Chapter 66 : What if someone sees me?

The person who called out to her was her mother’s student, Qi Xiunian, who used to visit their house often.

After he graduated, Su Ranran never heard from him again until she went to college in her previous life. Thinking of the ambiguous things he had said to her before graduation, Su Ranran felt a headache.

Outside the car, Qi Xiunian was still looking at her eagerly, while behind her, Shen He’s gaze made her heart tremble.

Caught between them, Su Ranran felt like she was caught in both water and fire. But she quickly composed herself and decided to respond to her husband first.

“My mother’s student, I don’t know him very well.”

Then she turned to Qi Xiunian outside the car “I came to Pingzhou Island with the army, and now I’m going to the county with my husband to buy some things.”

The distinction between “husband” and “man” successfully reassured the man behind her, but it also made Qi Xiunian’s face change.

His usually gentle expression suddenly turned pale, his eyes filled with disbelief. He looked at her as though he couldn’t understand what she meant.

Shen He, being tall, could still clearly see the man’s reaction even though he was sitting next to Su Ranran.

As a man, how could he not know what that expression meant?

Her mother is a professor, and her students would often visit their home…

From the man’s reaction, it was clear he must have visited Su Ranran’s house more than once.

It could be said that if Su Ranran hadn’t gone to the countryside to join the production team, the two of them would most likely be married by now.

“Ranran, you’re joking, right? Does the teacher know?” Qi Xiunian stared at her intently, his eyes filled with longing that was hard to ignore.

It was as if he was hoping she would tell him it was just a joke in the next second. But the response came from a male voice that Qi Xiunian had never heard before.

“My mother-in-law knows, and she has no objections.”

Just a short sentence, but it left Qi Xiunian slightly shaken. He couldn’t understand why she was already married when he was just about to express his feelings.

No wonder she hasn’t replied to me…

“Mr. Qi, are you okay?”

The person who had been with him on the boat saw his pale face and hurried to support him.

Su Ranran, still in the car, saw the expression on his face, as though he had lost his lover, and felt helpless, as if she couldn’t explain even if she tried.

Even though she didn’t look back, she could feel the intense gaze of the man beside her. Fortunately, the boat docked just then. As soon as it stopped, the military vehicle drove directly to the dock. Through the car window, Su Ranran could still feel the reluctant and pained eyes following them.

The eyes of the man beside her darkened further, and Su Ranran stiffened all over.

She wanted to explain, but when she saw the two young soldiers in front of her with their ears perked up, she had no choice but to hold back her words.

Meng Shun hadn’t expected such shocking gossip while just out for a purchase!

What is the relationship between that man and his sister-in-law?

But after sensing the chill in the car, he quickly suppressed his curiosity.

I just want to disappear, how could I dare think about it?

In this awkward atmosphere, the car drove all the way to the county.

As soon as the car stopped, Shen He jumped out first, not waiting for the others to open the door. Then, he extended his hand to Su Ranran in the car.

Su Ranran had already moved to the door. Seeing that his face had regained its calm, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, she turned her back and prepared to climb down from the truck. But as soon as she stretched out one foot, she felt a pair of big hands on her waist.

Before she could react, the next second, she was carried out of the car.

Su Ranran:…

She looked left and right subconsciously and found that there was no one else nearby, so she breathed a sigh of relief. But her watery eyes couldn’t help but glare at the man. He was too bold. What if someone had seen them?

Facing her playful little face, Shen He’s heart, which had been in turmoil, also relaxed a little.

“Let’s go, let’s go to the hospital first, and then go buy vegetables.”

No matter what happened in the past, she is now his wife!

Hearing this, Su Ranran had no objection.

The baby in her belly was about to be 12 weeks old, so it would be reassuring to check on it. It wasn’t until they left that Chen Weidong couldn’t help but reach out and wipe his sweat!

It was really scary just now!

He had only come to buy some things and didn’t want to know any gossip about the deputy commander (not really). Or, he just didn’t have the courage to gossip about him.

When he thought about the grueling training, he couldn’t help but tremble all over.

When Meng Shun saw his expression, how could he not know what he was thinking? He immediately suppressed those messy thoughts.

The two of them walked toward the vegetable station with stiff bodies.

The county town here was not very large, with only basic functional buildings.

But to her surprise, there was a hospital here!

Su Ranran was a little surprised to see the military hospital standing in front of her. She hadn’t expected there to be a military hospital in a county town. 

Could it be because the level of the troops stationed here was relatively high?

After all, having a regiment-level garrison in a county is a big deal, but there’s actually a division-level garrison here. But when she thought of the special geographical location of Lianning County and Pingzhou, she realized that such a heavy garrison was not that strange.

After all, this era was not so stable.

To the east, there was Taiwan, unwilling to give up and ready to counterattack at any time, and to the north, there were the Soviet revisionists watching them closely.

The entire country was still in the starting stages of poverty and weakness.

Returning to this era, Su Ranran deeply realized how challenging it had been for the motherland, which had dared to challenge the United States, to develop.

Her eyes fell on the man in the neat military uniform beside her, and her gaze softened like water.

Shen He just turned his head and met his wife’s admiring eyes.

Who could resist that?

Though he didn’t know why she was looking at him like this, Shen He enjoyed it very much.

The suffocation and discomfort in his heart, which had lingered since the boat ride, were soothed so easily.

“Go in.”

Shen He’s voice, always cold, softened a few degrees when he spoke to his wife.

This scene happened to fall into Liu Meng’s eyes.

She had just come out of the dormitory and was about to change shifts with her colleagues when she happened to run into Shen He as soon as she walked to the door.

The moment she saw him, Liu Meng’s eyes lit up, and even her steps became more excited. However, this excitement vanished in an instant when she saw the slender figure next to him.

Su Ranran naturally noticed the unusual look.

Following the line of sight, she met a pair of hostile eyes.

Su Ranran: …
