Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Wipe the Sleep from Your Eyes

Shen Meng was wrapped up in sleep with Ming Kai, groggy in the middle of the night but felt as if she was being covered by a furnace, she tried to escape several times but was caught and brought back, thinking that she shouldn’t tell the story of Red Boy next time, Shancai might be angry and wants to roast her to death.

Morning.

Outside, dawn is breaking, Shen Meng was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt her head being lifted, she couldn’t help but open her eyes, and what caught her eye was a broad expanse of wheat-colored abs, she was stunned for a moment, then hissed, her eyes widening immediately, her gaze slowly moving upward, over the man’s sturdy chest, Adam’s apple, thin lips, handsome nose, and deep mocking eyes.

"Awake?"

"You you you, me me me, why are you in my bed, shouldn’t you be in Mingyang and Ming Liang’s room?"

Shen Meng frantically moved her body backwards, almost elbowing Ming Kai in the head, Lu Zhenping quickly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his front, the movement was so sudden that Shen Meng’s face knocked against his chest, looking up, their eyes met, and there was silence between them.

Lu Zhenping looked at her somewhat frantic eyes and couldn’t help but curve his lips into a light smile.

Hearing his laughter, Shen Meng’s heart tightened, she had never been held by a man like this, her heart was in her throat, looking at the handsome man, she swallowed.

A woman is tender and soft, looking at him like a frightened rabbit, early in the morning, Lu Zhenping’s heart surged with restlessness, he pulled her tightly towards him and they embraced each other.

Shen Meng’s mind buzzed, feeling dizzy, she didn’t know how to respond to Lu Zhenping or whether to push him aside.

Lu Zhenping’s breath grew heavier, he lowered his head and buried his face in Shen Meng’s shoulder, inhaling the faint fragrance of her body, his restless heart was soothed for a moment, turning his eyes to his two children who were in the way, he gritted his teeth and didn’t continue, although he knew in his heart that his wife might not let him have his way.

"Go back to sleep for a bit, I’ll go cook, don’t think north and south, and when you get up, wipe the sleep from your eyes."

!!!

Shen Meng, listening to Lu Zhenping’s words, was stunned, thinking about the atmosphere between them just now, such words shouldn’t be said, it was really a bit excessive.

That’s what she thought, but she still raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eye, looking at her fingertip and finding nothing, Shen Meng angrily wanted to hammer Lu Zhenping’s head.

She rolled back and forth on the bed a couple of times to calm the small flame in her heart, thinking that Lu Zhenping would be out for a while, she quickly went directly to her space,

screaming sharply a few times, she went to the bathroom to shower, washed her hair, and treated her hair with essential oils before leaving the space.

It had been many days since she had taken a proper bath, it was a miracle that she did not faint Lu Zhenping when he approached earlier.

Shen Meng put on her clothes, stretched lazily as she went out, remembering that she had talked to Mingyang about going to school to thank the teacher, she picked up a basket, found a bag of dried vegetables and Diannan’s dried mushrooms from a small room, these were all ready to eat after soaking, also a big bag of rice noodles that Lu Zhenping picked up from the post office yesterday.

She also had plenty in her space, and the preparation was simple, she also took some for the teacher.

She heard from Ming Fang that this teacher was a former sent-down youth who could have returned to the city, but seeing the children at the school, couldn’t bear to leave. Her family had allowed her to stay another five years; otherwise, she would never be allowed to return home. Now in her fourth year, Shen Meng felt immensely fortunate that Mingyang’s three children had such a wonderful teacher, and she equally admired this teacher.

A delightful aroma wafted from the kitchen. Shen Meng finished tidying up and then went to the kitchen, got a cloth bag, and filled it with a full bag of rice.

"You’re packing so much stuff early in the morning; are you going back to your parents’ home?"

Lu Zhenping sounded somewhat annoyed when he uttered these words; he shouldn’t have spoken to Shen Meng like that just now. It was as if his mind had momentarily gone blank, not knowing how to disconnect from the atmosphere, blurting out that sentence without thinking.

"No, this is to thank Mingyang’s teachers. Ever since the three children started school, Teacher Zheng has taken special care of them. I heard from Ming Fang that Teacher Zheng’s grandfather was an old soldier, so he has a soft spot for these children. Sometimes when there are issues at home and Mingyang and the others are late to school or can’t make it, Teacher Zheng stays late after school to make time to tutor them. Such a good teacher deserves our thanks."

Lu Zhenping breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that he wasn’t angered by his earlier mistake.

"Okay, I made some sweet potato porridge and boiled a few eggs. What dish would you like? I’ll cook it."

Shen Meng kept her head down, engrossed in her work, unwilling to make eye contact. The incident in the morning had been rather awkward.

"Anything is fine; you decide!"

Lu Zhenping was about to say something when he noticed her slightly reddened ear tips. His eyes immediately filled with laughter, and he turned his head and coughed twice.

"Alright."

After gathering her belongings, Shen Meng turned to leave, but Lu Zhenping put down the fire poker in his hand and called out to her.

"Xiao Meng, I’ve been home for two days, and we haven’t really talked. Sit down; I’ll go get something, wait for me."

Shen Meng hesitated, but Lu Zhenping didn’t give her a chance to refuse, and quickly returned. He brought a stool over and sat in front of Shen Meng, placing a bag on the ground.

"This leave is quite long; I can stay home for over three months. Besides what I brought the day before yesterday, I have some money to give you. This is some of my saved salary and the bonuses I received, including money returned by my comrades, adding up to nearly two thousand, and some tickets as well. Keep them safe. Also, I should tell you in advance, our regiment might be reorganized. If luck isn’t on our side, I might have to leave the military. But don’t worry, the army will make arrangements for me, and I’ll follow all orders."

Shen Meng looked at the money and tickets in her hand, momentarily stunned, then realized the unspoken reluctance in Lu Zhenping’s tone. She knew the deep, unbreakable bond soldiers have with the military, unable to fully empathize, she just lightly patted Lu Zhenping’s hand to comfort him.

He obviously took advantage of this, suddenly grabbing Shen Meng’s hand.

"I’m fine, don’t worry. I’m a man, the pillar of our home. Even if I leave the army, I won’t let you and the children suffer."

"I know, but could you let go of me first?"

Lu Zhenping tightened his grip on her hand, his strength conveying that he clearly wouldn’t.
