After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 263 - 2063 Miss Ou

Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian were enjoying some rare moments of intimacy before saying goodbye. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Is there any more kissing? Any more kissing?" Several heads popped out one after another from outside, peeping in with great excitement.

Suddenly, with an "ouch," Taozi, the most daring of the bunch, was accidentally pushed out by a comrade.

Xia Chuyi immediately distanced herself from Huo Shiqian with an embarrassed air.

A cold light emanated from Huo Shiqian’s body, sharply shooting towards his own subordinates.

Taozi: ...

Why is it always him who gets hurt?

Taozi racked his brains frantically when, all of a sudden, his eyes lit up. Trying to appear nonchalant, he reported to his company commander, "Report, Commander, it’s time to leave!"

The air suddenly turned chilly.

Xiao Wang and Li Zi exchanged glances: they were wrong; they should not have fought with Taozi over the pig’s head meat on ordinary days.

He really needs to eat more pig brains to nourish his poor brain, truly!

Even Taozi, with his not-so-sharp brain, understood the atmosphere: he definitely said something wrong!

Taozi stood stiffly and pitifully in place, enduring the piercing gaze of his company commander.

Xiao Wang and Li Zi, very much against their principles, did not come to his rescue.

"Commander, I didn’t mean to peek on purpose..." Taozi began to earnestly explain, prepared to come clean and hope for leniency.

However, Huo Shiqian just said indifferently, "Falling out from a cover, your scouting skills are not up to standard."

Taozi was taken aback for a moment, with wide eyes, it took him a while to react and he asked, "What, what do you mean?"

He really couldn’t keep up with the commander’s train of thought.

The two still hiding behind the "cover" thought to themselves: Silly Taozi, with their level of spying, if the commander wanted to catch someone, he would have already done it! Obviously, the commander doesn’t mind being spied on!

The commander has got a little wife now and wishes he could announce it to the whole world.

In the courtyard, Huo Shiqian’s voice remained calm as he continued, "After you go back, a five-kilometer cross-country with weight."

Taozi: ...

The commander’s words were straightforward and clear.

He scratched his head, a pained expression on his face, and replied, "Understood."

He was truly pitiable.

Fortunately, at that moment, Xia Chuyi spoke up, pointing at the dried marinated snacks, "These snacks, I made them overnight for you to take on the road."

She successfully broke the awkward silence and rescued Taozi.

"What, little sister-in-law, these are for us?" Xiao Wang and Li Zi, previously hidden, threw caution to the wind, rushing out and exclaiming.

Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Yes, they are all for you. The weather is still cool, so they should keep for some time."

Li Zi grinned, snatching a bag of the marinated snacks first, holding it in his hand, and cheerfully said, "Thank you, little sister-in-law! Long live little sister-in-law!"

Xiao Wang was more composed, saying solemnly and seriously, "Long live little sister-in-law."

Xia Chuyi: "..."

Taozi, already condemned to punishment, snapped out of his daze and, grinning wide with a hand on his head, shouted, "Thank you, little sister-in-law, you’re the best! You’re way better than those third daughters of the Ou family or whatever!"

Shiqian unleashed the Frost Sword in an instant.

The air turned deathly cold.

What, what did I say wrong again? Taozi looked completely puzzled.

The crowd: ...

Their eyes shifted towards Xia Chuyi.

Hopefully, little sister-in-law hadn’t paid attention to Taozi’s words.

"The third daughter of the Ou family?" Xia Chuyi’s eyes curved into crescents, her voice gentle and unhurried as she spoke, smiling innocently, "Who’s that? A pretty girl from the military?"

She seemed utterly serene.
