After dinner, when Meng Xiao returned to the room, Shen Qingli was soaking her feet. The two children next to her were lying on the bed, trying hard to lift their heads.
It is so cute with its chubby head, but it can't last more than a few seconds. Its head droops heavily on the bed again, its face buried in the quilt, and its little arms, legs and body twisting like a caterpillar, which is so cute that it can melt anyone's heart.
At least that's what Shen Qingli and Meng Xiao who were standing next to them saw.
Meng Xiao hadn't washed up yet, so he consciously didn't sit on the bed. He pulled the stool in front of the table and sat down next to Shen Qingli and the child.
Shen Qingli just picked up the towel to wipe her feet, and Meng Xiao quickly took it from her: "I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it!" Shen Qingli glanced at him and said nothing. This guy must have something to say later!
But she didn't say anything and just enjoyed Meng Xiao's service.
After drying his feet, Meng Xiao carefully picked up the essential oil and moisturizer next to him, mixed and emulsified them in his palms, and carefully applied them little by little on Shen Qingli's fair and delicate feet, waiting for it to be fully absorbed over and over again.
Shen Qingli looked at him and frowned. If someone is being too attentive to him for no reason, he must be a traitor or a thief. Something must be wrong with him!
After applying the water to his feet, Meng Xiao consciously picked up the basin and prepared to pour it out. He stood up straight and stood there again.
The next second he put it back, pulled the corner of his mouth, and smiled foolishly: "I'll wash it too, it's just right."
Shen Qingli hummed lightly, turned around and started playing with the two cubs, manually helping them turn over. They had practiced enough for today, and he was afraid that they would be tired if they practiced for too long. They were still too young, so the practice could not take too long.
Meng Xiao was hesitant to speak, and he opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything. Shen Qingli glanced at him. She thought she had probably guessed the reason for his hesitation, which was that he might have to go on another mission.
In fact, she couldn't help but feel a little sad for Meng Xiao's cautiousness.
In fact, it was really nothing for her. When she was willing to be with him at first, to be a military wife and to follow the army, she had already known that in the future he would accompany her and participate less in the family.
She never blamed him.
She knew that Meng Xiao often felt guilty because he could not give her more company and more care for the children.
She never had any resentment or dissatisfaction in her heart. In her heart, he was her hero.
The only thing that made her uncomfortable was that every time he went on a mission, she was worried at home. Every time he was on a mission, she was worried and anxious.
She knew that Meng Xiao always felt sorry for her and was full of guilt and self-blame towards her because of going on missions. She thought that this hesitation today was also the case.
Meng Xiao waited until he poured out the foot washing water, brushed his teeth and took a shower outside before coming in. This time he sat next to Shen Qingli and the child.
He picked up the two children, Meng Xi and Meng Lian, and lifted them up high in turn, causing the two human cubs to giggle.
After playing for a while, Aunt Liu came to hold the child and said it was time to go to bed.
Meng Xiao was still considering whether to sleep with the baby tonight. Shen Qingli smiled at Aunt Liu and said, "Aunt, you can rest today. The two of us will sleep with the baby all night."
"Okay." After Shen Qingli said this, Aunt Liu didn't say anything else.
Meng Xiao's face showed a slight joy, but then he looked uneasy again. His wife? Did she guess that he was going to go on a mission?
He reached out and tugged at the corner of Shen Qingli's clothes, but after Shen Qingli looked at him, he suddenly didn't know how to start.
"Are we going on another mission?" Shen Qingli asked softly. Meng Xiao suddenly looked up at her, then lowered his head, not daring to look at Shen Qingli.
As expected, he guessed it. He knew that his wife was so smart that she must have seen it!
He lowered his brows and made a soft response, then lowered his head again. Shen Qingli felt a pang of pain in his heart and reached out to pat his head: "Is that all? I thought it was a big deal, but you're acting like you've done something to wrong me."
Meng Xiao suddenly raised three fingers and looked at her seriously: "Meng Xiao will never, ever let Shen Qingli down." This was his guarantee and also his promise to her.
Shen Qingli looked at him with a calm smile without saying anything. Meng Xiao suddenly looked at her with a worried look on his face.
"Let's not talk about whether we're separated or not. Every time I go on a mission, I always make you worry. I feel bad, and I can't bear to leave you both behind."
"Then try to come back safely as soon as possible and don't let me worry." Shen Qingli curled her red lips, smiled sweetly and said in a coquettish tone.
Meng Xiao replied "OK" and reached out to hold her in his arms, leaning against his shoulder. He knew that his wife was pretending to be relaxed, not wanting to make the atmosphere on the eve of their separation so heavy.
The two of them snuggled together quietly. After a while, Meng Lian got bored and started humming, and then Meng Xihe also started humming.
Shen Qingli nudged Meng Xiao and said, "Don't think you don't have to work today just because you're on a mission tomorrow. Go make some milk powder for your baby. The bottles and thermos are all outside."
"As you command!" Meng Xiao jumped up and saluted. He reached the door and poked his head out to take a look, then asked uncertainly, "Is it still the same four scoops of powdered milk?"
He remembered that the amount of milk these two cubs needed seemed to be constantly changing, increasing a little every half a month or a month. The last time he made milk powder was the day before yesterday.
Not sure, so it's better to ask.
"Five spoonfuls, one hundred and fifty of water."
"Okay."
