At the military's group wedding, my best friend and I swapped husbands.

This thought made him pause in his actions.

He had never thought about these things before.

He had never been in contact with a woman before, nor had he ever thought about it.

It seems... something is different.

"Bai Rongbei..." Su Wanwan's voice pulled him back to reality.

He looked up and saw that her face was as red as if it were about to bleed, and she didn't dare to look at him.

"I'll wash it myself..." she said, reaching out her hand.

Bai Rongbei still didn't give it to him.

"Don't worry about it," he said as he rubbed, his voice lower than before. "Every woman wears these. I'm your husband, washing your clothes, it's normal."

He said this with little expression on his face, but his ears were slightly red in the moonlight.

This was actually the first time Bai Rongbei had ever washed clothes for a woman. He had never thought about what kind of life he would lead after marriage.

However, being a stay-at-home dad, doing laundry and cooking at home, is definitely not something he wants to do.

A man should be focused on his career; how can the hand that holds a gun be used to hold a spatula?

Not to mention things like laundry, he definitely wouldn't do those...

However, when Bai Rongbei was washing clothes just now, he caught a glimpse of Su Wanwan's clothes soaking in the basin.

He wondered, this woman has so many clothes that she hasn't washed. Her hands are so slender, can she really wash them clean?

Su Wanwan probably rubbed her hands raw, and her clothes weren't even clean yet.

And while she was washing, she would stand there with her hands on her hips, panting heavily.

Thinking of this, Bai Rongbei simply took her clothes and, being strong, washed them clean in no time.

This is not only convenient, but also efficient.

Su Wanwan squatted there, watching him diligently wash the clothes. The embarrassment and annoyance in her heart slowly dissipated, replaced by a complex emotion.

This man doesn't talk much, always has a stern face, but he can do...

He buys her dresses, shields her from gossip, gives her his salary, and now... he's still washing her underwear.

Everything he did was done honestly and practically, without any flowery words, yet it gave people more peace of mind than anything else.

She bit her lip and whispered, "Then... I'll help you."

As she spoke, she reached for the pants in the basin.

"No need," Bai Rongbei stopped her, "The water's cold, don't touch it."

"I'm not afraid of the cold..." Su Wanwan insisted.

Bai Rongbei glanced at her, thinking that having someone keep him company while he did laundry might not be so boring, so he didn't stop her anymore, but pushed the soap towards her: "Use this."

The two of them squatted down next to the tap, one washing his underwear and the other his pants, neither of them saying a word.

The moonlight shone down quietly, casting the two shadows on the ground, very close together.

The water was splashing, and a white layer of soap suds piled up in the basin, shimmering faintly in the moonlight.

Bai Rongbei washed it very carefully.

Looking at the clothes, Bai Rongbei couldn't help but imagine what it would look like to wear them.

He swallowed hard, forcing himself to clear his mind.

Su Wanwan was rubbing her pants slowly and carefully.

She occasionally stole a glance at Bai Rongbei. He turned his face to the side, his jawline taut, his eyes focused intently on the clothes in his hands.

His fingers were long, and the joints were slightly white from exertion.

She suddenly realized that this man was actually... quite handsome.

It's not the kind of exquisite beauty, but a rugged, powerful beauty.

Like the poplars in the Gobi Desert, rough but sturdy.

"Bai Rongbei," she suddenly spoke, "thank you for today...."

Bai Rongbei continued working on his hands: "What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for helping us clarify the rumors," Su Wanwan said softly, "and... thank you for doing my laundry."

Bai Rongbei didn't say anything, but just rubbed the clothes in his hands again, wrung them out, and put them into a clean basin.

"Of course," he said, finally uttering only three words.

The pants were washed too. Su Wanwan wrung them out and put them together with Bai Rongbei's washed clothes.

Bai Rongbei stood up, stacked the two basins on top of each other, and carried them in one hand: "Let's go back."

"Mm." Su Wanwan followed behind him.

Back inside, Bai Rongbei placed the basin in the corner: "Let it air dry tomorrow."

"Okay." Su Wanwan nodded.

Bai Rongbei glanced at her, wanting to say something, but didn't.

Finally, he just nodded and said, "Go to sleep early."

After saying that, he turned and went into his room.

Su Wanwan stood in the main room, looking at the door he had closed, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

She turned and went into her room. Lin Weiwei was already asleep, lying sprawled on the bed with the blanket kicked to one side and something clutched in her hand.

Su Wanwan walked over and saw that what she was holding was a self-made booklet with a cover wrapped in kraft paper and the words "Daily Life in the Military Camp" written on it in pen.

It's a comic drawn by Lin Weiwei.

Su Wanwan gently took the booklet from her hand and flipped through it.

It's filled with drawings of things that happened in the last two days.

The first page depicts two couples standing in front of a bungalow adorned with the character for "happiness" (囍). All four of them look bewildered, with the caption: "What do I do if I slept with the wrong husband? I need help urgently."

The second page depicts a scene in the cafeteria where Bai Rongbei is eating her leftovers. The drawing is incredibly lifelike, accompanied by the caption: "This man is someone I can date."

The third page depicts the scene of Bai Si'an falling while repairing the toilet. The drawing is exaggerated and funny, but there's a small caption next to it: "Actually, I feel quite sorry for him."

Later on, there was the purchase of a dress, and the conference where rumors were clarified...

Each page is vividly and interestingly illustrated, capturing those moments, whether awkward or heartwarming.

Su Wanwan looked at it and couldn't help but laugh.

She closed the booklet, placed it on the bedside table, and then covered Lin Weiwei with the blanket.

Lin Weiwei mumbled something, turned over, and fell asleep again.

Su Wanwan also lay down and turned off the light.

The room was plunged into darkness, with only moonlight streaming in through the window, casting a silvery-white glow on the floor.

She lay there with her eyes open, thinking about what had happened that day, about Bai Rongbei's focused profile as he washed clothes, about the tone in his voice when he said, "I am your husband"...

Something seemed to be quietly sprouting in my heart.

In the next room, Bai Rongbei lay on the bed with his eyes open.

The room was pitch black, with only a little moonlight filtering in through the window.

Bai Rongbei's mind was a mess, filled with images of washing clothes earlier.

Su Wanwan's pink dress, and the way she blushed...

He never used to think about these things.

During his years in the army, he had met many female comrades, but he never felt anything for them.

Everyone says he's cold and unromantic. He himself feels that marriage is just about living together, and feelings are too much of a luxury.

But tonight...

His thoughts seemed to be completely out of control.

He couldn't help but think of Su Wanwan's appearance.

The way she looked in her floral shirt, her focused profile as she painted the wall, her slightly flushed cheeks when she handed him water…

And today, outside the bathhouse, after she finished showering, her hair was still wet and draped over her shoulders, her skin was fair and rosy from the steaming hot water…

Bai Rongbei felt a little hot.

He lifted a corner of the blanket, and a cool breeze blew in, making him feel a little better.

But as soon as I close my eyes, I see Su Wanwan's face again.

This time it's more specific.

For the first time ever, he dreamed of a woman.

This woman is Su Wanwan.

He dreamt that he was standing outside a bathhouse, and Su Wanwan came out from inside, dressed.

In the dream, he walked over and reached out to tear open her shirt.

She said, "What are you doing?"

He said, "I want to see just how much flesh you have on your body."

Then he saw...

Bai Rongbei suddenly opened his eyes.

My heart was pounding like a drum, and I was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

He took a few breaths before realizing it was all a dream.

But the images in his dream were so vivid, so vivid, that he began to doubt himself.

Bai Rongbei lifted the blanket and took a look.

He froze on the spot.
