Only Sheng Huan and Shen Beichuan were left in the room. They looked at each other for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

She is a 21st century woman who has never seen her fiancé, but she thinks the man in front of her, who has the same name and surname as her fiancé, is very handsome.

Strong shoulders, broad chest, tight waist and long legs.

Cold and rough handsome.

With a certain unattainable nobility.

It seems like it wouldn’t be bad to pick up a cheap husband for free.

Just as she was daydreaming, she didn’t notice the chilling aura emanating from him, and Shen Beichuan’s cold voice interrupted her thoughts:

“It’s been two years since you got married, and you’re just thinking about joining the army now? Isn’t it a little too late?”

“…” Sheng Huan choked, his eyes rolling, “I have a fear of marriage, and it took me some time to overcome it.”

Shen Beichuan stared at her, laughed very lightly, and said in an unclear tone: “Have you overcome it now? Do you want to live a good life with me?”

What does this mean? Why do I have a bad feeling?

Sheng Huan’s forehead twitched, and he subconsciously pushed the long hair on his cheek, “Well, I’ve figured it out. You’re a reliable man, and I won’t suffer any loss by following you.”

The man’s jaw was clenched, his features were sharp, and he didn’t look very happy.

No, no, no, that’s what he looks like!

From the first time she saw him, he always had a sullen face and was never happy.

How could his mother give birth to such an icy-faced child? Sheng Huan felt sad for Shen’s mother for three seconds in his heart.

Shen Beichuan still had a cold face, and his dark and deep black eyes swept across her face lightly.

“Don’t say anything more. As we agreed before, after Grandpa’s 60th birthday, I will file for divorce and give you freedom.”

“Also, you can live here during this period. It’s only a month anyway, so there’s no need to apply for family housing.”

“…” Sheng Huan was stunned. Why did Shen Beichuan’s man want to divorce her?

The 21st century, the 80s too.

It suddenly aroused her competitive spirit.

Her beautiful fox eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly set a bold flag with a spirit of not admitting defeat:

“I will definitely get you into bed within a month and make you reluctant to divorce me!”

As soon as the words fell, the air suddenly became dead silent.

Shen Beichuan’s eyes suddenly turned colder and his expression became serious.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a layer of ice between his eyebrows.

He was really angry, even colder than before.

Sheng Huan looked at his cold and handsome face and the charming smile on her face disappeared.

She was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but unexpectedly the man opened his thin lips and spoke in a low and cold voice: “Hairpin, which man gave it to you?”

Shen Beichuan regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his teeth, his eyes involuntarily fell on her face, his eyes were dark and unclear.

Sheng Huan looked into his deep black eyes, his eyes flashed, and without thinking much, he blurted out, “It was sent by the man who sold the ticket.”

When she bought the ticket, a hairpin was given as a gift, which was equivalent to a return ticket. She didn’t know where the original owner’s hairpin came from, but hers was given as a gift when she bought the ticket. Even if there was a discrepancy, she could make it up later.

The man’s expression suddenly became complicated, with obvious suspicion: “What ticket seller?”

Men? he asked men?

The woman’s head turned, her heart suddenly moved, and the scene at the station emerged in her mind.

Shen Beichuan asked her at the time if the hairpin was given to her by someone else, and she said yes without hesitation and said it was very important.

Is he…jealous?

The woman curved her red lips and said, “Hey… didn’t you just ask for a divorce? Why do you care whether it was a gift from a man or not?”

When Shen Beichuan saw the fox-like smile on Sheng Huan’s face, he seemed to realize something and suddenly retracted his gaze.

He explained with a blank expression, “I’m not interested in your affairs, I’m just asking casually.”

He spoke lightly, his eyelashes were thick and long like a barrier, blocking all the emotions in his eyes.

Sheng Huan looked at him and asked him about the hairpin. She was sure that this man’s heart was not as calm as he appeared.
