Chapter 356 Home is where your lover is.
He tenderly kissed Zhao Zhaodi's beautiful cheek, then reluctantly climbed out of the warm and comfortable bed, quickly dressed, and tidied his appearance.
"Baby, look how tired you look! You must be exhausted! Close your eyes and get some sleep. When you wake up, I'll come back and cook a delicious, hot meal for my little darling!"
After we eat, I'll take you to meet the other military dependents so you can get to know them. That way, even when I'm not around, you'll have someone to talk to and keep you company, so you won't be all alone.
Chen Runping gently stroked Zhao Zhaodi's slightly tired face and spoke softly.
Then, he gently placed a tender kiss on her forehead.
"Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and do your work without worry!"
Zhao Zhaodi responded with a smile, and at the same time gently nudged Chen Runping.
However, Chen Runping seemed reluctant to leave so soon. He bent down once more and planted a deep kiss on Zhao Zhaodi's rosy cheek before slowly walking out of the dormitory, looking back every few steps with deep affection, and carefully closing the door behind him.
With a soft "bang" as the door closed, the once lively and cozy dormitory instantly fell silent, leaving only Zhao Zhaodi lying quietly on the not-so-spacious bed.
Her bright, lively eyes began to look around curiously, carefully examining every corner of the room.
The furnishings inside were indeed very simple and plain. Apart from a single bed, a desk, and a chair, there was almost no other furniture.
Even so, the room still exudes a strong military atmosphere—the people are covered with green military blankets, and the books and stationery on the desk are neatly arranged... everything makes people feel that rigorous and orderly living atmosphere.
Although the conditions here are far inferior to the comfortable and soft bed at home, Zhao Zhaodi is content as long as Chen Runping is by her side, even if she is just living in such a small dormitory.
For her, home is wherever her lover is.
Zhao Zhaodi leaned lazily against the headboard, holding a book that exuded a faint scent of ink, reading with great interest.
Outside the window, the trees are lush and green, and a gentle breeze rustles through the leaves.
Because their dormitory is nestled among mountains, it remains cool and pleasant even in the sweltering summer.
Before she knew it, weariness washed over her like a tide, and Zhao Zhaodi's eyelids grew heavier and heavier until she finally closed her eyes and drifted into a sweet dream.
At this moment, Chen Runping had just finished a busy day at work and was rushing home.
When he gently pushed open the door, he immediately saw Zhao Zhaodi sleeping soundly on the bed.
Her breathing was steady, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she were having a sweet dream.
Chen Runping tiptoed to the bedside, sat down slowly, and gazed affectionately at the face that captivated him.
Unable to resist, Chen Runping leaned forward and carefully kissed Zhao Zhaodi's delicate cheek.
Just as her lips were about to touch her skin, Zhao Zhaodi suddenly felt a familiar presence approaching.
She groggily opened her eyes, and what came into view was Chen Runping's gentle face.
"You're awake."
Chen Runping said softly, while reaching out his right hand to gently ruffle Zhao Zhaodi's hair, his eyes full of affection.
"Um……"
Zhao Zhaodi nodded sleepily, yawned, and asked:
"What time is it now?"
"Don't rush, it's still early, only 5:30. Sleep a little longer, I'll go prepare dinner and wake you up when it's ready."
After saying that, Chen Runping smiled and kissed Zhao Zhaodi's forehead again before getting up and walking outside.
Zhao Zhaodi stretched comfortably, enjoying the feeling of her whole body being stretched.
However, she did not get out of bed immediately, but continued to lie there lazily, enjoying this moment of peace and comfort.
After about ten minutes, Zhao Zhaodi finally reluctantly lifted the covers, slowly got out of bed, and put on her shoes.
She looked around the room, trying to find Chen Runping, but found the room empty and there was no trace of him.
It turned out to be an adjoining one-bedroom apartment with no toilet or kitchen.
Zhao Zhaodi gently pushed open the door, slowly stepped out, and walked out of that cozy room.
After she stopped, she looked around to the left and then to the right, her gaze finally settling on the end of the corridor on the left.
There, a familiar, tall figure was busily working, while several women were also busy at work beside him.
Zhao Zhaodi walked lightly in that direction.
At this moment, Chen Runping, who had been working diligently, seemed to notice something and suddenly turned around.
When he saw his lover walking towards him, a bright smile immediately bloomed on his face.
"Get up! Come here quickly."
As Chen Runping spoke, he quickly walked towards Zhao Zhaodi, taking her soft little hand and leading her towards Xu Hui's location. Upon approaching, Chen Runping warmly introduced her:
"This is Wu Caiyun, Captain Kong's wife, and also your eldest sister. This is Xu Hui, Lieutenant Hu's wife. This is Li Aiping, Major General Li Guoping's wife. Come, you two, introduce yourselves."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Caiyun quickly stopped what she was doing, first wiping her hands back and forth on her clean apron a few times, before smiling and extending her right hand to say:
"Sister-in-law, welcome to our unit! I've heard Xiao Chen mention you before, and seeing you today, you truly are a lovely and charming beauty!"
No wonder Xiao Chen's face beams with happiness whenever he talks about his wife. Now that I've finally seen her in person, I understand why!
Hearing Wu Caiyun's praise, Zhao Zhaodi blushed slightly and replied shyly:
"Sister Wu, you flatter me! This is my first time in the army. If I do anything wrong or don't understand something, I hope everyone can give me guidance and instruction!"
After speaking, Zhao Zhaodi extended her right hand and gently shook hands with Wu Caiyun.
"No problem, no problem! Our men are all on the front lines defending our country."
