Shen Nan chuckled repeatedly as she bit his lip.
"So soon?" he teased.
Zhou Zuizui ignored him. At this moment, she felt that only by kissing him and feeling his breath could she feel a sense of reality.
This made her feel that Shen Nan was safe at this moment, and that he was a real man standing in front of her.
Shen Nan probably sensed her unease, so he reached out and pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to respond to her. His tongue entwined with hers, their passion lingering.
The two of them squeezed into the cramped space, so close that their breaths were right next to each other's ears, and they could feel the warmth of each other's bodies.
In the cramped space, after kissing for a while, the heat rose.
Zhou Zuizui shifted uncomfortably, glancing mischievously at Shen Nan: "Captain Shen..." She deliberately drew out the last syllable, her eyebrows drooping downwards as she pointed suggestively to a certain spot.
Shen Nan: "..."
He chuckled, pressed her against his shoulder, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't mess with me."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Nan added, "You're doomed if you go home."
Zhou Zuizui wasn't afraid of him at all. However, this was indeed not a good time. They were still at the company entrance, and even though his car had been specially modified so that nothing could be seen from the outside, it still wouldn't work.
At some point, Zhou Zuizui also needed to save face.
After thinking about it, she let herself be suppressed by something until he calmed down. Then Zhou Zuizui quickly returned to her seat, and the two left.
Where do we go now?
"Let's go eat first," Shen Nan said. "I came straight here; I'm too lazy to go home and cook."
Zhou Zuizui nodded and blinked: "Okay. Don't go home to cook, take a day off."
If Shen Nan were to do it, she wouldn't be too willing to let him go.
Zhou Zuizui and the others left Linyun County after confirming there were no further issues, but Chen Nan and his team were different. They still needed to devise protective measures and resettle the local villagers, so you can imagine how busy and tired they were. They haven't had much time to rest since they got back, and there's probably still follow-up work to handle.
Compared to them, they had it so easy. Shen Nan and the others were really exhausted.
As Zhou Zuizui thought about it, her gaze towards Shen Nan softened even more.
In the end, the two didn't go out to eat. Shen's mother called to ask about their situation.
Zhou Zuizui exclaimed "Ah!" and looked at the man next to her, saying, "Mom, Shen Nan just came back and picked me up from work."
Mother Shen's eyes lit up, and she asked with delight, "Are you coming home for dinner? If you are, I'll cook two more dishes."
Zhou Zuizui thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go back now."
"Don't buy anything, come back quickly," Mother Shen said anxiously.
Shen's mother was naturally aware of the news, as Shen's father had been busy and worried about it for several days. But there was nothing they could do; natural disasters are unstoppable. All they could do was take more preventative measures and try their best to avoid such problems from happening again.
She knew that Shen Nan had gone to participate in the rescue, so even though she was very worried, she didn't dare to call him, for fear of delaying his work.
In this respect, Shen's mother, having been a military family member for so many years, is very understanding. At the same time, she is probably a little stronger than Zhou Zuizui, after all, so many years have passed.
"Okay, okay," Zhou Zuizui replied, "We'll be right back."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zuizui looked at Shen Nan with a smile, raised an eyebrow and said, "Captain Shen, let's go home."
Shen Nan chuckled and patted her head: "Sorry."
"It's alright." Zhou Zuizui thought about her mother's hesitant words just now and said softly, "I understand, Mom."
She felt the same way a few days ago.
The road back to the compound was a bit congested, but Zhou Zuizui looked up at the road ahead and wasn't in a hurry.
Her only fear was that Shen's mother and the others would wait too long. Based on her understanding of Shen's mother, they would definitely wait for the two of them to return before starting the meal, and she estimated that the food would have to be reheated by then.
Thinking about it, Zhou Zuizui sighed softly.
She glanced sideways at the man who was focused on driving, and found it rather amusing.
It seems that as long as she is with Shen Nan, even if she is stuck in traffic, she will not feel annoyed.
Zhou Zuizui thought about it and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Zuizui glanced at him and said, "You seem to be in a good mood. Are you going back this weekend?"
"Need not."
"By the way, is anyone injured?" Zhou Zuizui belatedly realized and asked.
She muttered, "You guys got soaked in the rain that day, didn't you catch a cold or fever afterwards?"
"No." Shen Nan smiled and said, "That's why we sometimes train even when it's raining; you have to be in good physical condition."
While it's not required that soldiers be indestructible, they certainly can't be too delicate, to the point of getting heatstroke from sun exposure or catching a cold or fever from rain. An occasional occurrence is understandable, but it can't be a regular occurrence.
Every second counts for them. If they catch a cold and their minds become clouded, leading to poor judgment and potentially serious consequences, the initial training must be rigorous and thorough. Once they've mastered everything and gotten used to it, everything will fall into place.
