Chapter 19 Sleeping in the same tent as Huo Yanchuan
Wenrou wanted to say something more, but seeing that he had already left, she had no choice but to give up.
But considering that he's already gone through that, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to show any disgust?
Besides, it's just a one-night stand anyway, so I'll just treat him like a sister.
Thinking about it this way, Wenrou felt much better.
When Huo Yanchuan returned carrying the blankets, Wenrou had already gone into the tent.
The tent was a bit cramped; when Wenrou lay down, it already took up most of the space.
Although she eats a lot, she doesn't absorb nutrients very well, so she's still very thin.
Huo Yanchuan trains regularly, and although he doesn't look fat, he has a very strong physique. When he lay down, he almost filled the entire tent.
"However, he was warm, and as soon as I lay down, Wenrou felt much warmer too."
It was already past one in the morning, and Wenrou was already sleepy. Soon, her steady breathing could be heard.
Hearing the voice, Huo Yanchuan turned to look at her.
In the dim light, he saw her long, soft, curled eyelashes fluttering.
He hadn't looked at her closely before, but now he realized that her features were exquisite and beautiful, with a small, upturned nose and a face even smaller than one of his hands.
When it's asleep, it seems very quiet and not as aggressive as it usually appears.
How could someone who looks so thin and small possess such strong energy and explosive power?
Today's events were something he never expected. It seemed that ever since he met her, she had been constantly surprising him.
He originally married Wenrou to appease his family, but now he admires her from the bottom of his heart.
Wenrou fell asleep, but Huo Yanchuan was not so easy to fall asleep.
The tent was so small that the two of them were now standing very close together.
He could even feel the warmth emanating from Wenrou's body, and the breath she exhaled made him stiffen involuntarily.
Huo Yanchuan is now standing ramrod straight, which is even more uncomfortable than being forced to stand at attention as punishment.
Wenrou slept very well that night, even better than in the family compound, and wasn't cold at all.
However, when she woke up, Huo Yanchuan was nowhere to be found.
She looked at the two blankets covering her. No wonder she didn't feel cold. It turned out that Huo Yanchuan was afraid she would be cold, so he covered her with his own blanket.
After getting up in the morning and gently washing up, she prepared to go get water again.
She didn't see Huo Yanchuan, and seeing that it was getting late, she greeted the others and prepared to get on the bus.
Just as she was about to sit in the driver's seat, a large hand grabbed her arm.
"I'll drive."
Wenrou heard the voice, turned around, and saw Huo Yanchuan standing behind her at some point.
"You...aren't you going to help out here?" Wenrou asked after a moment of surprise.
"With Hao Gang here, there's nothing to worry about," Huo Yanchuan said, helping Wenrou down.
Huo Yanchuan was really worried about her health after she drove for so long yesterday.
He got up very early today and explained all the things that needed to be noted to Hao Gang.
He had originally planned to have someone take her home, but he was too worried about it, so he had to come himself.
Huo Yanchuan helped Wenrou to sit in the passenger seat, then walked to the driver's seat and easily stepped into the car.
"Are you ready?" he asked, turning his head.
Gentlely nodded, and Huo Yanchuan started the car.
With Huo Yanchuan driving, Wenrou, sitting in the passenger seat, didn't have to worry about the road conditions and could finally relax.
Yesterday, she brought a truckload of water, which was then distributed to the soldiers in buckets. So now they need to go to the county town to fetch another load of water to take home to their families.
"If you're tired, take a rest. I'll call you when we get there." Huo Yanchuan was worried about Wenrou's health; she probably hadn't rested well yesterday under those circumstances.
Perhaps because she had driven for too long yesterday, Wenrou felt that her arms and legs were very sore. Seeing that Huo Yanchuan had said so, she responded and closed her eyes to rest.
It has to be said that he drove very steadily. Wenrou fell asleep without even feeling a bump.
When she woke up, they had already arrived at the county town reservoir.
After filling the water tank, we prepared to turn back.
"How about I do it?" Wenrou had just taken a nap and was now full of energy.
Seeing her bright eyes looking at him, Huo Yanchuan couldn't refuse and had no choice but to agree.
"If you get tired on the road, don't push yourself. Let me drive," Huo Yanchuan reminded him, sitting in the passenger seat.
After Wenrou agreed, she got into the driver's seat.
She had already walked the route yesterday, so she was much more familiar with it now, and it only took her two hours to get back.
At this time, everyone in the family compound was still waiting for Wenrou to bring the water back.
They waited all day yesterday, but no one showed up, and everyone was extremely anxious.
"I told you we couldn't let her fetch water. So many of us are waiting for water, and she's still nowhere to be seen. Who knows where she's gone?"
"Definitely. I told you she was unreliable; isn't this just delaying important matters?"
"What are we going to do? If we don't have water today, how are we going to survive?"
Hearing everyone say this, Wang Yanping quickly stepped forward to calm the crowd in the compound.
"Everyone, calm down. What if something happened to Wenrou that caused this? Besides, none of us know the situation yet, so how can we blame her entirely?"
"Director Wang, you're speaking up for Wenrou like this, but isn't it because your family borrowed water from her? If she can't do it, why did she take on this task? We're all going without water because of her." At this moment, Shen Qingshuang, who was standing to the side, crossed her arms and asked, not wanting to miss the fun.
She never thought much of Wenrou, and now that she's finally found something to use against her, how could she possibly let it go?
"Wenrou not only deceived all of us, but also the leaders of the army. We're going to report her now and ask the leaders to stand up for us." Shen Qingshuang wasn't going to give up until she got rid of Wenrou.
With so many people in the family compound watching over her, she didn't believe Huo Yanchuan could still protect Wenrou at this time.
Besides, Huo Yanchuan is still a regimental commander. If his family members do something that violates military regulations, he should also set an example.
"That's right, let's report it now."
"Let's go, let's report her! I refuse to believe no one will stand up for us!"
Shen Qingshuang led the people from the family compound toward the door, cursing and swearing. Wang Yanping and her sister-in-law were anxious when they saw this.
They were all people who had received kindness and help, and they wanted to help her too, but their abilities were limited and they didn't know what to do.
However, just as they arrived at the door, they saw a truck steadily parked in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, Wenrou got out of the car.
Huo Yanchuan was with her.
