In the darkness, those dark, inky eyes suddenly met hers.
An indistinct emotion stirred within his deep eyes.
As if caught red-handed, Chen Sisi quickly looked away guiltily.
Realizing she was lusting after Gu Chengfeng's body, her heart skipped a beat, losing its usual rhythm...
After a while, the sound of running water came from the toilet.
Chen Sisi listened intently; it was Gu Chengfeng taking a shower.
He didn't boil water; he took a cold shower!
In the dead of winter, aren't you afraid of catching a cold...?
He added a lot of coal to the stove, making it burn brightly and warming the house.
After taking a shower, Gu Chengfeng felt the heat wash away from his body.
He got dressed and went outside, and could clearly feel the change in temperature at home.
Chen Sisi sat by the small iron stove, on which a pot of hot water was boiling.
"Why didn't you boil water? What if you get cold..." Shen Sisi was clearly worried, but her tone revealed a hint of resentment.
Gu Chengfeng dried his short hair with a towel, which steamed from the heat of the stove.
"I'm used to it, I'm not cold." Gu Chengfeng draped the towel on the rack.
The two sat facing each other, lost in thought, when suddenly they heard a voice from the man.
"Is Niu Niu asleep?"
"She's asleep." She glanced into the room to make sure the child was asleep.
"I've already made arrangements with the military hospital. Professor Fei, a cardiology and pulmonology expert, will personally examine Niu Niu tomorrow."
These days, Shen Sisi hasn't mentioned a single word about Niu Niu's illness.
First, Niu Niu's condition improved after she arrived in Jiangcheng.
Secondly, she and Gu Chengfeng hadn't registered their marriage yet, and she still had a lot of things to do, so she couldn't urge him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chengfeng kept it in mind.
She was so moved she didn't know what to say: "Thank you so much, you've gone to so much trouble..."
Gu Chengfeng looked at the small face in front of him, the slightly red nose, and the eyes that looked as if they had been washed with water.
“I am also Niu Niu’s father. I hope she can get better soon and grow up healthy…” Gu Chengfeng’s features softened as he spoke, illuminated by the lamplight.
She was stunned for a moment, feeling a little bittersweet but mostly happy.
Gu Chengfeng genuinely likes Niu Niu!
Although he is not Niu Niu's biological father, he is better than a biological father to her.
Gu Chengfeng's serious expression touched Shen Sisi's heart, just as the water was gradually boiling.
The water boiled, and he got up to fill the thermos, then poured the remaining water into two enamel cups.
He raised his enamel mug, using water instead of wine: "All the suffering is over. Let's toast to today and to the future!"
Those few words struck her heart with heavy weight.
Shen Sisi also picked up her glass, and through the rising steam, a gentle smile bloomed on her lips: "Gu Chengfeng, happy wedding..."
They clinked glasses, smiled at each other, as if they were drinking a toast together.
On their first night as husband and wife, they lay in their own beds, separated by a wall.
In the darkness, all the senses are subtly amplified.
Gu Chengfeng lay on the soft bed that Shen Sisi had made herself, listening to the slight sounds of her turning over, a smile lingering on his lips for a long time…
When Chen Sisi woke up in the morning, the fire on the stove was already lit.
Gu Chengfeng got up early, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then boiled water for washing up.
"Don't we have to go to the military camp today?" Shen Sisi asked, leaning against the door.
Her long hair was loose, and she yawned lazily, like a kitten that had just woken up.
The large hand that was adding firewood to the fire paused for a moment, and he said, "I'm taking the day off to take Niu Niu to the hospital for a check-up."
Chen Sisi frowned, not expecting that he had even taken a special leave of absence.
Thinking that the expert was invited by Gu Chengfeng, and that he might not be able to handle it if he didn't go, Bian didn't refuse anymore.
In the morning, she personally made two meat-filled noodle dishes.
Cut the lean meat into small cubes, then stir-fry it with some sauce until it turns into a thick and beautiful golden-yellow sauce.
Gu Chengfeng ate two bowls of noodles. If he wasn't afraid of scaring Chen Sisi, he could have eaten another bowl.
Niu Niu also had a great appetite, finishing all the noodles in her bowl and even drinking the soup.
After breakfast, it was almost time for the experts to start work. Gu Chengfeng took out his old bicycle, removed the big red flower from the handlebars, and straddled the bicycle with his long, straight legs, firmly supporting himself on the ground.
He patted the brand-new back seat, which was covered with a soft cushion.
"Get on, let's ride a bike."
Chen Sisi originally wanted to hold her child and sit in the back seat, but it was too crowded.
Gu Chengfeng turned around, put his hands through Niu Niu's arms, and placed her on the bicycle frame in front of him.
The crossbars of the frame were also covered with soft padding, so when Niu Niu sat sideways on it, it didn't hurt her bottom at all.
"You did all of this!" Shen Sisi was surprised that he was so meticulous.
Gu Chengfeng hummed in agreement, holding Niu Niu firmly with both hands to ensure she wouldn't fall.
A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes: "Come on up, hold me tight."
Without much thought, Chen Sisi reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Gu Chengfeng pushed off with his foot, and the whole car shot forward...
Chen Sisi subconsciously hugged his waist tightly, pressing her cheek against his broad back.
I rode my bike through the residential compound.
They attracted attention along the way.
Gu Chengfeng glared back at them all with a cold face.
Chen Sisi, however, was unfazed and smiled calmly.
An unlikely family of three, like the wind, swept freely and happily through their world...
They were so open and happy.
It made people's eyes redden.
