Xiao Jing lowered her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry as she ate the rice in her bowl. She more or less understood what was going on.
Shen Chengfeng stood in the night breeze and looked at the desolate street in front of him. His face was emotionless as he asked, "How did mother know?"
"Don"t ask us how we knew. Are you really ready this time?"
Shen Tian looked at his son"s lonely back. Ever since he was young, he had been the most rea.s.suring one. The one who worried the most was him, and he felt heartache.
Shen Chengfeng turned around, "Do I look like someone who would joke around with his feelings?"
Shen Tian nodded his head with a smile. "It"s good that you know your limits. However, cough, after all, we are soldiers. We need to report our marriage for that sort of thing."
"I know."
"Why don"t you tell the girl that we should take the time to meet the two families?"
"It"s not time yet."
Shen Tianyi frowned, "Why is it not the right time?"
You"ve already prepared that thing, why isn"t it time yet?
"Could it be that you want to cook rice and cook rice first before getting married?"
"Don"t worry, I know how to prioritize matters."
Shen Tian shook his head. "We can"t stop your child from becoming anxious and cold. It"s of no use if we"re anxious, but she"s a pure girl. You can"t bully her like this."
"Father, have you thought about what kind of daughter-in-law I will give you?"
Shen Chengfeng stared intently at his father"s face with sincerity and seriousness.
Shen Tian could not help but become nervous after seeing his serious gaze. He hurriedly said, "Could it be that there"s a flaw in that aspect?"
Shen Tianyi sighed, "That"s true. To be able to be so loyal to you, you might not necessarily be a normal child."
"Father, you"re exaggerating. She"s very healthy, very normal."
Shen Chengfeng said.
Shen Tianyi smiled. "Then why do you ask me that?"
"Is your daughter-in-law like Captain Liu or your mother?"
"Is there no other choice?"
"You can tell me your opinion."
Shen Tian placed his hands in his pockets, and said with a faint smile, "Of course, if you had a warm personality, Miss Liu would be beautiful, but her personality would be too cold. Look at how your big brother has been chasing after her for several years, but he still hasn"t managed to warm her up. Next up is her temper. She has to be a bit more gentle, so don"t talk about things that can be said with your mother"s fists."
"Yes, she is very gentle and treats people very well."
Shen Chengfeng couldn"t help smiling.
"I don"t have high requirements for looks. As long as we can see, our family is made up of soldiers. It"s not like those cultured scholars don"t pay attention to those stunning beauties."
"She"s beautiful."
Shen Tian looked at his son, who was smiling unrestrainedly in front of him, and was stunned. "It seems that you really like this young lady."
"Just like when you met your mother. You knew that there were tigers on the mountain, so you chose to take her along. Even if your grandfather beat you out, you would still shamelessly climb over the wall and elope with your mother."
"Now that you put it this way, I want to see this lady more and more. Why don"t you go back and discuss it with her. How about we set a date for the wedding?"
Shen Tiancheng asked while he was hot.
However, Shen Chengfeng silently turned around and looked at the back of Xiao Jing, who was having a meal in the restaurant. He casually asked, "Father, what do you think about Xiao Jing?"
Shen One did not understand the reason for his question, but said it casually as well, "Not bad. The brothers of the Xiao family all have irritable tempers, but he is a lot gentler. It is very possible that he is not the reason for this."
"You are right, she is much gentler than those rough guys of Xiao Zheng"s."
After Xiao Jing finished eating, she turned around and happened to meet his eyes. Their eyes met, and she smiled.
Shen Chengfeng pushed open the gla.s.s door and said, "It"s time for me to return to the camp. If there"s anything I need to do, I"ll talk about it when I get home in two days."
Chen Yu didn"t press her. He turned around and prepared to board the car, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did he have to ask his opinion of Xiao Jing?
Could it be that he wanted to find one or two women for Xiao Jing?
This child was completely enlightened.
Xiao Jing put on her coat and walked out of the restaurant. The surroundings were completely quiet.
Shen Chengfeng took off his coat and draped it over her, "Let"s go."
"Captain."
Xiao Jing instinctively called out softly.
"Yes, I"m here."
Shen Chengfeng turned around.
Xiao Jing moved closer and kissed him on the cheek. She then ran to the side of the road like a cat stealing food. Unfortunately, she was too nervous and directly b.u.mped into the signboard.
"Clang!" She fell to the ground, stunned.
Shen Chengfeng squatted in front of her and rubbed his reddened forehead, "Why don"t you know the way?"
Xiao Jing shyly lowered her head, "I was careless."
"Stand up."
Shen Chengfeng held her hand, "It"s too late today, so I won"t be going back."
"Yes, captain"
Xiao Jing followed closely behind him.
In the middle of the night, the two silhouettes were illuminated by the street lights.
The car headed out of the city.
Xiao Jing got off the car and glanced at the three-story villa in front of her. Wasn"t this the private residence that the captain brought her to last time?
Shen Chengfeng pressed down on the pa.s.sword and said seriously, "I deliberately got someone to clean it up two days ago."
