At the military's group wedding, my best friend and I swapped husbands.

Chapter 64 Eye-Catching Bag

Lin Weiwei's soft, boneless little hand was treated like a precision instrument in Bai Si'an's hands. He treated it with utmost care, washing it with soap several times before letting go.

His movements were very light and careful throughout, as if he were handling something precious.

Lin Weiwei didn't want to breathe, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.

After drying his hands, Bai Si'an hugged her again.

"Thank you," he whispered in her ear, his voice still hoarse from the aftermath.

Lin Weiwei nestled in his arms, muttering softly, "You, you filthy scoundrel!"

Bai Si'an chuckled softly, his chest vibrating as he said, "Yeah, I am a rogue. If I weren't injured and worried about affecting my performance, I would have carried you to bed long ago."

Lin Weiwei blushed, slapped him lightly, and said coquettishly, "Let's talk about it when you're better! Rub my hands for me, they're so sore."

"Okay, I'll massage it for you." Bai Si'an patiently massaged Lin Weiwei's hands.

The wind was still blowing in the Gobi Desert outside, howling like it was singing.

Starlight streamed through the small window, casting moving patches of light on the ground.

After the two calmed down for a while, Lin Weiwei began to bathe Bai Si'an. She used a ladle to scoop water and gently rinsed him.

After taking a shower today, Bai Si'an felt refreshed, both physically and mentally.

After taking a shower, he said to Lin Weiwei with a sly smile, "Thank you, my dear wife. From now on, I'll take care of your showers and you won't have to lift a finger."

Lin Weiwei: ...

The two of them left the restroom one after the other.

A cool night breeze blew in, dispelling the heat from Lin Weiwei's face.

She stood in the yard for a while, looking at the starry sky, and took several deep breaths before her heartbeat gradually calmed down.

When they returned to the house, Su Wanwan was already asleep.

Hearing the noise, she groggily opened her eyes: "Weiwei? You're back?"

"Mmm," Lin Weiwei responded softly, groping in the dark to take off her coat and climb into bed. "Did I wake you?"

"No," Su Wanwan rolled over to face her, blinked in the darkness, and said with a hint of teasing, "How is it? The new toilet... is it any good?"

Lin Weiwei's face flushed, but luckily it was dark inside and she couldn't see it.

"It's...it's alright," she mumbled, "quite clean."

Su Wanwan chuckled softly and didn't ask any more questions.

Although she lacked practical experience, she could guess the gist of it from Lin Weiwei's tone.

Between best friends, some things are best left unsaid; asking too many questions can just make things awkward.

Even the best relationships need to maintain a certain sense of boundaries to ensure comfortable interaction.

"Go to sleep," Su Wanwan said softly, "we have to get up early tomorrow."

"Mmm," Lin Weiwei responded, closing her eyes.

But the image of what happened in the bathroom was still vivid in her mind: Bai Si'an's low, husky voice, his warm breath, and the burning sensation in her palm...

She turned over, buried her face in the pillow, and forced herself not to think about it.

In the next room, Bai Si'an lay on the hard bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open.

The wound on my right shoulder was throbbing, and my right knee was also very sore and swollen.

But the anger that had been building up inside for days finally got out.

He recalled Lin Weiwei's flushed face and sparkling eyes, as well as her awkward yet obedient movements, and couldn't help but smile.

This woman is all talk and no action; when it comes to actually fighting, she's just a paper tiger.

But...it's quite cute.

He rolled over, facing the wall, and closed his eyes.

That night, Bai Si'an slept exceptionally soundly.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Bai Rongbei and Bai Si'an got up.

The two quietly washed up, ate breakfast in the cafeteria, and then went to work.

Bai Rong went north to the regimental headquarters, while Bai Si'an went to the technical department.

Before leaving, Bai Rongbei reheated the remaining porridge and cornbread in the pot, wrapped the pot lid with a towel to keep it warm, and placed it on the stove.

"Let them sleep a little longer, we'll close the door quietly," he said to Bai Si'an. "They've been exhausted these past few days."

Bai Si'an nodded: "Mm."

The two brothers went out one after the other.

The wind in the Gobi Desert is cold in the early morning, but it invigorates you.

Baisian still walks with a slight limp in his right leg, but he is in a good mood and walks more briskly than usual.

When he arrived at the technical room, Liu Aiguo was already inside. Seeing him, Liu greeted him, "Technician Bai, good morning. How's your shoulder?"

