Chapter 458 Sleepiness and Cravings



Shen Yanming interrupted, "Let's not talk about the future, let's talk about the present. You've seen it yourself, the two children are really too thin. If they don't eat well, it will affect their growth and development."

I heard that laborers can also exchange their wages for nutritional supplements; you can inquire about it when you get back.

Ke Wenpei nodded. "I know. Before, because Bian Haifang was around, we couldn't store anything at home, so we didn't have the means to buy nutritional supplements for the children. After the summer harvest, I'll get ten or eight cans of milk powder for the two kids so they can get some extra nutrition."

Shen Yanming smiled, then waved his hand, letting Ke Wenpei go back.

He got back into the car, and without telling Bi Qiaoan about the two children, drove back to the guard team.

It's already past seven o'clock, and we still have evening training. Time is really tight.

They drove straight to the guard team's parking lot without stopping.

Then, Shen Yanming helped Bi Qiaoan back to her dormitory. Without cooking, he took out a plate of bok choy, a bowl of winter melon meatball soup, and a few steamed buns from his spatial storage and started eating.

After dinner, the two of them didn't rest much and rushed to the classroom.

That evening, Shen Yanming was alright, but Bi Qiaoan was clearly exhausted. She was drowsy and almost closed her eyes several times.

Seeing that she was really tired, Qi Xili told her to lie down on the table and rest. She put her bag on the table and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

Fortunately, Bi Qiaoan doesn't snore, otherwise she would have been very embarrassed.

After dozing for more than half an hour, Bi Qiaoan woke up. When she woke up, Qi Xili was still talking eloquently on the podium.

She rubbed her temples, then her face, took the notes Shen Yanming had made, glanced through them, and then continued lecturing from the podium.

This is a certain trait of top students: they can skip over parts they don't understand and directly memorize the subsequent theories and practical applications, then fill in the gaps in their knowledge during breaks.

Two hours passed quickly. When everyone left the classroom, Bi Qiaoan, Yu Shui, Zhu Shiliang, Chen Qing, Cui Xian, and Li Yinhe were all yawning and shedding tears.

Qi Xili laughed at the sight, teasing, "Where did you guys go slacking off? Your movements are so synchronized! Is yawning really contagious?"

Bi Qiaoan was out of it; she glanced at the screen groggily and then slumped onto the table.

After spending this time together, Yu Shui was no longer intimidated by Captain Qi. He nodded, "We'll take the afternoon off..."

Then he went on and on, making Bi Qiaoan drowsy, while Qi Xili listened with great interest.

After a long while, Qi Xili said with a serious expression, "The world is not easy. In the future, there will only be more and more food shortages. In the future, you should stop being so generous and lending out food indiscriminately."

Yu Shui nodded, "I know, Captain Qi. I only helped out today because I felt sorry for my former colleague."

Qi Xili rolled his eyes. "You're being kind to others. Wait until you're out of food, and see if anyone's being kind to you then."

Shen Yanming's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and he tentatively asked, "Do you know something?"

"Huh? What do I know?" Qi Xili tilted his head and glanced at Shen Yanming, then smiled mysteriously. "Don't meddle in other people's business, just do your own thing."

Although Qi Xili didn't admit it, Shen Yanming was convinced that something must have happened. He just didn't know why, even within the guard unit, they hadn't heard a whisper of it.

It's not that the league didn't make an announcement; it's just that there's really no basis for it.

Last winter, Qinghua experienced extremely cold weather. However, many countries in the Southern Hemisphere experienced extremely hot weather.

Qi Xili's unspoken concern was that Qinghua Kingdom would also experience a period of extreme heat, leading to reduced grain production.

However, lacking any theoretical basis, he dared not speak out openly.

Even if one wanted to offer a reminder, it could only be done in an extremely subtle way, such as expressing disapproval of lending out grain.

After all, when the day comes that everything is over, a pound or two of rice or flour can be used to save your life.

Since Qi Xili didn't say anything, Shen Yanming didn't press the matter.

Seeing that there were hardly any people left in the classroom, he helped Bi Qiaoan up, letting her lean almost all her weight on him, and then asked Yu Shui to help check the classroom windows.

After making sure the door was closed, he turned on the light, locked the door, and left.

The group walked in the same direction. On the way, Qi Xili asked Yu Shui, "You're all so sleepy tonight. Did you understand the lessons? Should we set aside some time tomorrow for you to review them?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shui's eyes widened in horror, and she shook her head vigorously, "No, no, no need. I'll go back and study the acting myself. If I really don't understand, there's always Lao Shen."

Qi Xili hadn't expected that his words of concern would frighten the person so much. He actually found it quite amusing.

Then he looked at Shen Yanming and said, "You're not feeling well tonight either. How about it, do you understand?"

Shen Yanming nodded, "95% is no problem. The rest may require some practical training."

Qi Xili nodded, not doubting the truth in his words. He pointed with his chin at Bi Qiaoan, whose eyelids were drooping, and Shen Yanming quickly assured him, "I'll tutor her when she wakes up."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Qi Xili bid farewell to everyone. It was only then that everyone learned that Captain Qi lived in a first-class apartment in the guard unit.

It seems that he is not only an all-rounder, but also someone who has made great contributions.

Not long after Qi Xili left, Shen Yanming also parted ways with the others. He walked past Bi Qiaoan, each step very slow. If he didn't want to be seen as a monster, he really wanted to pick up his wife and run straight back to the dormitory.

About twenty minutes later, Shen Yanming opened the door, turned on the living room light, and then led Bi Qiaoan back to the master bedroom. He helped her take off her shoes, covered her with the blanket, and then went out.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Bi Qiaoan didn't say anything to stop her, indicating she was already too tired to pay attention. Otherwise, she would at least have asked to change her clothes or something.

Shen Yanming was aware of his wife's fussy little quirk, but if he did things her way, her sleepiness would probably be chased away.

So, for the sake of my wife and babies' rest, let's do it this way for now. At worst, we can just wash the sheets and duvet cover tomorrow, since they were going to be changed anyway.

Shen Yanming went to the living room and poured himself a strong cup of tea. He was a little sleepy, but it didn't matter; this half-asleep state was very torturous.

Remembering that there was still half a pot of oil left over from frying mushrooms at noon, I couldn't bear to waste it, so I took out spring rolls and sesame balls from my storage space and put them into the oil one by one after it got hot.

Before long, the entire kitchen was filled with a rich aroma, and so was the living room.

It drifted into the bedroom through the crack in the door, allowing Bi Qiaoan to enjoy a feast in her dream.

It's tough on the people upstairs and downstairs. They were all planning to rest, but the tempting aroma made their mouths water.
