Chapter 21

He Nanfeng had no idea how he got on the ferry. He just felt like his feet were walking on cotton, and his head was heavy and his feet were light.

“Woo woo woo~”

Accompanied by the low and long whistle, an ordinary, slightly old passenger ship slowly left the dock.

Compared with the huge and majestic military transport ship we took the day before yesterday, this passenger ship looked small and simple.

Today happens to be a common rest day, and many soldiers and their families went out together to the market to buy daily necessities.

As a result, the cabin was crowded with few empty seats.

He Nanfeng’s sharp eyes quickly swept across the entire cabin, finally locking onto the two seats in the corner.

He carefully held his fiancée’s hand and protected her through the crowded crowd to the corner.

Then, he asked his fiancée to sit in the safer and more comfortable seat inside, while he sat sideways on the slightly harder seat beside it.

At this moment, a surprised voice came from the front seat:

“Captain He, what a coincidence! Is this female comrade your fiancée?”

He Nanfeng looked over when he heard the sound and saw a middle-aged woman with a kind face and a friendly smile looking at them curiously.

He Nanfeng nodded politely and replied with a smile: “Yes, Sister Li, this is my fiancée, Su Wan.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Sister Li’s eyes, and she exclaimed sincerely:

“Oh my, Xiao He, you are so lucky, your fiancée is so beautiful!

Just now, when you two walked in together against the light, the scene was so beautiful that I was stunned!”

Hearing such praise from Shou Bai, Su Wan couldn’t help but lower her head shyly, with a faint blush on her cheeks.

He Nanfeng quickly came to the rescue of his fiancée and changed the subject:

“Sister Li, you’re so kind. By the way, why are you the only one out shopping today? Where’s Captain Wang?”

Sister Li sighed helplessly and said:

“Alas, my old man Wang is on duty this week and has no time to accompany me.”

He Nanfeng saw this and silently lit a candle for Captain Wang, but said comfortingly:

“Captain Wang is a very responsible and good comrade. I believe the organization will be able to see his outstanding performance and he will definitely be given a more important position in the future.”

Sister Li showed a gratified smile on her face and nodded repeatedly:

“Then I’ll take your good wishes! Okay, I won’t interrupt your sweet time with your fiancée.

When you have your wedding banquet someday, be sure to give a shout-out, and I, your sister-in-law, will bring the other military wives from the family compound to warm up your new home!”

He Nanfeng smiled gratefully and responded:

“Thank you, sister-in-law~”

Then the two ended their conversation.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the cabin, which was already a little crowded, became extremely subtle.

Whether it was He Nanfeng’s old comrades who had known each other for a long time, or the military wives who usually had little interaction with him, at this moment, without exception, they all focused their attention on Su Wan.

This woman has a pretty face, skin whiter than snow, and a pair of beautiful eyes as clear and moving as autumn water.

She was wearing a light blue dress with flowing sleeves, which made her temperament even more outstanding.

He Nanfeng beside him was imposing, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His handsome appearance revealed a sense of calmness and confidence.

“What a match made in heaven!”

I don’t know who was the first to express such emotion, and then people around him echoed him.

Indeed, it is rare to find an engaged couple as well-matched as they are, as if they were destined to be together.

Although the two of them were not sitting too close to each other, their innate tacit understanding and mutual attraction were like an invisible bond that tightly connected them together and could not be ignored.

However, the burning gazes of the crowd made the shy Su Wan feel uncomfortable.

She subconsciously lowered her eyes and fidgeted with the hem of her skirt with her hands, as if trying to hide herself in this small space.

He Nanfeng was keenly aware of his fiancée’s embarrassment. He turned slightly to the side and used his tall body to block part of Su Wan’s sight.

At the same time, his hawk-like eyes swept across Xi Zhou, with a hint of warning in his eyes:

This is my fiancée, so it’s fine for the lesbians to just look at her, but as for the gays, what’s so good about her!!

“Puff~”

There was a good-natured laugh in the cabin. People who knew He Nanfeng thought to themselves, why didn’t they realize before that little He was so childish?

Those who didn’t know He Nanfeng smiled awkwardly, thinking, isn’t it just taking a look at your fiancée?

Just one glance, why are you so fierce? What a stingy man!

Su Wan couldn’t help laughing. She was just pretending to be shy to avoid being pried into by others.

He Nanfeng is good, he has attracted the attention of outsiders?

Now that’s good, in the military district, there might be rumors that Captain He is a henpecked man spreading all over the place…

He Nanfeng doesn’t care what others say, as long as he doesn’t allow other gay men to look at his fiancée!

Fortunately, he got the political review results from Uncle Liu last night. With this, he can go to get the certificate today. Only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!

“Woo woo woo~”

As a low and melodious whistle sounded, the passenger ship slowly moved forward.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about twenty minutes, the passenger ship finally arrived at the port.

During the entire journey, Su Wanyi sat quietly in her seat, looking out the window at the distant sea view.

Although this was her first time taking a passenger ship, she did not feel any seasickness throughout the entire journey.

It seems that her physique is really good. She doesn’t get carsick or seasick. This is really a pleasant surprise!

When the passenger ship docked steadily at the shore, the crew quickly dropped anchor to secure the ship.

Immediately afterwards, the docking between the deck and the port was successfully completed, and the originally quiet scene instantly became noisy.

People began to get up and move around impatiently, and the flow of people surged like a tide.

However, He Nanfeng tightly protected his fiancée Su Wan, deliberately slowed down his pace, and fell behind the crowd.

He knew that in such a crowded environment, remaining calm and cautious was the only way to ensure safety.

“Follow me closely.”

He Nanfeng turned his head and whispered, his eyes full of concern.

“good.”

Su Wan nodded slightly in response, and at the same time gently held the hand that He Nanfeng extended.

At this moment, their fingers were only lightly intertwined, but the warmth and peace of mind they conveyed were so real.

In the eyes of outsiders, they look like a newlywed couple who are deeply in love, which makes people envy them.

Moreover, because their behavior was intimate but not overly ostentatious, others would at most think that they were in love, and it would not bring any adverse effects to their reputation.

What’s more, today is a special day for them——

They really came here specially to get their marriage certificate!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on He Nanfeng’s face involuntarily.

After stepping off the cruise ship, I saw that the Pearl Wharf was crowded with people and bustling with activity.

Various sounds interweave together to form a unique urban symphony.

However, He Nanfeng and Su Wan were not disturbed by the hustle and bustle. Instead, they cleverly avoided the crowded places and walked steadily along a relatively quiet road towards the marriage registration office…
