Jiang Jinyao herself doesn't have this habit.

Lu Chen knocked on the door at that moment.

"It's me, open the door?"

After Liu Xinlan opened the door, Lu Chen said, "I brought you hot water, and these are the sheets and blankets for Jin Yao."

When Jiang Jinyao heard that it was prepared for her, she quickly stood up and walked over.

"Oh! You didn't prepare anything for me?" Liu Xinlan said, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Given your personality, do you need me to prepare anything?" Lu Chen had known Liu Xinlan for quite some time; everyone knew she was a clean freak, and she would definitely prepare her own sheets and blankets when traveling.

"It's biased. It's like I'm the only outsider here," Liu Xinlan said, feigning anger.

"What are you saying, Sister Xinlan? We're family." Jiang Jinyao happily took the sheets and blankets, and said, "Okay, don't be angry."

“Your sister Xinlan won’t be angry.” After saying that, Lu Chen turned around and went back to his car.

Looking at what Lu Chen and Shen Qiaoyue had prepared for her, Jiang Jinyao sighed, "It's so good to have family around. They've prepared everything for me! That guy An Lude didn't even think of this for me!"

“An Lude only found out you were going back to Beijing a few hours ago,” Liu Xinlan said to Jiang Jinyao with a smile.

Jiang Jinyao raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't care, he just doesn't care about me."

"You only felt a sense of loss after comparing yourself to Anlude because your brother was so considerate and gentle with Qiaoyue, helping her with everything!"

Liu Xinlan also understood. Jiang Jinyao wouldn't have thought this way before; it was only after spending so much time with Shen Qiaoyue that she started to have such thoughts.

Jiang Jinyao sighed and said to Liu Xinlan, "There's nothing I can do. My brother is such a good person, and seeing An Lude makes me feel resentful! That silly big guy!"

"You!"

Liu Xinlan was both amused and exasperated, and helped make the bed for Jiang Jinyao.

On Shen Qiaoyue's side, the work is almost done.

"Why don't you get some sleep?" Lu Chen sighed deeply as he watched Shen Qiaoyue finish making the bed.

Lu Chen returned from fetching water with four green military water bottles. He filled one bottle with hot water for each of the four people to avoid any trouble when fetching water later.

Shen Qiaoyue sat down and looked at Lu Chen, then sat on the edge of Lu Chen's bed. Lu Chen skillfully reached out and hugged Shen Qiaoyue, letting her lean against his chest.

This is the advantage of a deluxe sleeper berth: there are only two beds, and once the door is closed, there will be no outside disturbance.

"I miss my children so much. I wonder how they are doing!" Shen Qiaoyue thought about seeing her children soon, and wondered if they would even remember her as their mother. She sighed, "Do you think they will even recognize me as their mother?"

"No, you're the children's mother, how could you not recognize them?" Lu Chen comforted Shen Qiaoyue, "The children must be too excited to sleep, looking forward to us coming to find them."

Shen Qiaoyue was comforted again. Thinking of Xiao Nian on the phone, who kept saying he missed his mother, she looked up at Lu Chen and smiled, saying, "This is our first time going to Beijing for the New Year. I'm telling you, we're sure to meet a lot of Dad's old comrades."

“It’s alright, they will see me eventually. In their hearts, I am the only surviving child among those family members. They will definitely want to see me to comfort their longing.”

If Lu Chen hadn't gone to the north, he should have already come to the capital to meet them.

Going now will have the same effect.

In her previous letter, Shen Qiaoyue said that her mother's mother, Lu Chen's maternal grandmother, was still alive in the world. Lu Chen also wanted to see what his mother, the most important mother left in this world, looked like. Perhaps his mother and maternal grandmother looked the same.

“Grandma said you look a lot like Grandpa, and Xiao Nian looks a lot like Grandma. Recently, Xiao Nian and Dan Nian have been by Grandma's side, and her mind is slowly recovering.” Shen Qiaoyue thought that the old lady was probably better because she had relatives by her side and had something to care about.

Lu Chen, however, did not think so; he guessed it was a sign that he was about to leave this world.

Lu Chen did not respond to Shen Qiaoyue's words, but changed the subject and said, "Go to sleep, sleep for a while."

"I want you to hold me while I sleep, so you can keep me warm." Even when the train started moving, it still felt cold.

Lu Chen hugged Shen Qiaoyue tightly and picked up a piece of clothing to put on her.

"Are you still cold?" Lu Chen asked again.

Shen Qiaoyue said again, "I want to lie down. Will you lie down with me?"

"This bed is so small, you're lying here all by yourself." Lu Chen blushed instantly.

I don't know why, even though they're married, they're still as shy as when they first got married.

"Hold me in your arms, the two of us can sleep comfortably. It's so cold for me to sleep alone," Shen Qiaoyue said to Lu Chen in a soft, coquettish voice.

Lu Chen couldn't do anything with Shen Qiaoyue; he was completely swayed by her coquettishness.

"Okay, I'll sleep with you." Lu Chen had no choice but to agree to Shen Qiaoyue's request. Although he frowned, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Shen Qiaoyue lay down, staring at Lu Chen, having already made room for him, just waiting for him to lie down.

Lu Chen took off his coat and lay down, holding Shen Qiaoyue tightly.

"Can you sleep now?" Lu Chen coaxed Shen Qiaoyue to sleep in a fatherly tone.

Shen Qiaoyue obediently closed her eyes and leaned against Lu Chen's embrace.

Feeling completely safe in the arms of her beloved, Shen Qiaoyue quickly drifted off to sleep.

Lu Chen held Shen Qiaoyue in his arms all night. His arms were numb, and he knew that if he let go of Shen Qiaoyue, she would wake up. So he quietly held her all night.

Shen Qiaoyue nestled quietly in Lu Chen's arms and slept soundly until dawn.

Jiang Jinyao was different from Liu Xinlan; she ate two roast chickens in one night.

When Liu Xinlan took out the pom-poms to knit that evening, Jiang Jinyao also wanted to try. Fortunately, Liu Xinlan had brought an extra set of knitting tools, and the semi-skilled Liu Xinlan began to teach Jiang Jinyao how to knit.

I didn't fall asleep until four or five o'clock, when I was too sleepy to continue.

Lu Chen got up in the morning, went to fetch water and came back. The eggs from the evening were still edible at this time. After washing up, he left a cup of hot water to cool.

When Shen Qiaoyue woke up, she saw Lu Chen reading a book.

"Brother Chen, when did you get up?" Chen Qiaoyue got out of bed, rubbed her eyes, and asked Lu Chen.

"I woke up a while ago and read for a while. Do you want to wash up? I'll take you." Lu Chen took the clothes and helped Shen Qiaoyue put them on.

"I need to go to the toilet." Shen Qiaoyue hadn't gone to the toilet all night, and she woke up at this hour because she needed to urinate.

After getting up and putting on her shoes, she asked Lu Chen, "Where are the other two? Should we ask them to come along?"

"No need to wake them, they just fell asleep not long ago," Lu Chen explained to Shen Qiaoyue.

Shen Qiaoyue raised an eyebrow and asked, "You know that too?"

"This carriage isn't soundproof. The two of them knitted all night, chatting and laughing." Lu Chen's hearing was just too good; they could hear everything they were saying.

Shen Qiaoyue smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
