At first glance, this statement may seem meaningless, but upon deeper reflection, it reveals a great deal of meaning.
Zhou Zuizui was pinned down on top of him, unable to move. His slender fingers rubbed against her neck, causing a slight tickle that sent shivers down her spine. Her breathing quickened, and she stared silently at the man opposite her, unsure of what to say.
She hadn't expected Shen Nan to be so direct about it. In fact, they both had feelings for each other... If Zhou Zuizui hadn't liked Shen Nan, she wouldn't have married him so resolutely. How could it be that no one else was suitable, but only Shen Nan was someone she was willing to take the initiative to talk to?
Back then, it was mostly out of spite, but later she thought about it and realized that if it were someone else, she probably wouldn't have dared to gamble with her marriage.
From the moment she entered the room, she guessed that Shen Nan was going to grab her and talk to her, but she couldn't quite believe it would happen so quickly.
So when Zhou Zuizui went to change her clothes just now, she deliberately changed into a dress... I don't know what kind of bad idea she was having.
It's hard to explain.
Shen Nan lowered his eyes and stared at her for a long time before speaking seriously after she had calmed down: "Do you know what I want to say?"
Zhou Zuizui: "..."
This person is really wicked; they were clearly about to speak up, but they still had to ask me.
She looked up and glared at him: "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'm leaving."
Shen Nan chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping over her with a direct and intense intensity before he asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhou Zuizui: "...There are many places to go."
Shen Nan chuckled and, pinching the back of her neck, said bluntly, "You don't want to leave."
"..."
She looked up at Shen Nan.
Shen Nan's eyes were full of sincerity and passion as he looked down at her. "I always thought that as long as we got married, everything would be fine. Even if we were just polite to each other now, it wouldn't matter. We have plenty of time, we can take it slow." He reached out and hugged Zhou Zuizui, whispering in her ear, "But now, I don't want to wait anymore."
He didn't want to wait until time slowly passed before they gradually became familiar with each other; he couldn't wait, and he didn't want to wait.
The two don't have much time together, so they want to cherish every second and spend it with each other, rather than competing with each other or arbitrarily claiming there's no affection between them.
He leaned close to Zhou Zuizui's ear and whispered, "I don't want to take it slow anymore."
Every second they spend is incredibly precious.
Before returning, Shen Nan had always felt that he could come back slowly and there was no rush. He wanted to give her the freedom she wanted, as long as she was healthy and safe. But after returning, he found that his thoughts had changed. He wanted to give her the freedom she wanted, but he also wanted to spend all the time he could with her.
In a sense, Shen Nan's feelings for Zhou Zuizui can be described as love at first sight.
To be honest, at Shen Nan's age, he hadn't dated anyone when he was younger, and he hadn't thought about it before. After graduating from high school, he went to military academy, where the training was so arduous that he could fall asleep without even showering. After graduating, he joined the army, which wasn't much different from school—it was still exhausting. Sometimes, to rescue people or complete missions, he wouldn't sleep for days and nights. Naturally, he didn't have the mind to think about these things.
When he first graduated, he wanted to climb the social ladder. He came from a good family, but the better that was, the more determined he became to achieve his goals. Shen Nan never wanted to rely on his family; he was also stubborn, so he worked harder than others.
Basically, aside from interacting with the boys and girls in the compound, he had very few interactions with people outside. Although there were women in the army, Shen Nan wasn't interested, and his teammates had always teased him for being sexually apathetic. But he knew he wasn't; he just hadn't met anyone he felt a connection with.
The first time I saw Zhou Zuizui wasn't when I was set up on a blind date; it was a long time ago.
He had seen the photo in Grandpa Shen's room, but he didn't remember it well at the time. He only vaguely remembered that they had met again later... Shen Nan had even helped the person in front of him, but he didn't remember it.
