Why can't I fall asleep...?
Su Yueya turned over.
I accidentally bumped into Lu Zhengjun's arm.
Yes, why doesn't she sleep while hugging her husband?
It's clear that when we first got married, even though my husband couldn't do *that*, we would still cuddle and sleep together sweetly. We haven't reached the point of being an old married couple yet, so why don't we cuddle anymore?
"Husband," Su Yueya whispered, then groped her way closer.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
Upon sensing Su Yueya's movement, he unconsciously softened his breathing—before his mind could process why he was doing this, his body had already reacted instinctively.
"Hmm?" he asked softly.
"I can't sleep..." Su Yueya said as she lay down on the bed.
She hugged her husband, resting her head on his strong chest, and even rubbed against him to adjust her position. Her feet also restlessly touched Lu Zhengjun's calves, and she kept making little movements.
She didn't stop until she felt she had found the most comfortable and suitable position.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
I could smell the faint fragrance of his pajamas, just like the one I was wearing, right next to my husband's.
Su Yueya inexplicably calmed down, listening to her husband's strong heartbeat, one beat, two beats, three beats...
She didn't know how many times she counted before she fell into a deep sleep.
Hearing the even, deep breathing, Lu Zhengjun, who had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He sighed silently to himself.
How did it... come to this?
Su Yueya is asleep; now it's his turn to be unable to sleep.
Lu Zhengjun tried to gently pull her arm out. Since the person was already asleep, it didn't matter whether she held her or not.
He had barely moved when the person in his arms moved as well.
"Um……"
It's like it's awake, but also like it's not.
Su Yueya rubbed her face against something that was both hard and soft, smelled a familiar scent, and then drifted back to sleep peacefully.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
He's not awake.
But I can't pull my hand out!
Holding Su Yueya like this, even when she was asleep, was still an unbearable torment for Lu Zhengjun.
The side of his body pressed against Su Yueya seemed to be going numb because he dared not move at all.
In some places, there were even more inappropriate reactions.
Get down!
Lu Zhengjun silently recited in her heart.
Anyway, he wasn't talking about Su Yueya. As for what it was, he knew it himself, and he should know it too.
But no matter how much he told himself to calm down and go to sleep, it was no use.
The expected reactions still occurred.
It can even last a long time.
He simply couldn't suppress his restless heart, just as he couldn't control a volcano about to erupt.
Absolutely not.
Lu Zhengjun used her other hand, which wasn't holding Su Yueya, to pinch the outside of her thigh hard.
Unfortunately, the brief pain only lasted for a short while, and then it was as if nothing had happened. I still couldn't sleep, and I still felt uncomfortable.
Lu Zhengjun's sleep had been greatly improved by the sleep aid pills, and she hadn't used them for some time. But now it seems she won't be able to go without them tonight.
He endured until Su Yueya fell into a deep sleep, then used his other hand to grope for the small box on the bedside table, which contained sleeping pills.
Because he was operating with one hand and had to try not to disturb Su Yueya who was sleeping next to him, he moved very slowly and with great effort finally managed to stick the sleep aid pill on his navel.
The medication takes effect slowly.
After a restless night, Lu Zhengjun finally fell into a deep sleep...
The next day.
Su Yueya opened her eyes and was surprised to find that Lu Zhengjun was still lying next to her, fast asleep.
That's strange, usually when she wakes up her husband is already up!
Am I going to stay in bed tonight?
Su Yueya was a little confused, because Lu Zhengjun's schedule was always incredibly accurate, but she still made her movements light and carefully retreated from his side and got out of bed.
After washing up, Su Yueya quickly went downstairs to make breakfast.
She simply steamed two buns, boiled two corn cobs, cooked a pot of millet porridge, and then served a small dish of pickles. Timed it carefully, she went upstairs to wake Lu Zhengjun.
"Husband?" Su Yueya said softly.
There was no response.
It seems she really slept very soundly.
"Honey." Su Yueya raised her voice and nudged Lu Zhengjun's shoulder. "Honey, get up. Breakfast is ready."
"Hmm?" Lu Zhengjun groggily opened her eyes and sat up in bed, still half asleep. "Is it the peak?"
After he finished washing up and getting ready, the two of them sat in the dining room to have breakfast.
Su Yueya kept observing Lu Zhengjun's expression.
It's not bad, but it's not good either.
"Honey, did you not sleep well last night?" Su Yueya asked with concern.
"Yeah, I had a nightmare." Lu Zhengjun made up an excuse, since he couldn't bring himself to say the real reason.
"Huh? Why would you have a nightmare?"
Lu Zhengjun couldn't answer the question, and only said, "I slept better after taking sleeping pills."
Su Yueya was heartbroken.
After all, Lu Zhengjun has to train in the army every day, and the intensity is very high. If he doesn't get enough rest, it will greatly affect his condition.
How could I not be sleeping well?
"Honey, come home early for lunch. I'll make you something nice to eat to help you recover." Su Yueya was planning what to make for lunch.
Upon hearing the word "supplement," Lu Zhengjun instinctively wanted to refuse.
"Crescent Moon, you're not planning to do something again—" aphrodisiac and kidney-tonifying soup, are you?"
Lu Zhengjun was trembling with fear. Just holding him was enough to exhaust him. If he were to have a nourishing soup on top of that, he really wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep.
When Su Yueya saw that he had the wrong idea, and recalled the funny incident that happened when they were newlyweds, her face suddenly became hot.
"No! What are you thinking!" Su Yueya said coquettishly.
Knowing her husband is impotent, she still did those things; wasn't that just fooling around?
Su Yueya was being serious!
Lu Zhengjun was relieved.
"Crescent Moon, I've finished eating. I'm going to the army now." Lu Zhengjun stood up.
"Okay, don't worry about the dishes, I'll clean them up. Just be mindful of the time, don't be late," Su Yueya instructed.
Normally, whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Lu Zhengjun would clean up with Su Yueya after they finished eating, never leaving all the housework to his wife.
But he was in a hurry today, so he went out first.
Su Yueya saw her husband to the door and only returned after he had walked away.
As she cleared the dishes, she pondered what delicious food to prepare for lunch.
You could make ginseng chicken soup; it's nourishing.
But we can't just have this one soup; we need to make something else too...
Soybeans stewed with pig's trotters are rich in collagen and plant protein, which can nourish the body.
Stir-fried eggs with wood ear mushrooms, green peppers, and eggs provides dietary fiber, protein, and vitamins, which can enhance the body's immunity.
