In the middle of the night, Li Wanqing was woken up by her daughter kicking her.

After comforting her daughter, Li Wanqing realized that Cheng Baichuan was not lying in bed.

It's this late, why aren't you sleeping? Did you go to the outhouse?

Li Wanqing covered Nuonuo with the blanket, then put on a coat and got out of bed.

Upon opening the door, Li Wanqing saw Cheng Baichuan sitting alone at the stone table in the courtyard.

Hearing the sound, Cheng Baichuan turned to look at her. "Did I wake you up?"

Li Wanqing straightened her clothes and walked over. "No, Nuonuo seems to have had a nightmare, so she woke up."

"Why aren't you going inside to sleep? What are you doing sitting here?"

She was still wearing a vest; wasn't she afraid of getting cold?

Cheng Baichuan smiled slightly, "I just couldn't sleep, so I came out to sit for a while."

Li Wanqing sat down on another stone bench. "Is it because of your leg?"

She thought Cheng Baichuan didn't care, but she didn't expect that he just kept it to himself and didn't show it.

Cheng Baichuan's smile froze slightly. "Actually, it's not so bad. It's just that I feel a little useless."

It was a minor injury, but after two years of recuperation and almost two weeks of rehabilitation, it still hasn't healed.

He couldn't even get there in time to stand up for his wife.

Li Wanqing sighed softly; she could understand Cheng Baichuan's frustration.

An accident changed many things.

He is no longer the top soldier who could excel in everything, but a patient who even has difficulty walking.

Something that seems extremely ordinary to outsiders can trigger the vulnerability hidden deep within him.

"Don't let Nuonuo hear you say that, or you'll be responsible for comforting her if she cries," Li Wanqing said seriously.

Cheng Baichuan was a little puzzled. What did this have to do with Nuonuo?

Didn't you hear what I said?

"My legs are ruined, I can barely walk, I can't protect you and Nuonuo anymore."

Cheng Baichuan became more and more agitated as he spoke; he had never been so depressed as he was now.

The view before us was like a dark mountain range in the distance, with not a single ray of light in sight.

Li Wanqing's face turned ashen. "So what?"

Cheng Baichuan stared at her blankly, unsure how to answer her question.

Because... he didn't know either!

"It's a fact that you were injured, and it's also a fact that your leg hasn't fully recovered yet."

Li Wanqing's words pierced Cheng Baichuan's heart like a sharp blade, drawing blood with every blow.

Sure enough, he's now a disliked burden!

He couldn't even satisfy Li Wanqing's most basic physiological needs!

Li Wanqing watched his head lower and lower, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

"Cheng Baichuan! Even if those are all true, when did the doctor ever say that your leg couldn't recover?"

"Did the military region reject you, abandon you, or ask you to transfer to civilian work?"

Li Wanqing's voice was slightly deep, "How can you belittle yourself like this? What do you consider the time Nuonuo and I have spent with you these past few days?"

Under repeated questioning, Cheng Baichuan finally began to face his problems.

Since he regained consciousness, everyone around him has been encouraging him.

Especially Li Wanqing!

Strictly speaking, he and she were not familiar with each other at all, and there was no deep affection between them.

Yet, she was able to bring her daughter from afar to see him, even though he might have to sacrifice himself.

Even when his parents gave up, she didn't give up.

So, with his cowardly thoughts now, who can he face?

"young married woman......"

Li Wanqing turned her head away in a huff, "Don't call me. If you really think you're useless, then I'll take Nuonuo and leave."

"Anyway, we have hands and feet, so we won't starve anywhere."

Li Wanqing deliberately spoke harshly, but if that didn't work, Cheng Baichuan still wouldn't realize his mistake...

Then she'll have no choice but to use her ultimate move!

Upon hearing this, Cheng Baichuan lost all interest in overthinking.

"Wife, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong."

"Don't be angry, I will never do it again."

Li Wanqing still refused to turn around, but she had already breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"A man's words are deceitful. You admit you're wrong today, but who knows when you might suddenly act up again."

Cheng Baichuan was both amused and exasperated; he truly knew he had made a mistake.

It was because of what happened in the evening that he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, which caused him to start overthinking.

"Wife, I swear, I will never do it again."

Cheng Baichuan raised his right hand, holding up his middle three fingers with a serious expression.

"If I make the same mistake again, may I never be able to stand up again, may I never come back from any mission... Waaah..."

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Li Wanqing covered his mouth. "What kind of oath are you making!"

It's one thing if you can't stand up, but what's with not being able to come back from a mission?

Wouldn't that implicate others?

Cheng Baichuan pulled his wife's hand down, held it tightly, and then chuckled.

"Honey, don't be angry!"

Li Wanqing glared at him. "It's freezing! Go back to sleep."

Cheng Baichuan sighed and stood up with the help of Li Wanqing's hand.

"Let's go to sleep!"

As he spoke, he reached out and hugged Li Wanqing, and the two of them huddled together as they went back into the house.

When they entered the room, they found Nuonuo's small body lying sideways on the bed, almost having kicked the blanket off.

Cheng Baichuan glanced at Li Wanqing and said, "Our daughter's sleeping posture is definitely just like yours."

Li Wanqing glared at him, gritting her teeth as she said, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again?"

Cheng Baichuan felt a chill run down his spine and wisely changed his tune.

"Follow me, follow me!"

Li Wanqing chuckled, "Hurry up and get on the bed, move Nuonuo to the innermost part against the wall."

This way, she can flip over as she pleases without worrying about falling.

Cheng Baichuan propped himself up on the edge of the bed and carefully moved his daughter inside, covering her with the blanket.

"Honey, I've warmed the bed for you."

Cheng Baichuan patted the middle spot and looked at Li Wanqing with a smile.

...Suddenly he started acting very obsequious!

Li Wanqing took off her coat and got into bed. She first checked on her daughter's condition before crawling into the covers.

As soon as I lay down, a pair of hands reached out from behind me.

The next second, she pressed herself against a broad chest that emitted a slight chill.

Pfft!Pfft!

The sounds of hearts beating incessantly were indistinguishable, making it impossible to tell whose heart was whose.

Li Wanqing felt a warm, damp breath around her neck, and heard Cheng Baichuan's deep, restrained voice in her ear.

"Wife, let's be good to each other from now on, okay?"

Li Wanqing didn't dare to move at all, and could only nod stiffly and whisper "hmm".

The force surrounding her tightened, and Li Wanqing's heart leaped into her throat.

Brother!

Something's not right here. My daughter is right next to me.

However, after waiting for a while, Cheng Baichuan made no further move, and one could even hear his even breathing.

Li Wanqing was a little flustered. What was going on?!
