Kou Guangshi smiled, not quite believing it, but didn't press for answers.
Ji Kangyong quickly put the lunchbox away. He kept it with him at all times, afraid someone might touch it.
Shen Yanming had no idea that his good intentions would cause such a big problem. If he had known, he certainly wouldn't have chosen today to deliver the gift.
But man proposes, God disposes; who would have thought Captain Kou would be so gossipy?
After finalizing the details with the other party, Shen Yanming went home.
When I opened the door, I found that my wife wasn't there!
I quickly locked the door and went into the space, only to find two extra lunch boxes on the shelf where cooked food was kept.
Shen Yanming opened it and exclaimed, "Oh, steamed buns!" He wiped his hands with a damp towel, picked one up, put it in his mouth, and tasted it. Then his eyes widened instantly. He wondered, "What kind of filling is this? I don't think I've ever eaten anything like it before."
After eating two meals, I finally closed the lunchbox, took off my down jacket and cotton pants, and strolled off to find Bi Qiaoan in my thermal underwear.
At this very moment, Bi Qiaoan was playing with building blocks with An'an and Nuannuan. Seeing Shen Yanming return, she smiled and asked, "All done?"
Shen Yanming nodded: "I'll go with Lao Ji tomorrow."
Are they both alright?
"Hmm, not bad, the same as usual. By the way, what kind of filling did you make for your steamed buns?"
Bi Qiaoan's eyes lit up, and she asked, "You've already eaten? How did it taste?"
"Yeah, I saw it when I came in. It looks pretty good. It's quite unique, but I've never eaten it before."
“Those are radish greens, the leaves of a radish plant. Take a lot with you tomorrow. If anyone asks, just tell them the truth. We’ve grown radishes before anyway,” Bi Qiaoan explained.
"Did we collect the leaves?"
"Yes, you forgot. We took them all back. And, umm, we put them away. Usually, people eat the white radish on the bottom, but the leaves on top are also very nutritious. They can be pickled as a salted vegetable or dried as a dried vegetable. So making this pot of buns for you is perfectly acceptable."
Bi Qiaoan smiled smugly.
Looking at her bright smile, Shen Yanming's heart stirred, and he scooped her up and kissed her on the cheek: "Thank you, darling!"
"No need to thank me. It doesn't matter how much you gain tomorrow, just take good care of yourself. As long as you come back safely, it's okay if you come back empty-handed." Bi Qiaoan patted Shen Yanming's chest and gave him his advice.
Old Shen felt a warm glow in his heart. Although his family's situation was different from others, his wife didn't have much desire for power or care much about saving face. The couple lived a simple life, which made him feel incredibly relaxed.
Unlike some couples who argue about this or that every day and compare themselves to others, their lives are so tiring!
Old Shen is just being idealistic; in reality, his ceiling and the surrounding area are unmatched.
He nodded: "Yeah, I know. If you're bored, come chat with me in the storage area. You can also monitor our hunting in real time through the space."
Hearing this, Bi Qiaoan laughed and put her arms around his neck, saying, "It feels like we've never been apart."
Shen Yanming immediately chimed in, "Of course, I'll always be by your side."
The couple was so engrossed in their sweet nothings that they didn't even look at their child. This made An'an and Nuan'nuan unhappy, and they reached out to tug at their clothes: "Mommy, look how pretty this castle I built is!"
Bi Qiaoan's attention was diverted. She released Shen Yanming's neck and used her mind to pick some flowers and place them in the castle: "Doesn't it look even prettier this way?"
Nuannuan quickly nodded and flattered, "Mom is so amazing! It looks even better with the flowers!"
An'an was the same; she clung to Bi Qiao'an's leg and acted very affectionately.
Looking at the mother and her two children playing together, Shen Yanming suddenly felt a toothache. Had he had children too early?
But it was too late to regret it.
The family of four ate dinner early and went to bed. They didn't leave the room, since they had to get up early the next day. Shen Yanming hoped to get a good night's sleep to replenish his energy and cope with tomorrow's situation.
Bi Qiaoan nestled in his arms, momentarily unable to sleep. Her current peaceful life felt stolen, so unreal.
Hearing the other person's steady breathing and regular heartbeat, Bi Qiaoan slowly relaxed and drifted off to sleep.
When she woke up, the person beside her was nowhere to be seen. Bi Qiaoan touched the cold bed and sighed.
I reached for my phone, pressed the power button, and looked closely; it was 6:30 in the morning.
"I overslept again." Bi Qiaoan scratched her hair in frustration, making a mess of herself, before throwing off the covers, slipping on her slippers, and going to the bathroom to wash up.
After getting myself ready, it was only seven o'clock. When I went to the guest room, I found An'an and Nuannuan sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb them.
Bi Qiaoan walked out of the villa, rode the electric scooter in front of the door, and arrived at the storage area in just a few minutes.
She took a few items from the coffee table, then leaned back in the bird's nest hanging chair and ate her breakfast with graceful movements.
While eating, he used his consciousness to check the situation outside and discovered that Shen Yanming and the others were actually riding a horse-drawn sled, which was quite amazing.
Bi Qiaoan didn't dare to make a sound, afraid of startling Shen Yanming and causing him to fall. In fact, Old Shen was indeed on edge.
He went downstairs at 3:50 a.m. and found Li Gangtie already waiting downstairs. Li Gangtie was carrying a bunch of protective gear, including a helmet, gloves, and knee pads.
“The place we’re going to is far away. If we walk, we probably won’t get there until noon. There are cars prepared outside, and we’ll take one there in a bit,” Li Gangtie explained.
Shen Yanming didn't ask any questions, took one of the outfits and put it on, feeling that it fit him quite well.
At this moment, Ji Kangyong also came over, greeted the two of them, and then stood aside.
Li Gangtie had heard of Shen Yanming's friend before, so he wasn't too surprised.
He nodded and gave him a pair of protective gear: "Although the road is flat and there is basically no danger, it is still better to take precautions."
Ji Kangyong was completely confused, but he still dressed up like Shen Yanming and followed Li Gangtie towards the base gate.
The three walked for a long time, at least an hour, before they saw four tall horses parked at the entrance of the base. Each horse was pulling a large sled, and a row of guards stood beside them, many of whom he recognized.
Tang Shunlin, Shang Haoqiang, and Ji Shaoming came over with smiles to greet him. Shen Yanming looked surprised and exchanged pleasantries with them before waiting for the others to arrive.
Before long, several more guards came running over, and surprisingly, Kou Guangshi was among them.
Ji Kangyong was also stunned when he saw their Captain Kou, but after greeting him, he didn't say anything.
Then, Shen Yanming saw Qi Xili bringing Qi Lin over.
"Sorry everyone, my child is a sleepyhead and woke up a little late."
Everyone laughed and waved their hands to indicate that they didn't mind.
Qi Lin's face turned red, feeling ashamed that his father had exposed his secrets.
