The Reborn Military Pet: The 60-year old wife is so hot

CHAPTER 157

Fang Yuxi pondered whether she was unaware of Ou Yuchen's fate in her previous life or if something had indeed befallen him. Despite never having encountered him before, in this lifetime, she held a fervent hope for his well-being. No one held as significant a place in her heart as he did.

While most individuals his age had already settled down, started families, and embraced domestic life, Ou Yuchen remained a bachelor due to familial obligations and his connection to her. Despite his appealing demeanor and popularity among girls, his family background and the financial strain of supporting relatives in the countryside deterred many potential suitors. Only a select few were willing to overlook these challenges and pursue a relationship with him.

Fang Yuxi found solace in the fact that Ou Yuchen didn't harbor romantic feelings for anyone else in the military camp. She attributed this to the numerous love rivals she had unwittingly vanquished through the trials of reality.

Seeing Ou Yuchen's living conditions firsthand during a visit to his relatives deeply moved Fang Yuxi. Despite his high salary as a soldier, his living space was modest, almost bare, with minimal furniture and only the essentials for daily life. He seemed to live like an ascetic, barely spending on himself and mainly relying on cafeteria meals.

While many soldiers could afford a comfortable lifestyle even while supporting relatives in the countryside, Ou Yuchen's frugality stood out. He prioritized the well-being of others over his own, often sacrificing his own comfort for the sake of his loved ones. This selflessness touched Fang Yuxi deeply, even if she found it a bit excessive.

The sight of Ou Yuchen's spartan room stirred a surge of emotion in Fang Yuxi, nearly bringing her to tears. It was in that moment that she realized the depth of his love for her and his genuine concern for her and her family. Despite his simplicity and selflessness, she couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of affection for him, vowing silently to never let go of this man for as long as she lived.

Fang Yuxi's reflections on her care for Grandpa Bai and Uncle Ou, initially driven by guilt and familial obligations but later transformed into genuine concern, resonated deeply within her. She recognized the selfless devotion of Ou Yuchen, whom she affectionately referred to as a "fool," and acknowledged the profound impact he had on her life.

Despite his perceived foolishness, Ou Yuchen's unwavering support and love had gradually won over Fang Yuxi's heart, infusing it with a renewed sense of purpose and affection. She found herself caring deeply for this man who seemed oblivious to his own worth.

Their shared meal was a testament to their bond, and the arrival of He Yushun and He Jiaqi with pots of wild boar and pig meat further emphasized the communal spirit that permeated their interactions. The gesture of sending the pig offal to Fang Yuxi for her to handle showcased the mutual respect and camaraderie among them, solidifying their connection as friends and neighbors.

Fang Yuxi accepted the offerings from He Yushun and He Jiaqi without hesitation, knowing well how to handle them to create delicious dishes for everyone to enjoy. She planned to marinate the meat overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify before sharing them with the community.

With the men off to catch fish, Fang Yuxi prepared to start cooking the stew at Luo's home. As she watched them depart, she anticipated that it would take some time for them to return with their catch. Utilizing this time wisely, she began the preparations for the hearty stew, ensuring that it would be ready by the time they returned.
