Chapter 145 Do I have a good figure?
Lu Zhenyu touched the scar on Shen Jingsi's wrist with her fingertips and stretched out her left hand.
Even their lengths are about the same, except his is deeper and hers is shallower.
"I knew it! Why don't you even take your watch off when you sleep? It's not that you're afraid I'll steal your watch, it's that you're afraid I'll see it."
Lu Zhenyu reached out and pinched the man's sleeping cheek, her smile bitter and helpless.
"You're such a fool. Sometimes I think you're a grown man, with guts and resources, and you even know you can't say you're cold because you're a man. But other times I think you're like a child, silly and stubborn."
The temperature in the barracks dropped, my eyes welled up with tears, and my eyeballs felt a little cold.
Lu Zhenyu picked up the burning hot hand, rubbed her cheek against the palm, and quietly looked at the sleeping person. "Do you know that you talked in your sleep that night at my house? Not only did you talk, but you talked all night long."
Saying 'I'm sorry, Zhenzhen'
'I deserve to die, I'm the one who deserves to die.'
'Zhenzhen, I miss you so much. I can't take it anymore. Can you hug me one more time?'
Wiping away the moisture from the corner of her eyes with her fingertips, Lu Zhenyu got up, took off her military overcoat, got into bed, and turned to pull the person into her arms.
She leaned her head against the bedpost, one hand stroking Shen Jingsi's sweat-dampened forehead, her fingertips gently caressing his cheek against her chest.
"Get some sleep. This time, Zhenzhen will hold you."
Outside the barracks, snow fell heavily, and inside, it was eerily quiet. The charcoal fire in the stove burned brighter and brighter, occasionally punctuated by a loud pop.
And so, the man who had missed his wife for four years slept soundly for three whole days in the embrace he had longed for.
When I woke up again, although I had lost weight, my energy was visibly much better.
As she drifted off into a blissful dream, her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and the next second her gaze focused on the face above her head, the smile on her lips vanished instantly.
"Holy crap!" The captain was also startled by the sudden opening of those eyes.
She lunged back to hug Shi Yiqiao, who was leaning against her, but was pushed away by the girl's elbow.
"Damn it, you murdered your ex-boyfriend!"
Too lazy to pay him any attention, Shi Yiqiao crossed his arms and came to the bedside. "Awake?"
The first thing she saw when someone opened their eyes was look around. She shook her head helplessly, "Don't look, they're not here."
Having not spoken for a long time, Shen Jingsi swallowed hard, his throat sticky. "Where did she go?"
Shi Yiqiao smiled and said, "Let's go."
Shen Jingsi frowned. "Where did you go?"
Seeing the woman with a wicked smile and no words, he immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed.
They didn't even have time to put on their clothes, they rushed out in their leather shoes.
Shen Jingsi thought that Lu Zhenyu had run away again while he was asleep, so he flung open the tent curtain and went outside.
Everywhere was covered in white snow, so stinging that he had to shield his face with his hand.
As he turned his head and closed his eyes, bursts of laughter came from the barracks next door.
"Little baby, are you a little baby?"
"Oh my~ You know you're a little baby, right? You look at me when I call you."
When Shen Jingsi arrived at the barracks entrance following the sound, a girl in a long knitted dress was holding a baby in swaddling clothes, teasing the infant while walking around the crib.
The little guy giggled at his beautiful aunt, and when he got tired of laughing, he nuzzled his face against Lu Zhenyu's chest.
She was a little embarrassed the first time she was teased, but she's used to it now.
"Baby is hungry, let's go to Mommy's to eat milk."
When women reach a certain age, it seems that they all awaken their innate maternal glow. Looking at the adorable little baby with big, chubby eyes in her arms, Lu Zhenyu also became a bit childlike herself.
The baby was taken away by his mother to be breastfed. As Lu Zhenyu turned around, she glanced at the figure slowly turning away from the doorway.
For some reason, perhaps as soon as he regained consciousness, she remembered what they had done halfway through that night.
Pretend you can't see him, and continue playing with him after he finishes his milk.
So they also didn't see the single tear that fell from Shen Jingsi's eye the moment he turned his back and turned his head.
The woman was breastfeeding, and Shen Jingsi, who wanted to talk to the girl, consciously left.
After the heavy snow, the usually gray border area was blessed with clear skies for once.
He was still recovering from his illness when he wore a thin shirt and wandered aimlessly with his hands in his pockets.
Shen Jingsi had no intention of immediately telling Lu Zhenyu about Little Pearl.
He didn't want to use the child to confine the girl who wanted to soar freely, and indeed, the child's condition hadn't been stable for the past four years.
He could torment her alone; since the girl had already forgotten and accepted the fact that the child was gone, he didn't want to drag her into this endless vortex.