"It's alright." Bai Si'an sat down at the table, took out the blueprints, and said, "Let's check the data for yesterday's batch of new equipment again."

"Okay."

The two buried themselves in their work.

The technical room was quiet, with only the scratching of pencils on paper and the occasional murmur of discussion.

Bai Rongbei led his team on a training exercise.

Bai Rongbei felt like he had a fire burning inside him after spending too much time with Su Wanwan the other day. He figured he could take his men on a few more weighted runs and let off some steam.

Su Wanwan and Lin Weiwei slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky.

Lin Weiwei opened her eyes first and saw that the sunlight was shining through the window paper, making it bright and cheerful.

She rubbed her eyes and nudged Su Wanwan beside her, "Wanwan, what time is it?"

Su Wanwan groggily pulled out her Shanghai brand watch from under her pillow and glanced at it; it was already past ten o'clock.

"My God..." Su Wanwan sat up. "I slept from eight o'clock to eleven o'clock last night and finally made up for some of the energy I used up the past two days. Let's go eat."

"Yeah, I'm hungry too," Lin Weiwei replied, rubbing her messy hair.

The two quickly got up and dressed.

After washing up, Lin Weiwei went to the kitchen to find something to eat. She lifted the pot lid and saw the breakfast inside, which was still warm. She reached out and touched it, but it had already gone cold.

"Breakfast is cold," she said.

Su Wanwan walked over and looked at it: "Shall we heat it up before eating?"

"Forget it, let's eat at the cafeteria." Lin Weiwei put the pot lid back on. "I'm too lazy to start a fire."

The two tidied up, locked the door, and headed towards the cafeteria.

The morning sun in the Gobi Desert was already quite strong, making one's scalp burn. On the way, I encountered several women from the family compound, carrying vegetable baskets back from the service center. They all greeted me with smiles.

"You two girls are just up?"

"Yeah, I overslept." Lin Weiwei smiled generously.

"It's good to be young, you can sleep in." An auntie chuckled. "My husband gets up before dawn, I can't even sleep a little longer."

Just then, a few people walked towards the intersection ahead.

Leading the group was Wang Xiuying, wearing a brand-new floral shirt, her two braids were neatly combed and shiny, and she had a smile on her face.

Several young married women were surrounding her, listening to her speak.

"So, I was able to come and join the army thanks to my family, Jian Guo."

Wang Xiuying's voice was clear and crisp, tinged with obvious pride. "He received a second-class merit last year, which is why the regiment made a special exception. Otherwise, according to the rules, how could a platoon leader's family member join him so quickly?"

"Sister Xiuying, your man is amazing!" a young wife said enviously.

"It's not just him," Wang Xiuying said, straightening her chest.

"I also contributed. A while ago, the division commander came to inspect and suddenly fell ill. I relieved him with some home remedies, and the commander remembers it! That's why the procedures for accompanying him to the army went very smoothly."

Lin Weiwei and Su Wanwan exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

They had already complained about this part of the original book.

In order to highlight the "model" image of the male and female protagonists, the author arranged a lot of opportunities for Wang Xiuying and Li Jianguo.

Meritorious service, saving lives, gaining the leader's appreciation... the logical loopholes are as numerous as a sieve.

"It's all to set an example," Lin Weiwei said in a low voice. "It encourages soldiers that as long as they work hard and make meritorious contributions, they will not only be commended, but their wives can also come with them and live a good life."

Su Wanwan nodded: "But this method is indeed quite effective."

The young wives listening to Wang Xiuying's words had their eyes light up when they heard that men who could perform sexual intercourse would receive so many preferential treatments.

They thought they must go back and urge their husbands to work hard in the army. They had to work their butts off, even to the point of exhaustion, so that the leaders would see their dedication.

Lin Weiwei and Su Wanwan despised this behavior, because not everyone has such great opportunities as the male and female protagonists.

What's the point of trying if you don't have the right opportunity?

Lin Weiwei and her companion originally did not want to travel with Wang Xiuying and her group, but unexpectedly, Wang Xiuying saw them.

When Wang Xiuying saw them, her smile faded slightly, but quickly brightened again. She then deliberately said to the two of them, "Oh, Wanwan, Weiwei, are you going to the cafeteria too? Let's go together!"

[I have corrected the points everyone pointed out. Thank you for pointing out the issues. The rating is a bit low right now, so I would appreciate it if those who like it could give it a five-star review. Thank you!]
