Chapter 55: Troublemakers in the 1980s 25: Confession

He leaned over again, and this time she didn't dodge. His lips touched hers easily. They were soft, even softer than she had imagined.

Why, after being married for so long, he couldn't recall any intimate scenes from the past. It seemed like he had never done anything like this to her. His heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Zhou Shengmo explored until both of them could no longer breathe, and then he finally let go.

"Actually..." Zhou Shengmo wanted to confess something in response to his wife's concerns: "Actually, when I was in the army, I had already..."

"Mom! My luggage is packed!"

With the help of his sister, Zhou Shian finally put the clothes in his luggage into the closet and sorted them out.

He had never done such hard work in his life. After finishing it, of course he wanted to show off to his father who had just taught him a lesson.

Zhou Shian pushed the door open and walked in without caring about anything.

Zhou Shengmo was nervously preparing to tell Shen Qian something very important when his son suddenly barged in. Shen Qian instantly sat up from his arms and turned to look at his son standing at the door.

Zhou Shengmo's arms felt empty, and his heart felt empty as well. There was a hint of anger in his eyes as he looked at his son.

"Didn't your grandma teach you etiquette? You should knock on the door before entering." Zhou Shengmo said coldly.

Zhou Shian felt really wronged: "Dad... I have completed all the work you asked me to do."

Chen Qian turned around and gave Zhou Shengmo a reproachful look, then looked at his son: "I see, Shi An, you did a great job. I'll go check on you tomorrow, okay? Now go to bed and remember to knock before you enter next time."

Zhou Shian was praised by his mother and left with satisfaction.

Shen Qian brushed her hair, stood up and closed the door.

Zhou Shengmo's voice rang out: "It's locked."

Shen Qian glanced at him. They never locked the door when they slept. She knew why Zhou Shengmo said that today, but she didn't want to fulfill his wish. She stood at the door and deliberately asked, "Why?"

Zhou Shengmo smiled: "What if you throw yourself on me and kiss me again? It would be bad if the kids saw you."

Chen Qian: "...You are quite good at turning the tables."

Being teased by him like this, the slight awkwardness between the two of them dissipated, and Shen Qian just closed the door without locking it.

Zhou Shengmo saw her actions but said nothing.

The lights were turned off and Shen Qian groped his way to lie down.

The two of them slept side by side, no one said anything, but the atmosphere was a little different from usual.

Shen Qian was hesitating whether to go to bed directly, but she felt that she didn't seem to be sleepy today. She suddenly remembered what Zhou Shengmo suddenly said before her son broke in, and she spoke to break the silence.

"What did you want to tell me before Shi An came in? What happened to you in the army?"

When Shen Qian spoke, she lay slightly to her side, and when he didn’t answer, she asked curiously, “Are you asleep?”

Zhou Shengmo still didn't answer immediately, but stretched out his arm and held Shen Qian in his arms again, then rested his chin on her head: "Nothing, go to sleep."

She didn't lock the door, and the meaning was very clear. It would be a bit ungrateful for him to bring up that matter again. He had already taken advantage of it tonight and kissed his beloved, which was enough for him to savor for a long time.

As for other things, with his current body, what else could he ask for?

However, the person in his arms' curiosity was aroused, and she refused to sleep quietly. She kept touching him here and there, and squirmed in his arms, and accidentally got him into a fire.

Zhou Shengmo opened his eyes helplessly and said, "I was just saying that when I was in the army, the higher-ups were promoting a planned business policy. As a key member and already having two children, I took the lead in getting sterilized. Male sterilization is safer and less damaging than female sterilization, so you don't have to worry about the third child. I won't let you have any more children."

Chen Qian was stunned. She had known before that Zhou Shengmo was a good man. This was evident from the fact that he was willing to give her all the compensation after he filed for divorce.

Even if he had no feelings for her at that time, he would still spare no effort to treat her well.

But she never expected that Zhou Shengmo would be willing to take the initiative to get a sterilization, which is not something every man is willing to do.

She was a little touched, but didn't know what to say, so she just snuggled in his arms, feeling his body warmth.

"What's wrong? You suddenly stopped talking..." Zhou Shengmo actually took a huge risk by bringing up this topic.

He knew that Shen Qian didn't dislike him, but that was limited to their daily interactions. As for the intimacy between husband and wife, he was not sure.

This cannot be forced. Even though many couples live together like this, he understands that this matter cannot be done reluctantly.

Just because she doesn't hate him doesn't mean she's willing to get close to him.

Today he was able to muster the courage to bring it up because she was willing to let him get closer, and they kissed. At this moment, he held her in his arms, but he dared not hold her too tightly. If she wanted to leave, she could just turn over and leave.

Zhou Shengmo's heart was beating like a drum, waiting for Shen Qian's reaction and her answer.

