Meng Xiao didn't come back in the afternoon, and Shen Qingli was worried and couldn't let go.
She sat there holding Naitang, stroking his fur bit by bit, muttering to herself:
"Tart, when will your dad come back? I'm a little worried about him. What should I do?"
"Meow~"
"You think Dad will be safe? I think he will be safe too!"
"Meow~"
Finally, at around ten o'clock in the evening, Meng Xiao arrived home after a long day and knocked on the door. Shen Qingli opened the door and threw herself into his arms. The two hugged each other tightly without saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time, Meng Xiao's hoarse voice rang out: "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Have you eaten? I made some dumplings and want to cook them for you?" Shen Qingli asked, looking up, with a glimmer of crystal light in his eyes.
"I haven't eaten yet. I was afraid you'd worry, so I came back as soon as it was over."
He stroked her long, soft hair.
Shen Qingli was afraid that he wouldn't have enough to eat, so she cooked two large plates of dumplings for him. When she brought the dumplings to the living room, her nose felt sore and she felt like crying.
Meng Xiao had fallen asleep while sitting on the chair. Because his center of gravity was unstable, his head drooped slightly.
Shen Qingli was afraid that he would fall, so he put the dumplings on the table and went forward to gently support him. Meng Xiao woke up with a daze and looked at Shen Qingli with a slightly confused look:
"Asleep."
"Eat quickly so you can rest early." Shen Qingli handed the chopsticks to him and said softly.
"Um."
The only sound in the living room was the sound of him eating. He was so hungry that he must have been too busy to eat.
"Has that matter been resolved? Has the person been apprehended?
Shen Qingli hesitated for a moment and after careful consideration, he finally asked.
She didn't know if it was a military secret, but she really wanted to know what happened next! It would be best if all the bad guys were caught!
"Not yet. There are names of people hidden in several garrisons, and with the cooperation of all parties, they have all been apprehended. The letter also mentions a hidden source within the government and other agencies, and the higher-ups are investigating. As for what the investigation revealed and how it was resolved, I can't say anything. It's confidential."
"Yeah, it's okay. I understand."
After finishing the meal, Shen Qingli stood up to collect the bowl, but he stopped her and said, "Put it here and sleep with me for a while."
He was also very sleepy, and fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow. There was still some heavy breathing. Meng Xiao didn't snore, so his breathing was just a little heavier today.
Shen Qingli snuggled in his arms and soon felt sleepy.
In a daze, I seemed to hear him say: "Wife, don't look down on me for not washing up and going to bed."
"Good night." Shen Qingli said, raised the corners of his mouth and closed his eyes.
How could I dislike you?
My great hero.
Shen Qingli hadn't slept well the night before, and slept until noon. Meng Xiao had already cleared the table, and the dirty clothes were soaking in the basin. Just as Shen Qingli was loading the clothes into the washing machine, he noticed Meng Xiao had returned. He poured in the laundry detergent and disinfectant, pressed the control panel, and left.
"The food in the cafeteria is good today. The chef's dishes are delicious. I brought some food back from the cafeteria for us to eat together." Meng Xiao raised the lunch box in his hand.
"You eat first. I just got up and haven't brushed my teeth yet." Shen Qingli took half a cup of cold water and added half a cup of hot water from the thermos. He stood beside the mud in the yard, bent down slightly and started brushing his teeth.
Meng Xiao was not idle either. Thinking that his wife must have just gotten up and had not taken care of Naitang yet, he poured cat food into Naitang's small bowl and opened a can of fish. He went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, and filled an enamel basin with warm water for Shen Qingli to wash her face.
She took out the face towel and cleanser from the room and stood beside the washbasin rack, leaning against the wall and waiting.
He was watching Shen Qingli wash her face. After Shen Qingli finished washing her face, he reached out and handed her a face towel, and said leisurely: "My wife is beautiful, even without makeup!"
Shen Qingli was wearing pink fluffy pajamas. Her unmade-up face was as tender as a baby's, and there were still water droplets on her hair at the temples from washing her face.
Paji kissed Meng Xiao on the face, "You're so sweet, this is a reward for you."
Meng Xiao's heart seemed to be gently tickled, and he felt numb and filled with joy.
He took two steps forward to catch up with her, took Shen Qingli's hand and with a push, Shen Qingli turned into his arms.
"Not enough." He stared at her for two seconds, half-smiling. The tenderness in his eyes was enough to make one sick.
"It's not enough, so it is. Get out of the way! I want to eat, honey, I'm so hungry..." Shen Qingli's pitiful tone made Meng Xiao suppress his enthusiasm.
"Eat, I won't argue with you anymore." He let her go and pushed her to sit on the chair, then handed the chopsticks to his little girl.
"So nice today?" Shen Qingli was still a little bit unconvinced. He just let her go like that? Why was she so nice today?
"It's not impossible for you to continue." He raised his eyebrows and said in an ambiguous tone.
"Eat, eat." Shen Qingli was the first to avoid his gaze. Who dared to continue? If she continued, she wouldn't have to eat today and would starve to death.
"Drink more of this chicken soup, it's very delicious." Meng Xiao poured a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of her.
"Okay, I'll try it." Shen Qingli took a sip, and the next second
"yue~vomit~"
Meng Xiao: ???
Toffee:???
"What's wrong? If it doesn't suit your taste, we won't drink it." Meng Xiao quickly stood up and stroked her back. Worry and panic filled his eyes.
It's okay. Maybe the chicken soup is a little oily because I just woke up." Shen Qingli waved his hand to signal him to take his hand away.
"Then I'll pour you a glass of water." While he was pouring the water, his eyes kept looking at Shen Qingli.
