183, arrival, military vehicle

Jing Qingxin had prepared seven egg pancakes, which was plenty for the two of them. She spread out one egg pancake, placed seven or eight slices of cold-dressed meat on top, added some cucumber slices, and then rolled the egg pancake up into a meat-slice wrap.

"Ah-Shen, try eating it like this~" Jing Qingxin said with a smile as she handed it to Gao Shen.

With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Gao Shen took the wrap and took a large bite. Eating it rolled up like this was certainly much more convenient, saving him the trouble of picking up side dishes with chopsticks while biting into the pancake at the same time. It had a unique and delightful flavor!

"Mmm, delicious!" Gao Shen nodded and praised.

Jing Qingxin had been very generous with the fragrant sesame oil in the cold-dressed meat slices. Although the egg pancake was slightly dry on its own, the juices and oil from the meat made the texture just right!

Huang Mei clutched her stomach, feeling a wave of discomfort. She wanted to eat so badly! There were still several egg pancakes left on the table; should she go over and ask them for a couple? After all, they had even given up their seats to them!

Wang Lingling's empty stomach was also tormented by the aroma of the meat, making it impossible for her to keep pretending to be asleep. She had no choice but to open her eyes and watch the man and woman opposite her eating with such relish.

Look at how richly prepared that food was! Using so much oil, and making egg pancakes out of pure white wheat flour—what a waste, such a prodigal! It seemed that woman didn't know the first thing about running a household; otherwise, how could she be so oblivious to how precious everyday necessities were?!

So what if she was pretty? She was just a wasteful, spendthrift woman! Let's see how long that man could put up with her!

Noticing Huang Mei's restless and eager expression beside her, Wang Lingling immediately reached out and grabbed Huang Mei's hand. What an utter fool, she only ever thought about food! Had she forgotten how that woman had humiliated them at noon?

Now, just seeing a bit of meat, she couldn't help but rush over to cozy up to them? She had no shame at all; she would certainly not compromise with that woman!

Once she reached the military unit and found the man she was arranged to marry, would she still have to worry about not getting to eat meat?

Jing Qingxin and Gao Shen happily and harmoniously finished their dinner! As for the two women opposite them, they completely treated them as background scenery and paid them no mind at all!

After dinner, time passed very quickly. As the sky grew completely dark, Panshi finally arrived!

Jing Qingxin and Gao Shen slightly adjusted their clothing and waited for the rest of the carriage to disembark first to avoid the crowded rush!

The couple in the upper berths had already left with the crowd, while the two women opposite them remained seated without moving.

Jing Qingxin packed up their books, kettle, and towels, and neatly put the trash into a separate plastic bag. There were no trash cans in the carriage, and Jing Qingxin had long cultivated an eco-friendly awareness, having no habit of littering casually.

Seeing that almost everyone in the carriage had left, the two women immediately stood up, each grabbing her own cloth bag and getting off the train! However, before leaving, the two women couldn't help but let out a soft huff in Jing Qingxin's direction.

This instantly elicited a light chuckle from Jing Qingxin! Childish! Boring!

Gao Shen stood in the aisle, and seeing that there were hardly any people left, he gave Jing Qingxin a signal.

Receiving the signal, Jing Qingxin flicked her hand, and two extra-large luggage bags suddenly appeared on the bed, packed round and full. Jing Qingxin picked up her personal military-style bag first.

Gao Shen carried the two large luggage bags with both hands and shielded Jing Qingxin in front of him. Although the two of them were husband and wife, overly intimate gestures in crowded public places were still inappropriate.

At that moment, Gao Shen couldn't help but miss the world Jing Qingxin came from, where romantic partners could freely hold hands, put their arms around each other's shoulders, and embrace each other's waists.

The two of them were practically the last to step off the train. Just as they set foot on the station platform, a loud shout rang out: "Company Commander!"

Jing Qingxin turned her head and saw two young soldiers dressed in military combat uniforms walking briskly toward them.

"Company Commander, you're finally back!" a round-faced, slightly younger-looking man said to Gao Shen with excitement.

"Gao Shen! Welcome back to the unit!" another square-faced, somewhat steadier and more mature man gave a military salute!

Both of them looked at Gao Shen with joyful expressions, and then both of their gazes swept down toward Gao Shen's left leg!

Looking at the comrades-in-arms with whom he had once fought side by side in battle, Gao Shen said happily, "Mmm, I'm back!"

Noticing his two friends' gazes, Gao Shen immediately hopped lightly on his feet and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my leg has completely healed!"

Upon receiving this affirmative answer, the expressions of the two men relaxed. They immediately stepped forward to give Gao Shen a brotherly embrace and said with profound relief, "That's our boy!"

The three of them shared a moment of excitement and joy!

After the pleasantries were over, the three men finally noticed and remembered that just a few steps away stood a slender and graceful woman!

Gao Shen cast an apologetic look toward Jing Qingxin, and she responded with a bright, radiant smile.

Seeing his comrades and getting caught up in the excitement, he had completely forgotten to introduce her. Gao Shen quickly walked over to Jing Qingxin's side and said with a very gentle expression, "This is my wife, Jing Qingxin!"

Hearing this, the two grown men stared at Gao Shen in astonishment, shifting their gazes to Jing Qingxin with eyes full of awe and amazement. They had never expected that while Gao Shen went home to recuperate from his injuries, he would actually get married, and his bride would be such an exceptionally beautiful woman!

The two men steadied their emotions and quickly nodded in unison to greet her: "Hello, Sister-in-law!"