The room was lit, and the pure white decor seemed immaculate.
Xiao Jing stood at the entrance and put on a pair of slippers. She walked along a four meter long corridor and entered the living room.
There were only two sofas in the living room. Other than that, everything else was empty.
Shen Chengfeng strode to the window and drew the curtains. He turned on the heat within the room and the air gradually rose.
Xiao Jing reached out her hand to grab his waist, resting her head on his back, muttering to herself, "Captain, you are really nice to me."
Shen Chengfeng turned around and gently stroked her head, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It"s getting late, why don"t you take a shower? I"ll go clean up the guest room."
Xiao Jing, on the other hand, refused to let go. "I want to hug you for a while longer."
Shen Chengfeng picked her up and said, "I have to rush back tomorrow morning. It"s time to wash and sleep."
Xiao Jing put her hands around his neck and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Captain is tired?"
"Time to sleep."
Shen Chengfeng placed her in front of the bathroom, "There"s a clean bathrobe in the closet."
Xiao Jing walked into the bathroom with a flowery smile on her face. She opened the shower and washed it in a very simple manner.
A single man and woman, how could one fail to live up to the light of spring at a time like this?
Xiao Jing hummed as she put on her bathrobe, picked up a withered rose from the washstand, and opened the bathroom door. The steam behind her instantly spilled out, and she leaned against the door with one hand while holding the rose in her mouth. Her eyes were filled with a little bit of confusion, and her other intention was to land on the male body that walked past.
Shen Chengfeng ignored the girl"s bright eyes and opened the fridge. He took out two bottles of water and poured them into the kettle.
Xiao Jing clenched her teeth. She knew that he was deliberately ignoring her, so she raised her leg high up in the air and closed the bathroom door.
Shen Chengfeng glanced in the direction of the woman and said in a lukewarm tone, "After you"re done was.h.i.+ng up, go to bed. I"ll boil some water and then come back."
Xiao Jing leaned against the bar counter, her body deliberately leaning forward. Her fingertips lightly hooked onto the rose petals as she said with a smile, "Captain, tonight"s weather is pretty good. I watch the night and am very suitable for doing something meaningful."
"So?"
Xiao Jing blinked, "Captain, do you want a drink?"
"Do you think we can have a drink in the morning?"
"Huh?"
"It"s fine if you don"t want to drink. We can chat."
Xiao Jing walked in front of him and crooked her finger at his face.
Shen Chengfeng grabbed her hand and twisted her back. He then directly turned her back to him and threw her into the room.
Yes, into the room.
Xiao Jing laid on the ground. Although the thick carpet didn"t hurt, she could still hear her own heartbroken voice. The captain was still able to remain calm even in the face of such beauty. He really was a true man.
She sat up straight like a carp and rested her hands on her knees. It seemed like using beauties to seduce the captain was unreliable.
"Knock, knock."
Shen Chengfeng pushed open the crack on the door and was only able to open a small crack where a bottle of milk could be placed. He said, "If you can"t sleep, you can have a cup of milk before sleeping."
He closed the door and locked it.
Xiao Jing rushed over as if she had just woken up from a dream. She pulled on the door lock in disbelief. It was indeed locked.
When Shen Chengfeng heard the cracking sounds coming from behind him, he could not help but shake his head. What a disobedient little soldier.
Xiao Jing gave up. The team leader was really determined to take advantage of her, afraid that she wouldn"t notice and make him stronger.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Shen Chengfeng, who had just finished his shower, heard the crackling sounds coming from outside the window as he alertly pulled open the curtains.
Under Yue Ye, a head was lying on the gla.s.s window. When it saw Shen Chengfeng, it started to knock even more excitedly.
Shen Chengfeng sighed and opened the window helplessly.
Xiao Jing rolled down from the window and landed smoothly on the ground. She then clapped her hands in satisfaction.
Shen Chengfeng walked towards the bedroom with a heavy tone, "I"ve already said that I"ll sleep. Xiao Jing, haven"t I given you too many privileges recently that you"ll soon forget that you"re just a child —"
Xiao Jing leaped in front of Shen Chengfeng, taking advantage of the latter"s surprise attack to bite his mouth, successfully stopping his benevolent and righteous speech.
Shen Chengfeng pulled her head away and said seriously, "Did you forget that I"m a normal man?"
Xiao Jing nodded affirmatively. "Captain, aside from being your soldier, I"m also your legal wife. We have proof, so why do I look like a thief in your eyes?"
"Not right now, understand?"
Shen Chengfeng opened the door to the master bedroom and tried to stuff the girl inside again.
Xiao Jing stood in front of him, "Captain, what"s wrong with you?"
"I don"t want you to take too much medicine."
"I can take no medicine."
Xiao Jing held his hand, speaking sincerely, "I want to get pregnant."
Shen Chengfeng grabbed her arm and threw her into the room.
Her eyes stared at the wall in front of her as she bit her lips. As expected, this was not a good idea, but she should be pregnant. After thinking carefully about what General Shen Chengyi said, it made a lot of sense and she should give it a try.
