Chapter 2 Arrival

In mid-March, Duan Shubai led more than 150 trusted soldiers and his newly married husband from the capital to Yangzhou to take up his post. He arrived in Xuanzhou five days ago. Xuanzhou and Yangzhou are separated by only a river. After crossing the river by boat, he arrived at the place where he took up his post.

Duan Shubai sat on the boat board, and his soaked clothes dripped water, wetting the boat board and leaving a water stain.

Xiao Yuhe, who was sitting over there, felt uncomfortable with his gaze, and lowered his head to cover his face and took a sip of tea.

Duan Shubai was the tallest and most powerful person Xiao Yuhe had ever seen. He had a unique masculine temperament. Just being there, he could not be ignored by others. His muscles were well-developed but not bloated. At this time, sitting there shirtless, he was just like a luminous body as strong as the sun outside.

But unfortunately, he was a warrior with courage but no strategy.

Duan Shubai also felt that it was not good to stare at people like this, like a lecher, so he greeted: "Yuhe, are you still seasick?"

Xiao Yuhe shook his head elegantly and said softly: "It's okay." Xiao Yuhe was originally a young man from a marquisate who grew up in the capital. How could he bear the fatigue of traveling by boat for more than half a month.

Duan Shubai smiled when he heard this, and rested aside without saying anything.

The two had almost no communication since they got married. Duan Shubai did not want a husband for Shuang'er. Xiao Yuhe, a young man from an official family with a bright and glorious life, naturally looked down on Duan Shubai, a strong and rough warrior. Shuang'er like him hoped that her husband would be a talented champion, and she and her husband would live an elegant life under the moonlight and flowers.

Instead of following a group of warriors to suffer in a barren land.

Qiu Ran, who was standing behind Xiao Yuhe, pushed him.

Xiao Yuhe had no choice but to stand up and slowly walk to Duan Shubai, took out a snow-white handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him, saying coldly: "Husband, do you want to change your clothes? Yuhe will help you change your clothes."

He said considerate and gentle words, but his tone and expression did not have the slightest trace of gentleness.

Duan Shubai's heart was thundering, as if a thunderbolt had struck him, burning him on the outside and tender on the inside. He tried hard to hold back the sourness in his mouth, and put on an awkward smile to cover it up. He reluctantly took the handkerchief handed to him, wiped his body with a zombie-like movement, and said, "It's hot, it's enough to dry it in the sun, don't bother me."

My goodness, a man was "gentle and considerate" to him and called him "husband", Duan Shubai felt as if fleas were crawling all over his body, which was simply chilling. The joy of swimming in the river just now was instantly lost, leaving only a sense of numbness and trance.

After hearing Duan Shubai's refusal, Xiao Yuhe no longer forced himself, and sat back in his original position as if he had completed a task.

Duan Shubai comforted himself in his heart. He was dressed as a general, got a beautiful wife, and his legs were healthy again. What else could he be dissatisfied with? People should be content, only by being content can they be happy.

Duan Shubai has no nostalgia for modern life. He will never forget the friendship of his comrades. As for his family... He is a peasant of good family origin, the eldest son in the family. He has been a squad leader since he was a child and has excellent grades. He joined the army at the age of 16 and later entered the military academy. Because of his excellent physical fitness, he was selected into the special operations force. He rose up and won numerous awards. He can send a large sum of money home every month. His brothers and sisters are supported to go to college and start a family. He is the only lonely old bachelor who has been in the army all year round. He doesn't know what to do when he goes back to stay with his family... In this way, the army is more like his home.
