After Su Jingjing finished her shower and her daughter finished her homework, it was almost nine o'clock, which was also the children's bedtime.
Yuanyuan yawned and reached out for a hug, "Mommy, I'm so sleepy."
Li Hanting was quicker and picked up his daughter, saying, "Daddy will put you to sleep tonight."
Yuan Yuan saw that it was her stern-faced father and reluctantly agreed.
Li Hanting gave Su Jingjing a wink, signaling her to go back to her room and wait for him.
The father and his two sons returned to the second bedroom. As soon as Yuanyuan got into bed, she seemed to wake up a little more and shook Li Hanting's arm.
"Dad, I want to hear a story."
An'an remained silent, quietly watching her sister's actions.
Li Hanting's lips twitched. "Didn't you say you were sleepy? Kids need to go to bed early so they can grow tall."
No wonder my wife always takes so long to get back to her room; it turns out our daughter has too many demands.
The little guy pouted, "Daddy, I can't fall asleep if I don't listen to a story."
"Okay, then you should slowly close your eyes while listening to the story."
Li Hanting sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He reached for the storybook and began to read it with a painstaking effort, as his daughter had requested.
Before the story was even finished, Yuanyuan had really fallen asleep, and she seemed to be breathing evenly.
"Dad, you can go back to your room now."
An'an looked at Li Hanting expectantly. He knew that his father was going on a mission tomorrow and definitely wanted to stay with his mother.
Li Hanting put down his book and touched his son's forehead. "Dad's not home, remember to take good care of Mom and your sister."
"I've always remembered it."
An An clenched her fist, as if making some kind of vow.
Are the children asleep?
Su Jingjing closed the book and lifted the blanket on the other side.
"Mmm." Li Hanting lay on the other side and reached out to pull the person closer.
"Honey, it must be hard for you to take care of the two kids."
Su Jingjing chuckled and looked up at him, "Why are you saying that out of the blue?"
"The two children are very obedient, so I don't have to worry about them much. You don't need to worry about the family when you're on a mission."
Li Hanting pinned her down, intertwined their fingers, and stared intently at her. "You can't get too close to male classmates at school. Remember, your husband is a jealous type."
Hmm... Someone actually openly admitted to being a jealous person.
She decided to tease the man, "Can't we even just talk?"
"No way." Li Hanting rejected it outright, then declared domineeringly, "Wife, you are mine."
Jingjing is so outstanding that he feels really insecure, afraid that someone else will steal her away.
Su Jingjing knew the man was serious, and she was willing to reassure him, "You are unique, and no one can replace you."
The implication is that you are the love of my life.
Li Hanting smiled with satisfaction, showering her with lingering kisses, which quickly drifted to her lips.
They kissed each other lightly, their lips fluttering like the wings of butterflies, love flowing between them.
Soon, the room was filled with the sounds of panting, which gradually subsided around 3 a.m.
Li Hanting sat shirtless against the headboard, a small head nestled against his chest, fast asleep.
He gently moved her body, got out of bed, and put on her military uniform. Her slender fingers moved among the buttons, and she was dressed in just a few minutes.
I turned on a warm yellow light by the bedside, moved it slightly away, and gazed at her peaceful sleeping face.
Finally, I kissed her on the cheek and said, "Honey, I'm going out now. Remember to miss me."
He turned off the lights and walked out easily.
Liu Yang downstairs was already waiting.
Upon seeing Li Hanting appear, he quickly saluted, "Commander."
"It's getting late, let's go."
Li Hanting nodded, got into the car, and let Liu Yang drive.
The next day, the sky was overcast. Su Jingjing touched the empty space beside her, slowly opened her eyes, and called out softly.
"Ah Ting".
The next second she realized that the man seemed to be on a mission, so she quickly turned on the light.
Looking at the empty room, she suddenly felt a little lonely.
She has several more days to go before she gets used to this kind of life.
After figuring it out, she turned off the light, closed her eyes again, and dozed off for a short while. As soon as it was light, she got up.
At the dinner table, Yuanyuan, biting her spoon, asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Mommy, is Daddy going to be away from home for several days again?"
"Yes, Dad is going away to work for a few days."
Su Jingjing added some more porridge to her bowl. "What did Mom say? You shouldn't bite the spoon while eating. It's a bad habit."
Yuan Yuan belatedly realized what was happening and quickly put down her spoon. "Mom, I know!"
"Eat quickly, Mom will take you to school later."
An'an put down her spoon. "Mom, you're going to school today too, so you don't need to take us."
This back-and-forth is exhausting for Mom.
"Mom, we can go to school with Big Fatty and the others."
Her brother told her this morning that she must be obedient these next few days and not let her mother suffer.
"Alright."
Su Jingjing thought about it and then agreed.
She watched the children walk to school together before she felt at ease and walked in another direction.
As soon as Su Jingjing left the classroom, the previously noisy classroom fell silent instantly.
Ye Zi waved to her, "Jing Jing, stay here."
Su Jingjing walked straight over and sat down next to Ye Zi. "Ye Zi, it's been a long time."
"I've wiped the table and chairs clean for you."
"Ye Zi, thank you."
