"Yun Hao, why are you so kind to me?"
Would you have wanted to kill me if you remembered what happened in our previous life?
Yun Hao cleared his throat lightly, "You're my wife, should I treat other women well if not you?"
His words were as harsh as ever.
But she also knew that this man just had a tough tongue.
"Yun Hao, I want to sleep holding you," Meng Yunhan said openly. Yun Hao did feel a little uncomfortable at this, but in no more than an instant, he took off his military overcoat, lifted the blanket a bit, and got into bed.
Seeing Yun Hao in bed, Meng Yunhan's little arm reached out to hug his waist, while Yun Hao's big hand firmly embraced her.
"Yun Hao, all of this feels like a dream to me."
Yun Hao leaned over to give Meng Yunhan a serious kiss, still expressionless, "It's not a dream."
Meng Yunhan was stirred by the moist sensation, glancing subconsciously at Yun Hao.
"Yun Hao, Yun Hao..."
Feeling the warmth and softness of a woman in his arms, a woman who was still moving and whom he loved, Yun Hao, a man, couldn't resist her pleading gaze. Little Yun Hao gradually showed a reaction, and Meng Yunhan, who had lived through one lifetime, immediately felt the change in Yun Hao's body, her body instinctively tensing up.
"Yun Hao..."
"Don't move." Yun Hao tried hard to curb his desires flooding his heart, reprimanding himself: disgraceful.
"Just holding you like this is enough." Yun Hao thought about how he made Meng Yunhan faint last night, he didn't dare to touch her now, and could only tolerate his yearning.
Meng Yunhan didn't dare to move, although she really wanted to promise him. She was willing to bear his children, after all, the college entrance exam would be resumed next year. But what if she got pregnant now? What about the child she had aborted? How was she going to deal with that?
She felt guilt for that child, the child she had abandoned before it was born.
"Yun Hao, can you talk to me about your life in the military?"
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Five minutes passed.
There was still no sound, so Meng Yunhan finally looked up at Yun Hao, "Can you not talk about it?"
"Hanhan, would you like to follow me into the army?" Yun Hao wondered how he could cope without his wife close to him, used as he was to being this intimate with her. He was considering letting his wife follow him, but then thought, if his wife did join him, his food allowance might not be enough for both of them. What kind of life could he give her if he spent his stipend on food?
He could not bear the thought of his wife suffering with him in the army.
At home, her parents could take care of her, and they had their own land. Whatever food she felt like eating was available. Additionally, she was earning a wage as a teacher every month.
"Join the army?" To be honest, Meng Yunhan was not willing to join the army. She had decided to go to college in this life, but decades had passed since she had set eyes on middle school or high school textbooks in her previous life so getting into college would be difficult. She needed to prepare for her university entrance exams while teaching at home.
Yun Hao immediately noticed her hesitation. It wasn't an absolute yes, so it seemed she also was not willing to follow him into the army.
The thought sank his heart like a stone into the depth of the ocean.
"I don't want to!"
"I just got married, it wouldn't be great if I were to follow you into the army now. We should at least wait a year or two," Meng Yunhan suggested, sensing his anger.
Wait for a year or two?
"Why is my wife so sure about one or two years?"
"Of course, it's possible." As long as his wife could accompany him with the troop, it was a good start.
Seeing the children of his two brothers, he also craved to have his own, wanting as pretty a daughter as his wife. His own daughter would surely be more beautiful than his nieces.
If his eldest sister-in-law Zhang Cuihua and second sister-in-law Zhao Fang knew about Yun Hao's thoughts, they would definitely be speechless!
"Tomorrow is New Year's Day, do you want to go to the county?" Yun Hao said so because he wanted to take Meng Yunhan to the county to shop. They got married yesterday, and she didn't make any preparations, not even her wedding dress—it was all provided by his side. He understands that she didn't want to marry him yesterday, but today was different, she cared so much about him today. As her man, he couldn't let his wife be wronged anymore.
He knew he would end up mistreating her or causing her to suffer. Serving in the army year-round, marrying him would be like living a widow's life, in nicer terms, being a soldier's wife. But there's no woman who wouldn't wish for their man to accompany them, is there?
In the future, he could only satisfy her materially as much as possible.
"Why do we need to go to the county?" Meng Yunhan looked at Yun Hao very seriously and uttered this sentence.
Yun Hao was straightforward, saying without any reluctance, "To get you some belongings."
Meng Yunhan was taken aback, but then a smile appeared on her face as she shook her head, "I don't need to acquire anything."
In this era of grain and cloth shortage, you have to carry food coupons and introduction letters whenever you go out. Besides, she didn't need to add anything. After living a good life for decades, she would definitely find it uncomfortable to return to the life before liberation overnight.
It's the same as saying it's easy to go from frugality into luxury, but it's quite hard to accept the reverse.
But she was prepared to make up for it, prepared to be a good wife for the rest of her life. Eats well, only needs to feed one mouth, sleeps well, only needs one bed.
She knew that most people live like this nowadays. If others could live this way, so could she—Meng Yunhan.
Seeing a desk in the room, the warm water bottle placed on the desk, and a porcelain jar printed with: "Serve the People."
There were also several new porcelain basins, each printed with a large "Happiness" character. The pillows were embroidered with mandarin ducks, and the quilts were all provided by Yun Hao's family.
Yun Hao thought Meng Yunhan was trying to economize, "Tomorrow, we'll go to the county."
"Yun Hao, rather than going to the county, it would be better to stay home and accompany me." No sooner had the words fallen, Meng Yunhan felt her face heating up. She closed her eyes in embarrassment, pulling the quilt over her head.
She was chiding herself internally: How could she be so shameless? Didn't she know to restrain herself, how could she utter those words?
In her previous life, she lived for decades. After her divorce, she had relationships, but none of them went further. In other people's eyes, she was a workaholic, a strong woman, but how did she become a lovesick woman after her reincarnation?
Yun Hao's heart was filled with sweetness. He had been swept over and over by waves of candy today.
His wife must have him in her heart, there must be him.
All that he gave had been correspondingly returned, not just a whim of passion.
Finding her shyly hiding in the quilt, out of fear that she might suffocate, Yun Hao forcefully pulled the quilt away from her face, seriously stating, "You can't cover yourself."
Meng Yunhan dumbly stuttered out a reply.
Yun Hao didn't say anything more, just held her closely, listening to her heartbeat, as if only in this way could he believe that she had really married him, that she was now in his arms, and this wasn't a dream.
