Even though Shu Ying and the children were by his side during this time, he still often felt unreal.
He was seriously wounded on the front lines, but by divine intervention, he managed to fall just before the grenades came at him. Although his arm was shattered, he escaped a fatal wound.
That period was incredibly difficult, and he didn't want to recall it. But whenever the night was quiet, the image kept resurfacing in his mind. The more he tried to forget it, the more he couldn't.
Those comrades who sacrificed their lives there have remained there forever.
He dared not imagine what kind of life Shu Ying would lead if he really sacrificed himself, raising two children alone. He did not deny that she was an excellent woman, but even gods would encounter trouble, let alone her.
At first, he didn't understand Shu Ying's feelings for him, but after learning about the dire situation in the country, he had only one thought: he had to come back alive no matter what, and he would protect her no matter what the cost.
Looking back now, I'm glad he did it.
He dared not imagine what would happen to Shuying if she were really sent to the countryside, given that she knew nothing about farm work.
“楹楹”.
Xie Zhiyan hugged her even tighter, as if only in this way could he truly feel that Shuying really existed.
He called Shu Ying's name in a deep voice, softly expressing his love.
Actually, he didn't even know when he started to like Shu Ying. Maybe it was love at first sight from the first time they met, after all, she was really beautiful. Although it sounds a bit superficial, he never thought of himself as a profound person.
Liking someone is something that should be expressed. If he hadn't been so awkward, perhaps from the beginning, he and Shuying would have lived a harmonious and loving life together.
During the years he was on the battlefield, Shu Ying raised their two children alone, and he dared not think about the grievances she suffered.
"Yingying, thank you for raising the two children all by yourself. From now on, I will never let you and the children live the kind of life you used to live, and I will never let you face any threats."
This was his promise, and something he would remember for the rest of his life.
His reunion with Shu Ying had already used up all his luck. In the past, when he was on the battlefield, he only thought about how to win, but rarely considered his physical condition. But now he was even afraid of dying.
If he really is gone, who in this world will protect Shuying and the child?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems I'm not entirely comfortable entrusting it to anyone.
Shu Ying smiled slightly in her sleep, as if she had taken his words to heart. Although the two were not on the same wavelength, the affection between them in the room was genuine.
Shu Ying nestled into his arms, rubbing her delicate face against his body. Xie Zhiyan took a deep breath and closed his eyes after a long while, constantly reminding himself.
"Xie Zhiyan, you can't be such a beast! Yingying is already very tired today, you must restrain yourself!"
Sometimes, when the feeling came, he was scared of himself. He wanted to be a decent human being. If Shuying hadn't been fast asleep, he was worried that his personality would have slipped away again today.
Shu Ying had used her brain too much during the day, so she slept very soundly all night. She hadn't had such a peaceful sleep in a long time, and she had no dreams all night. When she woke up the next morning, Xie Zhiyan had just gotten up.
He had already gotten dressed. Hearing movement on the bed, he turned around and sat back down. "Why didn't you sleep a little longer? Did I wake you up while I was getting dressed?"
Shu Ying wrapped her two fair arms around his waist. Years of training had given Xie Zhiyan a great physique. He had no excess fat on his body, and his tall stature made his legs look even longer. He had strong lines on his body, but there was an indescribable personality about him. Shu Ying sighed that she was eating well.
"No, I slept so well last night, it was a high-quality sleep. Actually, I woke up when you moved just now, but I closed my eyes and rested for a while. Are you going to work now?"
Xie Zhiyan touched her hair. Since arriving in the capital, her hair had grown longer, making her look even more gentle and graceful than before.
"No rush, there's still plenty of time. Shall we get up now? The children should already be up. I just heard some noise downstairs; it must be the older sister making breakfast."
Song Zhaodi respected their habits. Even if she had prepared breakfast, she would not come up to call them. She would usually wait for Shuying to come down.
She lifted the blanket, revealing her slender neck, and large expanses of skin on her chest and back, causing Xie Zhiyan to hold his breath for a moment.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was already up, Xie Zhiyan would have lost control of his thoughts again. He turned his head away with some difficulty and closed his eyes, despising his self-control once a day.
“I have to get up. I saw the children in the morning yesterday, and they were already asleep when I came back in the evening. If I don’t see them now, I’ll have to wait until they get out of school in the evening. I’m starting to miss them.”
After becoming a mother, her biggest concern was her child. Shu Ying quickly changed her clothes, washed up as fast as she could, and casually tied her hair up. She looked much more refreshed.
The two of them went downstairs side by side. Yueyue and Yangyang were packing their schoolbags in the living room. When they saw Shuying come down, the two little ones ran over excitedly and hugged her legs.
"Mom, you're awake. We didn't see you when we came back last night. I've been missing you so much. I even dreamed about you when I was sleeping."
When Yueyue looked up, Shuying saw a chubby little face. Song Zhaodi was always determined to make all kinds of delicious food for them. The two children had grown a lot recently and gained some weight.
Shu Ying pinched the two little ones' cheeks. "Mommy missed you too. Did you behave well at home and listen to your aunt yesterday?"
Yangyang patted his little chest and solemnly assured, "Of course! Yesterday, Auntie made fried rice for us, and my sister and I ate a lot. We also finished our homework by ourselves."
