Chapter 451 8 Military Service in the 60s
When Nie Shenyuan returned, it was already past midnight. He had brought a whole regiment with him, and everyone was in good spirits as they walked back to their dormitory in a lively atmosphere.
Nie Shenyuan returned quite late because he had to go report first.
Before he even entered the dormitory, he was stopped. "Commander Nie, your bedding isn't here. Your sister-in-law is here, and they've already taken your bedding over there."
They returned early and immediately noticed something amiss on Nie Shenyuan's bed.
Hearing the commotion, Shi Tou came out as well, worried that Nie Shenyuan might not be able to find his blanket if he came back.
"Commander, the bungalow your wife chose is the one in the southwest corner. They just arrived and haven't had time to buy bedding, so they took yours to use first. I've also taken your other things over. But if you go there now, you'll probably have to knock on the door first, as your wife is probably already asleep." Shi Tou looked at Nie Shenyuan and smiled.
Nie Shenyuan was surprised that it really was Xie Qingyu who came.
"I understand." He paused, his gaze sweeping around the room, wondering if he could make do with someone's bed tonight.
“Commander Nie, your son looks just like you.” Shi Tou couldn’t help but say, looking at Nie Shenyuan’s face.
"My son?" Nie Shenyuan was taken aback.
“Yes, my sister-in-law brought him along. He didn’t make a sound the whole way. He was very well-behaved, unlike the other kids in the family compound,” Shi Tou said earnestly.
"You haven't seen your son yet, have you?" Shi Tou suddenly asked, looking at Nie Shenyuan's expression. "You haven't taken a vacation in over two years, and you haven't been home at all. Haven't you seen him?"
"Hmm." Nie Shenyuan's mind was in a mess right now; he had no idea where this son had come from.
His feet unconsciously led him to walk outside; of course, he had to go see his son.
Nie Shenyuan walked quickly, showing no signs of fatigue despite having rushed back after completing a mission.
With something on his mind, he walked even faster.
When he actually got close to the courtyard, he actually felt a little scared.
He no longer remembered what Xie Qingyu looked like; they had only met twice, and in those two meetings, the girl's dissatisfaction with him was quite obvious.
It was a marriage of convenience, with no real feelings involved.
I just don't know why she suddenly came over.
She even gave birth to a son for him?
Looking at the courtyard shrouded in darkness, he pondered for a moment, walked to the wall, pushed himself up with both hands, and landed steadily in the courtyard.
Although we had entered the courtyard, there was still another door.
Nie Shenyuan tried to push the door open, but it was locked from the inside.
The people inside must be asleep by now.
At this point, he was afraid to knock on the door.
"Who is it?" The voice coming from inside the house startled Nie Shenyuan. He realized it was someone inside the house.
“Me,” Nie Shenyuan said, then added, “Nie Shenyuan.”
Xie Qingyu, who was already not sleeping well, felt uneasy about being hastily settled in an unfamiliar place. Then she heard a noise in the yard.
I tentatively asked, and this is the answer I got.
Xie Qingyu never expected that Nie Shenyuan would come back.
She got out of bed, groped her way to put on her shoes, and walked towards the door.
There were no candles when she first arrived, and only a faint moonlight in the room. Xie Qingyu couldn't see anything, so her movements were a bit clumsy.
Nie Shenyuan stood at the door listening to the sounds inside the house, unconsciously swallowing hard.
Xie Qingyu flung open the door, and the gentle moonlight shone down on her.
The courtyard was brightly lit by the moonlight, and Xie Qingyu looked up at the man standing at the door.
The figure was very tall. Although the facial features were not clearly visible, they were still three-dimensional and slightly aggressive, which did not quite conform to current aesthetic standards.
"Why are you back now? Didn't you say tomorrow?" Xie Qingyu asked Nie Shenyuan, her hand still gripping the door frame.
Nie Shenyuan had excellent night vision and was able to stare at the woman in front of him under the moonlight.
It didn't seem to overlap much with what she remembered, but it easily made him feel that this was how it should be.
Especially considering Xie Qingyu's current manner of speaking, it's as if he told her when he would return before leaving, making it hard to believe that the two haven't seen each other for three years.
His gaze moved down, and Xie Qingyu was wearing a somewhat worn-out nightgown, probably because it had been washed many times. The neckline was loose and sagging, revealing her collarbone and a curved bulge below.
Nie Shenyuan immediately looked away!
"I finished the mission early, so I came back ahead of schedule." Nie Shenyuan could hear his own voice, but it sounded as if it wasn't his.
Xie Qingyu spoke up, stepping aside to let him pass, "Rest now that you're back."
Nie Shenyuan walked into the house with his hands and feet clasped together.
He could see the general layout even from inside the house.
There was an open suitcase on the ground, which Xie Qingyu must have brought with her. She took some things out of it last night and didn't close it.
There were some other things scattered around in the corner, but they weren't very clear.
Nie Shenyuan followed Xie Qingyu into the bedroom.
There was a slightly raised bump on the bed, which must be his son.
Nie Shenyuan really wanted to get closer and take a look.
"Tuanzi is already asleep, so let's keep our voices down. We can talk about it tomorrow," Xie Qingyu said, pointing to the bed.
Then she climbed up and consciously moved to the inside, separated by a small bulge, and pointed to the spot outside the bed, saying, "You can make do here for today."
After Xie Qingyu finished speaking, she fell silent.
Nie Shenyuan glanced at the spot, then quietly lay down, not even taking off his clothes, his whole body stiff as a sheet of iron.
He didn't dare to breathe too loudly, but he could hear two even breaths beside him. In this rhythm, he slowly relaxed and fell asleep without realizing it.
The next day, Nie Shenyuan was the first to wake up.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, filling the room with brightness.
The first thing Nie Shenyuan did upon waking up was to turn around and look at his side.
Neither the big one nor the little one sleeps very still; the blanket is only covering their waists.
The first thing that caught his eye was Xie Qingyu's profile. Her face was slightly flushed from sleeping, and she had a pert nose, fair skin, and long eyelashes.
He glanced at her and felt guilty, so he immediately looked down at the sleeping Tuanzi.
He knew at first glance that this was indeed his son.
But... he only had one time with Xie Qingyu, yet they already had a son?
Nie Shenyuan looked at Xie Qingyu, wondering how much she had suffered to give birth to this child, and how he, as her father, had no idea.
As I was watching, Tuanzi suddenly woke up.
