Chapter 440 Gift
"Miss Jiang."
Four aunts stood at the head of the bed, rubbing their hands and taking turns.
"Ms. Jiang, please be kind and take a few steps. If we don't clock in today, we won't get our bonus this month."
"Yes, Miss Jiang, you are kind and beautiful. Just get up and take a few steps. It's very easy."
Jiang Huashan said nothing. She closed her eyes and pulled out a bank card from under her pillow. "How much is your bonus? I'll double it."
"..."
The four of them fell silent.
This was her own leg. She was just walking a few steps in the yard. Why did it act like it was going to kill her?
How can there be such a lazy person in the world?
If it were Zhang Ru, she would have picked Jiang Huashan up from the bed long ago, but the four aunts had no way to do anything and could only stare at each other.
"What's going on? What are you all doing here?"
Shen Jiao was wearing a dark purple cheongsam and a string of Tahitian black pearls around her neck that shone brighter than a lightbulb. The Queen walked in with great momentum, holding an exquisite pink gift box in her arms.
The aunts seemed to have seen a savior, and they all looked at the person lying peacefully on the bed, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
"Are you lazy again?" Jiang Huashan was already well-known for his laziness in Shen Garden, so Shen Jiao was not surprised. "Okay, if you don't want to practice, then don't practice. It won't cost you another day."
Jiang Huashan immediately sat up from the bed, "Did you hear that? One day is not a big deal."
"..."
The problem is that you say it every day.
But since the queen had spoken, the aunts did not dare to object and quietly left the room.
"How are you? Are you feeling better?" Shen Jiao sat down beside the bed and stared at her up and down.
Jiang Huashan nodded. "Much better. If I had known it would be so troublesome to remove the bandage, I would have done it later."
"You're talking nonsense again. You're so unruly." Shen Jiao glanced at her, her face becoming more serious as she thought of something. "Are you used to living here without Zhang Ru?"
Jiang Huashan smiled and said in a normal tone, "I'm used to it."
Shen Jiao touched her head and said, "If you are not used to it, don't force yourself. I will find the person back for you."
Jiang Huashan shook her head, heartlessly, "No need, it's fine like this now."
Shen Jiao glanced at her and didn't continue the topic. She handed the box in her arms to her.
"What is this? Why is there a gift?" Jiang Huashan looked curious.
Shen Jiao lifted her hair and said, "I've been busy recently so I haven't had time to prepare for your and Suer's graduation ceremony."
"Open it and see if you like it?"
Jiang Huashan felt warm in her heart. She was worthy of being the queen. No matter what time, Shen Jiao always gave her the most complete sense of ceremony.
The ribbon was black lace with shining gold threads. As expected, Queen Shen’s gifts were always the most impressive.
"luv't."
She responded with a smile, looking expectant.
The moment the box was opened, the smile on Jiang Huashan's lips froze for a second.
This is something I like to say in a sloppy way.
"..."
Her eyelids twitched, and she slammed the box shut, her cheeks flushed.
"This...what is this?"
Shen Jiao's expression was indifferent. "Why such a big reaction? But at least she's better than Suir. That silly girl was so scared that she threw her things away. I really don't know who she looks like."
"..." Jiang Huashan's mouth twitched. If she hadn't been clumsy, she would have thrown it out just now.
Shen Jiao, "You are all grown up now. You will eventually see the world as it is meant to be. Teacher Meng taught you all theoretical knowledge. Talking on paper is not as effective as practical experience."
"Mom knows you little girls are shy. These are just basic little things that can help you become more familiar with your body. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Jiang Huashan awkwardly gripped the ground with his toes, chuckled twice, and tactically retreated.
The little bear's tail under the pillow was suddenly squeezed by external force and slightly dented.
"Why are you hiding? Look at how little you can do?" Shen Jiao frowned, quite dissatisfied. "You've been learning from Xiao Meng for so long, don't you even know how to play with these little toys?"
“…Hehe…Hehe…” Jiang Huashan gave an awkward but polite smile.
Shen Jiao was so disappointed that she said, "If you can't even do this, how can you play with men in the future?"
"!?" Jiang Huashan was shocked. "I... I..."
"What am I?"
Jiang Huashan held her breath and said, "I didn't think..."
Shen Jiao, "Then think about it now."
Jiang Huashan, “…”
Shen Jiao finally realized she was too anxious and cleared her throat. "Mom knows little girls are naturally shy when it comes to love, but I don't want my daughter to be like that. This kind of mentality can easily lead you to ignore your own physical needs, or even to not dare to express your desires in an intimate relationship and just blindly obey others."
