Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1733: Chapter 1141: Intimacy

First watch.

-------------

No matter how deeply someone is asleep, being watched by someone else can still be felt. Half-asleep, she rubbed her eyes and made out the figure squatting by her side, smiling at her. Chuxia couldn’t help but smile back, "All settled?"

"All settled." Zhou Mikang reached out to gently caress her soft cheek, "Try to sleep a bit more. This journey was quite bumpy. With your condition, it must have worn you out, right?"

"Not really." Chuxia leaned on him to sit up, "I’ve been exercising a lot over the past year, my endurance isn’t as bad as you think. But you, you’ve become tanned and thinner..." she said with a face full of heartache as she touched Zhou Mikang’s gaunt face and his stubbly chin.

Originally, she thought that not having seen each other for a year might have led to some awkwardness when they met again. However, the moment she saw him, she realized her assumptions were wrong. This was her husband, the father of her children. No matter how long they’re apart, there would never be any awkwardness!

Not expecting such intimate gestures from his little wife, Zhou Mikang froze for a moment, then his eyes filled with surprise and delight. He smoothly wrapped her in his arms and sat down on a chair, rubbing the top of her head with his chin and deeply inhaling her scent with a satisfied look, which made Chuxia shy, pushing him gently, "This is the office, what if someone walks in? Besides... I haven’t even showered or washed my hair, I’m filthy!"

"Don’t worry, Zhang Ping will stop anyone from coming in. Besides, no one would dare come over knowing the Division Commander’s Wife has arrived. Who would be so unaware?" As he spoke, Zhou Mikang lowered his head and sniffed near her hair, "No matter how many days you haven’t showered or washed your hair, my sweetheart still smells lovely."

The huskiness in his voice caught her off guard, and feeling the change in his voice and body, Chuxia’s heart skipped a beat. They hadn’t seen each other in more than a year, and he was at an age full of energy, but this was not the right place... What should she do?

Fortunately, Zhou Mikang did not overstep any boundaries; he simply sat quietly, not speaking. However, Chuxia couldn’t help but ask, "We haven’t seen each other in over a year. Don’t you have anything to say to me?"

"I do." His voice rasped as he replied, with a wry smile, "But you little vixen, you must allow me to catch my breath, right?"

Understanding his implication, Chuxia’s face immediately turned crimson. How could she, a married woman with children, forget the bodily differences between men and women?

Sensing his wife’s discomfort, Zhou Mikang chuckled, "It’s not that I’m embarrassed after so long; I just don’t want to upset you. Besides, I’m not oblivious, so don’t worry."

"I know." Chuxia looked at him with full sincerity, "I trust you, always have."

Her words were double-edged, and someone as smart as Zhou Mikang would not miss it. He poked her nose with a smile, "Overthinking a bit, aren’t you? I know clearly you didn’t come because you distrust me, or to supervise me, but because you’re worried about my safety and wish to stand by my side during such times. Besides..."

He sighed deeply, kissing her forehead before adding, "I’ve genuinely missed you. I used to make fun of others being so sentimental, but when it happens to me, I realize it’s the truest test of endurance in the world."

"Oh, I haven’t shown you the pictures of the boys yet..." Chuxia struggled to climb off him and pulled out photos of the Nanbei Brothers, handing them to Zhou Mikang. "They’ve changed a lot since you last saw them. Without these photos, you might not even recognize them."

In the photo, two rosy-cheeked little boys sat grinning in their mother’s arms, looking at him. The one on the left resembled his wife, while the one on the right looked like him, "Is this Nannan?" he pointed to the little boy who resembled his wife and asked.

"Yes, Nannan looks like me, Beibei looks like you." Chuxia shook her head with a smile, "These two have quite different personalities. Even though they’re twins, Nannan is like he’s several years older than Beibei, always yielding to and taking care of Beibei.

For a while, I was worried Beibei would get used to his brother’s concessions and come to expect it as a given, so I intentionally ignored Beibei to correct him.

Eventually, I realized my concerns were unnecessary. It’s simply a matter of their differing personalities. Beibei knows his brother treats him well, and even when he snatches something he likes, he doesn’t really keep it. Sometimes he’ll even give his brother more in return.

So, I stopped interfering with how the children got along and didn’t separate their differences so clearly anymore. Now, their personality differences are still obvious, but no matter which one, they are both sensible, just that Nannan is a bit more so..."

Looking at his wife softly, listening to her chat about the little-known and unexperienced anecdotes of their sons, a warm sensation welled up in his heart. All the rough and tough days of the past year seemed miles away in that instant...

After talking about the kids, she reported to her husband about the elders back home one by one. Although these had been mentioned over the phone before, meeting in person made her want to discuss it all over again.

