[Military marriage + substitute marriage + yandere and rough man + the only favorite of the era + following the army on the island]
Shen Lusui was sold by his parents.
The purpose of retrieving her for eighteen years was not to make amends, but to allow her to marry an "old and rough island officer" for her adopted daughter.
Wearing a borrowed red cotton-padded jacket, she took a three-day boat trip to the lonely island in the South China Sea.
The moment I opened the door——
Standing behind the door was a man about 1.88 Meters tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. His military uniform was buttoned to the top button and there was a layer of green stubble on his chin.
He dragged her into the house, slammed the door panel, grabbed her waist with his big hands, and his voice was as hoarse as sandpaper rubbing against iron:
"Lu Sui, you are finally here."
Shen Lusui: "... Did you admit the wrong person?"
The man lowered his head and pressed it against her forehead, his breath making her ears red:
"I didn't admit it. I've been waiting for you for ten years - and I didn't admit it even a day."
Later, Shen Lusui found out:
This "old and rough officer" by everyone is the youngest regiment-level cadre in the entire military region.
He has great military exploits, is decisive in killing, and speaks the truth.
Only for her——
Don't let her leave even half a step at night. My eyes followed her during the day. Whoever says one more word to her will be punished that night...
Shen Lusui punched his chest: "What's wrong with you!"
Huo Chenye took her back into his arms, put his chin on top of her head, and said in a muffled voice:
"I think what you're thinking. It's something that can't be cured."
