Despite having lived two lives, Xiao Man was still flustered and embarrassed by their shameless teasing. Gu Shaojun pulled her into his arms to comfort her. "Don't mind these guys. They always act up whenever a family member comes to visit. It looks like they have too much energy. I'll show them a new routine during drills tomorrow and teach them a harsh lesson!"
Xiao Man said softly, "Maybe I should just stay in the female soldiers' dormitory?"
"No! This place has an inner and outer room. You can have the bed, and I'll just set up the cot." He sniffed the soft pile of her hair, which smelled of faint, fresh flowers, and buried his face in her neck, his breath unsteady. "It's a shame the bedframe is too small... I've dreamt countless times that we were married. We'd see each other every day, and every night we could share a bed, have the same dreams, and sleep so soundly and sweetly! Let's put the cot right next to the bed, so we can fall asleep together. How about it?"
