Chapter 169: Chapter 166 You’re After My Man Again [1400+ Votes]

——————

Xie Jingchen woke up in the middle of the night, lifting his wrist to check the time, it was four in the morning!

That’s when he realized that nearly twenty hours had passed!

Goodness, when did he become such a dead pig?

How could he sleep so soundly, almost a full day passing in a blink?

Without moving, he could sense his wife resting peacefully on his shoulder.

Xie Jingchen, who considered himself sharp-witted, took a moment to think deeply and was certain that his little wife had ’added something to his drink’ again!

Did she know that he would be going back to the front line soon?

Xie Jingchen sighed internally, he had always known that his little wife was wise. As soon as there was a slight break in his tone, she could immediately catch on and understand his intentions from the information she gathered.

Having a wife that is too clever is both a blessing and a curse. There are some things he finds difficult to express, yet she would already fully understand them.

Through the dim moonlight, Xie Jingchen carefully observed the peacefully sleeping little woman with the corner of his eyes.

Time flew by, and whether it was because his gaze was too fond and gentle, or some other reason, Zhang Shanni managed to sleep till dawn, her biological clock waking her up at her regular time.

She was not startled awake by Xie Jingchen’s ’intrusive’ gaze in the middle of the night.

The moment Zhang Shanni opened her eyes, she found her man staring at her with keen eyes, which inexplicably made her feel guilty. She timidly greeted him, "Morning~~"

Her voice was a couple of notes sweeter.

"Morning, wife," Xie Jingchen kissed her on the forehead and helped her get out of bed.

Zhang Shanni felt a bit sluggish when she first woke up, a behavior Xie Jingchen had noticed in just the two days since he’d been back, which made her very happy.

It was always better for the man to be attentive rather than indifferent.

Zhang Shanni was anxious the whole morning, worried Xie Jingchen would ask her some questions, but even after they left the house, no question came.

This made Zhang Shanni even more uneasy, though she couldn’t show it on her face.

After all, this behavior was entirely unlike Xie Jingchen!

But, it seemed as if Xie Jingchen genuinely hadn’t noticed anything. He simply supported her while walking, purely focused on assisting her.

Today was a good weather day, a stark contrast to the snowy bad weather of the day before. The sun even peeked out smilingly.

However, the temperature did not rise because of its appearance; instead, the road became slicker and the temperature dropped even more.

People living in the north know that it’s actually not very cold when it snows. The truly unbearable cold happens during the melting period... it’s both cold and damp, absolutely no conditions for living.

The Rong Medical Department was not very far from the residential area, but due to the melting snow and Zhang Shanni’s special physical condition, Xie Jingchen’s grip on her arm was firm. He supported most of her weight on his side.

She herself didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary, but there were always one or two military wives or working women who happened to pass by them on the street, all glancing at Xie Jingchen with a look that held a hint of mischief.

Zhang Shanni watched secretly, barely containing her glee.

This era is after all somewhat conservative. Xie Jingchen might not have realized it himself; ever since they got married, whenever he was with her, his affectionate gestures were constant, one could never guess he was a ’conservative’ rural man.

His thoughts were progressive, his emotions even more sensitive, always quickly noticing even the slightest shift in her mood, and timely easing her unease.

While Zhang Shanni felt sweet inside, Xie Jingchen had his arm around her as they entered the Rong Medical Department.

It might be only the second day of the New Year, but the military could well be the most unique place; the Rong Medical Department was busy as usual, flooded with patients from among the military personnel and their families.

This should explain the timing of Xie Jingchen and others’ return, which was a bit too coincidental. Many, like Xie Jingchen, only returned home on New Year’s Eve, and those weaker in spirit perhaps only on the first day of the New Year.

Even during the New Year, for their own safety, anyone who felt the slightest discomfort wouldn’t hesitate to visit the Rong Medical Department.

Only by taking responsibility for one’s health can one increase their chances of survival on missions.

"Wife, sit here, I’ll go get a number for you, it’s a bit crowded today." Xie Jingchen helped his wife to sit on a chair on the other side.

In the medical facility, there was no priority for military personnel, because everyone here, if not military personnel themselves, was a family member of one, so what’s there to yield?

Unless it was an acute illness, generally everyone would queue in order.

Zhang Shanni and he hadn’t left late, but the queue had already stretched long.

Zhang Shanni looked around curiously, finding it strange that people during the festival were not avoiding the hospital at all.

Xie Jingchen was positioned on the outer edge of the line, where there were fewer people and the visibility was better, allowing him to openly keep an eye on his wife; as soon as he turned his head, there she was right in front of him.

However, this thought had scarcely brought him any joy when someone tugged at his military uniform, nearly knocking him over! Thankfully his keen intuition allowed him to swiftly step back, avoiding being taken advantage of!

"Brother Yang—You!"

The newcomer was a woman about the same size as his wife, but when she clearly saw the face of the man turning to face her, Xie Jingchen, she froze.

This person was not the man she loved! He just had a backdrop similar to him!

It wasn’t him.

"Sister, what are you doing? Are you delirious with fever?" Lin Aifei hurriedly followed behind, firmly grabbing her sister’s arm, and whispered angrily: "What are you doing, have you no shame?"

"Comrade, you’ve mistaken someone!" Xie Jingchen backed away with a dark face, nodded at Mrs. Rong who followed up, and turned to leave.

"Oh, it’s Camp Commander Xie, sorry, my sister is feverish and muddled, she hasn’t caused you any trouble, right?" Lin Aifei recognized the military uniform and after taking a closer look realized that this man was her husband’s superior from the same battalion.

Xie? Lin Aifei’s sister heard this surname, and originally thought she had just mistaken him for someone else, but upon closer inspection, this man resembled the man she deeply loved by about sixty to seventy percent!

Of course, she also realized now, the man in front of her was much taller than her beloved, and his skin much darker, definitely a completely different person.

But with the same surname and such resemblance, could they be brothers?

Oh, right, she seemed to have heard that he had an older brother who was a military guard—could it really be such a coincidence?

"May I ask—"

"What now, you fancy my man too?" Zhang Shanni, standing beside Xie Jingchen, supporting her belly, coldly retorted.
