Chapter 219: Tsk tsk, Shen Man's lover's possessiveness is just too extreme!

"Why aren't you waiting for me at home?"

Shen Man isn't at all intimidated by the man's expressionless, solemn look; perhaps after spending so much time together, she even feels like laughing and can't help but tease him.

However, for the safety of comrade Zhou Hongyu, she still explains directly:

"Alright, stop glaring at the little girl; she's named Zhou Hongyu, a candidate taking the military medical exam today just like me, and she spoke up for me."

"I invited her to come home with me for lunch; you don't mind, do you?"

"Little girl? Female comrade?"

Jiang Ye's expression softened, at least he no longer looked so stern.

"Yes, female comrade, the situation is a bit special; I'll explain in detail tonight. For now, don't keep that sour face, just lead the way."

Shen Man tugged the man's sleeve, giving him a subtle signal.

People are coming and going here; it's not the ideal moment we talked about.

"Fine."

Jiang Ye instantly shed his earlier low pressure, his expression changing as quickly as a flip, and walked ahead to lead the way.

"Good girl, Shen Man, your husband isn't an ordinary officer, is he? I just felt as if some huge beast had locked onto me, it scared me to death."

Zhou Hongyu was half joking, half serious.

She was sure that, if she were actually a man, she would have probably confessed everything just now.

Tsk tsk, Shen Man's lover's possessiveness is just too extreme!

"He, at present, is a Regiment Commander, not a particularly high-ranking officer. Don't be afraid; he's just jealous. I explained, you're a female comrade, and that's fine."

Shen Man smiled apologetically and got back onto the rear seat of the bicycle.

"Regiment Commander? Oh, that rank is quite high! Good girl, no wonder—I sensed this vibe..."

Zhou Hongyu pedaled even slower, crawling like a turtle.

Her little heart went thump-thump.

I originally thought Shen Man was just an ordinary military spouse, but unexpectedly, she's the Regiment Commander's wife!

Judging by her age, she shouldn't be over thirty!

A commander so young must have amassed countless battle merits—a solid thumbs-up!

"Alright, later you can have an extra bowl of noodles? Add a marinated egg; my husband's cooking is excellent."

Shen Man originally intended to comfort her, but surprised by the flattery, she hurriedly said:

"I can have an extra bowl of noodles, but no need for the marinated egg; you're pregnant, I can't compete with you for food."

Zhou Hongyu was still very self-aware; she was just lucky, having said a few words for Shen Man. People seeing her awkwardness and taking her home for a meal was already quite nice.

One must not overstep and become too pushy!

Shen Man fell silent; later, when they got home, the other would know how many salted eggs her husband had prepared.

She'd gotten so fed up that just seeing a salted egg made her want to run.

After arriving, Zhou Hongyu was very restrained.

"Shen Man, your home is huge, and the courtyard is kept very tidy."

People, when they're restrained, tend to look for topics.

"It was all my husband who tidied up; I'm not fond of doing housework."

Shen Man led her to the well water to wash her hands, pointing toward the bathroom and saying:

"That way is the bathroom; if you need to use the toilet you can go in. The door can be closed from inside; after finishing, just scoop water to flush the pit."

"Bathroom? So convenient!"

Zhou Hongyu was extremely amazed; having received the lady's approval, she breezily went to use the bathroom.

Good girl, it's really clean inside!

Not a hint of odor!

Everything is stored neatly; she feels too embarrassed to squat and relieve herself, fearing she'd dirty the place....

In the kitchen, Jiang Ye was also watching the outside commotion; seeing his daughter-in-law wash her hands, while she was picking at Tangyuan, he lifted the curtain and came out to ask:

"Was the exam smooth? What did that female comrade help you with?"

"It went well, but there was a male comrade who spoke rudely a few times; comrade Zhou stood up for me and retorted. So, do you think I should invite them over for a simple meal?"

"Should."

Jiang Ye squinted, and indeed, it should.

"I'll serve you both noodles first: yours will have tomato and egg topping; hers will use dried chili and two marinated eggs. Does that work?"

"Sure, bring out a plate of the pickled radish that Wangjie sent; I want to eat it."

"Mm."

After the couple agreed, Jiang Ye set off to the kitchen to prepare.

"Meow~."

Master, you have a heavy amount of dead qi on you.

"Hmm, today's military medical exam probably picked it up in the testing room, right?"

"Meow~."

Master, you must beware of dead qi; contact with it is harmful to the body and is the source of this world's ailments.

"Okay, later I'll enter a space to cleanse the dead qi on me; it won't affect me or the fetus in my womb."

Shen Man didn't ignore Tangyuan's warning; dead qi is a type of energy flow she recently discovered.

Usually it's felt in hospitals or on the bodies of very elderly people.

She doesn't know when it began, but whenever she passes by, dead qi gathers around her.

Just thinking with your toes, you'd know this is abnormal—not something good.

Fortunately, the immortal lotus in the space can absorb death qi; as long as she stays in the space for a while, the death qi can be separated, so it's not really a problem.

「Meow。」

Tangyuan rubbed against its owner's belly, the little thing is extremely cute.

By this time next year, the little masters will be crawling all over the place, right?

「Wow, Comrade Shen Man, you even have a cat at home—what an adorable cat! 」

Zhou Hongyu came out of the bathroom, saw the cute cat at a glance, and her whole self melted.

「Mm, this is a member of my family, Tangyuan—very cute, right? It's a tabby cat. 」

Shen Man rubbed Tangyuan's head, indicating that Tangyuan should give the other a response.

「Meow。」

If someone has ill intentions, Tangyuan won't even acknowledge them.

However, this person's aura is green and white—not a bad person.

For a person of utmost purity and goodness, the Mighty Meow King can reluctantly interact with them for a while.

Zhou Hongyu saw such a human-understanding cat for the first time, and also had her first lunch that left her completely full!

Green pepper fragrance dried topping over noodles, two braised eggs—she ate two bowls!

Full, really full!

For a long time to come, whenever Zhou Hongyu thinks of this meal, she will feel immense gratitude toward Shen Man and her spouse.

This was her first time being invited to a friend's house for a meal, and also the first time she ate until full and ate so well.

There's nothing to be done; a child without parents has had a very special upbringing from a young age.

Inferiority, sensitivity, suspicion.

Although she appears carefree and tomboyish, inside she is still quite inferior and sensitive.

Being carefree is just her disguise.

She pretends not to care, pretends to be strong, so that she won't be seen as a soft persimmon to be squeezed......

「Have some cooling tea to aid digestion. 」

「Thank you. 」

Boo-hoo-hoo, Shen Man gave her more tasty food again!

She declared that if she could get into military medical school, she would definitely become good friends with Shen Man from now on!

Then, after making money, she would feed Shen Man lots of tasty food!

A child who rarely receives kindness from others, once they do, will desperately repay......