If we must say something, then we can wait until she regains her memory, until she really misses that child.
But what Shen Jingsi just witnessed left him with a bad feeling.
So he panicked again.
Stop and look up at the golden sun overhead.
So, what should he do?
…
Shen Jingsi discovered that ever since he woke up, Lu Zhenyu seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him.
On ordinary days, he either stays next door playing with the children or goes on inspections of each barracks with the doctors.
She was asleep when I looked for her at night, and she was up and working when I looked for her in the morning. The campsite was so small that we didn't see each other for three whole days.
Shen Jingsi could no longer sit still.
Inside the warehouse, Lu Zhenyu was leading several girls in checking the supplies.
With the recent ceasefire, the camp wasn't as busy, and she had time to dress up.
A grey knitted sweater accentuates her slender waist, while the V-neckline reveals her long, black hair half-tied back with a pearl shark clip. She completes the look with her ever-present military overcoat, partially concealing her elegant shoulders and neck.
At this moment, her little red hands held a pen, she stood on tiptoe to count the supplies on the shelf, muttered to herself, and wrote them down in her notebook.
The girl is very serious and dedicated to everything she does.
The lunch bell rang, and two girls came out from the back. "Sister Zhen, you've been busy all morning, go and have some food first."
"You guys go first, I'll finish registering these."
"Okay, then we'll finish eating and then it'll be your turn."
The two girls walked together toward the warehouse exit, where they encountered Shen Jingsi, who was standing at the door with his hands in his pockets.
Shen Jingsi was already tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs—a natural clothes hanger.
Wearing a black turtleneck sweater and gray suit pants, her sharp face and fair skin were accentuated by her usually slicked-back hairstyle, which now rested obediently above her slightly sickly phoenix eyes. A brown wool coat made her look tall and slender.
He stood quietly in the shadows by the door, his hands tucked in his sleeves, his posture upright, the years having tempered his once unruly and roguish face.
Before the two girls could hide the admiration in their eyes or control their pounding hearts, they were about to nod and greet him.
Shen Jingsi made a shushing gesture, placing his finger to his thin lips and closing his eyes in a gesture of silence.
Looking back at Lu Zhenyu, who was focused on counting the supplies, the girls quickly nodded.
As I approached, I gave him a thumbs-up.
The people in the camp didn't know what their relationship was, but even a fool could see that this important figure from the same country as Lu Zhenyu was very, very interested in her.
After everyone left, Shen Jingsi calmed down and tilted his head to look at the girl who was biting the tip of a pen and facing the shelf, seemingly contemplating something.
It's beautiful.
You could look at it for a lifetime and still not get enough.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Lu Zhenyu thought the girls had returned. "You've finished eating so quickly? Perfect timing. Could you hand me the ledger on the table by the door?"
The footsteps returned and quickly drew closer, the ledger being handed to them from the side.
Is this the right size?
“Yes, just…” Lu Zhenyu paused halfway through her sentence, then turned to face Shen Jingsi.
She paused for a moment, but didn't react much. She took the ledger and asked, "What brings you here?"
Having finally caught him, Shen Jingsi cut to the chase, "Since you've been avoiding me, I guess I'll have to come and corner you."
"..." Lu Zhenyu straightened up, tossed her hair behind her back, and continued counting the crates. "Why would I hide from you?"
Shen Jingsi also wanted to ask this, but after thinking about it, he walked over with the account book in his hand and asked, "Are you still angry with me?"
Lu Zhenyu immediately thought of that night.
...
She swallowed, about to say no, we're all adults, we've both been pregnant before, what's the big deal? Besides, she was quite proactive afterwards.
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jingsi took another step forward, facing the girl's back, and said quite seriously, "Zhenzhen, I was in a hurry that night, and I apologize to you."
The pen tip paused on the form, Lu Zhenyu licked her lips, and without turning around, said, "It's okay, we're all adults, it's consensual."
"So, are you willing?"
"..."
Shen Jingsi walked around to Lu Zhenyu's side, gently took the girl's slightly cool hand, put it in his coat pocket, and wrapped it with his large palm.
It was a rather ambiguous gesture, but he just wanted to warm her hands, which were already red from the cold.
The person looked very serious and obedient. "Zhenzhen, you said it was consensual."
Lu Zhenyu swallowed subconsciously. "W-what's wrong?"
He took another step forward, and as she tried to back away, he used his other hand to clasp her waist under her coat.
Are you shy?
Lu Zhenyu felt her gaze fixed on him by those lowered, dark eyes, and she couldn't help but want to look away.
"Why should I be shy? What's there to be shy about?"
He smiled and tilted his head to follow her gaze. "So, do I have a good figure?"
"..."
