834: How could he be tired at such an important time?

On the afternoon of the third day, they returned to the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing took turns driving, but most of the time, Lu Jing was driving while Xiao Niannian sat in the passenger seat, chatting with him.

"Finally home."

Hearing his wife say they were home, Lu Jing smiled.

"Yes, we're home."

Xiao Niannian lowered her head, sniffed herself, and said,

"Staying in the border outpost these past few days, I haven't had much time to shower. I feel really uncomfortable."

"I'll give you a bath when we get back."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian glanced at him.

Lu Jing lowered his head, about to kiss his wife, but Xiao Niannian pushed him away.

"Someone's coming."

Hearing this, Lu Jing immediately let go of his wife and opened the car door.

He saw Military Doctor Shen and Xiao Cui walking towards them.

"Captain Lu, Captain Xiao."

Several Team Members shouted loudly.

Xiao Niannian got out of the passenger seat and looked at them.

More Team Members rushed over, lifted Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian, and tossed them into the air.

"Ah..."

"So excellent!"

"Captain Xiao, you guys are amazing."

Meng Ning, Lin Shi, and Gao Yao cheered as they tossed Xiao Niannian up.

Shen Yan also shouted super loudly from the side.

"Captain Xiao and Captain Lu are the best!"

Xiao Niannian smiled happily, hearing their cheers.

Not far away, Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li were smiling happily.

"These people are still like children..."

Political Commissar Li smiled and said, hearing Captain Chen's words.

"For us, people in their twenties are indeed children."

Captain Chen nodded and added,

"Looking at them, I think of ourselves in the past. It was like this during the war too..."

Other Team Members who remained at the Special Forces Brigade also ran out when they heard the commotion.

"The Captain and the others are back."

"Captain Lu and Captain Xiao are back..."

After getting down, Xiao Niannian immediately walked towards the dormitory.

At this moment, she really wanted to take a good shower and then have a good sleep.

Xiao Niannian carried her luggage back to the Family Courtyard.

As soon as she opened the door, the room was warm. She took off her coat and thick jacket, opened her luggage, picked out a set of clothes, and walked towards the bathroom.

She had just started showering with hot water, her body covered in bubbles.

Xiao Niannian heard the sounds of the courtyard gate and main door opening and closing, and then footsteps approaching the bathroom.

Xiao Niannian also heard the sound of clothes being taken off.

Xiao Niannian rinsed the bubbles from her hair, and just as she finished, the bathroom door opened.

Lu Jing, wearing only a pair of briefs, directly hugged Xiao Niannian and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Xiao Niannian raised her hands, embraced Lu Jing's head, and passionately responded to him.

For the past month or two, they had been away and had no time for intimacy. Now they were back on their own territory.

Lu Jing's breathing was ragged. He exerted a slight force, his large hand tightly clasping her waist, fiercely taking her breath away.

Lu Jing held his wife with one hand, placing a large bath towel on the sink. After the towel was in place, he gently placed his wife on it.

Warm water rained down from above, but it didn't disturb them. The temperature in the bathroom rose even higher, and the sound of water concealed other noises.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Jing picked up his wife, opened the bathroom door, and returned to the room.

Lu Jing placed Xiao Niannian on the bed. As Lu Jing pressed down, Xiao Niannian hugged him, flipped over, and sat on top of him.

Xiao Niannian's fingers slid across Lu Jing's chest.

"Captain Lu, aren't you tired?"

Lu Jing's eyes held a smile.

"Not tired."

He had gone three days and three nights without rest before. These past few days, he had rested seven or eight hours every day, so what was there to be tired about?

Moreover, at such an important moment, how could he be tired?

Xiao Niannian's hand poked Lu Jing's eight-pack abs, sliding back and forth across his chest.

Lu Jing held his wife's hand, the smile in his eyes so thick it couldn't be dissolved.

"Wife, how long do you plan to torment me?"

Lu Jing held her hand and moved it down... Three hours later, the commotion in the room finally ceased.

Xiao Niannian was so tired she fell asleep directly.

When Xiao Niannian woke up, it was already one or two in the morning.

She heard the sound of stir-frying in the kitchen. Fortunately, Lu Jing had arranged for the sound insulation in this dormitory to be improved, otherwise, at this time, it would definitely disturb the other Team Members.

Xiao Niannian moved her body. Not having exercised for a while, she felt a bit sore.

She saw the neatly folded clothes beside her and quickly put them on.

She saw three dishes and a soup already on the table, and in one of the bowls, several kinds of cured meats were steaming.

"You're awake. Come and eat quickly."

Lu Jing brought over the bowls and chopsticks, looking at his wife with a face full of smiles.

Xiao Niannian sat on the sofa.

Seeing the soup bowl Lu Jing handed her, her eyes were filled with a smile.

"Thank you, darling."

Hearing his wife's words, Lu Jing's heart swelled with joy.

She was truly hungry at this moment.

Xiao Niannian ate the food heartily.

The food in Heilongjiang Province tasted alright, but what she loved most was the Xiang cuisine made by her grandmothers, and the dishes made by Lu Jing.

This steamed cured meat assortment that Lu Jing made tasted exceptionally good. Even though she used the same recipe as Lu Jing, was this talent? Lu Jing's talent for cooking was truly excellent.

"These cured pork and cured pork intestines were made by the Sisters-in-law at my request."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian nodded.

"Then you should send some to the Sisters-in-law to thank them."

"I did."

Xiao Niannian drank the chicken soup.

The chicken soup tasted very delicious. She thought of the chickens in her space; their taste was also extremely delicious.

She was about to speak when she heard a sound outside.

"Someone's here."

Lu Jing also heard the voices.

"The lights are still on, so they must not be asleep yet."

"I just smelled stir-frying. It must be Old Lu cooking."

Instructor Qin, Senior Brother, and Shen Yan.

Xiao Niannian smiled.

She had heard from her Senior Brother and the others before that they used to visit each other's houses for meals.

At this moment, these people must have eaten dinner and were feeling a bit hungry again.

"I'll open the door."

Lu Jing got up and walked towards the door.

Xiao Niannian nodded.

Shen Yan raised his hand. When the door opened, Brother Lu's gaze was somewhat sharp as he stared at him.

"Brother Lu."

Shen Yan wanted to say some nice words, but at this moment, being stared at by Lu Jing's gaze, he couldn't utter a single word.

Shen Yan was screaming internally: Stupid mouth, speak up!

"Come in."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Military Doctor Shen and Instructor Qin laughed softly at Shen Yan's appearance.

"Grab your own bowls and chopsticks."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Shen Yan immediately quickened his pace to get bowls and chopsticks and distribute them to Instructor Qin and Military Doctor Shen.

"Brother Lu, your cooking is truly amazing."

Shen Yan praised with a smile.

He was genuinely praising him. His own brother's cooking was also good, but his brother rarely cooked, even though Brother Lu often cooked for Sister Xiao.
