Gu Jiuyan tightened his hand on Shen Yunshu's waist: "With you and the child here, I can't bear to die."
If he died, what would happen to his wife and children? He would crawl back even if he had to.
That night, neither of them could sleep. They snuggled up to each other, enjoying their own space before parting.
When it was almost dawn, Shen Yunsu could no longer resist the sleepiness in her body and fell asleep in a daze. She clung to Gu Jiuyan like a kangaroo, and she couldn't get rid of him even if she wanted to.
Gu Jiuyan lowered his head to look at his sleeping wife, and he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her lips that were so close to him.
Shen Yunshu felt a mosquito biting her mouth while she was sleeping. She subconsciously waved her arms towards the hateful mosquito.
Gu Jiuyan, who had stolen the beauty's fragrance, was slapped hard on the right half of his face, and it swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His wife hit him... really hard, Gu Jiuyan thought, covering the swollen right half of his face.
Without those annoying mosquitoes, Shen Yunshu smiled sweetly in his sleep.
Seeing that they were about to be late, Gu Jiuyan looked at his sleeping wife in his arms reluctantly and carefully took her hand away from his waist, but she held on tightly. Gu Jiuyan was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead but he still failed.
"Shushu, let go." Gu Jiuyan said softly.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Shen Yunshu clung to him even tighter like an octopus, and rubbed her palm-sized face against his chest again and again.
"What a witch." Gu Jiuyan felt like he was about to explode.
Finally, as a last resort, Gu Jiuyan woke up Shen Yunshu who was clinging to him.
Shen Yunshu, who had just woken up from his sleep, had not yet fully awakened his brain, and looked at Gu Jiuyan with hazy eyes.
"Wife, let go. I'm going to be late if I don't leave now." Gu Jiuyan's voice was mixed with a hint of helplessness, but his eyes kept wandering on Shen Yunshu's face and belly.
If I could come back alive, I would be the father of six children.
Shen Yunshu regained his senses, his brain instantly cleared up and he pushed away the hand that was on Gu Jiuyan's waist.
Gu Jiuyan got out of bed and put on his clothes. Shen Yunshu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him blankly. Thinking of the dream that night when Gu Jiuyan was eaten by a wild boar, she still felt a lingering fear.
Gu Jiuyan dressed very quickly and finished his clothes in a short while. He carried the backpack prepared by Shen Yunshu to the bedside, kissed Shen Yunshu's face with reluctance, and finally moved his hands down to Shen Yunshu's bulging belly.
The children in the belly seemed to know that their father was leaving, and their restless little feet kicked around.
Shen Yunshu couldn't bear the pain and cried out.
Gu Jiuyan's expression changed instantly. He put his hand on his belly and sternly taught him:
"My wife has been through a lot carrying you. If you dare to bully her while I'm away, I'll punish you severely when I get back. I'll make you run five kilometers around the playground with weights every day."
The children seemed to be frightened. They curled up obediently and didn't dare to kick or move.
Noticing that they had behaved themselves, Gu Jiuyan looked up at the faces of the people in front of him with satisfaction: "Wife, I'll help you deal with them when I come back."
"The child in my belly is yours. Are you willing to kill them?"
"I'm willing to do that. It's wrong for them to bully you. If they do that, they must be beaten." Education comes from the stick. This is how he went through his childhood.
Shen Yunshu looked at the serious Gu Jiuyan and began to sweat for the child in her belly.
It is not clear whether it is a blessing or a curse for them to have a father like Gu Jiuyan who would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.
There was not much time left, and even if Gu Jiuyan was reluctant to leave, he had to go. Before he left, Shen Yunshu stopped him.
Gu Jiuyan looked at her in confusion.
Shen Yunshu carefully got off the bed, protecting her belly, walked to the wardrobe, and took out a small box. Inside the box was a necklace strung with a red string.
Shen Yunshu asked Gu Jiuyan to lower his head, and she stood on tiptoe to help him put on the necklace.
"The necklace contains a life-saving drug. I bought it at a high price from a man with blue eyes and yellow hair. Don't take it unless it's absolutely necessary."
Shen Yunshu lied. This pill was actually a wedding gift given to her and Gu Jiuyan by her grandparents when they got married.
At this moment, she couldn't think about too much. She just wanted the father of her child to come back alive and safe.
Gu Jiuyan touched the pendant and looked at his wife who blushed when she lied, with a bright smile in his eyes.
Then, before Shen Yunshu could react, he hugged her and kissed her deeply.
Just when Shen Yunshu was about to gasp for breath, he let her go and whispered in her ear: "Wife, stay home with the children and wait for me to come back."
Gu Jiuyan left.
Dumplings were prepared on the bus, and noodles were served when the bus got off. Grandma Gu was afraid that she would not have enough time, so she got up early to wrap and cook the dumplings.
At this time, Gu's mother stood at the door for a long time holding a bowl of dumplings that were almost cold.
Seeing her son coming out, Mother Gu quickly came forward with dumplings and said, "You like pork and celery filling. Have a few bites before you leave."
In fact, Gu's mother was worried that her son would never be able to eat dumplings stuffed with pork and celery again. This mission was full of dangers, and his in-laws said that several waves of people had been killed.
Gu Jiuyan looked at his mother with red and swollen eyes, and his nose felt a little sour. In order to cover up his loss of composure, he took the bowl and started eating in big mouthfuls.
He ate one dumpling at a time and soon finished all the dumplings in the bowl.
"Are you full? There's more in the pot."
Gu Jiuyan stopped his mother from going to the kitchen to serve dumplings: "Mom, we're running out of time."
Mother Gu's body stiffened, and then tears streamed down her face. Not wanting her son to worry about her, she hurriedly tried to wipe the tears from her face, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wipe them away.
"Mom, I'll leave Shushu and the child to you."
Mother Gu sobbed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you take good care of Shushu and the child. You also have to listen to me and come back early."
"I will."
After saying goodbye to the two elderly people in his family, Gu Jiuyan picked up his backpack and left without looking back.
Standing outside the gate were Shen's father and mother who came to see him off.
"Stinky boy, come back alive, this is an order." Father Shen's voice was choked.
"Yes, sir." Gu Jiuyan said and saluted him.
Mother Shen also warned with tears in her eyes: "Be careful when you are outside, Shushu and her baby are waiting for you to come back at home, you don't have to worry too much about home when you are outside, Shushu and her baby are taken care of by us, everything will be fine."
Gu Jiuyan bowed to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then left as they looked on with tears in their eyes.
