1598 I’ll Always Support You

The villagers smiled with knowing smile when they saw these two.

"Tsk, being young is very enviable."

"Hahaha!"

"Let's go back and let this couple have their sweet time."

"Yes, yes."

Sheng Qi Rou's face reddened when she heard the aunties talked. She just missed her husband after not seeing him for a year or more because he was busy at the frontline. Even if there were occasional letters and also news from the frontline that Feng Ao Si was fine, she would still feel worry.

After all, she could only wait for him at home.

Praying that he would be fine when he was at the frontline. 

She had no way of knowing what would happen to him, so she could only hope for the best.

Thankfully, he's fine.

He's also back.

"Let's go home. I'll prepare a meal for you." Sheng Qi Rou released her arm and rushed to take her vegetable basket.

Feng Ao Si looked at Sheng Qi Rou and guessed that she was shy. He smiled lightly and always felt that the reason why his younger brother liked to tease him was because of his reaction. Now, he also liked to watch his wife's reaction.

He followed Sheng Qi Rou back home, asking about how she was doing when he was on the battlefield and so on.

There were not many things that happened, but Sheng Qi Rou happily told him everything he wanted to know.

"How about you?" Sheng Qi Rou asked when they were eating. Even though she had learned some etiquette, she still didn't want to bother with it when she was only with Feng Ao Si. They were husband and wife, why should they follow the annoying etiquette when they were alone?

She just wanted to have some sweet time with her husband!

"There are many things." Feng Ao Si began to tell about his journey and his battles. Of course, he glossed over many cruel things because he didn't want to tell her those things. The hardship and his injuries were also covered by him.

It was enough for her to know that he's fine.

"Zhang Xu Kingdom is finally defeated?" Sheng Qi Rou's eyes lit up when she heard that.

Feng Ao Si nodded. "Yes. They're defeated and before long, there will be some new reorganization or something like that."

Sheng Qi Rou nodded in understanding. Knowing that Feng Ao Si definitely didn't know any details, she would not ask about it either. Anyway, it was enough for her to know about the matters that would also be spread out.

The rest?

She was not interested either.

"So you come back this time because you have a break?" Sheng Qi Rou asked, her eyes lit up.

If he could stay with her for a long time, that would also be good. It was not like she didn't like his career, but as a wife, she would also want to stay with her husband more. They barely spend much time together because of his career so far.

"Half of it is because of the break." Feng Ao Si only have punishment and after his punishment was over, he would report to the training area to have more training. Perhaps, it would take some time before he could come back later on.

Sheng Qi Rou saw that there was something wrong on Feng Ao Si's expression and frowned. "What's wrong?"

She knew that Feng Ao Si was not the type to hide his thoughts and emotions. If he was troubled with something, he would need other people to talk with him. 

Because he was not smart enough to think about how to solve it by himself.

At the very least, Feng Ao Si also understood this, so he would ask others about what he was thinking and how to help in the problems he was facing.

"I was punished this time…" Feng Ao Si felt a bit uncomfortable to talk about this. On one side, his wife should be the one closest to him, the one whom he could talk about many things. On the other side, he had only known Sheng Qi Rou for a limited amount of time.

He was not entirely sure about asking her about this.

In the end, he only told the matter briefly about his conflict with his younger brother and how he was planning to go on afterwards.

Sheng Qi Rou listened carefully and nodded. "If you're not smart enough, you can directly use your subordinate while learning at your own pace. Your background is also part of your support, so you can use it freely."

Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes. "You're not disappointed?"

"Why should I be disappointed?" Sheng Qi Rou looked at her husband strangely. She was definitely not disappointed with her husband. Looking at Feng Ao Si staring at her dumbly, she laughed lightly. "I know that you're not so smart from the time my brother introduces you to me."

Feng Ao Si felt a bit awkward when he heard that. 

Ehm, it was not like he was the one determined his own intelligence. It has been with him from the time he was born and somehow developed this way.

"But not smart doesn't mean that you can't learn." Sheng Qi Rou chuckled. "You just learn slower than other people, but you can still do what other people do. There's no need to compare with others because you have your own advantage and disadvantage. Just go with your own pace and abilities."

Listening to Sheng Qi Rou's comfort, Feng Ao Si had to admit that he felt much better.

Different from others who would tease him or mock him, she was using a different approach. An approach that could only be used by her because she's his wife.

"My brother had introduced several people before you to me." Sheng Qi Rou shrugged. "They're definitely smarter, but they're not as cute as you." 

When she met with Feng Ao Si, her first impression was that he was cute even though he was tall and big.

Sheng Qi Rou looked at her husband and smiled sweetly. "So, don't worry so much. I'll always support you."
