Chapter 87: Pocket in the coat, fearing that she would return to her parents' home
Outside the house, a cold wind blew.
Snowflakes were falling all over the sky, rolling up the snowflakes that had not yet merged with the ground and were tumbling in the air.
This is the first snow this winter.
It's so sudden and chilling to the bone.
Even though Meng Shuyue was in the man's warm arms, she still shrank back, clutching the cloth on the man's chest, not letting go, and not daring to look up.
"Why don't you speak?"
Shen Jinxiao put the woman in his arms down, staring at the woman with her feet on the ground with burning eyes, complex emotions surging in his eyes.
He carried her out, and along the way he regretted not being able to protect her well, and was also worried that she would be afraid of him after knowing his identity.
really.
The woman in front of him shrank back and took a step back, actually keeping a distance from him in such a strange way.
Shen Jinxiao felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart, and a slight pain arose.
She was afraid of him.
Just as afraid of him as those people in the banquet hall.
Last night they were very close, as if they wanted to merge into each other's flesh and blood.
Today, after she learned of his identity, she distanced herself from him.
He couldn't stand this kind of gap.
"Shuyue," Shen Jinxiao said hoarsely, reaching out to pull her, "I didn't hide my identity on purpose, I was afraid that you would hate me because of Shi Jing..."
Faced with his outstretched hand, Meng Shuyue subconsciously avoided his touch.
Even when he was standing in the snow, Meng Shuyue's head was still dizzy. He couldn't believe that what had just happened in the banquet hall was real.
For a moment, she felt as humble as an ugly duckling in front of this lofty flower.
She didn't even have the courage to look him in the face.
The gap between the two is not just the seven-year age difference, but also a huge gap in status.
"I...I don't hate you, it's just..."
Meng Shuyue suddenly started hiccuping violently.
I don’t know if it was because I was scared or cold.
I just felt like I was about to cry.
She just wanted an ordinary man who loved his mother as much as his father, so why did she marry this legendary cold-faced military officer?
"I...I want to go back to my parents' home!"
Finally, her subconscious still couldn't convince herself to stay with this man. The words that Meng Shuyue blurted out made Shen Jinxiao's expression blank for a moment.
"no!"
Shen Jinxiao rejected her categorically, picked her up like a child, turned her over and stuffed her into his army green coat.
Meng Shuyue screamed repeatedly, but could only watch in horror as her little feet were lifted off the ground and stuffed into the man's coat. In the end, he even fastened two buttons and wrapped her tightly in front of him.
It's like a koala has a silly baby bear in its pocket.
Shen Jinxiao struggled to fasten the third button on his coat.
In the end, he had to give up the fingering action because the woman in front of him had a too big belly.
He held the woman in his arms and walked towards home with big strides, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
"You can't go back to your parents' house to sleep, or your parents-in-law will think we have a bad relationship."
"You don't know how unhappy my parents' expressions were when I ran to the South Street Clinic to look for you just now. They probably thought we had a fight."
"So, let's not let our parents worry about us, okay?"
He hesitated and paused. Even at his age, he still had a hint of grievance. He said to Meng Shuyue, "The most important thing is that I can't sleep when you are not at home."
As he said this, he told her about the blunder he had just made with his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
In the evening, he returned to the clinic and did not see her, so he went straight to the South Street Clinic to ask his mother-in-law to help Meng Shuyue see a doctor.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his grandmother holding her head with a headache.
At that moment, he was petrified and realized that he had misunderstood what she said before.
Meng Shuyue almost burst out laughing while wrapped in his clothes, but her scalp also felt tingling.
The hot body temperature of the man behind her was transmitted to her through the clothes on her back.
She could even feel the man's strong heartbeat.
It was hard to imagine that the man leaning on her shoulder was the awe-inspiring but unkind Captain Shen whom many people described as awe-inspiring but unkind.
She opened her mouth with droopy eyebrows, trying to assert her wish to return to her parents' home, but her mouth was pinched into a duck's mouth by the man behind her.
"Okay, let's not go back to my parents' house, okay? You probably didn't eat much, so how about I take you to eat mutton soup?"
After saying that, Shen Jinxiao didn't care whether she was willing or not, and carried her in his arms and went to the mutton stall they had eaten at last time.
Because of the snow, the owner of the mutton soup shop had already set up a shed to block the snow.
As soon as Shen Jinxiao entered the shed, the hot air from his mouth sprayed into the air like mist. He patted the snowflakes scattered on his body and said to the boss with a cold face, "Boss, give me two bowls of mutton soup."
The boss glanced at the tall and handsome man and remembered that he was a familiar face who came to have a midnight snack with a beautiful pregnant woman last time.
He enthusiastically scooped two bowls of mutton soup and asked with a smile: "Why didn't you bring your young wife to eat with us today..."
"Hello, boss, I'm here!"
Meng Shuyue had been wrapped in the man's clothes and had been feeling suffocated for a long time. She stretched her head out from the collar of the man's coat and greeted the boss with a smile.
The mutton soup owner was so scared that he almost dropped the soup spoon in his hand. The hand that had originally withdrawn the meat shook several pieces of mutton into the bowl.
The boss felt distressed. He couldn't get it back, but he would feel like he was losing money if he didn't get it back. He could only gasp and blame, "You guys are here so late at night. Are you trying to scare people to death?"
Shen Jinxiao rubbed Meng Shuyue's furry hair inside the military coat. His expression remained cold, but his tone was full of doting, "It was too cold, and she was wearing too little, so I had to wrap her up."
In fact, what he was thinking was that he trapped her in the coat simply because he was afraid that she would run back to her parents' home.
As he spoke, he steadily held up the two bowls of mutton soup with one hand, and with the other hand he dragged the little person in his arms to sit down.
The mutton soup shop owner was stunned.
Shen Jinxiao put the bowl down, unbuttoned his clothes and let the suffocated young wife out of his arms.
Meng Shuyue wanted to pull her hands out to eat the meat, but she found that her arms were still stuck in the sleeves of the man's military coat. Because her hands were too short, they were confined inside and could not see the sun.
"Let me feed you."
Shen Jinxiao's frozen face finally couldn't help laughing after seeing her broken face.
He scooped up the mutton soup and fed it into her stomach mouthful by mouthful, and unexpectedly felt an indescribable sense of great satisfaction.
Outside the house, snowflakes were falling, already covering the streets at night with white, leaving only a piece of pure land under the shed.
After the woman in his arms burped, she realized belatedly that something was wrong with the man behind her.
When she turned around, she met the man's deep and burning eyes, staring at her quietly, with red and even wet eyes.
There are many emotions in it that she cannot understand.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Shuyue was burned by the fire in his eyes, and quickly lowered her head and asked him nervously.
What followed was a long, wet kiss on the forehead.
And the man's hoarse voice, as if it came through a layer of plastic bag, from a distant dream and reached her ears clearly.
"Shuyue, marry me, let's have a wedding..."