Then came blind dates. Shen Nan didn't show any resistance, but Zhou Zuizui was quite resistant. However, perhaps because, as she said, she had admired soldiers since childhood, the two talked quite a bit. Afterward, the two were often arranged to go out together. In order to make Shen Nan tell his family that he was not satisfied with her, Zhou Zuizui even took him to bars several times, and each time they got completely drunk.
Thinking it over, Shen Nan pinched Zhou Zuizui's earlobe and looked down at her: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhou Zuizui pursed her lips and looked up at him.
How could they not understand? Neither of them were pretentious. Although they were a little sensitive at first, once they talked it out, they realized it was gone.
At first, she only admired Shen Nan, but women are emotional, and once they have feelings for someone, everything else will naturally follow.
A man who protects you at all times, even at the cost of going against his own parents.
How could she not be tempted? She was just stubbornly refusing to admit it.
Shen Nan looked at her and sighed softly: "Do I really have to put it more bluntly?"
Zhou Zuizui stared at him: "You can say more if you want."
Shen Nan was so angry at her words that he laughed.
"What do you mean by 'also possible'?"
Zhou Zuizui chuckled, reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, and said defiantly, "You said it first."
Shen Nan glanced at her and said, "Hmm." He reached out and ruffled her hair. "Where did you learn this competitive spirit from?"
Zhou Zuizui: "...You." She smiled, her eyes crinkling: "If it weren't for this stubborn personality, you wouldn't even look at me, would you?"
A man like Shen Nan wouldn't even glance at a woman who's delicate, soft, and gentle. Men are driven by a desire to conquer, and coincidentally, Shen Nan prefers Zhou Zuizui's type—stubborn, unyielding, and resilient.
The conversation wasn't exactly straightforward, but both of them were intelligent and understood each other. For them, many things were immediately clear. Zhou Zuizui wasn't forcing Shen Nan to say he liked her; the fact that he said it to her like this was enough.
Thinking about it, she took the initiative to lean in and kiss him.
He took the initiative to say it, so she took the initiative to do it; they were a match made in heaven.
She sucked on Shen Nan's lips, clinging to him and using all the knowledge she had acquired.
After kissing for a while, Zhou Zuizui became a little discouraged. She clearly learned it from Shen Nan last night, so why wasn't this person making any move? Just as she was struggling, Shen Nan took the initiative and kissed her aggressively, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
He bit her lips, sucking hard, prying open her teeth, and thrusting deep inside, entwining his tongue with hers.
The kiss came so fiercely and quickly that no one could react in time.
After we talked it out, everything fell into place.
The two were of one mind, and everything they did felt natural, as if all the developments were inevitable.
The two sat on the sofa and kissed. It was still midday outside, and sunlight shone through the clouds, adding a touch of brightness to the room.
Everything was out of control; they were so close they couldn't bear to part.
Zhou Zuizui couldn't breathe at all; she felt like she was suffocating from the kiss. She reached out and pushed Shen Nan's shoulder, and Shen Nan released her rosy lips and chuckled: "That's it?"
He was mocking Zhou Zuizui's physical strength.
Zhou Zuizui listened, then, unable to bear it any longer, bit his chin. The next second, he was carried on her shoulder and into the bedroom.
Shen Nan slowly leaned in, placing his hands on either side of her, kissing her while his hands continued their actions...
She lay on her bed in a long dress, as if waiting for him. Shen Nan looked at her with deep eyes, knelt before her, and kissed her tenderly, leaving no part of her body untouched.
The rustling sound of the fabric rubbing together sent shivers down one's spine. Zhou Zuizui reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, tilting her head back to press herself closer to him.
She took the initiative.
Shen Nan's breathing became heavy, his eyes darkening as he looked at her...
This is his wife.
The two kissed passionately, and the curtains in the room had been drawn at some point, making it pitch black inside, just like the dead of night.
To please Zhou Zuizui, Shen Nan kept trying to please her and make her feel comfortable, as if he wanted to prove what she had said some time ago, that his body was not good enough... Shen Nan was determined to prove his strength.
