"It's my fault, it's my fault. I misunderstood. I thought you didn't want it and was afraid you'd really get pregnant. I... I'll hold it in."
Before he could finish speaking, another burst of cheerful laughter erupted.
Jian Dan understood immediately, and in her anger, she reached out and pinched the flesh on his waist.
Why do you say all sorts of things?
A large hand gently patted his back.
"It was my fault. I should have explained things to you earlier. Don't feel pressured. Just let things take their course. If you have a child, it's a gift from God. If you don't, it's just that your time hasn't come yet. Don't overthink it."
Neither of us has been parents before; it's our first time, so we're just figuring things out as we go. There's nothing inherently good or bad about it. I'll learn how to do it, so don't worry.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered. You have a man to rely on, so don't keep everything to yourself. Leave it to me."
The issue wasn't resolved, but once the topic was brought up, she, being easygoing, put it out of her mind. Little did she expect that she would give the man an excuse.
That evening, coincidentally, Cheng Chao left on an urgent mission, leaving only the young couple at home. They quickly set the table, and as soon as he returned, she was about to say something when he suddenly hugged her, and then, with a few kisses and caresses, they couldn't stop.
"Hey? Let's eat! Let's eat first!"
"no,"
The man carried her to the kang (a heated brick bed), and casually drew the curtains.
"Huh? No, you, um~"
She was forced down beneath him with barely any resistance, panting heavily.
"What are you doing? It's not even dark yet."
The man's eyes held a mixture of amusement, desire, restraint, and an undeniable dominance.
"Then let's go all out and indulge in debauchery in broad daylight. Goodness, I'm very happy, really."
"Um...wait, the door..."
"I've locked it! No one will come."
"you!"
The next second, the man's burning lips covered hers, his large hands skillfully igniting a fire on her delicate body. Clothes fluttered in the wind, and Jian Dan quickly had no time to think about anything else.
They lingered on the kang (heated brick bed) in tender affection, only resting at dawn.
The steaming food on the table went unnoticed, allowed to cool down little by little.
The rows of courtyards behind quickly rose up and blended seamlessly with the family quarters in front.
A few days later, Cheng Chao led the first group of people back to the family compound. Whether it was logistics or infrastructure construction, it was all the responsibility of Political Commissar Qin Qinghuai.
At that moment, Qin Qinghuai had just scooped out the noodles, quickly took them and distributed them to the children, asking them as he did so...
"Do you really not need to send food to your parents?"
"No need, there are too many people over there, they can't eat it if I send it over. I'll cook it for them when I get back. This sauce is ready, it'll be quick."
Just then, Cheng Chao entered with three people, his face dark.
One was missing his right arm, another was blind in one eye, and the fingers on his left hand were all severed at the root. The last one was left with only one leg and one arm.
What they all had in common was that they were somewhat hesitant, after all, they had received far too many disdainful looks.
The children in the room immediately fell silent. After all, the old man had been in the army for so many years, and they had seen this kind of situation before. Qin Jing could tell at a glance that the adults had something to say, so he whispered to his younger brothers to eat quickly, while he ate and took care of Qin Heng at the same time.
Qin Qinghuai strode out to greet him.
"You're back?"
Cheng Chao responded with a muffled sound.
Seeing this, Qin Qinghuai didn't ask any more questions and simply stepped aside, fulfilling his duty as a host.
"Brothers, come in and rest. Everything over there is ready, but we can't cook yet. Have a simple meal here before you go back."