"Shanshan, you are so beautiful. There will definitely be many people coveting you in the future. Mommy can't remind you every time to protect yourself, because making mistakes is the only way for you to understand life, but... there are some mistakes that girls can't make. Because of their different physiological structures, the price they pay is often much more tragic. Lanlan is the best example."
Jiang Huashan's face showed a bit more caution.
A girl as gifted as Xiao Lanlan, after being toyed with, would only think of pretending to be pregnant to keep the man's heart. It can be seen that there are still many girls in this world who are not clear-headed enough.
Shen Jiao touched her head and said, "As a mother, I am always worried that the person who made you grow up overnight is not worthy of your kindness. Therefore, I always hope that you can be more fully prepared before welcoming your growth."
"I gave you these toys not because I wanted you to become a certain kind of person, but because I wanted you to understand who you really are. If a girl wants to understand herself, the first step is to understand her body. I don't want you to be bound by the world and objectified by rules like I was when I was young. I hope you can enjoy the world equally with the men in power, instead of being labeled a slut even for pleasing yourself."
"After saying so much, Mom just wants to tell you that no matter what time, your own feelings are the most important. If either your body or your mind is uncomfortable, don't force it."
Jiang Huashan was slightly moved.
Somehow, she suddenly remembered the night when she was entangled with Shen Guiling. She was originally a little annoyed and angry at herself for falling into Shen Guiling's trap, but now it seems that her annoyance was actually mixed with worldly prejudice.
She subconsciously believed that girls should be reserved, and that honest reactions from her body were embarrassing. But why should she be reserved? Why should she feel embarrassed? She had already unconsciously set a rule for herself.
She seemed to suddenly understand and smiled, "I've got that in mind. Don't worry, I won't force myself."
Fu Sui'er was a stubborn person who would never learn anything. Shen Jiao was afraid that Jiang Huashan would also be stubborn. Seeing that she was so obedient, her eyes were full of relief.
"Now that you understand my mother's good intentions, I'm relieved. Tomorrow, I'll arrange for Xiao Meng to come and give you a lesson. You can play with those things as you like. If you don't like them, you can change them at any time."
The corners of Jiang Huashan's mouth twitched. Although she understood it, she had not yet progressed to the stage of putting it into practice.
"Um... should we wait until my injury heals? Yeah! My hands and feet are not very convenient right now."
Shen Jiao looked like someone who had seen a lot. "What's so inconvenient about it? Everything is fully automatic now."
"..."
Jiang Huashan held her forehead with her hand, her toes hidden under the quilt were so tense that they were almost cramping.

Meanwhile in South Bay.
The sky is high and the sea is vast, the lake is sprinkled with golden fragments, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color.
Shen Guiling held the railing with both hands, tapping the mast with his fingertips from time to time.
"Shen Guiling."
Suddenly, an angry voice came from behind.
Shen Guiling lowered his head, took off his Bluetooth headset and put it in his pocket, then stood at attention and saluted the other party.
"Sir."
The man was of medium build, with three-star medals pinned to his shoulder straps. He looked at Shen Guiling with dissatisfaction in his eyes. "Did I say the training was over? You left the team without permission. Do you still respect me? Or do you treat the South Bay Fleet like a resort, where you can come and go as you please?"
Shen Guiling, "Report, I have already..."
"I won't listen to any explanations. In my training camp, even if you have completed your mission, you must get the permission of the superior before leaving!"
"No matter what your background is, this is the South Bay waters. You are now in the South Bay Fleet and must obey my orders unconditionally!"
Shen Guiling lowered his eyes and did not respond.
The man gave him a cold look and said, "You broke the camp rules, and you will do 2000 push-ups on the spot."
Shen Guiling frowned, was silent for a moment, and bent down to support himself on the ground.
"Count out loud,"
"one two Three……"
"Are you a man? Louder!"
"Four, five..."
"Recount."
Shen Guiling had no expression on his face. "One, two, three..."
The man crossed his arms and looked up at the blazing sun on the sea. "Be more regular and don't slack off!"
The deck was filled with steam, and the sweat evaporated immediately after it fell.
A group of marines had just returned from a training base. They were chatting and laughing, but when they suddenly saw the scene on the deck, they immediately restrained their expressions, pretended not to know, and took a detour to avoid it.
