Chapter 36: Shameless
Shi Xiaoai had a headache.
She never thought that Cheng Yang could say such a sentence to her.
However, she really couldn't refuse sternly.
This man had been pretending to be so majestic and imposing all day, so much so that she had forgotten that not long ago, he had almost lost his life due to severe injuries.
Logically, this person shouldn't have come back so early!
Shi Xiaoai took her hands out of Cheng Yang's arms, and before he could show his disappointed expression, she grabbed his clothes and lifted them up hard!
Cheng Yang was very thin, and the military uniform didn't fit him well. With this lift, the entire hem of the clothes, including the standard cotton-padded jacket inside, was lifted directly above the chest, exposing most of the chest, waist, and abdomen.
Shi Xiaoai's heart suddenly tightened when she saw it!
Cheng Yang's body was covered with gauze, covering all his exposed skin. It seemed that he was afraid that he would accidentally touch the wound when he moved, so the gauze was wrapped very thickly, and several strong knots were tied on his body.
But even so, the outermost gauze was frayed and had rough edges in several places.
In addition, the gauze had several light yellow wet marks, which seemed to be caused by wound exudation.
"How many days have you been riding the train? Are you running around before the wound has healed? What will happen if you come back two days late? What are you in a hurry for?"
Shi Xiaoai was really anxious now and couldn't help complaining.
Regardless of how the problem between her and Cheng Yang was to be resolved, after spending half a day together, she had to admit that he was a good person.
Moreover, he is the father of two children and a fighting hero. If the wound becomes infected on his return, Shi Xiaoai will feel uneasy.
She rolled out of bed, put on her shoes, and went to find the doctor.
"I'm anxious to come back to see you." Seeing her anger, Cheng Yang quickly grabbed her arm and answered quickly.
He looked at her and said sincerely: "Xiao Ai, can you please stop asking me to leave in a hurry?"
He held her hand tightly and said in a low voice: "You know everything about my family. From the day I went to the countryside, I have been abandoned by my family. If you don't even want me now, I will never have a home again." I don't want to be homeless; I want to be with you."
Cheng Yang lowered his head as he spoke, placed his head on Shi Xiaoai's side, and never said a word.
Being held by him like this, the veins on Shi Xiaoai's forehead jumped.
What do I know about your previous situation?
I know nothing! No one told me at all!
She couldn't help but complain in her heart.
But feeling the heavy head on her waist, she couldn't say no.
After staring at his head for a while, Shi Xiaoai pushed him away.
She sidled past the bed and said casually: "Sit down and don't move; I'll go find the doctor," and left in a hurry. Her back looked like she was running away.
Cheng Yang sat up straight, stared at the retreating figure, and couldn't help but rub his fingers.
It was as if he could still feel the warmth of his wife's body at this time.
He knew that his behavior just now was a bit shameless. He was taking advantage of Xiao Ai's kindness, betting she still had some compassion for him.
If it were any other time, Cheng Yang would despise this behavior.
But now——
Shameless is shameless; his wife doesn't want him anymore!
As long as he can stay, as long as he can be re-accepted by his wife, and can keep this family, he is willing to do anything.
In fact, Cheng Yang had thought about this situation before coming back.
He knew very well in his heart that, just as Xiao Ai said, it would be worn away no matter how good the relationship was after five years of no news.
What's more, their previous relationship was far from profound.
Cheng Yang had also imagined that if his wife didn't want to be with him when he came back this time, or if she had found the person she liked, he would take the initiative to let her go and not stop her from finding happiness.
At the same time, she will be given specific compensation.
As for the children, if she is willing to leave it to him to raise, Cheng Yang will do his best to be a good father. If she didn't want to, he wouldn't do anything like forcing mother and son to separate.
Cheng Yang has been dependent on his mother since he was a child. He understands better than anyone how difficult it is for a young woman to live with a child.
What's more, Shi Xiaoai also raised a pair of twins, and the pain she suffered was doubled.
No matter the reason, I wasted five years of others time, which was the best years of a woman's life, so she should make any compensation.
This time, when he came back, he deliberately brought back all the allowances and subsidies. He just hoped to have a good talk with his wife, and it would be best if they could live together to live well in the future.
If she wanted a divorce, he would agree and leave all the money to her and her children.
Cheng Yang really thought everything through. He felt that he could face any situation calmly.
But he never imagined that all these thoughts would be wiped out in just half a day.
He suddenly regretted it.
The moment he saw Xiao Ai and his children being bullied, and when he saw his once weak wife fighting to protect her children and people, Cheng Yang's heart clenched into knots.
That feeling was more painful than when the landmine fragments penetrated my chest!
He knew then that there was no way he could let go.
He couldn't give up his wife or his children.
If he doesn't take them under his protection and protect them, Cheng Yang feels that he will be uneasy for the rest of his life.
He knew Xiao Ai was resentful of him and no longer regarded him as her husband. Thinking of this, Cheng Yang felt uncomfortable again.
But Cheng Yang felt that he could still try harder.
As a member of the Pioneer Battalion, he is not afraid of any fortress, no matter how difficult it is to conquer; as a husband, he will do his best to beat his wife's heart!
Shi Xiaoai came back with the doctor soon.
After looking at Cheng Yang's wounds, the doctor couldn't help but scold him even though he knew he was a fighting hero.
Through the conversation between the doctor and Cheng Yang, Shi Xiaoai discovered that the man had returned from a hard-seat train ride for two days and three nights before his wound had fully healed.
You can imagine how much you suffered during this period.
Shi Xiaoai was speechless for a while.
She could neither complain about Cheng Yang's eagerness to return home nor accuse him of not caring for his body. She could only stay quietly and watch the doctor clean Cheng Yang's wounds again and wrap his upper body into rice dumplings again.
After the doctor left, Cheng Yang lowered his head and arranged his clothes.
Shi Xiaoai then walked to the table, silently picked up the bamboo basket, turned around, and asked: "Which restaurant did you buy lunch in? How much deposit did you pay?"
Seeing her like this, Cheng Yang said quickly: "Don't go out in the cold. I'll return it later."
Shi Xiaoai rolled her eyes at him angrily: "It's cold when I go out, but you won't feel cold when you go out? Do you want me to care for the three of you if you catch a cold again?"
Cheng Yang paused in his movements, looked up at her, and smiled sheepishly.
"Okay, just stay here honestly. When you are tired, sleep next to Mingrui for a while. He knows you and won't make trouble. Tell me the name of the restaurant quickly. I have to go home to cook after I finish."
Listening to her complaints, the smile on Cheng Yang's face never broke, as if he was listening to someone's praise.
That silly look made Shi Xiaoai feel blind.
She was too lazy to talk to this person anymore; she just felt that her luck was really bad, and these bad things happened one after another.
But looking at the man who was struggling to keep up but was obviously exhausted, she really couldn't say those cold words anymore.
