His eyes were full of pain, but he blamed himself for not taking care of her.
Shen Liwu gently slapped his hand away, with a bit of anger between her eyebrows, "How can I lose weight? I'm obviously fatter."
She looked down at her slightly bulging belly, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, "The little guy has been very quiet recently, and hasn't tormented me much."
Zhou Yanjing’s palm was placed on her lower abdomen, and the warmth from his palm made Shen Liwu’s heart tremble slightly.
She looked up at him, her eyes as soft as a pool of spring water. Zhou Yanjing's eyes were full of tenderness, and his fingertips gently stroked her abdomen, as if he was stroking a treasure.
"How long can you stay this time?" Shen Liwu's voice was gentle, with a hint of anticipation and uneasiness.
Zhou Yanjing was silent for a moment, with a complicated look in his eyes. "It's not certain yet. We will make arrangements based on the development of the disease."
Shen Liwu nodded, her fingertips unconsciously fiddling with the rice in the bowl. She knew that as a member of the special forces, Zhou Yanjing's time never belonged to him. Even though she was extremely reluctant, she could only accept it silently.
After lunch, Zhou Yanjing took a day off today, and Shen Liwu simply didn't go to the laboratory and just rested for the whole afternoon.
On the way, Chen Liwu told Zhou Yanjing about the Siheyuan. He told her to handle it. It was reasonable for the driver to take the Siheyuan as a reward for her ability.
Because Zhou Yanjing came back, Shen Liwu asked the two soldiers who were protecting her to go back first and come back tomorrow.
When she got home, Shen Liwu hugged Zhou Yanjing and said, "I miss you."
Her voice was muffled in his chest, choked with sobs.
Shen Liwu raised her head, her eyes sparkling, “Have you been injured in the past two months?”
Zhou Yanjing chuckled and pinched her nose.
"Don't worry, your husband is not that fragile."
He lowered his head and gently pressed a gentle kiss on her lips, which was filled with longing and cherishment, as if to make up for the two months of separation.
After a moment, Zhou Yanjing stepped back slightly, "I miss you too, so I try to make myself stronger and come back to see you sooner."
Because he missed her, wanted to see her, wanted to kiss her and hug her, he did it. He used his longing as motivation and he achieved first place, because the first place winner received special treatment and could end the selection early.
"Aren't your legs sore from standing? Sit down." Zhou Yanjing supported her. He sat down first, then took her hand and let her sit on his lap.
He thought about this action for a long, long time.
Shen Liwu sat on his lap, she didn't know how happy she was written on her face.
"That is to say, only when you are here can I be a child. When you are not here, no one worries whether my legs are sore, and no one holds my hand for fear that I fall." Shen Liwu said this deliberately, and Zhou Yanjing felt extremely distressed.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Yanjing hugged her, his tone full of self-blame, "I can't always be by your side to take care of you. I can only finish the mission as soon as possible and come back to see you."
The thought that had been suppressed was brought up again. If only he were not a soldier, he could be with his wife at any time.