"What's wrong with Lao He? Why is he staring at that new recruit?"
"You don't know this, do you? Originally, the He family had been assigned the spot to accompany the army this time, but who knew a new recruit would suddenly appear and squeeze out the He family's spot? Coincidentally, he was assigned to our battalion. And this new recruit is quite capable. He always performs very well in practical exercises. Old He has no way to deal with him. Now that we finally have the chance, we have to teach him a lesson."
"Isn't this kid quite alert? How could he make such a low-level mistake and actually dare to leave the team early during group training?"
"Who knows, he suddenly looked unhappy and rushed out, and no one could stop him."
"In such hot weather, I'm afraid the pretty boy will lose some skin."
"I think you're just jealous of his good looks. But then again, is it really okay for Old He to do this? This kid can replace the He family's quota, so he must be from a prominent family. Isn't Old He afraid of offending others?"
"Even a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. This is the South Bay waters. If the weak young master of Whale Harbor wants to gain a firm foothold, he must at least stand up straight first."
On the deck, Shen Guiling was sweating profusely, but there was still no expression on his face.

Country A border, Dune Camp.
Commander's room.
The man had gray hair on his temples and was blind in his right eye. He held a teacup in one hand and stared intently at the huge sand table in front of him.
I was watching intently when there was a knock on the door.
"Report."
Commander Bai retracted his gaze, walked to the desk with a teacup in hand, and said, "Come in."
Shen Lanxi, wearing a camouflage military uniform, walked up to the man and saluted him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"commander."
Commander Bai's expression was gentle. "What's the matter with you coming to me at this time?"
Shen Lanxi nodded. "The captain just issued a list of those crossing the border this time, and my name was deleted. I heard that this was your intention?"
Commander Bai raised an eyebrow and lowered his head to blow on the tea stems. "Yes, this mission is urgent, and the higher-ups asked for no new recruits, so even if it's you, I can't be partial."
Shen Lanxi, "I asked the captain. They don't want newcomers for the border mission because they're worried they won't be able to come back. But I finished in the top ten in the overall training this time, so according to the rules of the military camp, I've already met the standards for the mission."
Commander Bai had a headache and put down his teacup. "Lan Xi, this mission is extremely dangerous. This is your first time in the 313th Division. You should learn more and see more. Take my advice. Don't rush things. There will always be opportunities in the future."
Shen Lanxi was silent for a moment, nodded, stood at attention and saluted, then turned and walked out.
After leaving the command room, Gao Zhi emerged from somewhere.
"Master, what do you think? Did the old man agree?"
Shen Lanxi had no expression on her face and simply ignored him and walked forward.
Gao Zhi sighed and shook his head. "What did I say? You're the only child of the eldest branch of the Shen family. Who would dare to take such a risk and let you cross the border? Young Master, you haven't participated in actual combat, so you don't know. Those mercenaries are so ruthless and murderous. They are not on the same level as the petty thieves back home."
Shen Lanxi paused and looked coldly at the soldiers on the playground. They were ready to go and jumped onto the military pickup trucks in an orderly manner.
Seeing that he still refused to give up, Gao Zhi lazily said, "Master, go back. They have no choice but to risk their lives to escape. But you are different. Why would a lion share food with a wolf cub?"
For Shen Lanxi, he wanted to take on the border mission simply to gain experience and grow quickly, but others were different. In addition to their military consciousness, this battle was also the rope of their destiny for them to climb up.
Shen Lanxi's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Gao Zhi seriously, "You're right, I was too impatient."
Ever since he knew his grandfather's intentions, he has always worried that he cannot inherit the glory of his father's generation. He wishes he could grow up overnight, but the more he wants to prove that he has grown up, the more immature he becomes.
He couldn't rush things.
*
By the end of August, the new wall by the side door was already covered with roses.
"Squeak"
When Shen Zhi pushed open the gate, the fragrance of flowers hit him in the face.
Jiang Huashan was lying in the corridor with his eyes closed, resting, when he suddenly heard a noise. He struggled to sit up like a frightened bird, reacted quickly, supported himself with the crutches on both sides, and stood up tremblingly.
"Teacher Meng, you came at an inopportune time. I..."
Realizing she had recognized the wrong person, Jiang Huashan lazily sat back down, "Butler Shen, why is it you?"
Shen Zhi's expression was complicated. "Ms. Jiang, Ms. Fang is here. The old man wants you to go to the main hall to talk."