Just as Shen Chengfeng locked the door, he heard another loud bang from the bedroom behind him.
Then the closed door was pried open.
Xiao Jing squeezed out half of her head and grinned, revealing a standard smile with eight teeth. "I can guarantee that I won"t touch you. Captain, can"t you just let me sleep next to you?"
She decided to use roundabout tactics.
Shen Chengfeng stuffed her head in, "Sleep."
Xiao Jing curled her lips, "I am your loyal little soldier, I promise that I won"t do anything to harm you."
"I don"t want to repeat it a third time. Go to sleep."
"Captain, I really won"t do anything rash."
"As I said, it"s not the right time right now. The wound on your back hasn"t healed yet, and you"ve taken too much medicine. Do you understand?"
"I said I don"t need to take any medicine."
"Xiao Jing."
Shen Chengfeng emphasized, "I have to take my medicine."
"Captain."
Xiao Jing hesitated before she spoke, "General Shen Chengyi told me a suggestion. I think we should give it a try."
Shen Chengfeng held her hand tightly. He did not want to hear this suggestion, so he forcefully pushed her into the room.
Just like that, Xiao Jing lied in front of the door and said loudly, "Captain, do you really want to give me only two years?"
Shen Chengfeng froze.
Xiao Jing opened the door, her eyes reddened. "Your blood has already started to corrode. Could it be that you really want to die cleanly after two years?"
"Xiao Jing, I already said that I will find a way."
"I don"t want to wait for your methods that don"t know when they will appear. All I know is that there"s a good way right now."
Xiao Jing carefully grabbed his hand, preparing to use her emotions to argue with him.
Shen Chengfeng gently stroked her face, "This method is not advisable."
"Leader, regardless of whether the method is useful or not, I want to give it a try. What I want is your life, not just a short two years."
Xiao Jing hugged his waist and nestled against his chest.
Shen Chengfeng could feel her approach. The moment he lowered his head, her facial features were already within reach.
Xiao Jing held his face, touching his skin lightly and fearfully. She was afraid that if the person in front of her didn"t pay attention, she would push him away again.
How could you waste your time in the middle of the night?
The warm wind was blowing silently. She had already untied his s.h.i.+rt and the ambiguity in it was like a pink bubble bursting open in the air. Shen Chengfeng did not care about anything else.
"Why are the lights on here?"
The woman"s voice sounded from the entrance.
"BOOM!"
Shen Chengfeng quickly pushed Xiao Jing into the bedroom.
Yan Jun stared at his son, who was still in a stiff position, in astonishment. He asked with a frown, "When did you return?"
"It"s too late to go back."
Shen Chengfeng walked into the living room with a normal expression.
Yan Jun covered her mouth and coughed when she saw his clothes open. "I"ve finished wearing my clothes."
Shen Chengfeng did not mind and buckled it, "I just finished my shower, why are you here?"
"Come here and take a look. We need to clean this place up, but since it"s so clean, did you clean it yourself?"
Yan Jun put down the leather wallet and walked around the room twice. When he heard the rustling sound in the direction of the bedroom, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. "Is this really a hidden treasure?"
Shen Chengfeng immediately poured cold water on her, "You"re overthinking it, that"s Xiao Jing."
Yan Jun sat back on the sofa awkwardly. "I thought that you had thought it through and brought the little girl here for a night."
"I"ll take it to the hotel."
Yan Jun smacked his lips and said, "Alright, until your second brother has figured it out, you better behave yourself and keep your distance."
Shen Chengfeng"s hand which was pouring the water suddenly stopped. He subconsciously looked at his mother and after confirming that she did not suspect anything, he handed the warm water to her, "Now that this place is clean, you can go back now."
"No rush, no rush."
Yan Jun held the cup of water with both hands. With a slight frown, she asked, "What do you think your grandmother is doing here at this time?"
"Probably spent time in the mountains."
Shen Chengfeng said while avoiding the main issue.
"No, from the looks of it, she doesn"t seem like it. I"m afraid that there"s something important that she came back on purpose, and she doesn"t even dare to say anything."
"I see that this time, my grandma has become much gentler when she returns."
"That"s hard to say. Forget it, as a daughter-in-law, I can"t guess what she"s thinking. Tell your family"s young lady. With the old lady"s ability, it"ll only take her a minute to find out. Don"t be scared off before entering the house."
"I know the seriousness of the matter."
"It"s too late tonight. I"ll stay here for the night. I remember that you have a bed in this guest room, so you should squeeze in with Xiao Jing."
With that, Yan Jun walked straight into the guest room and locked the door with a "kacha" sound. It was obvious that she was afraid that her son would react and invite her out.
Seeing that she had no other choice but to enter the master bedroom, she put her right hand on her waist, her left hand hanging on the wall, and her mouth was still hanging that withered rose. Her mouth had a charming smile, and she raised her head, full of love.
Shen Chengfeng stepped forward and hugged her.
Xiao Jing hooked her arm around his neck. "Captain."
"Yes, I"m here."
Overstatement -
Hahaha, this was definitely the rhythm of steamed buns.
