All the nervousness and anxiety disappeared at that moment.
Feeling the madness and heat in Sheng Ze Xi's eyes, recalling her previous life, the man shouted her name, rushing into the sea of fire to search for her.
At this moment, Gu Jia Ning hesitated no more.
She reciprocated the embrace.
The kang was hot, and the two people on the kang were also hot.
Inside the room, in the dark night, the heavy snow continued to fall incessantly, as if it wanted to cover the entire world, and everything around was silent.
The cold wind blew in gusts, very biting.
Only the temperature in the room was constantly rising.
In this life and the last, two lonely and cold hearts finally connected at this moment, warming each other.
Two hours, it had been two hours!
Two hours later, exhausted, Gu Jia Ning cursed Sheng Ze Xi and fell asleep drowsily.
She was too tired; she really couldn't hold on anymore.
Sheng Ze Xi, however, was like a hungry wolf that had finally eaten its fill, now full of energy, his face filled with a satisfied expression.
He got up to boil water, wiped himself briefly, then brought it to the kang and wiped his little wife, and put on his sleeping clothes.
Throughout the whole process, Gu Jia Ning slept soundly, allowing him to do as he pleased.
After everything was done, Sheng Ze Xi blew out the kerosene lamp and got on the kang.
As soon as he got on the kang, Gu Jia Ning, who was asleep, seemed to automatically seek out a heat source and snuggled into his arms.
Sheng Ze Xi scooped his little wife back into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, his deep eyes filled with satisfaction.
Sheng Ze Xi thought, his beloved was precisely his wife, and at this moment, with his darling wife in his arms, this was the happiest moment of his twenty-odd years of life.
"Ningning, good night, have sweet dreams."
The heavy snow was cold, but the two people in the room embraced each other and slept warmly.
That night, Gu Jia Ning indeed had a good dream. In the dream, she cured Sheng Ze Xi's illness, took the Pregnancy Sacred Body Pill, and soon she became pregnant. At the end of the dream, many lovely and beautiful children were calling them "Dad" and "Mom".
Nestled in Sheng Ze Xi's arms, Gu Jia Ning slept soundly, a faint smile unconsciously playing on her lips.
-
The next day when she woke up, the man was no longer beside her.
Gu Jia Ning glanced at the bright sky outside, then looked at her watch, and twitched her mouth; it was already past ten in the morning.
Supporting her sore waist, she got off the kang and saw a note and food on the table.
Gu Jia Ning picked it up and looked at it. The man's strong and powerful handwriting caught her eye. Sheng Ze Xi had gotten up early to prepare her food and then gone to training; the time was around five in the morning. Gu Jia Ning gasped.
After tossing her around like that yesterday, this man could still get up so early for training; he really had amazing stamina.
Gu Jia Ning felt that Sheng Ze Xi was like a goblin who had absorbed all her energy, and she was the one who had been drained.
She could guarantee that she was definitely listless now.
She took out a small mirror and looked; the woman in the mirror surprised her. Her complexion was rosy, like a juicy peach that had absorbed plenty of water, and the charming look in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Well, it seemed she hadn't lost out either.
It's just…
Gu Jia Ning searched in the System Mall, looking for pills that could help her "fight" with Sheng Ze Xi on the kang. She didn't want to be so exhausted after each battle, lying there until the sun was high in the sky the next day.
【Host, no need to search. As long as you cure the Male Owner's illness, the reward, the Guose Tianxiang Pill, will have this effect.】 The Childbirth System promptly chimed in.
Gu Jia Ning: The Guose Tianxiang Pill has this effect?
Alright then, let's wait another half month.
The stove was warm. Gu Jia Ning put the cold steamed buns and side dishes on it to heat, and then boiled water to wash up.
By the time she finished breakfast, it was already noon.
Sheng Ze Xi hadn't come back, but Gu Jia Ning could guess that he probably didn't have time. Sheng Ze Xi had said before that if he didn't come back for lunch, she should go to the dining hall to get food herself.
Now, Gu Jia Ning had just finished breakfast and wasn't hungry; she didn't need to get lunch.
"Sister Shuwan, Sister Shuwan…" Gu Jia Ning knocked on Zhang Shuwan's door next door.
Soon, Zhang Shuwan opened the door, followed by Guo Guo.
"Jia Ning, you're here."
"Yes, Sister Shuwan, I want to ask you something."
"Don't be so formal. Just ask whatever you need to; don't stand there, come in."
Guo Guo was very happy to see Gu Jia Ning and followed her, calling her "Auntie."
Gu Jia Ning stuffed a few Big White Rabbit Milk Candies into her small hand.
"You don't have to give her that," Sister Shuwan said. Those were Big White Rabbit Milk Candies; they were precious.
"It's okay, I like Guo Guo."
After entering and sitting down, Gu Jia Ning asked about the warming room.
"…I heard that most of the food is made by the military wives themselves, but I can't cook." Gu Jia Ning's delicate and pretty little face wrinkled slightly, a little worried.
Zhang Shuwan recalled seeing Battalion Commander Sheng busy at the stove yesterday and realized what was going on.
"That's no problem; I can help you," Zhang Shuwan readily agreed, patting her chest.
"We can discuss what dishes to make first. After we decide, you prepare the ingredients, and I'll come over to help you cook them."
You can do that?
"But won't that be too tiring for you?"
"No, I'm good at cooking, and we don't need to make it fancy; just a few big pot dishes will do."
"Okay, let's do that then."
That would be a great help, and she would definitely repay her kindness later.
So, the two began to decide what dishes to prepare. When Sister Shuwan saw Gu Jia Ning suggest a few meat dishes, she exclaimed, "With these meat dishes, I guarantee everyone will be very satisfied."
After all, this was the Northwest, where supplies were scarce, and meat was even scarcer. Lin Xing said that the dining hall also had very little. When the heavy snow sealed the mountains, there would be less vegetarian dishes, let alone meat dishes. If you went too late, there would be nothing left.
Coming out of Zhang Shuwan's house, Gu Jia Ning breathed a sigh of relief; she had solved a worry.
Sister Shuwan was a little worried about how she would get the meat, but Gu Jia Ning wasn't worried at all. She would see if she could buy it at the market in two days. If not, she would buy it from the System Exchange Mall; other ingredients were also very cheap there.
Back home, Gu Jia Ning took out an envelope, paper, and pen, intending to write letters to her mother's family and Grandfather Sang and Grandmother Sang to let them know she was safe.
She had to tell them that they had arrived safely in the Northwest. Although it was cold here, things were relatively complete, and they were doing well.
It's just that during the New Year, the heavy snow would seal the mountains, and they would have to stay here for the New Year and wouldn't be able to go anywhere.
Gu Jia Ning wrote a longer letter to her mother's family; she had a lot to say to each family member.
"