He suddenly regretted it. He shouldn't have mentioned it. He hadn't broken the window paper between them. Maybe they could have continued like this, but what if she refused? What if she got angry...

Zhou Shengmo felt a sudden surge of fear for no reason and tightened his grip on her.

"Can you just pretend I didn't say anything?"

The man's voice sounded like he was begging for mercy.

She didn't lock the door, wasn't that already the answer? What else did he want to confirm?

As long as she doesn't leave him, he shouldn't ask for anything else.

"Okay." Shen Qian replied.

"Um?"

Good? She said good? Good about what?

Oh, yes, when he said nothing, everything returned to the starting point.

Zhou Shengmo hurriedly adjusted his sleeping position and adjusted his mindset: "Then... go to sleep."

The person in his arms turned over and sat up.

Zhou Shengmo looked at the figure helplessly, like a child who had done something wrong.

She stood up, got out of bed, walked to the door, locked it, and then lay back down.

Zhou Shengmo was a little confused for a moment and had no idea what she wanted to do.

Fortunately, she lay back in his arms, and he quickly hugged her, as if he was holding a treasure he had lost and found again, his chest heaving and his body trembling uncontrollably.

"I say..." Shen Qian grabbed the collar of his pajamas and pulled him closer: "We can indeed do... something like if we can't have a third child."

Zhou Shengmo was still in a daze when the woman beside him turned over and pushed him down: "Just consider it a reward for your recent contribution in taking care of the kids."

…

The next day, Zhou Shian woke up and got up by himself, washed himself, and then waited obediently for his father to get up and make breakfast for him, and then went to the bedroom to check the results of his work last night.

Zhou Shengmo sat in a wheelchair with a serious look on his face.

"Well done, son. You've done a great job. Keep it up. Also..." He glanced at his son's messy desk and said, "If you want to keep your room tidy, don't buy too many things."

Zhou Shian's face flushed red: "Grandma bought all these toys for me..."

"Okay, let's go. I'll take you and Shi Wei to kindergarten."

Zhou Shian looked towards the door of his parents' bedroom: "Where's Mom? Why hasn't she gotten up yet?"

Zhou Shengmo: "Your mother was too tired yesterday. Let her rest more. I will take you to school."

Zhou Shian was reluctant to leave and lingered at home for a while. His father urged him again, and he finally left home reluctantly.

He still felt a little regretful in his heart because he didn't even get to see his mother's surprised expression.

Zhou Shengmo sent the two children to kindergarten and returned home. Shen Qian was still asleep, so he sat in a wheelchair and looked at her quietly. After a while, he lay back on the bed. The moment he held her in his arms, he felt that his life was complete.

The moment her soft body wrapped around him last night, the moment her soft and sweet lips kissed him, when their breath and saliva intertwined together, he felt the same way. His life was no longer flawed, he was complete.

He held her, holding everything in his heart. He was finally convinced that she would never leave him, even if his legs couldn't move, even if he wasn't good enough...

Chen Qian was awakened by the warmth of a hot embrace. Of course, he had just woken up and was still dazed when someone's lips kissed him again.

Shen Qian's hands scratched him randomly: "Stop it, I haven't brushed my teeth yet..."

"fine."

"I still have to send the kids to kindergarten..." She was dazed and didn't know what time she had slept.

"I've already sent them there."

Chen Qian reluctantly opened her eyes. Zhou Shengmo suppressed his throbbing, but he only restrained himself for a very short time before kissing her again.

"I worked very hard to take care of the kids today... Do you want to reward me too?" Zhou Shengmo asked for payment in a shameless manner.

Shen Qian: "No, my body is still sore."

"Then give me another kiss, please."

"Well... that's not good either." Shen Qian felt sleepy again when she heard that the children had been sent to kindergarten.

Last night... it was too late, and she was seriously sleep deprived. Of course, this couldn't be entirely blamed on him...

Shen Qian thought again, why can't we blame him if it's so useful?

Blame him!

Chen Qian fell into a deep sleep again, feeling sleepy. Zhou Shengmo stopped bothering her and just held the sleeping person in his arms, unwilling to let go for a moment.

If he still had any wishes, he only hoped that it could be like this every day, looking at her, guarding her, and hugging her. This would be enough for his life.

…

After Zhou Shian returned to his own home from his grandmother's house, he gradually changed for the bad habits he had developed from being spoiled. In this family, no one would allow him to be spoiled.

Zhou Shian felt a little aggrieved at first, and even suspected that his parents didn't love him.

But when he heard his father always say to his sister Zhou Shiwei, "Shi'an is your brother. You have to understand what a brother is. Your brother is your role model. If you are bullied by other kids in kindergarten, you can tell me and your mother, or tell your brother. He is someone you can rely on and trust, and he is your closest family member."

Shi Wei was still young and didn't understand what was being said. She just nodded in confusion.

But Shi An was shocked when he heard it.

It turns out that my brother is such a powerful person!
