Ling Chuan was simply expressing the idea that having her by his side was enough, but when he said it at this moment, the atmosphere inexplicably became ambiguous and charming.
Shao Mo was not opposed to matters between men and women, but she did not want to take the initiative to break that relationship, so she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Ling Chuan worshipped his wife as a deity and didn't dare to harbor any blasphemous thoughts towards her. Before the fiery desire was about to burn his reason asunder, he released his hands that were restrained on his wife's waist.
Awakened by the cold, Shao Mo subconsciously opened her eyes and saw the man getting up cautiously.
"Where are you going?"
Hearing her voice, Ling Chuan turned around and said, "Wife, did I wake you up? I'm going to the bathroom."
"Oh, go ahead."
Shao Mo wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, leaving only half of her face exposed, and just watched the man put on his coat and go out.
After a long time, she turned over and buried the remaining half of her face in the quilt.
"This idiot!"
Mumbling something, she soon fell into a sweet sleep.
When Ling Chuan is not at home, life goes on as usual. Shao Mo goes to class, grows flowers and grass, draws designs, goes back to the Shao family to have dinner with Mrs. Shao and Shao Lin, and sometimes goes out with classmates to go shopping, watch movies and eat. But when she has free time, she always feels that something is missing in her body.
Fortunately, time flies quickly and Lingchuan’s training will be over in two days.
The training ended on the weekend, and in order to give Lingchuan a surprise, Shao Mo booked a flight for Friday afternoon in advance.
After class on Friday morning, Shao Mo returned to the courtyard, had a simple lunch, and then set off for the airport.

Ever since they exchanged pager numbers, Shen Zhen always called Zeng Fang no matter what, and when she called back, he would ask about trivial matters.
Such as changing Fake's water and food today, not letting Fake sneak snacks, and even asking Fake how many times he defecated a day, which made Zeng Fang speechless.
"Shen Zhen, don't call me when you have nothing to do. Do you think calling is free?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I can reimburse you, okay?"
Shen Zhen's light words extinguished Zeng Fang's resentment. When she replied to Shen Zhen's pager later, she was not only very friendly, but also took the initiative to report in detail where Fak had gone today, which dog friends he met on the way, what he ate, how much he had pooped, and she talked as long as she could.
Shen Zhen pretended not to notice that she was deliberately extending the call so that she could get more reimbursement from him.
On Friday, Zeng Fang had just put the leash on Fake when the pager in her pocket rang.
She picked up the phone in the living room and called the number on the pager. As expected, it was Shen Zhen calling.
"Have you been out?"
Zeng Fang was about to say no, but her eyes suddenly turned and she said quickly, "It's out. I've already taken Fake to the park."
Shen Zhen on the other end of the phone smiled, "So early today?"
Zeng Fang's neck stiffened. "I came here early because I didn't have classes in the afternoon. Is there a problem?"
"Okay, no problem. I'm on Zhongshan Road. Bring Fake over here now."
Zhongshan Road is not close to here. Zeng Fang was about to refuse, but Shen Zhen was quicker than her. "Take a taxi and I'll reimburse you for the round-trip fare. Send Fake here and you'll have completed your dog-walking mission today."
"make a deal!"
It costs at least 10 yuan to take a taxi from here to Zhongshan Road, which means 20 yuan for a round trip.
She could take a taxi to send Fak there first, and then take the bus directly back to the courtyard, thus saving 9 yuan!
It was Friday, and it was almost time to get off work. The traffic was extremely congested, but Zeng Fang was not in a hurry at all. She rubbed the golden retriever's head and hummed a song.
Even the taxi driver was amused by her leisurely attitude, and felt that she had a good personality and was not impatient.
Zeng Fang laughed it off but was secretly proud of herself in her heart.
The more congested the road is and the more expensive the taxi fare is, the more she earns, so of course she is happy.
She is so smart!
It took Zeng Fang 35 minutes to get to a place that should have taken 20 minutes, and the fare was exactly 15 yuan! Zeng Fang happily paid the taxi fare, and then took Fake to the restaurant address given by Shen Zhen.
Then why did Shen Zhen ask her to bring the dog here? Was he teasing her?
Zeng Fang could only temporarily hand Fak's photo to the staff, and went into the restaurant with doubts to find Shen Zhen to get the taxi fare.
Maybe because it was still early, there were not many people in the restaurant, and Zeng Fang found Shen Zhen easily.
There were a large group of people at the table, both men and women. She knew almost all the men, but had never seen any of the women.
Zeng Fang didn't care and walked straight to Shen Zhen. Shen Zhen saw that she was empty-handed and asked directly, "Where's Fake?"
"At the restaurant entrance."
"Bring it in."
Zeng Fang rolled her eyes secretly, "Pets are not allowed in the restaurant."
"Are you stupid? Can't you tell me my name?" Shen Zhen clicked his tongue lightly, then stood up and walked towards the restaurant door.
"You're stupid."
Zeng Fang subconsciously followed him, muttered something under her breath, and then sneered: "Do you think you can come in just by saying your name, Fake? Do you think you are a big shot?"
Shen Zhen glanced back at her with a smile.
When he turned his head back, Zeng Fang immediately made a face.
At the restaurant entrance, when the staff learned that Fak was Shen Zhen's dog, they immediately handed him the dog leash with both hands.
Shen Zhen turned his head and gestured to her, "Hold on, and follow me in."
Zeng Fang took the dog leash from the staff, but didn't want to go in again. "I'm not going in. Give me the fare."
Shen Zhen turned and looked at her. "I don't have any money on me. You can either come with me to get the money, or go back by yourself."
Zeng Fang just spent 15 yuan on a taxi, so she was unwilling to just leave like that. She could only hold Fak's hand and follow him into the restaurant.
"Do you understand now?"
"Know what?"
Shen Zhen suddenly said this without any reason, and Zeng Fang was puzzled.
Shen Zhen tilted his head to look at her, "Do you know if my reputation is useful?"
Zeng Fang glanced at Fak who was following her obediently, puffed her face and said nothing.
Shen Zhen sneered, "It's no use not to accept it. In the capital, my name is very useful. Remember that."
She just doesn't remember.
Zeng Fang complained silently in her heart, her mouth as shut as a clam.
Returning to the dining table, Shen Zhen kicked the chair leg of Zhou Ye, who was sitting next to him.
Zhou Ye looked back at Shen Zhen, and Zeng Fang, who was like Shen Zhen's little follower, very tactfully moved to the side.
Zhou Ye moved, and the others followed suit, one after another like dominoes, and soon the seat next to Shen Zhen was vacated.
Shen Zhen pointed to an empty seat and said, "Sit here."
Zeng Fang glared at him secretly and wanted to say something but held back. However, as soon as she sat down, she found Shen Zhen staring at her with a teasing look in his eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
"What are you going to do sitting here?"
Zeng Fang had a question mark on her forehead, "Didn't you ask me to sit here?"
Shen Zhen pointed at Fake behind Zeng Fang and said, "I'm talking about this."