In the end, however, Shen Nan passed away, and Zhou Zuizui became weak.
When he came in, Zhou Zuizui's voice was hoarse from shouting, and she was covered in sweat. Their sweat mingled together, and there was an indescribable smell in the closed room. That smell... made it clear what had happened inside.
The two were pressed tightly together, so close that there wasn't a single gap between them.
At first, Shen Nan was relatively restrained, using the most traditional position. But after trying it once, his inherent flaws came out, and he turned Zhou Zuizui over... In the end, the two went into the bathroom.
Zhou Zuizui hugged him, receiving his rhythmic movements.
Time and time again, it never ends.
…………
After it was over, Zhou Zuizui was exhausted.
She nestled in Shen Nan's arms, unwilling to move even a finger.
And Shen Nan kept his word, he really didn't let her go out that day. It was already dark outside. The two of them hadn't actually done it many times, maybe three or four times, but they were always stuck together, as if they couldn't be separated.
Shen Nan lowered his eyes, bent down and kissed her forehead, teasingly asking, "Tired?"
Zhou Zuizui gouged out his eyes: "What do you think?"
Her voice was hoarse.
She didn't know if all men were the same, but in bed... they especially liked to hear all sorts of inappropriate things said, and just thinking about those words made her feel hot and bothered.
Thinking about it, Zhou Zuizui buried her head in his neck and rubbed against him, then suddenly said, "I'm hungry."
The two of them skipped lunch and spent the rest of their time in the room and on the bed.
Shen Nan chuckled softly, spoiling his woman as much as he could: "What do you want to eat?"
Zhou Zuizui thought for a moment: "There are no vegetables at home."
Shen Nan hummed in agreement and patted her head: "Then you can sleep at home for a while, I'll go out and buy it."
Are you going out so late?
Shen Nan nodded: "It's nothing."
Zhou Zuizui watched Shen Nan get out of bed and get dressed, and didn't say anything, only silently marveling at the physical strength of soldiers... damn good.
I have nothing to say.
According to what she had heard, most men would be exhausted after two rounds. They wouldn't even have the strength to get up to buy groceries and cook, let alone carry their girlfriends into the bathroom. But Shen Nan... not only did the latter, but also did the former.
Thinking about it, she whistled and praised Shen Nan: "Captain Shen's stamina... is indeed impressive."
Shen Nan: "..."
Looking at his wife who wasn't afraid at all, he was both amused and exasperated. He picked up his coat, walked to the bedside, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Still dare to flirt with me?"
The implication is: Are you still physically capable?
Zhou Zuizui pulled the blanket over herself and said coquettishly, "Go quickly, I'm so hungry, I want to eat a lot of things, and I also want to eat dessert."
Shen Nan was both amused and exasperated. He bent down and kissed her, then got dressed and went out.
After everyone left, Zhou Zuizui wanted to sleep, but she wanted to check her phone. She looked around but couldn't find it. Then she remembered that she must have left her phone in the living room.
With difficulty, Zhou Zuizui got up, went outside to get her phone, and then lay back down on the bed.
As soon as I picked up my phone, I saw a lot of messages from Xia Wen.
Xia Wen: Sister, wanna drink tonight?
Xia Wen: Have you talked it out with your husband yet? Based on my analysis of you two, you both actually have feelings for each other, but you're both stubborn. In love, it's okay to compromise a little sometimes, and it's also good to be a little coquettish.
Xia Wen: Where the hell did you disappear to?!
...
Xia Wen: If you don't show up soon, I'll start to think you're asleep. What are you sleeping for in the middle of the day?!
Zhou Zuizui saw this, chuckled, and replied to Xia Wen: You guessed right.
Xia Wen immediately replied: What did you guess right?
Zhou Zuizui: I'm in bed, but I'm not sleeping.
Xia Wen: ? ? ? Is that what I thought?
Zhou Zuizui: What do you mean?
Xia Wen: ? ? ? ? ? Share it with me! Are you guys having a discussion?
