Gu Jianing is indeed more prone to drowsiness in the late stages of pregnancy.

Especially after going through those things during the day, I was very tense. It was not until the evening when Xingxing and Sheng Zexi came back that I felt better.

Once the mind relaxes, it is easy to feel sleepy.

So, Gu Jianing really couldn't hold on at this moment.

"Okay, I'll leave the stars to you." After Sheng Zexi's repeated persuasion, Gu Jianing compromised.

Gu Jianing was trying hard to stay awake, but he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

Sheng Zexi held Xingxing in his arms, walked over, touched her head, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she didn't have a fever.

He covered her with the quilt again.

In fact, he was not only worried about Xingxing, but also about her.

Today, not only Xingxing was frightened, but Ningning was also frightened.

Especially she was pregnant.

How could this not make Sheng Zexi worried.

That's why he was so anxious to go home.

So, in the second half of the night, Sheng Zexi held Xingxing in his arms and coaxed him to see if his fever had subsided.

At the same time, he checked on Ningning and Yueyue from time to time.

Before I knew it, it was daybreak.

When Gu Jianing opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the stars lying on the bed.

She reached out and touched the little guy, and finally found that he didn't have a fever and didn't have nightmares anymore.

that is……

Where is her brother Xi?

Gu Jianing got up and followed the sound, then saw the back of a man busy in the kitchen.

At that moment, for some reason, Gu Jianing's eyes became warm.

She knew that the man must have stayed up all night last night, busy taking care of Xingxing.

Now that Xingxing was better, he went to the kitchen to prepare food for the three of them.

How lucky she is to meet Sheng Zexi.

She thought that she had to love this man a little more.

-

After Sheng Zexi's care that night, Xingxing's fever was completely healed by the daytime.

After the little guy recovered, he became more dependent on and close to his father.

Maybe when I was sick or had a nightmare, I realized in a daze that I was in my father's arms.

In the past, Xingxing’s attitude towards Sheng Zexi was always rather reserved, and Xingxing also didn’t seem to be a child who was very good at expressing her emotions.

As for Sheng Zexi, he admitted that he did treat his daughter and son differently.

He is very doting and close to his daughter.

As for his son, he is more serious in educating him.

So Xingxing is not that close to this father.

But after what happened this time and what happened last night.

Xingxing seemed to understand something. He understood that his father just had different ways of educating him and his sister.

However, Dad's love for him and Yueyue is the same.

When he is in danger, his father is also worried. When he is sick, his father will also stay up late to take care of him and give him a sense of security.

After thinking it through, Xingxing was completely relieved and felt much closer to her father Sheng Zexi.

Gu Jianing was happy to see this scene.

As Xingxing recovered from his illness, their rewards came down.

First of all, it is the reward for Sheng Zexi.

"You have deserved a great achievement!" Chen Han said happily.

"I was originally going to promote you, but I took into consideration that you would be transferred to the Jingshi Military Region and that it had not been many years since you were promoted to a regimental-level cadre."

"So, promotion will probably have to wait until you are transferred to the Jing City Military District."

Sheng Zexi nodded. He was quite satisfied with this reward.

In the past, Sheng Zexi might not have cared so much about rewards and promotions.

Even if I care a little, it's just to prove myself.

But now, he is increasingly aware that only a better and higher position can protect his family.

Especially, Ningning has a secret.

The position he wanted to climb to was one where he would be able to protect Ningning even if her secret was exposed.

so……

There is still a long way to go.

But he will try his best!

"By the way, I was going to give you some bonuses. Not only for you, but also for Xingxing and Yueyue, that is..."

"Funds are tight, so we can only choose to give land or houses."

"Here are a few plots of land and houses. They are either in Shanghai or Beijing. You can take them back and choose with your son and daughter. Each of you can choose one."

Chen Han gave Sheng Zexi a map with several circled places on it.

Sheng Zexi raised his eyebrows and accepted it.

He thought this was good. He remembered that his daughter Ningning liked land and houses more than money.

"By the way, there will be an award ceremony for this incident. You, Xingxing, Yueyue, Lei Ting, Hongying and the others will all be included in the award ceremony. Your family is the most important, so you must bring them along when the time comes."

"Okay." Sheng Zexi agreed.

"There is one more thing..." Chen Han paused and said, "Zexi, have your Amber's pups considered becoming military dogs?"

Sheng Zexi remained silent and looked at him.

"We have all seen the performance of your dogs this time. They are really amazing and are very suitable to be military dogs."

"Really, it's a shame not to be a military dog."

"If they become military dogs, I guarantee they will perform very well in the future."

"You don't know how many soldiers in our military region are jealous of Lei Ting and his men."

Sheng Zexi pursed his lips, "I'm not sure about this, I have to go back and ask them."

"Okay, okay, go ask, go ask, I'm waiting for your reply."

-

So, that night, after dinner, Sheng Zexi told Gu Jianing about this.

Gu Jianing thought for a moment and said, "I can't make the decision on my own. I have to ask Amber and her children."

Gu Jianing is not the kind of person who likes to force things on others, even if the other person is a dog.

Everyone's wishes are the most important.

"Okay, then go ask."

So, Gu Jianing came to the yard.

In the yard, Amber and her four cubs had just finished their meal.

Seeing Gu Jianing calling her, Amber walked over with the children.

"Sister, is there something wrong?" Amber asked.

"Well, something is wrong!"

Gu Jianing told the military district about inviting Lei Ting and four other cubs to serve as military dogs.

"… This depends on your own wishes. Brother Xi and I will not force you."

"Even if we don't become military dogs, it's good for our family to live together like this."

Lei Ting, Hongying and the others were a little agitated when they heard that the military district invited them to be military dogs.

"Quiet!" Amber yelled.

The cubs immediately quieted down.

Amber looked at Gu Jianing and said, "Sister, please give us one night to think about it. I will tell you the answer tomorrow, okay?"

"Of course." Gu Jianing touched Amber's hair, "No matter what decision you make in the end, I will support it."

"Yeah." Amber nodded.