Zhou Zuizui listened and nodded silently: "That's good. Are you alright otherwise?"
Shen Nan thought for a moment and said, "A few of my comrades suffered minor injuries, but nothing serious."
Actually, his back was also scratched, but Shen Nan didn't plan to tell Zhou Zuizui now. She was afraid that if she did, Zhou Zuizui would probably immediately come up and tear off his clothes.
Thinking about it, he silently curled the corners of his lips.
Zhou Zuizui glanced at him: "What about you?"
Shen Nan paused, then quickly said, "No."
He glanced at the time and changed the subject: "There are ten minutes left."
Zhou Zuizui stared at him for a few seconds, but didn't expose his little scheme.
—Never mind, we'll find out soon enough.
When the two arrived home, Shen's mother gave them a warm welcome. Even Grandpa Shen looked Shen Nan over before nodding and saying, "You did a good job this time."
He gestured for the two to sit down, then looked at Zhou Zuizui: "Chuichui, I heard you went to the scene too, is that right?"
He frowned and said, "No injuries or colds, right?"
Zhou Zuizui shook her head with a smile: "Grandpa, no, I just went to take a look, I didn't do anything."
Grandpa Shen glanced at her, smiled, and said, "Well done. But the premise of doing these things is to protect yourself first, you know? Next time you want to go, you can, but don't impulsively go with a private team."
Actually, he was just worried about the two of them. It was fine with Shen Nan going with the army, but he was also at ease with Zhou Zuizui and Lu Jiaxiu going with them. However, no matter how much he was at ease, it wasn't as good as letting Zhou Zuizui go with Shen's father and the others.
He said softly, "Your dad actually went too, but you didn't run into him."
Zhou Zuizui was taken aback and looked at Shen Nan: "Really?"
Shen Nan nodded: "I went, I saw it."
He said, "I was too busy at the time and didn't have time to tell you."
With such a major incident, it's natural that Shen's father, as a leader, would personally participate in the rescue and arrangements. He also took the opportunity to express his gratitude to all the hardworking soldiers.
As Shen's mother came out of the kitchen, Shen's father arrived home just then.
The family sat together in a lively atmosphere, which prompted Chen's mother to change the subject and stop talking about the matter.
Mother Shen kept urging Zhou Zuizui to eat more, and even specially cooked some free-range chicken soup for her.
Zhou Zuizui was flattered, but felt that something was amiss.
She secretly glanced at Chen Nan, exchanged a look with him, and gave a silent signal.
Shen Nan smiled, took her hand under the table, and scratched it.
Their oblivious little actions went unnoticed by anyone.
Chen's mother looked at Zhou Zuizui: "Zuizui has lost a lot of weight, eat more." She asked, "Would you like another bowl of chicken soup?"
Zhou Zuizui was already about to burst, and quickly refused, "No, no, Mom really doesn't need it."
She said, on the verge of tears, "I'm so full."
Seeing that she had eaten quite a lot, Shen's mother finally gave up.
After the meal, Zhou Zuizui volunteered to go to the kitchen to help, but she was kicked out as soon as she reached the door.
A moment later, Mother Shen looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you staying at home tonight?"
Shen Nan instinctively wanted to refuse, but Zhou Zuizui spoke first.
“Sure, let’s stay at your place.” She smiled and said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve spent time with Grandpa. He just said he wants to go fishing tomorrow, so I’ll go fishing with him.”
Grandpa Shen was delighted: "Good, Chui Chui is so good."
Shen Nan: "…………"
So it turns out I'm the one who's caught in the middle.
He glanced at his wife, but unfortunately, she didn't even look at him.
Throughout the evening, apart from being called to the study by Shen's father for a chat, Shen Nan and his mother sat in the living room with Shen's mother and grandfather, watching TV to pass the time. After the grandfather went to sleep, the two of them went upstairs after a while.
Mother Shen didn't mind.
As soon as they got back to their room, Shen Nan asked, "Why did you suddenly agree to stay at my place? Aren't you worried about not being able to sleep?"
Zhou Zuizui chuckled and glanced at him: "It's been so long since you've been back. Grandpa and Mom and Dad miss you a lot. They don't say it, but their eyes show it." She wanted to say, "We don't have much time to spend with them anyway. Since you're back, why don't you stay for two nights?"
Shen Nan pondered for a moment, then beckoned to her, pulled her onto his lap, and asked affectionately, "Why is my wife so wonderful?"
Zhou Zuizui snorted and looked at him: "What does Mom want to do tonight?"
Shen Nan choked up, thinking about her mother's actions, and subconsciously glanced at her stomach.
Zhou Zuizui understood instantly.
"I guess...he wants to have a granddaughter."