Seeing him that instant, the weight she’d been carrying around in her chest disappeared. She wanted to tell him everything she knew, and she even felt that if time could stop right then and there, it would be beautiful.

Unbeknownst to her, their relationship had developed to such intimacy!

Watching her suddenly stop and look at him with such tenderness, he instinctively cradled her face with his hands and kissed her. Time seemed to stand still... Nothing else in the world mattered but each other, and they were deaf to all other sounds!

After a while, Chuxia snapped back to reality and pushed him with her small hand, making the already struggling Division Commander Tongzi feel even more uncomfortable. This wasn’t pushing; this was clearly playing hard to get!

"Little vixen!" Zhou Mikang lifted his head and helplessly tapped her forehead, "Are you trying to kill me on purpose?"

Chuxia rolled her eyes at him, "You started it, can you blame me?"

That eye roll seemed utterly enchanting to him, so he helplessly buried his head in her neck and remained motionless for a long time. Chuxia was too scared to move, fearing she might stoke his fire even further.

"Maybe... maybe we should sit separately." Chuxia softly suggested; sitting together like this was just the beginning of the torment, and she couldn’t bear to see it anymore.

"It’s okay." Despite the struggle, Zhou Mikang was reluctant to let go after finally seeing his little wife, "Let’s just talk about something else to distract ourselves."

"I brought photos of Longlong and Huhu, and letters Xiaoqiong and Doudou wrote to my brother and Instructor Zhou. Why don’t we deliver them first?" Chuxia suggested to Zhou Mikang, "I’m sure they’re looking forward to it."

"Okay." Zhou Mikang agreed readily. Since they could meet every day from now on, and as Division Commander, he also needed to consider others’ feelings.

As Zhou Hanliang had said, he couldn’t be a full man unaware of the hunger of others, although in reality, he was just visually satiated while enduring greater torment...

"Division Commander, sister-in-law..." Seeing Zhou Mikang and Chuxia approaching, Zhou Hanliang hurriedly came forward, "You two haven’t seen each other for so long; you should chat more. Why rush over here?"

"Don’t you want to see photos of your son?"

"Of course I do..." Zhou Hanliang smiled favorably and reached out to Chuxia, "Sister-in-law, I meant what I said wholeheartedly, with no trace of falsehood. You have to believe me. Thank you for your efforts, hehe..."

"Fine, I’ll cut you some slack since you haven’t seen your son yet..." Chuxia handed him Yun Doudou’s letter, "The photos are inside, both of mother and son. Take a look. By the way, Doudou wanted me to ask you whether you feel a sense of unfamiliarity when you see her photos."

Zhou Hanliang trembled as he opened the envelope and took out the photos, gazing greedily at his wife smiling brightly and the chubby boy in her arms. His ears could hardly hear Chuxia’s inquiry. After a long while, he returned to his senses and looked at Chuxia, "Did sister-in-law just say something to me?"

Chuxia repeated her question.

"No, not at all. How could it be? Whether there’s a photo or not, whether we meet or not, she’s already imprinted in my mind. How could she seem unfamiliar?" Zhou Hanliang shook his head as he spoke, "How can you think so irrationally? It’s too unjust. By the way, is that what people who’ve had kids like to imagine?"

Chuxia glared at him, "Haven’t you noticed any changes in Doudou?"

"Changes?" Zhou Hanliang studied the photos for a while longer, "Apart from putting on a little weight, there’s no change. She hasn’t cut her hair, and she looks the same, so where’s the change?"

"Alright, I’ll relay your words to Doudou exactly as they are." Chuxia waved him off, "I’m going to find big brother; he must be looking forward to his reply too."

"You don’t need to find him. I told him to report directly to the Division Commander after finishing his shift..." Zhou Hanliang glanced at his watch, "If you head back now, he should be there already."

Chuxia waved at him, "Okay, you take your time with the photos and letters; I’m off."

"Why aren’t you and Zhou Hanliang in the same tent?" After walking a few steps, Chuxia curiously asked Zhou Mikang.

"Because you came." Zhou Mikang tweaked his little wife’s head, "Yesterday he took the initiative to move his stuff over to the First Regiment’s side. Considering it wouldn’t be convenient for him here, I didn’t stop him."

"You..." Chuxia glared at him, "Your actions will definitely make him misunderstand; it’s annoying. Have him move back tomorrow, okay?"

Zhou Mikang nodded, "Okay, I can tell him, but how he chooses is up to him."

With an attitude like this, would Zhou Hanliang dare move back? Chuxia looked at Zhou Mikang with resignation, utterly speechless...(To be continued.
