But his wife wanted to be the leader's wife, and he didn't want to disappoint her.
"I don't blame you, I just miss you." Shen Liwu leaned in Zhou Yanjing's arms and acted coquettishly. In the two months when he was away, she always thought of their past days. She missed him a lot, but she also knew that she couldn't be willful. Zhou Yanjing was a soldier, and she couldn't ask for too much, otherwise he would be embarrassed.
Zhou Yanjing hugged her and kissed her earlobe gently, his gentle voice echoing in her ear, "I know, I know even if you don't say it."
He knew it was not easy for her to be alone, carrying his child while busy with her own career, and he had long felt guilty. But he also knew that she was stronger than anyone else and would never show her weakness easily.
"I will try my best to make time to accompany you in the future. Even if it's only for a few hours, I will come." Zhou Yanjing's voice was low and firm, with unquestionable determination.
Shen Liwu looked up at him, the emotions in his eyes surged like an ocean, and finally turned into a gentle smile.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Zhou Yanjing patted her back gently, "Are you tired? Do you want to lie down for a while?"
Shen Liwu shook her head and leaned on his shoulder, “I’m not tired, I just want to stay like this.”
Zhou Yanjing didn't say anything else, but just hugged her tighter. The two of them snuggled together quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment, with only the intertwined sounds of each other's breathing remaining.
After a while, Shen Liwu suddenly remembered something and asked softly: "By the way, after you come here today, are you going back to Wenshan? Or not?"
"Don't go there anymore. Just take a rest for a few days and then arrange the specific tasks later." Zhou Yanjing's answer was concise and clear, but there was a hint of fatigue in his tone.
Shen Liwu noticed this keenly and looked up at him, "Are you tired? The intensity of your training during this period must have been very high, right?"
Zhou Yanjing smiled, his eyes gentle, "It's okay, I'm used to it. But you, I see you don't look very well, have you been working too hard recently?"
Shen Liwu pursed her lips and did not deny it, "I have been a little busy recently, but I can still handle it."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. This infectious disease is coming in with great force. You must take good protection and don't let yourself fall." Zhou Yanjing gently stroked her back with his hand, as if to soothe her emotions.
Shen Liwu nodded, snuggled in his arms, felt the warmth and breath from his body, and relaxed completely. She closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.
The next morning, Shen Liwugang's laboratory commander came.
But this time he brought bad news.
Her stepmother was involved in this epidemic. She held her father hostage and threatened to see her.
It seems to be similar to what she thought. This time the illness was man-made, but she never thought that her stepmother would be an enemy spy.
She and Zhou Yanjing came to the place designated by Mei Yanqiu, which was surrounded by mountains. Nan Province was originally a mountainous area. Mei Yanqiu tied Shen Wanshan up and stood on a cliff, surrounded by soldiers on all sides.
Seeing Shen Liwu coming, Shen Wanshan’s eyes were red, and he yelled: “Wuwu, go away, you shouldn’t come here.”
Shen Wanshan is the vice governor of Southern Province and her father.
Mei Yanqiu stood on the edge of the cliff, the wind ruffled her long hair, and the smile on her face was twisted and crazy. She stuffed Shen Wanshan's mouth, holding a sharp dagger in her hand, with the blade pressed against Shen Wanshan's neck. Just a slight scratch would take his life.
Shen Wanshan's hands were tied behind his back, a piece of rag was stuffed in his mouth, and he struggled and whimpered vaguely.
