Chapter 1674 - 1675: Escaped
"Since both parties have agreed, I think they are not young anymore, so why not pick a date to register their marriage?" Zhang Yun brought up the marriage issue just at the right moment.
Firstly, this would help Feng Yuzhi, sparing her the daily nagging, which has become almost spiritual in nature.
Moreover, the two of them really do make a perfect match.
Zhang Yun believes that them being together is an excellent choice.
"That depends on Xiaoye’s family’s opinion," Mrs. Xiao said.
"That’s not okay," Lin Qiushu refused outright, "I just confirmed our relationship status. Are we talking about marriage without even dating?"
"It’s all right; we can get married first and date later," Yan Ye said.
It was rare indeed to encounter a girl who could make his heart flutter, and now that he has, he would hold on to her tightly.
It’s better to get married sooner than later.
Lest someone else steals her away, leaving him to rejoice over nothing.
"I think it’s also fine," An Hao chuckled, "Qiushu, you should consider Mr. Yan’s feelings, right? He isn’t getting any younger; after another two years of dating, I think he might be ready to be a grandfather."
"An Hao! You’re too mean!" Lin Qiushu glared at her and yelled.
"Child, don’t shout nonsense. Qin Jian is your cousin, An Hao is your cousin’s wife, and you should call her sister-in-law in the future," Mrs. Xiao instructed.
"What? I’m older than her!"
"But my seniority ranks higher!" An Hao laughed triumphantly.
"Hahahaha!" Lin Qiushu also burst out laughing, "There’s someone more depressed than me, Yan Ye also has to call An Hao sister-in-law now!"
Yan Ye helplessly shrugged: "No choice! Who made Qin Jian marry a younger wife?"
His words immediately provoked laughter all around, further enhancing the congenial atmosphere.

It was already dusk.
The training team had not yet returned.
Mu Mian sat on the guesthouse bed, blankly staring at the sunset clouds on the horizon.
Lin Sheng had been in the military for a while now; she wondered whether he had lost weight or if he looked much stronger than before.
She also wondered whether he had adapted to the military life.
As she was endlessly imagining in her mind, there came a knock on the door.
Mu Mian got up to open the door, and saw Qin Jian standing at the entrance.
"Brother Qin... I’m really sorry, making you leave a house full of guests to come keep me company all day," Mu Mian said awkwardly.
"It’s fine," Qin Jian didn’t mind at all, "Let’s go, their training just ended."
"Really? That’s great!" Mu Mian exclaimed excitedly.
Typically, recruits enlist in the army in September, but Lin Sheng enlisted late, in March of the following year.
So while others in his group had already adapted, he had to go on a march with the others.
Today, Qin Jian brought Mu Mian over which was unfortunate timing, so they had waited here all day.
Qin Jian took Mu Mian to the unit, where a bunch of men were washing up under the water pipes in front of their dormitories.
"Wait here for me; I’ll go call Lin Sheng," Qin Jian said.
"Okay," Mu Mian nodded in agreement.
As Qin Jian approached the barracks, Zhao Dong was joking around with a group of warriors.
Seeing Qin Jian suddenly appear, they all stood up and saluted collectively.
Qin Jian returned the salute and directly asked Zhao Dong: "Where is Lin Sheng? Call him over."
Before Zhao Dong could respond, a panting warrior ran in and reported: "Report! Lin Sheng has assaulted a sentinel and escaped!"
