After seeing everyone off, Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo also went to rest. They couldn't stay any longer; seeing Shouyi staring at Hongmei like a wolf, they felt genuinely embarrassed.
"Brother Zhang, are you going to take a shower?"
"Wife, shall we go together?"
"No, you go to the outside bathroom, I'll use our own."
"Sure."
Zhang Hongmei was surprised that Zhang Shouyi was so easy to talk to. She quickly called Uncle Li over to bring hot water, since there was still running water inside.
Without even entering the space, I prepared the water and sat in the bathtub.
Just then, the bathroom door opened.
"Didn't I lock the door? How did you get in?"
“I have the key!” Zhang Shouyi said as he took off his clothes.
Zhang Hongmei didn't know whether to get up or not, but she also knew that she couldn't stop him.
"Didn't you promise me you'd go outside to shower?"
"Honey, I'm scared to be alone!"
Zhang Hongmei was so angry that she ground her teeth. How could he say such shameless things?
The water that had reached his shoulders immediately overflowed as soon as Zhang Shouyi entered.
When Zhang Hongmei lay in bed, she felt weak in the knees and limbs. She couldn't muster any strength at all.
Nestled in Zhang Shouyi's arms, listening to his heartbeat, she slowly drifted off to sleep.
"Honey, you're sleepy already? Okay, go to sleep!"
Zhang Shouyi said this, but his actions did not reflect it.
Floating and sinking, Zhang Hongmei had no idea what conditions she had agreed to with Zhang Shouyi, or how many times she had called him "husband." She lost count of how many times she drifted off to sleep, and eventually knew nothing more.
Zhang Shouyi prepared hot water, helped his wife dry off, changed the sheets, and then held her in his arms to sleep.
I feel so fulfilled. It's a satisfaction that transcends the physical and spiritual realm.
Zhang Shouyi had only slept for three hours. He quietly got up and looked at his wife, whose face resembled a child's as she slept. He was excited again. But he knew this wouldn't do. He steeled himself, got out of bed, and put on his clothes. He didn't even dare to kiss her, afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself.
They say that romantic love makes even heroes weak-willed. Now I truly understand the meaning of that.
Zhang Hongmei got up at seven o'clock today. She touched the bed next to her and found it was cold. She didn't know what time Zhang Shouyi had left. He was so busy, yet he still didn't know how to control himself. No, she had to talk to him today.
It was a rare treat to have time to practice Tai Chi today. I spent some time with the two elderly people.
Everyone went to wash up. Zhang Hongmei was sweating, but decided to take a shower anyway. She went into the space, drank water, and took a bath.
"Hongmei, are you going out today?"
"Why aren't you going out, Dad?"
"It's alright. The bodyguards are all here today. You should get to know them first. Don't be afraid of the trouble. We really don't trust you. There are all kinds of people in the world. If you meet someone reasonable, everything is easy to talk about. But if you really encounter a barbarian, you can't let yourself be taken advantage of."
"Dad, I understand. I'm not going anywhere today. I'll have Chengzi or Xiaoshun send the letter later."
"Yes, they'll probably arrive in the afternoon. You can arrange your own time in the morning, right?"
"Okay, I'm going to the study. Call me if you need anything."
Zhang Hongmei sat in front of the computer, calmed herself down for a while, and then began designing the game.
While I'm in the capital, I should do as much as possible so that Roger can hold out for a while when he gets back.
When will we have the internet? I know absolutely nothing about it, so I'll just have to wait patiently.
I didn't even finish this Monopoly game in one morning. There's too much code involved. And this was only done in one go. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to finish even a fifth of it.
She had no appetite. "Brother Xiaoshun, I'm not eating. This is a crucial time, and I'm afraid if I interrupt you, I won't be able to keep up. You guys go eat, don't worry about me or disturb me. I'll eat when I'm done." Zhang Hongmei didn't even look up, her hands dancing across the keyboard like butterflies.
"Sir, Hongmei is busy right now. She said not to disturb her, and she will eat as soon as she finishes."
"Then let's eat first. Let's ignore her."
The game finally ended at 3 a.m.
This is Zhang Hongmei's most satisfying work. It contains some rules and gameplay from her previous life, as well as most of the additions she made herself.
I copied it to drive A twice, one copy for Wyatt to take, and one copy for myself.
I only realized I was hungry now. I stood up and stretched my limbs, then rubbed my stomach and went to the kitchen in front.
Aunt Li had been keeping an eye on Zhang Hongmei and saw her coming over.
"You wait a moment, I'll go cook you some dumplings. I just made them with chives, eggs, and shrimp. They'll be ready in a bit."
"Okay, Aunt Li. I'll wait in the dining room."
Wang Xiaoshun came in and said, "Hongmei, all the bodyguards have arrived. The commander said he's waiting for you in the living room. Go over after you've finished eating."
"Okay, I got it, Brother Shun. Would you like some more?"
"No, we're having pancakes for lunch, I ate too much. Hongmei, the commander has approved my leave."
"That's good, spend more time with your family."
Zhang Hongmei had originally wanted to tell Wang Xiaoshun that he was getting on in years and should find a wife. However, she felt it was inappropriate for someone his age to say such things. So she decided to keep quiet; his family would definitely be more anxious.
Sure enough, a little while later, Aunt Li brought out a plate of dumplings, no more than twenty. This was based on Zhang Hongmei's appetite, with a few extra cooked.
"Aunt Li, this tastes so good!"
"Hehe, it's good that you like it, but you can't do this again, it's bad for your health."
"Yes, I'll try my best. I'm afraid that if I delay, I'll lose my inspiration."
After finishing my meal, I rinsed my mouth before going to the living room.
When the seven girls saw Zhang Hongmei approaching, they all stood up.
"Hehe, everyone, please sit down. Grandpa, this is for you."
“Hongmei, here are the files for these seven girls. Take a look. These girls were trained by the three of us. Get a general idea of their situation first, and then Chengzi will test their skills later.”
"Yeah, it's better to stand up and look at it. It's not comfortable to sit down right after eating."
I carefully reviewed everyone's files. They were all really impressive. One of the seven was Lu Jing, a 33-year-old instructor who was unmarried. She also had a good education and knew Russian. She was one of Gu Chuanming's people.
There's another girl, Lu Yue, who's eighteen this year. And a sixteen-year-old named Lu Xing, who specializes in martial arts.
Zhang Xingguo has two people: Han Mei, 19, and Gan Lu, 18. Their special skills are not listed above.
The remaining two were Zhang Shouyi's people, and their files were more detailed. Both had received professional medical training; one was Su Chen, twenty years old, and the other was Liang Dan, nineteen. Their files stated that they were not only highly skilled in combat but also exceptionally knowledgeable in medicine.
Zhang Hongmei understood Zhang Shouyi's intention. Indeed, having someone knowledgeable in medicine by her side would be reassuring.
