Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Chapter 300 Night Returner

In the pitch-black night, I could only see a vague shadow and couldn't see the other person's face at all.

But judging from his stature, it was not difficult to tell that the other person was an extremely tall man.

Xu Manyue's back gradually felt cold. She didn't dare to alert the enemy and could only act according to the circumstances.

But at this moment, the man took off his coat, threw it on the shelf beside him, and strode towards the bed.

Xu Manyue immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep while paying attention to the man's movements.

After a while, the man seemed to sit next to her, looked at her, then lifted the quilt and got into bed.

The cold air also rushed in, making people shiver all over.

Xu Manyue's body stiffened, and she was about to quietly move her body inside to avoid the man's movements as much as possible.

But the next second, the man's hand gently fell on her round belly.

A deep and familiar voice sounded, "When did you wake up?"

Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, and blurted out subconsciously, "Shen Jingming?"

"Didn't you recognize me just now?" Shen Jingming paused slightly while touching Xu Manyue's belly.

I probably guessed why this person woke up but didn't speak.

It turned out that she was frightened by him.

He just climbed in through the window because he didn't have the key and didn't want to disturb the people sleeping inside.

After confirming the man's identity, Xu Manyue relaxed all over, but faced with the man's strong scent and the silent atmosphere, she felt inexplicably embarrassed.

After all, the two have only been together for less than a month since they got married.

They said they were not familiar with each other, but they were about to have a child. They said they were familiar with each other, but they had never really spent much time together.

Just when Xu Manyue was planning to find a random topic to brush aside what happened tonight.

The man next to him said, "Calculating the time, the baby should be born around the Chinese New Year."

"Well, not two months."

Xu Manyue was lying on the inside of the bed, tilting her head to look at him, "By the way, how did you come back so suddenly? How long can you stay this time?"

Shen Jingming hugged the woman beside him in his arms, touched her bulging belly, and paused.

"I came back this time because of my mother's situation. Before I went home, I went to the hospital to see her. Her condition has gradually improved."

"I stayed in the hospital for a day, and the doctor said that with my mother's current physical condition, there's still a chance she'll wake up."

"I can't stay for a few days this time. I have to go back to the military academy the day after tomorrow."

Shen Jingming was halfway through his speech when he turned to look at the woman beside him.

"As for joining the army, I guess you'll have to wait. When I return from military school, I'll apply to join the army."

Xu Manyue was mentally prepared and did not feel disappointed.

"That's about when it will be, so I can be prepared."

The two of them only mentioned the matter of joining the army twice, the first time was after she became pregnant, and the second time was now.

Shen Jingming was silent for a moment. "I can't give you a specific timeline. In addition to further studies at the military academy, I also need to go on some missions. Even if it's the earliest, it will be half a year later."

He had been in the army for further training for only half a year, so he still had a long way to go to get the results he wanted.

Before this, he couldn't guarantee when he could let her go with the army.

Xu Manyue lowered her eyes, she understood.

"Okay, I understand. Just focus on your work."

In fact, there is a way to join the army as soon as possible.

But in this man's heart, career always comes first. Although her and the children going there will not disturb him, it will always distract him.

Therefore, he probably didn't want her to join the army for the time being.

For a moment, the atmosphere around them became a little tense.

Shen Jingming didn't say anything else. He just patted Xu Manyue's head and said, "Go to sleep first."

"I brought gifts for you and the child this time. I'll show them to you tomorrow."

Xu Manyue nodded, closed her eyes and planned to continue sleeping, but suddenly there was a man beside her. Although she closed her eyes, she couldn't fall asleep.

The man sleeping next to her seemed to have not had much rest for several days. His eyes were full of fatigue and he fell asleep in a short while.

Listening to Shen Jingming's breathing, Xu Manyue gradually felt sleepy.

Outside the window, the night gradually deepens and a cold wind blows. Winter has finally arrived.

In the blink of an eye, it was early the next morning.

When Shen Jingming woke up, he opened his eyes and looked at the beams above his head. He felt a little uncomfortable. This was the first time he slept so soundly.

He frowned slightly, and as his thoughts returned, he remembered that he had already arrived home.

Beneath him was a soft bed and a bright red wedding quilt embroidered with dragons and phoenixes. The walls were made of earth, covered with tiny cracks, and hung with many things, all kinds of things.

On the wooden table next to it, there was a thermos with a big red wedding character on it and two magpies on it.

He remembered that he had bought this thermos in the city with Xu Manyue two days after they got married. It was a wedding gift.

In a blink of an eye, she has been married to him for more than a year.

However, the two of them had been together for less than a month, but they already had a child. In another month or two, he would become a father.

Shen Jingming raised his hand to rub his sore temples, stood up, picked up the military coat beside him, and was about to put it on.

Suddenly, the door was opened from the outside, and Xu Manyue came in with a few flatbreads, a bowl of cornmeal porridge and a boiled egg.

"Eat something. My second sister-in-law knew you were back, so she made it especially for you."

Shen Jingming looked up. It was the middle of the night last night and the sky was too dark. He could not see Xu Manyue's face clearly, only a general idea.

It was now bright outside, and when he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He doesn't care much about a person's appearance, but his wife is beautiful, and as a man, he is no exception.

What's more, his wife is really beautiful, with a bright and elegant appearance.

Although she is pregnant, she does not look bloated at all. There is a gentleness in her eyes and eyebrows, which makes her exude a different kind of temperament that makes people unable to look away.

She seemed prettier than the last time I saw her.

Xu Manyue put the food on the table. Seeing him staring at her for a long time, she thought there was something dirty on her face, so she put down the food and raised her hand to touch her face.

"Is there something on my face?"

Shen Jingming quickly retracted his gaze, sat down at the table, and shook his head, "Nothing."

"You can sit down and eat with us."

Xu Manyue sat down, holding her stomach, but did not move. "I've already eaten, you eat now."

As soon as she finished speaking, a peeled egg was placed next to her mouth.

"Open your mouth." The man's voice sounded again.

Xu Manyue hadn't reacted yet. She just listened to the man's voice and subconsciously opened her mouth and took a bite. The aroma of the egg spread in her mouth.

She came back to her senses and looked up at the man, just meeting Shen Jingming's dark and deep eyes. He put the egg in his hand in hers.

"You are pregnant, you should take more supplements."
