"How old are you? You're just saying these things. Aren't you ashamed?"
Song Shishi raised her hand and scratched the tip of Meng Xiaoqi's nose, with a gentle smile on her lips.
Meng Xiaoqi stuck out her tongue playfully at Song Shishi, her eyes sparkling.
"Sister-in-law, you and my brother have to hurry up. When our nephew or niece is born, I can take him out to play around. When he goes to school, I can also help him with his studies."
At the dinner table, everyone was laughing and talking, and the warm atmosphere was like the warm sunshine in spring.
…
As the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread across the country, five million people with dreams rushed to apply for the exam, including Song Shishi.
Her work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs became increasingly heavy. She accompanied Xie Yushan to attend various important meetings and had frequent contact with top diplomatic talents.
This not only greatly broadened her horizons, but also strengthened her determination to continue her studies through the college entrance examination.
...
...
After get off work every day, when other people in the military family compound were leisurely enjoying the cool air and chatting, she was alone studying hard under the dim light.
There were piles of densely packed notes around him.
Meng Xunzhou was also very busy in the army, devoting himself to various difficult tasks.
After finally making it to the eve of the college entrance examination, Song Shishi will step into the examination room tomorrow.
These days, in order to let her prepare for the college entrance examination with peace of mind, Xie Yushan specially gave her a few days off.
"Don't be too tired, take care of yourself."
Song Shishi, who was reviewing attentively under the desk lamp, suddenly heard Meng Xunzhou's voice. She raised her head and revealed a long-lost smile.
"Tomorrow is the college entrance examination. I am a little nervous. I thought reading a book might help me divert my attention and relieve some stress."
Meng Xunzhou's eyes fell on the pile of densely handwritten notes beside her, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
He naturally placed his hands on her shoulders and kneaded them gently, trying to help her dispel her fatigue.
Song Shishi raised her hand and covered Meng Xunzhou's hand, stood up, and faced Meng Xunzhou.
"Why did you come back so early today? Have you had dinner?"
"I ate in the army before coming back. Knowing that you will take the college entrance examination tomorrow, I made arrangements and came back early to accompany you."
Meng Xunzhou said this, hugging her in his arms with heartache.
"I know you work hard, but you can't exhaust yourself. I'll feel bad."
Song Shishi leaned in his arms, feeling his warmth, and nodded gently.
"What did you eat tonight? You didn't just make do with what you wanted while I was away, did you?"
As soon as Meng Xunzhou finished speaking, he heard Song Shishi's muffled laughter.
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself. Just focus on your own things and don't worry about me. As long as you can come back safely every time, I will feel at ease."
Song Shishi was in Meng Xunzhou's arms, looking up at him, her eyes full of dependence.
Meng Xunzhou has stubble on his chin. He has been very busy during this period, but he never talks about it.
"Yes, I know."
Meng Xunzhou touched her head and said, "I'll go boil some water. You can soak your feet and relax."
It is already December, and the cold wind in Beijing is cutting people like an ice knife.
"Then I'll help you. You've been very busy recently. Go to bed early today."
"good."
The two went to the kitchen side by side. Meng Xunzhou squatted down skillfully and added firewood to the stove. The flames licked the bottom of the pot happily, making his face red.
Song Shishi took a ladle and carefully scooped water into the pot. The sound of the water was particularly clear in the quiet kitchen.
This was a rare warm moment they had together after their marriage, and time seemed to have slowed down.
Meng Xunzhou didn't know whether it was because there were many doubts and dissatisfaction in the army after he was promoted to battalion commander, so he had been very busy after his marriage.
When Song Shishi was at home, the time Meng Xunzhou spent with her could be counted on ten fingers.
However, Song Shishi never felt resentful about this.
Although Meng Xunzhou is not at home most of the time, his heart is always concerned about this family.
Song Shishi discovered that every once in a while there would be more food or some practical items added to the house.
These were obviously sent back by Meng Xunzhou in his spare time.
After washing up, they lay on the bed, and Meng Xunzhou held Song Shishi in his arms.
"I heard that when you went back some time ago, your parents urged you to have a baby?"
"How do you know?"
In order not to distract Meng Xunzhou, Song Shishi deliberately did not tell Meng Xunzhou about this matter.
Anyway, they have no intention of having children for the time being, so it doesn’t matter whether they say it or not.
But she didn't say who told Meng Xunzhou?
He is so busy, the man must have called him specifically to tell him about this.
Meng Xunzhou roughly guessed what she was thinking and reached out to touch the tip of her nose.
"Don't think too much. My mother knew that my mother-in-law had told you about this that day. She felt guilty, so she called me and asked me to comfort you."
"I haven't seen you mention this either."
Song Shishi raised her head slightly and rested her forehead against Meng Xunzhou's chin.
"When I came back, I saw you sleeping soundly. I thought you didn't take it to heart, so I didn't mention it."
After saying that, Meng Xunzhou kissed Song Shishi on the forehead.
"Go to bed early and get enough rest. You have to take the exam tomorrow."
After saying this, Meng Xunzhou hugged Song Shishi's arms tightly and slowly closed his eyes.
Song Shishi responded softly.
The sound of Meng Xunzhou's steady and strong heartbeat in her ears made her feel particularly at ease.
Why did Meng Xunzhou suddenly bring up the matter of children today? Could it be that he wanted a child?
Unconsciously, Song Shishi's breathing gradually calmed down.
Early the next morning, Meng Xunzhou prepared breakfast and helped Song Shishi pack the things she needed to bring to the exam.
After sending Song Shishi to the entrance of the examination room, Meng Xunzhou reminded her, "Don't be nervous, just perform at your usual level. I believe in you!"
"Aren't you going back to the army?"
Seeing that Meng Xunzhou had no intention of leaving, Song Shishi couldn't help but ask another question.
"I'll leave after I see you go in."
Meng Xunzhou tightened her collar, patted her shoulder and motioned her to go in.
In fact, he was going out on a mission today, but because the mission was special, he had to keep it secret.
In addition, Song Shishi was going to take the college entrance examination, and he didn't want to affect her.
Song Shishi walked into the gate and turned around to look in the direction of Meng Xunzhou again. He was still standing there, smiling at her.
She smiled back and waved to Meng Xunzhou.
Maybe she was overthinking it. She always felt that Meng Xunzhou was a little unusual, but she couldn't tell what the problem was.
Shaking off the random thoughts in her mind, Song Shishi stepped into the examination room.
Meng Xunzhou stood outside the examination room until he could no longer see Song Shishi, then he turned and left.
It's time for him to return to the army and reunite with everyone.
I don’t know how long I’ll be gone this time.
However, after this mission is over, he will be able to spend more time at home with Song Shishi.
