By this time, Shen Qingli had already woken up and washed up. When Meng Xiao pushed the door open, she was bending over to put on her shoes.
Feeling a little confused, she raised her head and looked at him steadily. The man walked over naturally and held her tightly in a hug.
"I'm back."
"Um."
The man, who had always been aloof and reserved, was now kneeling on one knee, helping her put on her shoes. His hands were covered with thin calluses, and he was very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her fair and tender feet if he used a little force.
After putting on her shoes, the man looked up and saw her slightly flushed face.
Shen Qingli lowered her eyes to look at his face. He had lost some weight. The skin that had been restored with great difficulty some time ago had also become a little more worn.
"You've lost weight."
She spoke softly. Her fingers gently slid across his face to his jaw, and Meng Xiao moved closer to her.
Her eyes seemed to hold some anticipation, but when she didn't make the next move, Meng Xiao was about to reach for the back of her neck to close the distance between them, only to see the delicate woman in front of him lift his chin with a little force.
The next second, it was attached.
With a heart full of longing and heartache, she was very devoted, and the man obediently accepted the initiative of his beloved girl.
………………
Still in the same position, the two separated.
Shen Qingli looked at him with a smile.
"Why did you come back so suddenly?"
There had been no news from him for the past few days, and she had thought he would miss the baby's full moon. Now that he had rushed back after such a long journey, she felt a little distressed.
Maybe love is heartache.
She didn't know when it started, but she always felt sorry for Meng Xiao who had to go through wind and rain, and felt sorry for him who risked his life every time he went on a mission.
I feel sorry for him because sometimes he is very tired and exhausted, but his heart and eyes are still full of her, taking care of her, indulging her little temper and sometimes sudden and inexplicable irritability.
"miss you."
He took the little girl's hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it hard. Once was not enough, he kissed it again.
When he was not with her, he always felt that the little girl was pitiful. Sometimes he often blamed himself for not being able to accompany her more often, as she was alone most of the time.
He couldn't bear to see her suffer any hardship or fatigue.
He felt really bad for not being able to be with her when she gave birth.
Maybe love is always feeling indebted.
Because we care, we always have a lot of emotions for no reason.
I was afraid that she would feel bad, cry, suffer, be alone, not have enough to eat, or have no money to spend.
I was afraid that she would be unhappy and feel that her life would be difficult after marrying him.
He was afraid of many things and always felt that he owed his little girl. She was so good and so young, and she followed him.
I miss you. These few simple words are straightforward, gentle and inexplicably affectionate. All the little emotions in the two people's hearts seem to be filled and smoothed out in an instant.
There was obvious fatigue in Meng Xiao's eyes and brows. Shen Qingli knew that he must have rushed back without stopping as soon as he had time.
She wanted him to have a good rest, but he said he was reluctant to sleep.
How could Shen Qingli, who is so smart, not understand what he meant? He probably won't stay long this time.
She lowered her eyes, then raised her head again with a smile:
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow afternoon."
The system's rules have always been clear, not to mention that it is a military unit with high and strict requirements.
She smiled, not wanting to make him feel too guilty.
Maybe it was because they had just decided on the time of separation when they met, so there was always some inexplicable depression between them.
She stood up gently and held out her hand to him, asking him to hold her hand.
Only in front of Meng Xiao did she act like a little girl. She especially liked to speak softly and act coquettishly in front of Meng Xiao.
"I'm hungry, Meng Xiaoxiao."
He looked up at his little girl, took her hand tightly, and said in a light tone:
"Let's go and eat,"
Shen Qingli followed, lowered his eyes to look at the two people's clasped hands, revealing a faint smile.
That’s good, be content with what you have!
When she saw Fu Chen, she was stunned. Meng Xiao did not tell her what happened in the morning. He was planning to settle the score in the evening. The girl was so bold that she dared to sneak out before the end of her confinement.
Ye Qiu and Meng Ning were holding the child in the house, while Fu Chen was standing alone in the yard smoking.
Shen Qingli lowered his voice and leaned closer to Meng Xiao and said, "This Director Fu is quite handsome."
In Shen Qingli's opinion, Fu Chen is indeed handsome. His tall and straight figure is a special plus, and his well-defined face is handsome and tough. He and Meng Xiao and Ye Mingchuan are the same type of handsome guys with particularly regular looks and full of masculinity.
Shen Qingli called them "Chinese handsome guys".
The first feeling it gives people is a sense of security, stability and strength.
Meng Xiao used to have a hint of wild desire, but now he has more of the texture and charm of a mature man, an addictive "husband feeling".
Fu Chen is more like the old Meng Xiao: abstinent, cold-hearted, and seemingly serious.
Maybe because of his age, his every move and gesture has a more mature aura, steady and sharp.
Meng Xiao, who originally looked okay, paused slightly and pinched her palm with a little force as a punishment.
Praise others for being handsome in front of him?
However, while the two of them were interacting, he had already walked in front of Fu Chen and he didn't say anything else.
He put his arm around Shen Qingli's shoulders and placed his hand behind her back.
"Let me introduce you, this is Fu Chen, my big brother since childhood, just call him that.
Brother Fu, my wife, Shen Qingli."
Fu Chen curled his lips and stretched out his hand first:
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you last time."
"It's okay, Brother Fu."
Shen Qingli didn't dare to say more, as Meng Xiao's fingers on her back were already gently tapping her.
"When did you meet?" Meng Xiao didn't expect that apart from going out yesterday, when else did Shen Qingli meet Fu Chen?
"Just the police..."
"Brother Fu, Meng Xiao, let's eat quickly. Aunt Zhang has prepared dinner." Shen Qingli winked at Fu Chen and made a signal.
Fu Chen looked at the two people in front of him with amusement.
How obvious is his wife's cover-up? Meng Xiao is not blind, so he doesn't ask any more questions:
"Let's go, Brother Fu, and have dinner."