Zhou Zuizui: Well, let's put it all out in the open.
Xia Wen: So you ignored me all afternoon and stood me up? What were you doing all afternoon? *winking emoji*
Zhou Zuizui chuckled at the meme, genuinely pleased, and couldn't help but say to Xia Wen: "You're right, I must say my husband's stamina is really good."
Xia Wen: ...The two-year period of reminiscing has finally come to an end. Congratulations.
Zhou Zuizui: …………
The two chatted for a while, and Xia Wen didn't ask any more questions. They both knew that the other was good to them, and that was enough.
Xia Wen: You continue, I'm going to have some fun. Let's meet up sometime.
Zhou Zuizui: Okay.
She turned off her phone and went to sleep. She vaguely heard someone come back, and after that, she lost consciousness.
When Zhou Zuizui woke up, Shen Nan was kissing her.
The two exchanged a glance, and Zhou Zuizui mumbled an "Mmm" in her sleep, then asked vaguely, "All done?"
“Yes.” Shen Nan scooped the person up and walked outside: “Let’s eat something first.”
"good."
Shen Nan's cooking skills are quite good; they are all all-rounders, able to cook anything and do anything. The dishes on the table are beautifully presented, and Zhou Zuizui took a bite, her eyes practically squinting with happiness.
It's so delicious.
Shen Nan glanced at the girl eating across from him and chuckled, "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
I'm hungry.
I was really hungry; exercising requires a lot of energy.
Upon hearing this, Shen Nan looked at her intently for a few moments, his Adam's apple bobbing as he said, "Yes. Eat more."
After the two finished eating, Shen Nan, being a diligent person, took the initiative to wash the dishes and clean up, while Zhou Zuizui curled up on the sofa and turned on the TV to watch, mainly because she was bored and a little tired.
Are you still sleepy?
"It's alright." Zhou Zuizui looked at him. "When is your vacation over?"
Shen Nan pursed his lips, looked down at her for a moment, and said, "Return to the team the day after tomorrow morning."
Zhou Zuizui: "..."
No wonder he said they didn't have much time together. So every minute and every second was especially precious.
Shen Nan observed her changing expression, then bent down closer: "Are you unhappy?"
Zhou Zuizui shook her head, reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, saying, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little heartbroken."
They were injured, but they still needed to go on missions and serve the country. Shen Nan's injuries had healed, but he returned too quickly this time.
Shen Nan lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, his voice deep and dark: "Don't worry, I'm very content right now."
If it weren't for his military career, he probably wouldn't have gotten this far with Zhou Zuizui. Shen Nan is now incredibly grateful to his past self for choosing this path.
Protect your home and country, and protect your woman.
Their eyes met, and Zhou Zuizui kissed him again, truly not wanting to waste a single moment.
Shen Nan looked at the person clinging to him and laughed, "Are you trying to drain me dry?"
Zhou Zuizui bit his lip and gave him a flirtatious wink: "So weak?"
Shen Nan pinched her waist, and laughed in exasperation.
His main concern was that her small frame wouldn't be able to handle it, otherwise she would cry.
But Zhou Zuizui didn't care. The thought of this person leaving the day after tomorrow made her a little reluctant. They had only just started talking, and it might not even be forty-eight hours before they had to part ways.
She bit him fiercely like a little leopard, groping him all over.
...
Afterwards, Shen Nan lowered his head and asked her, "Who was weaker?"
Zhou Zuizui turned over, not wanting to pay attention to him.
I'm sleepy.
That night, the two went to bed early.
Body and mind are in perfect harmony.
The next day, Zhou Zuizui and Shen Nan did nothing but stay at home all day, refusing to go out no matter who called them.
That evening, they did it twice more, as if trying to make up for the two years that had been missed. In Shen Nan's words... it might take quite a long time to make up for it.
His words were so blunt that Zhou Zuizui wanted to hit him.
Even when this man is being irresponsible, he's still incredibly likable.
She may have really fallen for him.
