A Beauty in the 80s Goes on a Blind Date with Her Child, Captivating the Military Compound - Chapter 39

From today on, they were legally and officially husband and wife.

They would be living under the same roof from now on.

The thought made Shen Sisi’s heart pound and her cheeks flush.

If Gu Chengfeng hadn’t been injured, she probably couldn’t have been so composed about sharing a room with a man.

However, even if he hadn’t been injured, he shouldn’t have any designs on her, right?

His heart belonged to his childhood sweetheart!

Thinking of this, Shen Sisi felt much more at ease and less uncomfortable.

Since they were moving in, they naturally had to purchase some things.

Shen Sisi had left in a hurry, bringing her documents, but forgetting the ration tickets needed to buy goods.

However, this didn’t stop her.

She took Gu Chengfeng and skillfully went to the black market at the South City Gate. As long as they had money, they could buy anything there.

When the two entered, they used red scarves to cover most of their faces.

Even Niu Niu was bundled up, only exposing her big eyes.

After browsing two alleys, they bought some pots and pans, toiletries, and two sets of bedding.

When they appeared at the family compound, carrying their large bags and small bundles, everyone was in an uproar.

Were they… going to live together openly?

Tsk, tsk, young people nowadays really have no shame!

Gu Chengfeng glanced at the malicious stares around him. The man, who typically had a short temper, didn’t get angry at all. Instead, he raised his chin confidently.

“Sisi and I just registered our marriage. We will pick a good day in a few days to hold the wedding banquet. We invite everyone to come and drink some wedding wine…”

His single sentence immediately stirred up a thousand waves!

Everyone exploded with gossip.

That disgraced woman actually passed the political review!

And she went and registered her marriage with him!

She had only been here for a few days, and things moved too quickly!

The two of them walked shoulder-to-shoulder, leaving the incessant chatter far behind them.

Gu Chengfeng spoke protectively, “In the future, let’s see who dares to wag their tongue carelessly. Insulting a military wife is a crime.”

Shen Sisi felt warmth in her heart. “Thank you, Gu Chengfeng…”

She had initially believed her marriage to Gu Chengfeng was simply two pitiful people getting what they needed.

She hadn’t expected Gu Chengfeng to afford her every bit of respect and decency.

He brought her back to the family compound before they were married, then publicly presented her with a lavish betrothal gift.

He took the initiative to clear her name and publicly defended her reputation…

If one were to say he had selfish motives, that defending her was defending his own standing as an officer, then what about holding a wedding banquet?

She never expected that Gu Chengfeng would actually hold a wedding ceremony with her.

But if he did this, wouldn’t he fear that his childhood sweetheart would take it seriously and be heartbroken?

Shen Sisi discreetly glanced at Gu Chengfeng. Seeing that his expression was normal, she couldn’t guess what he was thinking.

Hearing that they had registered their marriage, Li Wenhui was the first to visit with a gift to congratulate them.

Looking at the large, scarlet, award-like certificate in Shen Sisi’s hand, her expression was delighted.

“I knew the friend I made was a person of good character.”

“Now, let’s see how those people slander you!” Li Wenhui pouted with satisfaction.

At the same time, she was genuinely happy for Shen Sisi; she and Regiment Commander Gu were finally married!

Shen Sisi suddenly felt like crying, too. The journey had been difficult, but thankfully, she had met Gu Chengfeng.

“Wenhui, stay and have a simple meal with us!”

Shen Sisi accepted the printed cotton fabric she brought and wanted to keep her for dinner.

Li Wenhui grinned boldly. “We can eat anytime. I have something more important to do right now: I need to tell everyone the good news.”

She was swift and decisive in her actions, and soon the news of their marriage registration had spread throughout the compound.

That afternoon, many people came to witness the commotion and personally saw the marriage certificate belonging to her and Gu Chengfeng.

The so-called rumors were defeated without a fight.

Those who had called her a “slut,” accused her of loose morals, or claimed she had been assaulted in the countryside all shut their mouths.

Not only them, but Shen Sisi was also curious about how Gu Chengfeng and Feng Yanzhou had managed to “clear” her name.

She needed to find time to ask them properly…

That evening, Gu Chengfeng carried a black luggage bag and indeed moved back home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a scene that made his blood surge.

Shen Sisi was kneeling on the bed, making it for him.

She was arched, with her hips slightly raised as she smoothed the bedsheets, kneeling on the bed. Her thick, black, smooth hair was casually draped down, swinging back and forth, dang-a-dang, dang-a-dang, lightly teasing his heart with every sway.

His eyes instantly widened, and his body rapidly heated up, becoming almost uncontrollably warm.

“You’re back.” Shen Sisi turned her head and saw his straight figure standing frozen in the doorway.

Perhaps he had rushed while traveling, as his face was flushed.

Gu Chengfeng bent down to put the handbag down, then swiftly backed away. “Mhm, I’m back.”

Shen Sisi got off the bed and clapped her hands. “I just made your bed for you. It’s much softer now. You’ll definitely sleep well tonight.”

Gu Chengfeng glanced darkly at her body.

What should be convex was convex, and what should be curvaceous was curvaceous. Even dressed in loose blue work clothes, the enticing curves couldn’t be hidden.

His voice was low and husky. “Mhm, I can tell. It looks very soft.”

Shen Sisi tried to make small talk, deliberately trying to figure out how to coexist with him in the same room.

The awkwardness was undeniable.

Since leaving home, she had rarely lived with a man.

“Um… have you eaten?” Shen Sisi asked.

She was worried Gu Chengfeng hadn’t eaten at the barracks, so she specifically saved a few large steamed buns, along with half a bowl of stir-fried meat with green peppers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Gu Chengfeng was already full, but for some reason, he suddenly felt hungry again. He felt so starved he wanted to swallow her whole.

“I grabbed a quick bite this afternoon, but I wasn’t full.” Before Gu Chengfeng could finish, Shen Sisi quickly rushed to the kitchen and brought the food out for him.

“I knew it…” she said, smiling brightly. “Eat. I saved it especially for you, and it’s still warm.”

Gu Chengfeng turned to wash his hands, then sat at the table and quickly devoured the buns and dishes.

After eating, he felt a bit awkward again, unsure what to do next.

If he just stared at Shen Sisi, he feared ten cold showers tonight wouldn’t be enough.

So he rolled up his sleeves, collected the bowls and chopsticks, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

The few dishes were quickly done. He then went out to the courtyard, inventing a task for himself by starting to chop firewood.

When working, the body gets hot, and wearing the military greatcoat was inconvenient.

Gu Chengfeng simply took off his outer coat and started working up a sweat in just a thin, white cotton undershirt.

Shen Sisi was telling Niu Niu a story. Involuntarily, she looked up, a hint of admiration crossing her eyes.

A soldier’s physique really was extraordinary; his energy was truly abundant.

Watching the sweat run down his chest muscles, soaking a large part of his shirt, the memory of changing his dressing that day suddenly flashed in her mind.

Gu Chengfeng’s strong chest, the slightly bulging muscles… they felt quite nice to the touch…

She inadvertently wore a dazed, lovesick expression, something she didn’t even realize herself.

Gu Chengfeng finished chopping the firewood, finally feeling some of his physical energy depleted.

Just as he was about to shower, he noticed Shen Sisi looking at him with bright, secretive eyes.
